In the conservative/liberal spectrum of the US, the Democratic party is left-leaning centrist. There is no mainstream "liberal" party in the US.

But aside from that, what I also mean is that the Democratic party has members from all across the political spectrum. There are even extremely conservative Democrats. So, however you define "liberal", it is not accurate to consider "democrat" and "liberal" as being essentially synonymous.
Consider a human child. We are born objectively helpless. Over time, we develop bodily strength and (ideally) learn correct ways of relating to reality. This is effectively rooted in humility, which is not false modesty as we commonly seem to think, but a habit or disposition of assimilating the truth and conforming ourselves to it. (The opposing vice is pride which is a rebellion against truths that we don't like; the result is alienation from reality and delusion and, therefore, objective helplessness.) Conformity with the truth is a prerequisite of prudence (the ability to be able to discern our true good in any given situation), which is a prerequisite of justice (constancy of will in giving everyone their due), which is a prerequisite of fortitude (the ability to remain steadfast in the pursuit of the good in the face of fear), which is a prerequisite of temperance (the moderation of desire in light of our nature and thus objective good).

The point? That we need to learn and acquire virtue to attain self-mastery which is true freedom. (Note the "self". It is not about controlling or dominating others.) There is no one so helpless as someone who is a slave to his passions.

It’s really weird. When growing up I used to read about old, mostly disappeared systems as curiosities. Now, I’ve actually grown up with such curiosities…
Many of the integrations you'll see in Home Assistant are reversed-engineered. Usually this is done by looking at the mobile apps of many of these devices and extracting credentials, certs...etc. A few manufacturers don't love this for various reasons and try to shut it down. We end up spending time explaining to them why it will just result in a cat-and-mouse game and hurts them in the long-run.

On Seam being open source, we've debated this back and forth internally, especially given most of us came from various OSS projects. Tbh, there's already a ton of options for open sourced integrations. When/where we see one that's lacking, we may contribute ours back...etc. fwiw I don't think it's a done deal that we won't fully open source more of our infra down the line. We'll see.

Ransomware is easier thanks to crypto, but it doesn't exist only because of crypto. It predates crypto.

"But the early ransomware attacks long predate cryptocurrency – the first recorded is thought to have taken place in 1989..."

"Without the existence of cryptocurrencies, ransomware would still be a big problem, says Nick Biasini, head of outreach at Cisco Talos. “If you go way back and start at the beginning of ransomware before it became the pervasive issue that it is today, it was actually not based on cryptocurrencies. The payment system was designed around gift cards or various other types of payment cards that you could operate.”[1]

"The first known attack was initiated in 1989 by Joseph Popp, PhD, an AIDS researcher, who carried out the attack by distributing 20,000 floppy disks to AIDS researchers spanning more than 90 countries, claiming that the disks contained a program that analyzed an individual’s risk of acquiring AIDS through the use of a questionnaire. However, the disk also contained a malware program that initially remained dormant in computers, only activating after a computer was powered on 90 times. After the 90-start threshold was reached, the malware displayed a message demanding a payment of $189 and another $378 for a software lease. This ransomware attack became known as the AIDS Trojan, or the PC Cyborg."

Frankly I think anything crypto-related is very unpleasant to discuss on HN (by the way why is this site called HN? Why not just "American tech news"?)

Any sign of damage done to crypto industry is met with fierce jubilation you could only compare to comments on fresh Ukrainian casualties in some Z channel in Telegram. There is zero interest in understanding the specifics. The most embarrassing, pedestrian, knuckle-dragging cases against privacy, straight out of Four Horsemen of Infocalypse, are trotted out (same as we're increasingly seeing wrt putative risks from AI; oh no, power too great for peasants to handle, we need regulation!).

I understand the extreme seediness of crypto and affiliated organizations, the intrinsic association with crime, obnoxious promotion, NFT era, SBF nonsense and more. But the degree of intellectual bankruptcy in HN discourse is at least equally repulsive and strongly suggests that there's a lot of jealousy underneath all this schadenfreude and pretense of indignation.

I think the world should have some slack. It should be hackable. There must be a crack in everything, because systems of power go bad over time. If Americans have such complete religious faith in their system, that is their choice. They attempt to enforce extraterritoriality of their regulation a bit too often, though, and they are moving in lockstep with other major hubs of power.

