I remember feeling like I was living in the future every time I listed to music on my Sony MiniDisc player while friends where still using their portable CD players with easily scratched disks before mp3 players became affordable and ubiquitous in high school.

So did I. But I'm not going to let one drawback distract me from something otherwise very good, nothing is perfect after all.

I can even understand why they did it. To keep the doc format very simple.

I hope that more clients will add unique rendering features that will turn this drawback on it's head. It could be in-line rendering or a gallery-like feature.

"Martin worried that wearing masks might lead people to feel more safe than they actually were — and make choices that increased their risk of contracting or transmitting COVID-19." - I don't see people wearing masks jumping into my face. It's people who're feeling safe for other reasons, that do. People who don't see there's a pandemic. People who think it's all made up. People who feel invincible or who're thinking they can show-off as invincible to impress others. Those people don't wear masks and throw one Corona Party after another. I'd assume that most people wearing a mask care more deeply about others than those who don't. So, wearing a mask is also a statement. And it's got almost nothing to do with politics.
I should remind you that a lot of revolutions had a noble goal. Russian Revolution was made by people with an enormous noble goal of freeing the whole world from oppression (and Soviet state has never disavowed World Revolution, future Communism, people's dictatorship, etc.). How it was twisted from the very beginning — even long before revolution itself, see Dostoevsky's “Demons” — is a different story. I think that “we had a noble goal, and accidentally ended up with a dead body” is an explanation only suitable for children. It is better to pay attention to the process, not its stated goals (even more so for broad and lofty causes), and judge whether it is fishy.

In fact, nothing that happens in America today comes as a surprise to people familiar with Soviet society:

> I would like you to define what you're against in more detail here.

Among other things, I'm really irritated by the pattern of forcing the conversation partner to properly define his position (likely to be able to poke holes in it) while your original position is floating on air and walking on clouds. You original comment says absolutely nothing, to the point there's a long thread in the subsequent conversation on what you're actually advocating. This happens often enough to be a pattern, and one I keep associating with things I don't like.

(well, you asked).

For the record, I did take a quick peel in your comment history and I definitely, emphatically, don't dislike you as a person. Which I guess makes it easier to take swings at this ideology.

And to be a bit more ontopic, I'm against cancel culture, aka the idea that one of the first tools in our toolset to reach for is some form of silencing people (forcefully, by shaming, by deplatforming and so on). It can be a tool in the toolset and as it happens there was a use-case I agreed with this very winter - my local government closed down a few denialist websites early in the pandemic. But that's pretty much the level I see necessary to get as far as silencing or punishing speech - spreading wrong information in a national emergency situation, or falsely yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.

Anything less should be solved with other tools, even if it's much more difficult. To me, seeing cancel culture used to solve day to day problems shocks me just as much as seeing somebody use an angle grinder in the kitchen. They can keep telling me all day how much faster it is at cutting, it's still an idiotic idea, to the point I actually have to think for a minute before saying why. Except for the obvious "you're definitely going to cut something you don't want, sooner or later". Which applies to our conversation as well.
Yes but if you're doing it by driving people away you want to get rid of trolls not those engaging in good faith.

>>Gemini has no support for caching, compression, or resumption of interrupted downloads. As such, it's not very well suited to distributing large files, for values of "large" which depend upon the speed and reliability of your network connection.

Which honestly is pretty silly, as lots of caching is about reducing latency for small files not saving bandwidth for large files. Suppose it matters less if the documents are self contained.

> People taking such myths seriously

Well, atheists don't believe in anything before or after this life. It's usually such people who have no fear of committing crimes when they are confident they won't get caught.

> why should you not suffer in this current life?

they will suffer. But not because of you or me. But because of reactions to their actions long ago.

Does it mean you can ill-treat them without consequence ? No. If you do so, you will be born in that caste in a next-life and suffer the same oppression they're facing now.
You are speaking about an entirely different topic. I've never once stating whether I believe anything he has said, or even am interested. I'm saying that you can't go around calling people names and expecting that to be taken as evidence against them, especially when done anonymously. Your post is different - you point to an actual fact as to why Hancock is called a crank. The original post did nothing of the sort.
This is HN; you are supposed to point out (like some people have in this thread about the leading 000 count) the incorrect parts, providing some links or explanation why they are incorrect. Many people probably clicked here to learn something and so it's helpful to point out what they should be learning instead of this if it is 'incorrect'.
If that were the case it would be hilarious. Nello Musumeci, Sardinia's governor, just last month wanted Sardinia to be COVID-19 free and did not want anyone from any other Italian region without quarantining or constant surveillance.

