Didn't he "complete" the original series? Isn't that what Sandworms of Dune was? (Though he seems to keep mining side stories out the wazoo)

This doesn't seem to be a movie tie in. The character and vehicle design look different. It's likely a "well-timed" adaptation of the novel, similar to the recent graphic novel that was released in 2020, which emphasiz

Sure, I guess I wasn't being specific enough. Once of the reasons to use SHA-256 is because that's hard to do.

I mean, anything past 256 bits is going to have a collision, so that doesn't matter, but you're right that the entire point of a hash is that even if you know the hash, it's very very hard to find what the plaintext is.

What have bitcoin and blockchain achieved for the average person that makes them comparable to computers? I don't see it.

And any assessment calling Bitcoin and Blockchain on par with the greatest achievements in mathematics is suspect. Don't conflate Bitcoin with the underlying mathematical concepts that enabled them. Symmetric and asymmetric cryptogra

Democracy isn't about getting rid of government action. It's about enabling the people to control that action. These freedom convoys are protesting in an illegal way that disrupts people's ability to live their lives by blo

Spotify already paid him $100M to make his podcast inaccessible to people. Where was the concern then? If Spotify limiting Joe Rogan from post the podcast to other services was not a concern then, why is Spotify limiting what it hosts now

Baseless speculation, but maybe the guests are asking for their episodes to be removed so they aren't associated with the podcast?

Free speech has nothing to do with it. Spotify paid him a $100M to provide a product according to their terms. The idea that this is a free speech issue is ridiculous and makes no sense. If it was a matter of access to the content, what y

Do you have a source about HIV becoming less damaging? I haven't heard about that before.

Why haven't Democrats full-throatily supported legalization? I understand why Republicans haven't, but this seems so popular it seems crazy a major political party hasn't jumped on board.

Open source projects are not a good point of reference because by their very nature they invite external validation. If you are trying to steal $300M, you don't tell people before hand that you are going to do it. There also a differ

The problem the above posters are referring is not that they feel life is about money or even that most people feel life is about money. The problem is reliably telling the difference between people that feel that way from those that don&#

There are definitely parts users of HN that are not same, but the conversation is normally at auch higher level and most people welcome a different viewpoint instead of seeing it as an attack.

It could be interpreted that it'd be ok to ban eggs in other circumstances, certainly. The problem is that it's meaning is so ambiguous that you can't properly tell, especially when considering the arms they had at the time

I mean, maybe? But I don't really think so. Here's a list from IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls009003184/ Let's take a look at a few of the entry's from the 1970's that actually had pr

I think the other thing that is missing from this conversation is the bar of entry has lowered so much with modern CGI. Look at a YouTube channel like Dust[0], which has literally hundreds of sci-fi short films using CGI to tell stories. S

The example with the US military lying certainly demonstrates another issue with over valuing metrics - making sure you have good data. People who get wrapped around metrics also tend to not look at the data they are being presented. One

GDP is actually a great example. It's actually very easy to increase a country's GDP if that's the only thing you care about. You just borrow more money and then spend it. GDP is literally a measure of money changing hands

Stopping emissions stops climate change. If you aren't willing to admit that, why are you even talking about climate change.

I was responding to the above poster strictly on the idea that the majority of emissions is caused by 100 companies. That's strictly not true and equally irrelevant to the article. But, to directly respond to your argument. Yes, eatin

Much of the land being used is crop land to make animal feed, certainly not most but a considerable amount is. This is also assuming that the only goal is getting more farmland, when it would also be useful for things like conservation eff

According to the EPA [0], Agriculture, forestry, and other land uses make up 24% of global emissions, second only to electricity and heat production, suggesting trying to reduce emissions is going to take more than a single approach. [0] h

It seems like you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. You state you aren't trying to invalidate anything, but then you are saying people having different priorities than you are "deeply disturbing." Get over you
