I'm largely uninsured.

* I insure my car, because I'm not a good driver - I don't generally drive though, and would prefer to go without, but my wife wants one even though it would be cheaper to Uber everywhere that we actually travel.

* I own an apartment, and building corp levies include insurance on the building (but don't insure contents). This is an insurance I would keep even if it wasn't mandatory; the tail risk is too expensive for me to recover from.

* I have health insurance (in Australia, where the public health system is good) only for tax reasons (it would cost me almost as much _not_ to have insurance). Public health system is sufficient that this would not generally be required.

I should probably insure more (life, income protection, probably home contents, maybe but probably not actually useful health insurance).

I think it's safe to assume that the returned item gets taken out of the box that you ship it back to them in, which is then discarded (along with the taped-on tracking device).
Firefox's architecture at the time was years behind WebKit. People forget how much faster and better Chrome was when it launched in 2008.

Google was able to build Chrome in-house faster and at lower cost than it would have been to rewrite Firefox from scratch under Mozilla governance. They would have had to convince Mozilla to do all of this stuff. https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/index.html
Hard disagree. I think you may be conflating writing and publishing. Just because you’ve written something doesn’t mean that you have to publish that thing.

Writing has far-reaching effects on how you think and communicate. Lots of people believe their thoughts are well organized and that they’re capable of communicating them. But then they sit down to write those thoughts out and they can’t get anywhere.

Writing, as a practice, helps you begin to make sense of all the disjointed ideas in your head. It helps you make connections between things you otherwise may not have noticed. And it helps you improve those ideas and connections because you can review and edit them later.

Think of it like exercising: just because you life weights, doesn’t mean you have to start wearing sleeveless t-shirts.
>I always start my websites with a simple index.html file and run a `python -m http.server`. That is it

I didn't know that was a thing, so thanks for mentioning it - tips like these are one of the main reasons I read hn - and it'll save me hours of now needless file transfers.
Twitch streamers also have very good lighting setups. A ring light at minimum, usually multiple lighting rigs.
> I thought extreme pressures would always result in extreme temperatures.

At least classically, it's the process of compressing that yields the extreme temperatures, not the state of having been compressed. If you maintain the pressure, the hot compressed material will transfer thermal energy to its surroundings until it has cooled back down to room temperature, and it does not require further work to be done on the compressed material to keep it compressed.

I would expect a lot of the CDPr employees to not be actual employees but contractors (forcing people to set up a single-person company, „jednoosobowa działalność gospodarcza”, is a poular practice here) which would put the workers in an even worse situation.
At the same time, while refusing to work overtime may be a bad look at some companies, a lot of others have very strict policies on actually being able to have their overtime even classified as such (because overtime results in either extra pay or holiday time).
Honestly, I don’t believe most of the developers, QAs, etc really want this crunch but they know their careers might be silently ruined if they don’t agree with those higher in the ladder.
Does the article say which website or tool was used to relearn to type, did I miss it? I've got this journey (hopefully not all of it) ahead of me and am looking for ways to aid the transition.
Wild, I had no idea Terrence Tao was an astronomy buff. The concept for the book sounds great.
I can just as well argue that long rambling variable names are unreadable, because they obscure the macro-level structure of the code and the continuous repetition creates extra cognitive load ("is this really the same variable as the other one? It looks like the first three words are the same, but...") especially when one tries to keep track of several of these huge names and follow the dataflow.

Also, left and bottom together refers to a point, not a side; so I would be doubly perplexed upon encountering such a name.
Perhaps we can move all those agricultural activities to another area.

You write because You have shareable information, You feel like your thoughts must be documented/organized. You do it for greater good even though you don't much like/love writing.

Actually by "if you love writing" , i meant writers who are fond of writing stories/other entertainment. It could also mean some writers who love writing tech doc/daily notes.

What I criticizing were writers who write spam,skiddie hack articles, false news,low quality spam,etc. If you don't know about what you are writing,then you are wrong.
Yeah, I mean in the case where you're recapturing the water. Trucking it to use it once is madness, and storage isn't really relevant if you've got a pipeline or a river to draw from.

