Isn’t it unfair to compare the overzealous first-world parents who try to push education more at preschool level to those parents targeted by GP, providing a “decent lower school education” to the poor?

I think education is also high ROI, but just like anything else in economics, you can only push it to a certain level after which one gets diminishing returns. For the purpose of the discussion here, we should spent more on education of younger kids.
Oooo good eyes haha, thanks! Pushed an update.

It gets weird because there are many non-closed spaces which are very crowded. Imagine a concert, or the boardwalk.
Hi! I'm leading one of the working groups for the OpenSSF (Identifying Security Threats) and I understand your point here. I hope I speak for everyone, that we want the larger community to be directly involved, and not have this be an organization "run by corporations". (I'd go so far as to say that this initiative cannot be successful without strong community support.)

In many parts of the U.S., it's not actually illegal for women to be topless, they just don't. It is often a requirement for a liquor license, however. For example, where I live in Austin, Texas, state law does not prohibit a woman being topless, and Texas is not generally among the most liberal of states.
Half way down the page, at least someone on HN figure out the most important issues with Google and Pixel. Distribution.

Actually some of them are new on the launch list. Taiwan and Japan I believe did not get Pixel when it launch, it tends to come later. And even when it arrived, you cant really get it anyway.

Just to show how much Google care about its Pixel Phone.
> If you have that kind of imagination — like the Wachowskis with The Matrix

I'm hesitant to say "based on", but the movie Dark City from 1998 (a year before The Matrix) is remarkably similar to it.

I only saw it around 2005 and the plot points for the first half of the two movies fit so closely I went looking to see if it was acknowledged anywhere. Other than people noticing the same thing, I don't recall finding anything, though.

> I remember a very left forum in which someone bemoaned that one out of four homeless are women

That sounds like an extreme mischaracterization. The concern about homeless women is the extra suffering the endure at the hands (and other parts) of homeless (and other) men.

Much worse is the horrific (and never retracted) Washington Post article fretting that murder at work is a female epidemic because even though men are murdered
_more_ often than women at work, men die so much in other ways that murders of men aren't important*.

It was absolutely gobsmacking to read the utter disregard for men's lives.

"more men are murdered on the job than women. But that's because [450%] more men are killed on the job overall."

I love seeing this phenomenon appear in the wild:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkson%27s_paradox

In short: people can be correct when they notice an inverse correlation, because their world consists of people who got into the same university, or workplace, or club, as them. But the correlation is exactly the opposite in society as a whole.
You don’t need batteries in front of base generation (which there isn’t much left of as coal and nuclear phase out), and batteries allow renewables to generate more revenue per MWh as that power is now considered dispatchable (Callable on demand) by the grid operator.

Batteries are direct competitors against large amounts of legacy investments (coal, natural gas, and nuclear). They can charge from any (localish) grid power source when power is cheap, discharge when power is more expensive (arbitrage), and are stupid fast (hundreds of milliseconds) at providing frequency response services thermal generators have previously provided (single digit minutes, competitively, to get spinning metal up to a higher speed).

Peak shaving is definitely a use case (Tesla uses it to shave demand charges at some Superchargers for example), but that’s a consumer (not utility or investor owned generator) benefit.

TLDR Old grid->new grid is happening rapidly and incumbents are going to get left behind.

It was mostly a reply to:

> On a hardware-level, though, I agree, the A71 is a much better value.

Just because it has better hardware "specs" doesn't mean much. For example, there are phones nowadays with 112MP cameras that still take worse photos than Pixel's 12MP camera. Similarly, 12 or 16GB ram which a lot of phones flaunt makes absolutely no difference.

I'm not saying you're falling for that, but unfortunately a lot of people do direct spec sheet hardware comparisons without understanding what the numbers even mean.

> The DHS appears to define antifa broadly, to encompass various left-wing tendencies: “[A]ntifa is driven by a mixed range of far-left political ideologies, including anti-capitalism, communism, socialism, and anarchism.” In two cases, evidence of antifa affiliation was limited to photos taken in front of an antifa flag. As the intelligence report itself notes, “ANTIFA claims no official leadership,” raising questions about whether antifa even exists in any sort of operational capacity.
> Earlier Harris equip did that by forcing 2g mode but 2g is being turned off

Even if the carriers switch off all their 2G towers (which happened here in .au years back), I wonder how many handsets will still happily connect to a Stingray-type device that offers it a 2G connection?
I agree that it's annoying, but creating a image isn't very difficult and solves the problem nicely.

Maybe if those wasteful practices cost what they should less people would do them. Christmas cards are about as impersonal as facebook happy birthday wishes. Daily mail pickup is another thing that is a total waste. I've probably put outgoing mail in my mailbox 50 times in the 20 years I've lived in this house. 99% of what I receive would be better served electronically, but shockingly some companies still don't offer paperless bills.

This is so fucked up.
As an individual, it's not really possible to treat everyone equally.

Do you treat people unequally if you know they are smarter? What if someone else told you they were smart? If they have a high IQ, would that matter to you? Based on which college they graduated from? If they work 16 hours a week? What about 16 hours a day?

Attractiveness is an indicator just like any other [1]. It's just a reality.

Part of the issue is that it's much easier to ask somebody about their age, gender, race, sexual orientation, etc (at least in the context of a survey or something) than it is to ask them "Are you ugly? Y/N". It's not just a category, it's a value judgment. This also drastically reduces the number of ugly advocacy groups and advocates. It's hard to push for better treatment of a group in which almost nobody wants to claim membership.
If you spend every day meeting strangers in a certain context, then I imagine you can learn to notice things like that over time. I suspect an insider explaining these things to a relatively young entrant also happens.

