Japan still occupies China? That's news to me.

Black people have never been the masters of their own fate in the U.S. Slavery was replaced by Jim Crow, which lasted 100 years. Jim Crow (which is to say, legally sanctioned racial discrimination) was only eliminated 50 years ago, and it has since been replaced by a more subtle program of gerrymandering [1], racially discriminatory drug laws [2], racially discriminatory law enforcement [3] and other daily indignities to which people of color are selectively subjected [4]. This is not to say that individuals cannot rise above this. They can, and they do. But that doesn't change the fact that the legacy of slavery and other forms of racial bigotry is very much still with us, with your tone-deaf diatribe being yet another supporting data point.

Totally, I agree. There's a lot of empirical research backing that up, too.
I am always so torn when people make the argument that homosexuality is natural and therefore okay.

It relies on the naturalistic fallacy which I don't like, but it also shuts down people who make the argument that homosexuality is unnatural and therefore bad, which I do like.

Ultimately, homosexuality in humans is fine not because it's natural, but because we should, by default, let consenting adults do what they want together.

If it's anything like email, you would use the server your employer or organization you belong to created an account on for you to use.
Mastodon doesn’t seem to have a way to move a user account and still have others message or tag one in the same way as before. When you switch from, say mastodon.social to mastodon.xyz, it’s almost like switching from Yahoo Mail to Gmail. There seems to be a way to export one’s following list and move that to the new instance, but this does require informing others of the address change on one’s account.

Have I misunderstood how this works?
It does to a certain point, but then you run into diminishing returns. China needed to build infrastructure in the 80's and 90's because a lack of infrastructure was a bottleneck for further economic growth. Now they're building infrastructure primarily as a means of exerting political power (e.g. integrating western China with high speed rail and Belt and Road).
This is a dumb question. But, where did the data come from used to draw up the conclusion that landlords make more profit on average from poorer neighborhoods?
I suspect a majority of renters actually aren't aware of the legal protections they have nor do they have the legal resources at their disposal (or even state of mind or time, in many cases) to fully take advantage of them.

On the other hand, some probably do and some probably do take full advantage of their legal rights.

Aggregate margins would probably be a lot thinner if every person being evicted took full advantage of every legal right they had though.

Similarly, the landlords who are straight and honest about the process and don't take advantage of this probably take in lower profits than the ones who don't.

For those willing (or those with power of attorney), would nanoparticle research experiments be worth the wont, per OP's point? While two major drug trials are being dropped towards the amyloid target (based on aducanumab) on public display, why not look towards AI and neuroplasticity measures to find the next set of targets
Neat, I'll be sure to check it out, thank you.
That's .. not actually too bad. Obviously it's going to generate a lot of code, but I can almost understand what it's trying to do and it doesn't look like it relies too heavily on type resolution surprises.

If you want a template challenge, try (without looking it up) writing your own iostream class. iostream is one of those things that's present in even beginner examples but when you look at how it works a whole load of complexity unravels.
Most of the issues discussed in the article are not from limits in precision, they're from overflows that arise from limits in the exponential range. Finding the average of 8e+307 and 8e+307 is a "low precision" problem, and even naive methods to avoid overflow will not hit limits on precision in this case (e.g. 8e+307/2 + 8e+307/2).

You're right that there are issues with precision and floating point math (the article touches on this a little), but the implementation is definitely wrong if it promises to work like in the case of Python's statistics library (which was correctly using the fractions library to store arbitrary numbers, but converted to a fraction in the wrong order).
My go-to link for countering "<insert sexual practice> is unnatural" was [1], this article seems like a great one to add to the arsenal :).

That's not to say I believe human behaviour should somehow be judged by finding equivalents in the animal kingdom (what a silly concept!), it's just fun to point out to someone that even their ridiculous point is technically incorrect.

Also, the whole reason Greek ports are owned by China in the first place is that Germany forced the Greek government to sell them off to the highest bidder as part of their great economic fucking-over of Greece. So it's hard to have a huge amount of sympathy if this causes headaches for the core EU states.

There is a sense it this new socio-political climate that we live in, that people should not invest to actually make money, but only use what money they have to make other people's lives easier or better.

I am not saying that this is a terrible goal, but it is wildly unrealistic for people that are not billionaires.

Sadly, however, this ends up in accusations of exploitation, both because of these (imo unreasonable) thoughts, but also because there is a wild lack of economic literacy.
Exactly, an appeal to nature is not needed. Humans could be the only species ever observed with homosexual traits and it wouldn't make a difference when it comes to matters of whether something is ok or not.

