> Telegram's crypto is a mess

Telegram's crypto may be weird, as the professional cryptographers you allude to have pointed out; I don't know, not being a cryptography expert. But MTProto 2.0 has been shown to enjoy many nice security properties (including a version of forward secrecy, though one afaik not as good as that enjoyed by Signal): formal proofs available here https://github.com/miculan/telegram-mtproto2-verification/tr... and some peer reviewed papers describing the formal verification effort are linked to there as well. Considering that I think calling Telegram's crypto "a mess" is misleading.
My regularly sweaty hands say that digital notes are great. My non-home-owning self says that not carrying around boxes upon boxes of my notes for review later in life is the way to go.

Reforestation to capture carbon could be done much more cheaply, study says
This must be the reason. Wine seeks to be compatible with a bunch of legacy software, some of which will want to use the equivalent of .NET 1, 2, 3, and 4.x Framework and not just "dotnet core". (Or whatever the new thing is called in Microsoftese this week.)

Edit: maybe this means WPF can be the best way to write Linux applications. After all, Win32 is the stable Linux API... nudge nudge, wink wink. :-D
15 years ago while resisting the smartphone shift I got myself a passport case to use as a combined wallet and portable notebook to write things down in. It worked reasonably well and certainly had some robust advantages but honestly so do cross-device syncd apps that I've used since smartphone adoption.
Toxic hellhole. Moderators so arrogant closing questions they basically don't like or think are stupid (they cannot answer them, but he). It worked when it did but putting just random 'smart' people 'in power' really did make them bullies. How weird.
If I didn’t have to travel regularly I would use paper. Next best thing is OneNote with a tablet/iPad and pen. Just set it up like you would with a bunch of paper notebooks. Searchable, flexible, and lightweight. Obsidian/Notion sounds great but are rigid.

My only nod to electronic organization is a simple todo app like Things or Todoist.
Article claims USA/Europe no longer have crop reduction policies in place because "they know that producing more and exporting it brings greater benefits than reducing the amount produced." Japan's approach does indeed seem more controlling. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know.

Edit: Article also says "western" countries subsidize farmers to protect them from price drops of oversupply.
For todo lists, I agree and at most a plaintext file or the Reminders app on your phone is enough. For daily notes though I feel like Obsidian is only as complex as you want it to be. My vault for work notes is mainly a haphazard bunch of copy-pasted snippets and chat records pasted in an auto-dated daily note, and it's saved me a bunch of times when I've needed to go back and search something.
Yeah I'm not seeing a downside to this.
I jusst used Docker for the first time - I can't believe I didn't know about it before. I thought the only way to run Linux on macOS was using some sort of Virtualbox-esque solution.

I just don't like how the containers are ephemeral.. I want to use it like a VM.
Because nobody wanted to maintain it.
As a scientist I keep organized in the following ways:

* I text myself on slack random idea I have about various projects

* I regularly use a white board to write down the current state of all my projects, where they are at, what needs to be done

* I have a notebook that I write todos in for day to day things

Also these things are basically interchangeable. I have had several different thoughts about how to make a better organisation system through software. But so far I didn't come up with one that i would abandon my research to spend the time writing organisational software instead.
Absolutely.

If an item has been on your TODO list for years, it's most likely not worth doing anyway.

Might as well lose the paper upon which the item is written.
I grew up taking copious handwritten notes and making pencil-to-pen sketches so I get it but sometimes markdown's just as fast for list making and edits are no-mess. The closest I've found to the two is the Boogie Board but IMHO as far as being its best self -- some temp/limited storage, levels of undo, maaaaaybe cut-n-paste? -- it's still about a microcontroller hack or addition away from awesomeness. At any rate, perhaps the headline could be dialed back to "Just use f-ing paper (for now), man"?
I've got one of those withings with Bluetooth, loving it so far
People also like colloquially saying "The Square Root of -1". Technically wrong but personally meaningful.
GA is mainstream once normal people start joking about the square root of zero. We need to imagine and teach even more imaginary numbers one day.
Wine has (or used to have anyway, not sure if it still does) a version of Mono it used to run .NET stuff within Wine; I'd assume this has to do with that, that they were relatively alone in having a continuing interest in the Mono codebase vs. the dotnet core stuff.

This is me.

Skill issue notwithstanding.
OAG report on Launcher 2: https://www.oversight.gov/report/NASA/NASA%E2%80%99s-Managem...

