You're describing a willingness to incorporate a respect for user consent/participation into the design of your protocol. I think that most people who are enthusiastic about blockchains are not willing to do that.

It's not a technology thing, it's a power thing. They don't want coordination of this kind to be compatible with per-transaction user consent, because if it is, then any system which preserves that consent will be more legitimate than their thing which doesn't, and that's bad for their investors/investments.

Conversely, it's hard to find investors if you're building something that leaves users with enough freedom to insulate themselves against a particular remote influence (such as the investor), which is why the blockchain people have a bit of a head start here.

The app is already available outside of Google's store. Those who wish to self-moderate their software downloads can already obtain the software. (Let the men eat meat! tick )

This scenario is for a curated marketplace which needs to demonstrate that they are not acting improperly towards those with which they could have a potential conflict of interest.

There is no opportunity to debate whether such marketplaces have a software discovery and security benefit, that is already established. Implying to dissolve the marketplace is unserious and not an answer to the problem, and not helpful to the ideals of computing for the masses.

If you aren't being given time to ask questions during an interview (within reason of course, like 5-10 minutes) you need to go elsewhere. I've never had a job interview (on either side of it) where the candidate didn't have plenty of time to ask questions.
Yes:

One project I worked on was a BI tool with a fair amount of complex state. Before we introduced react we were using backbone, event listeners, and managing dom state ourselves. With react we made it declarative, which simplified things.

Another project was an email client with a lot of complex state and caching. That started with and continued to use react so I don’t have a direct performance comparison. But again, managing the state manual would have been a nightmare.

Ask HN: Android or iOS for a Linux and FOSS user in 2024?
Today it seems more impossible than ever to decide. As a lifelong Android user, I'm wondering whether I should switch to iOS.
But why? Because I'm fed up with changing smartphone for the sole reason that there are no more software updates!

You'll tell me to get a Google Pixel and get 7 years of updates. Agreed, but the price isn't as good and it seems a little less quality than an iPhone.

I'm a daily user of free and opensource software, with Linux on all my PCs. My emails, calendar, contacts, photos, files... are not hosted by GAFAM and I want to keep it that way. My main use for my smartphone: photos, GPS, web reading, RSS reading, chatting. That's about it.

In terms of smartphones, you always have to choose between the plague and the colera, between Google or Apple.

So what's the best choice in 2024 for a user like me, iOS or Android?

Approximately 1 million victims (mostly civilian) just in this century, with trillions spent on wars. Multiple continuous wars since WW2. Iraq (2x), Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yugoslavia, Korea, Cuba, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Somalia, Haiti. Multiple proxy wars on top of that. Need I continue?
I understand that reaction, I feel it too. But what is the alternative? Sharing details of an assault?

Note that in Tim's response at the bottom of the article, he says clearly he believes the board that the details can't be shared and that they are serious.
The page is light on details, but is it scoped and merchant/amount/time limited? Because if not, it’s yet another “hack” that merely reduces one specific type of fraud (when a card number is leaked) without fully addressing the problem, so the need for chargeback arbitration (and thus associated costs) persists.
And something equally chilling -- the sound of a glacier cracking (more of a deep thud sound).

I didn’t know mplayer had been forked - this looks good to me.
The primary reason why I used mplayer in the early 2000s was performance, both in terms of cpu and for lack of a better word ‘ smoothness ‘.

Basically all other players seemed to produce choppy videos ( including regular dvd players ) but mplayer didn’t ( and there was no motion interpolation). A friend of mine told me that mplayer was very accurate ( ie each frame lasted exactly the same duration), unlike most players on the market at the time and this explained the ‘smooth’ feeling.

Is this smoothness advantage still the case ? Would anyone know why it felt like that years ago ?

How is it possible to get any blue collar job at all without extensive training and certifications on your own time and with your own money in that very specific field?

How is it possible to not only be able to support your family on 3 working days per week, but to find a boss willing to hire you as a part time worker for what seems like a high wage?

How was he able to seemingly be unaffected by frequent job hopping and employment gaps that today seem to be as disadvantageous as having face tattoos?

My own grandfather told me stories of lying about knowing how to drive a tractor-trailer, and learning on the job. Now we have licensing, background checks, reference checks, and all manner of ladder-pulling that is leaving the younger generation without the same opportunities.

Another factor that is overlooked is the tradeoff between interest rates and employment. The Federal Reserve, by law, must target maximum employment first, and then 3% inflation second. It flagrantly disobeys this law with zero consequences. For the first time since the 70s or 90s, we had a job market that favored employees, and all levels of government treated it like a policy emergency to stop immediately. https://x.com/mucha_carlos/status/1791621965343560152

This wouldn't work in a situation where not everyone agrees to abide by the arbitrary rule of using toothpaste (or whatever) in as specific order. In a computer's memory, or storage media, the ordering is intrinsic, but in your bathroom cupboard it is not, and would have to be enforced by convention or some other contrivance. If someone decided they wanted to open the "special" one because they prefer it, or don't care about your weird toothpaste order kink, it all breaks down.

Not all things we do on computers translate well to meatspace.
Eh, better than Jack Dorsey, and almost certainly better than the government of Brazil and the UK.
Most countries that aren't the US basically did this, in one way or another.

There are multiple ways of doing so, two-factor authentication (think 3d secure) is one, an oAuth like system where you log in to your bank on their website and consent to a wire transfer is another. There are variations on these ideas, the system we have here gives you a 6-digit code in your banking app which you can enter on any device, trusted or not, and then accept the transfer via a pop-up on your phone, no personal data involved.

