I don't think that the possibility to kill yourself in a supercar has much to do with its engine placement.
If you're not a trained driver and you can't control oversteer on a RWD car with the ESC turned off, you're probably going to crash no matter where the engine is.
Running is great too! No personal experience with shrooms.
I think there is some misunderstanding here based on the wording used. OPs point is simply that there is no separate, explicit branching process. Instead, there is only the normal, continuous evolution of the wavefunction.

Our experience is recovered from this by positing that subjective/phenomenological experience is somehow tied to the individual components of the wavefunction. Since the individual components don't interact with each other, it gives the appearance of branching. This is compatible with our observations.
Amazing! I think this is the better open-source alternative to Google Meet and Zoom. Of course, this may not be filled with all the features offered by them, but this is more than enough for meeting 6-8 people at a time.

Upwork is great, I found a lot of good Eastern European developers. I set the rates to at least 75 USD/hour however (which is a lot by Eastern European standards, and so it's very worth it to them), and I ask questions through the project proposal and the chat as to whether they know exactly how to solve my problem or not. This process weeds out most of the unqualified candidates. Perhaps you are not vetting thoroughly enough or not paying enough to be worth their time.
Intel has just ridden on marketing and anti competitive maneuvering for so long that their actual engineering side has gotten complacent/suffocated. I'm sure they could be (and probably are on their way to being) back as a serious player with management that ceases the bullshit.

That dependency goes both ways: it’s an interdependency. I suggest you read about the European Coal and Steel Community after WW2.

The Russians want to sell Europe their gas despite being somewhat politically opposed: that money props up a huge chunk of their economy. The oil and gas oligarchs would not be happy with Putin if he stopped exports.
The opportunity cost of electricity, what you call waste, is the most apolitical and ungameable resource available. Every other example to "vote" I've seen quickly devolves into another political game.

If the intent is to test for resilience (not getting discouraged by setbacks) or for technical savvy (being able to debate the merits of the approach knowledgeably, and able to refine/pivot when problems with it encountered), I don't understand introducing the variable of rudeness.

If A being rude to B, there's a good chance B will walk away, even if B could argue their point.

If the situation is such that B can't walk away -- meaning that A has power over B -- then A being rude in that context is not only unpleasant, but possibly also an abuse of power by A.

Because they get big, and when they get big, their primary goal becomes not "make money by delivering cutting-edge technology" but simply "make money". MBAs are thought to be subject matter experts at making money.
I think if you make a load of simplified sweeping generalisations about clothing and it's symbolic role in our culture you can come to some pretty banal yet fashionable conclusions. Oh look mens clothes are about power, womens clothes are like they are due to men exerting sexual power over women. Women don't have agency in our history, men are trying to show off their penises as an expression of power. Its all so predictable and boring. The dickhead joke is pretty good though.
Not only tech companies. The same can be said about Boeing, except there lives were lost due to that decision.

Convenience, pricing and social features. That's how Steam grew so big.

It takes much more effort to torrent something than to click "Add to cart" button in Steam. And even if the price is too high, one can always wait for a sale or a giveaway. Nor will a pirated copy give street cred in the form of achievements, "games owned" and "hours played".

The success of Steam, Netflix and Spotify has shown that there's plenty of money in the world, but you have to earn it by providing the best value.

I've been an Apple user since the late 80s and from a usability point of view, I hate these mice with a passion, when I buy a new Mac, they always go in to a draw and my cheap old Logitech replaces them.

Apart from the ergonomics of how they feel in the hand, it's literally impossible for the mouse to register both left and right click simultaneously, which means if I feel like playing the occasional game, I'm stuffed.
Spectre and meltdown are key events that explain why intel is in this situation right now.
So what are you precomputing?

Rainbow Tables are a precomputation "time-space tradeoff" attack. You do a bunch of preparatory work which is amortized over multiple attacks and results in needing space to store all your pre-computed data. This is nice for two reasons:

1. You get to do all the hard work before your attack, leaving less time between the attack and your successful acquisition of the passwords compared to work that's necessarily done after stealing the credential database.

2. You can re-use this work in other attacks

But if you're waiting until you know the salt you don't get either of these advantages, so Rainbow Tables are irrelevant.

It's like if somebody mentions the F-14 fighter jet in a discussion about the fastest way to get from Times Square to Trump Tower. Yes the F-14 fighter jet is a fast aeroplane, but it can't go to either of those places so it isn't relevant whereas Usain Bolt is a very fast human so he really could run from one to the other.
Almost everything about Apple is driven by style instead of substance. That's one of the reasons why Apple is so successful - people are shallow.

You're right, of course.

