Links don't imply that something shouldn't have been posted! They are just for curious readers to explore further. It's a way of sharing the riches of HN's archives.

Sometimes I spell this out explicitly: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que.... But it gets tedious to keep repeating. I'm still looking for a brief, unambiguous wording that doesn't lead to misunderstanding.

(Separately, it's true that HN normally shouldn't have a new front page thread for each incremental release of a project, because there are many more of those than there are slots on the front page. Users tend to upvote them reflexively as a sort of referendum on projects they like, and the threads is almost always a discussion of the project in general rather than of the specifics of a release. Those do get repetitive. But I wasn't implying anything about that with links.)
They don't ask for ID or proof of any kind.

Hi To ALL

Yes.

As someone who at one time spoke fluent Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, I can confirm that "spomenik" can be (and sometimes is!) translated as "memorial". Indeed, the root of the word is a verb that in its archaic sense can mean "to remember", as does the verbal root of "memorial". Furthermore, "spomenik" can also be translated as "monument".

So while the word often is used in the context of the WWII socialist memorials, the word in fact just means "monument" or "memorial". For example, here's an article using the term for a memorial to veterans ("defenders"), specifically those who died, from the 1991-1995 Croatian War for Independence: https://pakrackilist.hr/spomenik-hrvatskim-braniteljima-dovr...

I don't completely disagree with the author's idea to use the original term to add some local color, but it's not a special term, just one of the general terms used for memorials and monuments. A related term, "spomenica", is also frequently used, but I'm not sure about the nuances between these two terms.

I'm sure a native speaker could fill us in.
Essentially mouse aiming (meaning just rotating left-right in Doom) coupled with strafing breaks Doom 1 and 2. The enemies simply aren't designed to deal with a player that can seamlessly sidestep and precisely aim at the same time. If you were to play with keyboard only you might find the OG Doom quite a bit more challenging.
But ATT was broken up almost 40 years ago!
Bosnian here. I would never call spomeniks spomeniks in English. I would call them monuments and spomenik in Bosnian. Besides nostalgia that they cause in yugo nostalgic people - I don't see how they are special in any way

Also worth remembering, even if they find another business to move in, it will typically include a few months rent-free as well as modification of the space. Not only will that get delayed, any modifications will require contractors with months of queued up work.
Can you guarantee that the whole madness will be over in a quarter?

While I agree that a sanely run business should have a nice chunk of liquidity on hand, what happens if analysts expect 6 months of shutdown and 12 months of recovery?
Cool to see you guys here - as a UW undergrad I visited the lab once and was amazed by all of the effects you had to take into account to reduce error. Wasn't it something like the experiment can pick up the sun shining on the bricks of the building and shifting it, and the changes in the level of groundwater after it rains? I never understood why you didn't have the apparatus in the middle of the desert.

What sort of error reductions and changes allowed the new distance measurements?

Please don't take HN threads on generic ideological tangents. They lead to the same few predictable themes, repeated over and over, usually nastily. They're a sort of recitation, which is the opposite of the curious discussion this site is for. One is about repeating things, the other is about saying new things.

This should be obvious to you now, but all Home Depots are out of chest freezers. Same with masks and many gloves.

For the issues with ordering, Home Depot ordering systems are truly a mess. There is very little automation after your order is sent to the store. The order system (ESVS) is also just a UX nightmare, making it difficult to do anything beyond a very specific workflow.

My personal favorite bit of insanity is we list certain prices online that aren't available in store. If you go to check out and want that price in store you have to order it online and wait for it to show up in our system. Then you can pick it up at the service desk. Even if it's in your hand.
For a lot of countries it’s either emit pollution and feed people or don’t and let lots of people starve. Do you think your privileged life worth more than someone from third world who can barely afford to eat?
Tried placing an order online Saturday afternoon, only to be informed that the website was not taking orders due to Shabbos.

It's worth keeping in perspective. ~99% of his platform has been about other things.

Also, in the referenced video he says he wants to work on further developing the theory now. It's not complete and doesn't claim that it'll work. He says repeatedly that it may be wrong, even pointing out it could be fools gold. He also notes he's not a physicist and doesn't have all the necessary skills.

He's openly questioning, starting to present an idea and working on it.

At this point it doesn't strike me charlatan-like and I don't see how it's dangerous given all of his disclaimers... just seems like an outsider taking an unorthodox approach.
Of course, but it's a cool word and it's being used in this context to indicate a specific kind of a memorial from a specific part of the world, which is what makes this post interesting. "Memorials" generically wouldn't make as interesting a topic.

Generic words are often adopted into other languages to carry a more specific meaning, though damned if I can think of an example right now.

