But that's not science. It takes a discernible reader to learn about this topic, and they should be able to distinguish between science and popular science which enjoys speculating. I think both are interesting and important in educating the public.
The behaviour seems very similar to the Astro framework.
For judging harm it's interesting how the culture and economics around a drug may chiefly determine the harm, not the substance itself. The measurable harm of different drugs varies across regions.

As far as I know.... unlike the US, the UK doesn't have a large community of dependent meth users. The level of distribution is low and if some did become available, it would probably be used by poly-drug users as an alternative/combination to other party drugs and not give much of an on-ramp to habitual use. The measurable harm would be acute health events like heart issues etc. and not the consequences of long-term use.
Had the same idea for a while, cool that you launched! I would double/triple the price though

1. Map my Caps Lock key to be an Escape key when I tap it and a Control key when I hold it down.

2. Map my Shift keys to be left and right parenthesis when I tap them and Shift keys when I hold them down.

3. Map the Tab Key to be a Tab key when I tap it and an ALT key when I hold it down.

I also set my keyboard to Dvorak.

These modifications make it much nicer to work with Emacs and VS Code with Emacs bindings.
"Vegetable oils require an industrial process of extraction - with high temperatures and hexane"

You're talking about refined oils. This method of extraction has a higher yield and is therefore less expensive. It also increases the smoke point of the oil, making it more suitable for high-temperature frying and deep frying.

While I don't know what's available to consumers where you live, solvents and other chemical treatment are not required for vegetable oil production. Seeds can be cold extracted. The result is much more expensive though.

"the output is novel to humans on evolutionary scale"

This is true for all oils and all other highly processed foods.

"they come from inedible waste which for millions of years has been discarded - seeds etc"

Seeds are not waste. Do you think bread is made from waste?

The notion of using "waste" comes from the production of refined oils. The seeds are initially pressed, resulting in oil and meal as the byproduct. The meal still contains some oil which is extracted with solvents. After the solvent treatment, the meal is used as animal food.
When I was a student and wanted to visit a cryptographic workshop in 2004, I traveled Prague to Barcelona and back for, then, some 700 eur. That was by far the cheapest option, bought months in advance.

Looking at the options now, 200 eur is very doable, although there will be extra fees for luggage. But there have been almost 20 years in between! In 2004, 700 eur must have been around the average net monthly salary in CZ; now, the average net salary is almost twice as high.

So, from a purchasing power point of view, costs of flying have gone down about 7x for a Czech person, in mere 19 years.
No. He was sacked by an anti-science government pandering to a voter block scared and hostile to liberalisation of drug laws.
Given these are fines from the card networks, the business, if it's in the right, can go to court quite readily.

Illegal processing is no joke. This isn't as much "Stripe ruining a business" as it is "a business appears to have been processing illegal activity, which puts it into liability".

To be clear, in some jurisdictions and depending on the activity, illegal processing also carries a jail sentence! The most extreme of which is, of course, terrorist financing.
> It sounds like you're making the mistake of thinking that TDD means writing the tests first.

Actually, Kent Beck, who coined the term TDD, has the following to say in his book "Test Driven Development":

"In Test-Driven Development, we
Write new code only if an automated test has failed"

This implies that in TDD the test is written first.

Regardless of any definition, test-first and test-last are just two ends of a scale we can use.

Intel i3-1215U, 16GB RAM, 240GB SSD, 4K display for €1.565,81, which is the cheapest that I could select feels a bit expensive...

A quick look on Geizhals[1], gives many alternatives, with better CPU and storage. The only thing that's probably different is the Linux aspect of the laptop.

But 240GB of storage... That's so little, even my phone (POCO X3 Pro) has 256GB and I paid around 220€ for the entire phone. For a computer 240GB just feels almost unusably small, unless if you're running ChromeOS, but that's something completely different.

I’m not sure you “don’t get to complain”, but essentially you’re reiterating my point, that I believe General Clark is wrong on this point (obviously with the caveat that I’m a guy with a keyboard and a monitor, but never seen a battlefield).

I’m from a country where we would be able to launch massive manned and unmanned aerial attacks at an enemy country. And yet I still think that we should be careful to avoid such an asymmetrical use of force.

Using aerial attacks as part of a wider strategy, fine. But if the enemy sees absolutely no possibility of winning a war conventionally, as you say “you don’t get to complain”.
The law doesn't say they have to help enforce the law. It would be the customer who's breaking the law by watching TV, not them.

