So, you're an example of the worst of both worlds.

Regardless of whatever small accommodations you may make, you apparently consume at a first-world level, because "all doing our part" seems to indicate that you're not doing a lot more than those around you, and for the most part we're not doing much. Presumably you want your kids to be able to do the same. You definitely don't sound like you're talking about slashing your or their consumption by say a factor of 5 or 10.

But you also want to have "a few" kids, which usually means 3 or more, which means above replacement level.

You're not just increasing the number of people; you're increasing specifically the number of high consumers.

You can't have both increasing population and increasing per-capita consumption. In fact, you can't get away with increasing either one for the long term without at least reducing the other. And in the still-longer-but-not-that-long term, there's a floor on how far you can reduce consumption and still stay alive.

So at some point you HAVE to stop increasing the population. Or not only does the surrounding world suck, but people simply start starving.

... and people who think the "demographic transition" is going to ride in and save the day are thinking pretty wishfully. It may cause a bobble. It might even get the world 100 years. But in the end, evolution keeps running. There's going to be a heritable tendency to overcome the "demographic transition" factors and reproduce anyway. If that's not artificially stopped, there's going to be a problem.

Space travel is not going to fix this either.

I'm sorry that reality seems anti-human to you, but then the universe has never been obligated to care about humans.
No doubt. It is shame we are all forced to create own DSL (e.g. GET /genre/12345) that dispatches to the above though. I really had hopes for the OData specification, but it hasn't seemed to get much traction.

It is worth noting, though, that many RDBMS allow for "read only" permission groups, so the risk of malicious DELETES/UPDATES isn't a huge problem in practice. Rather, it's the unbounded queries that could make your severs spin forever that truly represent the problem domain.
I looked at it thru webflow designer, I was like, you're amazing!! I can't count the hours it took for you to get this.
if you're required to engage in legal speak in normal workplace conversations what's the difference exactly. The only other place I know of where you need to talk in code between two coworkers to not draw the attention of authorities is the mafia
And that's the problem. Experian has insufficient incentive to keep this data safely stored away. Experian acts as if the data belongs to Experian, allowing them to sell it under a TOS, but when criminals get a hold of it, no harm comes to Experian — it's not a physical asset they can lose ownership of entirely. Instead, all the harm crashes down on the individuals whose identities are swimming in that data.

What do you mean? It has a section on it:

Yes - I often wished that someone wrote and maintained an article listing all the extensions that one likely will want to use.[1] One you may want to look into is evolve.

[1] Maybe someone has written this - I haven't checked in the last few years.
What reasons dominated?
It's a blur operation. Blurs are often defined as transforming input function by convolving it with some kernel function (often a Gaussian, see the Wikipedia page on Gaussian blur, similar idea holds for blurring 1d, 2d, 3d, nd signals). Convolution is an operation to combine two functions by integrating then together in a particular way. This defines output at each location that's a weighted average of what values the input function took at neighbouring points to each given location. Integration provides a way of computing averages. The weights used in weighted average are defined by the choice of kernel function. In this case the kernel function is an indicator function that is 1 in some window and 0 everywhere else, instead of a Gaussian function that'd be used for a Gaussian blur.

Since the input image is defined as a continuous function that maps a coordinate to a colour (it isn't discretised into pixels) we can apply the blur operation to the input image function and figure out analytically for a new image function that directly evaluates the output smoothed colour value for any coordinate. Then we can just sample that function at each pixel.

Blurring removes or damps high frequency components of input leaving lower frequency components, so it can be used to remove or reduce high frequency "noise".

Thanks for mentioning Locke's substances. It sounds like quite an intriguing idea. I have not read nearly as much philosophy as I would like, and that gives me a great indication of where to look when I pursue reading more of it.
The problem with webrings was if they got too big, IIRC? Well, and if the chain was broken.

It would be nice to have branching webrings, so that a site in one webring that also "bridged" to a different ring, or a more specific topic (or less) could also link there.

As always there is the problem of curation.
I would argue that reset style sheets or normalizers should be part of your "minimal web dev" process, even if you roll your own version. There are so many browser nuances that these things fix so that you don't have to hack it later down the line.

Modern art is far more than abstract though. A lot is figurative in various forms, from Picasso to Lucien Freud, and genres like photorealism and hyperrealism. Unless you have been to a museum specifically dedicated to abstract art.
Yeah, I know reality challenges your whole "MAGA" narrative, but the reality is the economy is a disaster.

Keep lying to yourself by questioning the experts though, just like with climate change and all the other "MAGA" inconveniences. I'm sure you know better.

ROFL.

Hey, author of suomi.dev here.

First of all, thanks for taking interest in the project. I wasn't quite expecting someone posting it to HN. suomi.dev is a two week project into learning Elixir language, and as such, I wouldn't recommend using it as-is without auditing the source code first. Unfortunately the locale is hard-coded into the application layer itself, so skimming through the controllers or html templates for example could be a bit difficult for someone who doesn't understand Finnish.

You're not the only person to raise interest for a drop-in "HN-like" platform for their specific purpose though, so I'm considering turning the project to be more adaptable.

