A thousand dollars is enough to pay for theater class, three and a half semester worth. It is almost enough to pay for five months of personal coaching. It would definitely cover a voice acting workshop that I am going to attend.

Granted, some form of education are cheaper than other, especially those that can easily be self taught. I spent hundred of dollars on books and materials to learn electronics. Maybe I could spent less to learn the materials. Really, the hard part is actually spending the time and effort actually building circuits and experimenting.

If you're skilled and persistent enough, you could learn mathematics and other skills for very low cost. However, tutors and coaches are worth their money even though they are expensive, because they help demolish obstacles and get you unstuck faster so that you can progress faster.

A thousand dollars a month? Please, that's enough to pay for a lot of education like you wouldn't believe. It would make the money I spent on my continuous education look like a drop in the bucket. The difference is that I am not pursuing a degree from overpriced schools, but real knowledge and skills.
Ranked: Average Working Hours by Country
There are many who would feel blessed with a 10x10 studio apartment with a (safe, clean, minimal) bathroom in the corner and barely enough room for good sleep, with shitty Internet and a bad view, and a barely-functional kitchen (and heat when needed, and maybe even cooling when needed).

(I've stayed in cheap-ish hotel rooms that are a lot larger and more flexible than that. I've also stayed in far worse.)

And that's... well, fuck: Isn't that OK? Is it not OK for some people who have (for whatever reason) failed to thrive and climb ahead at the present time to have these things?

(I think it's OK to give all people means with which to limit how far they can fall, even if that means that many quasi-successful people are essentially including this as a line-item that they pay to themselves on their own tax bill.

I also think that it is imperfect, and that we mustn't let imperfection stand in the way of general progress.

I mean: Nothing is fucking perfect. But the mere existence of ubiquitous imperfection doesn't somehow mean that positive progress cannot ever be made.)

This seems more like a feature that should be regulated into existence.

Satellite providers that offer coverage to handheld devices should be compelled to, free of charge, relay _emergency_ requests that are in the correct format to the relevant authorities with as much information as possible. On the same note, abuse of that service should be a crime worth going after. Not a 'parent with kids that played with all the buttons' goes to jail level thing, but no one should be going out of their way to activate it either.

That way, just like any phone can contact emergency services, even without a plan, so too could they use that part of the new service. A service which might offer data and messaging for NON emergency use as well (that one paid for by the consumer directly).
This sounds like a great way to find inspiration for UI UX designs

> Fun Fact: The russians don't even have to fire their missiles to wipe us all out. They could set them all off in their silos and create a nuclear winter that would accomplish the same thing.

There's a lot about nuclear winter that is controversial, but having nuclear weapons go off in their silos is one thing that almost everybody can agree can't cause a nuclear winter. The basic premise of nuclear winter is a) nuclear explosions on cities cause massive uncontrollable firestorms b) that pump soot into the stratosphere c) which causes massive global cooling. If any one of those links in the chain fails to hold, then nuclear winter just can't occur. A nuclear weapon going off in its silo will be more of a massive earthworks project than a firestorm, especially if the silo isn't located in the heart of a city with lots of juicy combustible material to cook off all at once.

Show HN: We Made a Guided Journaling App for Mindfulness
Hi HN,

This is the backstory for Sunrise, our guided journaling app. After experiencing burnout twice, I looked into cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Finding the right therapist, however, was costly and frustrating due to inconsistent quality and limited availability. While I eventually succeeded, many aren't as fortunate—roughly 122 million Americans still live in areas lacking sufficient mental health professionals.

This challenge led me to an unexpected source of support: mobile apps. Journaling apps, in particular, offered a unique solution for managing my anxiety. They were affordable, self-reliant, private, and portable tools that were also more active and introspective than meditation apps. Despite these benefits, existing journaling apps had their limitations: they focused more on record-keeping than on my mental health.

Drawing from these experiences, my cofounders and I made Sunrise, a journal therapy app that goes beyond simply recording daily events. Sunrise enhances mindfulness with evidence-based journal guides, visual mental health progress tracking, and "Positive Notes" for emotional support. Our goal is to provide individuals with the safest digital space to reflect, relax, and recharge on their path to better mental wellbeing.

You can see a detailed product demo in our website or download the app for free from July 23 to Aug 1 - let us know what you think HN Community. Cheers!

Earnouts worked great for us, but services businesses aren't product businesses; I wouldn't be surprised to learn that effectively every services acquisition is back-loaded with earnouts.
Which, given the people who designed this and the time they were designing for, was most of them (and most of their audience). Don't confuse "this old standard doesn't adequately cover all cases today" with "this old standard sucked at the time".
> a networked, unfirewallable, impossible to remove rootkit-shaped target for every hacker in the world to instantly own your entire network.

This old chestnut?

1. Exploiting endpoint agents is mildly popular on blogs and in conference talks. It could happen in the wild, but that's costly R&D for something that would be found and patched immediately. The economics are against it, so in practice it doesn't happen.

2. Exploits in general are actually pretty rare in the corporate world, and when we do see them they're mostly command injections like Log4Shell. This is a 180-degree turn from a decade ago, when Internet Explorer was the dominant browser, the web ran on Flash, people read PDFs in Acrobat, and Microsoft could barely patch the Office equation editor because they'd lost the source. That world is gone.

3. In the 2020s, almost every attack you'll have heard of was because of weak passwords or missing MFA. SolarWinds, Colonial Pipeline, Uber, Okta, Microsoft, UnitedHealth, on and on. Plenty of malware, zero exploits.

