So was Ponzi an unrecognized genius instead of a fraudster? Money is not a high score in life, and money fraudulently stolen from others even less. This American logic of "guy stole so much money he is rich, lets treat him as better than others" is completely insane, and if you believe it, you deserve to get your money stolen by the SBFs of the world.

He doesn't really shit on the pilot IMO. He clearly states that the pilot was a product of his generation and mindset and far from the only one. He clearly states it's more of a systemic failure than an individual one.

And this is only part of the many things that went wrong. Also it's important to realize the system worked as designed and in every other situation this behaviour would be beneficial. I don't think this was even changed after the accident.

As one of the other things that contributed, the pilot should never have got into this situation in the first place. Which is explained by the poor stall training focusing only on low altitude stalls (which makes sense as this is by far the most likely time for them to occur, but the difference with high altitude should of course be explained as it is being done now.

As with any major incident it's a matter of multiple errors compounding in just the worst way possible.
I would agree with you; but as technology improves we move the goalposts.

iPhones for example capture a small collection of images at the same time which are able to be replayed as a small animation (or loop) called “Live photos”.

I am certain the future will hold for us: video which allows us to pan left and right.

These both require more space.

You certainly learn to pay attention to the aerodynamics. Lots and lots and lots of high-bank turns. Many of them relatively low and close to stalling speed.

Some occasionally below stalling speed, if you're high enough to safely reduce margins so much that a gust of tailwind puts you below, which requires you to just calmly follow through with constant angle of attack, descending, rather than force the nose up.

Short-field landings in unfamiliar places, requiring judgements of both approach angle and terrain. Moderate to heavy turbulence all day, speed varying from stalling to redline. Retractable landing gear. Flaps if you want that source of mental load too, in all speed regimes. Constant consideration of wind. One shot landings. Mountain flying with constant consideration of where the safe exit is. Consideration of deteriorating weather. Always aware of nearest landing site.

It's really non-stop training in all the fundamental parts of flying, minus engine operation, airspace and ATC communication.
The APM does that for you.

Open Telemetry, Application Insights, New Relic, etc… will all stamp the request with a unique id and associate any errors with it.

1. We're discusing here floored integer division, which outputs an integer, not something more general like a real.

2. Even if we were discussing exact division, the ratio of two integers is a rational. The rationals are countable. More generally, any image of a countable set is countable, and the cartesian product of two countable sets is countable; there is no way you could get something uncountable from something like this.

3. Aleph_1 is not (necessarily) the same thing as the cardinality of the reals, which is 2^(aleph_0). The statement that these are the same is known as the continuum hypothesis and is undecideable in standard mathematics.

...and, also, none of this really relates to the complexity of performing integer division, even ignoring the fact that these statements are false.

> I think the harm of porn is heavily theoretical, while that of tobacco is not.

For adults, the harm of porn may be less obvious and harder to quantify, but it's not theoretical. There are plenty of data to support the idea that porn is harmful.

For children, we don't need data. It's just common sense, and you would be hard-pressed to find a parent who is okay with his child watching content on Porn Hub.

> Assange is living in (self-imposed, sure) exile

This is the first time I've ever seen anyone defining "being in prison" as "self-imposed exile".

Assange has been in an English prison for 4 years now. The only thing for which he was actually convicted (skipping bail during extradition proceedings) accounts for only 1 of those.
I actually think I disagree with your last sentence.

It's not that the creator can't be bothered, but that the tool unlocks features that are just not feasible for a creator. Think of Hacker News Recap for example - a 20' episode has been generated every single day for the past 122 days. That's extremely hard for a person to do. So the consistency that this enables is one feature.

Automatic translation and video generation are other features that using this method of podcast creation lead to. So it's not necessarily that the "creator can't be bothered to"... there's inherently more value in some use cases to create a podcast this way over the traditional method.
And yet, believe it or not, they still want to beat the RTO drum.
> are not willing to take a risk - be it a risk in starting to execute an idea and risk failing

I am totally willing to take that specific risk, I just need an idea to start tinkering with, that was the topic of the thread.

> or a financial risk.

That's not a risk in my book, spending your own money that you allocated for retirement and financial independence towards something else is a fool's errand.

A couple of examples of random career-related risks I took in life:

- Immigrated by myself to the US in my early 20s, with no money or family to support me, despite having a promised stable government job in my home country (with pension, etc). A lot of people in my home country told me they would have never taken that risk. Still to this day, more than a decade later, they tell me they envy the courage of that rural boy who took of for the USA.

- Left highly paid 6-figure jobs, multiple times, to join early stages startups (seed-level early), making peanuts every time. Virtually all my coworkers at the time said how crazy and risky the moves were.

> but do you consider yourself a perfectionist?

Not at all. One of my strengths is actually that I tend to be very "lazy", meaning I do the minimum amount of work to ship something that satisfies the business requirement. You won't find me going above and beyond too many times. I have no problem leaving around a lot of tech debt if it's for a good reason.

