There are lots of things that get lost when you are forced into a single dimension.

There is a HUGE gain, and that's the fact that it forces the community to agree on what an upvote or downvote means, at least it should.

It has often been unclear to me why things get voted the way they do. Splitting votes into many dimensions might fix that.

You are very woefully misunderstanding the source of the outrage.

It's Elon's hypocrisy. He made tons of noise about being a free-speech absolutist, but is now banning people that disagree with him.

Anybody on the right should be just as angry, but they're not because the hypocrisy benefits them.

Yes, this.. plus, I wasn't sure which would come up first.

I really liked the idea of the F150 Lightning, and I liked the idea of a not-Tesla quality cabin, but I wasn't sure if I could do the size of the F150, and I also figured if the F150 took two years to deliver, I could live with a Tesla for 2 years, sell it, get the Lightning, etc. I also wasn't sure if I was going to be living in SF, east east bay, or Tahoe.

But even with that, I'm not paying $85K+ for a forced-upgrade F150 when I really wanted the $70K version that they said they would sell. I had even called my local Ford dealership and they affirmed they would be selling the Lightnings at sticker, no dealer add-ons/surcharges.
I feel like currently nuclear power is like early space flight. It works, it is fairly safe, but super expensive and very bespoke. NASA cost+ model comes to mind.

What we need is SpaceX for nuclear, maybe without Musk's volatile narcissism. It seems like the business of building nukes, challenging as it is, is eminently doable, just bogged down by a plethora of processes not optimised for viability.

As much as solar and wind are nice, people who live in sunny windy places seem to struggle to imagine a north European winter with no sunshine or wind, and massive energy requirements. Good job we have vapourware
There are multiple email providers. There are multiple phone providers. You want to argue this is a duopoly? Ok. But it is demonstrably not a monopoly.
Claiming he was unguarded conveniently ignores some very relevant details. Like the fact MLK was guarded by a contingent of black Memphis policemen every time he visited Memphis. On the visit he was murdered, those policemen were pulled from that guard duty for reasons never explained.

There’s a very good podcast, The MLK Files, investigating the conspiracy surrounding his killing - one of those black policemen was interviewed on the podcast, along with many other people.

Some other inconvenient facts about his assassination are the facts that the rifle claimed to be used in the killing is physically incapable of firing the bullet that killed MLK, a fact recorded in the FBI ballistics report along with a note that the gun should never be re-tested.

The other interesting fact is the man convicted of the killing adamantly denies pulling the trigger, but acknowledges being part of the conspiracy- which is why he pled guilty. Prior to the killing he escaped from jail, and was provided a fake US passport by other conspirators to help him smuggle items from Canada to the US.

And this is only scratching the surface, there is so much more documented information on the killing, like the relationship between Hoover’s #2 and his known relationship with the Dixie Mafia that dominated Memphis at the time.

Since you seem to have a familiarity with Jowers, I’d encourage you to listen to the podcast. Jowers testimony is discussed, but it is far from the only piece of evidence examined. It’s not even the main evidence cited, there are a lot of other witnesses whose testimony was never examined or who were threatened into silence.

> That said, I find the definition of conservatism quoted by the OP insightful: "Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Insightful? I found it a straw man. I've long found left vs right to do more with personality traits. Tribalism is not reserved for either side.

On the right, people are more likely to be conservative as they prefer stability and what is known. Those on the left are not as conservative, as they prefer openness and unpredictability.

Both perspectives have merits.
This is really scary. I've always been a big fan of Google's products despite their issues, and losing an account would probably be 100x worse than losing all important documents at once.

Unfortunately there's no real alternative to Google with full parity, aside from other proprietary platforms that have major downsides like Apple's high cost and incompatibility.

There are open source voice assistants, but not every service supports them. And the things the do support might not have whatever crazy optimization Google does to make Keep load instantly from the widget.

There are other email providers, but few free ones I would trust more than Google, small companies disappear all the time, and Google has a relatively good record of avoiding data breaches.

Nobody except Google provides the APIs Android apps use, probably 60% of the usefulness of my phone would go away without their services, I would guess.

Chrome could be taken over by the FOSS community if need be, although they have a habit of ripping out features so you might as well just use FF.

There's alternatives for finding lost phones and recording location history... but what's the battery life like, and do they have the ability to remote lock a phone?