Git-Repo: Man in the Middle Proxy in Rust
Seeking help for MITM proxy written in Rust

This is my first mid size project in Rust

The goal is to create a clone of the popular mitmproxy.org, for now it only intercept and show HTTP and HTTPS requests and response but I want add the possibility to modify the request and duplicate them.

The Gui is basic for now but I added dark theme and other stupid tips.

Aiming to create a high-performance and reliable solution. Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. A contribution would be seriously appreciated

if you do not want to or cannot contribute it would be very helpful to star the project, thank you very much
There are a number of reasons for this:

* Japan's access to oil is via ship, which is expected to become more difficult as China is anticipated to tighten the screws in the South China Seas even further in coming years and Russia is unlikely to offer favorable terms since Japan is aligned with the West. Japan has past trauma of being cut off from oil by America and England, so they're particularly sensitive about this.

* The Ukraine war has highlighted how fragile the world energy sources actually are, and everyone is hedging however they can.

* Japan is following the general world trend towards isolationism and nationalism that flows from a sudden decrease in stability (COVID and the Ukraine war), and although this phase will pass, it's still having an effect on decision making now.

* A declining population and economy that basically will continue doing so means that big investments make more sense now than later (even though they still won't be able to pay for it).

* The LDP has defacto ruled Japan virtually unopposed since the end of WW2, and Japanese people rarely seriously question the government's judgment beyond a bit of localized murmuring.

Japan needs energy security, and its options are very limited.
For me, I find I need both JupyterLab and the VSCode Jupyter extension. The vscode extension is superior for step-by-step debugging especially with integrated REPL console. However, I notice running cells in vscode is several magnitudes slower than executing the same cells in a JupyterLab session. Also I use several JupyterLab extensions such as citation manager, mathjax 3, etc and custom kernels utilising docker/GPUs etc. I'm not sure how to use these in vscode and also I'm not a fan of vscode's use of Katex over mathjax 3.

Yes, what people are doubting is a thing which does not match the textbook definition of science.

That was the whole thesis. I genuinely described the exersize of looking up a definition.
I think something hard when it comes to this is defining the resolution or verbosity of what you see. What i mean is that sometimes you want to see implementations etc and sometimes you want to keep something abstracted away and "debug around" it.
I feel that the "step in", "step over" controls for this are somewhat too simplistic. It would be nice for example to mark some library functions that i never want to step into.
I think debugging is great but there is still a lot of room for improvement.

Setting up an automated paywall hosting system using a third party payment provider is honestly a minefield waiting to explode. The business owner knew this:

>Over time, this set up proved risky with legal liabilities. So last year I migrated to Stripe Connect’s direct charges model where customer payments would go directly into sellers' Stripe accounts

Sadly, he thought he could keep existing users on the old scheme:

>there were still legacy sellers that depended on Flurly for their living. Thus I "grandfathered" in these accounts and let them keep using the old Flurly system

So it was just a matter of time before one of these accounts were used for selling non-compliant things or doing illegal transactions. So it's not Stripe which ruined his business as the title indicates; it was one of Flurly's customers breaching Stripe's TOS and still being linked through Flurly's Stripe account. Only logical they shut him down, a risk the owner acknowledged in this blog post.
look up "UPI" a model of payment transfer made out of india. This is currently being exported to many countries around the world. It works like magic ON TOP of existing banking infra and all you need is an app. Nothing else.

Once you see and use UPI, everything else just feels stupid like a tesla racing a horse cart
This is a way, way bigger deal for this service than Stripe. Dissecting the email Stripe sent, though, the issue is actually that a card network found them in-violation of something, and shut them down. It doesn't name the card network, but the card network assessed an illegal transaction fine, and, well, ended their credit card processing with all networks and processors.

> In addition, per card network rules, you and your business have been added to MATCH or another terminated merchant file operated by the card networks.

This is now a problem between Flurly and Visa/Mastercard/whoever decided to fine them. Stripe is really just delivering the bad news on-behalf of whichever network decided to bring the axe down. Also, obviously, being added to MATCH/TMF means that your business cannot process credit cards. Just...at all. It doesn't matter which gateway you use in this case. The same outcome would happen with Braintree or any other gateway.
That’s why Germany created a dependence on Russian oil, despite being warned by both sides of politics that this would enable Putin, at the whole of Europe’s expense, and kept sending billions to Russia for oil even after the invasion. Trying to keep within the HN guidelines and not writing how I actually feel about Germany for this.
Yeah you raise totally valid points here.

