> I live off grid, I have nothing but reliable systems here. Stuff breaks every single day

One of HN’s most important comments on this subject ever IMHO
Honestly, with the quality of the pictures, it could be written in cursive French and I wouldn't be able to tell (I'm native French)

They have to post high resolution images.
I have to say, it's one of the funniest homepages I've ever come across.
> On February 15, during the power crisis, the state's Public Utility Commission required ERCOT to set the price to the $9,000 maximum. The commission reasoned that the trading prices for energy (as low as $1,200) were inconsistent with the supply scarcity.

Huh??
I do this where I can. Unfortunately lots of newer music increasingly doesn't offer the option of a physical copy, or physical copies are produced only in limited numbers.

The other trend I've seen a bit is digital and streaming releases, with a vinyl physical release, but no CD version. I mean, fine, whatever, if that's what the market wants I suppose.

I don't tend to mind too much if FLAC is an option (usually the case if available on Bandcamp), but it's pretty annoying when the only options are MP3s or streaming, which tends to be the case with albums only available through more mainstream distribution channels such as Amazon (I'm looking at you Dark Country album series).
This is cool, thanks for sharing! I have the following in my .inputrc which is in a similar vein (may be an anti pattern):
```
# F1, F2, F3 - calls alias1, alias2, alias3, helpful if you are executig the same ommands over and over
"^[ OP": "alias1\r"
" ^[OQ": "alias2\r"

```
> Hasn't this shown to have been un-true in the last 5 years?

Strictly speaking, no.

> Higher profits has not meant more money going around to workers.

That doesn't mean that lower profits don't reduce the maximum that can be distributed to workers, however. (The fact that the actual amount distributed hasn't historically increased when the maximum has is a different issue.)
Offline seems to be like HTTrack for Android (Which is a greatly idea, actually).
But how can you ignore the interest? If the interest drops to along with your salary, you won't have to pay the same nominal amount each year - which is exactly what's been happening in the EU.
>If a twitter user blocks another user, is the blocked user being censored because they can't speak to the user that blocked them? Is this infringing on their free speech?

Case law in the USA says yes https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/09/us/politics/trump-twitter...
Fully agreed ^
I've been trying to figure this out for the last few months..

Uber isn't THAT complicated on the technical side. The driver/rider matchmaking is simpler than algorithmic trading code I've worked on, and I'm happy to take 1% on a trade in that space, yet Uber and Lyft are helping themselves to 30% or more.

I was personally thinking it'd be great to offer an Uber competitor that aims for complete transparency with no frills, like the Craigslist to Uber's Amazon/Ebay. Maybe charge $5 + 5% for matchmaking the rider with the driver if they use the app for payment, or free if the passenger pays with cash. I've heard a lot of horror stories about Lyft charging riders surge prices while paying normal prices to drivers, various apps stealing tips, etc.

I haven't tossed my MacBook into my carpet bag and run back to my hometown just yet, though, since I assumed there must be some good reason this hasn't already been done. Maybe it costs Uber $500 to background check and onboard a driver, or they eat 10% in credit card chargebacks, or something else I don't understand since I'm just a code monkey
Or you can just say if you don't cancel by email you'll issue charge backs.
I have to use my VPN to get any sort of performance. My isp throttles the shit out of everything, but they're usually a couple months behind my VPN provider, and when they catch up I switch. I just want the fucking service I pay for without the doodlefuckery.
1. Improve the product (make Tweets editable for a period of time and things like that).

2. Run the service as if it was bound by the First Amendment (i.e. only illegal content should be removed, basically how every social network ran prior to a few years ago.)

3. Open source the ranking/spam code on GitHub and accept PRs.

He explicitly stated that he does not view it as a money-making opportunity. His goals are altruistic.

It may be hard for some (cynical people) to believe that someone would do such a thing but I believe he's completely sincere. He's got the $40 billion to spare and thinks it's important to humanity's ability to progress. I agree.

The only reason Zuckerberg gave up on free speech for Facebook was that he was scared of losing revenue. Musk isn't worried about losing the money, which means he can act out of principles rather than fear.

God I'd love to watch some movies where the developers win and kick those little NIMBY orphan shits out on their asses.
Not the same. The people wouldn’t’ve gotten shot in the first place. The idea with self driving is that it’s safer than a human, not that people will die regardless. So in your scenario, unless you’re just shooting everyone that walks by for some weird reason, and your turret is less accurate, it’s not the same.

