That is the only way to decentralize given reality of spam and incentives to manipulate results. "trusted network of peers" is the key here. In my opinion in order for it to work trust should be weighted. And weights should be upd

400+? I understand one or a few, but at this point is it just an entertainment? Or is it dopamine? If you had a perfect blissful state at a push of a button would you just keep pressing it? I'm guessing that doing it this often, it&#x2

Why is everybody in this thread providing their RAM and SSD size like it's relevant but no info on whether they upgraded their CPU or not? Issues seem relatively common but I can't find info on whether it only happens to those wh

You could make similar argument against webgl. Sure, it's hard, but take a step back and midi is just a more sophisticated keyboard/mouse (re input, the output is just a few pixels). Most musicians are ok with as much as 10ms late

Any comment on the implementation Google did for hangouts/google talk? It seemed like that should have been enough of a push.

CSAC (chip scale atomic clock) seems to be well below $2k, I think they could swallow that. Army would probably be interested in such case. Also, TIL that GPS satellites are not geostationary.

Yeah, and the meaning is still the same. A reminder that you don't have to follow a huge monopoly that lost touch with customers some time ago..

This one liner is a winner. I have more primitive approach with a single file. I've been doing it for about 20 years. Services come and go and you can deal with that. But what's crucial to me, is that it is fast. Always. No loggin

All other comments seem to be fixing the list, but the problem is not the list, the problem is that it makes you anxious. Few sentences from a stranger won't change you but you're clearly using introspection so you'll be fine

The world is complex. And that's why division between screen time and real world at this age makes sense. You let many more brain areas develop when you can touch stuff, move it around with many more degrees of freedom, you have way mo

Think of your different pursuits and interests as games. Game of your relationship, of making great product or game of making money. For each of those games you can think about what optimal move is right now. You may not know the truth but

There's so much heat about that problem because it's not that simple. Implications of technology changes are not always obvious even to HN users and they are definitely not clear for majority of the people. So yes, we need somethi

If you've always been a fan then maybe you have some more recommended reading for me? Title of the paper seems to be a bit over the top, it just seems to counter some straw man arguments against Superdeterminism.

It sounds like you are super critical about any potential security issues (because what else could it be, other than that it just works or it doesn't). If given machine security is super important (oh it's running a web server..),

Gov agencies requests still take precedence over any such agreements don't they? In other words, I would add some canary that nobody forced them to break rules of those contracts.

As Quora answer mentions, this paper exists because of Bell's inequality. But that answer is not convincing at all. It's a simple non-controversial fact of physics that whatever experiment you choose to perform there is some com

It seems unlikely to me that you will make use of much of your skillset this way. Doesn't it make more sense then to use as much of it for your day job and then using that money to contribute to charities? They can hire somebody that c

I'm too lazy to read the article (hey at least I'm honest), but I think you can have a working science/news with plagiarism. In our western culture everything is egocentric. You work hard to be remembered for milenia for wond

We should be able to trust what's displayed as a caller (stolen unlocked smartphone is a different problem). It doesn't seem that hard. It's not rocket science. I don't understand why we don't have that yet.

Then you're on a slippery slope of judging the intentions (which is what we are doing nowadays, but I don't think we should be). Intentions are muddy. Decisions and actions just come to us and it's later that we invent a stor

Side project at work is a different thing. I do recommend them (at home), but that's irrelevant. It's irrelevant, because if coding is something you love doing, you will have many side projects and enjoy them not caring all that m
