> We theoretically want orderly, compassionate, and polite people moderating the public discourse.

I understand why you would think that WRT moderating discussions or comments, especially where that entails interaction with the participants (eg. what dang does here on HN), but those considerations don't really apply to making a determination of whether a video should be taken down.
Seems pretty factual to me. One (small) US city warned about water supply contaminated with this microbe.

The water really was contaminated. The residents really were warned not to use the water supply. The contaminate really does kill people by eating their brains.

The headline did not say to go full panic mode for people not in the affected area. The headline did not say the situation was out of control. Which part of the headline was misleading or panic mongering?
Hal is the person I believe was Satoshi. All of the evidence points to him more than anyone else I have read about. But wanting to keep his identity secret makes perfect sense given what happened.
I was thinking about writing a markdown extension that would render a code block into an image using this and this extra system dependency is also what turned me off. It's just an extra roadblock for users and whole block of extra instructions for each platform that users have to figure out. It would be better if it would just work out of the box.
Little Emperors: Children of China's One-Child Policy
After hearing Will MacAskill talk about how he lives his life in accordance to his ethics he quickly became a personal hero of mine, and he certainly influenced me to start donating.

My tax-year-end donation in 2019 was at the time my biggest, as I'd completed my 1st year of full-time employment. Hovering on the donate button I definitely felt large reservations as my brain made all sorts of excuses not to send away thousands of dollars that were 'mine'. I felt that it would be helpful to document those reservations so that I could look back on them after years of donating, and I did so here: https://thundergolfer.com/charity/politics/effective-altruis...

After selling some of my stock compensation last month I doubled my previous largest donation, and the reservations were almost completely gone. It'd become obvious that my happiness depended not on that extra money but on all sorts of other non-monetary things, and my safety and health was also obviously protected enough without it.

If I 'napkin-math' the numbers and assume ~6% returns on investment and normal income growth for today's software engineers, over my life my donating will see my net-worth reduced by more than $5 million dollars. But as a young person contemplating today's crises and the crises of our near future I couldn't give less of a shit about being $5 million dollars richer.

> The reality that science shows is far worse than what has permeated mainstream culture

I'm really curious where did you get this information from. I suppose it must not be popular or mainstream media, because of course msm telling you that science shows a worse reality than msm is a contradiction.

So does which primary literature does it come from?
That wordpress default favicon makes me actually really sad in this context.
I think the need arises because it's often glossed over in public education--more of a corrective reaction.

Western history, especially the US in US public education, often glosses over past atrocities committed. Maybe western civilizations aren't inherently more evil than others in some cases, but we also aren't inherently much less evil or were driven under some pure altruism as some may think.

Nope. It is to protect users.

Users are harmed by both intentional bad behaviour and incompetence. This is the same principle as strict liability for product faults.

Static analysis is great and required for modern development in dynamic languages and CPU/memory intensive to do well

These big companies should write their own LSP server since all editors support the LSP protocol and mandate their use in employee editors

Waiting till compile time to find that typo is rubbish, at runtime and compile time there should be as little checks as possible to keep performance up and the application running but on every keystroke in the editor it should be check city and again in CI

Instead Facebook keeps lagging up their dynamic languages by building incompatible languages with static analysis into the compile step fracturing communities for a worse solution
This is opposite of Streisand effect. It's turning out to be terrific free publicity for this island resort with 4.5 stars on Trip Advisor, and actually portrays the resort as victim of a loser guest who was asked to pay a standard corkage fee, refused, then went off and accused the resort of slavery. I mean, just the top image on the Yahoo link, of a gorgeous beachfront, looks pretty great right now.

Here's a tip, when you visit, or move to, a foreign country, expect to live by its laws, not the laws of the country you left.
> (In theory the grid tries to keep somewhat accurate time, but in practice at least on the west coast the departures can be pretty substantial.)

I was under the impression that even though the frequency drifts can be substantial, the grids compensate so that the total number of cycles over a longer time matches pretty exactly what the target frequency would have given?

I.e. if the target is 60 Hz, and 61 Hz happens for an hour, then the grid will later on intentionally go down to 59 Hz for an hour (or, perhaps more likely, a frequency close to, but below, 60 Hz for a longer time) to compensate. This is an easier task than targetting a fixed frequency, because the total number of cycles is just a matter of counting and crude intentional drifts for compensation. And it's the total number of cycles that AC-synced clocks use, so they might run slow or fast for a short while, but will then correct themselves by running faster or slower later on.

