I think the problem with adoption has less to do with the theory of zipper merging working than local culture and traffic enforcement.

I live in Ontario, Canada, and despite of our reputation for politeness, we have some of the worst/most selfish drivers anywhere. Part of this is because there doesn't appear (anecdotally) to be a lot of traffic enforcement, so people now push the limits as much as possible, whether it be texting while driving, running red lights, tailgating or merging improperly.

The only way I could see this work where I live is if there's strict enforcement to ensure it happens, otherwise you'll see behaviours like people not letting in mergers, or a second car trying to squeeze in after the legit merger.
What an odd trend. If anything every company is clamoring to get a status page, not remove the one they have.
That's unclear and unhelpful.
I’m the only person building the main product of a startup. Work by default starts when I wake up and ends when I sleep, seven days a week. To stay sane I lift heavy weights M/W/F and do interval training T/T/S. At lunch I practice pool for an hour. On weekends after dinner I’ll sometimes drink with friends.

Productivity wise I make sure I always have tasks to do, regularly make sure my environment is clean with natural sunlight and earplugs nearby, and make sure I’ve showered, rested, and eaten. When I get distracted and want to go on HN, most of the time I read a math book instead. That way I either learn math, or realize how much easier my startup is and go back to doing that.
I have the E-M5 II also, with the optional grip attachment. It's a great compromise between small and light for vacationing without the grip attachment (which I'll leave off for any lens up through the Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8), but then when I want to use my big Olympus 40-150mm f/2.8 for more serious wildlife photography, I put the grip on.

I definitely appreciate the ability to go small and light with this camera, especially when using the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 lens. That thing is so tiny! That whole setup can easily fit in a jacket pocket, and the weight isn't too noticeable around your neck after a whole day (unlike the 12-40mm f/2.8 lens).
Most of the words on the profanity list are in common use in polite company these days. If the goal is to identify hate speech and sexual speech, doesn't there need to be a semantic component. I wonder why a profanity filter is needed--what is the use case?
I think you may only be looking at immigrant based visas in the US. Whereas you need to look at permenant residents (ie green card holders = 13.2M of which 8.9M are eligible for citizenship).
It’s easy to celebrate when it’s not your desires and quality of life.

I would not celebrate everyone living on a dollar a day as most of the developing world does. To me, that wouldn’t be a win. Conversely, US resource consumption per capita needs to decline to European levels to be sustainable, which I think is possible with renewables and electrified transportation, along with an aging population.

Land is not the problem in the US. It’s jobs near inexpensive land, which you can incentivize with public policy.
What Is a Recurrent NNs and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRUS)
I think society doesn't purposefully handle it at all currently, issues are solved by accident through simply waiting for new technologies to make all the old problems disappear. Sometimes a problem is so gigantic that no amount of spin and delusion can deny it and then things do tend to get fixed but usually with a few new problems in there as well.
Regarding your game theory question: One group being immovable in thought inevitably leads to either that group gaining more members or new immovable groups forming to fight that contender at the same level.

Perhaps you'd write into your terms of business that you could only have one refund per person per year or something like that to limit this sort of edge case behaviour.

I recall it being a sports nutrition business but selling something reasonably unique. I would estimate that it would be an average sale of $50-$100, perhaps a high of $300?

So long as you're making decent sales an occasional hit of $5-$10 and the even rarer hit of $30 is hardly terrible.
That wasn't the QuickDraw that came to my mind
Ah. There is someone I know who when we talk, just listens and acts very interested, but never really engages with what I am saying or argues his own opinion. I think I understand why now.

But while he makes excellent initial impressions, this behavior has become infuriating and very off-putting. Such behavior might work for shallow relationships but it is no good if you want a relationship with depth.
I would like to add MDMA too to that list

Ask HN: News source for general World news?
Loosely based on recent Hacker News top story about "stop reading the news" and based on my recent thoughts about paying for a single news site, to get good broad news on the World.

If you should choose only 1 source for general World news. Which site would you recommend? Free or payed does not matter.

>Right, a DE is not part of the kernel, or even perhaps the base install. But DE is something people do use with FreeBSD - there are people who run DEs.

