Beaver dams and ponds are generally about a meter deep. That is deep enough that your field isnt a field, your road is impassible, and your house is now an island. They actively want to create ponds. You can fight the process, you can drain the ponds even and destroy the dams, but it is an uphill struggle.
Speaking of "not understanding free speech", in America (where Meta is) free speech exclusively refers to our Bill of Rights and the limitation on government to unfairly suppress your speech, specifically your political speech.

It is completely unrelated to a private citizen interacting with a private business in the eyes of American law, American business and Americans ourselves. The only free speech issue here from our perspective is "Is the government illegally restricting Meta's corporate right to free speech?" And no, making Meta identify a user is not a violation of their 1A free speech rights to us.

If you're speaking of a totally different European legal concept, it might be helpful for you to identify that.
These deal descriptions may be the ideal origin, but this is not how 90% of coins are dealt with today. Hard not to assume deliberate deceit from those claiming otherwise.
That is exactly what I intended to say.

Everyone thought the 4 minute mile was impossible, until it was done, and then everyone started doing it. Had Roger Bannister had a cardiac arrest and evacuated on himself, people would have stopped trying for it.

>The article uses struggly words like sociopaths and losers, but defines them very differently from common use, often the 'losers' have the most fulfilling and rounded lives, i.e. true winners

They're "losers" from the point of view of capitalism and corporate hierarchy. If you're not committing your life to ruthlessly climb the ladder to grasp at wealth and power by any means and you don't buy into the game or its rules, you're basically a defective cog, a useless part of the machine.

If you're unaware that success is a rigged lottery designed to find and promote sociopaths and actually believe that reward comes with hard work, determination and passion, you're clueless. A mark. A rube. If you're smart enough, with enough abuse you'll eventually wake up and become a loser.
Subpoenas are not a legal instrument in Europe. Europe also uses civil law, not common law, so there's no criminal, civil divide like there is in the US.

In Europe, police usually have a right to request information from companies and people. This is codifed into law, there's not necessarily any legal procedure for how it needs to happen.

There are some standards on how inter-country information is requested.

Show HN: Bloc-them, start JavaScript UI creation in 15 Minutes
Hi All,

Introducing `bloc-them`,a tiny (but mighty) JS UI library. Its based on `Business Logic Components` design pattern and hence the name 'bloc-them`.

A moderate JS developer can learn it in very short span of time: I belive it should be in 15 Minutes up and running.

Ther are only two Classes in whole framework:
`Bloc` and `ListenerWidget`.

`Bloc` publishes new states and `ListenerWidget` react to such states.
The complete 15 Minute tutorial is on the GitHub readMe.
This is just patently false and betrays a complete ignorance of how the cryptocurrencies work.

How can beaver dams be considered good for the environment but man-made dams get so much resistance despite producing some of the cleanest energy and reducing carbon emissions?

Surely humans know how to design/divert waterways better than a beaver.
This position is a slippery slope to a world where true anonymity is made illegal. Your confusion is more subtle and arguably more dangerous: that anonymity can make certain illegal actions easier does not mean that anonymity should not exist.

This notion of security is stale. Real security is far more complex than this, requiring automated provisioning and logging. This is more suitable for a VPS or a personal VM than anything professional. Also installing acl just to use setfacl bothered me.

No.

First, why in the world do you want Meta to get into a habit of ignoring the law of the land?

Second, fines for non-compliance to court orders are not one off events. The fine is set with the purpose of compelling action. If the action doesn't happen, higher fines will follow.
Just making a bet does not really spend the money, it will just change hands, presumably from the less informed to the more informed, who should be able to eventually spend it more wisely. As far as forcing the outcome, if it turns out to be possible, but the market got it all wrong, there is your incentive to give it a shot regardless.
Please note that this official guide is more than 6 years old. It means a large parts of its content is obsolete.