In Europe, and I can only assume that it’s similar to the US, the energy market is actually running a surprisingly complicated auction system. For example, since power generation and consumption have to be balanced at all times, power generation capability that can ramp up and down quickly is more valuable than one with the same nominal power that can only be controlled slowly. As far as I understand, all of this is priced in, with separate auctions for different timescales.

What batteries allow you to do is to perform time arbitrage in this market. As with many other forms of arbitrage, this should lower average prices, though some specific current uses could suffer. For example, if this is deployed at scale, electricity might no longer be all that much cheaper at night.
Just guessing, but in some places there used to be automatic exemptions and substantially fewer people were eligible to be called so they had to serve more.

Reforms expanded the pool, for instance in NY.

From a 1996 NY Times article:

"As of Jan. 1, all 27 former exemptions and disqualifications for jury duty in New York State have been repealed"

"...as many as one-third of Long Island's residents have been exempt from jury duty because of their white-collar professions, particularly doctors, dentists and lawyers"

That's a closed source for pay gui built on html and css.

It probably would not be too difficult to hook into FLTK's label drawing, but this is a general comment about typical small to medium sized guis, originally as a reply to someone needing an internal tool built around an openGL window. Maybe it would be better to make a top level comment and mention that the game engine isn't accessible to blind users.
> I'm going to be a nonconformist myself and oppose the near-univeral approval of Sowell in this discussion.

I really did not know HN was this conservative. I am very surprised at all this unanimous approval of Sowell.
lol yes he started eating and exercising better... and taking supra-physiological amounts of testosterone. he had a second puberty in his 50s that was more androgenic than the one he had in his teens.
Nope. That was the thrust of their argument: we should care about the homeless because some of them were women. I've seen it elsewhere, there's even some handy samples on imgur if you search for them.
I think that one was debunked, cases weren't scheduled randomly.

>After a couple generations, rich & powerful families with status tend to have more attractive families.

IIRC this is a common misconception. The son of a traditionally handsome man isn't necessarily going to get all of the traditionally handsome male features from his dad; he might get some of his traditionally beautiful mother's traditionally beautiful female features. Genetics is a crapshoot like that.
You are right. Trump does not have the power to go into 100M phones, remove the apps, and disable the services that run them.

What Trump does have is the power of government, which will make it awfully easy for Apple and Google to do it for him.
Huawei produces civilization defining infrastructure. TikTok is a social app. The Chinese government's priorities are in the right order
At the risk of repeating myself:

High Tension power lines are not free. Some run at capacity, so batteries would help.

Battery power in front of base power means fewer peaking plants, which lowers the relative value of renewables to the entrenched (while only slightly improving emissions).

Many will be more comfortable with batteries than windmills. I'm not saying this because I think they should win, I'm trying to prepare you for the sort of pushback you should anticipate from policy makers.
I agree, but I'm still going to avoid flying for awhile! (And I was up to 21 flights by March.)

Interesting Article and also conversation here.

I think the future of interactive immersive VR work environments is looking very strong so using it for GUI apps seems like a good first step.

The author of this article said that he is not a web developer and he has a pro-application perspective. I think he misses the huge opportunity for web properties to also render into Virtual Reality.

Out of curiosity I looked at some of the examples in the Oculus Quest SDK. Basically Android+3D, effective but there is lots of room for improvement.

Well, if I know they have a high IQ I might infer that they have strong mental faculties, are able to cope well with complex problems, etc. If they graduated from a good University, I might infer that they are intelligent and have a reasonable work ethic. If they work a great many hours, I may infer that they are motivated, or perhaps passionate about their job. I do not think that I can fairly infer similar things from attractiveness even if a correlation exists. There exist beautiful idiots, but essentially no idiots graduate from Cambridge or score 140 on an IQ test.

There is nothing “democratic” about the US government. It was never designed that way.

The President is not elected by the people. He is elected by the electoral college giving people in less populous states more power than people in more populous states. We saw that in the last election.

The Senate does not represent the people. It represents the states. Every state has two Senators regardless of the population. Again meaning the flyover states have far more voting power than their population would warrant.

The judiciary is appointed by the President who isn’t elected by the people and decided by the Senate who doesn’t represent the people and have lifetime appointments.

The only part of the US government that is nominally “democratic” is the House and they are the least powerful part of the government and even they don’t represent the will of the people because of gerrymandering.

So put all of that together, the less power the government has the better.

Why not just nationalize both Apple and Google so the government can come up with “Five Year Plans” to design the perfect phone? The same government run by politicians who didn’t realize that Zuckerberg didn’t run Twitter last week.

We see with what’s happening with TikTok what happens when corrupt politicians who are more interested in their own agenda gets involved in the free market. This isn’t partisan. The entire political system is corrupt.

This is definitely better than the traditional rails/django approach to migrations, but the post seems to imply that generating changes against a live DB is a pointless annoyance - I disagree.

If you care about testability - the best way to test your migrations is by testing them directly against the schema they'll actually be applied to.

What if your tool is not the only party making schema changes to the database? What if there was a bug in a previous migration and the database is in a different state than you're assuming? The only way to check for problems like this is to check your actual production state.

ADT and other American security is broken. They are missing the hard part of an active security system: response.

In Japan there is a company called Secom. This company has a near monopoly on security systems. They have this monopoly because instead of just calling the cops they have staff on patrol who respond to alarms. You can imagine the install base moat required to have active personal patroling constantly.

The end result is alarms get checked. Every time we mis-unlocked our office a Secom person would stop by soon after to check. No idle phone calls from a phone center, the staff checked the premise themselves.

Of course similar services must exist in the states for businesses, but without the install base they cannot be priced reasonable for home use. Secom is used everywhere, from uppper class homes to museums.
