He also presents his math, related to cost per user in terms of revenue and reddits proposed API cost is 20x average reveneue per user in any similar business model plan.

Now I get not every platform users spend the same, and notoriously Apple users can be charged more (see doordash and uber being caught with charging more to those users). I however doubt that reddit users, notoriously hard to monetise, are somehow 20x more valuable than any other user in any other social media that is ad revenue based...

Whether you believe the apollo cretaor on his imgur pricing, or you beieve him or not on any other part of his post. The numbers very much point towards malicious pricing. And they are, in so far as they are presented, indefensible.

No...? Science is just a tool to resolve disagreements in conclusions about observations. It is a pretty effective tool if your personal philosophy believes reality is objective (externally defined) and shared.

It's not the only tool available though. You could also use other tools like coercion, intimidation, violence, negotiation, etc. to also arrive at a single conclusion. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
"You can pay for transactions of a security with that same security, therefore it is not a security"? I don't think that's how it works.
Not just simple counterexamples (i.e. programming "bugs"), some theorem provers have systematic bugs that were discovered later and required programming language change because people building it weren't sure how to fix it, mathematically speaking.

For example, in Agda, there are two ways to create coinductive types. The most liberal and useful one uses a technique called "Sized Types". Sized Types are types where you annotate each type with a compile type upperbound "size" which allows compiler to prove a given coinductive computation on this object will terminate. You can image a conductive list "List T i" where "i" is a "Size Type". Ultimately, the compiler implements this using a mix of lazy evaluation and bookkeeping upperbounds using natural numbers.

Originally, this was part of the "safe" subset of the language. Meaning, you can write Agda code using Sized Types, and Agda compiler claims the subset of the language you use is sound. This means you cannot prove inconsistencies. Here comes this "bug" which showed otherwise: https://github.com/agda/agda/issues/1201 Since 2015 Agda developers have been working on ways to mitigate this problem. Finding no such solution, they eventually decided in May 2021 to remove Sized Types from the "safe" subset of the language: https://github.com/agda/agda/pull/5354
Chrome and Chromium are the same dev team. Open source doesn't mean that they'll accept any pull request. It was implemented in Chromium, as an experimental feature, and then removed.

4. Surreal cost burden at every junction of the productive process (cheapest car in Brazil for example is USD 15000, which is the same price as the cheapest car in the US)
5. Zero customer loyalty, people jump from service to service to obtain a 0.01% discount
Definitions don't matter. The definition is whatever the dictionary says it is. Which is, in turn, the lexicographer's best understanding of how people used the word at the time. None of it has any bearing on what you really want to know.

What you really want to know is that there is a longstanding tension between speech as pure, value-neutral information with no physical effects, and the large number of cases where speech does have a real-world effect. These conflicts aren't easily resolved, and aren't helped by simplistic, absolutist approaches.

Don't expect any solution to be uncontroversial. Don't expect any solution to make you happy. Starting from there, we can ask: what is a state that we can all live with, that offers the maximum freedom to every person -- with the understanding that it won't be absolute freedom for the same reason that your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins. And despite words not being the same as a punch in the nose, they do have real-world effects.
Photoshop still can't open webp files, many websites still don't support uploading webp files. Do you not see how its annoying to drag a file out of Google image searches, see the extension is .jpg.webp then have to convert it back into jpeg to edit thus adding a 3rd layer of compression artifacts to the image.

Allegations of drug use, lax vetting of nurses and a stumbling business encircle CareRev, a hospital-staffing startup that raised $100 million during the pandemic. Last week, CEO Will Patterson resigned after inquiries from The Information.
This is an awesome project!

Library/archive/historical-preservation people these days, for a while now, generally don't use "scanners" to digitize historical printed/2D material images, but ordinary high-quality digital cameras, set on tripods, often downward-facing, and manual page-turning.

There is various plans for DIY rigs for such on the internet, for instance here: https://www.diybookscanner.org/.

(although that site seems to be unmaintained with many broken links, it has enough working links you should be able to get the idea. This was a much more popular hobbyist DIY thing a decade+ ago, in the era of dawn of google books etc).