I'm sure the title "What Are Spomeniks?" doesn't help because it's basically trolling everyone who speaks a Slavic language, but it's also kind of a cool-looking title and I'd be sad to change it. (How about this? Think of it as ostranenie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamiliarization)

current round becomes last round b/c unlikeliness of hitting growth numbers. customers won't pay $0.80 for $1.0 when they have no job or their budget is frozen, and investors can't invest high multiples on growth when it isn't there. ("business is sound; we can switch to profitability whenever we want, we just prefer growth now" shown false, and investors don't want to look dumb when there are other fish in the sea or they can just wait).

ironically, for startups with discipline or strong fundamentals, this is bargain season for them + stronger investors. but most VC's are slowing dealflow b/c they're used to in-person and (it sounds like) are weak around their LPs or think like those in the first group, so not taking advantage of it.

You're correct. A flip-flop responds to an edge, a latch responds to a level.

However, let's go back more than 35+ years, to a simpler time. To the 1960s. To the dawn of the TTL era. Texas Instruments made a device called the 7473. It was a J-K Flip Flop. But it responded to a pulse, not an edge. Look at the function table in the datasheet: https://www.ti.com/lit/gpn/sn54ls73a

As a kid trying to teach myself TTL I never did understand WTF was going on. And this screwy behavior got fixed when TI did the 74LS73.

The data sheet makes clear the limitation, but either that text didn't exist back then, or I just didn't grok the significance of it. To wit: For these devices the J and K inputs must be stable while the clock is high.

So you're correct for at least the 35+ most recent years. :)

But there couldn't be rules without exceptions. :)

This seems like the key result:

> We find that any gravitational-strength Yukawa interaction must have λ < 38.6 μm. This implies that the dilaton or heavy graviton mass and the radion unification mass must be greater than 5.1 meV and 7.1 TeV, respectively, and that the largest extra dimension must have a toroidal radius less than 30 μm. These are the tightest existing lab constraints on “string inspired” new gravitational phenomena.

But the key words in it mean ~nothing to me :(

So do they do anything more than constrain parameters?

Also, don't understand why they are charging based on services? From that perspective, costing based on number of spans seems more transparent

Well, I suppose it was a bit of hyperbole on my part, but the thought of someone saying "I know Java" made me think of something like that "I know Kung Fu" moment from The Matrix, as if there's some amount of knowledge after which you just have the skill. I consider Java to be one of these things like Kung Fu, or Chess, or photography, where thinking that you now know it just means that you're so early in your learning process that you can't see the full lay of the land yet.
The other states have caps on a whole range of insurance. There's also some states that have cap on insurance premiums that is only effective in case of collapse, a "loss," or a "cost," because they're insurance companies who cannot keep things in place that can be taken care of. That's also a good policy way for some people to buy insurance in the individual market, but that can still be expensive.

The idea that you can keep things in place to save money, or in this case an extended-run plan as well, is a lie. It's not.

I would say that what we would do would fall on the taxpayers side by the way — not even if they had the flexibility to keep things in place but to continue servicing the insurance, keeping insurance in place until the company would be bankrupt in the event of a collapse.

That's a great example you've used here, because number one lesson of winning a knife fight is, run. The best alternative to running away or otherwise avoiding that fight would be indeed to shoot your way out of it.

WRT GP's comment, what they described is communication. It's precise communication. Saying exactly what you mean and nothing more. Not falling to some kind of instinctive save-face pressure and inventing a bullshit reason, that only leaves you worse off (you now either have to defend from your interlocutor's attempts at helping you, or admit that you've lied).

(To use a knife-fighting analogy, it's like learning to thrust without making it easy for your opponent to dodge your attack and cut you up.)
Not on a global scale but on a national it's very obvious.

They are looking at those proteins in the nucleus of the lens of the eye for a reason. Didn’t you wonder why?

“In vertebrates, the eye lens nucleus is composed of metabolically inert crystalline proteins, which in the center (i.e., the embryonic nucleus) is formed during prenatal development (6, 7). This tissue retains proteins synthetized approximately at age 0 – a unique feature of the eye lens that has been exploited for other difficult-to-age vertebrates (6, 8, 9).”

https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:6c040460-9519-4720-9669-99...

“Because the epithelial basement membrane (lens capsule) completely encloses the lens, desquamation of aging cells is impossible, and due to the complete absence of blood vessels or transport of metabolites in this area, there is no subsequent remodelling of these fibers, nor removal of degraded lens fibers. [...] The lens fibre cells in the nucleus of an adult lens are thought to be produced during early embryonic life [2]. The lens plate is formed in the 4 mm embryonal stage. The lens fibre cells degrade all membrane-bound organelles and the older lens cells become compressed into the nucleus of the lens by the continuous formation of new fibres at the surface.”

The only reason I see for junk content is lack of imagination.