I still think that the trend is there (in this thread, the comments aren't very nuanced and before I commented, the ratio of "against:non-against China" was 3:1, but now the ratio is much more even)

Without getting numbers for it, not much can be done to understand/address the situation

I will be honest: I'm starting to dread the joke threads appearing on HN. I've noticed an uptick of these reddit-esque joke threads in the past few months and I've been puzzled why since I don't remember this phenomenon happening before.
Its more profitable to extract rent than it is to innovate, if you are a near-monopoly triply so.
I am of course still somewhat sympathetic to a little less obsessive view that ties may function as phallic symbols, given that there is a difference between design and engineering - a rocket is shaped the way it is because of its engineering purpose, but a tie seems to have no purpose other than design (although I suppose the cravat and pre-modern ties had other purposes.)

- I didn't think this observation should be an edit on the original comment.

> TURN is a must if both people are behind NATs

This is not what double NAT means. If both people are behind single NAT, STUN is enough.

I think it is also enough if one person (or both) are behind more than one regular NAT, which is what double-nat usually means.

Where STUN doesn't work is symmetric NAT [1], where different destination servers will receive a packet with different source ports, even if the original source port was the same.

It also doesn't work in a few, lesser-used NAT types [2].

Great info! I'll be mentally playing action movie montage music when I suit up for my meetings, get my hair-cut, or put on comically large hipped renassance pants, going forward.
Nice work. This feels like a video conferencing analogue to Tuple, the pair programming app.
Boeing is a tech company. In recent years the term „tech company“ became plagued, because every startup for some redicilous webapp or service that hires only JS programmers and designers got a habit of calling themselves „tech companies“. Brrrr.
To be clear, you’re absolutely right about the rudeness. But it happened to me, when sama referred me to a VC. They were extremely nice in how they said “but that probably won’t work because X,” and I was too young to recognize that they were probing for determination. Nowadays I’d chuckle and say nah, that’s not the problem because x; y is the issue, but we address that with z.

(Only if it’s true though! A surprising number of founders try to BS their way, which is always a mistake.)
How is Boeing not a tech company?
> As long as trades are happening, there is some sort pricing mechanism.

Sure but my concern is that pricing now looks less about fundamentals and more about the meta game of what other traders are gambling at the moment. What do you think about the price discovery mechanism for Bitcoin for example?
Quarterly reports didn't start mattering in a vacuum, any more than the fact that a calendar is broken into days and weeks causes people to focus on daily and weekly timetables to the detriment of yearly and decade long ones.
To some deleted comment --

I believe there are many Chinese people, visiting HN everyday to discover and share cool stuff, and look forward to conversations that are intellectually beneficial to the participants.
If anything, I hope I'm one of these good people, not a troll.

When the situation started to get tight, the meaning of word "we" here is shifting to "we Americans", but you see, unless HN put up a rule to block Chinese users, they will be here. Still looking for fun stuff, but end up seeing the theme turning to "tension", "conflict".

They think differently. Some views may seem unfair, or don't make sense to them.
They usually just keep quiet, hide the entries and move on. But sometimes it gets too annoying, so they'll also raise a few points.

It is you who thinks defending China is not ok.
So in converse, there will be people who think it is.

It doesn't make one troll because she's not speaking in your favor.
I thought this was all fine?
Can we just, sit down and compute?
Since most IPv6 routers I have seen have default firewall rules similar to NAT (allow outgoing, and incoming only if part of a valid session), STUN servers would probably still be required, wouldn't they?
Have you read any news recently?

CNN:

"A whole generation wiped out"

"China still vulnerable to deadly second wave"

"Covid-19 tests could encourage workers to play Russian roulette"

"Stories of discarded bodies reveal a city totally overwhelmed by covid-19"

"Coronavirus may lurk deep in lungs after patients recover"

"Nearly all patients put on ventilators died"

"Welcome to the house of horror"

"Covid-19 causes sudden strokes in young adults"
Not OP but it sounds like the basis of a tool to validate where the source material comes from, as well as to reveal how much has been elaborated upon in other versions.

Also, elaborating from / interpreting OP, to explore the parts of a given article which have absolute merit, and discovering patterns in effective language.