The current thinking is that the $5 tier would end up having a small set of "fair use" restrictions on it for things like max request payload, max workflow execution time, etc. Payload size is the big one, I'm less worried about execution time as the underlying engine that executes the logic is all Async & non-blocking so it's pretty efficient.

I want to have a very clear line though between the allowances that are restricted to encourage a higher price-point (workflows, node's, executions), vs the one's that are there to ensure things don't explode.

The benchmark goal would be for raw compute to equate to <10% of total revenue, which I'm confident is very achievable with some sensible restrictions that still allow 99.9% of use-cases.

At this early stage, I'd probably say that anyone who's processing 1M requests with 33kb bodies each prooobably isn't my initial target customer haha.

> Twitter is under scrutiny more now than ever. If so much as an icon doesn’t load first attempt then people can it form or broken.

It's difficult for me to point out concrete statistics to refute this because Twitter's current monitoring of disruptions/outages/whatever is fairly abysmal, and Musk has started transparently misrepresenting/lying about them. Unfortunately this means that much of the reporting/monitoring that we're getting is only second hand. But this strikes me as wishful thinking; frankly I don't believe that pre-Musk Twitter had this number of issues.

Is it possible that there's increased scrutiny, so more people are reporting problems on Down Detector? I guess, it's not impossible. But again, this gets back to what I was mentioning above -- we shouldn't have to rely on Down Detector for numbers, but we do because Twitter has basically completely abandoned self-reporting its own stats.

I can't completely disprove or dismiss the theory that users are just reporting issues more often now, but I don't think it's the most likely explanation available, and I don't see a ton of evidence to back it up -- the simpler explanation is that people are reporting more issues because there are more issues.

----

Secondly, I do think we are squabbling over words. It is still the case that if you define "outage" as a worldwide global site unavailability, the majority of the previous links listed above as evidence that this is nothing new don't quality as outages.

We've shifted from saying, "Twitter had outages in the past, this is nothing new" to "okay, the stuff happening now isn't an outage (but somehow the past events still count)", to "actually, things were much worse in the past than you remember and you just never noticed."

But... again, I just don't buy it. Look, 10 minutes of downtime is not the same thing as the private API going down across a substantial portion of the US for an entire day (at least a day, we still don't know for sure if the problem is fully fixed because, again, communication is nonexistent).

Twitter went down for an hour pre-Musk and the media reported it as the worst outage the site had suffered since 2016. Like... come on, it's obvious the site is having issues more frequently than it used to. My opinion of Musk is irrelevant to that observation, the guy could be a saint, and it's still obvious that the site is less stable.
The business even admits they took on a ton of liability by not using Stripe Connect. They switched to Connect but grandfathered old accounts.

If you’re taking liability for what your customers do, you can end up getting fines like this. Stripe doesn’t want this. It’s not like they get the money from the fine, if anything they’re on the hook for it.

So, why again is this a scam?

It's interesting that you bring up Thermal Noise...

Thermal Noise would indeed have to be considered alongside The Casimir Effect and Capacitance -- because even though Thermal Noise could be reduced by cooling -- it is unknown if it could be eliminated entirely...

If these three effects are always present alongside one another in an electronic system, most notably the metal plates of a metal plate Capacitor -- then it would seem that they are indeed related, although, I'll leave it to future Scientists to state that for a fact, and to better quantify the math of those relationships if there is one...

Thus, these phenomena should definitely be studied alongside one another...

Anyway, thank you for your excellent addition of the concept of Thermal Noise to the discussion!

Literal writing on the wall
This is an interesting take - the idea behind the pricing is to be so low that people will pay for it themselves rather than trying to get their workplace to pay for it.

The idea being that for a lot of "productivity SaaS apps", one of the biggest friction points is the pain of having to expense the subscription on a corporate card or get it reimbursed via your work - so a $5 price basically side-steps that by being cheap enough that people will just say "fuck it" and pay for it themselves because it saves them an hour a month.

I kinda have a theory that anything over $10 a month and people start to go "hmmm do I really need this?" where as less than $10 a month and people will just impulse buy.

All that being said... price is definitely something I'd experiment with once I validate there's actually real demand.
