One argument for Catalonian independence is that Catalonia is better off by itself. It's trying to shed the poorer parts of Spain.

Which I think is an unsolidaric argument, but it's a possible one when you don't believe in "national unity" anymore.
You choose how and where to work, yes, and this is already factored in the form by the duration of the commute. Unlike having kids, you can't elect to not work though, because you need money to pay for buying food and shelter.

I don’t think any of those countries have their own nuclear weapons, unless you’re referring to US weapons controlled by US troops in those countries.

Our access and use of resources have changed dramatically. It's no longer true that to have few people living like the kings we need to have a large number of people exploited. Well, maybe we are not exactly there yet but we have come such a long way that we have an incredibly high count of people living very good lives.

Many fights of the political elites are more and more about their personal egos than biological or natural necessities of the population they are responsible for.

Sure, there are still issues and global risks that may undo our progress but overall we are approaching a future where we are no longer depended on large political institutions but since we have these in place they will continue doing their thing and the risks will be due to fighting between those institutions.

I know someone making tens of thousands a month from shilling VPNs. They have site where they "review" and "rate" VPNs.

The reality is that the customers of those products barely understand them and are buying into the BS of "stay anonymous" and "be private online". It's an easy market, especially considering you don't even need to develop the VPN software, just run instances on some cloud/VPS provider and do a ton of marketing.

The person doing the shilling is marketing himself as a "privacy & crypto expert" and having a masters degree in cybersecurity, reality is dude barely graduated high school. He actually works for a friend of his who runs a whole variety of these sites and is about to clear $10M+ this year alone.

What I've learned from this is that if you Google for some popular product, the first 5 pages are going to be SEO-optimized shilling sites. Just skip to page 10.

That's actually not accurate. The Dutch were as car mad as anywhere between 1950 and the 1970s.

The cycling culture that developed subsequently was hard fought for by activist groups throughout the late 60s and 70s, before being implemented across the country by various city councils in the 1980s and then developed further with national level infrastructural improvements in the 1990s.

There's lots of good documentaries on YouTube about the change, highly recommended if you're interested in urban planning or in the possibilities for introducing cycling infrastructure.

In Utrecht one can see many roads which have multiple cycle lanes and pedestrianised parks along the middle. These roads were originally developed as 4 lane highways for automobiles before modernisation.
None of these seem legitimate to me.

Language is not big compared to python or something.

Technically it is a lisp-n not a lisp 2, doesn’t matter in a practical sense.

Optimization of tail recursion isn’t in the spec but is done in some compilers. Loops are encouraged, as is mutation, objects. It’s truly multi-paradigm.

It is very powerful, so in some ways it ruins you when you have to go back to writing python code, adhering to ‘PEP 8’ Standards, and people looking over your shoulder at code reviews.

Common Lisp has the potential to be freewheeling and exploratory in a way that other languages still do not.

I think of something, therefore I write it and it exists. There isn’t a lot of hemming and hawing about ceremony and rigor.

I like that feature of Common Lisp... it is my own patch of the Wild West, to some extent.

A lot of people think that if something isn’t difficult and tedious, it isn’t really software engineering.

They may be right, but I prefer whatever this non-engineering discipline is to what I’m doing now.
Has anyone in this conversation considered that maybe the devil has plenty of advocates on this topic and doesn’t need anymore?
Though this article is true, there's nothing exceptional about the Utrecht bicycle infrastructure. The great thing is that the bicycle infrastructure throughout the entirety of The Netherlands is of extremely high quality. In the suburbs the bicycle experience is actually much more pleasant than in cities: the lanes are wide, there hardly is any congestion and you can really go anywhere on bicycle lanes without being forced to do some weird manouvering (which is very common outside of The Netherlands). Utrecht is just a good example of the incredible bicycle infrastructure in The Netherlands as a whole.
Perhaps the parent meant to suggest https://www.bmwblog.com/2015/04/04/bmw-i3-winter-tires-revie... for the winter. At least according to that review, using the winter tires would have been better in the snow.

It is solved. Everybody can choose a job where they works less hours or become a freelancer and work as many hours as they want.
This doesn't work on a global scale, but as an individual, that choice is possible.

The problem is that people want to buy more than they can afford from doing less work.

There is no way to resolve this. As long as there are status goods like sneakers for $1000, people will have to work the hours needed to afford them. You can only have fewer hours if everything is standardized to the point that machines do all the work. But who wants to live in such a world of uniformity?

i am going to disagree here. what he was offered was companionship and compassion in his suffering.

distraction from the pain, sure, but not distraction from reflection.

playing games like this does not prevent you from reflection. i haven't played elite dangerous yet, but other games like it. these games are not a mindless distraction. they can be, but they don't have to be. you play an intelligent being, and how you act in the game reflects on how you act as a person.

being confined to the hospital, the game allowed michael to break out of its confines and act as the human being that he is within a virtual world. doing that allows plenty of opportunity for reflection on your life. and i am sure he did his fair share of it.

in the end, death is not a punishment, but a release from suffering.

someone once said that handicapped people are a test for everyone else around them, how they react and treat them.

the elite dangerous community has passed that test, and hence michael was allowed to leave this earthly plane and ascend.
An inner monologue is when you’re talking to yourself. I don’t think that can exist without language. What would you say to yourself with no words?
When I focus intensely on something right before sleep impacts, I've noticed that I seem to simply pause, emotionally. When I wake up the next morning, the emotions from the night before are immediately present again. If I was in a fight, or studying intensely, or playing 12 straight hours of factorio, I wake up continuing where I left off.

