Can you point out some "hive mind" ideologies here on HN?

I think we actually strike a pretty good balance. There are clearly large contingents of Apple, Google, and Microsoft fans/employees, all of whom tend to balance each other out. Then there is a large group of younger civil libertarians/libertarians as well as a large group of liberals. And then there is a large group of older, traditional "MIT-style" hackers.

I guess that there is some technophile group think that goes on, and it's true that among the SV contingent, there's a certain amount of ignorance about the state of the country outside of Silicon Valley. But all in all, I think there are enough counterbalancing ideologies and interests here on HN that the hive mind tends not to occur to the same extent as on subreddits, which are by definition single-interest groups.
But its screen is <13". Not really an apt comparison. I'd think the T450s would be a more suitable alternative.

I can switch cities, but I don't understand why I have to. Is it not possible to show everything all at once on the map?
I don't think perjury is an enforceable solution because there is no way to prove that you knew that the claim was invalid. "It seems I was mistaken" or "I disagree with the court's decision" is an iron-clad defense.
IIUC, the X1 is the "business-lite" line - the T4XXs are the ultrabooks with ethernet, docking ports, and (at least on
my T431s) a VGA port. They've just decided there's a market segment that prefers a thinner laptop without an ethernet port.
Twitter is a for-profit US corporation. If you have enough money they will literally do anything you want, as in this case. In my opinion, if they need to update their terms of service in order to make that easier they certainly will do so either after they take action or immediately before.

I don't think there's any reason to expect Twitter to honor the right to free speech as described in the US constitution as they aren't associated with the US federal or any US state government. Any management of content on the site will be done only to the extent that it benefits Twitter monetarily.

In my opinion, there's no good reason to expect anything different.
Sources of funding vary widely for people with PhDs. If you have a PhD in a scientific field, especially from a place like MIT, the money is in defense, energy, and medicine. You might work for companies like Exxon-Mobil, or iRobot, or a National Laboratory.

Research at Universities is funded by the government and industry as well as by student tuition. The more promising the research (or the more persuasive the PI), the more likely it will be funded. And in science, it's quite common for the PhD to have been funded by those grants to begin with.
How do you know they do not have the book? Is it a Unique Item?
To clarify: that only goes for the inflation beyond the expected inflation. The expected inflation is priced into the interest rates. The current level of inflation of the dollar does not amount to a tax on savers.
I do the same thing with var me.

Another way is jQuery.proxy(), though that works best for calling a method with the correct context.

when you play the game of code you play a demonic St. Petersburg martingale. you start with one time period. flip the coin- heads, you finish. tails, you double the time period. at the end of that time period, flip it again: heads, you finish. tails you double the time period again. and so on: the expectation is infinite.

Nobody studies for it since nobody knows they will take the test. It is marked as a blank spot on their calendar and people gets surprised when a test gets handed out. Then they quickly forget they ever took a test since so much happens in the first days of new students.
To author, nice app. You handled few of the edge cases for ideas submission. Kudos.

I think you should add email option where a subscriber can get a mail every day about the most upvoted ideas. This way it'll be more collaborative. You can open up a discord server where people can discuss all the submitted ideas.

Also you need to add spam protection when someone added an idea. I just added an idea with text: "BLA BLA....". Prevention from spam and Bot protection will helps.
This comment should be pinned every time this topic hits hacker news. People are out here getting scammed by these hiring managers!
Interestingly enough, the blog author skips over the modern concept of Humanism as applied and mixed into Rationality.

I was pleasantly surprised by the actions of the newspaper, New Humanist -- it is a Rationalist publication but mixes in Intersectional analysis seamlessly to provide quality journalism without accidentally moving towards the "Nazi" or "Racist" side of the spectrum as many other supposedly "Rationalist" newspapers do, by acknowledging that at a certain point it is not appropriate or rational to implicitly support these ideologies through trying to obtain a purely "Rationalist" understanding of the world, and that one's own rational understanding must be tempered by learning from the experienced of the systemically oppressed, otherwise you risk eliminating them from the "equation", and your consideration.

It's a very worthwhile newspaper to read, it is high quality and I cannot recommend it enough.

> I’m happy someone is pursuing these questions, but I don’t find the contemplations of these extreme scenarios to be particularly enlightening.

Indeed.

