I wrote a dictionary system based on graph, the graph itself isn't being displayed. I agree RDF is garbage tech, it's easier to do something without it.

The solution is came with to display content from a given node is first to group neighbors nodes by the type of their relationship. Each vertex and relation type has a dedicated component for display and if not, uses a default one. The display order of relationships is set with configuration.

It very simple yet powerful system, that was implemented on mobile and web. I've prototype of very cool stuff (like a Chinese dictionary, and another multilingual one) but none very completed because most of more senior researchers I worked didn't see the point.
Blue is the worst color for a bedroom. Physiologically it's the most "alert" light, like a blue sky. It ruins night vision, too.
I use sticker note tape for these. There are colord variant of it, which comes blue/red/green/yellow. They are tapes, so you can decide how long it is required, while being easily removable without leftover because it is sticker note.

Nevada has a (low) property tax, a (medium) sales tax, and takes in a lot of money through sin taxes on stuff like cigarettes, alcohol, and the casinos in and around Vegas.
> Mathematical notation is for stating mathematical facts or propositions.

And as such it is way too often abused. Because the (original, and the most useful) purpose of mathematical notation is to enable calculation, i.e., in a general sense, to make it possible to obtain results by manipulating symbols according certain rules.
Sales and property taxes
> don't think China "needs" American tech

This is objectively false. Unless you believe fighter jets, semiconductors and AI are obsolete.

> whether China surpasses the US technologically within a few generations

China is experiencing demographic collapse. If they can’t gain the upper hand within about a decade, the opportunity will have likely passed as the surplus capital it has enjoyed to date as a result of its demographic dividend will reverse.

Several US states have no income tax, they usually make up for it with property tax (on real estate), licenses(think gaming) and sales tax. Some states that famously have no income tax have a higher tax burden on most people due to the way this works out.
Good idea! I've just added an (albeit messy) side by side.

Thanks for the suggestion!
From gold in ancient Egypt to silver in ancient Greece, to saltpeter in Napoleonic Europe to steel to copper, the geopolitical impact of resource production is truly history shaping.

Unfortunately it does bother me. It's so bad I must turn off or at least cover red LEDs before I can sleep. E.g. TVs. Thankfully for our bedroom TV we recently switched to a Sony TV recently which doesn't seem to have a standby LED at all – such a godsend as it can be turned off simply by pressing the remote and it turns off without a standby LED.
And I'm agree, for many people this could become opportunity. But I doubt, these people will become from currently established OSS entities. I think, all except commercial business daughters, will be newcomers, with new entities.

And yes, sure, will be transition from current state to a new one. And who knows, this could be like Y2K.

Why not? Are we to believe copyright owners can't reliably watch a video (or whatever) and know if it contains any of their content?

Again, this is separate from the fair use question. I'm saying if the owner of Star Wars files a DMCA notice against some guy reading Hamlet in an empty room, we should have little patience for that.
I had a similar experience with the interminably dull Neal Stephenson slog-a-thon "Fall" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall;_or,_Dodge_in_Hell)

No we want people sitting on extremely valuable, underutilized land to leave. They’re already paying very low taxes. It will make room for people to come in and pay income tax and more efficiently utilize the land.
A decade ago might as well have been 40 years ago.

Both Qnap and synology wt the least offer ECC capable nas. So much so they are getting better established in the smb and enterprise space. It’s a good thing you’ve pointed out to include ECC in your appliance search.

My preference and statement for storage as appliance includes experience of building my own boxes and working with servers in my own rack in a data centre for over a decade, out of my pocket.

The cloud is someone else’s computer, but I want my own storage and cloud and something easily recommendable to others when it comes up, even when they aren’t techies.

Besides, if we’re going that back in time we could just run a scsi raid array with a fibre channel connected to a power hungry server :)
Federal government taxes income, many states add on something as well, my state might tax 5% in a tiered fashion such that the first 20k is 0% and then 1% for 10k and so on.

Beyond that, sales tax on consumption. Property taxes on homes, vehicles, etc. gasoline tax for roads, typically both Federal and State. Nevada in particular is a hospitality state with much tourism so they’re likely getting good tax money on this.

Counties within a state and cities and towns may also add on, say a percent or two for schools or a big infrastructure project. Sometimes these are temporary measures for a fixed number of years. It’s all variable and complicated.
That's correct, I believe it shouldn't be illegal to know anything. Nor do I think science needs any kind of regulation.

Hurting people, lying, that's already illegal.

I think Maybe you misunderstood my argument. My argument isn't that good guy with a voice cloaner is the only thing that can stop a bad guy with a voice cloaner. That's, as you pointed out, stupid. My argument is that no one benefits if how easy it is to make one remains a secret to everyone but the bad guys.

It's real and has existed for several years. They licensed the name and branding from the Evangelion rightsholders. It got attention today because their Twitter account got rate-limited due to frequent updates related to the earthquake.
On a related note, the number of HTTP 404 errors I see to /wp-login.php on my static website is ridiculous. (But absolutely not security risk.)
How do you want to "efficiently utilize the land" if there is no water? The central valley aquifer is dry.

