Haha, thank you. MY email is in my profile, I would be glad to collaborate on going further on this.

You re right, it was mostly Claude being prodded to try creative approach though the base32768 idea was suggested primarily by the human.

Thats right. We use the browser color picker.
Ah thats a good idea.

If you click on the color pallette icon, that brings up a color picker and you can choose any hex.

Is it not obvious that the icons are clickable?

You click see the (?) icon to see the summary of the algorithm.

The tool generates unique, meaningful names for any RGB color using a combination of color properties. Every name is unique and reversible - you can convert any name back to its exact RGB color!

Thanks. Great ideas.

I am actually building it for my son to practise, so hopefully I will work on this for a while.

I remember this quote here,

“Do not count on the gratitude of deeds done for people in the past, you must make them grateful for things you will do for them in the future.”

Re:Show HN: Diagramify – Describe your diagram and get it on Tuesday December 27, 2022 @08:49PM (#34156539)
Could you tell me the instructions you gave and the diagram you got?

I am the author of this tool and I am trying to find out how people use it.

Is Mighty Browser (https://www.mightyapp.com/) what you are looking for?
Hi, yes thank you. We need to fix the years for which we do not have the data.
Also, the author did not spend two days. he spent 17 minutes and then did the math to calculate the block hash rate.

> Doing one round of SHA-256 by hand took me 16 minutes, 45 seconds. At this rate, hashing a full Bitcoin block (128 rounds)[3] would take 1.49 days, for a hash rate of 0.67 hashes per day

The Supreme Court of India declared the right to privacy a fundamental right under Article 21 - as the same level as right to life and personal liberty. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/08/indias-supreme-court-u...

This ruling was one the the landmark rulings in recent times, and a true David vs Goliath story - where a small group of privacy activists won against mandatory Aadhaar.

While it is true that right to privacy implementation remains patchy, there is growing awareness around privacy - both from government, and against large corporations. For example, half of my contact list is now on Signal and last week I had more chats on Signal than on WA.

Signal has reproducible builds for Android. https://signal.org/blog/reproducible-android/

Does that help in any way to verify that they do not store data on their servers?

There are geo based account bans. I have seen a few from India with a message similar to "This account has been withheld in India due to a legal request"

Example is this account: https://twitter.com/gurmeetramrahim

Re:The stock market is the cheapest since 1980 on Monday December 28, 2020 @12:58PM (#25561367)
Subtraction makes sense here as you are trying to find the excess yield of equity over dividend.

A yield of bond: 0.5, equity 4 vs bond: 1, equity: 4.5 doesn't change his argument, but changes the ratio significantly.