You're totally right about thermal vs electrical, even with a fuel cell.
Yes, that's #1 the "if myfunc" problem I mentioned here:

It's not just companies, the buying decision factors the resale value in, which in turn is higher for the more boring colors.

In general I feel the Internet had a dampening effect when it comes to lived creativity for a large part of society that does not actively value it this much. My gutfeeling tells me that for every person creating a YouTube Channel, or writing Blogposts, there are ten people that don't choose to do something creatively because they are faced with exhaustive choice and just select everything mostly economically.
Honestly, even a “this a bad idea to use in production” would be an on-topic comment, and as I said the comment in and of itself is not poor it is just misplaced and such a lead could help it transition between the two topics. The primary issue is that the comment is not “don’t use this in production”, it’s just straight up “importing all the dependencies is what’s wrong in software today” which is no longer connected to the post.
It's pretty strange: it seems that the person writing should be quite advanced in physics and mathematics (though I am not able to comment on her actual scientific merit), but it clearly misses very important and well-known facts.

For example, the fact that it is not true that any differential equation has uniqueness of solutions given its boundary conditions (there are very simple example, which are usually covered in any introductory class not more than half an hour after the concept of differential equation has been introduced, see for example https://math.stackexchange.com/a/1319537/59728). In reality, the proof of uniqueness of solutions is usually a very difficult for every new class of equations being introduced, if it is true at all. There is no general result.

Also, it seems to me a completely non trivial point that the physics is actually governed by (a system of) differential equations. The physical laws we currently know are commonly if not always expressed as differential equations, but every physicist is aware that there are a lot of inconsistencies and holes in our current understanding of the universe. Where do we get the assurance that the "ultimate law" is again a differential equation? Maybe we are not finding it just because we expect it to be a differential equation, but it is not, and we first have to revolutionize the way we think physical laws (maybe more or less as we had to do when we realized quantum physics).

In short, it seems a rather naive position.
I agree with you. By writing, i meant "write and publish".

Writing is very good mental exercise. I totally agree.
The Three Dots of JavaScript: Rest and Spread Operator
The starkest example to me of breadth first vs depth first learning are math geniuses. They typically ignore everything except mathematics to begin with and then hyper focus on a specific area of mathematics intensely. The most striking I know of is Peter Schulze who basically never attended an undergraduate class in mathematics and picked up Linear Algebra while he worked out the requirements to understand the Langlands Conjecture. He got awarded his bachelor by doing a 6 hour exam when he entered University.
That's why standards. Partial implementations are always a best attempt at something and having it in a uniform way makes it easier for everyone.

NSF grands are only part of the picture. Knowledge is dispersed among arxive.org papers, pdf textbooks and random blog articles with each of them doing different thing and very often this thing is just slap an image of the formula and go on.
Based on the slides linked in the blogpost, the talk sounds awesome.
Wow, this is quite fascinating - especially in comparison to the story of Robert Williams and the hubble deep field image.

Silicon based live is not inhibited, via a brain derived by millions of years of layered, evolutionary change. Nor is it restricted to modes of thought derived from the same, including a world-view strongly locked into the environment our brains evolved in.

Silicon based life will only be like us, if we somehow manage to lock that into their initial construction. And prevent it from ever escaping.

If/once that is broken, their way of thinking will seem foreign to us, and the concept of them seeking some form of emotional reward, based upon pack-animal mentality is to me, a laughable prospect.
Since Google's delivery platform has been the web for over a decade, it was paramount to protect their revenue.

Consider if the world moved to first party apps (ie, news app, ebay app, amazon app) for _everything_, Google would lose their stranglehold. It's in Google's best interest to make the web be as rich and engaging as mobile apps. Google Chrome increased the expected performance of browsers substantially after it was released.

Their ad delivery network utterly eclipses all other revenue last time I checked.
I'm not really sure what your point is here. And the reason to be pro-nuclear is the vast quantities of environmentally friendly energy. The argument isn't that Fukushima or Chernobyl won't happen again (although they probably won't) - the argument is that after including Fukushima and Chernobyl nuclear power is still, according to the evidence, safer and more environmentally friendly than solar or wind. The damage solar and wind does in terms of habitat damage, waste and effort required is underplayed.

