You’re really asking why vigilantism is illegal.

Vigilantism has a mixed record at best in the US. The more infamous groups include the KKK, lynch mobs, and various mafias.
It's a Murdoch publication after all. Try not to set your sights too high.
They need to do the same with Antifa. Regardless of what side of the political spectrum you associate with, violence...is violence.
Type inference is going forwards not backwards. Languages with "modern" type systems (Haskell, Ocaml, Rust, Swift, etc) have had inference from the start and it doesn't compromise type safety. There's a big difference between dynamically typed and type inferred. Haskell, for instance, was designed to have globally decideable inference (you don't have to write any type signatures if you don't want to), while still being completely type safe. Type inference is a wonderful thing, and I'm glad 'maintstream' languages are getting it. Albeit 30 years later...

What I feel doesn't matter. What matters is the truth. I don't know that the whole thing is true, but the odds that it's "just" Epstein and NXVIM (itself a rather disturbingly large operation, if you read about the court cases, albeit not exactly an unprecedented one; "sex cult" is almost a redundant phrase, if you look at the history of such things, in that cults almost always involve "weird sex stuff"; the weird thing about this one is who was involved rather than its nature) strike me as low. Whether it's just a bit bigger or way bigger, heck if I know. My understanding of my ignorance grows every year, and sometimes it seems like that's all that really does, despite my continuing to acquire "facts" over time.

But I do know that in terms of understanding this sort of thing, you can't get anywhere by discarding true signal. Epstein and NXVIM are real, and that needs to be grappled with.
Is the evidence actually solid for the minimum wage thing?

My half-informed impression was that it's not–demand for labor is often surprisingly inelastic. Maybe you can go from 100 to 95 people on an assembly line, but you can't have 0.95 of a person taking orders. Also, increasing someone's salary by $1/hr only costs a few thousand dollars per year (~2000 working hours/year + payroll taxes).
Anyone able to expand on:

"The dynamic linker accepts the --preload argument to preload shared

I see the ultimate solution to be a way of making cars not be hot when parked. I live in Florida, and the first 10 minutes of every car ride is the AC trying to get rid of the residual heat from being parked. I would happily spend $5000 more on a car that was not a hot-box when parked. There is no law of physics that says that the car interior must be sealed when the occupant leaves the car.

There are third-party solutions like https://www.walmart.com/ip/Solar-Powered-Car-Vent-Window-Fan... , but this is just a workaround for the fact that the typical car is not properly vented for a warm climate while parked. I understand that there are theft concerns with more venting, and that for cars in cold climates you would rather the car hold its heat while parked. Nevertheless, I think that car companies could solve this problem easily by having extra vents which would open when the car was put in park to keep the car interior at around the same temperature as the outside air.

You might be in the wrong thread. I was talking about Google.
it was announced in the article!
I never really got the point of them since they were usually for things that stored really well and get used up at a relatively constant rate so it's usually not a surprise when you run out, so like why would I need to rush and blindly push the button to buy more detergent/toothpaste of a certain brand without knowing the price when I'd just eventually buy it in my normal shopping run/order.
I know a few people who are into UFO stuff and think that's exactly what was done to cover up evidence of alien presence. They also think a lot of the more common conspiracy-type mythology and fringe stuff in the UFO circuit is nonsense put out there to make the topic look silly.

It would definitely work.
I don't think anyone doubts Epstein's guilt at this point. The conspiracy angle is more about who else among the "world elite" joined him in his crimes and tried to cover them up.

Webpack is just a bundler, it doesn't turn modern code into overly verbose legacy code on its own. Babel's the real troublemaker because by default it's still acting like it's the original 6to5 package. Using it to turn draft features into working ES2018 is sensible, using it to convert all the way down to ES5 for anything that isn't IE11 (which is basically the only legacy browser left at this point), not so much.
"The chances of this exact event are 1 in a trillion, therefore with a high degree of confidence, it isn't happening and I am in fact hallucinating. You're not real, Bob from highschool!"

