I run a company that cracks passwords for people that have lost the passwords to their crypto wallets.

Since the early days in Bitcoin people have been talking about backing up their private keys, and the methods of doing that have become simpler and simpler. Yet we talk to people every day that didn't realize that they can't just "contact Bitcoin" and ask them to reset their password.

Some platforms for creating "secure" backups of wallets apparently had back doors built in (BitcoinPaperWallet dot com I'm looking at you!)

A non-trivial portion of the population (based on my personal experience) is struggling with mental health issues and true analytical weaknesses that make it really hard for them to understand what's happening, or correctly recall what did happen.

Is all of that really compatible with moving secrets into the background (instead of remembering passwords)?
Even if a legitimate compatibility issue only happens 1x a week, once it becomes that frequent for sites to not work in firefox you have to wonder if that's the reason every time a site doesn't work properly, which gets annoying and wastes more time.
Ruby does not have a switch statement; it has a case expression (which can be used in a statement).
I disagree with the bit about it being "high quality writing," virtually every example I've seen is word salad at worst and dialectical nonsense at best.

If your standard is "that looks like a sentence" then sure, it's largely okay. But if your standard is "communicates a concept" then we're still a long way off.
true for most of calc and a lot of electrical. Institutions failed to discuss why you need to do things. so much of it is here is Taylor Series or integration by parts. but nobody really knew what the application for this stuff was. just follow some rules and plug in some numbers.
Okay, I can share a DVD with my friends or neighbours, but I can't share my account? How does this make any sense?
What a weird comment. The ozone hole WAS a huge problem… and then the world banned CFCs and we fixed it. But it took years of lawsuits, journalism, and scientists speaking up.

Similarly, global warming is a huge problem today and threatens our future. We will fix it just like we did the ozone hole, but again it will take decades of lawsuits, science, public outcry.

The problem this time is twofold: the rise of conspiracy theorists in the Republican Party, who refuse to even acknowledge the problem, and the stranglehold that globalist neoliberal corporations have on the economy.

The second being what you meant in your last paragraph. It’s hard to actually address waste, overconsumption, and pollution when our economy and government is controlled by a handful of corps, who are getting better and better at greenwashing.
For such a historied site it's maintained great quality, very admirable.
Netflix had first mover advantage, but that ship has sailed. Their only real moat now is their original content, but when stacked against Disney or HBO it's a pretty weak moat.

This is why I don't pay for Netflix anymore. They cancel every show I enjoy. No other service treats their fans worse than Netflix.
MS also puts micro-transactions on their 1st party titles, plus their 1st party titles have not been so great since the Xbox 360 days. Halo is a shade of what it was for example.

You're right, but I think you're conflating arguments.

Meat eaters should be proud to wear leather, eat byproduct, etc. Anything else would be waste, and it's shameful to act as you describe.

But vegans want all of it to stop. There's nothing to waste to the animal isn't killed. Well, until it does naturally. There's nothing to waste if the animal isn't born though. And it wouldn't be born if we didn't have a culture of harvesting their bodies.
Maybe I am misinterpreting the tone, but this is an incongruous belief. Nothing about a chaotic system precludes a *trend* in that system. I think it is quite objectively clear that while extremely chaotic, the trend of recent human impact on the earth is an equally extreme destruction of natural habitats.
Chipotlaway can take care of the bloodstains, if not the fear and remorse.
Mr. Corman was tough to see cancelled but that show was hard to watch. It was scarily depressing and I while I think some people say they want a show like that, I don’t think it pulled the viewership numbers to keep it on air.
First Republic shares hit record low after report says govt will not intervene
My question is always: why did they sell? I suppose a small company is usually private, so it can't be a target of a hostile takeover.

The owners likely saw it as a better deal financially. Sad but usually true.

I like the idea of "meat" and "milk" startups, like cow breeds; "meat" companies are created to grow fast and be sold (and usually butchered), and "milk" companies are kept more stable and independent, to fulfill their purpose, not (just) in hopes of a purely financial gain.
Wait isn't that exactly what's happening where you live? Cruise and Waymo are putting passengers in cars without drivers in the driver seat, and there is no shortage of well-reported situations where those cars have caused issues in the city—blocking roads, crashing into buses, etc.

(Also, I don't believe Waze is operating self driving vehicles, but I am charitably understanding that you likely mean Waymo & Cruise.)
Thank you so much Vaidehi :)
That is then opposite of what I find appealing. Every community I have ever been a part of on the internet has only gotten worse and eventually unacceptably bad by growing too large.

I also don't like the convergence of online identifies with real identifies in communities which also tends to ruin the point of an online community for me.