In SSB, pubs seem like an essential (and flawed) part of the network, and this may be true at the present time, but not forever. I'm working on a few alternatives to pub servers, one of them is a server that has no storage of data, it just acts as a meeting point for clients, and sets up tunnels between them. The other is a 1-feed pub, where the idea is to setup a mirror for your data in case you are a feed that has many thousands of followers. In both cases I want to make it easy (as in Heroku one click installer button) to start a server. The idea is that the easier it is to start a server, the more servers there will be in quantity. Off from the internet, SSB already has good mechanisms for sharing data (Wi-Fi and Bluetooth), which other protocols don't seem to have. Its hard to grok how good this is unless you're living in poor internet environments. SSB on the internet is not as well designed as SSB off the internet.
I wonder how to approach this: Do you mean that if one builds a website, that they should link it to an affiliate like Amazon Associates or eBay Partners?
We are talking about the average profit and risk without knowing the difference in default or move out, vacancy etc. I would think people with housing options would be a higher risk than people without housing options...ie they can afford to just leave if they want to. A person with limited housing options will go without things being fixed right away and can't necessarily afford to defend themselves in court or to just move out.

I don't see transparency as necessarily a virtue to optimize over everything else, or even a terminal good in itself.

Consider: Would it be wise for a CIA agent to run an "Everything I know" site? No, because they could be targeted through the information they blindly broadcast. I know you're not in such a high-risk role yourself, but do you never want to be important in the future, e.g. a CEO, founder, or a high-ranking software engineer?

Knowledge is power, and sharing unnecessary information to strangers will allow them to abuse it and you.

Satisfaction, too.

I love watches, and usually wear a Vostok. It’s a very inexpensive Russian automatic (mechanical, self-winding). It was about $100, and certainly isn’t a “luxury” watch in the sense that a Patek would be - but I like wearing it, because of what it is.

It’s hard to explain. It’s a piece of extremely precise engineering that almost feels organic in some ways. If I’m in a quiet place and calm I can almost feel it tick. I can feel the pendulum move to wind itself when I reach for something. In some small way it’s almost alive.

I guess you could call that art.

I think more money should be directed towards tools, sensors and technology that can be used so map and study brain and biochemistry in general, and not just particular pathologies. Expansion microscopy, optogenetics and deep brain stimulation via temporally interfering electric fields are good examples of that. The surprising result that you can clear amyloids from the brain (only in transgenic mice) with 40 Hz light therapy is good example of surprising findings you get when you build new tools.

I agree. Lots of us have ancestors who were involved with slavery in the US. For me it's at least one great great grand father who held twenty plus enslaved people in South Carolina. His son was drafted into the CSA at 16 in the final months of the war. His son, my grandfather, was a big influence on my life until I was 21. The gggrandfather lost a lot after the war and was bitter and resentful for the rest of his life. His son, born into privilege and wealth, grew up poor, lived an honest, meager life and died a horrible death as the result of a steam boiler explosion. I didn't learn these things from my grandfather. I learned them when I did my own research into these people and uncovered their stories.

I have not lived in the South for fifty years, have no accent, consider myself unbiased by race and extremely progressive politically. Yet, as I found and verified these traces of my personal history, I could feel a certain resonance between them and aspects of myself. Not particularly admirable aspects, but present nonetheless. Like a tendency to resent others who seem to have things given to them when I have always worked. Or a deep anger that (very) occasionally leaps out in disproportionate response to slight things. Like I say, not admirable, but there. I am not suggesting they were 'caused' by ancestral experiences. But I do think they are consistent with them.

And what was I to do with the knowledge my ancestors were slave holders? What happens to a person to make it OK for them to engage in such a hideous thing in the first place? Next was what am I supposed to do? It is extremely uncomfortable to sit with these things. I can not imagine the emotions I would feel sitting with knowledge that my ancestors were enslaved. For myself I decided I could acknowledge the truths my family never talked about. I could look at my own patterns of denial and identify the traces of them wrapped up in racist rhetoric. And when folks are having discussions about slavery being something in the so distant past I can point out that my personal connection to it is not all that distant.

I offer this bit of personal history to support the OP - the civil war was not that long ago. The repercussions and the sentiments of it are still with us and passed on intentionally or not. They are the sort of thing that turns into a background hum against which systematic inequality seems correct and harmonizes with the rhetoric of nationalism and racism.