I wonder if there were particular reasons OP went with a "scanner". it seems a lot of the challenge was finding an affordable scanner that could handle the material. Perhaps it ends up being much (much) faster per-page, especially if you are willing to destroy the original, and is so justified? (Even though they ended up having to do manual page feed, possibly still much faster?) Or if they just didn't think of camera-tripod-manually-turned-pages and know it was a (common) option? If it hasn't been considered, it might be worth considering, although the process they have seems to be working well -- the sample output is stunning!
Not if you’re on the verge of a heart attack. Also slightly more controversially, I think very vigorous/taxing sport (like marathons) could do more harm than good. Like a u shaped distribution where moderate exercise is the sweet spot.
Here's a video where Crockford mentions Rebol (and others) being an influence on JSON - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-C-JoyNuQJs&t=1233s

I've seen it mentioned on Rebol chatter that Crockford approached Carl Sassenrath (creator of Rebol) to open-source & use Rebol prior to creating JSON. So having a Javascript literal wasn't on Crockford's mind at that point.

NB. Rebol was closed sourced until 2012.

Swift support brings broader mobile application security to GitHub Advanced SEC
Nice idea but I would be worried about tearing.

I don’t know what the actual paper weight is but it looks in the “bible paper and cheap newsprint” range (~40-60gsm), which will probably rip as soon as a belt/orbital sander crosses the glue line into the looser leaves (and you have to cross the glue line to debind, and by nature that line isn’t normally straight, because glue does not melt evenly). You also destroy the spine, making it harder to identify issues at a glance.

A thermal binding machine would likely melt the glue in 45-90 seconds without those risks. And you might even be able to rebind after the scan with fresh glue strips using the same machine, assuming you don’t have to cut the cover wrap.

Criticize it, sure. But when you have millions of people potentially riled up, the cards are in your hand. Or at least, you have a decent hand.

Nobody really "likes" reddit. They tolerate it. I don't care about reddit the corporation. I like the user generated content there. Since reddit sucks and does things like gatekeep people from viewing their site without mobile app, and other annoying things like that, these app developers should just try to turn those users onto a new reddit-like platform.

I would love to see reddit shaken up from its position as a place for people to have discussions on topics where the comments can be on a wide spectrum. It used to be fun, and it can be again.

But it needs a Napoleon.
According to the comments directly below the linked comment, Safari is actually adding support...

Not to mention the fact that coinbase is a public company, so the SEC allowed them to go public while having a full understanding of their business - an endorsement of what they're doing if you will, yet today it's suddenly illegal. How does this reflect on the SEC?
While the UI was part of it, a big reason people didn't like it was that corporations had their own accounts and were posting directly in the feeds. That's something that integrated into reddit Reddit a number of years ago, first as ads and now also directly in subreddits, and even longer if you count AMAs or obvious astroturfing.

Tangentially related, just yesterday a rideshare company got into hot water for posting support on reddit where they used the persons real name instead of their username.
I don’t know man. I feel like it’s pretty self evident why folks would not want to have 20 different logins for 20 different websites so that they can get information for all of their hobbies, professional questions, travel, etc.

As someone in the film industry, I lean very heavily DVXuser, Cinema5D, and Gear Source. Three different sites with three different cultures and ways of doing things. I really like them and they are great resources, but frankly, I find myself on Reddit most of the time anyway because it’s just easier to get the information I need from a variety of communities all in one spot.
We do already have an example of Apple using aluminium for a wearable device that's traditionally made of plastic - the AirPods Max. It's well known for being significantly heavier than the competition, they weren't able to reduce the volume of material enough to offset how much heavier it is.
Sounds like a scam to me
You're increasing your attack surface for critical infrastructure for many

By that logic, Chrome shouldn't ever add any new features. WebP is also an additional attack surface.
Basically I'm just not gonna wear it (the goggles) I know... UGH I know ... I'm sorry! It's just that I'm not gonna wear it is all hahaha
Does the quest 2 do it at all? I was under the impression that it only has low-ish resolution IR (or possibly monochrome) cameras, I don't think it ever pretended to be an AR/MR device. The cameras were for controller detection, and passthrough mode was only added because it could be (and that was better than nothing).
Couple claims bear fitted with camera illegally spied on them
What if they shift screens mechanically in response to eye movement? Similar like apple camera optical stabilization works by shifting slightly camera sensor array? And if the screen pixel density is not uniform but more dense in the center? Hard to pull off but I guess not impossible.
Patience is a well-measured response.