I'm not sure how anyone would get away from Google without losing a lot. It doesn't seem like anyone but Apple has anywhere near that kind of integration platform.

And the FOSS community seems to have little interest in duplicating the things that make Google what it is.

Google provides dozens of minor conveniences that would be questionably worth it if you had to set them up individually, and definitely not worth it if they were even slightly worse implemented.

It's extra concerning since a Pixel is high on my list for my next phone.

Signal and Threema are proprietary, in that the protocol they speak is vendor-specific and not openly standardised. You are literally locked to that system, and neither of them allow 3rd party clients to connect.

Moreover, Threema's server is closed-source and so completely proprietary - and you could argue that Signal's server is often closed-source too, given years occasionally go by without public code releases.

This is the rationale.

That doesn't support the claim that Trump's orders were not followed.

It was Trump's decision, but after being advised on it, he changed his mind. This is very much not saying that Trump's orders were not followed.

> This is why I don't understand nuclear power advocates:

For one thing, it's 2022, not 1952. We have vastly better knowledge and engineering expertise to build safer, better, more efficient, less "polluting" (for some definition of the word) reactors.

FWIW, this week in the cold snap in the UK, we've relied on good old fossil fuel and... nuclear, because the wind isn't blowing and the Sun isn't shining.

https://gridwatch.co.uk/

Also, being old enough to have lived through the press-hysteria of Chernobyl: "we're all going to die or have babies with 3 arms", we ended up with maybe 4000 deaths over 50 years, and an area now rich with wildlife. And that's an uncontrolled nuclear accident.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaths_due_to_the_Chernobyl_di...

Compare that to the number of people that die through coal mine accidents a year and air pollution and so on. Then there's oil slicks killing wildlife, rig accidents, pipelines hundreds, if not thousands of miles long and so on. Or natural gas, with explosions and so on. Plus all the carbon emissions for transporting millions upon millions of tons of the stuff.

The world wide number of deaths due to nuclear in its entire history adds up to less deaths than there are probably in a typical week for fossil fuels (deaths mining, transporting, building, and deaths to the general population breathing it in, and let's add deaths from climate change in there, since that's literally what fossil fuels have caused).

I'd go further and say the deaths worldwide per day directly (accidents) or indirectly (climate change + pollution) due to fossil fuel usage is more than all deaths ever due to nuclear in its history.

I live near a nuclear power station, and I'm comfortable with that. In fact, where I live, there's approximately 1.5m living within 30 miles, and just beyond that... London.

On balance, I'd take a fleet of new nuclear power stations over the absolute disaster that is fossil fuels and the days there's no sun or wind.

Back to: 'oh but what about waste?'

Bury it, with signs. If we've gotten too stupid to read in 500 years, we're likely too stupid to know how to dig down several thousand feet, and are probably banging rocks together and saying 'ug' to each other. It's really not a problem. I can't recall the last time someone stupidly went into an _existing_ nuclear waste dump anywhere in the world and then died. And if they have it's, what, 1 person out of 7 billion.

> Nuclear power is the posterchild for the flaws in public-private partnerships ("PPPs"). These simply shift profits to private industry and liabilities to governments. That's it. Don't believe me? Example [1]:

Well, of course. Because, built in the right way, you use nuclear reactors to breed weapons grade fuel. So governments are always involved. In turn this means that governments never let market forces, and hence private companies build competing nuclear reactors which would drive down costs because the government won't step out of the way. The UK pretty much had a choice of EDF or EDF to build a new nuclear reactor.
No.

These are major events and I might want to discuss with the HN crowd. I want to see how this unfolds good or bad and there are lessons to be learned. If you are bothered by it you can just scroll past anything about Tesla/Twitter/SpaceX/Musk?

I get 0 dopamine from learning that Twitter is banning journalists.
The joke we had was AWS has better support, Google had better products, and MS had better sales.
You put up a strawman. u/roughly didn't say Musk "has" to do anything; merely that it is pathetic that of all the options of how to spend one's mortal existence as a hundred-thousand-millionaire with two successful, boundary pushing businesses, posting low-level tripe on a social network you have paid half your fortune for and decimated in a matter of weeks is a poor way to go about it.

In other words, for you to "strongly disagree", it would seem you think it is not sad at all that Musk is engaged in tweeting superficial culture war memes dozens of times a day.
So what is phase? From dabbling with waveforms in audio editors, sampling, and later learning a little bit about complex numbers, phase seems eventually equivalent to what would sound like changing pitch, modulating the frequency of a periodic signal.