And imagine how often you almost run into acquaintances on the street, and don't notice. It must happen more often than when you do notice. If you made a concerted effort to look for near-coincidences, you would suddenly find yourself noticing lots more unlikely things that were happening all along.

Once you start digging into someone's life you'll learn all sorts of things that might seem really unlikely... but you'd find unlikely things in someone's life picked at random, you just never dug into them, because they're not accused of murder.
>you can't get anywhere by discarding true signal.

What does that mean?
WebAssembly: Status, WebIDL Bindings, and Roadmap
Amazon was no longer allowed to sell them in Germany earlier this year. Consumer protection agency said the button isn't a clear enough buying agreement (here payment forms need to make clear it costs money to click, exact price, what you buy). Amazon allowed itself to change the product, e.g. amount of washing liquid.
> I will say that when I was younger I often wanted a bodybuilder physique, but I didn't have the discipline to eat enough to support proper muscle growth. Now I'm just glad I'm not going the seemingly inevitable route of becoming an overweight middle-aged office worker that morphs into their chair.

This can't be reiterated enough. Fasting helped me NOT eat all day while sitting at a desk. I eat no breakfast during the week and have a light salad for lunch and then have a regular dinner. The only byproducts I've come across is a slightly higher sensitivity to caffeine and I'm more alert.
I'm about 6 hours away from ending a 5 day fast. I can't confirm all of the benefits from the article (I'm neither a diabetic, spiritual person, nor suffering from cancer), but I can attest to the power of the final quote in the article: "'Anyone can reach his goals if he can think, if he can wait, if he can fast.'”

Two main takeaways I've gained from fasting (I've done multiple 24 hour fasts prior to this 5 day one):

1. You don't need to eat nearly as often as you think. Hunger pangs are usually just food cravings, and drinking lots and lots of water, water you should probably be drinking anyway, will mask them more easily than one would expect.

2. The successful self-deprivation of food (in a healthy, reasonable way) and the almost exclusively positive benefits that it brings makes you wonder how much of an economic and nationwide health impact the USA would see if everyone practiced some form of fasting.
Yes, but at $19.99 it's pretty expensive. I don't know what the right price point for something like this but, given the fact they are easily lost, definitely < $5, more like $1.

HW people on HN, is this impossible at scale?
Nobody considers the phone network to be equivalent :)

Even current smartphones do not turn on their microphones outside of a call, unless one has made the huge mistake to turn their assistants on, or there's an app recording - and at least on iOS that's controllable by permissions and marked clearly when the app is in the background.

Anyway, smartphones are creepy too.
Amazon already has their Subscribe and Save program.

I actually really liked the dash buttons for those items that I did not use as regularly, but the number of items like that are pretty low to warrant having more than 2 or 3 of these things.

Then when I rebuilt my wireless network I just did not care to move them over.
Personally I think that just makes code harder to read, and more difficult to refactor. You get benefits from leaving things inferred in some places when refactoring, preventing you from having to change a bunch of additional signatures just because you made a single change.

And the language you use is probably using aliases too in it's stdlib, so why hate on aliases? They are a great way to abstract away the details.

The boundary I prefer is to explicitly type function signatures, and leave everything else (or as much of it as I can) inferred.
I disagree that most conspiracy theorists are mentally ill, except maybe in some extremely loose definition of the term, where mere illogic is equated with mental illness.

I like this quote from Michael Shermer: "Smart people believe weird things because they are skilled at defending beliefs they arrived at for non-smart reasons." Smart people frequently get involved in conspiracy theories through a combination of confirmation bias and the spinning-wheels-in-the-sand effect where they become more entrenched in their beliefs by being forced to defend them.

Being illogical is not necessarily mental illness. Sometimes, it's just pig-headed stubbornness.

At 53 also and a number of career reboots, as well as staying at home raising kids, my observation is the same about the making life up as they (we) go along. Conversations with friends who cashed out at 7 figures after reaching very high levels in very large corps just affirms the view for me. Pretty much everyone appears to be winging it. There is a definite comfort and freedom in this realization.
I don’t know if it’s that far off. Our current notions of progress haven't allowed us to avoid our current condition of extreme indebtedness and financial insecurity and I think we're at a point where we need to reexamine these notions. I don't think the author does enough to do that.
Then what about the military? The police?