The base install is FreeBSD, it is the code and system the team created and what the FreeBSD foundational raises money to support. If Apple ripped off FreeBSD, it would these people that are getting ripped off. You can install a wide variety of other software on your computer alongside FreeBSD, but that doesn't make them a part of FreeBSD.

>The DE is just an example of something that could have been useful. The point is that Apple hasn't really contributed back to FreeBSD -

As far as contributing back unrelated things that would be useful, they have contributed back LLVM.

>the real-world behaviour of large corporations highlights the drawbacks of non-reciprocal licences.

This wasn't real world behavior, and FreeBSD using the GPL wouldn't have forced Apple to give them their DE. A program, say a DE, on a GPL operating system does not need to be distributed under an open source license.
And they're contemporaries.
Existentialism’s Marxist Turn
I went to the color factory and thought it was fun without taking pictures. I also went to a gorgeous shrine on a lake near Mt Fuji and there was a line dozens of people long to take a selfie at it. The problem isn't the pop-up experiences.
This is not strictly true. Chronic ketamine ABuse can cause urinary tract problems. The doses and frequency used in a clinical session emphatically do not cause this problem. Ketamine has been in regular use since 1970 for a wide range of medical purposes. It's also been on the WHO Essential Medicines List since 1985.

tl;dr - don't need to worry about urinary tract issues unless you're using the drug (1) recreationally; (2) irresponsibly
It’s funny that you say that. I’ve taken MDMA once in my life, and I swear it was one of the only times my mind didn’t feel like it was trying to attack me. I felt totally calm and at ease rather than high or euphoric. I haven’t done it again because I’m paranoid about addiction, but I could absolutely see it being effective as a tool for facilitating longer-term treatments. I’d jump at an opportunity to participate in a MAPS study or something similar in a controlled environment.
I like having a separate bedroom. It has nice carpeting, a big bed, a clothing closet and blinds that make the room pitch black. The walls are isolated for heat and noise and the only window is facing the garden, not the busy street on the other side. No electronics to distract me, nothing to look at. The temperature is lower than the rest of the house (on purpose). It's really magical for me to sleep there and I have the best sleep. I used to sleep in the living room and it was terrible. Fan noise from the central ventilation system, lights from various electronic devices, noise from the street-side window, noise from the dishwasher and it was way too warm in the winter.

So yes. Having a bit more space in your home can raise your standard of living.
Really? Lambda is poorly documented mess

Using a scripting language like Python or Node it literally is adding one function that takes in a JSON event and a context object as your entry point.
> I wonder which forces are at play who intend to convince us that lowering our standards of living is cool?

I wonder which forces are at play who intend to convince us that continuing living with our current standards is sustainable.

No judgement from me if you do choose to do these things, though. I do see the appeal. Maybe there is no conspiracy, maybe it is a coping mechanism.

When did we consciously decided that :

- having thousands of cars running around us constantly while emitting toxic gases

- wrapping everything in multiple layer of plastic packaging

- eating meat at every meal

- same day delivery / drone delivery

- getting food delivered by people getting paid sub minimum wage

- crypto currencies consuming ridiculous amount of energy for basically nothing

- spending 8 hours a day sitting in front of a computer developing solutions for mega corps exploiting human behaviours to make money

&c. were good things ?

At least with my recent V-Moda pair they changed it to send us your broken ones and we'll give you a certain amount off your next pair depending on what pair you're sending in and what pair you're buying next.

> Please explain this. Git is a content-addressable object-store. SVN is not.

They are both version control systems. People use them to track versions, as well as merging changes and diverging development branches. How data s stored is an implementation delail that doesn't reflect on the mental model.
Could you elaborate? If not (b) then it seems she would certainly fall into (a).
Honestly, I'd feel much better if people were standardizing QUIC and we simply run HTTP/1.1 over it.

Instead we now have transport layers that are application specific and 3 completely different web protocols with none of them being considered legacy, 2 of them being complex enough that people aren't very willing to move.

That does not look like a good foundation for anything.
Is it really a 1.0 if there's no pricing available. Would love to use, but can't get started on a product when I have no idea what it will cost our team.
I would guess it's because most people's experience with manufactured housing is the base model kind, where everything is super shoddy.

Also lack of exposure to some extent. People can only dream about what they know.