Well, sorry you think that. I wrote the product exactly because I was tired of hitting browser limitations in previous projects, but the alternatives were too difficult and so people would sometimes just give up rather than tackle the deployment problem.

This thread is about people upset about browser limitations, something that's trivial to fix when not writing web apps - just add libjxl into your app and use it.

So that's why it seems relevant to me. Yes, it doesn't help if what you're doing has to be a web page, but often there's a choice.
First give police the right to kill with impunity, then introduce pervasive surveillance as a feature that makes them kill less. Nothing can go wrong
You're misleading with comparison to WebP - the image format all browser vendors supported (including Chrome, Mozilla, Safari and Microsoft) that competes with JPEG XL is AVIF.
I like this guys content generally, but it's worth noting in this instance he's unknowingly echo-ing free-market libertarian dogma.

> You might hear comments from time to time about studies showing Dvorak is "no better than QWERTY," or words to that effect. All such comments that I've heard seem to echo an article, "The Fable of the Keys," by S. J. Liebowitz and Stephen E. Margolis, published in the Journal of Law & Economics, vol. XXXIII (April 1990).

> Note the word "economics." Liebowitz and Margolis are economists opposed to an "excessive inertia" theory, for which QWERTY is often cited as an example. Rather than try to prove their point with a generally valid argument, they simply attack Dvorak as a dubious replacement for QWERTY. As the article's last footnote explains, there are a number of other possible reasons for Dvorak's failure to replace QWERTY, besides a perceived lack of value. The article ignores those reasons, however, and perpetrates that false perception in a nicely self-fulfilling way.

Somehow I find the fact this is coming from an Intelligence officer, that has testified before Congress under oath, and is now calling for whistleblower protection, more convincing than a random hack that is trying to sell a book.

But obviously, the fact that he might be acting in good faith does not mean that he is right, there are plenty of possible reasons why he could be wrong or have been lied to, since he doesn't seem to have first hand knowledge but only hearsay or indirect knowledge from other people or documents.

Hopefully, they're will be some sort of investigations based on what he is claiming. From what I understand he would have been allowed to provide specific names or document to Congress, so that should be pretty straightforward to check if everything is made up or not.

Otherwise, we will see soon enough when his book is coming out.
You're right. I misread the list of errors as exhaustive.

That's me, graduate of a life science department at MD, microbiology not medical biology. Guess what, I always wanted to do research. Definitely didn't want to be a doctor, especially if a someone like, well, you, ended up being my patient.

That makes three anecdotes to counter your assertion. You gonna pay up or move the goalposts a little more?
Doesn't this just show that the "easy 4 question test" is not sufficient?

Or is that largely considered a mistake in interpretation nowadays?
I'm just still surprised that Apple made a heavy-duty massive VR/AR product instead of something more like Google Glass - something lightweight and fashionable as a peripheral for your phone just for showing notifications and turn-by-turn directions and other kind of status updates -- an Apple Watch for your face.

This is the part I don't understand. How does cryptocurrency make it easier to coordinate people than all the other tools we have to coordinate people?

Coinbase, and Coinbase's pool(s). As you cite, "using validator nodes operated and maintained by Coinbase". Coinbase and the staking users are engaged in a common enterprise for mutual profit.
Oh, yeah, without actually having read freakonomics, that looked very out of place ;)
The author is both barking mad and performing a very important service. Ephemera like the Comouter Shopper will be valuable to some historians in the future, and by its very nature this is something that needs to be preserved while it’s just an amusement.

the author is also self aware (cf the Byte episode) which is unusual.

I am fascinated that the computer shopper never made the transition to the web. They could have been the ur-vertical site. This shows how pernicious path dependence is.

The old good non-compliant taunting
"For a futurist or visionary, Web3 is all about how Tim Berners-Lee's original concept of a semantic Web has evolved from being read-only to now read-write and soon read-write-trust-verify."

