News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

You're giving them too much credit. There is zero critical thinking happening.
Given that they are dedicated to causing chaos in the midterms, how is it best countered? Whisper campaigns to tell all your friends to vote in person? When he loses, what stops him from putting troops in the streets? Is the recourse just wait until he goes? We all see what's happening, how do we meet the moment?
Feels like you'd just need a former employee who was in an engagement engineering meeting.
what about hydrogen or helium to extend battery life?

Question, can we spoof a fingerprint to be random and valid each time?

I would have really liked to have a temporary node to test the outputs. Better than that, I would have liked to see the truth table update in real time without running the tests.

Re:Show HN: Heynote – A Dedicated Scratchpad for Developers on Friday December 22, 2023 @03:03PM (#38738011)
The idea of Pages/Tabs would be useful to me. I'm a bit of a scratch-pad hoarder. I currently have 200+ notepad++ documents open.
The mindset I use is to believe (without evidence) that a solution exists. That allows me to see solutions faster because I'm not fighting with myself.

Put yourself into the world where the solution exists.

Another thing to consider is that while a utility function may exist, completing as fast as possible may not a requirement. Waiting until biological life is no longer feasible before proceeding to fully optimize the utility function would allow us to both coexist.

How about this.. China tries anything, and we repatriate Chinese-owned real estate in the western world, and give it to the displaced Taiwanese people.
maybe gang members make great cops, you don't know.

> If our government was elected based on a "one person one vote" principle, Republicans would be nearly guaranteed to lose the presidency and Congress.

They are playing a game to win the electoral college, expect if it were popular vote they would play a different game with different policies

I want to respectfully disagree. Being present in the moment is not a result of valuing attention, but instead about letting the conversation about the past and the future go. About dropping the fears that were created in the past; the same fears that have us worry about the future. It's about letting go of fears and expectations. Letting go of the meaning we assign to the past and future. About really choosing the perspective that we wish to view the present through, rather than being at the effect of the stories we make up about the past and future.

Tell HN: HN clicked links are a not great experience

I routinely want to revisit clicked links on hacker news. The gray color of clicked links is too close to the color of the details and causes me to always (without fail) scroll past the link of interest. To me, it is by far the most frustrating thing about the website.

Have you considered what it would take to achieve your goals without the use of money? Give it some thought, I was surprised to find it was possible.

Is it legal to start an auction to sell an exploit, never close on it, then use that as the price point to negotiate a bounty?
Re:Olbers' Paradox on Saturday December 12, 2020 @03:34PM (#25401457)
This doesn't make sense to me. They're assuming that brightness is a continuous function that you can keep dividing in half over and over and result in a real number, but brightness is not continuous, at a certain point you only have one photon left. It stops being a question of how many photons per second and becomes a question of how many seconds between a photon.

It would be best if the thumbnails were bigger, and I could read a description of the visualization without leaving the page. I perceive opening the link as fatiguing.

Maybe a biweekly email featuring a visualization would be neat too.

In my opinion your links are hard to differentiate.
