I'm going to push back on this.

If you're correct that this isn't all about the person at the heart of the crisis, and in at least some sense you are, it's still not the place to litigate that matter with that person.

And the problem with crises, health, existential, or otherwise, is that they not only bring out the best and worst in people, but they bring out the best and worst of people (as in types of people, not aspects of an individual). There are those who are drawn to an emergency out of an earnest desire to help (and in the best cases, with an awareness of whether or not they are in fact doing so). And there are those who see the same situation as an opportunity for personal gain, attention, or simply to sow chaos.

That second type includes both the deliberate and intentional and the helpless, in the sense that they simply cannot help themselves. (See Bonhoeffer on stupidity and evil: <https://bigthink.com/thinking/bonhoeffers-theory-stupidity-e...>.) Both are quite harmful, though in different ways.

(Toxic people, as with cancers, are a shared symptom complex with differing etiologies.)

But the Ring Theory gives both a guide to what to do, as well as a handy index to who is failing to do so. And those (usually in secondary and tertiary rings) can do well to serve as gatekeepers and guardians excluding those harmful types, or finding clever ways to occupy themselves in ways such as to do the least harm.

Of that last, another element of crises is that there is all manner of ordinary mechanics of life which are still required but that those key to the crisis have difficulty in accomplishing. Tasking those whose words and actions can be harmful with performing the more remote elements of this (running errands, shopping, remote meal prep which can be heated or served on site, etc.) is a good way to give them the perception of being useful (and quite often they honestly are) without being excessively harmful.

That said, having to constantly remain aware that this is required, and to shop those who cannot contribute positively in the immediate vicinity, is itself taxing and tiring.
That might be true, sure. But it wouldn't get musicians paid.

Making music is something people enjoy so much, that many do it for free, and many would do it professionally for very little pay. Predictably, the average musician ain't paid a lot. Even the top, say, 0.1% of best-paid musicians are paid very little compared to eg the top 0.1% of lawyers or surgeons or programmers.

(I am not trying to make an argument about whether musicians _should_ get paid nor how much. I'm just following the context of the discussion.)
I think there have been large ssds in DC it’s just cost.
If you run a business selling a niche amenity, you need to do so in a city because in the country you won't have enough customers nearby.

End result: cities have more fine-grained amenities. People who want more amenities live in cities.
I liked the trackpoint on my Thinkpad keyboard, but with so much dead space on most ergonomic keyboards compared to a laptop, the benefits of such a small pointing device are lost.
I agree. 10 is 10% of 100, 1,000,000 is 10% of 10,000,000. They're mathematically equivalent. Why do I care if it's 10 people, or 10,000,000 people, or if it's just quoted as 10%? These are all abstract numbers, numbers are not matters of humanity.
You can use the Australian AirBNB site to see all-fees-included prices, sort by them, etc.
With the right paperwork, anyone can get one. I am using a RIPE LIR and it costs about $150/year.
If you just need a room for the night, sure, of course you should book a hotel. Airbnb never made sense in that case to begin with. For a slightly higher price, however, Airbnb gets you a 1 bedroom apartment (or 2-4 rooms for an entire group) plus a living room, functioning kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and depending on the property a private patio, pool etc. No hotel can compete with that.
I don't skip commentor names intentionally, but HN makes it really easy with the stupid (not sorry) light grey on slightly darker grey text. Contrast is an accessibility issue, and HN sucks at it.
It seems the answer is "no" --- am I right to understand it that way?

Another attempt at compression: use a native app to serve Javascript for the web app so you don't have to trust any server

I don't mean to skip anything, it's just not clear to me how related some of it is, and if it's lengthy just because it is, or because I'm missing something thats very significant (ex. cite + name + page # to help say "something we trust is something we rely on", link to Wikipedia as source for "eyeballs make bugs shallow"
How does it work for bicycles?
For that price (300 EUR) I'll take a used classic ThinkPad with a shiny new SSD anyday.
>> Club houses? What are we talking about here? Country clubs? Our society is largely devoid of the fraternal organizations that colored 18th and 19th century social life, and the social isolation of not having any 'third places' to go is in fact one of principal complaints about suburbia.

I think they literally mean "Club house" -- the shared services center for the housing development. High-rises often have them, large developments have them.

In NYC, our high-rise had a reading room, yoga room, gym, entertainment center, as well as a paved playing area for building residents inside building premises. People met each other regularly at these places and socialized. This is very common (minus the paved playing area, which is rare.)

In the burbs we also have most of these, and also tennis courts and a pool.