So to sum up, you have real risk from bad things that actually happen, and then you have tools that effectively manage that risk, and then you have hypothetical risk that never happens associated with those tools. And your position is that the hypothetical risk that never happens is so great that people shouldn't use these tools to stop the real risk that actually does happen.

Which, sure. That's a take.

The point of the article is one I align with: You're writing it for yourself, 99% of the time. The other 1% is the future you.

I blog for work. I don't discuss it with family. I think I'd find it very stressful answering the "why did you say that" questions.

The corollary of this, is that I write notes by hand in almost every meeting I attend, and never ever read them again -But for things like IETF I do a mixture of .org and meetecho (markdown) because there is at least some possibility others may get value from the shared log in meetecho, and I know I will use the .org to .. write the blog.

> I would expect some type of escalation beyond the position we have been in for the better part of the last 80 years.

We have escalated beyond the point we have been in for the last 80 years. Russia have lost more troops than in any war since WWII. That is a lot of dead Slavs. Their strategic nuclear defences have already been attacked [0] and NATO currently appears to be organising direct strikes on Russian territory. They've made it quite clear that they want the war to continue until something in Russia breaks. When more warnings are you expecting to see? There are a lot of warnings out there.

We could easily discover that someone tried to launch the nukes already in this conflict. It would be precedented; the situation is more tense than it ever has been before and we've had fortuitous near misses in similar situations. We're already in territory where we are rolling the dice for a catastrophe with low odds.

And now with their bad hiring practices and shady business deals they might not be popular among HN crowd for long too.
I run this from a ZFS snapshot. What I want backed up from my home dir lives on the same volume, so I don't have to launch restic multiple times. I have dedicated volumes for what I specifically want excluded from backups and ZFS snapshots (~/tmp, ~/Downloads, ~/.cache, etc).

I've been thinking of somehow triggering restic by zrepl whenever it takes a snapshot, but I haven't figured a way of securely grabbing credentials for it to unlock the repository and to upload to s3 without requiring user intervention.
Yeah nah... they have great products and their primary business is allowing them to enter markets where other companies can't compete. The valuation is based on potential not the business as it stands today.

And to your point they are popular with the HN crowd which is usually a strong indicator.

I'd really like to have a more headless system like Chromecast. I'm contrast to here, to this media PC needing its own dedicated input device. Anyone in the family should be able to open their phone & manipulate the current session collaboratively.

I've been kind of ok with Jellyfin-mpv-shim on devices as display server. Jellyfin has the everloving worst most anti-filesystem ridiculous media management, and the Android client can be pretty finicky, desyncing and needing restarts, or having its themeing get messed up & becoming unreadable. But I've kind of learned to live with it. Eventually everything plays.

I also broke out BubbleUPNP again recently & it's been pretty good. Particularly after setting up a BubbleUPNP transcode service on my media server, it's become quite reliable, and has always been quite the Swiss army knife of taking whatever media you have and sending it to whatever device you want. It's not open source & not ideal for keeping track & progressing through a bunch of shows over time, but it mind of shows that the UPNP dream, conceptually, was pretty awesome.

Hoping eventually Open Screen Protocol starts materializing for real. Matter Cast is out but it's a travesty, the most un-interoperable load of crap where your tv seemingly has to already know how to go download a custom native app to work, 100% anti open anything. Open Screen Protocol looks conceptually great, like a way to have a thick client but a dumb one that only runs whatever your phone tells it to. Please please please.

I think it all comes down to relativity and the speed of light.

There is no single, universal, true ordered state (ledger/db). Participants need a conflict resolution mechanism to figure out whose truth is correct. One must rely on a localized consinstent state of some authority (leader/consensus).
It occasionally comes up in conversations. But I don't think people are that interested. Although I will say my programming hot takes occasionally do get popular.

New Signs of Satoshi

The thing they should have said in the headline is that its a large pebble-bed reactor. So far they've all been demonstrators. But now:

Dong and his colleagues have demonstrated that the system works with a full-scale nuclear plant, the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor Pebble-Bed Module (HTR-PM) in Shandong.
I don't recall petroleum fires being a huge part of the dialog, back when nuclear winter was a big public topic, such that I'd bring it up first thing and to the exclusion of other concerns.

It was part of it, for sure. There was at least one apocalyptic science fiction story about the Soviets testing a bomb underground and accidentally setting a massive oil field on fire. (it was called Anvil? Or written by Christopher Anvil? jeez, it's been a while...) But it's strange to see it commented on as the main concern.

It's all about the conclusion:

Whoever created the signature of the message was definitely in possession of the private key that Hal Finney had in use at the beginning of 2009. However, it can be ruled out that this signature was actually created in 2009.

Furthermore, it was already known before that this private key was still in use after Hal Finney's death († 2014) (for example this transaction from 2017 proves this).

Fact is, it is not known who currently holds possession of this key, nor how they came into possession of it and I refrain from useless speculations on this matter.
IIRC there's another larger reactor of this type already midway through construction in China and third even larger again scheduled to start in a year or so based on this first "at scale" pilot bedding for a year or so.

This is commitment to the pebble reactor design through tight staged near parallel construction, a minimum feasible gap in which to iterate lessons learned forwards.
A simpler way to put it is poker is a win/lose game, while markets are win/win.

"Streaming" from Usenet doesn't sound too bad, really, for many things.

Just automagically download the RARs and PARs for a good release that make sense to get moving, and then: Get moving. (And keep processing as moving forward happens.)

(What makes a "good" release? IDK, but streaming from torrents must be able to be figured out, and outside of torrents nzbget seems to be able to usually figure it pretty quickly from Usenet for me. Neither method is inherently start-to-finish and suitable for "streaming" but that doesn't mean that either of them cannot be made to work.

And one of them apparently does work.)
