LOL. And don't forget it took tens to hundreds of thousands of years after the discovery of fire to adopt the internal combustion engine.

A decade is an eternity in the tech world. If bitcoin had a use case, we'd all be using it by now.

Personally I think they should pull out nevertheless and make an example out of NJ. That should give enough signals for other lawmakers not to come between consenting parties.
Just goes to show that how you sell stuff dominates _what_ you sell. 1Password is a relatively primitive CRUD app with multiple $0 competitors (I moved off it to Bitwarden, which is ugly, but works fine). And yet they have (judging by the amount raised) at least tens of millions of paying customers, if not hundreds of millions.

Show HN: Community Project in Progress – Vibez
The upward migration is imminent for ALL CONNECTED applications and not just Python 2 to 3. An issue I've seen with PIP (that must be relevant to other platforms as well) is that version-locked packages are for software that can no longer communicate with the actual SaaS/API because THAT layer has changed. It's really THIS that is forcing conversion of Python 2.7 to 3 because API vendors will stop supporting old software while they continue breaking their own interfaces. The alternative is the end user or FOSS picking up the slack but that's only going to happen for SOME of the API's. In the end it will be cheaper (albeit still painful) for companies to upgrade their code to Python 3.

I have a lot of Python 2.7 code that I wrote years ago which has been running smoothly and my team is generally going to rewrite rather than "convert" because I really don't trust conversions. I'd rather see all bugs upfront rather than hidden in the fog.
This project of mine is a work in progress. I got a lot of the basic features down, and soon plan on integrating music genres for people to follow and get posts that way (right now it's just see whatever sample data I have on the DB).

I think your missing an important detail here. She didn't say she wanted to go to San Francisco.

"she was told that she couldn't remain where she was and was asked where she would go if she could go anywhere other than Menlo Park. She said she recalled that at Ocean Beach there was someplace to wash her hair, so she said she'd go there."

Turning that into "She wanted to go to San Francisco" is disingenuous.

One advantage of paper maps, for me, is that they're much better at installing a 'model' for a city in your head.

With digital maps, I can navigate from place to place to place pretty easily. But then I retain virtually no information. I end up with no 'nose' for how to find my own way home.

But if I study a map on paper, laboriously plan my route in advance, and then follow it IRL — it's like magic. That route is installed there forever.

Do that enough times, and navigating even really crazy big cities starts to become instinctual. No GPS required.

Yes, as a heavy user of Amazon and (I think) a pretty savvy consumer of their site, commingling of different seller's offerings under one ASIN number causes big issues for me.

Almost as bad is Amazon allowing resellers to combine "similar" products into the same listing. While this makes sense for functionally equivalent products such as color differences, it's now used all the time for products that are substantially different. For example, mixing the ratings of a Micro-USB wall charger with a USB-C Power Delivery-capable wall charger is not only useless but misleading. They look different, work differently and use completely different parts internally.

I really wish Amazon would stop this.
Ask HN: What's the best remote desktop client that can handle 3D applications?
I have a 2018 MacBook Pro that I prefer as my workstation. I like working with macOS, and the mobility is a plus so I can work at different spots around my home. That said, I'm building a 3950X/RTX2080TI rendering/gaming Windows PC for my living room TV that is a powerhouse compared to my MacBook Pro. Instead of using Blender and Unity on my MacBook Pro, I want to stream those applications from my Windows rig to my MacBook Pro to work with them there.

I'm looking for a remote desktop client that can stream the full Windows desktop or individual applications at the highest fidelity and lowest latency possible over LAN. It must support 3D applications at 60 FPS minimum and text clarity needs to be very good. Streaming over the Internet is a plus but I'm more concerned about the highest bit-rate over LAN as that's where I'm mostly working from.

From researching on Reddit I have found these are the top candidates:

1. Moonlight (Open Source, Nvidia GameStream)

2. Steam Remote Play

3. Parsec

I'm interested what others have found. If you've tried the above solutions in a work situation like mine, how did it go?

I wrote and deleted a long response. The short version is that they can be broken into two groups:

1. Distributors are paying well over wholesale and their margins are much closer to referral fees that really don't support the full retail effort.

2. Distributors are paying closer to wholesale but are buying junk that nobody actually wants. This is more like a ponzi scheme with items that theoretically hold value.
Then it should not come as a surprise that Venezuela sits atop the largest oil reserves in the world.

I'm sure that's just a coincidence as well...

Just like Iraq, Libya, Syria, Russia, and Iran are/were all somehow involved in either directly selling oil/gas for currencies other than the petrodollar, or were indirectly enabling oil trade in currencies other than the petrodollar (and gold).

Fusion in a magnetically-shielded-grid inertial electrostatic confinement device
I remember a decade or so ago, the only way for me to figure out certain material values (this was material science / electrical engineering / chemistry) was to open up MSPaint and manually draw lines on chart data to find intercepts. Has the field gotten better about releasing raw data for papers?

Granted, this was sometimes because the only team that had measured a particular substance did it back in the 70s.

You're missing the point that if someone chooses to die but uses a less lethal method then there's a good chance they do not die and are saved by medical attention.

You're making the mistake of thinking that someone makes a choice to die and is then determined to carry out that choice and will use rational thinking to chose the most lethal method. It's often not a choice they make; they're often not determined to die and people usually do not make efforts to avoid being found; choice of method is complex but tends to focus on what's easily available and quickly fatal.