In fact it seems that the diameter 3 balls are most efficient only for cubes of edge-length between 3 and 2+sqrt(2) = 3.414.... These are the sizes for which you can fit in 1 diameter 3 ball, but can't fit in 4 diameter 2 balls. Above that, diameter 2 balls are more efficient (except that a cube of edge-length 6 can fit in the same volume either way; 27 diameter 2 balls or 8 diameter 3 balls).

I love the engineering in this.

I don't think I would use it to read multiple books at the same time though. I've already got a simpler solution which I use regularly - lots of bookmarks and a sturdy table to hold the big pile of books.

However, with a bit of refinement, you could repurpose it to be a rotating bookcase with each shelf holding a row of books. A standard bookcase is obviously simpler but what a way to pick your next read.
People with high knowledge about math don't get into low-quality interactions about math, no matter the medium. They'll find a way to make it informative. If an interaction is not informative, it's always because one or both participants don't know their stuff.

Moderation is important, but it solves a different problem: letting people who don't know their stuff also participate and benefit without destroying everything.
I would advise to use processing.org in python mode. You can draw shapes like lines and rectangles on your own and use it to visualise the programming flow (e.g. draw many lines at different positions with a for loop, but change the color on every fifth to red).

Stuff like this is IMO the best way to learn programming for average people, because the first two blockers are usually:

* you don't understand what problem you are trying to solve

* it is all to abstract and you don't know what the thing you are doing actually is

Seeing what you do is a good way to deal with these points, because then programming can feel more like drawing a doodle instead of doing your taxes. Once they got the basics you could still dive into the rest.
Seconded

Trump did go all out with his Trump card, trade and tariff.

But he can do so much more without playing this card to this extent.

Fear is what motivates people, the ideal that China would subject to all around 25% tariffs would put Xi on the edge. But Trump actually just went and realized the consequences because he thought he could.

Now the fear factor is gone. Surprisingly little had accomplished. Decoupling is sealed. CCP headliners had proved their view of US is always right and controls the narrative.

And the means to further escalation on the table is war.

Pretty unwitty and wasteful if you ask me.
Assuming, as a starting point, that religious people believe what they say they believe is reasonable, and respectful.

The problem is that this forum, and social media in general, is viewed by a lot of people, certainly orders of more magnitude more people than actually comment. Comments such as yours misleadingly take advantage of human social traits, such as attributing more truth value to someone with authority, and avoiding people who have been negatively labeled because they must be outcasts. There are potentially thousands of people who's respect of Graham Hancock has been decreased to varying degree due to your statement. Using appeal to authority and ad hominem name calling are the most basic of logical fallacies and should be completely discarded.

This is completely unrelated to whether Graham Hancock is actually a fraud or not. The problem is with your comment, no matter who you are talking about. Anonymous authority on the internet is worthless, as is name calling. As a supposed academic, you should be providing sources and examples, the absence of which makes your statement about being an authority on the matter suspect.

I take issue with this because this sort of mechanism is currently used on social media to wreck great havoc on society, especially in the US where people's lives are destroyed and horrible politicians get into office due to supposed authorities calling people names on the internet. It's a far worse issue than you are acknowledging. The whole point of social media is to spread ideas. You are not an island.

I think Tacitus' most useful lesson for american politics right now would be the importance of political compromise.
When political polarization reach the kind of levels it's at in the US right now, politicians tend to sacrifice the well-being of the country to hurt their political opponents - which is bad for everyone.
PostgreSQL and Oracle were always a good starting point for a queueing system since they support MVCC, a necessity for the hot rows at the head of the queue. DB2, Sybase, and Microsoft started with hierarchical locking, but all three have added optional MVCC in the form of Snapshot or Cursor Stability isolation levels. I’m not sure what functionality is missing that requires a new storage engine.

No technical limitation is suitable. The appropriate number or size of images depends on the accompanying text. Setting it high enough to allow all legitimate uses makes it weak enough that you might as well have no limit. And even a low limit does nothing to prevent annoying use up to that limit.

The best possible limit is "must convince the reader to click it".

Your article is dated June 9th, it's irrelevant since the comments I linked to were made on May 20, 3 weeks earlier. Yes, the drug has been politicized. That still doesn't mean it doesn't or cannot work, and this Ford study states that it does in fact show promise in reducing death rates.

All I'm saying is that the media planted its flag well before any conclusions could be made. Some politicians did as well (Trump, mostly), sure, but they never claim to be "objective."
(author here) I'd love to know the inaccuracies so I can address it. Generally I tried to simplify things to make it easy to follow in code. Anything worth noting can be added and I've done this with some things brought up in this thread. I'd love to do the same with your suggestions.

