the ultimate resource in all things history of crops and how people came about to cultivate rice (or stay clear of it) has to be James C. Scott[1][2] "The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia"

> For two thousand years, the disparate groups that now reside in Zomia (a mountainous region the size of Europe—2.5 million km2—that consists of portions of seven Asian countries) have fled the projects—slavery, conscription, taxes, corvée, epidemics, and warfare—of the nation state societies that surround them.

he has several chapters on crops and why they play a key role in survival among hill tribes throughout history. A brilliant book.

Celine Halioua is an incredibly talented founder. We share investors and have spent a good amount of time together at investor working sessions, and she's building something really cool. This set of resources is quite valuable and provides good insight on how tech and biotech are different.

Some of the reasons they're different are real:

In tech you're pretty sure you can build something, you're just not sure if anyone will buy it. In biotech you're pretty sure people will buy it, just not sure you can build it.

The challenges are far more complex (biology is a bitch) and require a LOT more domain specific knowledge to get traction.

It's necessarily highly regulated.

But things like people not giving younger founders a chance, and the lowballing on valuation don't need to be how things work. Hopefully people like Celine help turn that around.
This website used to contain all the information to generate a magnet URL for every torrent. With a simple combination of Google and a quick browser addon I've used this site as a nice way to find torrents for a while.

They've taken down the hashes now, which means the trick doesn't work anymore. Using other people's interests as recommendations was pretty useful though!
Do you have any link to back up the claim "ASPI is literally a US State Department-funded front group to publish anti-China propaganda"?

ASPI is an Australia think tank, founded by Australian government and partially funded by Australia's Department of Defense, according to their website [0]. Clearly they're biased but not necessarily anti-China. Australia was pretty cozy with China until very recently.

Two hour naps will likely put you into a deep slow-wave REM sleep cycle. Waking up mid sleep cycle often leads to grogginess. If you cut your naps to 25 minutes or slightly less, you avoid deep REM sleep and should wake up feeling refreshed.

"Why We Sleep" by Matthew Walker is a good summary on the science behind sleep. The book also recommends to not use the "snooze" function on your alarm clock. It allows you to slip back into a sleep cycle that gets disrupted multiple times everyday.
I'm not sure it's the case that Tesla has a massive monopoly on driver data, and even if it does it won't for long. Toyota for example has their TSS system which collects a ton of driver data. Tesla has produced around ~1 million vehicles in its lifetime. Toyota produced 10x that last year alone. If more data is the key to unlocking level 5 then Toyota or one of the other big players will get there long before Tesla does.
You lose the ability to remove unused code, but for people using this, it doesn't matter, because it is cached anyway.

The number of HTTP requests really does not matter much these days, because of HTTP2. And again for people who use this service and get a speedup from it, it doesn't matter because it is cached.
Servicemen or servicewomen does make me think of a service station more than martial forces.
Deforming the coil of fiber into a U-shape is exactly what happens inside a standard box of cat-5, if you've ever opened one up. It's basically a figure-8 coil, folded into a U-shape and stuffed into the box. It pays out from the middle, just like any other figure-8 wrap.
Yes, developers need to be able to run arbitrary code. But that's not inconsistent with macOS being locked down by default and requiring a developer certificate to run unapproved software.

Of course, moving to ARM is orthogonal to that; Apple could just as easily impose restrictions on x86 Macs. The only immediate downside to ARM is the loss of the ability to boot other OSes, which has apparently been getting more difficult anyway due to custom hardware like the T2 chip.
I treat HN as a link-discovery site first and foremost, and its extraordinary for that. There is no need to get worked up about what someone says on the Internet, life is too short for that. I just avoid some threads based on their titles.

I think there will be centralization on 2nd layers like the Lightning Network. Bitcoin's mainchain is slow. Running full node is expensive. Decentralization comes with tradeoffs.

Lightning tries to live up with Bitcoin's ethos. It's designed with decentralized nodes. We end up with 2 decentralized networks trying to talk to each other. The result is a very complicated 2nd layer. I think centralization can simplify a lot of things. As a user, I don't have a problem with it. Exchanges are already centralized. We just need more options to choose.

I'm excited about 2nd layers. I think they would enable Bitcoin to interact with other technologies. I created Bitflate based on Bitcoin. We can mix Bitflate and Bitcoin to create hybrid coins. Some level of centralization is fine. It's a tradeoff for lower cost and better UX.
Right. This is why you partner with someone like me - because we already have an audience, a process, and some capital+labor we can use to help produce & promote your book/course.
I see the opposite from you: Mac laptops, crunching under Linux, very rarely see windows in the wild. I know windows sales are still robust so this is what I see but am not sure how far it can be extrapolated.
As far as different mediums for building go, check out sirewall. Or insulated rammed earth wall. It is only 9 pct cement. And can make some pretty charming spaces.

Article links to sources. Interpret as you will.

Just a counter-'claim' against the GP that all we have to worry about is the fatality rate.