Have a read of The International Handbook of Suicide Prevention, edited by Rory C. O'Connor, Jane Pirkis, because it covers all this in detail. Or you can read the NCISH research. Or you can read Professor Nav Kapur's book Suicide Prevention.

Abstract:

> Theory for a gridded inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) fusion system is presented that shows a net energy gain is possible if the grid is magnetically shielded from ion impact. A simplified grid geometry is studied, consisting of two negatively-biased coaxial current-carrying rings, oriented such that their opposing magnetic fields produce a spindle cusp. Our analysis indicates that better than break-even performance is possible even in a deuterium-deuterium system at bench-top scales. The proposed device has the unusual property that it can avoid both the cusp losses of traditional magnetic fusion systems and the grid losses of traditional IEC configurations.

I've been really enjoying Picturing Quantum Processes by Coecke and Kissinger. It approaches QM by exploring Quantum Processes in terms of a sort of formalized flow diagram. Notions like entanglement and teleportation are pretty simple in these terms and occur in the first couple chapters.

They're natural consequences of the formalization being described and are explained as physical or visual consequences of moving different elements of the diagram around. This is pretty fascinating because the analysis feels informal given how fluent and visual it is, but it can be completely formalized through a logic of graph transformations which let you translate these graphs into algebraic equations.

I haven't finished the book yet, but building from this formalism they begin to demonstrate how this formalism appropriately describes Hilbert spaces (it's an abstract theory to the more concrete model of Hilbert spaces) which then get us very close to standard Quantum formalisms. You can already begin discussing qubits, various standard quantum bases, and basic computational reasoning based on these systems.

It's a really excellent!

I wonder why MLM's are so rampant in the mountain west. I know "mormons" and "sales experience from missionary work" but the analysis can go deeper. From personal, anecdotal experience, a lot of these MLM people I've seen are moms. Could it be that that area is so sales heavy that stay-at-home moms want to run their own thing so they get into MLM on the side?
If the goal is to avoid having to remember strong passwords, then a strong password generator + a paper journal is resistant to more threat models and should be preferred.

When I worked retail sales in the 90s there was an Amway cult meeting nearby. Every few weeks, they would drop in after a pep-rally type thing and try to waste your time looking at the most expensive thing and talk about their amazing business. Then they'd drop the pitch (at the time it was about their e-commerce business).

Once you ran into them, you could spot them. It was a mix of desperate mid-life crisis guys looking for cash, clean-cut naive younger people, and diligent moms starting a business. Really sad.

No, they're a "reputable business", i.e. large enough and well-enough established that they can't be bullied into submission.
Rather than trying to poke holes in my response you could look at all cause mortality tables for birds. You can compare wind turbines with the many other sources - heavy metal poising, car and plane collisions, habitat loss - and you can compare it to estimated turbine collisions. Cornell Ornithology Lab is a great resource.

This isn't an ideal situation, but you can't talk about this sensibly without the background that we are in a planetary climate emergency and this is one route to try to fix a bigger problem. All current life on Earth is headed somewhere bad unless human beings can alter the course of atmospheric CO2. That would be a worse outcome for large birds than more wind farms.

If someone wants to concurrently pursue nuclear or solar, by all means they should do so. Shellenberger is a controversial figure, and there is a reason for it.

I don't know the specifics, but there are subsidies in place through the EEG[0] to prevent such losses.

In general energy also seems to be a low-risk business, where if the energy companies would ever loose money, they are either already covered by the government or can sue the government for losses due to changed regulations with a good chance of winning.

And is that single NN better at any of these tasks when compared to specialized approaches? Don't get me wrong, I agree that AGI is the end goal, I am just not convinced that trying to solve the general problem (before simpler problems are solved) is the most productive way forward.

To go back to my analogy, physicists don't have a unified theory yet, but have a good understanding of, say, quantum mechanics or planet motion. Solving these sub-problems got them closer to the end-goal, however, and brough a lot of value on the way. Why should we tackle AGI any differently?

I work for a company in a similar position, which recently did a funding round like this for the sole purpose of letting some existing employees get some cash for their equity, since an IPO is a big question mark.

A Year of Helping Customers Build Production-Ready Kubernetes Infrastructure
I have just read through 3 out of 4 links you posted, and I cannot find anything that disproves my earlier point. Can you cite a specific part that you feel supports your point?

The closest I could think of was from LegalZoom (3rd link), and it says:

"In equitable distribution states, property acquired during the marriage belongs to the spouse who earned it. In a divorce, the property will be divided between the spouses in a fair and equitable manner. There is no set rule for determining who receives what or how much, but a variety of factors are considered. For example, the court may look to the relative earnings contribution of the spouses, the value of one spouse staying at home or raising the children, and the earning potential of each. Often, each spouse will receive one-third to two-thirds of the marital property."

But that doesn't seem to disprove my point, because it still has the "In a divorce, the property will be divided between the spouses in a fair and equitable manner". So even if technically yes, the property you individually acquired during the course of marriage is considered yours, it will still be divided between both spouses in a "fair and equitable manner".

Their mission statement is investing in industries "facing funding and/or regulatory challenges because of social disapproval", but the unstated (or perhaps implied) political angle is they are focusing on industries that society doesn't approve of, but they do. Otherwise weapons, fossil fuels and surveillance tech would be on their list too. The obvious response to that is that those industries face disapproval because of a perceived harm to society, but all of the industries they list face disapproval for the exact same reason.
What's the percentage of porn-related shadiness is because our society and business culture forces that?
