> Or they are just trying to get ahead of the argument and shut it down before it gets really uncomfortable.

That would make them not only anti-intellectual/pro-stupidity, but also assuming and acting in bad faith to shut down the discussion. A honest person would point out that the conversation makes them uncomfortable, and that they don't want to continue it.

> If you let these things run it’s course then it always ends up at the genetics/skull.

Except all the times it doesn't. Quite often, the conversation ends up being about voluntary preferences (people will e.g. point out that the weaker the economic pressures and the higher the freedom of choosing your own career, the more gender-segregated the job market becomes). Also, even if the discussion ends up at genetics, it's only ever a problem if one or both parties make the error of reasoning and passing judgements about individuals from population-level statistics.

> So it ends with “must be biological” because reasons, so “don’t do anything”.

It can be a valid and correct conclusion. If you starts by assuming something must be done, then there's no point in even having any discussion, because you've already made up your mind and seek justifications. It would be then best if you left the discussion to those who want to discover the truth about the issue.

> Seeing the same argument play out over and over, always ending at the same spot with no evidence is infuriating.

How can people tell, if they always shut the argument down beforehand with some underhanded maneuver like reading "don't do" and accusing the person of saying "can't do"?
Agree - and workplace rules shouldn’t be “don’t talk about X” but rather ”please avoid talking about X unless strictly necessary.

I think Patagonia actually still does max(10% profits, 1% revenue) which is where their 1% project came from. For a retailer, 1% of gross can be huge. I agree that in other industries with high margins, 1% (even of revenue) is pretty small.

The FAQ says that:

> Our members have given more than $225 million back to environmental nonprofits since 2002.

which I think agrees, as that’s under $15M/yr average (though I assume heavily weighted towards recent data).
Relevantly - if their Cherokee delegate is a non-voting delegate, then while they may have two representatives on the floor of the house speaking for their interests, they only have one who can be involved in the formal exercise of said House's power.

Game logic can be written on either side, as it largely depends on the use case. We strongly encourage developers to design their game logic to be run at server-side due to security considerations however.

As for interpolation, yes, that is entirely possible and completely in your control as well.

librg allows for entity peer streaming, which means that you as a player can take control over a specific entity (or entities) and provide your own updates for the server (such as player position or view angles, etc). It is entirely up to you really.

As an example, we also develop an unofficial multiplayer for Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, so we use librg as a server proxy for players. Since we can't replicate the game logic on server side, we trust the player in various aspects, such as his player position, animation states or even vehicle handling. This case leads us to librg being used on server as a proxy with minimal logic, that shares game-generated content between players and provides basic fact-checking.

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s3Ox5_4rQo

With librg, you are free to do as you please. Feel free to contact us on Discord or via GitHub issues/E-Mail.

True, but we can see galaxies that are already over the "light horizon." In other words, we can see light emitted from those galaxies when they were within the light horizon (the point where they were receding from us at less than c), and that light has a causal effect on us. Light emitted from the galaxy now, however, will never reach us because it is already receding from us faster than the speed of light.
The problem is that Wayland never going to reach feature parity by design for security and other opinionated reasons that alienate many power users.
Honestly, I'd assume both income and wealth are part of an abstract concept I'd call, in this instance, 'capital'.

The specific ways both are taxed or regulated depend too much on individual circumstances and governments, but the main point is you can't use a simple model that shows a 'well-off' income earner can make it into the top n% in 27 years, if the assumptions required to get that to work also gives the n% a greater or equivalent benefit.

That you can sign an NDA and it’s not a limitation of your freedom of speech (for example). There are thousands of situations were there are things you agree to not say.

Anything you agree with some entity that isn’t the government doesn’t count as infringing your freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech is a narrow legal thing. It’s not “I can say what I want when I want it”.
The President, the Congress, the Senate, every political instance has a direct link to labor code for example. They can make or remove laws that have a direct impact on working conditions. Unions must be able to talk about all this.
The price for space telescopes will come down dramatically once you no longer have to arrange for them to assemble themselves in orbit, or wait for surplus hills from spy agencies.

You can lose all the systems used on Earth to compensate for atmospheric and gravitational effects, and launch it to an orbit well above any satellite constellation to eliminate satellite trails from the picture.

With the advent of heavy and super heavy launchers there will no longer be an absolute focus on reducing weight. This alone will bring the cost of space telescopes by an order of magnitude.

Space telescopes also completely avoid the problem of facility construction impinging on indigenous sacred sites.
HN to me is the ideal model of modern, democratic publisher for the times we live in. Content here is self-moderated and slightly editorialized. The community strives for a civil, educated debate and penalizes who doesn't follow suit. I don't know if HN would scale in a larger context, like in FB/Twitter feed scale, or on more personal networks ie Whatsapp or Telegram. Also comment sections of newspapers or Youtube should have a more HN-like moderation and overall charter to make it more civil.