Hello potential employer. I'm a generalist software engineer looking to join a startup where the people are open and genuinely excited to be there. I'd like to join an early stage startup where small programs still have the potential to make a huge impact but there is enough flexibility to put my own spin on things.

I like working with networks, embedded systems, servers, decentralized systems, blockchain protocols, and regular application software. I can do full stack engineering too, but my front-end knowledge is now very out of date. I can pickup and learn most programming languages and related tools fast (so there being technologies I don't yet know at a workplace isn't an issue for me), and I'm comfortable 'wearing multiple hats' other than engineering.

I've designed and developed many large-scale systems, mostly crypto-finance-related. Some of my work is on my Github already. I released the following C++ library recently: https://github.com/robertsdotpm/h.h Thanks for reading.

AMP is the main reason I switched to DuckDuckGo from Google. Webpage rendering often used to break on iOS, in particular scrolling where the page would just go blank.
Said fear is also a problem in my personal life too. Guess these demons have an analogue in business too.

Thanks for the spiritual boost!
I have written here before of an alarm clock I bought that is surely the ideal alarm clock. I bought it at a store which mainly sells things that have been discontinued. It has a battery to power its alarm function, and if necessary, sound off with a piezo transducer powered by the battery. That means loss of power will not cause the clock to stop, and it will wake you at the scheduled time whether it lost power during the night or not. It has a slide switch to change from standard time to summer time. But in normal operation it uses mains power as normal alarm clock radios do. It has a very normal/cliche design. I never saw this clock in a catalog, online or otherwise, and when it dies I will have to settle for a lesser alarm clock. Or use my phone I guess.
I don’t understand the surprise or confusion here. Yes, light can’t escape black holes. But black holes are systems And they typically would have accretion disks. Those very much could emit light (and no doubt a ton of X-rays and/or gamma rays) when the black holes “collide” (as violent and energetic as these events are, I think “merge” is still probably more accurate).

The magnitude of these events is simply mind-boggling. I think the first such LIGO detection has an estimated 3-5 Solar masses converted to energy.
Couldn't it be bias in that those groups that are accepting are more successful and also happens to be more diverse because of it? Which would mean an accepting monoculture that is not diverse would _also_ have a high probability of being successful?

Just spitballing here.
The current implementation of the AMP cache servers obviously doesn't help the decentralization.

I think what Spivak is saying though is right. If we could move from location addressing (dns+ip) to content-addressing , but not via the AMP cache servers, in general, anyone could serve any content on the web. Add in signing of the content addressing, and now you can also verify that content is coming from NYTimes for example.

Also, I'd say that the internet (transports, piping, glue) is decentralized. The web is not. Nothing seems to work with each other and most web properties are fighting against each other, not together. Not at all like the internet is built. The web is basically ~10 big silos right now, that would probably kill their API endpoints if they could.
Very true. Those who leave early were very unlikely to buy any paid offerings that may one day appear.
Why would someone trust the proposed site? I search for "Filing Drawers" and it makes a recommendation ... why would I trust those recommendations rather than Amazon or eBay?

Trust is a difficult problem to solve ... any one can put up a website with search results and claim that they are trustworthy.
Disk writes aren't atomic but you know if they failed or not (unless your OS is lying to you but that is a problem with the OS, not your code).
Is it? I'm not a physicist but it seems like another natural infinitesimal, sort of like how a black hole's singularity is a point of infinite density whose infinity isn't a factor in calculating the total mass-energy of the black hole.
I've read that at the past but this article has an issue:

It never brings up how can there be a crash in the first place (also the entire article is too filesystem specific).

Internet forums are typically for conversation not formal arguments constrained by some catechism of 'fallacies'. Domain expertise, consensus among domain experts, etc are perfectly sensible heuristics one can apply to claims.
There is some repetition but it's pretty interesting how most of the maxims have a timelessness to them (probably all that don't involve religion).

It seems pretty indicative of how little we've changed in fundamental levels in thousands of years.
Very pithy and memorable. You have a great economy with words.
Well, then where is the scientific evidence that simple masks reduce chance of spread by an order of magnitude, as described?

There is none, because the science hasn't been done. There's a viral JPEG on the internet that claims this, it's just that.

If we don't have that evidence, the we don't really know, plain and simple.

That's not to say people should stop wearing masks. It's plausible that they help. It's just that we don't know the extent to which they help.
No problem, thank you for it.