There is only a request, no "customer X buys the last item" event unless the system proves that the item is actually available (and other conditions). An easy way is putting requests in a queue, to ensure one of the buying attempts comes after the other and sees the item unavailable.
In a clinic environment they wouldnt be putting ur arm back :) . U would be in a calm environment with nice music and blind folds

Some follow a low dose of around 30-35mg and some go up to 150mg which I found to be life changing
To expand on that point: load balancers will also have to maintain encrypted connections between themselves and their web servers behind the scenes. That's probably a "best practice" security-wise, but it's convenient to be able to handle the TLS stuff at a load balancer level and stick to plain HTTP behind the scenes.

I suppose this can still happen regardless, except the HTTP/3 connection would stop at the load balancer (which would have to translate to plain ol' HTTP/1 for the servers behind it).
Source maps in Angular – How to handle them in production
This has been my experience too. None of the ketamine-based drugs have been as effective as regular ketamine. That said, drug companies will not seek to get regular ketamine FDA approved because they can't patent it. So this is the only way they will go through the process of FDA approval. I hope it leads to regular ketamine being FDA approved for treating depression because only then will it be covered by insurance.
> I would just buy some online and insufflate it. Safer than a needle and just as effective.

You're advocating buying a black market substance online and then snorting it as the safer option?
There is in practice no clear-text HTTP/2

The documentation says how in theory it could happen, but all actual client software just does ALPN, which is a TLS feature to let you pick a different sub-protocol after connecting. Since it's a TLS feature you are obliged to use encryption.

I believe all of the best sushi places in Japan have their own ideal "recipe" for serving fish, and none of it is fresh. Flavor and textures start maturing in fish as the initial stages of fermentation start, much like how the flavor of bread changes the longer it has time to slowly prove.
As someone who lives in Ontario, Canada, I merge early as a defensive/safety measure.

People here will follow each other incredibly closely, even at high speeds, and quite often they won't slow down to let you in if you're trying to merge.
Hi,

Just checked out a couple of your projects on your portfolio site. Although simple they were looking clean and neat. I'm an aspiring python developer and was wondering if you have any advice on how did you go about your learning path for web development? Did you start with learning the basics through books as I'm doing before dabbling with the frameworks? Any help is always appreciated? Thanks

Yes, of course they feel pain.

To clarify, HTTP 1.0/1.1 were successfully transmitted over TCP, multiple versions of SSL, then several versions of TLS. Just seems a bit pretentious to be tying to TLS 1.3.

Agency plus automation Designing artificial intelligence into interactive system
It is the natural state of fire to burn. It is the natural state of life to live. Humans are programmed genetically to do so, and to go to (and suffer) extremes to continue to do so. While there might be situations where suicide is (judged to be) the best bad alternative, it is literally the most unnatural thing a human can do to themselves. And poverty (vs. scarcity) is not a natural concept; is a wild rabbit with enough to eat "poor" (only if their neighbor rabbits have a larger burrow!)? This is the projection of human concepts about how the universe should be arranged (right/wrong, wealth/poverty, culturally-oriented logic) onto a physical universe which has no such concepts built into it.
It's probably >3x more difficult to find someone with your skills to employ. It may be easy to you but to someone who doesn't know how to program, your work is unimaginably difficult.
I'm worried, not because of the standard itself, which seems well thought out, even if rushed.

I'm worried because you have a protocol implemented in the userland for a few mainstream languages. It seems everyone now has to pay the price of a protocol implementation on top of a protocol implementation on top of a protocol implementation. Big players---either because they have thousands of open source developers, or is backed by a corporation---they have it easy. Smaller players? Not so much.

Also, note that the exact problem that HTTP/3 tries to solve was known in the design process of HTTP/2 and some people even noted having multiple flow control schemes at multiple layers would become a problem. We are letting the same people design the next layer, and probably too fast in the name of time to market.

This should definitely live in a way people can make use of it easily, with an API highly amenable to binding. If it gains traction, we need a new UDP interface to the kernel as well, for batching packets back and forth. This kills operating system diversity as well, or runs the risk at doing so.