No income tax, better internet, better entertainment. I’m frankly confused how long CA will continue towards its own destruction.
Why Millenials Can't Afford Homes
The governemnt isn't run by meritocracy, it's run by politicians looking to maximize their power and wealth. They could be perfectly logical and learn to compromise amongst all but the most extreme outliers of the various parties, however, that's not the case. It basically becomes all or nothing for them (and their party) and the government limps along behind that. It's nothing like machine learning unless you were to put those as goals of the algorithm.

What's happening in their living room to use so much electricity? I figured TVs, computers and lighting use a fraction of what they used to use.

My mom is in a typical suburb tract housing development, and the kitchen is right above the service entrance and the HVAC/mechanical room is right at it.

Great they're applying the same logic to solar-first systems, but it's not a new concept at all.

False condition. California has plenty of water, as evidenced by its wasteful farming practices, which consumes 80% of it [1]. As with most of its problems, California’s retail water “shortage” is a policy choice.

That's not the subject of Show HN's, though, which is a great reason not to post generic fighting comments in people's Show HN's.
How can you be confident it's a bogus claim? If, for example, the "entirely different domain" provided a TorrentFreak email address as their contact info (presumably along with all the other assets they copied from TorrentFreak) - that seems like a perfectly reasonable mistake.
The UI/UX graphic design from Evangelion is actually pretty cool and clean. The only other sci-fu UI design I've seen that is also clean and nice looking is from star trek the next generation. Actually they made the UI from star trek better with Picard.

Borrowing the name from Eva might be a bit much in this case but borrowing the UI look won't be. They've done both here. They could've even gotten away with borrowing the graphic design look from Eva without citing it as the Eva UI designs are generic enough that it's not an obvious copy.

Examples:

The US government isn't doing anything here, much less pitting anybody against anybody.

The US has a federal system. States are the primary entity, not the federal government -- it's the opposite of a centralized government such as France.

Every state just sets whatever policies it wants. They're not "pitted" against each other any more than Spain and Italy are "pitted" against each other. They're just each doing their own thing.

This is all just to say, it's not some intentional policy at the federal level. It's just how it's always been ever since the states chose to come together and form a country. The (original 13) states came first.

(BTW I'm not defending this arrangement, just describing it.)
All red states get tons of federal aid
I think a lot of it is drowning in options. Sorta like how 30 years ago you could listen to whatever FM station was a reasonable genre match for your tastes all day. Now we spend hours combing for just the right thing... and usually never find it.
You're assuming Texas doesn't collect very many taxes, we're actually somewhere in the middle of "total tax load" for all 50 states, however the middle and lower class pay more than in other states to make up for tax laws that favor the 1% unlike in California.
I once was the third person of my firstname, lastname combination at a company, so I got firstname.lastname02@company as email address.

At some point I was in contact with an admin who noticed that the original firstname.lastname@company wasn't working there anymore, so he thought he'd be nice and give me that email address now. That was a terrible idea.

Apparently, the original firstname.lastname was watching a couple of Confluence pages so he'd be notified when they changed. Those emails went nowhere because the address didn't exist anymore. But now it suddenly did again, so I started to receive all those notifications. I visited those pages to see if I could turn the notifications off, but they were controlled by the original guy's Confluence account, which I had no access to of course.
Isn't this the whole point of having states? So people can vote with their feet in extreme situations just like this one?
California doesn’t have a water issue, it has at worst a water allocation issue. However, even with dumb policy desalination has become cheap enough to be practical for costal communities. Paying ~1$ for 200 gallons just isn’t an issue at the household or retail level just agricultural and industrial uses.
> The next trick I think of implementing is port knocking.

If you're at that point, I would suggest putting it behind wireguard.
To be clear, neither Yggdrasil nor Pinecone have any concept of “the Internet”. A peering over the Internet is fundamentally the same as a local peering taking place over something like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and they are not treated preferentially or handled differently.

Both protocols are also designed with mobility events in mind and measure far better than many other routing protocols on route convergence in highly mobile environments.

Also interpret “stream-oriented and reliable” as link-layer characteristics, i.e. a peering over TCP even if it is link-local satisfies these requirements. Not “reliable” as in “never goes away”.
Climate Town is savage
> What worries me is California refuses to raise property taxes.

Not true. Every time a property is sold, the taxes are reassessed. And in CA, that always means an increase.
That's pretty neat! Nobody I know has many appliances from the last 20yrs so I'm a bit out of the loop on those...

I guess all we'd really need is reliable switches and breakers that could be made affordably, and connectors that didn't create a huge arc every time someone unplugged a running space heater?