Crypto has enabled me to survive and escape a bad place, at least once. It allows people in countries less functional than "the West" live with a modicum of dignity, as is sometimes discussed – and met with incurious "scrutiny" to the tune of "BBC article or didn't happen" – here [1] [2]. It would be a shame if in another decade the idea that you, a regular citizen of the world without any special authority, could remotely transmit value to other people completely at your own discretion and in complete privacy (so long as you follow certain rules), without say-so of appointees of Washington or Brussels or Beijing, becomes as absurd as going outside without an always-on tracker device.

Yet this is still what crypto is about.

I'm aware, I'm just pointing out luna is a coin. It's a bit hard to assimilate it to business entities running unregistered financial products on the US soil.
My understanding is that Celsius or any lender that gets exposed to a token value collapsing can quickly get itself in serious muds since loans have a collateral, and in crypto those are often crypto tokens. Anyhow that's my recollection of what happened to Celsius, i could be wrong.

I don't think the problem the SEC is invoking is "dangerous" investments. I'm not sure who would be entitled to make the difference.

You could stake eth and that would be one of the safest positions to take in the crypto space. Actually anybody can, whether the SEC sees it as OK, via centralised exchanges for those who can access them or decentralized exchanges for those who can't. But then of course eth could drop 95% in value by next year and the yield would mean nothing to compensate. It could go the other way and go the other way.

Does it make it a dangerous product? A security illegal to trade without a license which the SEC wouldn't grant a license to offer as a product to anyone? Because it's dangerous or because it's a security having drastic volatility? More volatile than Gamespot shares not so long ago? Does it make gamespot so dangerous it should be banned from trading as a security? And one last one, what is more dangerous, owning eth tokens staked for long term returns, or some treasury bonds issued by a country that is systematically on the verge of defaulting on its unbearable debt?

And who's to say? I don't think the SEC has any legitimacy left to be taken seriously, it let SBF runs business inside and outside the US soil for years, embezzling well over 10B dollars, whether he is innocent or an idiot crook the ridicule crown goes to the SEC for not having seen anything suspect until after the empire entirely collapsed.

About having flimsy memories, it's OK but it discounts serious weight throwing incorrect facts when attacking a type of trading activity as a whole. Your argument did read like because so many collapsed, the whole thing must be flagged as a failure. Anyhow, coinbase, kraken, binance, gemini, kucoin and many others have been operating for years just fine, and are successful, profitable businesses to this day despite all the obstacles regulators and the press threw at them.

Anyhow back to the main point, I'm with you earn products if unregistered are non compliant with regulations, so the SEC can have its case and continue to pretend it's doing its job.
Ok, but how does that help me if I'm trying to google something and don't even know this discord server exists?

No, but I'd guess that GP feels morally justified in buying weed from him or selling weed to him.

Oh man as a non fe person this is so overwhelming. I just got the hang of page based routing in nextjs and I still feel like I am walking on eggshells. Frankly all I want is TO render a next/jsx page into a jinja style template that I can render with backend of choice (golang) while leaving some ajax loading on the page when needed. I don't need my entire application to be a single page (don't get me started on understanding routing). May be that's why I can't appreciate consumer apps.
Oh! I'm so sorry I was not clear enough! I was not trying to link the two. So to borrow a framework from another field, medicine, every medication (solution to a problem) must clear thresholds for both efficacy (benefits) and safety (downsides/drawbacks). The parent comment's analysis of police drones considers only one of the two, efficacy/benefits, and ignores the problems it could or would cause. As a counterexample, I provided one other - unrelated! - example of where looking only at efficacy does not yield the correct answer. Thanks for asking, I'm sure it was very unclear!

I think Apple might stumble over the same things as Meta and other AR/VR headset companies. The big issue for consumers is product differentiation. Put simply: How is the experience of using this product any different than another product that they already use?

Fundamentally, these companies have to show how their product is a) unique and b) useful in a way that differentiates the headset from using a laptop or a tablet or a smartphone. I think all of them are great at marketing point a but seriously struggle with point b. Getting widespread adoption, in any way, requires moving beyond novelty factor and into serious impact on how people work or go about their lives. Apple seems to be really focusing on domestic, 'casual' applications, or 'knowledge work' style arrangements, like meetings or co-operative creative work. I don't think people will find much benefit in that outside of their normal desktop workstations. AR in warehouse or construction or more labour intensive situations or (unfortunately) military applications is actually where I think something like these headsets could be more successful. Cheaper devices do have an advantage in that respect, so long as the tech matches the user need. To summarize my point, I think we're still a good decade or more away from the point when these headsets reach anything near moderate adoption. At some point the cheap devices, the amazing tech, and the clear use-case will converge; but I don't think we're there yet.
What learning would require a tablet? If you want them to read something online, print it out. If you are teaching them a skill that requires a computer, that would be best done on a desktop machine in a dedicated computer room.
Psychedelics are not for everyone. Specially people, who thinks too much, must avoid it.
The problem with Meta is far deeper than a few corporate heads or what they control - the customer just straight up does not trust them. Privacy is something they've never really been good with (remember, they were at the center of the Cambridge Analytica scandal) and whenever they've been asked to do any form of moderation, Metas name always gets dragged through the mud (regardless on if you think they screwed up or not, this is about how this affected their PR).