Yes, like Rainier says, a VAT would be very helpful to have as well. The US can probably get away with a little less taxation in theory due to having so many PMC high-income earners, but that would depend on the US knowing how to run government services efficiently...

My larger point is that Americans are largely under the delusion that heavily taxing the 1% would be enough, which is just not the case.

This is a response to a flagged & dead sibling comment that, while wrong, I think is worth addressing and doesn't deserve flagging:

> Special prosecutor's aren't supposed to work for the government

No, that’s literally who they work for.

> They are generally retired lawyers or judges.

Since the expiration of the law providing for independent counsels in 1999, there have been 7 special counsels appointed under DOJ regulations.

0 have been retired lawyers (all have been active lawyers in private or government practice), 0 have been past (retired or otherwise) judges, and 3 of the 7 have been sitting US Attorneys at the time appointed, and 3 of the 7 were former US Attorneys (the one that was never a US Attorney was a former state AG.)
I did read your article and did look at the other PR, but to be perfectly honest it looked a bit low-effort; the justification is simply "It just makes more sense that way", and the change looks very minor. (Which, of course I don't blame the PR author because they're not obligated to do anything, but at the same time I can't blame the maintainers as much for not merging it.)

Your PR, on the other hand, looks great! The changes look well-reasoned and well-documented, though I don't know Calculator so I can't judge the code.

But, don't be discouraged, neither by the lack of response so far, nor the criticism here. Hopefully they'll merge your PR, if not, I hope you'll find some other open source project you can contribute to, or you can start your own :)

(I should've also said the positive part in my first comment, not just the negative part, apologies.)
Whether you agree or disagree with their overall claim, do you really think that either you or they couldn't find a 6th example, and more, of failings like those 5? It seems obvious to me that they gave 5 because they're writing a HN comment not an entire book and they had to stop somewhere, not because they spent an hour searching to find as many examples as possible and couldn't get past 5; so it seems like a poor rebuttal to make the count your argument.
I don't think that's necessarily true. People said that about Blu-ray for ages, and for a while they were right but in the end the industry had people paid to keep updating keys and fixing bugs forever, and the open source world only has volunteers.

Last I checked (which was a very long time ago) the only way to rip a Blu-ray was through a commercial program.

That's probably partly because Blu-ray waned in popularity compared to streaming. Still I definitely think it's wrong to assume that Google couldn't win this battle.
Eh HN karma is not what I live for :)

Never? What then does the word “right” mean in this sentence? I thought by definition, if you have the right to do something, the authorities cannot punish you for exercising that right.

No, what’s happening here is that SBF is in pretrial custody, and when a defendant is in that situation, they lose many of their constitutional rights. Courts assume the level of control that they need to ensure a fair trial.

Outside of certain circumstances, the 1st Amendment does mean that you are free from official consequences for your speech, such that it is protected. This is why the NYT will never see government sanction for their publishing Caroline’s diary. SBF obviously has, though.

(FWIW, your comment is usually used to defend consequences imposed by other members of society, not the government)

If

A × B = C

then

log A + log B = log C

And if

D^E = F

then

E × log D = log F

Mostly a tongue in cheek comment but if you don't know log rules at all check out log tables [0]. And you'll see that if you use log values then multiplication and division become addition and subtraction and equally simply.

Relies on you either having stored the needed data or efficiently calculating logirithms and antilogirithims.

Actually, you are right. I think I either got confused with another crash or thought it was more than just the audible stall warning.

And I totally agree, there's no good solution to helping the pilots in such a catastrophic situation. They were probably going to ignore audible warnings and most visual cues anyways, considering how tunnel visioned they were from the moment the auto pilot gave back the controls to the pilots.
This reminds me of a thought I have had for a while regarding restaurant menus. I have the suspicion that the green "V" or whatever symbols used to show that a dish is vegetarian or vegan actually disincentives non-vegetarians from choosing the labelled dishes more or less subconsciously.

So, if I were to run a restaurant, I would try a different strategy. I wouldn't label which products are vegetarian on the standard menu. Instead, I would also offer a vegetarian version that only included the vegetarian dishes for whomever might want it. The standard menu would of course also include the vegetarian dishes, just not singled out.

My hypothesis is that, as a result, non-vegetarians would become more likely to order dishes that happen to be vegetarian but aren't explicitly labelled as such, rather than filtering them out of their options by default.
Show HN: Graffiti, Hyper-Local Anonymous Message Boards (No App Required)
Hello HN!

I'm Phil, the creator of Graffiti - A web-based hyper-local anonymous message board (think YikYak but with no app required and the frontend aesthetics of Craigslist). It's meant to be pretty lightweight and run on almost anything with a browser and basic location services. It's built mostly in Python and Svelte, and currently running on a small Ubuntu VM + Postgres DB.

