97% of Stanford student undergrads live on campus. At many other colleges students are not allowed to live off campus unless they submit a formal request and receive approval to do so, and 90%+ is common. Then there are other types of schools with few or no students living on campus.
So many big tech cos are rely on the regulated nature of payments to dominate their market. The more regulation, the more the need for an intermediary to act as the tyrannical banker. This makes the case for crypto more obvious.
True, but I doubt that is a good measure either. Production and logistical capabilities of missiles is probably more important. Large ships like carriers are very vulnerable and heavy pieces of metal to direct missile attacks or modern subs.

> the government does not succeed if students are stuck in debt forever. Therefore when government gives the loans, incentives are aligned and lending goes down.

That's a double edged sword. Yeah, the government doesn't have the profit motive that predatory lenders do, but they also lack the incentive to say no to students who are borrowing money to study things that won't do much to help them pay it back. Politicians don't get re-elected on a platform of "let's reduce student loan amounts" or "let's give less money to students who are studying subjects that won't help them earn much". And the bureaucrats running the program don't have the power or the incentive to impose discipline here either.
Connection is free for me. I've slept with tens of women without paying a penny. The problem here is the huge inequality that exists in the male population when we let things go back to nature. Religion is dead. Marriage is dead. Women are free and everyone is suffering apart from the top percentiles of men.

A Complete Guide to Regression Testing
China's plans aren't a big secret. There's Made In China 2025.[1] The 14th Five Year Plan is being drafted now. Unlike the USSR, China was reasonably successful in meeting the goals of the 13 Five Year Plans so far, with the notable exception of the Great Leap Forward fiasco of the 1960s.

The Made In China 2025 plan focuses on pharmaceutical, automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, IT and robotics manufacturing. The goal is to have a state of the art position in all those fields by 2025.

China is a big country and large parts are still "developing". But because it is so large, other parts are capable of landing things on the Moon.
I'm convinced the slower delivery options are outright lies. After I dropped Prime, I'd see the same threat of a 5-7 day delivery time for an order using free shipping but most of the time it still arrives in 2 or 3 days.
> really need all of the parts, otherwise you will have a broken, half-working (if that) system

WWW won exactly because it was half finished - extendable and not despite of it, otherwise we would all be using Gopher now.

By that argument cleaning hotel rooms is a hobby.
If we have come to the place where individuals can violate controlled airspace either in a flying suit or a drone and our reaction is to shut down transport, we've come to a very strange place. I say this because some responses here are exploring the catastrophic consequences. Catastrophic consequence in flights are a fact of life.

We've had these consequences for some time, in other ways which really aren't that different. You can buy materiel on the open market and devices like drones without gps lockouts, or I guess flying suits.

El-Al has been flying at a higher risk profile than others for some time. So has cargo in the "stans" and the middle east and Africa. I'm not saying "shoot him down" is the best choice but there surely exist a range of choices here up to and including defensive action?

Commercial ships can request rights to armed force on deck in the pirate zones. Lethal force. We lock the guns up otherwise but the reasons the Gatling guns are fitted (if that's what they are) are understood. Aircraft can have anti missile systems. We've had that for years.

I think the ways we will deal with this will be broadly similar - perimeter defences, on aircraft detection systems, IFF and boots on the ground.

We probably don't have a systemic risk profile change here beyond the breakdown in the social contract: its funny to play but things work better when grown-ups don't do some things. Maybe 2nd amendment rights to a flying suit as a weapon is a thing?

I think the race is not to “Save” pidgins and creole languages but instead to fully document them. These languages represent a unique natural experiment that will probably not occur again. Studying them provides insight into how the language module of the mind works.

“China leapfrogged the U.S. ...” Or maybe not and this is just pentagon propaganda to suck up more funding.