It doesn't matter how much money
they dump into VR - unless they either get to brand it fully away from Facebook or do some serious PR repairing, their VR efforts won't work out. Privacy is a big thing and for Facebook/Meta, that is the one name even most average users will recognize as "do not trust" when it comes to their privacy related matters.

Note that this only really goes for the Facebook and Meta brand names because Meta spend a lot of time promoting the rename of Facebook to Meta, so it inherited all that distrust. It doesn't go for Instagram or WhatsApp.
A couple of years ago, I probably would have argued with you but now I'm 100% on board with the approach described in this article.

> Unlike Baltimore’s aircraft, Brookhaven’s machines won’t fly unless an emergency is reported. Their cameras won’t film, or even point down, until they are at the scene. All footage is destroyed after 30 days unless it is being used in a criminal investigation or for training purposes, and all the flight logs are public.

IMO, this is a completely reasonable approach that provides a pathway for better engagement, less ambiguity and a more authoritative perspective than bystander recordings that may be selectively edited for clicks. Body cameras are great, but they miss perspective of watching the officers.
So it seems to me very clearly that the Yu Gi Oh franchise and people having cards in mint condition with a view to resell tnem have "horizontal commonality" or "vertical commonality” with its show which is promoting them.

The buyers are depending on the efforts of others (the show producers and promoters) to make their cards worth more.
Can you name the app?
That emphasized sentence is key. Pessimistically, it could mean that password managers can ‘save’ only to the Apple OS passkey store, acting as an intermediary transport, without being able to provide cross-platform vendor-agnostic sharing.
There's a limited number of seats in any stadium and the demand today is far bigger than the offer. Besides being very hard to find tickets, a lot of fans with money live far away from the cities where the game is being played, and some of them (lots of them, actually) live in other countries.

People don't go to the game solely to watch the game. They go because of the atmosphere, the status of being able to afford the tickets, and the excitement. The VR experience even if a lot more immersive than watching on TV, would never be the same, people would still buy seats as they always did.
Maybe... it's also entirely possible this will go the way of Google glass.
That's exactly what I'm thinking. SLR's and camcorders were always big bulky things that covered your face when using them.

This isn't much different from that.
This exactly. In my view, Meta was hyper-focused on having their own App Store. They missed the boat on having one for smartphones and tablets, so VR was their only reasonable choice.

Everything else about the platform was secondary: just get a cheap device into people's homes as fast as possible.

The Oculus Quest is cheap enough to be a dust gatherer where many families never plan to purchase the 2.0 product (see also: Nintendo Wii).
While it’s not a 1:1 replacement, I have to agree this is the most likely alternative for niche communities to live. It’s already common for certain subreddits to have a discord server and direct users there.
A couple of quick optimizations:

- If weights are repeated, you only need to specify the last unique one

- You can chain filters using a comma

- You can drop that last point in the curve

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf tmix=frames=36:weights="1",curves=all='0/0 0.05/1' output.mp4
Our experience is completely different then I guess?

Size changes but sweaty? Yes, you can even grab scuba glasses and humidity and heat will build up normally even if you stand in a living room. Strapped? Obviously. Makes you absent from the place you are at? AR can fix that I hope, but the feeling of being "somewhere else" is absolutely, completely there. A person can't just interact with you while you are using VR, you are in a different space in terms of interaction.

I've used VR dozens of times and all of these look like completely legitimate concerns.
If you are so convinced, you should find a way to test your theory around Yu Gi Oh in court. Regarding crypto exchanges, we will get our answers soon enough. The majority of people, crypto still is not mainstream, is better served sticking with the existing rules and regulations. And definitions, how do I hate this J. Peterson / Ben Shapiro debate technic of never coming to the point and dragging everything down to pseudo-intelectuall pedantry.