They were rather brutal warlike lot but to compare them to the third reich needs justifying - can you say why?. Also saying they got what they deserved is to condone genocide, and also to ignore what the conquistadors inflicted on them. Conquistadors were appalling people.
It is not fair to compare taxes between countries with and without healthcare, but it is almost impossible to compare otherwise. For example USA has huge prices and excellent services compared to almost any other country, in my country (Romania, Europe) the socialized healthcare is so bad many people have a private insurance, I have 2 private insurances through my employer and I still pay out of the pocket about half of everything I get (100% of dental care is out of the pocket, most consultations are covered by the private plan, most treatments are out of the pocket).
If they need the e-mail address for legal reasons then you can not withdraw consent, as consent was not the legal basis for storing this data in the first place. They also correctly inform you about changes in the terms of service, as this likely affects the data they store on you (e.g. they might have another legal basis for storing it).
Here's Lazarus Long's list, from Heinlein's "Time Enough for Love", which I had actually just posted on another thread recently:

"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

I'd possibly leave out the militaristic stuff, but the rest of it is pretty much spot on :)
There is no “greentech” that mitigates the environmental damage of the luxury everyone wants, which is space. And no one with kids is going to voluntarily accept living in cramped apartments while other countries have individual houses on lots.

Increased space per person => increased fossil fuel usage => increased emissions.

Maybe the greatest “greentech” would be dissuading having kids, either culturally or economically.

I realize this. Which is exactly why I said that "Yes, you need to listen". The parent comment responded to implied that was the only way.

If you don't listen you can't do what I stated above. And if you can't do what I stated above then you're not going to be able to help the customer and, ultimately, not be all that successful in sales.

Case in point... I had a customer years ago about to spend roughly a million dollars on a remote site upgrade architecture we had been jointly working on for about 6 months. In the background I was tracking a new product that would make their initiative cheaper and had both better ROI and performance specs due to refreshed hardware.

I made sure to present this, get all the information in front of the customer, engage in discussions using our PM and derive a strategic deal that would save them money over the three year term for buying a new product early.

They didn't do it. My counterpart appreciated the option even though it would have slipped their project by 2 months. Him and I are still friends even though I've moved on since then, but the moral of the story is he still brings that up because, in hindsight, he said he should have trusted our proposal. They spent more, got less and had to upgrade earlier due to unforeseen circumstances. Part of it was bad luck, the other part was a cognizant decision he made against the sales team better judgement.

I listened. I knew the customer very well, in fact. But I had knowledge and experience with the products that outstripped his for navigating this situation. That's how a good sales team operates.
I've typically used example.com for testing, but link says it's just for documentation. Sounds like .test is the sanctioned way.

You're showing an example of a function signature in a specific language, not an example of typing though. These are related but not exactly the same.

For example here is a Ruby version, very dynamic:

def request(method, url, **options)
end
request("get", "http...", foo: "bar")

And here is a completely statically typed Crystal version:

def request(method, url, **options)
end
request("get", "http...", foo: "bar")

The argument types are inferred automatically from the usage and mismatched usage will be caught at compile time. And in the second case the ide can still tell you the types in the signature if you want to know them.

In the third example, here's completely dynamic python:

def request(method: str, url: str, **options): Dict[...]

No type checking happens here in the language itself.

So what I'm getting at is - if you don't like languages with verbose explicit type signatures, it doesn't mean you don't like static types.
JavaScript is not untyped, it’s dynamically typed. The types are still there, they are just not enforced at compile time.

Bitcoin miners are the ones that use the energy calculating the SHA256 functional. The cost of the function is not relevant to energy use as competition between miners means the energy used will match the value of the block reward.

This optimizing is for the users of the bitcoin network that must validate that the rules are being followed so they can reject any miners that do not follow the consensus rules

But most education systems everywhere gloss over these kinds of things. Japan is a well known example, but do think Turkey indulges on the atrocities of the Ottoman Empire?

As a kid, I thought it was so cool when I'd see a manager in a TV show or movie dictating to-do lists.

I have tried setting up different emails or numbers to text to that create different types of tasks, using Google Assistant with Clickup integration, copy/pasting to Google Sheets from Google Docs with formulas in Sheets to extract priority/tag and then Zapier to bring items from Sheets over to Asana, but I can't quite seem to get the tech right to make the "manager dictates" scenario easy enough. I always seem to need a VA to fill in where automation is tricky.