The simplest demonstration of it is the doppler shift. But it's not at all that simple because moving relative to the source the sound pressure and thus the perceived loudness also change, distorting the wave form, thereby introducing resonant frequencies. Now imagine that the transducer is always moving, eg. a plucked string.

The ideal harmonic pendulum swings periodically, only losing attenuation. But the resonant transducer picks up reflections of its own signal, like coupled pendulums, which are intractable according to the three body problem.

On top of that, our hearing is fine tuned to voices and qualities of noise.
It's become really obvious that you're allowed to do that if you're hating on Musk/conservatives.

And it's really obvious why, too: https://i.imgur.com/taGzsZP.jpg

The same app, built by a TechBro vs. a NiceGuy: how personality shapes our work
A decade ago, mobile apps were the big thing. Android was version 2.3 and absolutely everyone had an app idea.

Remember the mobile app called "Yo"? You could send push notifications saying 'Yo' to people, and they could simply send you back a notification saying 'Yo'.
It was incredibly simple and put some light on creating new fun ways to communicate. This app gained some momentum, the guy even got seed funding... It was reported that the creator immediately considered putting ads from companies like Dominos pizza so that these companies could eventually send you a Yo...
The interface was dead simple - Snapchat like... It was just about saying Yo. I'm not sure what happened to it.

A decade later, I built the same mobile app, but with a very different belief in mind.
I had left my home country and migrated to Vancouver in Canada by myself. The first few years were all about calling, chatting and sending pictures to my childhood friends and family. I was aware I had to actively stay in touch with them and try to be present in their lives.
Using apps like Instagram and WhatsApp was fine, but didn't really make me feel closer to them.

This realization led me to build HeyyThere, my take on the idea of sending people notifications. But I observed how my personality shaped the product very differently.
The whole UI was built around feeling close, and gathering people in circles around you, keeping them a touch away, and instead of sending a 'Yo', the notification said "I'm thinking of you right now".

I also decided to limit to 13 the number of contacts you can add, to really focus on the special people in your life.

I realize all these are very personal choices, and highlight how similar ideas may have different executions.
In comparison, and if it launched today, I think the Yo app could feel very Tech Bro-ish, and surely find it's niche of such users, at the risk of HeyyThere seeming too emotional or gooey.

Do you think an angle is better than another? Should sending notifications be opinionated?
I'll leave it up to you to make your own opinion of HeyyThere.
IPFS is an open network. Putting it on there would be like putting it on a public FTP server, which would be way simpler

Look at your local police or fire department. Imagine if they were private companies. You need to buy the necessary equipment, pay the salaries of the staff, fire the board of directors, and cut out the shareholders.

If you spend time in their issues, or try to contribute via issues, a pattern emerges; Microsoft as a corp entity has an iron grip on the development and progress. It's open source only in that you can fork freely. UX and DX improvements are routinely shut down by MS employees, MS employees have a deep, deep sense of ownership and tend to respond defensively, repo maintainers are exclusively MS employees (I'm welcome to be wrong here, I couldn't find any that weren't), platitudes are common responses to issues for legitimate improvement, any comparison to Atom or any other editor is summarily shut down after "good faith" discussion, and development and improvements are beholden to the Microsoft development and release cycle.

Now I'll admit I'm fairly cynical wrt VS Code and have a negative view of the team that runs and owns VS Code, and by extension VS Code itself as a product due to the myriad of Microsoft-esc UX and DX forced upon the user. There's a great product in there but Microsoft is a horrible steward.
emacs packages is basically the same UX, tho perhaps there are more packages a given person might want for a language. really most packages don't need much config for base functionality.

So time to play the same old game: does block chain provide any value here that a separate centralized DB doesn't?

Let's see, can't you solve the exact same problem by simply having a centralized organization have a database of digital content ownership? Essentially a title record DB? Seems like it.

And how does your blockchain solution solve the problem of someone is hacking the game and needs to be banned? Can the EA ban them or do hackers get to stay for good because it's on the blockchain? And if EA can ban them at their discretion then how did the block chain solve anything here?

And so yet again someone appears to have thrown out "blockchain" when it provides zero value at all towards a solution.

Please anytime anyone proposes blockchain, please explain how it is in any way better than a separate centralized DB in your proposed use case.