For instance the chapter on web servers is far from today's best practices. It only mentions Apache http (nowadays Nginx is much more widespread), gives an advice about a default configuration which is no more default, and mentions a path that has changed in recent Debian installs. Even considering its age, the quality of this chapter is dubious: it forgets important points, like disabling .htaccess and directory listing, removing unused modules...

Modern tools are obviously missing from this guide: apparmor (though it was in use in 2017), nftables, systemd (unit settings that prevent /home access, prevent privilege escalation, etc)...

There are many different types of stones, and techniques for shaping them became progressively more sophisticated over time.

With instruction, it would probably take you less than an hour to learn how to make the types of simple chopping stones that human ancestors used 1 million years ago. However, it takes much more considerable time and skill to learn how to make the types of stone tools humans were using 100k years ago. You get the sense that each group of ancient humans probably had an old expert toolmaker who passed on the trade to the next generation.

How do we know that? Slander is something you can sue another person for in just about anywhere(?) and there is nothing in the article about what was actually said.

In this case the (allegedly) injured party doesn't even know who to sue (besides Facebook I guess..) does that seem entirely reasonable to you?
Apples and oranges.

The Twitter user is pseudonymous at best, and was posting objectively true data, publicly available, regarding a notable, public person in these United States.

Conversely, the tape-type high temperature superconductors are generally made with a colloidal deposition process - which is based on a powder as a starter material.

Assuming this is real, that would be the obvious process by which to try and build useful conductors and magnets - it also suggests a refinement process (passing it over a magnet would quantum lock superconducting grains and let the rest slide off).

1: I can't say how much time I will have for Conduit, but I think the project is in a good shape and I think it can reach a stable release without me working full time on it, but of course it will take longer.

2: I think a good way to start is to hang around in the Conduit Matrix room and see if any issues pop up. Often these are relatively simple things like "these logs should have more details" and are a good way to get started.

In my opinion we are facing the crash of programming gold rush, especially in web development. The only exception is AI (especially LLMs). For a long time, software development was greatly overhyped as a way to make money, with no shortage of self-proclaimed tech leads selling training on how to pass the FAANG interview and common whinings about supposed developer shortage. What goes up must come down. Right now, the market is correcting itself, as the rivers of VC funding for the WeWorks of the the world are running dry under the changing macro-economic conditions.

Web will still exist for a long time and people will keep making money in software development, but things are changing. Easy money is going away, which makes us face the ever-present matter of actually creating the value for the world that was so easy to forget when money was pretty much growing on the branches of Merkle trees.
Are there any prediction markets where you can bet money on this?

I thought people talked only about Moneyfold, which is just a game. (You cannot take money out of it, although you can use it to make a charity donation.)

I suspect that people on actual real money market would make different predictions to Manifold.
I think if the CEO of the company has material non-public information and is trading based on it, then there is a 100% chance the SEC, which is already looking closely at the company, will come down hard on him, including disgorgement and massive fines, and even potentially working with the DOJ to file criminal charges and put him in prison—all of which they're dying to do in their effort to assert their authority over cryptocurrency, as Brian Armstrong is acutely aware if he has any attorneys worth half a damn.

So I believe he very probably does not currently have any material non-public information, or at the very least is not trading on the basis of having it.

This comment thread is frustrating to read. You said:

>You seem to think that geniuses are made by their upbringing.

From the comment you are replying to:

>There's absolutely a genetic component, and they are born that way, but in the wrong environment, they fail to launch.

You seem more focused on disagreeing than on actually engaging with the point being made which is that "no discernible environmental or cultural factors at play" (your words) isn't strictly true, because (your words) "a genius can be destroyed by his environment."
Would rather not share on this account, but if you're interested in software that does this, have a look at ExaFMM for a highly performant implementation.
Note that it's possible to configure multi-factor authentication using e.g. one-time password (OTP) for those regular openssh logins. The setup to achieve that still seem quite involved though, so the reluctant sysadmin in me haven't got around to try it.