Not arguing for either side.
A weird looking RV you can only rent, which includes access to a bunch of other bolt-on subscriptions.
- "What? We're surrounded? Surrender, immediately!"
Of course, beyond the fact that we used plants that survive in the weather here's a couple more:
1. We tilled the land (burying whatever dead plant material was above it), almost the entire lot. High temperatures tends to harden the top soil and therefore increase water run off during the rainy season. Tilling ensures higher water absorption when it rains.
2. We amended the soil just around each of the planted saplings with coconut coir and cow dung because the soil was really degraded, devoid of much organic matter.
3. The way we would plant each tree would be that the sapling at the center, with a depression in the soil around it followed by a small bund around the depression, and some hardy shrubs/ground cover on the bund. During the rainy season, this collects a lot of water and retains it for the roots for a longer time, and once the dry season kicks in, even if there's no water at the surface, the shrubs around the bund kind of prevent direct sunlight from hitting the ground, thereby retaining moisture even in the dry season.
4. For the first year we had to ensure we water the plants till they take root and can sustain themselves, especially during the summer. We couldn't set up a drip irrigation system, nor could we flood the surface with water. We instead buried clay pots in the ground around the plants and would fill them with water regularly during the summer. The clay pots release water slowly into the ground throughout the day, and since the pots were covered with a lid after filling up, water loss to evaporation was minimal. The plants would get water directly at the roots in a slow and steady manner.
I use my Nissan LKA all the way to maybe Colfax. Beyond that I'm skeptical any modern system can tolerate the relatively tight turns and varying road conditions even in the summer. Still, getting 2+ hours with LKA is really helpful.
The M1 laptops already have Thunderbolt 3 which is 40Gb/s and actually faster than PCIe 4.0 x16 (only ~35Gb/s).

Also these laptops have 8 CPU cores (4 high performance, 4 high efficiency) and 8 entirely separate GPU cores. It's a powerhouse of multiprocessing, especially when you consider it's in a laptop that gets 20 hours of real battery life.
The southern hemisphere is a large area, stretching from Kenya, to Australia, to Antartica. Tempature is also affected by distance to the sea/ocean.
Why do you think adblockers are immoral? Genuine question, not trying to stand on some moral high ground, just curious of your opinion, is all.
You generally get in touch with a buyer directly to book inspections.

We might develop something to make that a little easier though, so thanks for the suggestion.

We definitely don't expect anyone to buy a house without seeing it!
Yeah, but you seem to be under the impression that the other countries have fewer inmates because they are poor? Really?

How about Germany which has 95 inmates out of 100.000 people? [1]

Its a different medium from real life hence the different mental model (You don't go around poking people in real life but there it is on facebook right?)

Think of it as a public discussion about the article and when someone 'likes' a comment, they're just nodding in approval ... which does actually happen in real life.

Lots of head nods just means you're winning over the crowd.
Hmmm - we had kept it like that to be focused on the seller - there's more buyer info under the "buy" tab. We hadn't considered the "traction" angle. I'll bring it up with the others - thanks!
I kinda like the artifacts on that :-) You weren't kidding about the impact on pitch tracking; and yet it's remarkable how subtle nuances of timbre and intonation remain, particularly on the woman's voice. I'm still wrapping my head around the n-dimensional vector quantization - it seems to me like some of the techniques you have refined for this codec would have more general application for things like time stretching and noise fingerprinting.

Thanks for sharing your insights with us, as well as all the fine work you guys have been doing for many years. You're very generous. PS: I can't recommend that video highly enough - there are things in there that took me years to pick up the hard way, and the presentation is great too. Looking forward to more!
Thanks - here's hoping they'll accelerate in the new year!
>>so they keep the 10% to cover their risk.

The bondsman doesn't simply absorb the 90% loss if you skip, that's where Boba Fett comes in. I believe if the bondsman's bounty hunters catch up to you before the police do, he gets back the money that was put up.