So having different groups for different purposes is precisely what I do want and having every human on Earth on one platform is the exact opposite of what I would want.

I don't know. I'm happy paying $12/yr ($1/mo) for an account. If operation costs are half that, a few thousand users can make a nice side gig hosting this.

Why does everything need to scale exponentially or it is doomed? Federation avoids the "winner take all" trap.

I don't know if Mastodon is going to grow or if something else (Bluesky?) will replace it, or if we'll just all stay on Twitter.

But it doesn't seem to me like it's doomed.

Why do you think that Bluesky will be able to do what Mastodon can't?

> If the merging parties were to ignore the CMA's decision they could face significant legal and financial consequences. For example, the CMA could fine the companies, force them to unwind the merger, or take legal action to enforce its decision. Additionally, ignoring the CMA's decision could damage the companies' reputation and relationships with UK customers, regulators, and stakeholders.
That's one example. Look at the medians. I mean, this is HN not Reddit. We should be looking at the data.
I moved us up from 2.4 to 2.7 last year trivially. Basically just changing the version base in our dockerfile. A few gems had to go up too, to support the kwargs changes. But like... 1 day of work.

Ill never forget the comment of my grandmother, a life-long surgical nurse to one of the top neurosurgeons in California.

My daughter was opening the fridge and eating handfuls of butter when she was tall enough to do so (abt 3 years old)

I called my grandmother and asked her about this

She said to me :

"let her do it, the brain needs fats to grow"

my daughter is smart as heck. She is 18 now and is wicked smart.

Also we benefit from the Norwegian gut biom... we can handle any lactose.

I think that gut biome transfers are actually a new genre of biomedical science... (recall the ulcer guy? he proved that ulcers were a bad bacteria.)

I really think that we should pursue gut biome treatments
I tried Notion about a month ago, and at first it looked very good. I copied over materials for a book I was writing and liked the idea of one environment for research materials and manuscript artifacts. Bottom line: Notion had horrible support for creating a PDF for a book project. This is perhaps simply not their market?

Which is a very different situation to "blast out the photo to 1000 instances".

But even then, not all of them fetch and cache media on receipt of a status (e.g. mine don't) and they're not fetching them at the same time according to my logs.

You may well still end up serving 1000 copies of the photo (or even more if people aren't caching) but it's 100% not "blast out the photo to 1000 instances when you post" - it's much gentler.
You can share the password to all 8 Billion people on earth, but not the DVD.

Geez
The acronyms and names are basically irrelevant to the point, though :)

If anything, having "outdated" acronyms and names may actually make the message stronger - because you don't need to be distracted by what they "are", you can just accept they exist[ed] :)

I am still baffled they even made W11. I really thought Windows10 was going to turn into like... Windows. As in, they just keep updating it- why the hell do we need more versions!
> But back in the 2000', a lot of "social network" were IRC server/channel and forums. And they were often small and meant for a specific community/hobby/interest.

I was never a heavy IRC user, but yeah back in the 00s, especially the earlier two-thirds, I had several different forums on my browser hotbar that I’d make the rounds through a couple of times each day.

Kind of miss that honestly, each forum was its own unique beast with an entirely different set of personalities without also being polarized. Contrast that to modern social networks which have a samey grey-paste quality unless one seeks out highly polarized services, which are often too caustic to spend time in without risking becoming similarly caustic yourself.

He makes a lot of claims he doesn’t substantiate or source in the course of his argument about his issue with the way the stats are reported.

“It’s also true that drivers are more likely to engage Autopilot in easy driving conditions — clear roads with no construction and nice weather.”

Is it? That doesn’t jive with my personal experience and how I use it.

He also claims that if users don’t intervene FSD will surely crash. This also strikes me as not really true most take overs in my experience are because the car is being overlying cautious or annoying in some way that isn’t dangerous.

He claims that people that buy Teslas are old and wealthy which skews the data since they are naturally safer drivers but doesn’t cite any source showing that is true. Teslas cost about the average of a new US vehicle. Another thing that was maybe true 5-10 years ago but no longer.

If he had wanted to write a neutral point of view article about how he would like to see the self driving industry report safely stats that would be worthwhile but this just seems to be ragging on what one company is doing when everyone else doesn’t report this stuff at all and there isn’t an acceptable industry standard yet. Like do we have statistics from GM’s Cruise self driving unit, or Google Waymo?

My comments about the car being great were more directed at the others in this thread ragging them.

There is nothing "free market" about the crazy copyright regulations we have today.
I'm not saying that it's the case for you, but a lot of time I've seen that this actually means "engineers aren't able/willing to talk with management to justify the value of maintainance and make a concrete proposal of how to go about it".

But then again, some other times management just sucks.