Multiple factors:

1FA: Password(1F) OR private key (password blank)(1F)

2FA: Private key(1F) with password(2F)

MFA: Private key(1F), w/ password(2F) AND OTP(3F)

There are a lot of illegal things you can do without being found out, and victims have no recourse then either. Should everyone be under surveillance 100% of the time just in case?
"The environment" is a really big subject. It's like saying "How can chemotherapy be considered bad when it actually helps cure cancer?" You can see how in this statement things are confusing because chemotherapy is very dangerous and harmful, but in a bigger picture, it's very helpful and life-saving.

A man-made dam is good for the global environment when it offsets coal burning. A man-made dam is terrible for the local ecosystem when it completely obliterates the local ecosystem by putting it underwater. It also has much more surface area for evaporation than rivers leading to water loss. They also promote extreme anerobic bacteria compared to rivers causing dramatic increase in greenhouse gas production in the water. Dams also prevent rivers from delivering silt, nutrients, and other things that help Ocean ecosystems including reducing the oceans ability to sink carbon. They also can contribute to earthquakes. Finally, once they fall into disrepair, they become a huge dangerous hazard and most countries do not want to pay to maintain and decommission.

So is a dam good or bad? It becomes a question of the net benefit. For the chemotherapy, we say that there is a net positive benefit. For man-made dams, there is a current debate and I won't say what I think.

And finally Beaver dams are often considered good because they are not large-scale. They don't flood a whole region, they just slowly turn a small area into a wetland. They slow down fast-moving streams, reduce erosion, provide buffers against storm surges and help control flooding. Beavers can be a keystone species and a healthy beaver population has a dramatically positive effect on the local ecosystem.
There seems to be a trend on HN to assume every country in Europe has the same laws. Confusingly, most of these comments come from people living in European countries.

Excellent observation. The single-threaded effort dominating AI today (i.e. the base assumption that OpenAI can scale GPT up as it is today into AGI) is what's causing the bottleneck.

Assuming AGI can be built as 1 system is assuming that mind is separate from body, which is the old dualist idea we've outgrown in our own awareness, but somehow not when it comes to AI. We've been growing AI in that direction at https://www.aolabs.ai/

From what I've gathered, the ingredients of LK99 are common but cooking the right way is difficult. Supposedly the team itself only gets it right 1 time in 10.

There have also been a lot of complaints that the patents and papers are missing info you'd want to have when reproducing. So that's making it even harder to reproduce. The upshot tho is that the discoverers seem to be available for tips by email.

All in all were going to have to wait more than a few days for reproduction it seems.

That kinda lends credence to the notion that the post really was just libel. If it was true and more than just a one sentence diatribe then the plaintiff wouldn't have needed to bring Meta into this suit. I don't really see what they would possibly get out of this unless they really had no idea who this was that posted about them.
Just to add to this. If the anonymous post was made on a group, the group administrators could still see it. So it's only anonymous for the rest of the (non-admin) group members.

I doubt the table is representative of actual replication efforts going on, as according to some tweets, suppliers everywhere are out of precursors due to a large amount of orders. I would guess that there are many labs that started trying to replicate as a side-project with an attitude of "if it replicates we'll go public, if not, we don't, as we don't want to spend a lot of efforts on retries".

Based on that trying to connect that to wider cultural innovation trends seems quite far-fetched.
It's tricky though. My father is now almost 80, and it's getting too much for him to monitor and control them. What happens to the land when he can't?

There is, unfortunately a perception of nature being a naturally-balancing system. But it's really not. It's dynamic, constantly changing, and beavers can be a real chaos wildcard, creating outcomes that can modify hundreds, even thousands, of acres of land.
Export the free speech is a red herring. The underlying issue is whether an aggrieved party can compel certain kinds of discovery to respond to libel (which has never been perfected speech). Prime were just able to be libelous with impunity because … the interwebs…
