News paywalls are deeply problematic because when you "surf" the Web and when you stumble upon some paywalled article, you are either stuck (blocked from viewing the content) and you leave or you view the paywalled article in "pirated" version via our "beloved" archive.is. This dynamic is not good for a news industry as a whole.

I never subscribed to a newspaper and I don't know what exactly drives an average Joe to subscribe to one but my assumption is that one or two paywalled articles won't drive someone to subscribe to the newspaper, it would rather frustrate them to get stuck and blocked from reading. Either you will subscribe because of the word of mouth and perceived reputation of the newspaper or you will subscribe because your favorite author is writing for the newspaper you want to subscribe. That's why I find it mind boggling that for example The Economist's news articles are anonymous and not signed by authors.

My suggested solutions are: 1. Make old news articles free and really new ones paywalled
or 2. Introduce micropayments for each article (for example 10 cents to unlock an article for lifetime) or 3. Aggregate all paywalled articles across different newspapers to some news aggregator and then ask people to subscribe.

Tbh, I'm a huge fan of independent journalism and internet blogging which are free and either ad-supported or donation supported.
It would be about 2 days from the moment you sent the command to turn it on.
I did taxes with a CPA twice, and given that I need to sign them, and that I take the fall for mistakes anyway, I needed to review them, especially when weird things happened and the CPAs couldn't explain why.

Collecting all the forms and stuff feels like more of the work than putting into the software, and you've can't delegate that anyway.

Maybe your form entries are harder than mine, but then I'm happy to say no to things because the paperwork burden is high. I have no desire to be a landlord, because in addition to the actual work of maintenance (or even worse, scheduling and supervising others doing maintenance), there's a paperwork burden. I'm even considering dropping my international stock fund to eliminate the paperwork burden of the foreign tax credit.
> a single armchair is surrounded by thick curtains made of blue velvet — a nod to Lynch’s 1986 film Blue Velvet.

I feel like Lynch might disagree with this. He pretty consistently dissuades people from trying to explain his works.

Also:

> Lynch was adamant that his new foray into design exists separately from his film career.
Yet more fuel on the bonfire that is the fact that basically all tech journalism these days in thinly veiled "Sponsored content" that places the interests of advertisers above the interests of the reader. The trust consumers once had in the institutions that were supposed to be working for their benefit has been utterly and completely eroded in service of clicks and short-term profit. Every website we visit, every online review we read, every social media post we see and every YouTube video we watch has been bought and paid for, and the concept of "Journalistic integrity" has been willingly sacrificed at the alter of corporate profits. We can't trust anything anymore and it's all just another stage in the great late stage capitalism enshitification of everything cycle.
How is that a strawman? You're arguing against any market mechanism on the basis of a human interest story discussing Afghanis who sold their kidneys for what you'd expect to pay for a new laptop.

I'm assuming you aren't actually in Afghanistan, so I thought the out-of-sight-out-of-mind comment was fair.

> They'll be even more
> desperately poor when

Make that case statistically, how many statistical years do you lose from kidney donation with access to modern medicine?

> and donor kidneys aren't
> available because[...]

Everyone's born with two, you generally only need one, and failure is rare.

That's why it's such a perfect example for why a market-based approach could be a win-win for everyone. Nobody would die from kidney failure.

Some of the ideas about being able to work with data in different formats are cool, as is attempting to group related sites/pages/topics together, but that UI looks way too visual and spatial for me. Too much movement, too many images. Text is much less work to parse for me.
What is overbooking and why does it happen? From what I can tell, overbooking is entirely preventable and done to maximize profit. Just don't do that?

I was amazed at those "battery swap" stations that popped all over china for motorcycles.

That's a great solution for electric cars: Install "battery swap" walls on each gas station, and make cars allowing said battery swap (if the car "floor" is full of batteries, make it so that it is split in "packs" that can be pulled from the side to be swapped)

It is, and it's interesting that they seem to stay around. They don't add to the conversation in any way, and in fact attempt to de-rail and dismiss conversation without engaging with the material in any way whatsoever.

It's neither kind, nor curious.

It's not thoughtful or substantive.

It's specifically not responding to any points, data, arguments, etc brought up in the linked article.

It is absolutely sneering.

It reduces the conversation to just a single word or two in the title.

It is flamebait, tangential, and certainly tropey.

It is the definition of a shallow dismissal.

It is purely political and ideological.

It absolutely is picking the most provocative thing (in the title) and singling that out.

Positive feedback for is completely missing from the field. Instead security professionals mock developers and celebrate their human errors. This blog post is a good example of that. Everyone has vulnerabilities and security oopsies in their processes. Instead of cataloging individual vulnerabilities it would make sense to catalog the types of responses and claimed process improvements vendors and projects have.
As far as I know, Garnet is not a Redis fork, but a new software that happens to implement the Redis protocol to be compatible with its clients.
At the current level and concept of dividends, yes. I guess I was just thinking more broadly on the idea of profit sharing, maybe it involves changing the way we look at ownership. Alaska has a permanent fund that receives money I think from oil and pays each if its citizens a part of that money. In my view, that's as if each Alaskan citizen "owns" a part of the oil industry there and received profit sharing. I think something similar might happen in the UAE.