Want to make a long bet? You're counting on enough economic activity in the suburbs to drive the growth needed to revamp urban planning in those areas. With an aging populace in the US, we're hard pressed to pay for our existing obligations, let alone rebuilding communities on a massive scale.
I m not sure if github is blocked, i m pulling repos right now from Bangalore.
Hearing David talk about "... the mind being an excellent servant, but a terrible master... " and then talk about adults who commit suicide "... it is not a least bit coincidental, that adults who commit suicide with firearms, shoot themselves in the head. They shoot the terrible master ..." sadly sounded like his own eulogy. The script of that talk is so lean. It wastes no words and tries to paint a specific picture for all in the crowd. I wish I heard it some time ago when I graduated in 2006.
"RubySpec is far from The Only Solution"

you're right, but I remember learning quit a bit of ruby by working through RubySpec back in the day. and I remember liking how well structured, logical and organized the suite was, very exemplary. so I'm sorry to see it go. I have no perspective on Brian or the mri devs so I can't say anything about the situation around it, I just liked the code and spec and found it very well done.

It would certainly be nice to have such a ruby specification and test suite that was endorsed by ruby community at large (unlike what I saw in those example MRI tests).
A patch of nature like that will support a cat or two. You just don't see them, feral cats are really like ghosts.

I am not prejudiced because I am educated on the subject. I am therefore biased, at worst.

>Clinical Psychology has very little data in its favor.

This is borderline nonsense. Clinical psychology is the study of psychological pathology. It generates data, it doesn't require data in support of it.

>while biology-based approaches have had some success in certain areas, they aren't the same field, and I'm not sure that validates Clinical Pyschology.

They most certainly are in the same field. You clearly don't know what you're talking about on this point.

For the record, Lutus's essay, being fraught with half-truths and strawmen, is entirely unimpressive. If you are sincerely interested in understanding the value of psychology as a science, I suggest taking a closer look at its current state rather than a highly selective sampling of the most embarrassing examples that claim the title.
Getting people to actually pay you for something is hard and fraught with uncertainty and danger.

Just to be more explicit about these dangers and uncertainties:

- It takes time to set up a payment system, and it's not
nearly as fun as building the app in the first place
- When you start charging, you take on responsibility for
the app, and supporting users
- If no one buys it, you've wasted the time and money you
put into setting up the payment system

Visual studio is free: http://www.microsoft.com/express/Phone/
By that reasoning, piracy doesn't benefit movie studios, either--if it did, movie studios would encourage it. Which means the analogy still stands.
African Americans and Asians Americans are people. I heard that Finland has people (though I'm not really sure). So, their school systems seem comparable. Because after 1st generation immigrants, race is more linked to identity within a society.

Asians perform better on tests when they are reminded beforehand of their heritage because it reinforces their own stereotype of themselves. African Americans perform worse. There are racial subgroups in most diverse nations (including Japan) that have the same effects going on, despite the fact that to a foreigner there would be no appearance on

But to say that in some way African Americans are "comparable" to people in Africa, or to say that of non-1st-generation Asian immigrants, doesn't really seem fair.

Frankly, on a more personal note, I found this analysis to be structurally unsound.

What I take away is that America spends more money on its schools than any country vs. Luxembourg, but doesn't have the highest test results. So throwing money at the problem may not be the right way to fix it. Or it may have some impact, but its going to be like running water through a leaky fire hose.

We haven't developed the right educational system yet. A lot of smart people are working on this issue, and probably the right solution is to throw more money at them specifically.
Cool, though when HTML5 drop-from-desktop is completely and consistently implemented, this sort of functionality won't even require an extension.
Based on race alone? I can understand culture being an important factor. But not race.
I think it was unfair. He tried to name every single little step for the Android one, and then he just threw together all the WP7 steps into one step, and he even skipped a few..like I don't know...downloading Visual Studio?!

His comparison is hilarious.
The lies go on because the establishment media is paid to do propaganda for establishment big business.

Jeff Bezos owns Washington Post. The biggest companies own the media distribution channels, Disney, google, facebook, etc.

Think about that fact when you see all the people being censored and deplatformed.

Think about why the establishment media shouts out racism 24/7, when using anti trust to break up big companies will help all races by improving their economic status?

Why is establishment media fermenting animosity amongst the lower classes, while the establishment people are getting richer by the second?
This ought to be as big a scandal as FUD from the tobacco or oil and coal industries.
Exactly. Here is another point in case: Go to the website of whichever body governs nutrition in your country (or the WHO) and see what they recommend and why.

There is no global conspiracy against red meat, it's simply our current scientific understanding.
It is still contaminated because the half live is 30 years. After 35 years it is half as strong. In 350 years it will still be contaminated but it would have halved 10 times.
During COVID, my usage pattern is directly correlated to the weather. When it's raining, there are very few alternatives to sitting on the computer.