As hospitals fill up, even with a low mortality rate, it means all sorts of other procedures are delayed or cancelled.
Use your client to create a .torrent. Send the .torrent over. Other party adds your IP as a seed. No trackers or DHT required.
It depends a lot on where you live. It's not that bad where I live (EU, specifically Scandinavia), for example. Of course it goes without saying that we're generally quite privileged compared to a lot of the rest of the world.

Anyway, my point was really just that at least there is a choice of "the least bad" rather than no choice at all. I realize that that may not amount to much.

A new Finder window opens to the Documents folder by default, though this is configurable in preferences. You can set it to your home directory

If you right click the folder name in title bar you get a list of path segments. You can also turn on 'Show Path Bar' and get a breadcrumb-style control.

There's a shortcut, cmd-shift-G, listed on that menu item.

Haven't had a problem with it, though I usually use find and grep on the command line.

Tab support is seven years old.

It does. It doesn't have cut and paste though, but drag and drop works to move.

The idea is one day folks could publicly share their learnings, and that one could participate in 'follower' paradigm similar to that of Twitter
I've always heard these as good traits for a programmer, but I must have got a cursed version of them. As to laziness and impatience particularly: I'll sooner decide not to do a task at all rather than somehow automate it.
Does anyone know a workaround for having to switch microphone to Internal on MacBook Pro every time you connect AirPods Pro to avoid terrible sound quality?
Most people don't own any stock at all so it is not very surprising.
But the end does not justify the means, due to the fact that it is a violation of their 4th Amendment specifically the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects. Illegal searches are illegal no matter the sound basis after the fact. As an order of our society, historically police where not supposed to go looking for crime. They where commissioned to enforce the law. One cannot enforce the law by breaking the law and it has set a very bad precedence that the police now go looking for crime. Because if they "believe" you are a criminal there is a better than average chance they are going to find something no matter how petty or insignificant. The point being, it does not matter the end result, it never justifies the action in retrospect as the person is and should be assumed innocent until legal evidence of a crime is uncovered. If it was obtained illegally all evidence even parallel construction should be tossed out for the taint it bring with it.
From Illitch's Wikipedia entry:
"In his Medical Nemesis, first published in 1975, also known as Limits to Medicine, Illich subjected contemporary Western medicine to detailed attack. He argued that the medicalization in recent decades of so many of life's vicissitudes—birth and death, for example—frequently caused more harm than good and rendered many people in effect lifelong patients."
Open Source Ecology has open-source designs for a compressed earth block machine that can generate these things from the dirt on-site. These machines have been built and had been in use for some time now. They did require some knowledge that are not widely disseminated (use of water to motar them together, and other construction techniques you would not use with conventional bricks). With a CEB machine onsite, it makes construction of this type of material decentralized, without having to rely on a fragile, global supply chain.

It also means getting more CEBs to affect repairs can be sourced locally, and does not require a functioning global supply chain. (Assuming you can keep the CEB machine in good repair; but that is why it is open-sourced).

I think there are some heat retaining properties that CEB have that conventional bricks don't have. Combined with a hollow-core, or insulated core wall construction, the end results are housing that are more efficient with heating and cooling.

When combined with permaculture design, the excavation can be done to build swales for efficient rain water harvesting.

So yeah, if we only look at the cost from just the perspective of sourcing conventional bricks, maybe it won't compete. From the perspective of whole system design and resilient systems, I think CEB offers something better.

But "this will increase salaries by reducing supply" is the common narrative on HN that one cannot fight.

Reasoning bottoms-up, you are right. This will reduce Bay Area footprint, and will allow good talent to join at lower costs. Couple this with top Indian talent in US not being treated fairly (most Indian immigrants have to wait 4-5 decades before being eligible for a green card even at Google / FB / etc..). The future for the Bay Area may not be as bright as the last 15 years. I certainly hope this isn't the case since I have a vested interest in the Bay Area but I do think longer term this is going to be the outcome though.. :(

Reasoning ground-up is not the faint of hear though. Most people want to extrapolate the world from the recent past based on their personal self-serving biases.
Basically! You could think of it as just being the code-editing part of Visual Studio (but in a browser), an easier WordPress (but less robust, naturally), and a place to put html/css/js components to reuse them elsewhere.
I've been noticing this on one of mine lately. I didn't realize it was so widespread. Good to know I'm not the only one.

There was a study where they tried to reinfect monkeys with the virus after they had developed a prior immune response. Even in laboratory setting, they could not reinfect the monkeys.

https://www.livescience.com/monkeys-cannot-get-reinfected-wi...

That, plus every case of supposed reinfection that has occurred so far is either inconclusive or proven to be a case of false positives. The big one was in South Korea, where the KCDC later determined that their test was picking up dead virus fragments.

