Probably an unpopular opinion but I'm not convinced by the article that this is a worthwhile endeavor. If a language has no written form, and those that actually use it view it as not worth saving what is the benefit of artificially preserving it other than as an historical curiosity.

The article says peoples cultural or ethnic identity are at risk, "an entire tradition can die with them" but it seems more that the culture has changed and the language is no longer useful. Long ago I watched a TED(x?) talk on the topic and the thrust of the speakers argument is that there are concepts that simply cannot be conveyed in other languages, but even at the time it seemed like a specious argument. There are loan words that are common in the English language and I don't think anyone is eager to replace with a 'native' word.

After having written the above the only reason I can think of is traditional songs that are passed down orally, which would be a loss I admit. Interested to learn something in the comments that I've probably overlooked.

Sure. But they don't. So is the error in them, for not following semantic versioning, or is the error in you for incorrectly assuming they follow semantic versioning?

Are you really just complaining about the version numbering? Ok, let's say they follow semantic versioning, and instead of calling it 3.8 they called it 4.0.

The package you use would still be broken.

Now what do you do?

Why don't you install Python 3.7 yourself and pip install the pre-built binary?

Man, that's an awfully written Wikipedia article.
It is some measure of popularity/maintenance. In choosing something to use, I would first check the activity (as a proxy to rate of bugfixes, for one), and second I will check the number of stars (as a proxy to how many people are watching/using this).

If there are more stars, I would assume that if the owner of the repo dropped off the face of the earth, it's more likely that a new maintainer would step up.

From my personal observation, those two go together and I usually don't take them in isolation. One may be able to game the stars, but they won't be able to game activity (issues, commits, etc.), I'm hoping at least not in a meaningful manner.
That logic would say that drugs, junk food, etc. are worth it. Plenty of people spend money on things that bring them no joy in the long term because they feel like they need them in the moment.
There are various claims in the field of linguistics that sometimes can be proven or disproven with empirical findings such as this.
Sir, with an inductive approach I guess you do not think my post is meritorious. My excuses, please feel free to cancel it.
The huge expense of housing is due to insane NIMBYism that somehow gets tied to progressive policies. Protect the children, the forest, the neighborhood. There's enough laws going around to protect everything that nothing can change at all. And it may or may not be intentional that this housing shortage increases property values.

My theory is that red states distaste for regulations discourages everyone from weaseling housing policies for their own interest.

Housing is definitely cheaper in cities within red states. And in my experience there's less homeless, which may be directly correlated.
The First Invisibility Cloak
I wonder how it works in Tokyo. They have the most impressive infrastructure of any city I've ever been to, and it seems that is because they never stop. At that point, it makes sense to just salary everyone involved and not deal with the corruption that comes from outsourcing. The most popular vehicle on the road in Tokyo appears to be the concrete mixer.

A science-fantasy story like Star Wars is about as far away from speculative scifi like Neuromancer and Blade Runner as you can get.
whether this navy is effective in a theater of war _today_ is a good question. They tend to be sub-optimal in a time dominated by PMC's and asymmetric warfare. Having a highly complex, maintenance-intensive fleet is nice for show and maybe to scare the odd South East Asian country into submission during disputes in the South China Sea. But for it to be effective it needs to be exercised in real life (kinetic) conditions. I think the PRC would get more bang for their buck by sending their troops to Africa (as they already do[1]) for them to get battle experience.

edit: I personally don't support any of their current & future war mongering and naval ambitions. The right foreign policy for the US would be maximum pressure and if they don't play by Western rules we should go to war with them immediately (we should have done so the moment they said Taiwan belongs to the PLC or when the news of the Uyghurs broke). Not doing so means we're only postponing this for a later point (when they are even stronger and when the damage will be even bigger on both sides).
> Breaking existing tests is rare. I don't mind some detective work when it happens. You start with a pretty strong lead, anyway: whatever you touched since the last time the test passed.

You describe the exact situation where the advice is not helpful at all.

Now imagine a large, very tightly interwoven codebase where in fact, making changes to a section of code breaks tests on the complete other side of the application.

If you don't follow that advice, you are immediately blocked, and pretty much at the mercy of someone else fixing their test (probably to be less needlessly specific or less assertive after changing requirements).

If they structured their test in a way that makes it clear why it should fail, you have the chance to investigate yourself how this contradicts with your changes.
McDonald’s Sued by Black Ex-Franchise Owners for Racial Discrimination
> These issues are what drove me to buy a Nikon Z7

This kind of thing is a reason I did not get a Z7. Compared to a D850, the Z7 "bakes in" processing even to RAW files.

At first when testing a Z7 I could not understand why the images in Lightroom looked like mobile phone photos. I tested a Z7 and a D850 while physically standing on the same spot and using the same lenses. The Z7 looked like overprocessed garbage, the D850 was flawless, natural, and creamy smooth in its tonality.

It took me ages to realise that the Z7's "unprocessed" look is actually processed, and that you have to undo the processing manually. At which point the pictures look virtually identical to the D850, as expected since the sensors are nearly identical.

I couldn't believe Nikon would do something this amateurish for a flagship product.

I guess the marketing team thought they needed the camera to be "familiar" for people upgrading from mobile phones or something silly like that...

I canceled Prime recently for those same reasons.

