None of the universities with in a 100 mi of me have their own shuttle busses, they all utilize the local City Owned public buses they do not have their own bus network. they might rent some during a sporting event but it not "public transport" it would be ticketed event holders... Further almost if not all of the universities are "public" and should be consider quasi government as they have their own police dept's, and are heavily subsidized by the government

>>shuttles to industrial parks, megachurch parking shuttles, theme park transit.

none of these are public transportation, they may be "mass transportation" but they are not generally open to the general public, they are for the use of people going to or in those private properties, further most do not even travel on the public road system or pickup from "public" places, they are moving people from parking lots to entrances.

I thought it was measuring grid intensity in a different sense, like high/low demand for energy. (Sometimes, the grid has high demand for electricity, and other times the demand is lower, maybe even such that wholesale electricity prices are negative.)

Now that I think about it, I'm wondering whether Google could change electricity prices by e.g. flipping a switch on YouTube H.264 availability in a particular region...
Whether 1 should be a prime number or not wasn't clear-cut for centuries.

Current consensus has settled on excluding 1 from the definition, but there are examples of publications well into the 20th century that still included 1 as prime.

Have you ever marketed anything?

If you ever do, I hope you have an unlimited budget and time horizon to make your ideas work.

Not everything needs a “serious” usecase.
I suppose I don’t understand why you couldn’t build an integration with n8n solely with generic webhooks vs having to bring a copy of their software into your stack. You didn’t need a copy of Zapier to integrate with Zapier (although you mentioned it was a clunky integration, I’m sure the Zapier folks would be interested in feedback on how to improve there).

It sounds like n8n needs to offer a library under a different license to smooth this integration issue? Correct me if I’m wrong there.

Email in profile if you’d rather have the convo there. I’m very interested in smoothing the integration story for all workflow providers, and I misunderstood your use case that you were trying to bring the entire software app in to support your integration.

If talking about costs bothers you, just think of it in terms of time efficiency. We have a limited number of humans and time available to clean up the planet. What's the most effective way to use them?

This isn't.
In my opinion it is best not to share anything. You want that your customers think things are going great (so they have more assurance on your survival chances) and you want that your potential competitors think you are in a very lousy business. You cannot do both if you share your numbers publicly.
Really cool video and I appreciate the deft editing hand on the different zooms and perspectives so we could see the most interesting details. My only critique would be that the sounds (especially the water slosh sounds) were a little distracting. The heartbeat was cool to indicate when the pulsing emerged and I guess the underwater sound was trying to set an atmosphere, but mostly I would have preferred to simply appreciate the video for what it was. Props to the maker regardless!

I suspect the people who are looking for jobs (and based on a recent AskHN about whether people were finding jobs, it seems there’s a lot of such people, including, unfortunately, people who were sounding absolutely frustrated) are not sick of looking at those postings.

What seems even odder to me is complaining about job posts which are rarely ever more than 1 every few pages, so 1 every few 60-75 links.

I’m struggling to see why anyone would even be bothered by that and not just glaze over it at worst if it wasn’t for some personal issue with the company itself.
This is one thing I like about Android. In developer settings you can make every UI animation twice as fast or even turn them off entirely. It's the first thing I do on every device I use.
Stainless steel is expensive, roughly a factor of 10 compared to plain steel. The reason is that Chromium is expensive. You can use low-chromium not-so-stainless steel if you then coat it with transparent paint containing among other things, PFAS, and save a ton of money on the material.

Edit: the prototypical stainless steel is Cr/Ni 18/10 with 18% chromium and 10% nickel, aka V2A or 1.4301
Many of them are, though. I suggest you read this article: https://www.rd.com/article/how-honest-are-dentists/
Ha, that's not too far off how some places work now.

I remember a friend getting into a huge argument with a girl behind the counter at a fastfood joint. He wanted a burger and fries and no drink, but the girl said it's cheaper as a combo with the drink. He said he doesn't want the combo because he doesn't want the drink. She's saying but with it it's CHEAPER! Just take the drink! He's saying I don't want the stupid drink, if you give me the drink I'm just dumping it in the bin! She's getting annoyed and saying but it's CHEAPER with it, take the damn drink! He's getting frustrated and says fine give me the combo and then YOU keep the drink - she says they can't do that because then its not a combo! He's now yelling what the hell is the difference, just charge me for the combo and keep the drink, and she's yelling but then it's NOT THE COMBO, YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE DRINK!

We eventually had to calm them all down and I think someone else took the drink haha.

The Richness of Reason – part 1: for Marin Mersenne, all music is math rock
The issue with negative weighted edges is that a cycle would result in an infinite loop when finding shortest path, compared to when all edges are non-negative, cycles can be safely skipped.