I too would happily buy this car if I didn't own an EV already, but it's too cheap.

That's not me turning my nose up at it by the way, it's that invariably everything is cut to the bone in a new car that cheap, and that goes well beyond the luxuries you might expect.

China and India have known lenient safety standards that large international companies have in the past talked about leveraging to get the price down for their domestic markets. I very much doubt this car would withstand even a modest collision, and I'd not want my kids in it.

In terms of the markets where these cars sell it's something of a necessary evil to take the risk in something that will crumple on impact in exchange for family transportation (which we did happily in the west 20-30 years ago).

We are also not born with original sin and should not feel guilt for the historic actions of empire and kingdoms where the population had no democratic mandate. History is history good and bad. The obsession about framing history as some sort of unpaid debt towards people dead long ago is ridiculous. If you want to go down that route I expect the Arabs to line up and apologize for the extinguishing the multicultural societies in the Middle East and North Africa, or the mongols for the perpetuated mass murder of Asians, Russians and Europeans .

Ok people did bad things 400 years ago. So what? Don’t repeat history that’s is the only long term lesson to be learned.

Is it same as every morning waking up with mucus in the throat? Kinda thick/hard - sometimes it flings out when I cough it out. Doctors have me had samples tested but there was no infection. So they just write 10 days Allegra (and a month saline water spray 3-4 times a day) and that's it. But it keeps happening. Been happening since last 2 years.

And then almost nothing the whole day except this feeling remains that something's there in the throat but rarely anything comes out - sometimes some semi-mucus (?) (or just spit - white but slightly thicker than spit - comes out)
Just because 90 million is a minority doesn't make 90 million insignificant. This is a difficult problem to solve. Recognizing that first and foremost will bring you down the path of:

1. We need a solution for actual urban populations
2. We also need a solution for the 90 million that don't fall under solution 1
3. and finally, we shouldn't be forcing people to buy specific cars. Not saying EV are bad, just that the market needs to start being more competetive, and automakers need to care more. People tend to follow the crowd, if lawmakers were serious about the environment, automakers would have a harder time continuing selling new cars every year(waste), and even more so non electric vehicles.

I think there will still be a niche market for ICE vehicles for a very long time, but people who are not "car people" would very easily be driving EVs if they were more popular. Most won't notice the difference.
I’m a twice a day person. When I was in Germany I told my host that I would be showering twice a day and she was aghast — she said that it was unhealthy for the skin and that there was a cost to the environment in terms of water usage and chemicals down the drain.

I hear that, but to me showering goes beyond cleanliness. I do it for the mental health benefits. It’s my time to unplug from the stresses of the day, to think quietly to myself (bathroom ideas are a real thing), and to feel squeaky clean before the day starts and before I go to bed (the mental health benefits of a good nights sleep is significant).

Showering is as psychological as it is physical.

I once went on a camping trip where I couldn’t shower for 3 days. My body felt like it was overheating and I was irritable the whole time.
> Do we want 100 year old buildings? I don't think we can predict the needs of building even 20 years into the future.

My parents live in a house that was originally built in the 1890s. It first had a fire place and wood stove for eating/cooking (surmised via chimneys), then it had gas lighting (some pipe are still in the walls), then it knob-and-tube lighting, then modern electrical lighting and cooking.

Walls were replaced, insulation added, etc. Lots of internal changes.

But the foundations and external brick is original (AFAICT).

Buildings are just boxes for people which keep the cold/heat/moisture at a comfortable level. As long as the "bones" of the buildings are good seismically, the "skin" has proper environmental control, then you can shuffle the inside around without too many issues.

Design/build things with minimal internal load-bearing walls and things can be shuffled fairly easily. Perhaps also use trusses instead of rafters as well for easier running of piping/wire.

This seems like a neat idea.

My team were recently discussing ways of getting each of us to run the standups each morning, we originally agreed to volunteer but only 2 of us do that.

We suggested the idea of a tool to pick for us but I don't think this tool will help. It requires the teammate to volunteer the information of when they last did x. As common as they do, our stand up will remain mic muted when someone asks these questions, until someone asks "can you still hear me?".

I can imagine this working in small group projects though, with strangers so it also acts as an icebreaker as well, but I still think it needs that extremely friendly member to nudge everyone to answer