It really drives me nuts to not be able to vote or moderate down or my family members that publish fake news to Whatsapp, or read racist and mysogenist comments in YouTube that seems to persist regardless of downvoting and flagging.

It sounds idealistic, but I really think the world would be a much better place if the HN culture and processes could be somehow automated and embedded into public and private threads everywhere as some sort of nearly inescapable standard.
At some point in the far distant future the night sky will be black, with everything being beyond our visible edge of the universe.

Not exactly. Second layer transactions sit on top, so the hard max of 4200 "settlements"[1] in a block does not necessarily mean 4200 transactions.

With enough people using the second layer network, each "settlement" could mean finalising hundreds of transactions for thousands of people. This second layer network acts like a caching layer, and consolidates many transactions into a single transaction (put into very simple terms).

This gets repeated over and over again, but the causality of this has never been proven, as incredible as that may sound.

Yes, the causality of "create too much money -> inflation" is plausible (but note the emphasis on "too much").

However, we live in a world of endogenous money, where money is largely created by commercial banks in the form of loans to private entities. When prices increase, those loans get bigger. So there is also the causality "inflation -> create more money".

At the same time, there are other factors that can drive inflation, such as workers and companies exercising price setting power (which Econ 101 likes to pretend doesn't exist, but plays an important role in the real world).

So yeah, the causality that you're casually throwing out there hasn't actually been proven as the driving factor here.

At the same time, the widespread belief in it and similar misunderstandings causes us as a society to make extremely damaging macroeconomic policy decisions, in particular the decision to attempt to fight recessions using monetary policy instead of fiscal policy.
The situation is different. People who are apolitical on a topic tend to stay away from discussions on the topic, but do not actively prevent others from having those discussions. Except some of those who are into politics like to have this discussion everywhere, all the time. At work, at school, at church, at the bar, everywhere. Left unchecked, this makes loudest, most emotional people infect every aspect of everyone's lives with discussion on their pet topic. That's why apolitical people fight to have "safe spaces" like the workplace, where everyone is actually supposed to be working, and not constantly getting derailed into politics by someone with an axe to grind.

You have the picture of the battleground completely wrong on this. It's not apolitical people shutting down oppressed minorities. It's a minority of people with an opinion on a topic fighting it out with a different minority with a different opinion on the subject, and both sides try to recruit followers to their side from the larger population of people indifferent to the issue, using the "if you're not with us you're against us" argument. Whereas what the larger population wants to say to both groups is, "fight it out among yourself and leave as alone, and for the love of everything that's holy, mind the collateral damage".

(See also https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21276788 for another take on how a political side feels to both those who disagree with it and those who just want to be left alone.)
"Identical" is a really strong word. The original Gameboy had all sorts of quirks due to the low price target of the device and the technical limitations of the time. The way the bits are tossed around inside will be very similar to the original hardware, and programming it will be roughly identical (it'd have to be to run all the old games accurately and at the same speed), but all the interfaces to the real world will be quite different.

This thing has HD color output...that's definitely not identical, but it's not a bad thing. The audio output is also a modern signal path...we probably wouldn't want it to be the same whiny/noisy output as the original at this price. And, oddly, some people do what's called a "prosound mod" on original GameBoys to clean it up a bit and obtain better frequency response, though I think that's silly...I just embrace all the quirks and accept that it's how GameBoy music sounds, if I wanted pristine I'd use my 24-bit 192KHz interface on my computer that's like a million times more powerful.

I think the cool thing about projects like this (and I'm excited about several of them) is that we get devices that we don't worry about dying, that remind us strongly of the ones we grew up with or enjoy tinkering with because of their limitations. Even if they aren't identical. If you really want identical, just buy a GameBoy. You can get original ones in good working condition for cheaper than this (though you might have to go through a few to get one that's actually in good working condition without screen problems...I bought like five on eBay to end up with two in mostly good shape, but the one with the best screen has also developed dead vertical lines since I've had it, but total spent was probably less than $200, including shipping).
Surprisingly, you are right about the Renaissance paintings. Orthodox Christian icons almost never depict him. The so-alled Pantokrator icons depict regnant Jesus, the Son.
SciShow Space recently did an episode on Brown Dwarfs. They suggest that there might be so many brown dwarfs (which are hard to see), that they could account for a large portion of the "missing" mass.

And there's a theory that says there are small "primordial" black holes all over the place, which are also hard to detect individually, but together could also account for a large part of the missing mass.