If you're not planning to use the current version of the project for anything _too_ serious, I could possibly work on a separate branch where I'll translate it to English. How's that sound?
@retrohax Just wanted to say thanks for the blog, it's an entertaining and informative read! Man, that A1200 was in a state...
- What is the latest word (as of 2020) on reading Kindle books on the ReMarkable? Is there a tool that makes it easy to buy Kindle books and strip them of their DRM?

- Is the ReMarkable capable of running an open source OS behind the hood? Is it a hacker-friendly piece of hardware in case ReMarkable runs out of business in the future?

I was thinking about getting the ReMarkable 2 if only because my Kindle's display is too small. For ebooks it's okay but I do would like to be able to use an eink reader for sheet music as well.

After reading that post, with the pink color background, and then hitting the back button to come back here. Hacker News looked quite green for a few seconds. It was an interesting experience.
good point, probably why, also it's a spyware so I'll pass anyways.
All this talk of a free tier, but I can't see any information about it on the website or app store. Is it the "Free Trial", which indicates to me that it's a time limited demo?

I want this information before installing yet another app that appears too expensive for the value it provides. If I think the free tier might work for me, I'm much more likely to be convinced to go paid once I experience the value it adds to my life.

If this was $8/month I probably wouldn't have given the price a second thought, even though I'm fully capable of basic math.
> Economists are as effective as astrologists at predicting the future.

Yes, but a survey of economists or astrologers predictions it's still probably better than the survey of randomly chosen people, if for another reason then both of them are in the business of surveying your broad range of signals from a broad range of people to inform their predictions.

Any individual is capable of being wildly wrong in their predictions regardless of their title.
And it's probably going to be a pretty big issue in a few years, IMO.
Are the UK govt 'admitting' something, or merely just stating results? 'admits' seems weird here.
There was a study comparing the accuracy of predictions made by pundits, and Krugman came out as one of the best.
Don't tell republicans this. Lol.
I've tried to follow the links from the article and eventually came across this document [0]

What the attorney general Brnovich references are emails which shows google engineers are aware that people are confused by the settings. The specific example in this case is that your location is still tracked if you enabled Web & App Activity, but disabled Location.

The emails show the google engineers aren't surprised why users would expect a different result. The main reason people are confused, the google engineers think, is because google doesn't display they are still being tracked in their timeline (in this specific case).

Disclaimer: I'm biased against google, but hope I kept it factual.

I don’t think your comment is rude. It makes sense, even if I don’t agree with people who think the way you describe it. I made a best effort to describe the various possibilities that I think exist.

I just think that it’s silly when so many people condemn China for being unfree, yet at the same time throw away their free society values of encouraging discussions and respecting each others’ opinions, when it comes to discussing China topics.
OHHHH that's brilliant
Exactly as one vendors 7nm may well contain more atoms than another vendors 10nm node. Node numbers mean nothing beyond comparing against comparable node's.

Yes it's sad that node sizes are marketed in the same way the GHz race was at one stage and equally the disparity is greater when comparing nodes like for like.
+1. Plus an open access to the web with a choice of browsers is super important too! You can't do all of that with proprietary trash from e-ink––there's nothing good about physical paper (dead-trees) anyway to be promoting your product with.
I don't think eink makes much sense on a phone especially if your phone is also your camera.

Even if you aren't using it as a camera, eink displays aren't great for content that needs to be updated frequently. Aside from the slow refresh, they physically wear out relatively quickly.
Yes it is an historical HN bias. It has improved over the years as HN has broadened its user base and YC has "followed the money." But HN is still driven by the Silicon Valley bubble and Microsoft's unforgivable sin will always be it's not a Silicon Valley company and did not make the usual lot of VC's rich (it made it's employees rich instead).
Ask HN: What's the Stripe Atlas for existing businesses?
Stripe Atlas has been described as the "easy button" for forming a company. It helps you incorporate in Delaware, file taxes, etc.

I did all that by hand starting out. Although it was a good way to learn, I fear I've missed things. I'd love to have someone else managing the legal and tax side of things...especially now that I've sold my software to other states, so my situation is getting more complicated.

Is there an Atlas-like experience that takes on existing businesses?

But planes need that to decelerate / reduce both kinetic and gravitational potential energy though, don't they? I suppose air should always be able to do that even at higher efficiency.
> Real socialism is dangerous and people are scared of it for a reason.

Let's be honest: the only reason people in the US are scared of "socialism" is the fact that they've been immersed inanti-socialism propaganda throughout all their life.

Meanwhile, you can pretty much look at any European country to see how millions of people really feel about socialism.
Many people need to take more responsibility. I live in a place on the Pacific Rim with tsunami, earthquake and volcano risk. I have a massive mobile first aid kit, equipment/training for swiftwater rescue, baofeng radios, etc. When things go sideways, members of the community need to be prepared. The justification for community preparedness goes up as the frequency of the concern goes up, such as with hurricanes.

It's a shame that we've strayed so far from "Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country". Replace country with neighborhood, community, town, city, county, so on and so forth.

