If there's limited central bank intervention, it's usually the rich, to be honest. Even with the great depression, income inequality was worse before than after. A notable exception is the 2008 crash when bush was saying things like we must break capitalism to save it as an excuse to soak the banks and companies like GM and Obama certainly continued the stimulus policies that helped the wealthy.

As for the suffering, probably the social capacity to weather a depression is largely mitigated by technology. The 2008 recession was not far off from the great depression by certain metrics, but people were not starving in the street, because food (even unsubsidized food) is relatively cheap and has a predictable supply chain.

You and I both know that is misleading. Travel is the same whether you are in a moving plane or cramped fake one in a movie studio. It's the places.

Not at all. I don't know anything about Boeing in specific here, but:

Say that Boeing was short term focused over that time period but managed to do well, quarter after quarter, continuing to rise. It's possible that if instead Boeing had been long term focused over that time period, each many individual quarters would have been worse, but it could have a higher valuation now.

Of course, that's certainly not proof that they were long term focused, just that they weren't definitely short term focused.
If that's true, wow, that's some hostility towards newcomers.

Very wideband Zener noise sources are a common piece of measurement equipment; and many folks built their own noise sources (also for RNGs) using Zener junction breakdown. While building my own I needed quite a bit of shielding to avoid interference issues by RF sources (mostly HF fluoerescent lights and LEDs), so these sources might be susceptible to bias by EMI...?

Other junction breakdowns have noise as well, resistive noise is very low power. Atmospheric noise and background noise is a thing too, but I'd guess they are too susceptible to interference by malicious actors...
That breakdown makes a lot of sense to me, with bulk of the cost going towards the lens.
Are you saying that, using this app, I can get a prescription and order glasses online with it?

More specifically Fuchsia driver development. That's where it substantially differs, e.g. video drivers run in user space rather than being kernel modules.

For Chrome and Android apps, that's just a bunch of user space APIs/ABIs so it doesn't really matter what the kernel is if the abstraction has been really rigorous from the outset (in Chrome and Android).
Any guy who complains about their attractiveness being the limiting factor is relying too much on that. I've got a friend who is a handsome guy but is not "hot" and he's basically a hobbit, but he's gone on half a dozen or more dates trough Tinder and has no problem matching and talking to women because he's a funny and considerate and talented guy and it is obvious.

If you're having trouble with matches, maybe you aren't very interesting, or you don't signal it in the right way. Quit complaining and get to work.
It's terrible that you can buy expensive security camera systems that still store the data locally so thieves can steal the evidence too. Even an old cellphone with motion detection and a cloud uploading app might have helped identify the people.

For years I took your position, particularly since previous VCSen such as Subversion “just worked” and generally faded into the background. However after recently taking the time to learn Git internals, and after pulling out much hair as the guy tasked with figuring out wtf Git had done with the project’s history, or why it was necessary to clone a new tree and manually copy edits over from a seemingly totally broken original tree, I now see that you just can’t use Git without a deep understanding of what it is up to and why. Not that I agree this is the right state to be in as an industry: revision control can be, and was, an almost invisible useful service, but Git just isn’t that.
if it's not profitable, what they should do is raise the premiums, not subsidize it by operating it at a loss.

edit: downvoters:

i'm all for the government running a insurance program if nobody is willing to, but it shouldn't do it at a loss. subsidizing beekeepers distorts the market to the detriment of other crops (that don't need bees for polination) and other polination methods (humans? drones?). it's the same with free roads subsidizing the trucking industry (trucks cause disproportionately more damage to the roads compared to what they pay in taxes) to the detriment of other transportation methods, and low cost flood insurance subsidizing housing in flood zones to the detriment of low risk areas.
Leaving aside the pretentiousness of the "water consciousness movement", I'm really interested in "decentralized" access to water, and I have a few questions about this technology maybe one of you can answer:

Is it portable? For example, the article mentions Burning Man. Could you theoretically bring this to a desert and extract water from the air? There's probably enough sunlight in a typical desert to power the solar panels, but is there enough water moisture in the air to extract?

(Context: I generally agree with the perspective that water treatment keeps water safe to drink.) How could I test water from the ZMW system to ensure that it meets similar safety standards as tap water? Could I process the extracted water myself? What does that process look like?

I get the general sense that this particular system is being marketed to wealthy people. Are there any similar systems that try to do this cheaply? Maybe as a mission to make water accessible to everyone.

General question around climate change: is "more water moisture in the air" one of the expected long-term effects of climate change?
Being a member of my local lug, this is the very last place most males will find anything other than a lot of other nerdy males. Which is cool, but it's a horrible way to hook up. Your odds get really bad.