Compared to Dijkstra's original algorithm of E + V log V, naively pre-processing edges would require V^2 work assuming an edge can exist between each vertex.

Edit: the algorithm you’re describing exists btw https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnson%27s_algorithm

Yeah, this guy really raises the correct issue, but doesn't quite phrase it as I would: "The beauty of the Mac as a platform is that Apple doesn’t have to think of every use case and doesn’t have to build out every single esoteric detail in order to enable new features"

Apple doesn't have to imagine every use case for their portable devices; they just have to let developers address them. But they don't; Apple BLOCKS any use case it doesn't imagine. When Apple enabled real apps, a lot us expected all kinds of cool applications that involved the phone talking to other devices. I wanted to write a time-lapse controller for cameras.

But NOPE. Apple locked down (and continues to lock down) the I/O port on iOS devices. This will no doubt continue when they finally slap a "USB" port on the rest of their mobile products. It's "USB" because yeah it'll physically be a USB-C and charge through it, but no way are developers going to have access to it.

Apple even cripples its Bluetooth. And of course there's the lack of a user-accessible file system, and the attendant lack of drag-&-drop file transfer between iOS and computer. I scoff at the arrival of video-editing apps on the iPad, when there's no good way to get gigabytes upon gigabytes of footage onto or off of these things. Not to mention the laughable clumsiness of trying to manipulate tiny controls on a touchscreen with your finger (and hand) blocking your view of what you're trying to work on.

And by the time you're done junking these gimped tablets up with a keyboard and pointing device, you have all of these limitations plus the cost and bulk of a MacBook Air. I'd argue you have more "bulk," in that you have a loose collection of crap that you have to carry around (and charge) instead of a tidy computer.

What Apple should have done is enable the Pencil to work on the (defectively) giant trackpads on its computers. Its failure to do so is baffling and unfortunate.

Obviously in this case people trusted Symantec, till they did not. In the mean time thousands of people probably got their computers compromised, and they are still compromised right now. When Google (an opponent) dared to speak out against Symantec, it took years, while people's security was still being compromised, before Microsoft removed the certificate. After removing the certificate, you'd think people are safe, but no Microsoft decided to silently reactivate it for an obscure reason for some time.

Now my question is do you use MS Windows ? Do you feel safe, if microsoft can activate a compromised certificate at any time ? What certificate transparency are you talking about, if you have to trust handful of monopolistic companies ?

Hierarchical trust is as good as it's trusted authorities. What would happen in the future if you find out that Let's encrypt certificates were compromised like Symantec ?
> just 15% or so of small business owners pass along their company to a family member, with many others simply closing up shop at some point.

Businesses shouldn’t be immortal so it’s fine. People should celebrate closing as most owners are indifferent.

And they aren't entitled to have me as a user or customer.

As ad blocking is a matter of basic digital sanitation, this is roughly analogous to me refusing to do business with a doctor whose office has a sign outside saying "no facemasks may be worn" — they might be allowed by law to make a bad demand, but it's still bad and they still shouldn't even if they don't care about losing my custom.

I'm guessing the problem is that you're constrained by memory bandwidth and not computation power and this is inherent to the algorithm, not an artifact of any one implementation.
Consumer solutions for saving the planet result in greenwashing (distraction from actual meaningful change), new poisons, and growing waste through growing demand. Ecology isn't simply making correct purchasing decisions even if they feel good.
> For example, it is possible to guess if a UI element is "tappable" from a screenshot (i.e., based on visual signifiers) or from potentially unreliable metadata (e.g., a view hierarchy), but one way to know for certain is to programmatically tap the UI element and observe the effects.

Sigh.

If your site is accessible, this is pretty easy to semantically derive. The issue is that frontend barriers to entry are so low, and good teaching nonexistent, that we have an Eternal September of new web devs making divs instead of buttons and links.

The draggability work is certainly more interesting. I suppose it's because it went out of fashion before the revival of new standards in CSS and JS but it's kind of crazy there still isn't a great, standardized way to do drag-and-drop on the web.
out of curiosity today i reimplemented this

$ grep ' [qwertyuiop]*$' ~/wordlist | perl -lane 'print length $F[1], " $F[1]"' | sort -n

in common lisp

(defconstant *wordlist*
(with-open-file (in #P"~/wordlist")
(loop for line = (read-line in nil)
while line
for p = (position #\space line :from-end t)
collect (list (parse-integer (subseq line 0 p))
(subseq line (1+ p))))))

(defconstant *topwords*
(let ((w (loop for (freq word) in *wordlist*
if (loop for c across word always (find c "qwertyuiop"))
collect word)))
(sort w #'< :key #'length)))

those last four lines of code seem very acceptable to me but not really competitive with the unix approach for interactive experimentation

My post was "if they offered risk mitigation 2-3% would be fine but they don't"
I don't know about the rest of the world, but I keep losing interest in technology because it's rarely meant to be useful anymore. More and more technology seeks these goals:

1. control

2. vanity

3. ego

4. control

5. megalomania

6. compulsive urge to radically change everything you ever thought you knew about ____________

7. control

I haven't been the target audience of technology for a long time.
I understand the cynical takes and it's totally fair to be wary. We're all used to seeing startups where the only goal is to make money, and when they're venture backed, the goal is to make a _ton_ of money - externalities be damned. If that's the case here, then the cynical takes are logical.