So I'm curious what a different concept of dividend/profit sharing might look like where it can help those who aren't the medium or super rich.

How is that known? Isn't "dust and gas" also how stars form?
That's kind of my takeaway. Nearly all of the visualizations did not show substantial differences between the groups. I was always surprised at how many kids with high numbers of adverse events were in the top group, and vice versa.

I feel like it also doesn't draw enough attention to perhaps one of the biggest factors: marriage, and its effect on one's choices.

It's quite possible I'm seeing a bunch of housewives with no income that had no adverse experiences, and they're making it look like adverse events aren't as impactful as they otherwise would be. Or maybe the data references household income, but then I'm looking at visualizations of little people that are more realistically representing a person AND whoever they're married to.

When AT&T was using an ONT + Gateway there were ways to circumvent traffic going through their Gateway while still allowing the Gateway to talk to the ONT and unlock it. But they've transitioned to deploying a single box (BGW320s) that are a single unit.

You can still put the Gateway into passthrough mode and disable it's features.

The light delay to the sun is 8 min which means that the biggest light delay difference to voyager will be about 16min give or take if the sun is directly between earth and voyager. That’s more or less negligible when you are measuring 1 light day worth of delay.
The legal system already has checks and balances to account for errors in paper accounting. They don't require an assumption that the paper accounting is correct, but rather rely on the jury to make judgements, because juries are familiar with the limitations of paper accounting.

We're still a long way away from pulling that off with computers, but the idea that someone could have made a mistake shouldn't be that hard to grasp.

I see that. But you're making it sound like you know that for sure. Do you see that there's a middle ground? I.e. "I had a dream where it seemed that God was describing to me these new theorems"?
I'm convinced that the mortgage rate problem is not about the rates themselves, but about the second derivative. That is, the rate at which the mortgage rates themselves have changed. In particular, the giant spike from ~2% to ~8% in a couple years.

If they are stable at 6%-7% for the next 20 years, you're right, they will absolutely be "totally within reason". But it's a big distortionary problem that a huge number of people have fixed rates at ~2.5% with almost three decades left on them, while the current rate is more than double that. It's super hard to eat an almost 5% rate increase to do the kind of normal nearly like-for-like home sale that usually comprises a big portion of housing turnover.
While it wasn't your intent, this argument is often used to shut down discussions of how we can improve social programs.

It's not even being compared to GPL. The original licence was BSD. You're right, these licences are meant to make things more free. It's incredible to me that even software engineers can't see beyond local optima and convenience to the bigger picture. BSD is like saying "you're free to do anything including throwing shit over your neighbour's fence". Individual freedom is basically irrelevant. It's community freedom that matters.
Yea that's fair, but I would imagine the tourism effect, although real, happens for a tiny % of overall productions.

And to be clear I support the government subsidizing the arts like film and I miss when my state had a subsidy and a lot of famous shows/movies were filmed in places I knew. I just haven't seen the data to back up the "impact" claimed.
Yes! My team came to the same conclusion and are in the process of building just such a library for our platform.

- Actor - who is performing an action

- Policy - what types of possible actions are permitted on a resource for a type of actor

- Permission - actions an actor has been granted to perform.

With the intersection of these three objects you can determine if an action can be performed and actors can be granted granular access.
>I think performance is really the best differentiator.

I don't understand this at all. Most open source projects start out equally as a means to give back to and collaborate with the community as well as showcase one's skills. You're asking me to purposefully publish badly optimized software? I don't have it in me. That offends my sensibilities of craftsmanship. A 'slow' open source project will never get traction. Even if it did, I also don't know how an open source project wouldn't immediately have it's obvious performance bottlenecks fixed.

Far better to go the VSCode route. Release a useful project, then release paid extensions for it.
E-scooters are really much more practical than Segways (as well as a lot cheaper) due to being narrow rather than wide - much better suited to being ridden on the sidewalk.

Segway's really seem to have found their niche as more of a toy than means of transport in the form of tourist Segway tours. They are at least fun and do work well, even if a bit ill-conceived!
Thank you for your rebuttal. It is good to think about the "just a stochastic parrot" thing. In many ways this is true, but it might not be bad. I'm not against replay. I'm just pointing out that I would not start with an _affordable_ 20k robot with fairly undeveloped engineering fundamentals. It's kind of like trying to dig a foundation to your house with a plastic beach shovel. Could you do it? Maybe, if you tried hard enough. Is it the best bet for success? doubtful.
> This is just an assumption that generally, computers are doing what they're supposed to.