The original story illustrates that we are still paying, metaphorically and actually, for the civil war.
I use MailChimp with my Shopify store and it's pretty irritating to be impacted and have to plan to deal with this. I put quite a few hours into getting everything set up as it is now with our MailChimp followup emails (products left in the shopping cart, etc). From my view, I don't care at all to have my MailChimp account more connected with the Shopify API. Shopify has plenty of data on me why do they need more? And, I don't need or want to control my followup emails from within Shopify. I obviously like MailChimp enough to chose them, independently. So, I smell BS in reading this Shopify post.

This article is so silly and the answers so obvious.

It's not some exploitative factors driving a difference in rent. It's other factors driving a difference in price. Every landlord knows you can make more money in low income areas, and especially with section 8. But they still don't buy there because those areas are rougher, many landlords or middle to upper class and don't necessarily understand those neighborhoods, and you have to deal with more evictions.

And the biggest difference is that low income people can't afford/don't have the credit/down payment to buy. So there is a lot less competition for ownership there than a high income neighborhood.

WAFs seem to be pretty universally regarded as garbage by the security professionals I know.

- there’s a (closed source for F5) black box that’s gonna mess with some of your requests

- it might block legitimate requests that “look” like SQL injection attempts (false positives)

- a WAF adds a bunch more latency to your request/response cycle

- malicious requests will still get through the WAF (false negatives), so it’s not like you can just forget about application security after you set one up

From HN guidelines:

(I'm a bit torn about pointing this out in this case, but I've seen way too many people falsely accused of bigotry because people chose to interpret comments in a way different from intended. Still, this is clearly a throwaway account).
So basically they were deaf in a way that makes them immune to motion sickness, but has also required them to adapt to the loss of that sensory information on earth, so they were able to teach the rest of us how to adapt. So cool!

Let's Build Joe Rogan's Podcast App
Joe keeps talking about building a new podcast app (he's stated a need--we just need to build it). I want to be proactive and build it for him, then have him invest in the company. The app he talks about on air would let his listeners pay a small fee to get his show with no ads. I’d argue that doesn’t create enough value for the subscriber. They can already skip the ads on any podcast app. I've got an mvp designed that includes additional features that would let his audience dive deeper on the topics that surface in the course of the show.

I'm looking for a technical co-founder who loves JRE and sees the opportunity I do. Massive amounts of VC dollars are being poured into the podcast space, but all the resulting products have nearly identical UI (same old podcast player that has been around since day 1). These companies are missing a huge opportunity to create a more engaging and immersive experience for their listeners.

Who's interested?
I think it's bad, as it opens the door for the "valid" retort of ducks being necrophiliac. Is a fallacious argument the hill we want to die on? I'd rather just support the positives of a liberal approach.
Neither of you are wrong, but given that this is a political issue as much as it is a [insert your favorite label here] issue, I think it's a mistake to pass up an opportunity to discredit the opposing side's fallacious arguments.

I think people are talking past each other when discussing "unnaturalness". Opponents of homosexuality often use the word "unnatural" in the sense of "not in humankind's nature". This is distinct from "unnatural" as "not occurring in nature".

The argument is more like "eating dirt is okay for earthworms, but it's unnatural for humans", so appeal to the behavior of other animals completely misses the point.

This is a profoundly metaphysical debate about the nature of a life well-lived and the nature of a healthy society. Whatever one thinks of it, that's the level on which it ought to be discussed.

China's mistake is actually a shining example of the failures of a centrally planned economy. Any reasonably competent person would know that China had to build infrastructure in 1980 and would have probably made similar economic planning decisions that the Chinese did. But even they are stuck in an infrastructure construction bubble in 2020 to the point that it's easier to waste resources building unnecessary infrastructure than to try to reallocate labor and capital and natural resources.

(See also: Stalinist industrialization. It was easier for central planners to focus on the hypothetical exponential impacts of "building machine tools to build machine tools", or to focus on building as many T-34 tanks as possible, than to actually design a self-sufficient war economy, which they never really had--there was a very strong reliance on imports of Allied food, radios, and other small goods.)
> Ultimately, homosexuality in humans is fine not because it's natural, but because we should, by default, let consenting adults do what they want together.

This is so important and so regularly gets ignored by people on all sides. Once, a long time ago, I was talking to a much-smarter-than-me gay friend about the gay marriage debate in the US, and I said that being gay wasn't a choice and that _therefore_ yada yada. He said the only thing that in hindsight ever really matters, though at the time I'd never heard anyone say it before. He said "So what if it were a choice? What exactly does that change? You can't choose who to spend your life with? You can't choose who to share resources with? You can't choose who gets to be your proxy? Why is choice not important?"