A lot of items still have free shipping. Amazon will give very pessimistic delivery date estimates and try to upsell Prime at every opportunity, but packages still get here fairly quickly. More often than not, an order arrives in 2 or 3 days even without Prime, almost always faster than the estimate given at checkout.

Ymmv, but it seems clear to me that Prime is more about manipulating purchasing behavior to buy more and the add-ons like video and grocery delivery than about the advertised free 2 day shipping.

> things like sports stadiums and teams

I went to a large school in one of the big NCAA athletic conferences. Their stadium cost around $100M in 2020 dollars, and they bring in roughly $100M in revenue from all sports annually. They call football and basketball "revenue sports" because they fund all the others. I'm not sure how much tuition goes to sports, but the big ones are very self-sufficient. That, and they serve as marketing for the school, and that can add value to the degree.
If you mean that vastly over estimated potential and politics from the Kennedy era, to keep increasing / justify spends on difference, yes I guess.

U.S. navy has more aircraft carriers than rest of the world combined. I don't see how any objective sense metric how China is even close to "largest" Navy. Sure if you count every boat/warship each navy has they might be larger. Just like Iraq had the largest army just by number of soldiers.
It's biological. The same patterns can be seen in other great apes. Huge inequality amongst males but equality amongst females.
You are correct in that they have not imprisoned a million Uyghur muslims.

Most laptops with any Nvidia hardware have two GPUs, one less power-hungry GPU integrated into the CPU and one dedicated GPU to play games on when you're connected to/sitting nearby a power outlet.

As good as the performance of mobile GPUs is these days, they still suck up a lot of power. I don't think you'll get much work done on the go with a laptop that only has a dedicated AMD/Nvidia GPU.

Portchain | Architect / Principal Software Engineer | Copenhagen, Denmark | REMOTE (UTC-1 to UTC+4) | Full time |

Requirements:

We're looking for a hands on Software Architect (~50% coding) with 10 years minimum of professional experience in Software Engineering. Experience with any or all of the following technologies is a plus: Node.js, React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL. Startup experience valued.

Our company:

Did you know that 90% of all goods globally are transported through a container, and the largest container vessels are 400 meters long and can transport 20,000 containers at a time? The container shipping industry is the back-bone and enabler of global trade, but it is struggling. At its core the industry is fundamentally inefficient: 50% of all container vessels globally are delayed coming into port, and key planning processes are done manually on a global scale. This leads to high operational costs, lost revenue, and unnecessarily high greenhouse gas emissions

Portchain is a 2 year old Danish container shipping startup devoted to help container carriers and terminals reduce operational complexity and optimize planning. We apply cutting-edge AI leading to both a better bottom line and less greenhouse gas emissions.

We are an international team of 15 people serving a global customer base and several of the largest companies in the industry. We have received $5M in funding to expand the team in order to serve our increasing customer traction.

> But it's extremely compensated well for what is essentially unskilled labor.

skill doesn't determine compensation - supply and demand does. If an action is unskilled, but has high demand and low supply, then said action will fetch a much higher price than another action which requires much skill, but has high supply.

And being on onlyfans is not unskilled - you need skill. Natural born skill is still considered a skill, and you will also need to be photogenic (or video-genic?). Being entertaining is also a skill, tho not always required.

Independent fact checkers are no better than Facebook, in fact in some cases are worse. Politifact, Buzzfeed and Washington Post are all included in the program and none of those are neutral. Politifact regularly spins political "fact checks", and will nuke evidence of their false claims from the internet (including from Archive.org) when they've been caught out.

The number one problem with these fact checkers is that statements usually cannot be proven to the standard they advertise. When Trump speaks, it's usually saturated in hyperbole, exaggeration, imprecise language and metaphors. Politifact use this ambiguity to their advantage to achieve their political goals, usually by labeling a statement false because the figure was off by 2% or Politifact assumed context from a statement that was never given.

If Trump says 37% of people do X, and Politifact posts "actshually, this is FALSE because it's only 35.78%", then that adds precisely nothing and is a clarification without meaning.

In fact, Politifact regularly labels factual statements false if they think some factors behind the numbers invalidate the argument made (which is patently ridiculous, especially when you talk about statistics).

"Fact checking" is so wishy-washy, subjective and rife with politically biased grifters that nobody should be trusted with the censorious power that Facebook bestows upon these biased entities.

> they are paying them to create

That’s really not true. Subsidising creation maybe, but for most patreon that I’ve seen most of the value produced by the creator is public.

There might be some exotic sideshows (eg access to a discord server, time-limited exclusivity is also common) but I’d see it more as funding creation than paying to create, the latter implies much more direct transaction and benefits / exchange e.g. commissioned work, that is “paying to create”.
If you substitute the words "honeybee venom" with "bleach", the key points you mentioned stay true.

My point is, this paper doesn't have a very useful finding.
China surpassed the US in GDP normalized to PPP in 2014, which is the statistic that captures the power of their economy to manufacture and employ military force. Given current trends, it is inevitable that China's military will surpass the US's military power based on their economic prowess and manufacturing capability.
In a sense yes. But the main difference here is that on HN, the tech celebrity does not specifically target themselves to people who would like to be rubbing virtual shoulders with celebrities.

China Military spending 2019: $261 billion, or 1.9% GDP

US Military spending in 2019:

China leapfrogged the U.S. by spending a little less than one third of what the US squandered. Just let that sink in.

Oh and you know what China really is spending its money on, instead of militarized local police forces? Research.