It's more than that. You don't have to instruct a jury that they have to accept that a person does what they're supposed to do unless proven otherwise... unless that person wrote code for a computer.

That is just a difference in geolocation. Maybe because IPv4 addresses tend to change more frequently than IPv6 because there are fewer of them.

There is little practical difference in privacy, with IPv4 leak the address for house, with IPv6 leak the prefix for the house. Address randomization means that can't track devices inside the house over longer periods. The privacy addresses happen by default, you would have to disable them deliberately.

None of those things are much more expensive in real terms now than they were a decade ago.

Housing is, though.
Likewise, banks chronologically rearrange the transactions in checking accounts to maximize overdraft fees. Yet when I suggest batching and chronologically randomizing the transactions on exchanges to reduce the benefits of low latency / centrality, people behave as though I have transgressed against Moloch.
In that sense, all laws are.
It's definitely the point. The fee per install (after already having to pay Apple to get the app out there) is absurd given that you don't pay that on the 1 million App Store downloads required to even start.
Evolu (a local-first platform designed for privacy, ease of use, and no vendor lock-in) has been using Effect for many months, and I'm close to releasing a refactoring that will embrace Effect even more (some modules didn't exist when Evolu switched from fp-ts to the Effect).

Effect is a great library, but it has one probably unresolvable issue. Once you use it, you will never want to write TypeScript code without it.

> I can understand how they got here: Most computer-provided evidence will be something like a printout of an email thread or a saved Excel sheet. Proving that the hard drive, printer, CPU, drivers, application software, etc. are all untampered and working properly is a huge amount of work that will very rarely end up finding a problem.

Eye witnesses, expert witnesses, etc. can be unreliable. It's very difficult to prove that they have not made any errors. However, we don't ask juries to presume they are infallible.
so far they just put themselves to shame (many times)
I think many people have a misunderstanding of what lower fertility means. Imagine a country has a fertility rate of 1. It doesn't seem that bad because it's pretty close to replacement. But fertility is an exponential system. So a fertility rate of means that each following generation (~20 years) will be half as large as the one that came before it (the formula is simply a ratio of fertility_rate/2). So you won't see any problem at all until the first generation to have low fertility starts to die. At that point you suddenly start seeing a rapid exponential effect. Every ~20 years (the size of a generation) your population size will be decreasing by 50% !!! And this never stops until you go extinct (which won't take particularly long), or start having children again.

It's easy to imagine 'oh we'll just fix it if it becomes a serious problem like that' but imagine the state of society when that starts happening. All markets/consumption will be decreasing by 50% every 20 years, there will be a very upside down population pyramid where the overwhelming majority of the population will be elderly and need care, so forth and so on. Japan, for instance, hasn't even hit the worst of it yet. Their fertility plummeted about 40 years ago. So their 'final stage' is yet still about 20 years away. Today are the good times for Japan, relative to what they have ahead of them.

Given most of the Western world can't maintain a remotely stable fertility rate in the current situation, doing something that would likely quite substantially lower it even further is indeed speedrunning the extinction of Western civilization!
Looks like a great idea! It doesn’t support languages I am interested in right now but I will be sure to go back and check it out again. One suggestion, for words that break a line, the effect of typing perfectly on the background disappears. It might be a hard problem to solve but if the word is going to be on the next line when written completely, it should be in the next line when I start typing.
Even if it was the case, would it be a problem? What is more important, having less humans being happy or more humans having a crappy life. Why should specie survival be more important than overall happiness of those that would have lived?
Curious if he could squeeze more performance by using a different structure to store the same data. Some of these float4 cols could probably be stored as int2. Depending on how many decimal places are needed, can divide the int to get the resulting floating point value.

Show HN: One more Planning Poker tool (OSS)
Hey HN, in the last few weeks me and my team were looking for a planning poker tool with the following features:

- Authless

- Clean interface

- Simple Flow

- Anonymous Comments

- A way to separate votes and comments per topic/ticket

Unfortunately we couldn't find a free $ tool with those features. So i took advantage of it and started doing something on my own to play around with go and websockets.

It is open source and the code is available at: (Nothing too fancy really)

https://github.com/zebaroni/scrumbluff

So you are welcome to open PR with new features or fork it to add your own team business rules...

My plan is to leave it free of charges since im taking advantage of fly.io free tier and i don't mind getting a cheap vps if it scales (which is not my objective).

Hope it can help you like it helped my team.
That piece is so much better and it's still relevant today if you think about it.

Everything this is based on is subject to absolutely massive genetic confounds.

How you're raised is who your parents are, except for when it isn't.

Which is why we have adoption studies. Which strongly indicate that it's who your parents are, not how you're raised, which is more determinative of outcomes. Is it a mixture of factor? Yes, but the dominant component is clear. A study like this focuses on the minor component and presumes that it's causal. That is unlikely to be the case.