They are both violent. But terrorism is not just violence. Terrorism doesn't have to be violent although most often is.
Are there any credible analysis who is behind qanon?
It seems pretty clear that it's a disinformation project, or something along those lines to get power and control a subset of people, from some actor, but who is it attributed to?
I know with APT's in infosec after a while we can attribute the various groups to regimes because of the timing of actions and interests they protect, is there any similar analysis of Q?
I think the obsession with billionaires and the glorification of rich people should stop. The public discourse often feels like we just need to keep rich people happy so they can shower their generosity through “created ” jobs on the rest of the population.
I don't think what you describe really directly relates to an internal memo.

>Only recently, after anti-trust investigation threats from POTUS has discussion even been allowed on major social media sites.

I don't think that is accurate in any way. The Q stuff and other conspiracies have bee active online for a long time before any of that, and still quite active through today.

What they're describing here is close to the popular 16:8 variant of intermittent fasting. I found that it doesn't really work for weight loss for me.

Instead, I'm using the Every Other Day Diet variant of intermittent fasting which arguably is the best researched one. It helped me drop weight significantly in 2015 with little trouble (details: http://lukasz.langa.pl/9/i-lost-26-pounds-in-3-months/).

Sadly, since I stopped cycling regularly two years back and dropped the diet a year ago, I regained what I lost and then some. So I'm back on intermittent fasting now.

Recommendations based on my experience:

- weigh yourself daily in the morning, as the very second thing you're doing

- a Withings scale or similar helps putting this in a database efortlessly which helps seeing trends

- observe your moving average of 7 days

- eat just a light lunch (circa 500 kcal) every other day; it's easy to skip breakfast knowing there's going to be lunch soon and it's possible to skip dinner knowing "it's Eat Day tomorrow!"

- eat what you want on Eat Day but do it slowly, your body will quickly adapt to your fasts, the stomach will shrink and it's going to be easier to get full

- let people know you're losing weight and how, they will probably tell you you're more grumpy on Non-Eat Days

Good luck!
Isn't the point of a pull request to submit code that functionally fixes a bug/adds a small feature, and then work on that patch until it's of sufficient quality to merge in? Things like style formatting, running tests among other things could be totally automated away here.
Airbnb Clone with React Native Part 2: Login Screen UI
In the HBO show Chernobyl one of the engineers talks about an area the size of Europe being rendered uninhabitable if things went wrong. That's a real quote taken from a book about people's reminiscences of the disaster and some Soviet engineer probably did say that at some point. But he was either exaggerating for effect or wrong.
Computation Structures
Somewhat surprisingly, this doesn't seem to be the case. Your average middle-class person in the west probably uses less today than 30 years ago; all major appliances (particularly lighting and heating) are more efficient, TVs are much more efficient, cars are much more efficient.

World power consumption is going up largely due to a rapidly growing middle class, but within that class, not so much.
Of course I don't think you need AI for this. You just need something that is slightly interactive so you can modify the learning path to be more efficient. You could even do it with a book. That is the real win of adopting technology, that it can change your mindset. Presumably that is also why the mindset sometime come before the technology, with things like sci-fi. Unfortunately I think in many markets people are focusing on just adopting technology, but not the mindset. So you don't get all the benefits or even make things worse. You get fancy proof of concepts that don't do much at scale.

The main function of a phone is to make phone calls. In order to do that, it activates a microphone during the call.

This is not the same as listening, never mind always listening.
A home assistant must always listen in order to recognize the activation words.
It would be interesting to get more information. Having a severe appetite while your body rebuilds seems reasonable. And needing more of a particular kind of food during that time (calcium? protein?) also seems reasonable. I wonder if you moved the three eggs to lunch time what would happen? In other words, is it now the three eggs or the skipping breakfast?

My own experience is that unless I have been strenuously active skipping breakfast does not have any negative effects.
We should separate observation from explanation. There are plenty of valuable observations made by people and these observations should stand on their own without the observer also having to explain it.
Reasonable requirements. Scary to think the majority of developers don't know anything about performance. The majority I talk to don't even know what http2 is!

