Have you considered the possibility that Linux could have been even more successful if it had a more inclusive environment? I can't see how your elitist "filtering" philosophy is necessarily a good thing.

And of course, my comment that is purely based on facts and about professionalism is now all about sentimental and "feelings".

That's why we can never have a productive discussion on this topic.

Its fair to say that VW intentially pushed the emissions of their vehicles over the recomended limit, which potentially affects the health of millions of people.

Saying VW directly shortened the lifespan of millions is just Hyperbole.

They need to have experience and intuition working with promises without syntactic sugar, before being allowed to use syntactic sugar.

It's a basic way to learn. In Python you don't directly teach people about decorators without first asking them to explicitly reassign a function to the result of calling the decorator. In Haskell you don't teach people about do notation without first making them write nomadic code with the bind operator and many lambdas.

In many cases, just a few days of forbidding students to use the syntactic sugar is enough to make them appreciate why this syntactic sugar is needed and how it is supposed to be used. JavaScript's async/await is the same.
"Never interacting with Disney to begin with" is now a goal of mine.

I occasionally watch something on Disney+ with the kids, but it's been awhile and Netflix has been a much better value. This kind of bullying makes me even more likely to cancel.

As far as their parks go, I have been extremely disappointed in the past. Six Flags may be a gross dumpster, but it's at least got a bunch of cool rides and is much cheaper. I was blown away by the mediocrity and datedness of Disney World. It's hot and humid there with no shade in the park. Who wants to sit in the sun for an hour to wait for a ride that's okay at best. I may take my kid once just so they can have that experience, but I'll probably take them someplace much better for 1/4 the cost instead.

I get it that some people really enjoy the parks and movies though and that's fine (to each their own).

> Excel

If you’re deep in the Excel world, chances are extremely high that you also have access to SSMS, which has a really, really good data import tool that makes short work of nasty CSV files. The output of this tool doesn’t even have to be SQL Server, it will use any ODBC driver you’ve got installed; you can send the data to Excel or even a new, properly formatted CSV.

And if you want a repeatable package, there is always SSIS.

I do not work at Google so I am sure you have more inside information than me.

But, here is my thinking. Android is operated the way it is because it cements Googles dominance with its other services. Maps, Chrome, ..etc always ship with the certified Android phones. Google proper doesn’t pay anything for that privledge currently.

If broken up that first class “ships with the phone” stuff is now up for grabs and seems like it would be a valuable revenue stream. Also there is usage data which can be monetized. Play store revenue would still be there as well.

Custom spins of the OS for specific industry use cases with professional support might be attractive to a smaller company which just had Android whereas it isn’t lucrative enough for Google as a whole. Also these custom flavors might not ship with Google services so there is a natural disincentive to explore this.

Android on its own would likely monetize very differently than it currently is as part of the Google mothership. It would need to have a diverse set of partners. Even if it was just as a regional service reseller where it is taking a cut of service revenue in exchange for first class support on the OS.

I can’t help but think that this realigning of incentives would be beneficial for the market as a whole.

The actor I'm mildly paying attention to is Lockheed-Martin, who have an energy systems group that's working on flow batteries. Judging by patents, their flow battery likely uses various transition element ions that are kept in solution with any of a variety of organic ligands. The wide variety of chemistries is the attractive part, since they present many knobs to twiddle for optimization.
Non-physicist question:

What purpose do neutrinos serve in the complex world of elementary particles?

Are they "just" a side effect of radioactive decay, or do they facilitate some other reaction?

(edited to change the original question from "what are neutrinos for?" to the current question which was suggested by a grandchild comment)
Very true. Working on a proglang is more like running a marathon than a 100 meters.
Another thing that would surprise people is that how few complex data structures or subtil algorithms are required. For example in styx-lang, my little retard baby language, there is literaly no binary searches, no sorting, no hash map, no hash sets, yet it is still fast because actually a compiler most of the time only has to deal with very small vectors (5 parameters, 10 enum members, 15 statements in a body, etc.)
This defense is absurd, but also there are no tickets for the mall and Disney doesn't own most of the stores/restaurants in the mall. The restaurant in question is a tenant and the company that owns it is also being sued.

As far as I'm aware, the other problem with Dual EC is there's two kinds of componets you can use to build a DRBG: "chaotic" (think hash functions, or components thereof) and "algebraic" (highly structured but guaranteed to have certain properties such as minimum period size).

Cryptographic common sense is that if you use an "algebraic" generator, you feed the output through a "chaotic" one at the end. This can't possibly harm security (as long as the output transformation doesn't depend on secret state) as there's a reduction in which the adversary just does the transformation themselves. This is even more important if the algebraic transformation is efficiently invertible in principle, for example if someone has extra secret knowledge (such as the dlog of the base point in use).

If they'd used Dual-EC followed by SHA1 or something that would have not only been better according to folk wisdom, and demonstrably no worse for security (and costing very little compared to the EC operations) but it would also have shut down a lot of conjectured attacks that one could do with twiddled constants.

Yet for some reason, Dual-EC decided to go with an algebraic approach without a "chaotic" output transformation, which is either extreme incompetence or strong evidence that someone is up to no good.