Many of these served as a "Third Place" for residents, especially once you have kids because it isnt as easy to hang out elsewhere. Unlike previous centuries, I'm constantly on my phone or on call explicitly or implicitly, at least in my profession, so social clubs seem unrealistic, though I know the wealthy folks go there regularly.
You probably don't need Tailscale ssh - you can just install the Tailscale client on your devices, setup a regular ssh server like the one baked into your distro, and just use regular ssh keys to get into machines.
So, a speed limit rather than a complete ban?
In an unequal society the crime could just be in the areas of high poverty because the government chooses to avoid improving those areas. Off the top of my head that's just one way to interpret "Crime is a function of inequality."

>If America didn't have to compete with the free market to ship an attractive product, it would be a different story

That's why you invest in it until you have a competitive product. The "free market" is a myth anyways. Most of the competition is playing with house money.

Forty-five years ago, there was no high-tech industry in most of Asia. Now it's the only place where you can get most electronic goods made at scale. Why? It's not just the cheaper labor. If that were the case, companies wouldn't have stayed in China or South Korea nearly as long as they have. It's because the governments in these countries, China especially, said "damn the externalities, full speed ahead" on a category of manufacturing that would give them incredible leverage over world affairs.

They dumped products into the market, knowing that some Wharton-educated coke addict in lower Manhattan would cry "Uncle!" when he saw the prices his investment targets were going to have to compete against. Pump more money into manufacturing, lather, rinse, repeat. Now the majority of consumer goods of any type sold anywhere are Chinese.

We could do the same, you just have to tell the Wall Street types it's their necks on the line if the US loses its competitive edge.
I've found Airbnb to be good for 6-10 people in a large house. Over our 10 ~trips every host has been normal to good.

I probably wouldn't use them for a single or couple stay, nor in extremely high demand tourist areas and holidays.
I don't have a blog, but if you google "personal ASN" you'll find a few!
And yet if I showed up with exactly what you need in my hand at a reasonable price you wouldn't even think about the sign. The sign doesn't mean anything.
thanks for the link, i think this is the best possible answer to the question “does yc accept $people_like_me?”. I love how open yc is about stuff like this - I just learned that 3 people from one of my UK universities were yc founders at some point! (southampton university)
This HN post had me playing around with Key Food's website. A lot of information is wrapped up in a cookie, but it looks like there isn't too much javascript rendering.

But when I hit the URLs with curl, without a cookie, I get a valid looking page, but it's just a hundred listings for "Baby Bok Choy." Maybe a test page?

After a little more fiddling, the server just responded with an empty response body. So, it looks like I'll have to use browser automation.
> I don't know if suburbs are prisons for kids, though.

Personally, I grew up in a suburb that didn't have transit and it was miserable. I barely saw my friends until I got a car. Every time I go back with my lady it's miserable for both of us because, besides family, there's just nothing there but some cookie cutter parks. There was one historical park that's still nice but its also a mile away from my mom's house and there's inconsistent sidewalks (it's either take a much longer route or risk walking alongside a 1 ft wide shoulder with a 35mph speed limit and curves.

I suppose it heavily depends on the suburb.
IMO this can be solved with education and enforcement in equal measure.

This is not the first example of there being an easily-abused commons of some sort, where we all benefit from using something within reason but a few bad actors can make things radically worse for everyone.

Radio comes to mind. It's very easy for anyone to prevent their neighbors from using their wifi, by trying to boost their own signal strength beyond legal limits.

But people don't, despite the equally easily removed power limiters. Because the FCC will come down hard on them.

Let's add more enforcement. Speed cameras everywhere, for cars and bicycles.
>people would have to remember deciding to ride means taking responsibility

And that, dear reader, is where the plan falls apart entirely.

But for real, regulation exists because large groups of people generally can't be expected to act rationally.
You don’t ride your bicycle through an airport terminal?
Please note that they're not the "earliest" sign of civilization. For once - as mentioned in the article, you have the Lascaux signs for example. But if you consider that these signs are not sufficiently complex to represent a civilisation, dont forget that Gobekli Tepe was only discovered in 1963 and that excavation only begun in 1995.

So there could easily be other sites of similar interest but more ancient history - not mentioning that David Graeber made a fair point of rememebering us that even important and powerful civilizations dont always leave big archeological traces.

But of course, that's in point with your argument about sea levels.

I spent last night migrating ERPNext 80G's box from Hetzner US, Hillsboro to Singapore.

I love the seamless experience.

- Take a snapshot from US's box.

- Restore US snapshot to new Singapore box.

- Wait about 15min and it's done.

The prices are still nice, compared to Digital Ocean, Vultr, or Linode.

I see so many statements of this nature from him and I just can't believe that a person that successful can be so monumentally stupid.

Don't forget that he is an unapologetic, very public drug user.

Every time he says or does something stupid, I just assume he's high. It helps explain a lot.
I want to point out that low income earners in the states pay far less out of pocket than the middle class - the expenses of the poor are covered by Medicaid, and that's just the tip of the spear in terms of the sheer number of social assistance programs the US provisions to those experiencing poverty.
Yeah exactly.