I originally started this project to leave geo-located comments for my brother and his friends around town since we all were fans of long meandering walks. I saw some friends-of-friends leave posts as well so I started to add additional features like:

-Replies: Start your message with "@@CommentID" to get added to a thread below the parent post.

-Hashtags: Use a URL like https://graffitihere.com/#parks to see only comments including #parks.

-Distance filters: Currently Graffiti supports sorting distances between 100M and 5KM, though I'd like to build better ways to support more granular radii and other geo-based options.

-Tripcodes (optional): Use an imageboard-style tripcode to identify yourself to friends and build a reputation without having to keep the same username.

-Basic Search: Search the text of a post, username, or tripcode to filter posts.

There's plenty more to work on, and I'm really interested in what HN thinks would be useful features to prioritize next. Sometimes I get asked about toxicity and other moderation issues with a project like Graffiti. As this is fairly new project I haven't developed a robust formalized moderation framework or the tools to manage auto-removal of certain content. I think early on a few pieces work to limit the toxicity seen by any given user:

-Granular location filters (400M -> 5KM) practically limit what content you're seeing since people will have to be right nearby. I'd like to make this even more advanced in future updates. Adding better drawable bounding-boxes, rate-limiting around specific areas where toxicity may be high, etc.

-Filtering the feed based on arbitrary hashtags. For example your friends could all post under https://graffitihere.com/#123abc456 (the # auto populates in the message when accessed through that URL). You'd only see content using that hashtag, effectively limiting a majority of posts.

A few updates I hope to have soon:

-A basic reporting function

-A basic blacklist/whitelist based on keywords (this is a little tricky given no logins, but would love any ideas). I'm thinking an early safe search on/off type button could be an option to filter what is in your feed.

Most people probably won't see many posts outside major cities like Boston, New York, DC, etc. but we're always looking for new use-cases and to see how people interact with Graffiti so I encourage playing around!

Here's a simple Google slide deck with some getting started tips and tricks: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1FoXLiVXbrPOgQA08g-CE...

I'd love to hear your feedback on Graffiti! I'm happy to discuss any comments here, but feel free to send an email to GraffitiHQ@protonmail.com to chat with me directly. Thanks!

None is needed, how hard it’s for a bank handing over physical tokens to the customers when they open an account or mailing them to existing ones?

- You can loose them? Sure, just like any smartphone or even government ID, but the process after to replace is what will make you careful next time.

- They can be stolen? Same as above

- They can be used in banks or even for online banking, just tap it with your NFC enabled phone (yubico is an example)

- They can be used by someone else? Sure, just like your phone.

- However, no sim-swap attacks or similar, so in theory it’s better given no negligence from the users which is always the biggest risk anyway, but overall it’s an improvement.

>and also would not impede a lawful (and for the purposes of this conversation: ethically necessary) police wiretap.

Why would the police wiretap a banking verification, they can wiretap the transaction at the banks if they are legally authorized.
Or he's just a narcissist and because everyone has told him he's the smartest person in the world, he has no appreciation of the limits of his knowledge and at this point he simply can't see it.
The problem is this is also a myopic way of looking at things. What you should be looking at is also operational complexity. What's the current burden on your org/team maintaining what you currently have? What about when you need to scale even higher?

A lot of teams that think this way end up with really high oncall burdens and then never have the time to even iterate on their infrastructure.

The whitepaper actually says that 28% of Japan is over 65.

Maybe 75% is a misunderstanding of the "Old-age dependency ratios 1950-2050 in the 19 countries of study" chart. That shows that in 2050 Japan will have 74.32 people over 65 for every 100 people between 15-64.

> Safari has been slow to adopt new web-standards, especially when they begin to tread on the toes of Apple's App Store (PWAs, WebUSB, etc).

Many of those are not "new web standards". Those are Chrome-only non-standards, and Firefox agrees with Safari on most of them.

As for PWAs, there's no such thing as a single PWA standard, and Safari has supported the vast majority of the PWA standards for years (but if you point that out, the goalposts of what constitutes a PWA shift faster than superheated plasma).

You don’t convince, you avoid that risk completely by not using GSM as the medium of identity verification, just regulate an identity verification mechanism for banks and such, and don’t mandate it for the users so they are free to choose or opt-out.

Some random thoughts on a complex topic:

Why do you want to open source your project? Is there a business reason? There should be, even if you're an open source advocate. You could also choose to donate money you made to a project, volunteer, etc.

Who is going to use the open source version of you software?

As for the license, non-commercial always rubs me the wrong way. Whatever you do, just don't pretend that is open source. Trying to get good PR or community contributions for something that only you can profit from under the guise of open source is super sleazy. I think if you're going that route it's better to just make it freemium and not even bother releasing the source.

That aside, the license really depends on your strategy. Start with what you are trying to achieve, concretely, not "sharing with the community".

You could also consider open-core.
