The game / sport of trying to max out fuel efficiency (even with gas only cars) is known as hypermiling.

Drums are HARD, man! Drums are the second hardest instrument I've ever learned (the hardest was pedal steel, which kicked my ass. I gave up on it after realizing I'd need to spend three years or so as my primary instrument in order to gain real competence).

I love the pull back and forth to set the feel of a band, too. One band I'm in has an odd effect... in most bands, one person tends to be the timekeeper (usually but not always the drummer), and the rest of the band follows her. But in this particular band I'm in, time-leading rotates - three of the four members can be the timekeeper, depending on the song.
Everything I've been able to find about valerian says that the effect is basically placebo. I got a bottle of (big-ish smelly and brown) valerian pills one time, really didn't do anything for me.

> leftists make the mistake of thinking that intent == outcome.

That’s a common mistake for people of all ideological stripes.

> "If we tax the rich more, then the government will have more money to spend on social services and the rich will have less money and therefore less power".

The fiscal myth is increasingly unpopular on the left (and even starting to fall out of favor in the center-left, hence the rise of MMT). So, no, largely and increasingly leftists don’t think this way even if they mistake intent for effect.

> Adding a new rule changes the game but often not in the way you intend.

The “Law of Unintended Consequences”, while it relates to a real phenomenon, is both dramatically overstated and not meaningful as a rebuttal of any particular idea. If you want to rebut the argument that a specific proposal to increase high end taxes (not the generic concept which you then massage into a form most suitable for rebuttal) will not actually increase net revenues, you need a specific argument from the elements of the proposal, not a generic handwave in the direction of “sometimes changing the rules does something you didn’t expect”. Since, I mean, that can just as easily mean that it succeeds beyond expectations than that it fails, when the effect manifests at all.
It's quite hard to reliably determine human emotions. To quote David Ogilvy:

"People don't think what they feel, don't say what they think, and don't do what they say."
Which is probably why they’re avoiding the SEC at all costs.
Even though I enjoy work mostly I've learned to take a mental tally of the hours and stressful moments vs. pay. In my personal situation it seems to me that certain promotions aren't worth it. Basically I don't think its worth it to me to take on extra responsibilities that I'm not going to enjoy for a marginally higher compensation. That means I'll never be high up in the org chart but thats fine. Based upon what you are describing I'd decline the promotion and it may push them to negotiate higher compensation for the additional work.
That is one more reason why it should be supported in browsers where we have better understood ways to control this.
I was running fs_usage against the Spotify process in 2013. It was reading local files and sending data out to untrusted peers. It's okay that you think that is okay. I don't allow that on my machine.
This is true of other skills that seem magical. One that stands out to me as being learnable, but often seen as magical, is 'savant like' memory capabilities.

People assume that these people have different minds and that is how they have such incredible recall, but the truth is our memories are really strong when the recall is a spatial query and the object being recalled is encoded well. People mistake their short term memory for their actual memory and they often don't do the work of encoding and decoding their thinking to improve its compression properties. This leads to the impression that our memory capabilities are much worse then they are.

If you properly encode the memory into a spatial context you can have rather incredible feats of memory. It just takes work to do the proper encoding and decoding and the creation of spatial contexts in which to store the things you want to remember.

That happens often with things that seem magical. Edward Tufte had an amazing observation about magic that really sticks with me: magic is an art of misinformation wherein the objective is to hide the work that was done. Oftentimes magical things are things which take a lot of work, but that work is hidden.
Not sure of your end need, but if for personal, there’s some Google sheets formulas that will do this.
and no one should put real birthday lol. Birthday is mostly used for targeting ads.

This is why facebook can say to advertisers, "We mostly have young people using our service. So please put your money on our company"

And yes using account of 60-70 year old always receives less ads :D
Here in Mexico, in theory every person record that is leaked without the holder permission can get the company a $5000 fine. Given that this leak has at least 50,000 records from Mexicans, Facebook could be fined up to $250,000,000.