Still a pretty big challenge, the lack of arcing seems like a really big advantage.
Happy new year to all the humans and AI's out there, here is a bit of light reading for 2024

How would this work? Who has the authority to decide where and how home construction happens?
I agree. Which genocide are you referring to? The one China is committing now? Sudan? Yemen? Not sure which one you meant.
That's literally impossible given the way our Constitution and government is written. The only way would be a civil war by those who don't like the ideas of "states" and I don't think there are enough of those individuals.
I am well aware that the US exports a ton of music and film, and we're good at it, yes. China's film production has only recently in the last ten years really started to catch up IMO, the market is adapting.
The early Intel based Macbooks lit up the whole room with an extremely bright standby led. It's one of those cases where a dictator style CEO is needed. The dictator experienced this and issued a reasonable directive to never allow standby leds on any of the company products ever again. If it's on standby it's dark. And that rule has now stuck.

A good example in how different management styles can lead to products with fewer or more annoyances. Some CEOs would shrug off a product going out that could never operate in a typical house due to bright always on LEDs. Others would call it out, go down the chain as needed to make sure that mistake never happens again.
Having full logs sucks more.

Energy density is the issue. Gasoline has amazing energy density out of the box. Getting batteries anywhere near that may be impossible.

Battery applications are critical. Tons of money has been spent on research. If there was something revolutionary to discover it's likely it would have happened.

100 mile EV town cars would be great, they'd be much less money than the long range EVs and target air pollution in the places that need it most. Trying to make EVs take over for ICEs via policy mandate is just insanity.
Finish your degree. You won't regret it. At the very least, it will make migration to another country a lot easier.

The professor who failed you may have never seen SQL Server before teaching the course. If they are an adjunct, they have very little control over what is offered to them, and many will take teaching jobs without knowing much because there are no consequences (to them) for doing silly things like you saw.

Choose courses with professors that have something useful to say. Look for older professors that worked in industry first and then came back to academia recently; then look for professors whose lectures other students have enjoyed.

Your degree may have some "core units" that you have to take, where you will encounter incompetent professors. The secret is: no, you don't have to. You can get just about anything waived. If you talk to the course convenor and map out a curriculum for yourself that is filled with weird random topics, and you can say why this is the right sequence for you, they will almost definitely say yes.

Look really far afield, and find something else at the university that interests you: philosophy? Esperanto? Demography? Paleobiology? You have the advantage that with your tech skills, you don't need the degree to gain a foothold into industry and get a job: you need the degree to demonstrate that you can complete things, are smart, can learn new things, and are willing to signal delayed rewards. So it doesn't matter what the degree is in for you. There are an endless number of interesting topics out there. Find something interesting and run with it.
The states are semi-soverign entities. The federal government does not have the authority to disband them.
If it's not some sort of proxy/firewall remapping the port, you probably shouldn't use a port above 1000 for some services.

Consider this: an attacker (somehow) managed to get user access to your server. They can now dos the service until it crashes and then start their own service listening on that same port, maybe impersonating your service. Maybe they can use that to grab sensitive information or do something else.
Qnap and synology among other have plenty of reasonably priced ecc enabled equipment.

Which gains? Wage gains are up for the first time since the 70s and it’s concentrated at the bottom of the wage curve.

There is increasing wealth disparity which maybe contributes? I’m not a an expert on economic sentiment but it seems surprising that the wealthy getting a little more wealthy as a % of the economy would have broad sentiment effects, but perhaps.
Well this is definitely a take I don't read often on HN. The notion of having to pay "rent" on property you "own" is just weird, and it's not helped by the fact that very notion property of ownership is eroding across the nation. What's your logic behind property taxes being inherently better than income taxes?
Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely do that if / when I decide to give it another go.

I think a modification that separately tracked the prop 13 basis and a current price and charged taxes on the current price for anything that isn’t the owner’s primary residence could plausibly tax — after all, no one would get priced out of their own home as a result.

The property owner and the state.
Technology Connections rants about this too. I agree.

Washington state is one of a number of US states that doesn't have personal or corporate income taxes. To make up for it other taxes like property taxes are a lot higher.

Here's a breakdown of their 2020 revenue: https://ofm.wa.gov/washington-data-research/statewide-data/w...

TL;DR:

- Washington is slightly more dependent on charges for services than the U.S. average.

- Washington depends more heavily on excise taxes, including the general sales & use tax, selective sales taxes, and the gross receipts tax (business & occupation tax) than most any other state.

- Washington is the only state with a general gross receipts tax - the Business & Occupation Tax.

It's a valid question, but not a good one. The implication is something needs a reason to exist. This is a new technology, and just like all new technologies, the fear of it is spreading faster than the understanding.

Scams aren't going away. Will this make it easier to scam some people? Absolutely, so did the internet. I'm not claiming this is anything like the internet. My argument closer to, the reason people get scammed isn't because [thing exists] it's because bad people lie, and kind people trust them. We can all wring our hands in fear over what the new technology might do, or we can solve the problems we care about. Authenticity was hard before this, and it'll be hard after.
There's the obvious aspect of you having to pay for the associated infrastructure that makes it possible for you to live in the property you own. Streets, fire department, police, electrical grid, water/sewer. Those costs aren't related to the purchase price of the house/property you own.

Certain states with very large tourist arrivals in proportion to their population (Nevada, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii) are able to structure their taxes so that (hopefully) much of the tax burden is paid by tourists.