OTOH, I see the lure: SCTP never caught on for a reason, and much of this is the opposite of my above worries.
This house will have only a small bedroom, a wc and a living/kitchen/dining room. However I'll assure the possibility of easily extending 1 or 2 small bedrooms and a garage if/when I get kids. For now I just plan to use it on weekends and holydays.

And no lawns. Maybe a vegetable garden.
I like the idea of making do with less, but I don't get how tiny houses can be the solution. What if your whole city/ the whole world was living in tiny houses? Would be impractical and use a lot of space. Seems that apartment blocks (with good quality, small/ flexible apartments) would make much more sense.
There is a gigantic difference in patient outcome between clinical ketamine use and recreational ketamine use. For a variety of reasons: careful dose control, having an actual doctor involved, etc. But the biggest one is the antidepressant effects of ketamine only really happen when it's administered via IV drip over a course of 45 minutes. The most common use of recreational ketamine is inhaling it, the effects come up too fast and go away too fast for the antidepressive effects to occur.
Plaster vs. drywall probably has a lot to do with it. The plaster+lathe in my 103yo house (in the US) blocks sound exceptionally well.
To be clear, I'm simply stating what I perceive to be the kernel of the conservative argument against drugs. I'm not personally espousing any particular position on drug use.
David Arnold, the man behind cooking issues and the searzall, is awesome and super-smart. He also has a weekly podcast by the same name[0] that I find enjoyable. He's basically a mad scientist w/ food + drinks. His bar in Manhattan[1] is crazy cool. He's also done a lecture series at Harvard[2] if you're interested in learning more about the science/engineering of food.

As far as the Searzall goes; very cool product. If you get in to Sous Vide it's definitely one of the better ways of finising a protein. I still default to a broiler or hot cast-iron because it's often easier + faster w/ similar results. But, I still use the searzall ~weekly just as a hand-held broiler for toasting things. hah

Thanks for the feedback...let me elaborate on that a bit more then:

I was born and raised in Europe and lived there 30 years.

What I will share here is from personal expierence and will be a generalization (because there is of course always exceptions).

What I meant by dead inside is that people there don’t do anything with the safety and freedom socialism provides. They don’t spend more time with their kids or follow the arts. People had no dreams or ambitions :(

There first thing that struck me coming to America was that not only did everyone have a dream, but they were actively pursuing it.

Examples:
1. the barber where I got my first haircut was playing in a rock band and about to head out for a 4 month tour.

2. A friends girlfriend went from being waitress to becoming CEO of a organization everybody here knows

3. Lots of friend of mine are active as mentor for local underprivileged kids on the weekends

I come from a small town where you’d think there is a community and people support each other...but socialism erodes those ties. I have never seen anyone do something good for their neighbors in Europe...it’s the governments job to do so...which leads to nobody lifting a finger.

In Europe people actively try to prevent you from raising from the middle class by talking you down and being unsupportive. Additionally the government doesn’t waste a day to put another bump on the road to keep you where you are.

But to their defense they do a decent job of helping people at the bottom to get closer to the middle class

I've been living in a shuttle bus I converted for about 20 months. I built it to be like a high end RV, with everything you'd expect in an RV but with lithium batteries and a solar array. I did it for two reasons, so I could own a home with minimal expenses and so I could take my home and dog when I travel.

My cost of living is significantly lower than living in conventional housing. I estimate I've spent around $50k on it. I don't understand spending $100k on a tiny home trailer. You can buy a regular house for that much and the trailer will depreciate.

I don't have plans on moving into something else in the near future. With all the money I'm saving I'm paying off debts and growing my savings. I wouldn't mind owning some land and building a workshop but it's hard to find land at a reasonable price in a place I'd like to live.

I do this entirely by choice. I'm fortunate enough to have a well paying, remote job. I constantly see and think about people who are forced into being houseless. One project I'd like to do is a sub-$1000 trailer home anyone could build with basic tools and a few weekends. Design and build one then put full instructions with videos online for free. Unfortunately I don't have the time right now.

Feel free to ask me anything.

In-body stabilization is a great solution for this. f/1.4 primes and in-body stabilization are a great combination for available light photography.
Yeah, especially while this is in beta mode. If we start getting serious traction, we might be forced to move, or distribute the app to other providers to ensure good QoS everywhere. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

As the old saying goes "that would be a good problem to have".