I don't understand why the government doesn't go for these type of things. On one side... it is easy money for the federation. On the other side, in a "personal" level for the bureaucrats, it is at least some good money they can keep corruptly.
> A drop-in-compatible replacement was available under GPL

So what? The question is whether what they did was fair use, and the Court held that it was. The availability of alternatives under other licenses isn't part of the analysis.
On the best of days I can make the students remember one, maybe two important points from a given lecture. The second I say Coq in class, the takeaway from that lecture is that the professor said Coq, not anything having to do with theorem proving.
Anecdote: I've been running my own Matrix bridges for WhatsApp and Signal (for my personal accounts) and they've been nothing but rock solid. Caveat being that with the pandemic I've exclusively used them at home, they're hosted on private infrastructure. It was a bit of a thing to set up, not being familiar with Matrix at all before, but now it's a docker-compose file.

To be clear, I send messages from my Matrix client to my Matrix server, software running on that server bridges it to WhatsApp/Signal as appropriate, same for incoming messages. Photos work as well.

I think WhatsApp relies on a data connection to your phone, and the bridge will disconnect whenever that drops. Having set this all up, I'm a pretty big convert to Matrix - just need to get the world on board. I'd love to have an SMS bridge as well, see how far I can go.
You don't even need mkcert -- Caddy does all that for you in a local environment, and keeps the certs renewed.
Update: New reporting seems to indicate that no USCP officers have died this day. Thank Heaven I am wrong in my parent posting.

That said, assaulting USCP officers may also be on the table, though I am completely unsure what the laws are about being an accomplice to such a crime may be. Such a crime likely includes less prison time.

EDIT: My word! Things are still moving fast and I need to reverse my reversal. Per the latest news reports, a USCP officer has died as a result of the insurrection:

I think the author is missing the point of the four hour work week mindset. It is not about building a unicorn; it is about freeing as much time for you to pursuit your interests while earning a healthy income.

That being said, I don't find the book overly ethical. It simply suggests outsourcing most of the work to developing countries, where people work for less.
>This is a widely supported populist movement

More than 80 million voted for Biden.

3+ Million more voted for Clinton than trump.

As far as populist movements go, trump lost both times.

He got the presidency due to Electoral Collage.

>The left should be careful about who they label as terrorist and insurrections. People generally don't admit to being wrong. And backing his supporters into a corner, by projection will not go well.

"We are huge in number. We will riot and tear down the capitol. The others need not interfere with us because we are dangerous and we will act." - Is this the gist?

Man, you are too eager to cast aside your country and countrymen because you only think about you winning.
Attempts to correlate genetic traits to IQ smacks close to eugenics to me and gives me a bad case of the weirds.
Proxomitron can also do "SSL upgrade" thanks to OpenSSL, and being a MITM is useful for the usual things like adblocking and custom page styling.

That said, an IE6 user agent connecting to a TLS 1.2-only site showing up in server logs is probably a source of amusement and perplexion for some...
What do you think is "too much functionality in one binary"? With Nomad I feel like the opposite is true: Nomad is just a workload scheduler. If I need service discovery I can add Consul, if I need secrets management I can add vault. Honestly curious by what you meant exactly and how Kubernetes does it better / easier.
I'll second this. My wife is also a teacher and every time I hear people talk about how little teachers work I want to scream. I don't know a single teacher that puts in less than 50 hours per week. In many schools teachers don't have any prep time any more and all lesson planning and other activities must be completed on the teachers own time. Summers aren't paid. Money spent in the classroom or on the students isn't tax deductible unlike damn near every other profession and their tools. Our school district doesn't have stipends, instead teachers provide a supply list and the school administrator determines what will be bought based on the available budget. Different schools have different budgets in many cases as some schools will qualify for extra federal funding via Title I for example. We have spent an average of 10% of my wifes yearly income on her classroom in each of the last four years ($3600). We also spend additional funds every year for my wife to attend continuing education or other training programs that she needs to meet her licensing requirements.

I'm often asked how we can possibly spend that much money on her class and it's a little bit complicated. While maybe $500 goes towards supplies such as pens, pencils, paper, notebooks, recorders and other basic implements we also spend money directly on the students. My wife typically buys every student a book for Christmas, we supply everything to holiday parties etc. Each year my wife spends another $500 or so on new wall hangings, new books for her library, teaching aids, resource books and more. The majority of the money however is spent taking care of the students in the most need. 100% of the schools students are on the free and reduced lunch program and the school is classified as Title II which means a dinner program is also provided to the neighborhood. Each winter we end up buying a large number of warm jackets, boots, gloves etc. In a neighborhood with 85% of the families living at or below the poverty level you wouldn't believe how much of a difference small amounts of help like that mean to the students and their families. My wife once had a student break down in tears when he received a winter coat. He told her that now his mom didn't have to worry about it and could pay the power bill. At Christmas we buy gifts (clothes) for the students that aren't included in the district wide program for the "underprivileged".

