I’m currently reading Anathem so this is an interesting topic.

For simplicity, let’s say that all quantum interactions have two possible outcomes, 0 or 1.

The first point is that we can only talk about what interactions appear to have done in the past in our worldline/universe, which is randomly distribute themselves between 0 and 1. If we happened to be on a worldline where all interactions had always resulted in 0 for the whole history of the universe then that universe almost certainly wouldn’t support complex life. So perhaps there’s an observership bias here: if quantum interactions hadn’t decently distributed themselves between 0 and 1 then we wouldn’t be asking this question (just like the values of all the other fundamental constants).

As far as I can tell there’s nothing in current theories which would rule out all future interactions happening to result in a 0. Let’s hope our consciousness don’t end up on that worldline (unless you believe in quantum invulnerability).

Sure but if a propagandized population is hellbent in what they believe, they are a danger. Just because they have been brainwashed doesn’t mean we should let our guard down out of pity. It should make us more alarmed because they would actually go and do something batshit crazy.

It’s honestly very unsettling to think about.

Was hiking alone at dusk in Colorado and came upon a large black bear. I was already very nervous and wanted to go home. I took off running, in full panic. Coyotes were howling the woods. I fell and badly broke my elbow, bleeding everywhere. It was a long hour and a half hike back to the car, bleeding out the whole time. The bear hardly even looked at me. Probably I should have just backed away slowly. But as a novice, handling these situations alone is scary. It's easier said than done to stand your ground
> Prevention of wildfires requires human intervention and brush clearing. I believe this is a factor right now in California

Prevention of all wildfires requires intervention, but the natural state is lots of small fires and that actually results in fewer huge fires, so “neglect” is a valid strategy. Unfortunately it’s hard to do proscribed burns to “catch up” to the natural state as they are unpopular.

Policing and crime are fundamentally local concerns. The main predictor of exposure to crime or likelyhood of police encounter is zip code. Some (local) policies are more effective at crime reduction than others. Among the most famously effective is the broken windows theory of policing. The basic principle being that arresting and confining antisocial people is an effective method of maintaining social order and stability. I'm not saying these ideas are "Republican", only that they are "conservative" in the sense that we've been practicing them for milenia.

We used GitLab to track applications.

Each application was an issue. It contained the résumé and information about the applicant. We had an issue template.

Stages of the process were labels. We'd move the issue around and our discussions would be in comments on the issue. It worked for us really well.

We used GitLab for administration as well.

It's worth noting here that when 'wizeman says "enough users have DNSSEC validation enabled", he's referring to a fictitious state of "DNSSEC validation" where the clients perform full recursive validation up to the roots. No mainstream operating system does that today, so when you look at statistics about the (low but significant) percentage of DNS queries done with validation enabled, bear in mind that all of those queries are done the standard way: the stub resolver does no verification itself, and the DNS server simply communicates back to the resolver that verification was done with the `AD` bit.

Obviously, an ISP can simply flip the `AD` bit in any DNS response it wants to edit.

> There are hundreds of foreign owned and operated factories in America that are run like independent kingdoms, staffed with people from other countries with their own restaurants and dorms so the workers are never exposed to the outside world,

That doesn't make it ok, does it? What you're describing sounds a lot like the conditions that migrant workers in Qatar and Saudi Arabia are working in.

The US shouldn't tolerate such conditions for workers in factories on its soil, no matter who operates them and where the workers are from.

In fact, no country caring about human rights should. I'm from Germany and in the early Covid phase in 2020 it became clear that there are a lot of east European workers in our slaughterhouses, with them living in very tightly packed quarters (for which they had to pay exaggerated prices to their employers) leading to a massive spread of the disease. At the time, many politicians cried that something will have to change, but of course nothing happened and the whole thing was forgotten as quickly as it had come to light.
Considering the ridiculous politics here in America, I don't find the 70% statistic hard to believe. News is propaganda here, and people support terrible things all the time, so why should Russia be different?

This does make sense - they have better technical skills (because of better education - you said this yourself) and better communication skills (because of cultural context) and also in general I think better attitude and aspiration.

Amateur Finds New Images of Uranus’ Rings in 35-Year-Old Data
No, the Senna example above is not nitpickery. However if I raced with one of my friends and he crashed into a wall and then blamed it on the wall having moved and we then went and measured the wall and found him to be correct, yes he would be right but he would also be nitpicking as I doubt that either me or any of my friends have the ability to drive with millimetre precision. He would have crashed into the wall regardless of whether it had moved or not.