If there is anything after this life, I want to wake up to it on a positive note having spent my last hours happy.
Scandals have been going around him for a very long time. Make sure you don't count him more than once.
A reason to take this with a grain of salt: transcript length is the biggest technical effect in RNA sequencing. Longer transcripts get broken into more fragments and get sequenced more deeply. What this means is that if you perform any experiment you tend to get a "length effect" of some sort. The second feature they mention in the GTEx data is GC-content, which is probably the second biggest technical bias in RNA sequencing and again basically any experiment has a "GC-content effect" of some sort. But I don't interpret those as meaning that there is something directly acting on long transcripts or high-GC transcripts, rather that whatever is happening biologically ends up appearing as a length or GC effect after sequencing. It's a little fishy that the only features they find are features that I would expect to always find.

The most compelling reason to think that's not simply the case here is that seem to be noticing a consistent downward trend across all long transcripts with age which is more compelling than merely noting that long transcripts change (some up and some down).
Two careful points to be observed here. Does Silicon Valley have a disproportionate high share of such scandals? If yes would there be a serious bias in the development of autonomous systems especially in the area of language and context processing?

Yes, but not only plant them. You also need to keep them and then you can never let them decompose or burn. Or you have to keep planting a new tree whenever one dies. Basically the "Plant 1T trees" means "increase the total number of trees by 1T and keep it that way". Also we would need to increase that number every time we increase our greenhouse gas emissions. No matter how "green" that sounds, that's just unsustainable. We still need to decrease our fossil fuel extraction to basically zero. And we need some way to put that sequestered CO2 back into ground or somewhere where it doesn't get back to atmosphere.

Just planting 1T seedlings, collecting subsidies, and congratulating each other how we sequestered that calculated amount of CO2 is a totally fake activity.

We really need to do this one right.
I would say Amsterdam is one the least bike-friendly cities of The Netherlands. The streets are small, bike lanes are narrow and bike lanes are very crowded. That's not to say your opinion isn't valid, it's just that your experience would very likely be even better in any other city than Amsterdam in The Netherlands.

Yes. If don't eat or sleep you die. These are required activities, not things you can decide to do or not do, so they are not competing for free time.
Pick the one thing you are obsessive about, and then blend in the things that aid your great obsession. Some days you'll do more than others, you need a long term view; some things take years and years to achieve.
First step: come to terms with the fact that you cannot do everything that you want to do.

> if the German luxury brands get the hang of the electric thing Tesla’s going to be in severe danger.

Of course.

I think that what is frustrating and annoying to many people is that BMW, VW, Mercedes, et al., could have done the same as Tesla and done it better but they didn't. And the only rational conclusion is that they behaved that way because they were scared that they would cannibalize their existing product lines and because a number of high ranking people in the car business would have found themselves to be irrelevant and quite likely unemployed.

They have only themselves to blame for their short sighted, self serving, polluting, cheating behaviour.
If we reduce the number of people dying, you will still see stories just like this because they have an impact and they cause reflection. They're meaningful stories.

Many fewer people did die prematurely in the last 50 years, precisely because people did the work you're wanting them to do.

The reason this story even could happen is because it's so rare to hear stories like this anymore. It's not like the middle ages where 30-50% infant mortality was common. People wouldn't have the energy to organize emotional support for every child that died in those days.

Child mortality is dropping ridiculously fast. You can't get to zero though.

Cyberpunk 2077 Movie Could Be “A Possibility” Due to Keanu Reeves
Depends on what you want to do. If you are good with people, I suggest Information Assurance. It's basically consulting combined with cyber security. Most SMEs only require advice on basic network security, password management, how to avoid phishing attacks, social engineering attacks and ransomware, how to handle crises after being hacked etc. Checklists will get you a long way. Leave the reverse engineering of malware etc. to people with more interest and time. It is a more narrow field, takes a lot of additional effort and requires a fair bit of talent. If you are just going into cybersecurity for money, stick with IA. I know this is not a popular opinion on HN, but your average SME won't be able to do information security properly (remember, your average consumer believes in using an anti-virus to clean out a infected machine, when the correct thing to do is a complete wipe and reinstallation). Easier get them to offload most of their productivity tools to SaaSes and buy plenty of insurance than try to force FANG-level access control protocols on them.

There is a difference between "I don't know" and "undefined behaviour".

I know that most of this stuff is undefined according to the spec. But I (might) also know what my particular GCC version does in these cases.

What I know for sure, that those programs do output something, and it's not "I don't know" (the string) ; )

What I don't know, is what level of sophistication the author assumes.

One could also say that the second code sample is someone unwinding something that they are conceptualising as a set of nested operations:

All of them are equivalent, each representation has its advantages and disadvantages.

The way that Qwest CEO Joseph Nacchio so meaningfully resisted the government that he was convicted of insider trading for telling people his company would be successful when it actually relied on a government contract that was pulled in retaliation, which he couldn't use as a defense in court because of national security concerns?

You’re sort of taking a tangent on what I was saying. It’s not really relevant to my point.

Yes, the world is a much better place. Your article summarized it nicely:

My point is that more research compounded over decades would help us cure more people sooner.

I didn’t say we can cure everyone but perhaps we can make it extremely rare.

The thing about whataboutism is that it was correct. It was only a logical fallacy in the eyes of US jingoists who didn't want to admit that, actually, the US had tons of human rights violations and the US vs. USSR conflict was not a conflict of good vs. evil.

When both A and B do a thing X, there are two potential logically sound conclusions: either that X is bad and both A and B are in the wrong, or that it's not and neither is. It is unsound to say that A doing X is a problem but B doing X is merely a rhetorical accusation that requires no response.