Even I, a non-homeless tech worker, have been forced to pee in the bushes next to a sidewalk in SF, because I was refused restroom access by 5 businesses in a row and I was already getting heart palpitations trying to hold it in.

I have never been refused restroom access (and there was almost always a public one within 100m at all times) in most modern Asian cities. Or even south bay (which is basically Asia), people are usually nice here about letting you use restrooms.
In AES-GCM (simplified explanation), an encrypted message takes 3 inputs: plaintext, a symmetric encryption key (generally unique per-session, as in this program), and a 12-byte nonce (a.k.a. IV).

If an attacker intercepts 2 messages that were encrypted with the same key and the same nonce, they can reveal the authentication key used for the generation of authentication tags (auth tags), and they can then forge auth tags for any message. These auth tags are how a recipient verifies that the message was created by someone who knows the symmetric key that was used to encrypt the plaintext, and that it was not altered in transit.

More simply, it allows an attacker to alter the ciphertext of an encrypted message, and then forge an authentication tag so that the modification of the ciphertext could not be detected. It does not reveal the symmetric key that allows decryption of the ciphertext, or encryption of arbitrary plaintext.

If a random nonce is generated, there is a chance that it is the same as a random nonce that was generated earlier in the session. Since the nonce is 12 bytes, this chance is very small for any 2 random nonces (1 in 2^96), but the chance of a collision increases rapidly with the number of encrypted messages sent in a session (see the birthday problem). It still requires a large number of messages to be sent before the chance of a collision becomes significant: "after 2^28 encryptions the probability of a nonce collision will be around 0,2 % ... After 2^33 [encryptions] the probability will be more than 80 %"[0]

If this program is sending 1 message per second (1 FPS), it would take 8 years for 2^28 messages to be sent. I haven't looked at the code, it may well be sending many more messages than that.

The alternative to a random nonce is a "counter" nonce, which starts at 1 and increments with each message. The potential pitfall of counter nonces is that they can be harder to implement, as they require tracking and updating state. If the program ever fails to track or update this state correctly, nonce reuse will occur. A different counter must be used for each symmetric key (which should be randomly generated for each session).

EXTRA CREDIT: There is also information revealed about the plaintext of the 2 messages that used the same key and nonce - specifically, the XOR of the 2 plaintexts. While this doesn't directly reveal the plaintexts, if some information about one of the plaintexts is known, that can be used to reveal information about the other plaintext.

I learned most of this information from David Wong's Real-World Cryptography.

Hetzner also blocks you if they receive an abuse report, regardless of legitimacy.
Does their existing xenophobia and well known exclusionary society stop tourism now? My experience is that only makes people more interested in going to Japan. Is like a cool kid's club.
Since a gross receipts tax hits anything other than small, local stores inconsistently, I'm not sure what behavior it's trying to drive. It also taxes revenue rather than income, so yes, it makes anything ulta-low margin like a payments platform DOA.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

We also get pretty reliable JSON output (on a smaller scale though) even without JSON mode. We usually don't use JSON mode because we often include a chain of thought part in <brainstorming> and then ask for JSON in <json> tags. With some prompt engineering, we get over 98% valid JSON in complex prompts (with long context and modestly complex JSON format). We catch the rest with json5.loads, which is only used as a fallback if json.loads fails.

4o-mini has been less reliable for us particularly with large context. The new structured output might make it possible to use mini in more situations.
Wouldn't call this a trivial thing.

It does have a principled argument to make, in which locals would ask if it's fair for owners of this kind of luggage to continue without a license in a place where electric scooters and mopeds are common, and require a license to use.
I see intel variant shared vps are cheaper than the amd in hetzner. When we can get Intel variation in Singapore also?
I guess it depends on where you live?

Most popular food in eg Singapore is surprisingly good. And the singe most popular fast food in eg Germany is the Döner Kebab from your local Döner place, and that's usually pretty decent.

Of course, for food popularity price place a large role. All recorded music has approximately the same price, eg when played on the radio.
The first two don't go anywhere and therefore aren't a problem. The third is just a variation of bicycle. What is your point here?
if you re-arrange the letters in 'chromebook' you get 'e-waste'.
Those rules are about delineation between scooters and bicycles. The easiest way to think about it is this:
Bicycles have performance limitations for safety and licensing reasons, pedal assist with a speed limit has proven a convenient performance measure for a bicycle in a bunch of countries.

Scooters have no such performance restrictions and as such require licensing, age limits, insurance and all that jazz.

So TL;DR it's just a convenient demarcation between two classes of vehicle performance, that doesn't also limit human only powered bicycles or full scooters.
Whether a "treadmill bicycle" counts seems on the level as asking "if the impossible burger is a burger" or "if a hotdog is a sandwich" in terms of failure to gain any clarity by asking.