As a final note, it is worth it to know that Scott Alexander only decided he disliked the article from the NYT, not when he found out they were going to "out" him, but when he realised it was going to have a critical lens! Highly amusing!
> If you think the whole world of IT works on bleeding edge tech, you're mistaken.

Unfortunately HN attracts the very vocal minority...
True but usually you have multiple documents, testimonies and material facts that you can compare for that simple reason that human memory fails. Some people say it was 100 meters on the left and some others it was 300 meters to the right etc...

Also we know about other death camps - Sobibor, Plaszow, Treblinka - that they have evolved with time, procedures changed etc. With little material documents, lack of victims testimonies and lacking archeological research historians know way less that they would like to...

Auschwitz is very well documented and there is plenty of testimonies. But Treblinka, Belzec and Sobibor less so...

> The lack of viable witnesses who could testify about the camp's operation is the primary reason why Bełżec is not well known despite the enormous number of victims.[8] Israeli historian David Silberklang writes that Belzec "was perhaps the place most representative of the totality and finality of the Nazi plans for Jews".

Since a year or so ago, I use streamlit in almost every situation I previously used jupyter and enjoy working with versioning, a real ide, etc.

I dont see how this project breaks from that though. It looks pretty useful for quickly visualizing information common in computer vision. What "does not see your way"?
why does it feel like i'm seeing more rust game engines than actual games? (outside of toy 2048 clones)
Based on a report published on August 21, 2014....
My old University in the US charges in state students 7,000$ per year for tuition 2014-2015 it's 10,200/year out of state.

Plenty of people come up with most or all of that as working students. And one of my roommates came from Europe because it was cheaper than any school in his country though this was a while ago.

My little sister got into a school that charges (ED: 43.2k tuition/year 2015-2016) which she wanted to go to. But, decided to go somewhere else for obvious reason. Some collages in the US charge a lot because they can find students willing to pay that much money, but there plenty of reasonable options.

Misleading title.
Are you sure they compile to native? IIUC they use JavaScriptCore on iOS, which currently doesn't JIT. Probably good enough to drive UI and you can implement performance hungry stuff in native code.
For me, this year, it was using GPUs for numerical computing. I know that has been growing for years, but it seems like this is the year when it finally exploded: I work for in geophysics and the AGU (American Geophysical Union) conference last month had dozens of papers on using GPUs.

It's easier than it looks to get started - go to AMD or Nvidia and download their software, which includes demonstration code. Then hack the demos.

I wrote a summary of the basic ideas used in OpenCL at http://acooke.org/cute/APractical0.html (but there are also many more online).
I agree. Think their price point is too expensive for most healthy consumers, so they are currently positioned for people who have a significant need to use them.
(Standard disclaimer: my opinions, not my employer's. Not representing anybody else. I work at Google, not on these projects.)

Most googlers who are also engineers can find out what most of these things are, and I would expect many are already aware of what those projects are likely to be. It is a core part of our culture that we share information openly within engineering, and don't leak it.

We can't tell you what's happening. That doesn't mean we don't know.
Nope. You need to show a males private parts. You know they were having a fap fest over at GHCQ.
Nothing is perfect. We use DigitalOcean Droplets because they're more bang-for-buck than AWS EC2 instances, especially if you're doing a lot of disk IO. However, even though it's more expensive we use AWS S3 instead of DigitalOcean Spaces because it's faster, more reliable, and replicated automatically. I wrote about these decisions recently here:

If I put 6 feet tall on the dating site wit all the same info there was a dramatic increase in interest. Disappointing but no surprise. I'm fine with my height but it seems dating sites are not the place for normal people.
Bloat can be mostly ignored, inconsistencies can not.
I've used Notepad++ and Sublime Text and like them a lot, but I could really use something that can run on a Raspberry Pi too. I guess I should have included that. Being able to use a single text editor across platforms would be terrific.

I prefer Atom.io over VSCode for simplicity. It's much closer to working the way I want out-of-the-box. There's so much junk I have to disable in VSCode to get it where I like.
I don't think it's how smart the computer is that annoys people. It's that people want a moment to see and think about the board after their move, before the opponent's move.
Business and personal are slightly different use cases, for personal you can simply do the migration suggestions provided above.

For business, you may not want to burn a lead channel - it's up to you, but you could segregate the two and not share personal stuff on WA.
I disagree. The constitution says that state electors elect the president, not the people. They did just that. The election is now legally binding, whether there was widespread fraud or not.