The contractor is Bechtel.

Note, the Senate Launch System is already a huge success: money was transferred from the taxpayer to the contractors as a "jobs program". It doesn't matter if anything flies.

I worked on Mono a lot back in the early 2000s (back in the SVN days before it moved to Git, even). This move makes a lot of sense. Things evolved a lot over the years. Mono's legacy goals, which are to be a portable CLR (.NET) runtime for platforms that Microsoft didn't care about, don't make much sense today.

Mono made a lot of sense for running places where full .NET didn't, like in full AOT environments like on the iPhone where you can't JIT, or for random architectures that don't matter anymore but once did for Linux (Alpha, Itanium, PPC, MIPs, etc.). When Microsoft bought Xamarin (which itself was born out of the ashes of the Novell shutdown of the Mono effort) and started the DotNET Core efforts to make .NET more portable itself and less a system-provided framework and merge in a lot of the stuff Mono did a single more focused project made more sense.

Mono was still left out there to support the edge cases where DotNET Core didn't make sense, which was mostly things like being a backend for Wine stuff in some cases, some GNOME Desktop stuff (via GTK#, which is pretty dead now), and older niche use cases (second life and Unity still embed mono as a runtime for their systems). The project was limping, though, and sharing a standard library but different runtimes after much merging. Mono's runtime was always a little more portable (C instead of C++) and more accessible to experiment with, but we need that less and less, but it's still perfect for Wine. So, having it live on in Wine makes sense. It's a natural fit.
Why? Is it not okay to ship them directly?

I'll gladly finance at 4x the cost (so like around $5,000) to purchase an alternative Pixel for a fully open source bootloader with physically compartmentalized chips with open interfaces and a less sleek device.

There are a very tiny minority of people who can choose the right technology for the job.

Rust is not the answer for most problems. If you like it or not!
Few things are easy. Some problems with your proposal:

1. Assumes the asset in question is publicly traded.

2. Assumes the publicly traded asset has a non trivial amount of trade volume
3. Assumes asset price is relatively stable, moving in a narrow band along a clear trend-line

4. Assumes you have defined the price from the stock information (last trade before close. Daily average, etc)

5. Assumes holder's position is small enough not to affect stock price were they to sell.

And stocks are the easiest to do this with!

Look at the Trump vs NY court case for the value of his house in FL. Unlike the valuation imposed by government fiat, the valuation was agreed to freely by the parties. The courts found it excessive (and it might be) and proposed a valuation so ridiculously low it alone gives Trump grounds to appeal that the judge is either incompetent on the matter or has a personal bias and should anyway have recused himself.
This is the worst Twitter proxy I've ever seen. It's got one of those idiotic "wait x seconds to view this page" and then a "reload the page". It's like a spam interstitial you get when you're trying to view illegal streams.

I can't believe anyone not affiliated with it would post it. Awful tool.
HN crowd is democrat but not progressive. Reddit crowd is progressive

Also HN doesn't censor as much, libertarian-right posters that would've gotten downvoted to hell on reddit actually have an outlet here. Religious right has no outlet on either site
100 percent agree. I keep a todo list, in a notebook, copy undone items over every two or three days to a fresh list. It reminds me what's not getting done. It is easy to look at. I feel a sense of accomplishment. It reduces my stress to put an item on the list for later. I can look at non digital, simple, complete synopsis of my work and get an instant gauge on how things are going.
It's difficult to parse subsubzero's post after his edit, but he's saying Zuck believes Trump will win in 2024, so Zuck's spinning a narrative that he was forced to remove COVID misinformation, because COVID misinformation was largely a right-wing phenomenon.

My response to him was to point out that Harris is strong and trending stronger, while Trump is weak, so the tea leaves are saying the opposite of what he thinks they're saying.

Setting up Ollama via Docker was the easiest way for me to get up and running. Not 100% sure if it fits your constraints, but highly recommended.
This is repeatedly brought up, but the same barrier is over $1500 in Texas[1]. Sooo..what is happening here? I am genuinely confused.

I honestly would love to know how much money is 'wasted' by NASA because of these companies that seem to, over promise and then need a lot more money.

And I don't say wasted because I think that the money spent at NASA is not worthwhile. But how much else could be done if that money could be spent elsewhere or at the very least be properly estimated in the beginning so it could have been planned for. That money is (I assume) going to come at the cost of something else.