On the literal sense every dictionary definition of "bicycle" is going to include some variation of "pedal driven". In the practical sense whatever functions enough like a bicycle is going to count, typically alluded to by being called a ${thing} bicycle, but "it moves on wheels and you go on it" isn't going to clear that bar on its own in this "electric suitcase".
that seems like the right kind of comparison, yeah, although it's surprising the world's stock exchanges aren't worth more.† the infographic article is excellent, though i guess now cryptocurrencies would be more like 15 squares instead of three

2% is far from insignificant! argentina's gdp is less than 1% of the world's—as are each of switzerland, taiwan, belgium, israel, south africa, pakistan, new zealand, nigeria, greece, and hungary. if the advent of cryptocurrencies has added a new power to the world stage of the same order of magnitude as taiwan, pakistan, or nigeria, that's a momentous event—particularly since it's doing it by giving tens of millions of the world's poorest people relief from terrible governance

(funding universal public access to history's biggest library despite prohibitions from the world's greatest powers seems significant, too. you've been in india, you know what library access is like outside the rich world, and you're surely aware that sci-hub and libgen have had a huge positive impact even inside the rich world)

in the infographic, the m1 money supply is about four months of world gdp, 35 trillion dollars, and that seems like the most nearly equivalent thing in the list to compare bitcoin to. it's about 3%. if we assume that countries' money supply is close to proportional to their gdp, that would make bitcoin the 8th largest world currency, following the euro, the us dollar, the yuan, the yen, the indian rupee, the pound, and the brazilian real. it would beat the canadian dollar, the russian ruble, and the other 150 or so national currencies, going by https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nomi...

if we use the m2 money supply instead, bitcoin is about 1% of it and drops to about 15th

on the opposite end of the scale, supposedly there are two or three thousand billionaires in the world; bitcoin distribution is widely considered to be highly inequitable, and so it may have added a few dozen or a few hundred to that number. considering the historical impact of certain individual billionaires like andrew carnegie, george soros, john d. rockefeller, and leland stanford, that seems like it might also be important

______

† world gdp is 110 trillion dollars per year; if corporate profits are 10% of that, that'd be 11 trillion dollars per year of profits, and you'd expect share prices to average around 20 years of profits, which would be 220 trillion dollars, much higher than the 89.5 trillion dollars in the infographic. perhaps outside the usa corporate profits are much lower, or investing in the stock market is much riskier? it's certainly riskier here
This law looks nice on paper, but in practice is another thing. I don't know how the enforcement it's done, but anecdotally a friend moved from Calgary to Vancouver for work and the company rented him an Airbnb apartment, the whole place for him, even the building have signs that the Strata forbids Airbnb.
> As the employees start to have families, they most likely move to the south bay for better or for worse, and I have a hard time imagine that they'd enjoy commuting via BART or Caltrain for more than an hour every day.

The 25-35 crowd are probably the worst employees that Twitter can ask for; too experienced to "keep their head down" and too young to suffer from ageism and be tied down with families. For companies like Google and Twitter that traditionally lean left and encourage employees to speak up, moving the company headquarters is probably the easiest way to filter out activist employees (since these days the company is making a hard pivot to a privately held conservative operating model).
Really?

Wouldn't that be far more dependent on particle size? Micrometeorites are going to reach terminal velocity fairly quickly, and that's largely going to be based on particle size and density, rather than original velocity.

Sand-grain-sized micrometeorites (or the sand-grain-sized surviving fragments of larger meteors) will have a terminal velocity of on the order of a metre per second or so.
Why not? If it can be folded into a carry-on, draw a line between bicycle and wheelchair. I doubt many would object to a carry that turns into an electric wheelchair.
Perhaps in Europe. Anywhere else, forget about it.
Really like the website design. Unique, but not at a sacrifice of usability
No - Seriously, an article with a title like this is unhelpful. First, hating Google seems unproductive because Google created many successful products people love, or like to use. Examples include Android, Google Search, GMail, Chrome Books, Google Cloud, etc. Second, I can understand why people prefer non-Google products, but I cannot see hating Google. Google is a business which has not killed or harmed anyone.

At worst, Google has a few persistent problems. 1) It creates dossiers on people so it can show more relevant ads. This is not good but it is also not a reason to hate Google. 2) It tends to be somewhat dysfunctional. Examples include recent declines in search quality, and the refusal continue to invest in business which are not instant successes (the exception to this rule is Google Cloud). 3) It is very hard to get any customer support. The solution here is to go to a company which has more accessible customer support if you do not like Google's approach.

I have not seen any reason to hate, or even dismiss Google. Google has created a lot of good products. We would not have modern search without Google. Hating Google seems like an unhelpful extreme behavior. Ars Technica should not publish articles like this.