And as someone else pointed out, it's a great way to drive off women. The last thing a woman wants it to be gawked at by 16 men because they're looking for that nerdy girl. So they stop coming and you end up with the original situation, where it's 16 nerdy guys

I find buying glasses online less convenient than going to the brick and mortar shop. I need to see an optometrist anyways so while I am there I can try on glasses I like and buy everything on the spot.

I buy glasses once every 3 years to update prescription. The extra cost therefore is approximately 50 bucks a year (assuming I pay 300 at shop versus 50 online).

If I need an extra pair (which I have not needed) then I can consider buying online.

Well, a) death is not good, it just is, and b) it’s no less laughable than death being bad.

Is it inevitable? No. Is it worth “fighting”? Definitely not! What a waste of money. Get back to me when there is any path forward on this that doesn’t lead to increased social and economic stratification so rich people can live longer.

Death is useful to fear in that we make better decisions. It’s not useful to fear in that conquering it will not improve your life.

Btw the “death is good” philosophy you mock is just epicureanism.

Smashing 50 beehives is a lot for plain vandalism. Smashing 1 or 2 you'd get the haha, but you'd have to be particularly motivated to go after all 50. Plus, you'd need at least some planning to not get stung.
I've had similar experiences with group events. It's true that a lot of the women you meet are not available or looking for a relationship, which can be pretty frustrating when you meet someone you really like. So I definitely get you there.

Online dating does separate the wheat from the chaff in that sense, but I still find it more frustrating because there's far more competition I have to deal with and 99% of the time there's no return. When I'm in public with someone I find attractive, there's a high likelihood I can at least strike a conversation with them. Even if nothing comes of it, I gain experience. With online dating, I just get experience updating my profile and sending messages with almost no payoff.

It definitely works for some people. My best friend met his fiance on OKCupid years ago, and I've gotten multiple dates through it in the past, so I know that it can work. Whether the online dating sphere still functions properly is a different question, considering my online dating success decreased while my situation in life drastically improved, which makes no sense to me.

I'll add that I'm not particularly bothered by any of this. As you were in your 20s, I am at a stage where the benefits of dating don't outweigh the benefits of focusing on my craft until I can reach a certain threshold.
Last time I priced out Eyeglasses from Zenni, Warby Parker etc, they came out to be within a percent or so of Costco. It took a bit to figure out all the measurements so I was comparing like for like (thickness of lense, etc), and I do have a strong prescription so YMMV.

This seems to go against the popular notion that men tend to value visual signals of attractiveness, whereas women tend to value non-visual signals of attractiveness.

It's been a long time since I took Psych 101. Does anyone know, has this idea ever been discredited, from a statistical standpoint?

I guess the discrepancy could also be caused by selection effects, i.e. what kind of people use Tinder, and/or what frame of mind are they in when they use it.
Many eye doctors (not opticians!) will be glad to verify the accuracy of your glasses. For first time online purchases, ask your doctor to verify, tell you exactly what (if anything) is not correct, then request a free re-make with the correct fitting parameters.

If you have access to a skilled, craftsman local optician and can financially afford to support them with local purchases, please do so. Such opticians are rare and valuable, if only to have a reference point when comparing cheaper providers. Consumers will benefit by rejecting low-quality glasses both offline and online. We need quantitative quality tests for new glasses, regardless of origin, instead of waiting weeks or months to check for possible side effects.

If you are rolling the dice at a chain store, learn how to do your own fitting. It takes a few hours and will serve you for a lifetime of glasses.
As KirinDave said, we can apply our tech to as many stages as we like. If applied redundantly, has the extra benefit of verification at one stage catching problems in an earlier one. Far as propagating verification conditions or checking in middle, you might find these concerns addressed by proof-carrying code plus equivalence checks on untrusted optimizations as in VeLLVM. There's also work that equivalence checks transformations in assembly code.

I've worked in the visual effects industry for many years and this is incredibly interesting. In vfx to create a face replacement, we would have to create a 3D model of a head and then texture it with photos/scans of a the desired face. Then we would 3D track this cgi head onto an actor in the shot and then animate the face either by hand or using motion capture data from the stand-in actor's face. Then you'd light and render the cgi head and composite it into the shot.

This video shows the process:
https://youtu.be/rsPq2qp_Z-E

And here's an article about it:
https://www.fxguide.com/quicktakes/di4d-in-la/

It's pretty incredible that there's a completely different way to do a head swap. Of course, the vfx method gives the artist complete control over what the face/head does.

The disk is not encrypted when the computer is asleep. There may be other security mechanisms that may work, such as an OS-level password on wakeup, but not FDE.

(The details of FDE are a bit more complex, but practically the above is true.)
I more or less agree with this point, but one possibility is that the companies that currently exist are the ones that can survive long term while turning a profit every quarter (or another "number maximizing" strategy), while what is unseen is an entire class of "long term companies" that focus on things like research into "long tail" prospects.