FEMA is a great extra layer of safety, but it's no replacement for community preparedness. FEMA's effectiveness is proportional to the preparedness of the community it is called in to help. FEMA is also a SPOF.

Everyone should operate under "No one is coming. It's up to us". When you assume the opposite, you create the conditions that greatly reduce the likelihood of a positive outcome in the event of disaster. You also consume resources that could have gone to people that do not have the means to prepare such as the poor, the elderly and the infirm.
Probably the size the lightwave smallest etch on a die. Now an etch doesn't make a transistor which means the smallest useful etch is larger.
Reinfections aren't a serious concern. Symptoms tend to be much less severe the second time due to the actions of immune system memory cells. SARS-CoV-2 is just like every other coronavirus in that regard. For example see the natural history of the OC43 coronavirus.
Show HN: StatusEntry – Affordable Status Page Product as SaaS
After needing a public status page for one of our products in the company I worked at, we saw that it was pretty expensive just to serve a public status page. So, we decided to build an affordable solution. We have more ideas to integrate on top of this product and we would really appreciate any feedbacks before we invest more into it. We want to see how much the community considers it valuable to spend more efforts.
You can see our short product tour video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLpEl7Y2DeU

We love startups like us and there is a completely free plan with fundamental features! https://www.statusentry.com/pricing

We would really appreciate any feedback and thanks for trying out StatusEntry.
I've noticed that if I am very careful people will often skip authentication steps and even just ignore them if they're lazy.

In my opinion we need to value these positions more. Higher salaries for these positions and more prerequisite education should be required. I don't think it'll happen without regulation though.
This is a single aspect of something i call the bay-area-bubble.

other aspects include to assume everyone have free wifi everywhere or unlimited latest-G data on their phone, last model Macs and phones, disposable income for 57 $9.99 monthly subscriptions, and live on food delivery.

Soon to include: everyone have a room fully set up for VR, with the latest headset du jour.
Holy crap! I thought my phone had messed up!
That is a very black-and-white metaphor. I agree that letting the wolves roam free is a naive and unworkable solution, but something needs to be done about the guard dogs eating the black sheep all the time, and the white sheep who think this is their proper function.
the date format and the 12 hour clock drives me nuts
> they know their rule by force is illegitimate, so they seek outside sources - typically more democratic sources - to legitimize them

China, however, unlike the USSR and Yugoslavia, has the unique advantage of a population so brainwashed that even Chinese students in foreign countries experiencing the benefits of democratic countries are feared for their loyalty to the CCP. Add to that the Great Firewall / their trend of a "Chinternet" aka Walled Garden for their citizens where the CCP controls the narrative and the informations, plus the strategy of allowing local small scale protests against corrupt public officials so that people vent... China doesn't need anyone's validation, they are too big. Unfortunately. The Western countries should have nipped that shit in the bud instead of selling out human rights for cheap crap.

Glossy glass is 21st century sexy, though. It looks premium compared to clear plastic.
A display with >10ms response times for writing does not cut it for me. I love the product, but this is something I can't compromise on. I really hope this problem on e-ink screens gets solved!
I wonder if they were using numbers from the IEA? That agency seems to have been massively hit by regulatory capture by the fossil fuel industry, and consistently underestimates the price reductions of renewables year after year.

One more stone's throw in a very long game ...

To acclimate passive surveillance in service of omnichannel sales and marketing.

To quantify and analyze everything.

The only countermeasure is to create tools to directly thwart these efforts, and provide self-contained systems to allow users to reap the benefits of these technologies (monitoring one's own health is certainly an objective good) while preventing those would profit on it from doing so.

I'm envisioning an application set to an encrypted algorithm who injects enough noise into this system, imperceptibly different from human behavior, that by private key the user is able to (privately, securely, and offline) remove the noise for their own analysis.
I didn't choose my example at random. See, I drove a rental car in Japan once. Since they drive on the left, I knew the driver seat was on the right, but what I didn't expect was the controls also swapped sides.

I had, without a doubt, the cleanest windshield in all of Hokkaido.
As an employer or manager frankly it's neither your responsibility nor your business to investigate how your reports are spending their personal time.

First of all, don't lose any sleep over it. If one of your guys is a huge troll it's not your fault that you didn't know. These assholes are going to look like everyday normal people in RL. Secondly don't go snooping on your employees without cause. This should go without saying.

Also small plug for the ACC -- American Conservation Coalition, a group of millennial conservatives. Whatever you may think of politics, you need support from both sides of the isle to get true change, and they genuinely believe in tackling the issue, but with market-based, evidence-based approaches.
This is exactly what I mean by lame. No modifications that let us jump over buildings. No guns hidden in our arms. No hookers with 3 boobs. Just surveillance and programming of the masses via social media.

Yes the key thing to remember here is that without something to augment it, wind and solar get diminished returned as they become a higher percentage of your generation capacity.

You need either nuclear or some heretofore not invented storage technology (or both) to get a reliable grid where wind and solar are a majority of your capacity.