This compares very poorly with a surveillance state, where there is no particular theory that a surveillance state ever does anything good. The nuclear industry base-case positive is 2.5 Petawatts of power a year enabling hundreds of thousands to millions of people to live first world lives. The nuclear industry downside is evacuating Fukushima once every 20 years, no fatalities.

The best-case positive for a surveillance state is people lose any expectation of privacy but a few hundred criminals a year get caught who wouldn't otherwise. The downside is enabling groups like the Chinese to genocide Uighers and effectively suppress resistance, or supressing political resistance in Soviet Russia, or hunting down Jews in Nazi Germany, or all the examples that weren't history-defining catastrophes in various dictatorships. Who knows what sort of damage it will cause in the Five Eyes countries next time a moral hysteria sweeps through the public, but I'd rather not find out.

The issue here isn't the form of the argument, it is the magnitude of the positives and negatives.
Yeah, I think we all agree that blogspam is not fun to wade through. I interpreted your comment as “don’t write unless you love writing and have things you want to share” when I think you really mean or.

Java Long Class
So, the POTUS has caught it, along with many high-profile officers, who are both high-risk group and the group of people who should be protected from deadly virus in a functioning country. And yet the president is having a rally with hundreds of people at White House with no social distancing.

And we are somehow to believe that there's a plan to identify and protect vulnerable population while keeping the rest of the country running normal?

All the talk of "virus or economic doom" is false dichotomy - the truth is that America had a total leadership failure, which cost us both lives and economy, and now that it's everywhere and we aren't even pretending to trace the spread, we're stuck in the trench, and there's no way to get out. We can either stay at home, ruining economy, until vaccines arrive, or we can pretend the virus is gone, reopening, inviting the second wave, thereby killing more people and also ruining economy.

> His body, clad in a tracksuit and sneakers, has been on display for veneration in a sanctuary in the town, and his heart will be displayed in a reliquary in the St. Francis Basilica.

Grew up going to Catholic school but guess I started to forget how bizarre the church is (aside from the nefarious aspects) until I read this article.
Good question. I bought new for the first time recently and found it hard to believe how many people appear to be willing to pay £500+ just for a colour (and one they’ll barely see when using the car). Sure, I have preferences, but not ones I’m willing to put actual money on.
> Holding the hose up high and pulling the trigger does not allow more fuel to drain from the hose after reaching your prepaid amount

Doesn't it though? I feel like I know this because if I don't do it, gas pours out onto the side of my car and/or the ground, when I pull the hose out.
> My philosophy is readability over elegance, but you will find many programmers are unaware of this dichotomy and have a strict subconscious aversion to writing something ugly like "measurementOfLeftBottomSideOfBox."

I strongly believe that naming like "measurementOfLeftBottomSideOfBox" is not that helpful or readable.

A name like that implies that there are measurements for each side of this box, so following that naming scheme we would have at least:

measurementOfLeftBottomSideOfBox
measurementOfRightBottomSideOfBox
measurementOfLeftTopSideOfBox
measurementOfRightTopSideOfBox

Look at how many much useless text we have here. "measurementOf" and "SideOfBox" add nothing but clutter to the naming, and writing out practically the same thing 4 times suggests we could abstract this into a data structure.

I know I'm being overly pedantic in this case, but I think the sentiment behind this type of naming commits a few sins:

1) It's overly verbose. More than 3 words is a warning sign to me.

2) It's specific rather than generic. For instance if I name a function "sortSheepByHoofSize", it implies the reader know what hoofs are, cares about them and knows how to measure them. Whereas when naming it "sortSheep" or perhaps even just "sort", it's immediately understandable on a surface level to practically everyone.

3) Following on from 2), this type of naming lacks context. We should leverage the context of surrounding code and abstractions to make naming understandable, instead of trying to pack all the meaning into one name. Oftentimes there's repeated information in names that could be inferred from context instead.