I really don't love the idea of SpaceX not having a serious competition. But... they kinda don't right now anyways it seems. I really hope we have another company step up to be anywhere near what they are doing.
Why walk as an IC? Without seriou equity, it makes sense to cash in the checks and line up the next gig?
Hard to understand why Zuck would come out with this now? This is like a bazooka shot at Democrats ... to give Gym Jordan this information to twist and distort. Never mind that the "censored" data turned out to be from Russian operative sources ... yes, never mind that.

This seems bigger than just business, or the House Judiciary Committee. Is this about Israel and fear of what a Harris admin would do (or stop doing)? Either way, there is definitely underhanded intent in this "admission" from ole'Zuck IMO.
As a related aside, "competency-based education" is a thing, slightly more popular in Europe than in the US.

I don't want to destroy all universities (like Trump or DeSantis do). But it IS true that the higher-education system needs a big revamp, and that the necessary change is unlikely to come from within, because the people (tenured faculty) who currently hold all the power have a strong interest in not rocking the boat.
Better Explanations Through Coupling
I once worked for a founder who used paper lists. The guy was a billionaire in a very advanced field, but his office workflow was based on a small sheet of note paper with crossed-out tasks.

At the time, I used Wunderlist (later To-Do) for work and home lists. I also had a simple scratch pad in a text editor as well as PDAs prior to that.

I came back to paper. In the 90s, before I got a PDA, it was a small black notebook I kept in my pocket. These days I use printer paper. I start with a blank sheet on Monday, copy over the stuff from the previous week that I didn't complete, and then add new items for the week. On the right margin, I make notes of longer-term projects and invoices to send out, as well as some "home" to-dos usually relating to kids.

I find it's easier to add new items without opening up an app and navigating to the right file. I can also jot down quick notes or facts or phone numbers without having to go through clicks and keyboard shortcuts and arrow keys.

If I'm on the road, I'll use a text file on my laptop. I also still use To Do for a few personal lists (like recipes) but it's no longer part of my daily work routine.
For some reason twitter thinks I want to read/watch star wars talking heads talk about how great star wars is and it's obviously the greatest it's ever been. Tbh I don't care about star wars but no amount of blocking or muting seems to end the amount of star wars content that Twitter thrusts in my face.
Idk what I should say about the potential of enslaving animals for their labor. I don't even know what I should think about breeding cute pets and fucking up their gene pool for entertainment. Having said I have watched a netflix documentary about service dogs recently and it's pretty inspiring.
Raccoons are an incredible example of nature adapting to our built environment. They are adorable, and fascinating (and complex).
The problem that I have with paper is refactoring.

Creating my todo list, investor update lists, company admin info, idea explorations, and everything else always involves me evolving the idea continuously and shifting things about as the structure changes.

With paper this means using an eraser until I end up with a crumpled mess, or laboriously rewriting it all over and over.

I like the tactile nature of paper, if only I could select chunks by dragging and erase (fully) without wrecking it.
Naw it's fine... Just pay them $2/hr. They can make up the difference with tips. Also, they should have to share with the other congressmen/women evenly.
I get it, but had to move away from paper.. the simple fact that you cannot move stuff around without erasing stuff leads to disjointed notes.

For when I need to write by hand, I moved to a reMarkable digital tablet. For notes, I've been experimenting with obsidian/logseq, and it's been going good. For task management , I gotta recommend Super Productivity, it's just fantastic.

I just couldn't live the sticky note life anymore...

This is unrealistic. If I didn't accept TODO items older than a year, or even five years, I never would have built my fence, fixed my stairs, set up my home lab, learned iOS development, digitized my family's old photos/videos, or innumerable other things, because for each of those things, I had 10 to 100 more mundane but more time-sensitive/higher-priority things to do.

You can manage long-term lists without losing items to the abyss by using prioritization techniques.

> It's funny how a big part of Andrew Ng's classes is waiting for him to write text with mouse as if he were using the world's worst whiteboard; he could have prepared properly-drawn figures in advance.

My personal experience actually showed otherwise. It was more effective for me to learn if instructors write on a whiteboard to gradually develop what they teach. I guess that's because when an instructors writes a whiteboards, students will know exactly what she focuses on all the time, and the writing speed matches the speed of understanding. In contrast, a professor in my university was a big shot on operating systems. He used well prepared slides and he talked fluently, yet I got lost in almost every class.
Zerodium [0] [1] offered $100k for a remote code execution exploit for Pidgen about 3 years ago, the offer ran from June to September of 2021. Governments and a lot of bad agents must really want to get into that app.