As far as I understand, both US law and US history heavily incentivize the use of credit cards. There's no nice way for landlords, banks, mortgage lenders and other such institutions in the US to do "background checks" on their customers except through credit scores, and that incentivizes credit card use. There's also a regulatory difference in how credit versus debit card chargebacks are handled, making credit a lot more friendly to consumers in cases of actual fraud.

Then there's the historical aspect, in the era where there were no computers, and most vendors could at best call a bank to verify if a card was valid, a debit based system wasn't technically feasible, which is what put the US on the path of credit. A lot of poorer countries had the major cash-to-cards transition a lot later, in the era of chips and dial-up modems, which made debit a lot easier to implement, and so that's what they went with, and debit usually means far lower fees.

Socialist anarchism still revolves around some kind of communal ownership. I've never been quite sure how that could be run without some kind of governmental structure, whether it calls itself that or not.

In practice, the only implementations of socialism that I'm aware of all included large governments and were/are more like communism than not.
Wow, that's the exact kind of hack I expected from HN :) thanks!

I am ADHD and this article resonated with me. Stuff I need to do sporadically floats in and back out of my head, and it’s rare that I’ll bring myself to act on them immediately. The technique is simply to have a pad on me and write a task down if it floats in.

Even without an external todo system that reinforces remembering the task tomorrow, but the article acknowledges you can reconcile with an external system at the end of the day.

Would I stick with it? Dunno. But the general ideas are the same as extracting a Today list in GTD daily (given that the original system was designed around index cards and paper), or as the way BuJo doesn’t roll over unfinished tasks from the last rapid log automatically and makes you define them again each day. In the latter case, the repetition of recalling and recording the task every day is an explicit feature.

As for putting things on the list as you do them, I actually have an electronic version of that on my phone already as a shortcut called Give Me Credit.

If I ask Siri (on phone, HomePod, etc) to give me credit for a task it goes into Todoist as a Today task in my Credit project, prefixed with a cash icon ready for me to immediately check off. That way I don’t give myself the impression I never get anything done just because it’s not sufficiently planned first.

ADHD is an umbrella term and we’re all a little differently affected. I don’t think there is such a thing as “this organizational system isn’t for ADHD folks.” It’s just not for some folks, period.
In the EU? These are all civil matters, so the worst they can do is fine you and then try to get a US court to enforce it.

My favorite thing about mpv is that it works under the console using framebuffer or drm. This can be used with configuration or scripting for image viewing, reading pdfs, and more without needing needing a lot of specialized tools, especially on non-linux platforms where graphical framebuffer tools aren't available. Tmux +(e)links + mpv can nearly completely obviate the need for a graphical environment and removes a lot of distracting things from view.

The short answer is: Apple would give away control of their products if they did.

Enterprise/Corporate/Govt all have tedious amounts of niche needs and requirements to endlessly grow.

Can’t find the quote as I’m on my phone, but when a former exec from Apple left and joined a corp, and asked Steve if he wanted to expand to corporate, he said he won’t stop him, but he isn’t going to help him either. (I’m sure I butchered it), but something like that.

Remember, IT = Control.

It sounds to me like what they cared about was the distinction between "now" and "plan for later", and the way this was actually implemented in the laws turned out to be based on inaccurate assumptions.
I don't disagree with keeping staff within safe regions. There are some issues surrounding that, as some regions require local representation.

Modern services, including Twitter, have the ability to geofence content/compliance policy to specific regions. Search, Social Media, Maps and News are examples of typical services which engage such techniques. So there's not a lot of reason why Twitter couldn't comply here, since they already have already demonstrated this capability.

Twitter's non-compliance will likely just end up with a ban.

> That's not the case. The STF never accuses, they only judge. Accusations come from other institutions. The Supreme Court then orders investigations and act as judges.

That's not true for some of the cases referred here though. For matters that the court deems related to attacks on the Supreme Court or democracy, Moraes can act essentially as both prosecutor and judge.

I'm not arguing if this is good or bad. Some people argue this is good, some that it is bad, but it is a fact.

Can it do smooth scrubbing (i.e. scrolling the progress bar)?

So many media players only show the key frames when scrubbing, making it a much less pleasant experience. Some mobile phones (Apple, Samsung) built-in media players seem to do it nicely, but I've never found a desktop media player that does it (VLC can't).

Probably would require a lot of extra decoding behind the scenes to extract all the frames, but worth it on a modern machine.

Market rate is based on probability of finding candidate to accept the lowest possible rate. It does not really depends on responsibilities.

A person can double the salary for the same responsibilities simply moving to the other company/location.

And yes, company will easily accept higher attrition than increase salary by 10%. Now even more so, and will hire for lower salary because there are so many desperate unemployed people who have no choice but to accept huge pay cut.
I appreciate the clarification and you make some good points. I have two thoughts on the matter. The first is that as heinously complex as the Earth's climate is, it is somewhat amenable to being modeled and we can say that things are bad and will get worse as more CO2 is added to the atmosphere. But I don't think that human society can really be predicted that way, and so the future is just more of a blank as far as I am concerned. You could be right about it though; there is little evidence to me that things have reason to improve.

My other thought is that while climate change is global, the effects are varied and local. I've lived in South Texas my whole life, and so I viscerally feel the heat and see the occasional story of someone dying of heat stroke. And I'd rank that as an even more pressing concern for an enslaved person.

Anyway, probably better to try not to think about any of it.

The ride is usually at least a few minutes from the present time. And again, the medallions are only required to respond to people hailing on the street. This is why cities trying to obstruct Uber had to pass new laws, not just enforce existing ones.