China has not “leapfrogged the US military”, you are comparing dissimilar numbers. If you want to compare the real power of a navy, you’re better off comparing warship tonnages, while taking into account the force-multiplier effect of forward operating bases. China has many, smaller ships than the USA, and far less power projection capability, especially when it comes to naval aviation.
I can't figure it out either, but puzzling/frustrating as it is, please don't post comments asking about downvotes - it's against the site guidelines (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Usually unfairly downvoted comments get corrective upvotes eventually (as happened above), but off topic ones like this get downvoted more.
I love the idealism, but the problem with most long tails is that in practice they are way more weighted to the head than we tend to think they are. I found what seem to be slightly more concrete numbers than I had in my original post: less than 4% of Patreon's total number of creators make $1K or more a month, but they account for about 70% of Patreon's revenue. Their single top-grossing creator accounts for a full percentage point of revenue.[1] The bottom half or so is probably alarmingly close to a rounding error.

I could certainly imagine Patreon making a pitch to bigger creators about taking control of their own destiny and keeping more of their money. Would it work? I don't know. But a single creator who averages $1M a month is twice as valuable as a thousand creators who average "only" $500 a month. If you're idealistic, you may still prioritize the thousand, but if you've taken multiple rounds of VC money at a multi-billion dollar valuation, you're gonna look real hard at what you can do to bring in that one.

Star Wars is fantasy. It lacks the bite of hard speculative fiction.

To quote William Gibson “the future is already here it’s just not well diffused yet”.

So what will our world really look like if we extrapolate from now?

I’ll bet it’s less neon and flying cars and more boarded up retail shops and government sponsored troll farms.

The CCP isn’t building this navy for fun.

Does anything China’s done recently make you think they lack ambition?

Just look at the extent of their fishing operations.

But isn't a "developer advocate" trawling social media for opportunities to dump clarifications also a form of PR? It seems as if data tech has co-evolved the "good cop/bad cop" pattern. I'm not complaining though, so much better than "bad cop" alone.
China spends a lot in the US, too. Raytheon, Lockheed Martin and Boeing all sell lots to the PLA.

We are arming our enemies.

You don't know it (pun intended).

There is, in fact, no definition of what "you" even is. It's called a "hard problem of consciousness" for a reason.

In Germany we have all three: everyone with the proper credentials ("Abitur" plus a couple side ways for those who didn't manage it, like a Master certification in a trade) can attend university, our universities are top notch, and free (even for foreigners).
If you change the topic from prostitution to food, does it make any difference?

I am surprised by how precise the description of symptoms is. Hyper vigilance, anxiety, avoidance, taking things too seriously, I could definitely relate to that as someone who has been having very little social interactions during this period.
I would love to dig deeper but I keep hitting a firewall of propaganda.
Yes, that clarifies a lot.

And yes, one repository per configuration (per customer code).

Is it that you have one inventory per customer configuration? Or how do you manage multiple inventories in this setup?
Question: what is the sentiment around how this may affect pricing of the non-consumer cards? There was already a disparity, but the gap is now indecent - something like a T4 looks to be worse than a 3090 and more than double the price on basic specs (understanding there are some elements designed specifically for server environments). Is there any potential nVidia will have to shift on these prices or do we have to wait for a next generation of those before we can expect more affordable data center GPUs?
I missed the ATLAS/TDAQ HLT/Alice references, though. :)

If you don't think a big part of the appeal of sports fandom is artificial group connection of much the same type as the kinds of artificial individual connection some people seek through the entertainment you are denigrating, I think you are quite mistaken.

But, again just as for sports, just being entertained is a big part of this, too.
>China surpassed the US in GDP normalized to PPP in 2014

Non-PPP-normalized GDP is a better metric than normalized GDP in this case, as it also captures the ability of their economy to purchase things on the international market. China doesn't make all its military technology internally (and couldn't given it still hasn't caught up to the state of the art in e.g. semiconductors).
Yes, that's depicted in the video I linked (THR REF is thrust mode). I didn't mean to imply that the autothrottle will only stay at V2 speed, but rather that the automation won't go below it.

Consider Spain's linktax , Google's AMP and continuous Reactification of the Web into SPAs. The present doesn't look bright but everyone except Big Tech realizes that decentralization is needed. The same thoughtless article about the Web gets posted every week with one being worse than another, the Web is dead long live the Web!
It's a shame we live in a society where most of the discourse has to be polarized. If you're a victim you can either be blameless or else it's victim blaming.

From the information I could find it appears vice engaged in immoral behavior and she responded in kind.