Obviously this won't be necessary knowledge for the sake of writing, though nonetheless interesting for linguists. But with the machines busying themselves with that, a good analysis and production could have a profound effect on spoken language. As in, you are what you read, and, unless you're still reading the classics, for a decent majority(?) that will necessitate an evolution in language. Not to mention the potential misuse by politicians and public speakers who will have a new level of delicate and gripping rhetoric.
can some one tell me why I want NAT kicked to the curb? I like the idea that you get slightly less info from me behind nat. I have 14-15 devices but if I understand, from the outside my NAT they look like one device. I like that honestly though maybe I shouldn't. That it's harder to do peer to peer is partly the point.
One way to support this would be to make FixCache support an optional hook that would be responsible for deciding if a given commit was a bug fix or not. Naively, it could have an interface like "IsBugfix(commit SHA1Hash) bool". The hook could be implemented as a function call to a used-defined plugin or something, or perhaps by executing an external process (e.g. shell exec my_custom_isbugfix.sh abcd1234")

Then users could write a custom hook that looked up the given commit using github's APIs or whatever other crazy scheme your team uses for bug tracking (e.g. cross reference JIRA ticket number baked into commit message with JIRA and look at the type of the JIRA ticket), but FixCache itself could be kept clean and pure from these integrations, which most users wouldn't want.

Github has lots of APIs, I'd bet it is possible to do this with github provided the data defining the relationship between the commit and the bug is encoded somehow -- either in commit message or in github issue or PR metadata or comment text.
I mean you could also pay someone who is educated to handle the situation
The key thing that caused Intel to be in this situation right now was that their EUV play totally failed. If it had succeeded when they hoped it would, they would be so far ahead of the competition that none of this would matter.
As your run-of-the-mill web dev who's been using TypeScript professionally for about 5 years, I find posts like this fascinating.

> Ultimately it's never advisable to upgrade simply for the sake of it, so if you are happy with performance under Windows '98, leave it be.

Oh I remember back years ago doing the very stupid upgrade of my localized 98 SE to some 180-day trial of English version of 2000 which was bundled with special release of PCWorld Computer magazine. The end result was a system that look like it was half translated - Polish language strings were popping around in weirdest places; tho, nothing was lost as translation, terminology used in 98 was really poor and actually improved later with Windows 2000.

> But going for something that doesn't fall apart every five minutes, such as Linux or BeOS

The R5 and R5.1 were stable for me but since I had no Internet at home, the OS was barely useful with bundled software but still interesting to try. Even Mandrake Linux I've tried next was "tamed" - beside the unrecognisable Fortemedia FM801 chipset of my soundcard.

Reality shows otherwise. We don't need one entity to control all the hashrate. One controlling more than 50% is already fatal. Depending on what definition you use we already have that. China as a jurisdiction can be considered one entity. The price may or may not calculate that risk in but no matter how much it would fall it does not turn back time.
Remember hashes per second is cheaper to produce when you produce more. That doesn't change if the price drops. The small hash producers are first to become unprofitable and have the smallest reserve's + as soon as they go bankrupt the others are more likely to become profitable regardless of price simply because there is now less competition.
If one of the large player would go bankrupt the market would be flooded with cheap ASICs most likely to be bought up by the remaining large players.
Sadly, I fear that’s the way Apple itself is trending, too.
White US professor Jessica Krug admits she has pretended to be Black for years
Although Boeing is a tech/mfg. company, the point is that current senior mgmt. thinks of (and has said) ROI first (ie. Wall Street), and their aerospace tradition last as "a quaint notion."

For example, 787 design and mfg. was almost entirely outsourced to vendors, and was a financial and time disaster similar to the A380, with around $50 billion lost each.

(Some Boeing engineers have told harrowing program stories, and the uncontained battery fires, FOD, wiring and wing root cracks illustrate that.)

70% of each 737 is made by Spirit AeroSystems, not Boeing:

https://www.flightglobal.com/systems-and-interiors/pictures-...

The reasons for the above issues are that the original company founders, who were aerospace eng. pioneers, are all gone, and US military procurement told plane makers there were "too many competitors to manage" and to merge.

Hence the rise of the MBA, and "too big to fail", even when things go $50 billion bad.

Saying people are shallow is probably not wrong per se, but maybe a somewhat pessimist perspective. For example, you could also conclude that beautifully made products are simply more fun to use.
The problem with 10 year plans is that they are far too fixed. The Soviet Union and every other realsozialist country failed with 5 year plans.

What's needed, though, are 10-50 year visions: basically, management plans "where do we want to be in a long period of time" and owners commit to that. That is the reason why the German family-owned Mittelstand is so successful - they are not bound to ever changing demands (especially not of "activist shareholders").
It stands out that a worldwide event like coved won't alter the trajectory as far as I an see, on these trends. If i missed something long lasting on the natural reproductive rates of these economies id love to know.

Whats strongly causative of the decline is literacy, especially women's literacy, and women's body autonomy and reproductive rights.

US opposition to WHO and to funding contraception and abortion is (thankfully) being counterbalanced by the gates foundations work, and other funding sources. A pox on the religious right, and American foreign policy.
This is true, I bought the "Hackers and Painters" book before discovering HN. Pretty inspiring at the time.

I've always thought its because MBA's are experts at inserting themselves in the process, and grabbing all the cash.