Imagine that the laws have been written with an extremely narrow 'Switzerland' clause. This law says if something is taken down right away, with zero proof of ownership or collateral, when a specific type of legal request is made then the service provider has immunity to copyright lawsuits.

Due to the lack of burden of proof or stakes, this makes automating such legal requests a weaponization of the legal system. An inordinate quantity of resources are also spent to proactively, based on a provided library of possible infringement fingerprints, automatically mark anything as something to block. For many things the automation actually works out, however any time there is Fair Use (which is viewed as a legal defence) or Authorized Use (except problems of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing) it really doesn't.

Combine this with a system where there's also no government provided system of authenticating an individual as someone, and tying them to specific legally owned works or authorization to act by such owners and it should be obvious where the problems and solutions exist.

Without a megacorp's army of lawyers, my opinion is, it seems very likely youtube and any other similar entities would either be sued or legislated out of existence.
Interesting.

It’s the way financing these days works on brand new cars.

The buyer is paying off the difference between the price at the time of sale and the price at the end of finance term (plus interest on the difference)

The price at the end of the term is due to depreciation. If the buyer opts for a neutral/non-polarising color, then the depreciation is lesser than compared to choosing a different color. This is because it is assumed (mostly correctly) that it will be relatively easier to sell a grey/black car than a bright yellow/red car.

That also results in the non-neutral coloured car costing more to finance over the term.
Well, it's important to focus on the Bets part of Wall Street Bets.

The regulatory corpus is not provided in a single indexed volume neatly arranged by category, it's haphazardly organized, subject to the whims of bureaucrats when interpreted, endlessly cross-referenced, and even inconsistent in places.

One might have one agency in charge of one thing and another one in charge of another, with no rhyme or reason to it. There is no way to find out all the regulations that apply to your specific business unless you 1) consult a very expensive lawyer or 2) read an authoritative, current reference specific to your field of endeavor. 2) is usually not an option if you're doing something uncommon or brand new.

In the end one's best bet as a business owner is consulting an experienced lawyer for everything that you do. They're usually pricy and charge down to the minute. Everything you don't check, is a potential compliance risk. Today some classes of severe violations, for example improperly withholding employee taxes, can even result in the corporate veil being pierced where you as the business owner now become personally liable for your business. And I'm not even getting into things like tech that have no legal certainty whatsoever.

All these legal and compliance costs are deadweight on the economy, they could have been used to invest in better equipment or to pay employees more, instead they are spent on lawyers. Some laws & regs are no doubt necessary, but anything beyond that is a net loss for everyone. The balance always seems to only land one way these days.
Depends, if a country is going after you, they can just print their own ssl certs through a CA they control. But also they can probs get you whenever wherever with some insane TCP stack RCE or some shit, so who cares if ur at a hotel. But also there are still some insecure protocols out there and sites that do not use HSTS. For instance, you can type wf.com in your browser to go to wells fargo, their login page secure.wellsfargo.com uses HSTS and you cannot go there not over SSL. But the main page doesn't. So if you just type wf and do not specify http/https it will still try http first and that can be intercepted and an attacker could change the link to secure.wellsfargo.com to just wellsfargo.com or whatever, and return the login page and phish you. SSL does solve the problem in most cases but sometimes if you're not paying attention you can not notice it's not being used / is being subverted. Also, there have been many MITM vulnerabilities found in various SSL libraries over time. Recently GNUTls had a vuln that let you MITM all connections. Similarly Microsoft with the curveball attack also allowed one to MITM https connections among many other things.
So in your view, because a minor can not vote, he's not a constituent? It's not fair for an elected representative to stand up for him? How about a 17 year old? How about a person who's in prison, and therefore can't vote (in some states)?

For certain policy aspects, such as national security and defense, it absolutely makes sense to actively exclude and ignore the concerns of non-citizens. They are really not 'true constituents'. But for most other things, the person who's considered a constituent is a law-abiding, tax-paying person, not a persona non-grata (that would be the illegal immigrants aka 'undocumented immigrants' whose cause is taken up with gusto by both political parties); it is absolutely the responsibility of the elected representative to pay attention to his concerns.