Super popular REST libraries like Flask, Django, and Rails don't even support it!!

That's why choosing the right language and framework is super important from the beginning. It's easy to choose something slow as mollases and get left in the dust with constant performance problems
That's due to technology; not capitalism, they aren't the same thing.

A huge amount of R&D happens in academia which isn't capitalism; but then is monetised by capitalism (but doesn't reinvest it back into the academia)
Sorry; sort of referencing information theory and also the rationalism movement. One way of thinking about information is "the extent to which something is a surprise". The rationalists point out that you need to be sensitive to that. Dismissing NXVIM and Epstein today may seem easy, but the question is, would you have believed the truth about them before you heard it [1]? If not, that is a surprise to you, real information, real signal, and you shouldn't discard it.

It does not mean that the only logical conclusion is to believe Pizzagate must be true in its entirity!!!11!1. But it does mean you have something to grapple with, a strong signal that your previous model is false in some manner. Brains are lazy and take least effort paths, and the least effort path is just to ignore that there was a contradiction, but your really shouldn't do that.

For myself and my priors, Pizzagate as a whole is a bit much to swallow. But "Epstein and NXVIM are the tip of an iceberg, albeit one much smaller than Pizzagate" is not at all. As I alluded to earlier, there's plenty of history that would support that no problem. Read accounts of cults and what they were like to live in from those who escaped, for instance. Human psychology has some very strange, yet weirdly popular, corner cases in it, especially weird ones around group behavior. I do not understand them either intuitively or intellectually, I can not explain them, but clearly they exist.

[1]: Bearing in mind that Epstein today is still just somewhat well-sourced allegations with a lot of prior reason to believe they are plausible even just from the mainstream news reports of the past including public knowledge of related past convictions, but that NXVIM has been through court cases and some verdicts have been reached, though I believe they are ongoing overall.
While that is true in this specific instance, history is pretty rife with dictators slaughtering entire classes of educated people. Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge are the first example I have off the top of my head.

I'm curious where you live. Are lawns not common?

Even in Ontario, not particularly hot or dry, people water to prevent their lawns from turning brown in August.
Glad you've found what works for you! Just wanted to comment that I love that you abbreviated OMAD. I've done it too and after a week or so of feeling a little dizzy around 3pm, my body fully adapted to OMAD. I just find it funny that the strategy may be well known enough to use an acronym.
>I think people feel the need to add a scientific explanation to things where in my view the pure observation that it seems to work would be enough already.

I really could not disagree more, given how much conflicting health information I see talked about seemingly daily.
A banana or apple for lunch isn't fasting. Fasting is, in most circles, the exclusion of caloric intake. Some would suggest that it's the specific exclusion of calories and anything that triggers an insulin response in the body, but that's debatable.

Not debatable though is if eating an apple for lunch means you're still fasting; you aren't.

What's the difference between static typing with an Any type and optional typing?
Yeah, but women need to consider the desires of men who want to keep them oppressed. /s

Replace the word "women" with "black people abducted from Africa" and change the time period to the 15-1800s in the US/Europe. "I'm all for the liberation of enslaved black people, but it needs to be done slowly, in a sensitive manner..." It's amazing how, when you get a religion involved that says oppression is good and right, that you can justify stuff like slavery and oppression.
Any market maker's bid-ask spread will be dictated by a combination of factors, including aspects like latency (relative to competitors), expectations on holding time, historical volatility and spread (that one is somewhat circular), availability of information from correlated markets, ability to hedge into correlated markets (and what are _those_ spreads, as the market maker will be crossing that spread to hedge), trading fees, etc.

In markets where many of those aspects can be minimized, market makers will end up very tight and the dominant factor becomes latency. a fast market maker can offer a tighter spread to counterparties and will see a virtuous cycle of increased trading opportunities leading to revenue to stay fast.

If the other factors remain significant risks, then the benefits of latency optimization fall off. So, spread and latency are related, but other market fundamentals do play a part.