We certainly don't have to spend any of that money however my wife is there for the children and not for the money.
About packages and namespaces:

Package is essentially a collection that maps symbols to values. In CL packages have (at least) two namespaces: one for functions, other for any kind of variables. The reason for this is that when you write the form

(fun #'a b)

you and the compiler can be sure that 'fun' and 'a' are both meant to be functions. There are both advantages and disadvantages to this.

> What other country went from 0-super power in such a short time?

Maybe that's a point.

Though, here are some other examples of possible quick rises: Germany past 1971-unification? France after the Revolution shaked up the the country and dragged it kicking-and-screaming into the century of the fruitbat? Japan after its defeat in WWII.

And of course, if only rise to super power counts, look at Britain and how they started the original industrial revolution there.

(Though, what counts as "short time"?)

It's not ironic. Ho Chi Min was literally inspired by the United States. It's a tragedy that we (the US) and Ho Chi Min became enemies. I'm not a proponent of communism, but Ho Chi Min's Vietnam could have had great potential due to his charisma, knowledge and 'founder' status among his own people.
'Individual rights' in India? I would be pleased if you can point me to something (an event, a case won, etc.,) that highlights the fact that there's hope that eventually India would move towards respecting individual rights.
Yes. I occasionally take melatonin, which seems to improve the overall quality of sleep.

I also use blackout curtains, and back when I didn't have those, I would use a sleep mask.
Typically between 8 and 9 hours a night. I usually head to bed around 11:00pm, and my alarm goes off at 8:00am. So it just depends how much TV I watch in bed.
Forcing a HTTP to HTTPS redirect is a really bad behaviour.
It depends a lot on your physiology. A certain number of people need 8 or more hours to feel "good" when they wake up. You have to live with what you got :) Until someone invents some sleep supplements to cut down on sleep time or something.
You usually don't want RAW. The speeding up/slowing down of clock is a good thing.

Hardware clocks don't always tick at one second per second.
Any reason for that, other than lack of political will?
I live in the US and in NYC in particular. In the city, it is common to donate your goods by leaving them nicely on the sidewalk for others to take. I do this routinely and have picked up numerous pots and pans, books and a vacuum cleaner.

Many Libraries in the city have been closed for a year and the outdoor book drops have locks on them. Don’t need to be a lawyer to point out that the weather would have destroyed these books long before a librarian got to them. The library clearly was not accepting donations.

Early in my life I was taught that you shouldn’t do or say anything you wouldn’t want posted on a billboard. Me discussing this openly on HN isn’t much different I guess. You’ll notice my handle also reveals exactly who I am. No hiding for me.

To me (and I would argue to most reasonable people), there is a world of a difference between the circumstances under which I found this book and reaching into the book drop to take it. I would never have done that.
Gitea is a fork of Gogs which was a UI clone of Github. With a few years of UI changes neither is as close to looking like Github anymore.

Gitea isn't as full-featured as Gitlab, but it's so much easier to manage.
Well, certainly an anonymity flaw. Privacy is different than anonymity. Signal does not purport to provide anonymity. Anyone on the system can check for any other user by knowing their phone number. That tends to be the cost of the convenience of the automatic contact discovery provided by phone based messengers like Signal.

Anonymous messaging is an entire category by itself. It is a much more difficult problem. Fortunately, most people don't need anonymity, most of the time. I really don't care who knows that I am communicating with friends, family or the people related to my business. If anything, I care less that someone might find out I use Signal. If I encounter a situation where I need to be anonymous I can and will have to take special measures for a while. Temporary anonymity is relatively easy. The identity management is a cinch.

>NY should rescind the Stock Transfer tax rebates. They are losing out on ~$16 billion in tax revenue annually.

I wasn't the one that downvoted your comment but as fyi...

Increasing taxes doesn't automatically mean government gets increased revenue because the economic actors affected can _change_ their behaviors to circumvent that tax. So NYC probably would not get $16 billion in extra revenue.