Yesterday, Trump still had an unlikely but legal way to prevent Biden from becoming president. Today he does not, so it makes no sense to push any further.
This appears to be a "paid for" solution ... is that right? Also, it says:

So, no Linux, by the looks of it. Or browser.

But I've put it on the list ... thanks.
If you study both brands, you'll understand Circle isn't a competitor.
One issue is that I think Oracle forced package renames and, afaik, there’s no compatibility layer available for packages that expected the old Class Names. To my mind, this sort of defeats the purpose of the JVM’s universally unique symbol names.
What are those? I thought Rust was finally stabilizing and stopped so many rapid fire changes.
In a country of 1.4B not everyone is going to agree which is evident in US w/only 1/4 of population. Chinese are free to immigrate elsewhere if the choose to do so.

Chinese citizens elect leaders at local level who in turn elect those above them and this continues to the highest levers where only the most competent rise to the top.

Communism is a misnomer when applied to China. It is no more communist than US is a democracy. In fact in many ways China is more democratic than US whereby it's govt of 90M+ members more accurately represent interests of Chinese society.
Ack yr thoughtful reply. Thank you. Will read in full, and maybe respond.
Could put up a torrent. I'd certainly seed that.
That and for someone "who loves to write," he really ought to invest in a copy of Strunk and White. It can't all be short, terse sentences, my man! Definitely furthers the impression he's not completely all there.
I’ve had a lot of success with Dask lately. It’s comparable to spark in some ways [0]. Being written in python and built on top of pandas/numpy it allows much more flexibility. It’s also easier to get adoption from data scientists who are usually more comfortable with python than scala. It also has great tools built on top of kubernetes making deployment quick and easy [1].

> It even includes currencies. "sudo units_cur" will update the exchange rate data file, if you need that.

Doesn't work for XDR. Of course, who needs XDR? I sure don't. But you can get the XDR exchange rate with this command:

curl -d '__EVENTTARGET=lbnTSV' POST -v https://www.imf.org/external/np/fin/data/rms_sdrv.aspx

Maybe someone should integrate that into units_cur.

GitHub certainly has wikis, I often use project wikis to document various bits and bobs.
I don't see the contradiction. In fact, Donald Knuth's simplified proof[0] phrases it exactly[1] the same way as GP:

> Theorem. Any set H of 2ⁿ⁻¹+1 vertices of the n-cube contains a vertex with a least √n neighbors in H.

[0]: https://www.cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/papers/huang.pdf

[1]: Or almost exactly. The only difference being that Knuth's version does not make any assumptions on the set H (apart from its cardinality).
They are writing code and want to to be available for other people to download, use, and suggest changes. The obvious thing for them to do is have a publicly available repo. If not hosted by GitHub, GitLab, or someone else, then how else would they accomplish that?

You can have real Python scripting with xonsh. It combines Python ness and shellness very nicely.

I agree that fish is a sweet middle ground spot.
On that page you write that “you _can_ use oil in production but ...” which sounds like you recommend against it.

Later you write that oil is best for automation and fish is better for interactive usage.

This got me confused. Do you recommend that I run fish in my terminal, rewrite my one liners to oil when they outgrow their one line, but use bash in production?

With that being said I really appreciate how honestly you write about the limitations of oil and benefits of competing shells. Few project seems to be as open minded about their competitors and aware of their own short comings as oil, which in my opinion is what you want out of something you put your trust in.
I hadn't heard of Fossil before so I looked it up. There is a good hn discussion from a while back about Fossil vs Git [1] and the associated article [2]

Solid. Mind if I sum it up?

Coding is a means, not an ends.

Working hard is easy. Working smart is hard.
I saw that too and I wondered how they accomplished that. Can a commercial grade line be tweaked produce more automotive grade parts? Or were they forced to take down entire lines and retool them? If so, that would definitely have... repercussions.
It makes a little more sense in context to me. The verbose Verb-Nounish works because the verbs are designed to be limited. E.g. there's Remove- but no Delete- in the standard (shown in `Get-Verb`). So you can then press ctrl+space after typing Remove- and see all the different types of things you can remove. Too many, so you can filter to Remove-<prefix>* etc. The verbosity of cmdlet names when using it as a shell is mitigated with the aliases (e.g rm), and the parameters by accepting any case and shortening to anything non-ambiguous (e.g. `rm -rec -fo`).
I guess the capitalisation comes from C# or .net's casing? I like PascalCase for it's great readability/conciseness tradeoff over others, and it's standard windows case-insensitive so I've never had a huge issue with it.
People love kicking systemd for its sprawling nature and yet here you can see multiple people saying that `sudo systemctl hibernate` just works™
Personally I just picked up a Apple refurbished 2019 16” MacBook Pro - there’s still no M1X 16” model and there’s plenty of tools that don’t work on the arm Macs just yet (not that I don’t think Apple’s Herculean efforts with Rosetta 2 don’t solve the issue for MOST users).
The pillar experiment from the paper isn't fully explained in the article. The instructions stated "You may alter the structure however you want".