I found that to be one of the drawbacks of Netflix, and all other streaming services. A story that could easily be told in 100min or a few hours takes 10+ hours to slog through. Excessive sequences of characters getting high, or repeating tasks, or irrelevant side quests to pad the content time statistics, or make people feel like their monthly fees are worth it.

> We would build multiple layers of fuel oxidizer, and then, we would get a run long enough up to really do something. We’d get a really exciting event. I deemed it “pre-unplanned disassembly” at the time. That problem really went away when we learned a little bit about fuel control and kept injectors and propellant temperatures a little warmer.
NYTimes used to be like this, but last time I looked they had fixed it. Making unsubscribing hard is just such a slimy dark pattern. Immediately creates anger and hatred from users. I guess someone has demonstrated math that shows it is more profitable in some cases, but it is still disgusting.

Native German speaker here. My partner is a native English speaker and I was about to recommend this to her.

However, it looks like a lot of this is auto generated/translated, making it sound unnatural or sometimes just wrong.

For example:

I looked at this example story [1] and the practice question is slightly bad grammar. It should be "Wer ging im Wald spazieren?", not "Wer ging spazieren im Wald?".

Or: "Sie lachten und hatten eine gute Zeit [...]" --> This seems like a bad translation of "had a good time", which doesn't translate directly to German like this.

Would definitely not recommend this overall.

Mostly I've been a huge fan and think I learn a lot, but occasionally his explanation doesn't click with me. One example is his Fourier series where I want to think about a change of basis and multiplying an input signal by "reference" functions, but his explanation is more about circles spinning on circles.
I improved mine significantly by just cutting out processed foods. Almost everything I eat is made from whole ingredients, and no artificial or "diet" anything. I'm in much better shape, both mentally and physically, because of it. It also helps with portion control, since I'm getting the maximum amount of nutrients from my food, so I don't "feel hungry later".
Now that is a problem. But people have suggested workable solutions and hopefully at some point, the Mastodon authors will pull their heads out of their hole and get on with implementing something. I wouldn't hold my breath, mind.

1. Maybe losing an ability to imitate, but never fully.

2. Parrotting, monkeying, copying, trying to be similar to somebody in some sence. Mirror neurons drive this behaviour.
Almost all of them are very different audiences, even mediums. Network effect is obviously an important part of a social media site, even if it’s not completely all-or-nothing.

Mastodon's is decentralized, why would you monotize it?
I hate the idea of Gamepass because I saw it happen to cable television.

In the 1980s, for instance, MTV really showed music videos. It got bought by old fogey Sumner Redstone who decided unilaterally that we couldn't see music videos anymore -- funny now that we have YouTube it's been discovered that people want to watch music videos when they can. (A bit of destruction like Musk buying Twitter?)

If you buy a game you are voting with your dollar, if you subscribe they're going to make an Assassin's Creed game this year, and next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. The game industry is going to make whatever games it wants to make, and Microsoft will pay them, and I guess people will play them because they don't have a choice. We saw that with cable, since they get paid whether or not you watch, they can skimp on quality and collect increasing payments year after year. The movie and TV industry has been driven mad by streaming because suddenly performance matters... Disney is completely capable of producing a product that upholds it's brand but why do it when you can get $7 a month from every cable subscriber for ESPN whether or not they watch sports?

I feel like there is a certain level of cynicism and/or irony in much of western media that is not as present in Asian shows (I think this is a big part of anime's popularity). Strangely while over acting and over dramatization is a mainstay of SK and Japanese shows they somehow they feel more authentic, I think that is because the writers voice feels less edited in many ways. Anyway I hope the growing popularity of foreign shows leads to western media taking time to reassess what people are looking for in shows.
Indeed.

I have around 80 followers in the Fediverse. (I have a “locked” profile which means I manually approve follow requests, mostly to keep trolls and bots away.) That’s not a very impressive number. It still is quite enough though‚ I don’t complain about the current level of interaction. Quality beats quantity.

Unlike Facebook, none of my relatives or middle school buddies are there – and to me that’s a good thing. To me, Facebook is way too large-scale for posting casual status updates.
You can’t test self driving tech the same way you can test most safety technology. It is easy to test something like an airbag. You throw dummies in the seats and run the car into a wall. There is no equivalent for self driving tech. The tech needs to be able to handle any weird situation that humans and nature throw at it. You therefore need a huge number or interactions, billions of miles worth, to be confident in its safety. You can’t just put a car through a test track to see if it is safe. The range of situations the technology needs to be able to respond to is too large to fully test like this.

It is a perfectly valid policy to want that proof ahead of time. I’m just pointing out that this requirement would effectively kill development of this technology for the foreseeable future.