E.g. An excerpt from an article[1] about that real life game theory playing out:

>In recent weeks, the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ have both discussed moving their data processing centers out of New Jersey in response to reports that New Jersey may impose a stock transfer tax. Technology has made processing trades away from New York’s physical trading floors simple, and the tax may provide incentive to shift stock transfers from one exchange to another. Nations such as Sweden and Germany experienced business relocation and diminished trading levels after enacting a stock transfer tax, subsequently leading them to repeal their taxes.

EDIT reply to : >They didn't have the political power to outright abolish it. What should happen now is that rebate should be removed.

Yes, you had already mentioned that proposal in your first message but your next message really didn't explain why stock owners and exchanges would simply pay the extra tax instead of changing their behavior to avoid the tax*.

> There are plenty of secluded lakes, channels, etc. that should be perfectly fine for this.

No there are not plenty. Sure 70% of the earth is covered in water, but only 2.5% is freshwater, and a fair amount of that is lakes large enough to have currents and large waves as well (I don't know how to figure out how much is stable enough that you could consider living on a boat there. I think we can estimate that 2% of the earth is the type of place where you could consider living in a boat - and much of that isn't a place where you want to live (ie not a city), and the rest needs to a lot of land reserved for shipping lanes.

Living in a boat is an interesting niche that a few people can do. However it isn't a solution for any housing problem.
This seems like an over-complicated non-solution. If your browser is trusting some other root, you can see that information in the browser. For example if I click the padlock for this site, and pick More Information / View Certificate, sure enough this is a certificate issued from DigiCert.

But also, it's basically game over if you agree to run arbitrary software other people pick, so that's where the real problem is for the African case you describe.
Okay with anything, really. We're paying money for this no matter if it's open or closed.

Thanks, will check it out :-)
That works until you encounter a concrete wall or solid telegraph pole.

It also is unfair to those you share the road with to embark on an arms race “who can afford the heaviest car”, if only because pedestrians and cyclists will always lose that race.
Oh you were talking about signing up for a developer kit. I thought it was something consumer facing.

In business settings it’s still pretty common to ask for a cell though, or so I thought.
I’m still not convinced that I’d give up a narrow central, symmetrical keyboard layout for a few extra keys I have to take my hands away from the home row to use.
One thing that could really hurt Tesla down the road is the new platform-architectures existing car-makers are coming up with. Pick-Ups in the US are one example, another one is the new Peogeot / Opel Corsa plattform in Europe. The latter one, while not a dedicated EV-plattform, is able to be used for both, EVs and ICE-powered cars. Granted, these small EVs are still rather expensive but offer a ton of extras and are with sibisidies under 35k €. Big bonus, they are produced at the same assembly lines as the big-volume ICEs. So once demand for EVs increases they can easily switch, with economies of scale these small EVs are becoming cheaper and scaling volumes won't be such a big issue neither. I guess the same can apply for pick-ups in the US. And than again, Tesla never had one single face-lift or model replacement behind them.

Said it before and I stick with it: It's a race between tesla coming up with a sustainable and profitable way to mass produce EVs before money runs out and incumbents figuring out the design of EVs that can be mass-produced at existing facilities. tesla had a huge head-start, but incumbents are catching up and the window of opportunity for Tesla is closing but not closed yet.
Yes, but assuming your phone is compromised, it can intercept the password and security key as you sign in, and take over your Twitter account. In fact if you use your security key to sign in to anything on your phone, the phone malware can use it to access any account linked to the security key (assuming the malware has your password). So even if you don't sign in to Twitter on your phone you're still vulnerable.

And even if you are already signed in to everything and think you won't ever need to sign in on your phone again, the malware can force a logout of something, and you won't be able to know if it was just some software update or expiration that signed you out. So you'll sign in again, and the malware will intercept your security key.

Quick heads-up: your HN bio is empty, I'd have no idea where to watch for them tweets :-)
But this is interesting!
There's a lot wrong with this law and certain interpretations thereof, and a lot of room to debate its appropriate reach, constitutionality, etc. But this particular objection -- that you don't need to "hack" to be prosecuted as a "hacker" -- seems strange to me, seeing as the law never uses the word hack [0]. It's not a "hacking" law, but a "fraud and related activity" law.

It refers repeatedly to situations wherein a person "accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access"; the law doesn't care if that access was gained through technically impressive means (sophisticated cracks based on zero-day exploits) or mundane means (an employee misusing access).