Furthermore she didn't so that in order to protect herself but in order to retaliate.

While I don't agree with the morality if her retaliation, that doesn't automatically make Vice's position any better. They are still much worse. For one they are a company with legal department etc and should know better.

As for whether she has legal recourse or not… a honest question:

According to Wikipedia she had an agreement with Vice which they broke. What kind of agreement is an agreement that cannot be upheld in court. Can an american company just do what they please anywhere in the world?

Oh I don't disagree. But the fading is an important element of HN's design—I don't mean its web design, I mean its community design. It's one critical way in which the community signals that it has found something wrong with a comment.

I know that downvoting is controversial and I know that the fading feature is unpopular with some. But it is the way the community works. We can debate it at length and I'll argue that it's a good feature. (I think it was one of pg's master strokes actually. For all its annoyance, it creates important feedback loops, both within the community and between the community and the outside world.) But the point here is that since third party clients are representing HN to the world, there's a need to represent HN as it actually is. Otherwise readers come along, get the wrong idea, and judge the community badly.

To be clear, we don't supply the fading information in the API yet, so third party clients couldn't represent this aspect easily even if they wanted to. But it's an example I've started to think about lately.
That’s my point.

It’s not secret but Netflix and Amazon aren’t exactly rushing to layout what the future will look like when the Chinese achieve these goals.
Hard for some people, evidently.

But if you were standing next to a machine you had "uploaded" to, and I was asked to identify which was really you, I would have no slightest doubt. And, really, neither would you.
No, it makes the case that crypto is so hard to use that people would rather use Patreon.
Of course it's biological. You see the same behavior across the globe, in all cultures and societies.
But why are card processors annoyed by chargebacks? It's pretty much the reason why these companies exist in the first place, and it should be considered normal part of their life.
Sounds like you are describing two different scenarios: 1. connecting to cellular networks when away from home/office and 2. connecting to internet routers at home/office.

Don't take my word for it, read the work cited in the article. Note how much they still rely on (static) IP addresses. If we removed the IP address as a reliable item of available data, based on observed practices (not theory), that would likely be significant.

"Mishra et al. demonstrated that IP addresses can be static for a month at a time [42] which, as we will show, is more than enough time to build reidentifiable browsing profiles."

"Secondly, ground truth was established based on reidentifying visitors with a combination of IP Address and UserAgent, perhaps biasing the baseline data to under-represent users accessing the web from multiple locations."

"Even if traditional stateful tracking is addressed, IP address tracking and fingerprinting are a real concern as ongoing privacy threats that can work in concert with browser history tracking. We point readers to Mishra et al.'s [42] discussion on IP address tracking and possible mitigations. They observed IP addresses to be static for as long as a month at a time, and while not a perfect tracker, IP addresses are trivial to collect."
My guess is they give artists exposure in exchange for a share of the profits through their channels. I don't know if they can monetize the free stream on YouTube, but they also stream on payable streaming services and sell albums on Bandcamp.

We have different customers with different servers and applications. Every customer has its own repository with one or more inventories.
Culture is a difficult thing to discover in a relatively short interview, but usually I look for certain signs. Typically if I feel that the interview is more like an extended discussion instead of like being in a game show, it's usually a good sign.

It's also things around the interview itself, e.g. are you being treated respectfully, or do you feel like being just one CV among many. Do they respect your time; do they talk as an equal, or as a superior person; do they get back to you if they don't go through; and more. I find that a company that treats their applicants respectfully typically have a more agreeable culture.

Of course this is just my experience. Some game show style interview companies may turn out to have a great culture, but what I find without fail is that if you're respected as an applicant, the culture can't be that bad :)
Did you consider charging people for signing up and posts they made?

It turns out that when people have to pay for extra posts past the first three a day they get a lot more circumspect in what they say. I set up a mailing list with that feature once upon a time and the quality of posts was astronomical.
There was a strongly held belief that Japan will dwarf the US at one point too. And true, Japan has massively developed but is nowhere near a superpower.

Also, IIRC the EU as a block has a bigger GDP than the US by some margin, and yet isn’t a “joint superpower”.

Money is a necessary, but not sufficient condition.