The experiment was run with two groups, both of which were given equal costs on addition – "Each piece that you add costs ten cents". There was also a group given a 'subtraction-cue' where the instructions mentioned that "removing pieces is free and costs nothing". Increase from 41% to 61% use of subtractive method.

There was a cost to addition, so the optimal solution for both groups was removal of the pillar.
> They also die a lot this way.

Well that article shows a total of 78 animal deaths over a three year period. Out of 1,244,401 animals transported.

So a percentage of 0.0063%, which I'm not sure qualifies as "a lot".
This reminds me of my first experience with (DEC) Unix at JHU. I had been a VMS user, so when I logged into the unfamiliar system I typed in "help." The JHU site admin had helpfully set the output of the help command to be, paraphrasing, "I see you know nothing about Unix, please talk to the staff member." He told me, "oh, in Unix help is spelled man." Obvious!
It is $20 every other Wednesday. It has cost 10K over the course of a year. Not exactly a way to get a lot of cash.
Yes, for the same reason people have the right to prohibit you from consuming certain substances before driving: you don't have a right to put other people at substantial risk of harm.
Pretty dubious that they started blocking this. The availability of alternative DNS systems makes it harder to censor domains.

>In Q1 of 2020, only 28% of new employees lived outside of California. In Q1 of 2021 to date, 58% of our new hires are from outside of the state.

This has huge implications for California. The state of California is horribly mismanaged, but the tremendous amounts of money that is bought in by tech, covers a multitude of sins. However, if that money starts drying up, California will be in a world of hurt.
Well in my families case it was what ever the reverse of gentrification is. As the original owners died off in that neighborhood the neighborhood got worse and worse, more crime, less value, etc etc etc

There are benchmark results using a X68000. Random i/o is comparatively good (as one would expect), sequential large reads is just about 1MB/s. Still much faster than floppy disks and not too far of the theoretical maximum (5MB/s for SCSI-1).
If we aspire to one world, and that one world is going to be persecuting minorities, who's going to stand up and tell the whole world that it's doing it wrong?
> The most malware-y test-related piece of software I've had to install on my computer is Lockdown Browser, which requires to be run as root on macOS or Windows(!) (no Linux obviously), detects if its running in a VM, has a blacklist of processes that it forcibly kills and disables use of external displays and keyboards. I've heard that there's also a camera/microphone option but my professor didn't enable it.

That's one of the reasons I'm not opposed to app stores and "closed garden" ecosystems.

Want to run as root? Denied. Want to install your special snowflake driver? Nope. Kill processes? Never. Get a list of other running processes not started by your app? Absolutely not.

Don't want to comply? Roll your own devices.
“thanks to new proposals to scrap historically racist single-family zoning and legalize the widespread construction of fourplexes.”

Is anyone else tired of this type of lazy advocacy that labels something as “racist” in an attempt to support their agenda?
Naturally the 11900K performs quite a bit worse than the 10900K in anything which uses all cores, but the remarkable thing about the 11900K is that it even performs worse in a bunch of game benchmarks, so as a product it genuinely doesn't make any sense.
You missed the point. Even if Signal doesn't do the typical cryptocurrency scam behaviour, I now somehow need to try to explain to people why it is different to every other thing in the space that does act like that. On the face of it, if we assume that the inclusion of MobileCoin in Signal is completely benign, it's something that's never happened before.

Smoking causes cancer, but smoking these specific cigarettes won't. Do you see the problem with trying to describe such an absurd situation to somebody?

I would argue that for high-end servers, idle draw is a bit of a non-issue as presumably either you have only one of these machines and it’s sitting idle (so no matter how inefficient it doesn’t matter) or you have hundreds/thousands of them and they’ll be as far from idle as it’s possible to be.

AMD’s idle power consumption is a bigger issue for desktop, laptop, and HEDT.