It gets hard to keep pretending people can get COVID-19 over and over again. Maybe if had been documented 1000 times out of 13 million cases, but we haven't even seen anything close to that.
The Wet Codebase
This assumes that the other manufacturers don't also gather data from actual cars, on actual roads, driven by actual humans. Which is not the case. Toyota for example has it's TSS system. Toyota also makes around 10 million cars a year. Tesla makes around 370k. Even if they had a head start it's not going to take long for them to get lapped.
This is no doubt due to the fact that I am both lazy and impatient, but I find it very hard to figure out who's saying what in this post.
You're right in theory - you can't write dozens of books about exactly the same topic, but I feel that scarcity mindset may miss the broader trend that programming isn't slowing down.

We're sort of the inverse of Web Development (programming) fatigue. We'll run out of products when developers stop creating new web frameworks (and programming languages and platforms and and)
Abolition (abolishing something) can be an improvement, except when it's not.

From one point of view, those reasonable anarchists and marxists are only seeking to "improve" the US. From the other point of view they are trying to abolish it. You're forced to pick a side. Jacobin calls for revolution demand binary outcomes. It's exactly analogous to Illych proposing that education can only be improved by abolishing educational institutions. There's no middle ground.

Apple will replace your AirPod Pros if you have this problem. You can submit the request online and they will just send you a new pair. Most likely you fall under the support warranty period, and it will be at no cost to yourself.
What are we weighting for? A mechanistic model for probability weighting
Jesus, do you not wonder if maybe he was framed? I guess it’s a bit of a roundabout way to frame someone, and unlikely to work on anyone who keeps an eye on their running processes... but damn.
I contacted apple support and got a new pair. Free (with credit card hold until I sent the defective pair back).
So far so good.
But if it happens again... yeah not sustainable.
I had my faulty Airpod replaced via mail after calling them. They ship you a working one with a return label and you have a few days to send your broken one back. They also put a hold on a card as a deposit.
that's a bluetooth limitation likely on the macbook side, so i think the answer is "buy a new macbook pro".
You are reacting to a symptom of a problem.

A bigger contributor to the problem is that the universe of investible assets is too small because the barrier to issue and list securities is too high, which corrals capital into a small corridor of things to buy.
If you really want your phone to stay on but be unable to transmit/receive, put it in the Faraday cage in your kitchen: the microwave.
Had this issue on AirPods Pro, first with the left ear approx. 2 months after purchase and then with the right ear approx. 6 months after purchase. In both cases Apple replaced at no cost.
Requires specialized equipment and training but definitely doable, even in the field: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xba2MThR9Ls
> Even if the institution contributes only a small part of the outcome's determinants. Even if by dismantling the institution, you wouldn't be sure whether the outcome would be different. But you want to try, right? Just to see if it does something? Without proof.

> I don't want you to have that nuclear option. I'm willing to work towards solutions to make things better, but I don't believe in the extent of systemwide conspiratorial reinforcement of class/racial boundaries that you believe causes these outcomes.

You don't need to give someone the nuclear option, but it's important to recognize that there are clear race/class biases (not conspiracies), in the educational system in order to, as you say, work toward solutions to make things better:

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2019/02/14/no-room-a...
I've gotten both my left and my right Airpod pro replaced on different occasions. My right one after 4 months and my left one 1 month later. So far, all of my friends/coworkers that own the pro's also got them replaced at some point within 6 months, or are dealing with the 'Rattlegate' issue.

I am blown away by the quality of the pro, both positive and negative. How is it that we are all paying $280 and still have to replace them every year.

One good point is, Apple is sending replacements out without any questions asked other than 'is it making that sound?'. The replacement flow is really smooth too:
Call or chat -> CreditCard got charged -> Left or right replacement is send via UPS -> You replace the specific side that isn't working correctly -> You pack the broken one in the bag that is included -> You return it for free at a UPS point. Obviously, this won't work anymore after a year of use because after that they are out of warranty. (At least in The Netherlands)
Tesla's driverless technology is years behind the current leaders.
I don't have experience of extortion, either, but I'm plenty qualified to object.

Your position seems to be that there are legitimate reasons it was introduced. I don't disagree with that. That doesn't mean that the process doesn't involve lying in court to deprive people of their rights.

You say "conceal a source" but that is precisely depriving the accused of their explicit constitutional right to be "confronted with the witnesses against them".

(I will note that I've definitely been speaking with a US focus - not all of my comments will generalize.)
Thank you, that's a very interesting comment.
If we're talking about pre-industrial systems, this seems to be the way to go:

Can anyone point me to some of the 'how to cash out' guides mentioned? Doing some research in this area and quite interested to learn about techniques used in practice and how they compare to those proposed in academic literature.
For me this issue persists even in all the other "modes". The support chat advised me to take off the rubber tips and try them without for testing and it didn't make any rattle noises then. I don't really understand how that can be the reason.

I maintain that there is no peer-reviewed research proving that an individual can become infected after recovering from COVID-19. There are only scattered media reports.

However, I am not claiming it is strictly impossible. That has not been proven either. But at this point, we could only assume it is extremely rare, at least within a 5-6 month window.
