> but just because you really like something doesn't mean you can declare it to be something that many, many people have been spent decades determining the criteria by which it is judged

Please provide us with the entire canonical list of objective criteria by which film is determined to be art. I can only assume from this statement and its confidence that there is such a list, and that it is universally agreed upon. After all, it's not as if "art" is a broad and deeply subjective category, even when applied to the medium of film.

Because, of the two criteria you've provided, I could name plenty of films commonly considered "art" which didn't evoke either a revelation or a complex emotion which I couldn't describe.
Why is frame foundation embossed with a regular hexagonal pattern? Is it just for aesthetics?

No slur intended re: “just for aesthetics” by the way, I respect how a lot of amateur beekeeping is focused on prize winning.
Nukes have signatures. This does not. Just a little aerosol in your general vicinity would likely do the job and you'd never be the wiser. Besides that it is orders of magnitude easier and cheaper to do this than build a nuke once you can mail order for genetic sequences delivered to your door.
“Unlimited & More” just makes me laugh so cynically.

It reminds me of a time I saw an Olive Garden food truck offering unlimited soup, salad and breadsticks.

Do the people in line understand conservation of mass? What must be happening inside that truck to support “unlimited” food.
They can't at least where I am. And my experience with was more about getting that appointment fee so treatment is spread over many appointments.

Still a better experience compared to doctors. Anything internal seems to be an area they don't understand yet. Perhaps in time things will get better.

After the experience I strongly believe anyone should be able to buy medicine without a prescription. There are good and bad things that could come from that but I believe freedom of choice should be more available in this area.

As another Linux fan, you are indeed correct that Excel is awesome. But I think Visio is awesomer. You have LibreOffice Calc that gets within the ballpark of Excel, but nothing is decently close to Visio on Linux.

It's not the government's right to tell you not to ruin your life. That is the domain of the family, friends, community, or religious group. People have had many options for self-destruction for thousands of years, yet we still survived. That people automatically assume the worst would happen if the police state stops watching over them is telling that we have gotten too cynical about our social structures.

Yes, heroin alters your free will. That's why it shouldn't be illegal. You should not punish someone dealing drugs to support their non-free will'd habit because the drug removed their intent.

Also all of the examples of destructive heroin addicts you know are from a system that prohibits it. You don't know what our culture would look like in a free market drugs universe. Knowing that there is no safety net, you would probably get mocked and beaten up for expressing an intent to use heroin. Addiction wouldn't be externalized to the government, and families would have to deal with addicts instead of the prison system. Culture would evolve drastically. People have coexisted with addictive plants for thousands of years before the police state showed up.
Everyone hates government spending, until they want another handout.

We already massively subsidize rural living costs, stop that and the free market would raise wages to compensate without the need for government intervention.

Subsidized, farms, roads, healthcare, telecoms, deliveries, airports, etc etc it’s just wasteful.

The more interesting question here is what Robinhood’s clearing house is exposed to. It’s been a while since I looked but they don’t clear themselves and the clearing house may have had exposure.

If that’s the case you can expect the relationship to change. Robinhood will either lose some capabilities or will pay more for clearing.
Only 30-50 people die from dog bites in the US per year. That's an average of one or less per state! Does that mean "dog bites man" is news, too?

Also, your tone suggests you're ignoring the word "founded".
That was pretty insensitive and pretty ignorant of the reality of life for some of us here. This is a mental health thread. Comments like yours aren't needed. The commenter you responded to didn't elaborate beforehand so you just assumed away a whole host of possible valid explanations for why they feel they are dying slowly; way to go. Next time please be more thoughtful if you can?
Why not?

This is very true! Fentanyl tends to cause less respiratory depression at higher doses than opioids like morphine.

And if you hate the indentation from the `if (result) {}` you can combine this with the poor man's ? operator.

const result = await funcThatReturnSomeType().catch(convertError); // result: SomeType | Error
if (isError(result)) return result;
// now result: SomeType

EDIT: the ? operator in question - https://doc.rust-lang.org/edition-guide/rust-2018/error-hand...
That's not what that means. But ironically, you appear to be demonstrating its truth.
The Czech Republic definitely shows one way to approach the EU: get the transfer payments from a political union and partial economic union (in trade policy, etc.), as well as remittances from emigrants employed elsewhere in the free-movement zone, but retain an independent floating currency and avoid monetary union. Greece would've been in a considerably different position if they had taken the Czech route and stayed out of the Euro. Arguably a better position, though that's not something all economists agree on. Certainly a different one, at any rate.