I was trying to use that example to highlight the fact that we don’t know the skills and perceptions of anyone who is posting on Hacker News. One person might say that the immersion is ruined because of the lack of accurate sounds when walking. To the average person that might be nitpicking. For someone who is a sound designer or a musician or someone with a generally heightened auditory sense it could be the difference between immersion and the breaking of the illusion. The same person might even be fine with the previous generation graphics if the sound was spot on. We just don’t know who is commenting on the post and we don’t know how much their internal perceptions differ to our own. To label them nitpickers, narcissists and some of the other unsavoury stuff that is being levelled in this comment section is really unfair. I feel we should try and give charitable interpretations and give everyone the benefit of doubt where possible.
> simply just live in the 21st century with all of it's stresses

All the listicles which talk about ways to replenish your energy talk about various healthy habits, and mostly psychological things which isn't possible in anyone who is struggling in this century or rich enough to delegate tasks and pass on the stressors.

If we cannot effectively replenish energy or manage our energy, I wonder where does it leave us?

And it feels like with certain healthy habits you can maximize your energy levels per day and achieving that likely means you have improved your life but beyond that there isn't much you could do to make the most of it. So eventually you comprise with yourself at some point?
For more horror: There are stories of people who were legally brain dead who woke up - see Colleen Burns, for example. She woke up just before her organs were going to be removed for donation (quite literally under the surgical lights). The hospital was also fined for inexplicably (possibly maliciously) giving off-the-record sedatives when she started to show signs of life after the diagnosis - but she managed to wake up in time anyway. (It's also why I'm not an organ donor - I'm scared I won't actually be dead, and that the hospital is perhaps not the most impartial decision maker of whether I am dead.)

I still use Sass for some projects and find it perfectly sufficient in most cases. Because of this, I don't really see moving away from it anytime soon: it feels like a nice little addition on top of CSS, that's not overbearing and most people can also get up to speed with the features that it provides.

Nesting being one of the things that I think CSS should have had out of the box, but that might change for the better eventually: https://www.w3.org/TR/css-nesting-1/

That said, various CSS component frameworks, utility class frameworks (or libraries) also seem nice, from Tailwind or maybe PrimeFlex (which feels nice with PrimeVue or PrimeReact), all the way back to aspects of that approach in Bootstrap.

Things can get a little bit messy when you mix both of the approaches a lot, though. Parts of the style are in the utility classes but for some reason you also have your own custom classes and so on, which I've seen sometimes.

Ask HN: Are there any upcoming Electric Roadsters?
I think this is a decent response but it's not completely fair.

It was obvious to me that when Google came out, it was a game changer. It wasn't obvious to everyone and I remember at least one article talking about how Google wasn't really search because it could only find what other people liked and couldn't actually understand the things it was searching (the article was old, I can't find it, sorry).

EBay was a front end for Beanie Baby sales before it became legitimate.

Yahoo before Google, much like the rest of the search engines like AltaVista, was a cesspool of irrelevant links to porn.

Amazon was great for books but being the "Sears of the internet" was a laughable idea until it wasn't.

As an aside, it was obvious to me that Wikipedia was also a game changer. I remember having many conversations with people thinking that an online encyclopedia would degrade into a radioactive comment forum with anyone and everyone saying whatever it is that they wanted, without any relation to reality.

I agree that cryptocurrency has been around for a while with not a lot of use cases to show for it but I also want to point out that until "Web 2.0" came around, the internet and online services were still very niche. It wasn't until social networking took off that it became widely adopted. It wasn't until smart phones existed and became cheap enough that everyone took the internet for granted.

You're using metrics from a previous iteration and imposing them on a new technology. Maybe it's appropriate but, in my view, it's tone deaf to what the underlying technology is.

Cryptocurrencies are, in my opinion, more akin to the early days internet infrastructure. It's lower level foundational technology that can be used for applications to be built on top of.

As a fundamental technology, it is getting widespread adoption, as can be seen by the volume and value. Real world people are using it to exchange money. We can argue about what percentage of that money is "valid" and for what purpose, but it is being used.

Again, in my opinion, we're seeing the growing pains of a new technology that has potential but hasn't been widely adopted. People have funds that are hard to move out of the cryptocurrency space so any outlet for spending within the system, like with NFTs, gets amplified.

EBay was a front end for Beanie Baby sales and the same arguments levied against cryptocurrencies could have been levied against EBay (and I suspect they almost surely were). Telling people you would order toilet paper online was laughable in 2000 and considered hype, just as saying you could order toilet paper without a bank account now.

I don't have a crystal ball, I don't know what the future holds but the visceral hate that I see against cryptocurrencies seems more rooted in emotion than in reality. I saw the same hate for start-ups mid 2000s. I'm advocating for circumspection.
People have been through it and later recovered enough functionality to write books about their experience. Surprisingly, they report feeling pretty normal and even hopeful for the most part. Most people, when hearing about this, imagine it'd be all feelings of terror and wanting to be dead. But in reality people get used to it pretty quickly and their mental world adapts.
