>The tax situation can't get much worse, it's almost mathematically impossible to pay all these pensions, it can only get better from here.

What? The tax increases are just starting. This year, Illinois is voting to change from a flat % income tax to having marginal rates. Anyone earning any decent amount of money should expect to pay more and more every year in income tax, property tax, sales taxes, tolls, fees for car registration, basically anything that can help increase tax revenue since expenses aren't going anywhere but up also for the next couple decades. Unless benefit recipients die earlier than expected.
And that intent only shows that authors like to write code and contribute to such a tool. You really can't show much more from the act itself.

For example I authored and maintain megatools, a tool to download/upload from mega.nz that many people probably use to download the same kind of content that's being the issue with youtube-dl. I have no way of knowing.

I haven't used megatools myself in about 4 years, aside from quick testing prior to release/update. And I never really used mega.nz that much even before. I just wanted to learn a bit about cryptography, and return back to C programming after a few years of just doing PHP/JS, and writing a first mega.nz third-party client was an interesting opportunity at the time. Yet the tool is somewhat popular, and distributed as one of mega clients in various Linux distros.

It's ridiculous to assume intent from some test cases. The only intent I can extrapolate from the actions of authors is that they like to code, fix bugs in other people's code, and want to ease their maintenance burden by having tests. The rest is just speculation.
It occurs to me that a bubble is sort of unique, it's not just being high in the distribution. A bubble is where some odd factor causes a massive inflation in an asset that will eventually drop precipitously when there's a correction. What we see with this ratio though is almost the oppsoite. You've just got a fairly reasonable distribution of "bubble risk", it's not like a handful of cities are way out of whack. It's more like there's a sliding scale and naturally some cities are further along it than others. It sort of makes sense that real estate is valued higher in the EU where there are fewer alternative investments that can achieve good returns.

Also, I don't really know what the point of having these individual ratings. Surely this is a highly correlated issue? If Frankfurt's prices collapse would you expect Paris to face issues?
Good point regarding population density.

I don't see the case for calling the GP disingenuous though.
New Zealand gets almost everything first. It's the ideal test market for FB to trial new features that mimic's it's primary revenue generating users in the USA and EMEA.
I have an idea for a revolutionary blogging platform, would you like to hear?

It's kind of like facebook for wordpress with a twist.

We're looking to raise $378M to have sufficient runway.
Even still, my Bayesian priors suggest that techies get worse than chance results on second-guessing them.
I agree improvements are good in generql, but logos are (in my experience) special. They can be a massive timesink, for big projects you have to get lawyers involved, and the arguments can suck up all the energy for months. Its also not something anyone can ignore, as once a logo is chosen you are stuck with it, generally.

If they are also rejecting good quality code, that's a whole other issue.
Facebook isn't designed to look good or even be usable. It's designed to make money.

I have some faith that Facebook's redesign isn't losing them a ton of money, or they would've reverted it. It's probably increasing the KPIs they're trying to target.
Shellac ought to be fine. Alcohol isn't going to cause problems for any of the components when you remove it, but lacquer thinner seems like it could.
You can also refer to these as "external economies of scale". DC and politics/government seems like a clear pick. High Point, NC used to be one for furniture. [1]

Wasn't Michigan one for the automotive industry? I don't know that for sure, though.

Thank you for pointing that out. Indeed, after an hour, this divisive, agenda-pushing article has rightly been flagged. As was my submission on the genocide of Greeks by the Ottoman empire [1,2] (but not enough to get the [flagged] marker).

When it comes to articles about atrocities, HN only allows those that are posted in a spirit of reconciliation and healing, such as this recent article about the 1921 Tulsa massacre, where no-one questioned the motives behind posting it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24876120

If you find any inaccuracies in this, or any other, right-wing talking-point submission, I encourage you to point them out. I tried to stick to reliable sources, but we all make mistakes.

How well has that worked?
I don't think AA was ever legitimately meant to find people in that way and was just a more traditional advertisement/propaganda tool meant to feed anyone into the recruiting pipeline.
Cons: Not searchable, not interconnected, following references is very slow

Pros: There seems to be something inherently meaningful (read: brain lights up, it’s got sensory depth and intellectual weight) about doing tactile pen/paper notes since many people report better engagement and higher retention when doing pen/paper (myself included)
Things are already broken man.

If they get much more broken there's going to be riots in the places rich white people live.

Now that I think about your idea more, I agree. Destroy the entire social safety net, bring in 20-50 million refugees and hope America survives the civil war.
Oooh I didn't expect a tu quoque as the first comment.
This idea that the "Media" is this sinister entity trying to stop the spread of good news during a pandemic which the entire world has taken drastic steps to curtail yet which has still killed over 1.1 million people is just so silly.
To answer your second question first:

Stuff being in the way will of course diminish the signal (by direct absorption or by scattering it). But space is pretty empty. The regular air on Earth contains ~10^19 particles per cm³, and it can take several km of air to start seriously interfering with light. A dense portion of space contains something like 10^4 particles per cm³, and a less dense region maybe 10^-4 particles per cm³. So, once you leave the atmosphere, the noise that's destroying the signal is simply far, far, far weaker than the signal.

Now for your first question. As I mentioned in my first comment, the spectral lines arise from different orbitals. What this means is that there isn't a single line associated with a molecule, but actually several lines. So if you think you see a line from one molecule, you should be able to find the other associated lines, and the more of the lines you can find, the stronger the evidence.