Because more likely than not, they're going to screw it up, and the choice to use go was not made for sound engineering reasons (go is not the only language this would apply to, but because of the lack of good FFI, its more likely to happen). The exception would be if said person had a solid background in numerical computing and was up-to-date with the state of the field, but that's pretty easy to find out.
Fuel cells are a possible solution (especially if one can build a dual mode electrolyzer/fuel cell), but combined cycle power plants burning hydrogen would also work, if only at very large scale (but then economical hydrogen storage likely requires large scale).
Your argument would apply to anything unlawful.
Also, I don't think it particularly counts as an invention as it was heavily used in publishing well before the computer era, and was just shifting to a computing context and re-using the same metaphor. For a long time, text was printed in sections, physically cut up and pasted to a board, and when the entire page was assembled it was photographed to create a negative that was used to print the newspaper.

Just to be clear that I'm not intending to disrespect his work, just arguing the semantic meaning of "invention" with respect to this. His obsession with mode-less user interfaces and user-facing simplicity is far more significant a contribution to society in general (and ironically, cut-and-paste is almost the antithesis of his main philosophy as the once-cut data becomes hidden state - it'd be a better metaphor to highlight the data and physically move it around the document).

This is what happened though.
The argument for a back door goes like this:

1. The NSA is one of the world's only institutions that has any use for the otherwise irrelevant specialism of designing asymmetrically backdoored cryptography algorithms. They also have (or had) lots of maths PhDs writing internal papers. It's reasonable to assume they know things about kleptography that others don't, as it's not a well funded sub-field of cryptography outside the signals intelligence world. So if there was an attack they'd discovered it wouldn't be surprising if others didn't find it.

2. A good protection against kleptographic attacks is to use "nothing up my sleeve numbers", where the constants that go into an algorithm are derived from some well known source that isn't suspicious.

3. The NIST curves know about this sort of risk and attempt to use NUMS numbers. The constants are derived from the output of SHA1, which at the time was considered secure.

4. But the input to SHA1 is a giant random-looking number, not something obvious and above suspicion. Thus the setup fails to provide the assurance it was supposed to create because the NSA could have searched for a weak curve (if there was such a thing to begin with).

The argument that curve25519 wouldn't be susceptible is simply that curve25519 uses NUMS numbers properly, and so there's no wiggle room where djb or anyone else could have done a secret scan to find curves with certain properties.

As may be clear, how strong you think the above argument / problem is, will depend entirely on your intuition about how well explored kleptography is by non-secret research. Unfortunately as people generally don't publish negative results that's very hard to judge.

I have provided alternative reasoning on why your comment was flagged, which doesn't rest on the former assumption.

HN is a popular site, and you might have commented during peak hours. I think that is a more reasonable explanation.

In my experience, HN is generally anti-Musk, so it is odd for me to see someone asserting the opposite.

Show HN: I Built a Free AI Platform to Instantly Create Games with Your Voice
Hey HN,

I'm Damiano Rodriguez, and I've been working solo on a project called Caisual Games. It's a free platform where anyone can create web games just by describing them with their voice.

Here's how it works:
You simply describe your game idea ("Make a cookie clicker game with 5 upgrades"), and the platform generates a playable web game in seconds using HTML and JavaScript.

There's no coding required and no downloads needed—you can create and play directly in your browser.

What's more, anyone can improve a published game, fostering a collaborative environment for game creation.

The ultimate goal is to make game creation accessible to everyone by removing the coding barrier. Currently, it's possible to create only simple games, but soon maybe we might be able to create increasingly complex games.

To my knowledge, this is a novel approach to game creation.
Your feedback will be extremely valuable in refining and enhancing the platform, especially in this initial phase.

Thank you.

P.S.: You can create multiplayer games too :-)

P.P.S: One of the early users made a game about a water drop floating in the air trying to avoid dust particles and trying to merge with other water molecules. I'm very proud of it:

Again, I'm not sure I get the sense of your question, but I'd say no, as they are the most elusive particles we know.

Show HN: RelayBeam – A multi-port real-time contextual messaging platform
Hi HN! I am Suprit. I am building a new messaging platform - RelayBeam.

RelayBeam is a Multi-Port Real-Time Contextual Messaging Platform. With a unique multi-port feature; it organizes conversations based on context through the user-defined ports and hence offers a streamlined alternative to traditional email.

Following are some problems with email and other messaging platforms:

- With multiple channels and threads, users struggle to maintain context, often jumping between discussions.
- It is time consuming to manage overflowing inboxes.
- Users are distracted due to constant notifications.
- Spam and security risks.
- Platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams are generally preferred for internal communication, they often complicate interactions with individuals outside the organization.

To solve these problems, I have developed a multi-port architecture in RelayBeam. Users can create and use different ports for communication across various contexts. I've explained in detail about it with some examples at https://relaybeam.com/about

Feel free to use RelayBeam and let me know your thoughts on it. Also, do share what additional features you would like to see!
This sounds like a problem that needs solved, not a club to beat people with when they complain about it.

Oversimplifiying, they are chargeless electrons.

If you have an electron(negative) and a proton (positive), then the charge may jump and you get a neutrino(no charge) and a neutron(no charge).

It's more common in the other direction. If ypu have a neutron(no charge) it splits into a proton(positive), an electron(negative) an an antineutrino(no charge).

I think this is why lots of software projects fail - not because they are wrong - but it is just not what people want (and people might want things that are not according to the law ;) ). Then if it rubs the wrong way people who are in power then even if your project is technically right it gets canned and they blame developers on not delivering :(

I can see it in business software I work on. Interesting part is "required fields", someone makes 10-20 fields required on a form to fill in - but then people start complaining it takes too much time and why they have to fill in those fields and managers of those people come over complaining that software sucks ... well, great but we did not make the requirements, that was company/customer that wanted that.