Perhaps invisible brown dwarfs and invisible black holes are an easier pill to swallow than mysterious dark masses/energies?
One does not pass a variable in an HDL design ;-). Trying to pluck software principles onto FPGAs is wasting so much performance. Get one with the underlying hardware and map your problem onto them, not an intermediate SW-like representation. Like some other comment mentioned, get one with the clock and your design will fly.
They all observe the effects of gravitation, don't they? Whether it is deviations in lensing or the velocity and density distribution or visible matter, they all seem to have the same source, but it doesn't say anything more about the nature of the source of the deviation.
‘Digital welfare state’: big tech allowed to target and surveil the poor
I’ve really thought that something like this was needed for a long time. Why isn’t there standardised containers for user management and permissions, authentication, scheduling things, processing events, caching say... there are off the shelf containers for simple things like proxying but nothing that understands your application. And it looks like they have taken it further to include Functions and Actors which might be useful and allow easier scaling of certain things. Let’s hope this goes some way to addressing that.
The idea that bitcoin is 'wasteful' is entirely missing the solution that bitcoin is. Byzantine Generals Problem.

This network is unmatched in it's provability and security.

There is a turing complete machine, operating that can be trusted. Seriously, the possibilities are limitless but guess what, they do have a cost. And there are too many con-artists around. But an industry that is changing the entire monetary policy around world is very impactful. It's changing it and you'll notice in the coming years how much monetary policy is going to change. The grand experiment is about to happen. Are we going back to gold? Are we going to innovate a replacement that's better than crypto? How is 'money' going to function in the 21st century?

P.S. Proof of Stake is terrible in it's economics. If you think rent-seeking is good, then PoS is for you. It's not for me and I think it's terrible based on the game theory of it. Remember the 'We are the 99%' chants? Yeah, not going to go over well.
For an example, see the results of RMS' recent pedantic take on the Epstein case.
> Of course, those who make the "publisher or platform, pick one!" false dichotomy aren't really genuinely concerned about the size of the company. They just want to force someone to host their content,

It is not nice to lump us all together. Many of us here both

- despise certain content

- while we still find it totally unacceptable that tech giants are allowed to do whatever they want with their power "because hate speech"

This is just a variant of introducing bad laws "because of terrorism":

The laws are bad not because anyone wants terrorism but because we don't want anybody to be punished without a good reason.

And today as tech giants wields more power than many courts or - in many but obviously not all ways - even small countries it might be time to make sure they have to be careful with that power.

I don't see a link to dig into the Open Application Model, and I don't have time to search for one tonight. Maybe kubernetes can benefit from a higher level of abstraction than helm charts provides, but I would need to see some use cases. I did get a kick out of:

>> He also argues that Kubernetes itself is too complicated for enterprise developers. “At this point, it’s really infrastructure-focused,” he said. “You want a developer to focus on the app. What we saw when we talked to Kubernetes shops, they don’t let developers near Kubernetes.”

Not sure what he means by "get near" but it's really not that complicated to use kubectl to interrogate and modify the cluster. All of the back end engineers on our small team are comfortable with it.

You could trade your Bitcoin for Ethereum with A and then trade Ethereum with Bitcoin with B and you get back Bitcoin that can't be digitally tied back to your original source.
There is no direct evidence for dark matter. It is a placeholder for observations that don’t match theory. There are many current experiments trying to detect proposed particles but so far none has been detected.
Bitcoin's main function is store of value, with the additional benefit of being relatively easy to transfer. It is basically a more convenient form a gold.

After all these years of growth, Bitcoin's market cap becomes its own unique edge. One simply cannot transfer significant amount, say tens of millions of dollars, easily in any other crypto currency.

The cost of energy is minuscule compared to alternative means of achieving the same: vaults, guards, banks, lawyers, etc.
How to Make a Scatter Plot in R with Ggplot2
There's a spectrum here. Someone even more explicit than you may insist that `average` should be split up into explicit bindings for the mapping to Int, the sum, and the count.

Also, for non-toy examples, there are real benefits to composing transformations, so that you don't pay the memory and performance costs of assigning intermediate sequences.

I don't know what most Algolia customers are like, but we have been using them for a long time and we are a team of... 2 (only 1 being a technical person).

So hiring a whole team to work on search is certainly not an option for everyone. By paying $29 / month and spending a couple of hours on integration, you get a working search that most small shops will be happy with. That sounds like a valuable proposition to me.

I am under NDA so all I can say is that publicly available data (sensortower or appanie for example) says Niantic has received literally billions of dollars from in-app purchases from players. This may or may not be correct but the amount is likely not “nearly $0”
Adding two characters isn't strictly needed for that -- you're relying on the assumption that (c - 'a') is of type character, but it's actually the offset between two characters. The rules for those two types would be:

char + char = invalid

char + offset = offset + char = char

offset + offset = offset

char - char = offset

char - offset = char

offset - char = invalid

offset - offset = offset

Given that, (c - 'a') + 'A' is perfectly valid without adding two characters.