The entire point of having a blockchain is to not trust, but rather to verify independently -- these terms are contradictory to one another. In other words, removing single points of failure and control is the mission. While many projects are moving farther from these ideals, recent ongoings in the U.S with the SEC will cause the industry to hearken back to our roots as cypherpunks: the reason we began the fight for privacy and the freedom to transact in the first place. Blockchains introduce the notion of digital ownership in such a way that we need NOT be forced to rely on third parties to verify the state of the chain. Accordingly, I would amend the statement to say "read-write-own". We're not "just adding to the web", we're immortalizing our culture and ideals too.
Be that as it may, it's less readable than the other ones, to me
Invest?

I think investing in crypto is purely based on greater fool theory.

Doesn't mean there aren't any legitimate uses for cryptocurrency, let alone the blockchain technology.

In this sense, why should Coinbase and a currency exchange booth in some airport be considered any different? Of course, Coinbase doesn't quite operate statelessly like that, and to me that's the issue here.
I would prefer in the people "protecting the public from violence" didn't get seminars called Killology where they talk about how good the sex is after you shoot someone.
Stability AI's Clipdrop Launches Reimagine XL
It's not humor in general that's disliked, it's seeing the same few dozen tired references that it's seen as normal to repeat ad nauseum on more social media type sites like reddit.

That said, Office Space is my favorite movie so don't take it personally, mmkay? Yeahh, that'd be great.
It's not about having to learn to read. The example the parent poster was making was you already know how to read, but one day find that every book you pick up is filled with nonsense rather than real words. Eventually to stop bothering to try to read anything. That's what they were describing as 'learned helplessness'.

The new paper seems to just re-word it as 'learned loss of control'. I don't see the huge difference. Just because the default state on most things is helplessness doesn't mean you cannot learn to fall back into helplessness again. But if the new wording helps with constructing treatment plans for mental health issues, sounds fine enough to me.

That could change in a second if another agency like the SEC decides it's something else. There is nothing to say that two agencies couldn't hold conflicting positions over what BTC is or isn't.
Duly noted on using more assertive language! I appreciate the advice :)
Viam looks really cool! We didn't know about it.

On making Seam more open, it's definitely not off the table. We'll have to balance this with device manufacturers' general preference to have "somebody they can call" if/when their servers get pounded. Admittedly, we've also been focused on making sure Seam becomes a sustainable business. Spending time open sourcing our stuff, making it runable elsewhere...etc takes time away from making sure we get to "default alive" quickly.
Tipping in cash is a good idea, when practical.

Another thought is to leave bad reviews on places like google maps and yelp. If you're already going to avoid them over it, it's only reasonable to communicate it so they know why they're losing business. My only concern would be to try to direct the brunt of the bad reviews to larger businesses, at least at first.
I don't think there's a truly safe programming language. When I was an undergraduate talking to somebody at the C. S. department (I was not a C. S. student, but I talked with many C. S. students) somebody there said that the risk of segfaults in C and Java, when the program approaches hundreds of kloc, are about equal. It's only in small, ungeneralizable programs where Java's GC guarantees safety.

Some people know how to manage memory and others don't. If you know how to manage memory, even C is a safe language. If you don't, not even the most formally-verified garbage-collected language can save you.

It's a C++ library that Google needs to secure and maintain security patches forever. If there's any bug in that library, it's Chrome and Google that will get blasted and blamed by rabid news media and HNers - so people here are essentially demanding that private company supports and patches their library for ever and ever. Once released, it's pretty much impossible to rollback support for media formats on the web.

Behaving like there's no cost in such maintenance is just whack.
> Apple seems to be the only company that's able to do this on a consistent basis with physical electronics. (video games, cars, construction projects achieve this in their field, but consumer electronics seems to completely lack this, barring Apple)

It's funny watching the interactions between tech reviewers and (usually Shenzhen-based) consumer-electronics startups — think earbuds, "retro consoles", etc.

Almost inevitably, the reviewer gradually develops domain knowledge from reviewing dozens of entrants into the space that allow them to say exactly what would make for a good device. Then one of the startups invites the reviewer to collaborate on a product design with them. The model that the reviewer had design input on becomes wildly successful, because it actually does some stuff right. And then, as soon as the reviewer is gone, everything the company makes goes right back to having the same obvious flaws. As if they're constitutionally incapable of learning what made their one good product succeed in the market and just replicating it.