No, sympathomimetics like amphetamines cause neurotransmitter release in addition to be reuptake inhibitors.
Correct, because it's all pretty much low-quality content by most standards.
Indeed. I look at the effort required to get a teeny tiny solar powered helicopter to Mars, and while the achievement itself is noteworthy the difficulty in doing so is illuminating. Dreams of human colonization of Mars are largely coping mechanisms to help with the fears that arise when considering the very real apocalypse humanity faces.
It’s also in the K&R book IIRC, stating that the two are equivalent.
Most likely reason is that there is no clear return on investment for throwing resources at building a colony on Mars - so what politician is going to choose to spend money to make life possible on Mars when it could be spent (or the taxes not raised) down here?

NB I don't think private capital would ever be enough to get a self sufficient colony started.
"Pointer arithmetic" takes care of that. Adding an integer to a pointer will multiply the size of the type pointed to by the integer and adds that to the pointer.
Given that exact same choice, if I was looking for a job, I would unashamedly and gladly take Facebook over Google.

That's like saying "The government stole my car from the valet who was driving it without a license". Mt.Gox knew they needed a license, that's been made extremely clear. The only reason they are still operating at all is because Japanese authorities are asleep at the wheel.
Seeing that big heavy box and screen brings back some memories although ours was monochrome. Very impressive accomplishment.
I have always used single quotes for Python code since I start working with it. When I started to adopt Black on my projects it indeed felt weird and the code looked unpleasant. But after a while you get used to it.

Some people make the case that it's easier to write single quotes (well, depending on the keyboard format anyway). For keyboards in the US standard you have to hold the Shift key to write a double quote. But the good thing about Black is that you can still write your code using single quote and when you run the command line utility it will fix/normalize the code to use double quotes.

Nowadays I got so used to it that I even write my Python code using double quotes. And looking at Python code using single quotes looks weird/unpleasant for me.
This is off-topic a bit but something on my mind lately is this: there are known mechanisms for making a corporation accountable to something other than management profit, so why don't places use them? B incorporation, employee cooperative profit sharing arrangements, and so forth.

Maybe I'm overly cynical at this point in my life, or maybe it's just because I'm just unfamiliar with this stuff, but it seems like if places really wanted to prioritize something other than raw profit they'd do so. All this other stuff seems like rationalizations to me sometimes.

I don't want to come across the wrong way; I think there's a lot of good that can come from focusing on the bottom line. I just sometimes feel like greater diversity of organizational mechanisms would make the world a better place.
Seems like a bug to me. The first word of the last puzzle starts with the C, not the V.
2002 called, they want their hot take back.
Rust is built to be 100% memory safe, not just "hard to misuse in practice". Of course the claim comes with some provisos about how you're always relying on 'unsafe' code, but there is real value to it. Zig is interesting but doesn't have that USP.
I think the point is, we are even further. In terms of progress, time, support, and aptitude. We've witnessed that even in a more immediate and clearer emergency (i.e., millions of people dying), large swaths of society rejects facts or are not willing/capable to think long-term or at a global level
OK I think I've fixed this. Please take another look if you can.
I don't understand why you think profit is a bad thing.

Ignoring broken markets like in the case of monopolies (and my company is a small one--definitely not a monopoly!), profit means you're creating value. People are willing to pay you more money than something costs to produce. That's a good thing for everyone involved. It creates jobs, customers are happy, and investors make money.

"Profit" isn't just a bunch of extra cash that gets buried in the ground. It goes back to shareholders (again, ignoring outliers like Apple which horde cash...) and gets reinvested in other profitable enterprises creating even more value.
Psilocybin has the opposite of a numbing effect. It increases emotional sensitivity.
I'm piecing it together too. This is my understanding: the "model" has a set of rules (add, divide, bit shift) and that they do funky encrypted actions (add by making every third bit flip or something). If you run all of these actions in place of what you'd normally do (ie, just add like normal), then return the product, it can be decrypted as a result of the functions ran on it.

I might be wrong though.
Gay people can get married in America, which was completely unthinkable a generation ago. 100% due to activists, many who risked their lives to make it happen.
This isn’t much different than the truck commercials with contrived pulling “demonstrations” that Ford, Chevy/GMC, and Dodge have peddled for years. Good on Elon to troll them a bit.