Guns are most certainly regulated in the US and quite heavily.

You can’t make a gun to sell without an ATF license. All guns must have serials numbers and customers pre-screened.

And that’s just federal law. Many states have even greater regulations.
>The reality is that Walmart's Chinese-sourced non-food goods (including clothing, auto parts, and general household supplies)

A surprising amount of stuff in home good stores is US/Canada/Mexico made. The production of many home goods is a natural fit for developed nations (this is way outside the scope of this comment but they're generally highly automated and clean eroding the two primary advantages of offshoring) and then when you tack shipping on top it makes sense. North America makes a heck of a lot of stuff, it just doesn't employ many people to do it.

You can also get rid of `if(result){}` by setting the return type of "doSomethingWithErr" to "never":

function doSomethingWithErr(err: any): never {
throw new Error("Oops");
}

let result: SomeType;
try {
result = await funcThatReturnSomeType();
} catch (err) {
doSomethingWithErr(err);
}
// because doSomethingWithErr has return type "never", result will be definitely assigned.
doSomething(result);

..or just return in the catch block.
> I'm not against that but what is wrong with using a carrot?

Depends on how you, um, use the carrot. I'd recommend eating it, but there are many other ways it could bring joy.

In the context of quoting, using a caret (this symbol: ^) is not common, with the exception of saying THIS^.

The ">" symbol is officially known as the "greater-than sign"[1]. That's the one you probably meant.

Ask HN: Does higher pay offer on exiting a job reveal employee's real value?
A scenario: an employee, Orion, is announcing to exit a job in a company, RapidData, due to monetary reason.

On announcing the exit, Orion is being offered 180% of current pay if he decides to stay in RapidData. Orion's responsibility will not change because of the raise.

Does this indicate that:

1.) Orion's value has been 180% of current pay the whole time

OR

2.) Orion's value rose because of scarcity based on supply-demand law?
I meant it's probably not going to be the same "core reason".

You're right that the marketplace of ideas is the weak point in the article. Because it's not a marketplace; it's many marketplaces, and different ideas have found their purchase in each places. Microtargeting, in other words.

The press, owing to its capital investment, was necessarily more unifying, more focal, than the media of today. Now, one can be bombarded with information from all angles, and if you're not travelling between marketplaces, you can get an odd idea of what the going rate for truth is. Information truly obfuscates, just like choice is fatiguing.
Now that trades are free everywhere, nothing sets apart Robinhood anymore. Robinhood may yet become the next WeWork.

Correct. This article reads like someone who has no knowledge of, or familiarity with, trademark law. Trademarks have to be defended or they are lost, and additionally almost all trademarks are applied to a very broad list of things just as standard practice. Even if your company is only making T-shirts, for instance, it would be very common to also have your trademarks cover toys, dishes, tools, and all kinds of other products just in case you might want to plaster your trademark on those in the future.

That being said, the fundamental purpose of trademarks is to eliminate consumer confusion. In order to defend against a challenge, you would need to present to the court strong evidence that there is very little chance a consumer might be confused as to the maker or origin of the goods due to the name. For instance, if you made a line of frozen pizzas and called them 'backcountry style' pizzas, is there a chance that some consumers might think those pizzas were made by Backcountry.com? You've got to be able to show that this is not a likely scenario even if Backcountry.com starts manufacturing frozen foods (assuming the trademark covers frozen foods, I have no idea if it does, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did).

I developed a website for reserving parking near airports and seaports years ago and the site launched under the name BookParkFly.com. Shortly thereafter, the business (I was just a contracted web developer) received a letter from a lawyer representing the people who owned a sorta-similar trademark in the same space for a company called, if I remember correctly, Park 'N Fly. I personally thought we might have been able to win a challenge in court, but the company didn't want to fight it so changed the name and rebranded everything. (It's Book2Park now if you're curious, but I severed ties with them years ago. Before they were featured on Krebs after getting someone else to slap in an insecure Wordpress blog after I told them if Wordpress was going to be used it had to be watched closely for security concerns...)