But it is possible (just possible) that there's something else going on here.

It's possible that the founders genuinely are dedicated to increasing the prevalence of employee owned and governed businesses. And that they've found social impact investors aligned with that mission. In that world, they aren't looking for astronomical returns, just modest returns and enough revenue to keep going.

If you assume that's what is happening here then a lot of these decisions make sense and don't look so ominous.

Employee owned businesses often struggle to get financing and insurance from traditional banks and insurers. Because those companies don't know what to make of them. So creating financing and insurance products allows Teamshares to provide those services to businesses that would otherwise struggle to get them. (And if they're doing that - why not offer them to others as well?) The gradual increase in ownership is how employee buyouts often go. And retaining the 20% ownership stake also makes sense - it's a pay it forward thing, allowing Teamshares to continue to help businesses make the transition to employee owned.

If you assume it's on the level - that the founders and investors are genuinely interested in helping owners sell their small businesses to their employees when they retire - and that they're genuinely dedicated to increasing the prevalence of employee ownership - then this is _brilliant_ and _incredible_ and to be lauded.

It is also possible the whole thing is a scheme to screw the employees and extract a ton of wealth from them for venture capital. Only time will tell.

Personally, I'm going to choose to be optimistic and hopeful for the moment.
I don't understand why people are so protective of the "right" to burn Quran or to publish rude cartoons of prophet Mohammed.

Free speech is important and we should protect the right to criticize things and to debate, but burning books is not that. It's childish, offensive and seriously carries no informational content other than "fuck you".

Especially in an age it's almost rude to not put your pronouns in email signature. It's important to be nice and considerate to trans people, but OK to shit on 1.8bn people?

This is a really good point.

I was not thinking of the robot enforcement mechanisms which you mentioned. Those are indeed a benefit. I live in a part of the world where they are used, and it is much better than selective enforcement.

I was imagining a certain billionaire's Stasi as as service company informing inhuman robots to enforce the law, as said billionaire saw fit. Being a black box, the rules might be more shitified than speed > 60 mph. They might be: negative social connections >n. Who would know, it's a proprietary black box.

The funny thing is that I now realize that inhuman humans would be fit for the job as well.

This is an area that opensource would shine.

Our existing system of laws is indeed open source for the most part. I hope it stays that way.

As far as I understand, Apple Pay can be used with any EMV contactless card reader and it works with all four major card networks (perhaps more outside the US). From the merchant's perspective, it's the same as someone tapping their physical Visa/Mastercard/Discover/Amex at the terminal.

Protecting wallet seed phrases, with additional user provided passphrase
One of the problems with seed phrases typically used for blockchain wallets is that there is no secondary protection if the seed phrases are stolen.

Wanting to get feedback on following proposal, that will provide some mitigation, while retaining the human friendliness of seed phrases (as opposed to raw key pairs). Appreciate any help on this.

Step 1) Create a list of human readable words (256 in total, each corresponding to a specific byte value). This is a constant.

var MNEMONICS [255]string = [255]string{"ability", "able", "bundle", "cactus", "circle",........,"zero", "zone", "zoo"}

Step 2) Generate implementation:

Generate a random 16 byte array. Each byte in this array correspondns to one of the words from step 1.

var part1 byte[16] = RandomBytes(16) //assume random generator is strong

Step 3) Ask the user to provide a 16 char password.

var part2 byte[16] = ReadUserProvidedPassphrase()

Step 4) Concatenate both

var seed byte[32] = contact(part1,part2)

Step 5) Use above seed as input to ChaCha20, with a constant nonce

var nonce byte[12] = {0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11}

randomGenerator = ChaCha20.initialize(seed, nonce)

Step 6) Generate KeyPair using above random

kp = KeyGen(randomGenerator)

When imports the seed phrase, they also need to provide the passphrase, to get the same KeyPair they used originally, just the seed phrases alone won't be enough.

Questions
==========

1) Any problems in general with this approach?

2) In step 4,5, is it necessary to pass the user provided input to a KDF?

3) In step 5, is it ok to have a constant nonce for the application?
Oh, i didn't even realize that even though I've used them xD . They kinda railroaded me onto paying the right amount each time on time to pay 0% interest.