I think from first principles (e.g. just iterating backwards from the first quarter where short-termism has led to long term failures), there's not necessarily a reason to think that this is likely, but I'm not sure it's ruled out by your evidence.

Such sources are always post-processed to deal with bias and correlation. No sane implementation just takes the straight measured output, whether it's keyboard interrupt timing or radioactive decay.
Behavior like this is why there’s rampant sexual harassment in places that should ostensibly be about something other than hooking up. I would recommend going to hacker meet ups to hack, and going elsewhere like a bar or club to look for a hookup.
From experience, I'd say this is undoubtedly true, but a large number do want go meet and go out.

The problem is that what you did is a lot worse. As long as users are posting "you ignorant twat" and whatnot, it's hard to raise the bar much higher, for the same reason that police in high-crime neighborhoods don't spend much time on bike thefts.

My dream for HN is that the community will learn to resist not only the crudest impulses but also the shallow and uncurious ones. Then we'd really get somewhere. But if such a process is possible at all, it's slow, and takes many steps backward as well as forward when new users arrive who aren't yet informed by the culture.

When you post a comment like the one above, you're not just insulting a particular commenter, you're kicking down part of this building that we're all slowly trying to construct together. That's the bigger reason not to do it.

I don't think you've thought this through, generally insurance premiums are high if there is a lot of risk and low if there is not much risk. If risk is low and you have a small market, like say beekeepers, your profit is small. If you increase your premiums at this point you would decrease your profits even further because people get insurance based on a calculated trade-off regarding risk and premiums. In other words nobody in a low-risk insurance market is going to buy your policies if they have a high premium.

The 3DO: The birth of my cynicism
My lesson from my personal experiments with Lavarand: you must have more than one lamp, not necessarily for more entropy, but for fail-over and uptime. At approximately ~30 hours, my vintage 70's lamp 'gives up' - the fluid temperature becomes pretty even between the bottom and the top. It's all essentially superheated as far as the wax is concerned and it simply stays in one place as a dome at the bottom, barely moving. This isn't good for creating random data. By using multiple lamps, it's possible to power cycle them. Ideally, every ten hours or so, remaining off for a couple hours.
> so I can know which people might become real friends and weed out those who wouldn't accept me for who I am

There is a healthy balance between full conformity and full renegade. Rejection is a social signal. You shouldn’t automatically accept it. But it shouldn’t be automatically thrown out, either. “Who you are” is fluid.
Do you think there is a ceiling after which machines would not replace human jobs? Which jobs? Is your job so secure from being automated?

If you can imagine your job being replaced then perhaps you would be able to sympathesize.
This doesn't seem like vandals, but more a competitor or someone who wanted to hurt them for something they did.

I'd be interested to read a followup in the spring, about where the GoFundMe money goes. Perhaps I am just cynical, but although it certainly could be senseless vandalism, it also checks the boxes for a "bust out", wherein a business is destroyed in order to obtain cash. Typically these are insurance schemes, but the GoFundMe angle provides the same result.

I hope the press attention causes the police to focus investigatory attention on it; I could imagine it simply being written off as a victimless property crime and swept under the rug, as so many things are.
Does Tinder catalyze any real life hookups at all? At best it's an awkward chat. Over here it's simply fake profiles (I'm a man, looking for a woman). Various creeps, scammers, "researchers" fishing for god knows what. The profiles are insolent - one profile photo no description, photo of a computer screen, "I'm lost, new in the city, show me around" descriptions. It's quite obvious that there is no woman behind the profile. The few "real" profiles are oftentimes connected with Instagram profile - coverage of the person's gym/professional activities, the profile is basically part of person's online brand/presence and in this case the real life hookup is not the goal either.

Stop radicalization by limiting free speech and spying on everyone's communications? That's similar to what America did with McCarthyism. Communism is arguably more deadly and harmful than Islamic extremism but we accept it as a tolerable non-thought-crime today. Why can't people accept Islamic extremism in the same way? What happened to the idea of freedom of political thought?
One thing that gets overlooked in police shootings is innocent bystanders as an aside to the people getting shot by police, justified or not.

Imagine the person that called the police to investigate someone with a possible weapon in a hotel, moments later police show up in SWAT gear with AR-15s and discharge them in the hallway, with many other rooms around, and kill an innocent man. Worse, bullets could have gone into rooms or out the window into the parking lot and who knows where else. Why not rubber bullets, why not a taser, why an AR-15 in a hotel hallway?

Next time you see one of these shootings, watch the disregard in some for who is behind the person the police are shooting at [1][2][3] whether justified or not, it is a bit scary. It is getting to the point that maybe it is safer to not call police, what if you were robbed and they come in and shoot the guy in front or you house, bullets everywhere?