I haven't used it for years since AIM and ICQ became unpopular to my peers, and most places like Google dropped XMPP support.
Perhaps Pidgen added support and became a great chat client for some protocol on the rise that I am unaware. Is it still widely deployed in certain contexts or countries?

I work from my laptop and the smallish screen makes tiling unattractive/overkill. I much prefer a very quick way to change windows which most DEs make surprisingly more difficult than it should be.

I use Cinnamon because it's basic yet customizable enough (you can't remap changing windows in both directions in GNOME). I set up Super + J/K to change windows (and turned off animations for that). If using too much windows, I know Super + 1/2 will always be the navigator/terminal (order in pinned apps in the panel)ot

I use Ctrl + J/K to change terminal tabs so I can always switch between $TERMINAL_EDITOR and the shell/gdb/etc.

I use vim's buffers for the editor and Shift + J/K to move through tabs (I use fuzzy find option when there is many buffers)

I use vimium (Shift + J/K) in Firefox to go through tabs (although the Ctrl + L + % feature is great to move between tabs.)

It's consistent enought that I dont' forget about it and thus use it
Are you calculating under LNT (Linear No Threshold)? Otherwise unless the rate is spiky it might be fine.
If it was important, you wouldn’t lose it. It’s a feature; sort of a garbage collection.
People in the groups I'm in also know me in real life and know who I am, but cannot send me a friend request, so they don't. It works fine.
As someone with psoriasis, I seriously doubt anyone with severe plaque psoriasis is going to go from no treatment to monoclonal antibodies. In fact, your insurance won't even pay for it no matter how good it is unless you try other courses of treatment first. The effect is going to be changing from one course of treatment to the next, asking your doctor about it is a call to action.
I forgot the sarcasm marker.

Regardless, cars certainly predate on more 9-year-olds than lions do in this day and age.
I write fullstack web applications in Rust, client-side too with a shim for interfacing with some JS for the DOM.

This link covers some technical details on how data is collected:

I love paper, but it's difficult for me to organise the notes properly, I have no search function, screenshots, links, endless canvas, etc.

I already own a Remarkable 2 but I really don't like it - it's not much more than an e-ink college block. After almost two years they added the function to draw straight lines, meanwhile I still can't search in handwritten notes - not even after converting them to text. You can add tags and the search works for them, but don't add a tag and you won't easily find the page.

So, I'm thinking about buying the Samsung Tab s9+ for studying math and sumerian, but generally also for planning. I find just having all my notes, pdfs, etc. with me, combined with smart features like search is invaluable.
They can know about it, because posting online is effectively anonymous (for that purpose). That's what I meant about "coming out", they could organize anonymously and all agree "if you go, I'll go" and one day they shed the anonymity in unison.
> Small businesses and business with low profit margins will be forced out of business.

Bad businesses that don't create enough value to justify their existence will be forced out of business.

That's a good thing.
> You seem heavily invested in going against consensus and best practice

You think best practices were followed? ... Really?

And I'll happily go along with a consensus that I feel was freely obtained, which is not what we are talking about. I do it all the time.

> but I stand by that freedom of speech does not require you have equal standing or that people listen to you

Do you believe that the amount you can be heard should depend on how much money you have?

Do you believe that an Administration should be allowed make secret decisions on what's shown to people?

> I don't believe fringe science or non-science deserves equal time in the spotlight. So I suspect we won't be coming to any agreement.

Maybe it wouldn't be fringe if millions of posts about it hadn't been suppressed.

Or if there'd been any serious attempt at investigation - gathering data, scientifically.

Or if we hadn't sent millions of dollars to fund research into this exact thing, and then lied about it as the pandemic raged. That data could have been very useful for policy.

There's a lot to it, and you've shown no sign that you actually understand the arguments. It's all appeals to authorities, who have consistently shown us just how captured they can be for some time now. Think of the 2008 financial crisis, or ivy-league colleges sending riot squads on peaceful protesters, or the APA 'legitimizing' and assisting torture, or the Supreme Court tolerating obvious bribery, Congressional insider trading, etc etc.
Nearly every racoon in North America is a carrier of roundworms. Their eggs are nearly impossible to kill, and if you ingest them, they hatch in your intestines and begin migrating through the rest of your body, resulting in severe and sometimes fatal neurological damage.