Trademark challenges aren't "bullying" or "aggressive". They're basic law 101 and really shouldn't surprise anyone in business. That's why you pay an attorney to do a trademark search if you really want to use a certain name.
I havent researched the orbital dynamics much here, but wouldnt it be possible for the satellite fragments resulting from a collision at orbital speeds to have much greater speeds, possibly ending up in elliptical orbits with lower total drag? Seems like just waiting for orbits to decay after a Kessler syndrome like event wouldnt be feasible.
Intel and AMD don't hasn't any hinting instructions. Mostly it will affect inlining and well move unlikely code away so the likely path in straight.

But is can already figure that out often especially if it sees exceptions.

Better is to just use the profile guided optimization in the compiler.
When math is involved, it's much easier to read code with short variable and function names.

The other thing to keep in mind is some of what drives IV drug use is efficiency.

You get way more for your buck injecting heroin than smoking a much bigger dose.

If opioids were legal, I wonder how many would just be popping cheap OxyContin instead of shooting fentanyl laced heroin.
If it quacks like an alpha, is documented like an alpha, and is unreliable like an alpha... it's production ready because the vendor took the beta label off it.

That’s the thing. A company like REI wants to do good by its customers, but a large enough fraction of them make it into a game. I knew people who’d buy something outgrow it and return it to buy the new thing they wanted. I mean, c’mon, but there you have it, the same old ugly reason we can’t have nice things for long. People abuse these niceties till they adjust or die.
Microsoft's AI Research Draws Controversy over Possible Disinformation Use
I don't like how you're being downvoted for asking a legitimate question in apparent good-faith. This idea can be genuinely counterintuitive the first time you encounter it.

The issue is that, normally when a country with its own currency is economically uncompetitive, its currency weakens, which helps give a boost to domestic industry by making their exports cheaper than those of richer nations. So there's a natural corrective function to economic fragility that helps these countries get back on their feet. The Eurozone breaks that corrective mechanism: without the Euro, right now e.g. Greece would have a weak currency and Germany a much stronger one, which would help Greek industry because their products would be cheaper than Germany's. But since they're all using the Euro, Greece can't get any kind of comparative economic advantage.

You need a nuclear reactor to supply the neutrons for transmutation into plutonium, so this isn't something you can do at home. That video just shows the preliminary step of making neptunium slugs to be irradiated.

The processes are all difficult from a chemical engineering standpoint. Most of the materials involved are toxic or radioactive or corrosive or flammable or several of the above.

Enrichment plants are smaller now. They used to be city-sized; now they're the size of a large WalMart.[1] But not garage-sized.

Incidentally, there's a huge glut of depleted uranium in uranium hexaflouride solution form. Hundreds of thousands of tons. This is what uranium enrichment plants have left over after they've separated out the good stuff, which is under 1%. There's not enough demand for depleted uranium to run it through the chemical process to get metallic uranium out. Potentially it could be used in breeder reactors, if there were any that worked well.

You don't have to live in a log cabin, I am not talking only of pandemics but also the mental well-being of people who want to spread their elbows a bit using the copious land available on Earth, and you don't have to hunt or grow your own wheat to live in a suburban or semi-rural place and buy food and products locally (although there is nothing wrong or crazy about hunting and growing some of your own food, if you want to... we just also have this thing called "money" that you can trade for goods and services that you don't want to provide yourself).

I'm only responding now in an attempt to get you to reconsider the frankly baseless assumptions that you are asserting as facts – the truth is, and the point is: there are ways for people to live efficiently enough in urban, suburban, and rural settings, and we should stop judging that very personal preference and instead focus our time and investments on improving efficiencies across the spectrum (and fighting always to enforce legislation that engenders more competition in every marketplace).
Having been through that bubble, I'm fairly confident FOMO had a huge effect. Every single person I know was asking how to buy some. You can even see it on Google Trends[1].

Why do you have to compare desktop operating systems? An iPad Pro running the latest OS is faster than most x86 PCs, run Office and now Photoshop and can easily take the place of a desktop computer for many people.

But regardless, if you are referring to “successful”. Which I’m discussing, success from a business standpoint is profitable. Apple is definitely making more in profit and revenue than Microsoft. As in, Apple had the more successful strategy.

There are plenty of people whose only computing device is a phone and others who are hardly ever use a computer for personal use. Even the iPhone can keep up performance wise with some low end PCs being sold.
It definitely existed earlier than that. I found an old project in my backups for a 3d space game that dates from 2003 and can see a CVS update history on the web archive that stretches back to 2002.