As a couple of people have noted, this isn't a perfect process, so you can get into arguments if your identification is actually correct or not.
Not sure what you mean by "managed platform". Java being written in C doesn't mean you need to know C to run Java. You hardly deal with any native code at all unless you write your own JNI interface or do some obscure tuning, which is pretty rare.
The idea that we must have an entity of superior wisdom to determine who aught to talk to the masses is timeless and a recurring theme that get reinvented once every a few decades. The reason why it always get repelled in the end is that while there is always benefits from eliminating the wrong information, the entity with superior wisdom to artfully determine what is wrong and what is right is fiction.
Yep, I can safely say I've never heard of any of these people in relation to COVID. It's uplifting to know there are medical professionals all across the US who're working on this — and some who have been for years!
One thing I love about new Facebook is the accessibility. As a blind user, old FB was close to unusable, the consensus in the community was to use mbasic.facebook.com, which lacked a lot of features and was designed for (keyboard based) feature phones.

The new FB works much, much better, and I personally switched to it a long time ago.
That blog design is sure a lot of fun. Reminds me of the old blog "As the Apple Turns".
I have dabbled only a bit with Julia, but I have used Python extensively, including for deep learning and for more classic machine learning applications, and my conclusion is that Julia is a superior alternative to Python in all ways except one: ecosystem.

At present, the Python ecosystem -- packages, frameworks, open-source repositories, tutorials, online discussions, communities, documentations, etc. -- is a significant advantage in favor of Python.
Yes, this is called "parse error recovery" and there are multiple techniques for this. In fact, most of the production parsers support this mode. E.g. when you try executing a C++ or Java file, it shows you all the errors at once instead of failing on first parse error. The way it's achieved is by constructing a "dummy" AST node (caught up to some delimiter, e.g. semicolon in statements) and continue the parsing process as there would be no any error.
I feel like this line from your link to Bunnie Huang's blog is apropos to many of the conflicts of our time:

> Like the parable of the frog in the well, their creativity has been confined to a small patch, not realizing how big and blue the sky could be if they could step outside that well.

That was posted in 2016; does anyone know what happened with that lawsuit?
As someone who gets these notifications, and who never uses Twitter, I'm pretty sure this is not the case.
I'm not the author of the comment you're replyin to, but doesn't that fall under the worse ergonomics argument?
I do plan on moving the IDW Podcast list to under my own personal blog node instead, and not directly on the portal, only because politics should be kept separate from career stuff imo.
Honestly, I'd prefer we, as a society, did tend more in this direction. Where I live (Scotland), most of the country is owned by a small number of families, who inherited it themselves. I'd be happy with a model where this land was, possibly over generations, taken away and redisturbed in some way.
We don’t have any 500 year olds to look to. If we did, we might find that humans who have lived healthfully and richly for centuries, raised many children, participated in my adventures and pursued many ambitions, might look nothing like the cached expectation of a 100 year old elderly decrepit person, or a 70 year old cantankerous political reactionary. Then again, they might; we just don’t know. I would rather find out, rather than continuing to bury potential wise old elves in the ground because we find the elderly tiresome and unsightly and subconsciously want them permanently out of sight.
TBF, half of the supposed footguns are people not understanding the difference between a command shell and a scripting language and trying to write code as if they were using the latter[1], and the other half are defects of specific shell languages rather than shell programming in general[0], but the lack of a decent implementation kind of hamstrings the latter defence.

0: There is no reason why a shell couldn't fix bugs like:

$ echo "$X"
*
$ echo $X
foo.txt bar.mp4

it's just that none of the common ones do.

1: especially the incessant stupidity about adding type information to pipes, as if grep were a function rather than the arbitrary binary file /bin/grep

Once they start hooking them up to conversational language models that can also submit queries, I think it is going to get a lot better. The conversational model results are starting to look very good.
Wow! Talk about Grand Delusions!. Facebook has over a 2 Billion users. You can bet they can find far superior designers than you in that sliver of A/B test population.
Because none of them are an improvement over a shell.

Maybe if there were a better way to pronounce "open paren" and "make-vector" we could just yell scheme at the nearest computer.

IMO you're never going to get anywhere trying to make shells speak natural language. Even if you crammed a person into the box there's just way too much you could ask to narrow it down without something formal. At the end of the day you'll have to have something that looks like sh or any other formal language.
ZH is still trying to disprove the Russian links to various novichok poisonings. They don't seem to realise that the rest of the world has kind of forgotten about it.

It's definitely got some Russian backing, but there are occasionally some quite good finance-related articles on it too. Just avoid the comment section!
> This I don't understand at all because for me the second button from the right in the top bar literally is the notification button.

Sure, but it's not one of the main, prominent buttons. It looks the same as "search" and "menu", IIRC. I definitely keep getting confused by it every time and click groups, which is useless to me.

I hate the new design, and not just because it's different.
I'm dictating this. Not going to make any corrections, so that you caan see what the state-of-the-art is right now, including bugging us (that supposed to be bugging this. Apparently it doesn't recognize that word it's the quality of being buggy).speech is my primary interface my computer due to health issues, and my God is it infuriating.it's never going to really take off until it just works.

imagine if your keyboard had about a 2nd latency and every couple words got messed up in some way. Not only that, but those same words that got messed up are probably getting be messed up again when you try to go back and fix it with the same broken keyboard. you wouldn't say that typing is nearly solved, you'd say that typing absolutely sucks and keyboards just don't work.

I firmly believe that speech is going to be the main interface-actually want to scratch that last sentence, but correcting it is can the pain with voice. I firmly believe that speech is going to be a game changer of an interface, especially for coding, eventually. But until it stops sucking, it's only can be used where where there is no other choice.

(By the way, this is me, a native English speaker with a standard salmon Cisco accent-that's a standard San Francisco accent- dictating it on a many hundred dollar microphone into a many hundred dollar speech engine, speaking relatively slowly and enunciating the hell out of out of things.when I first started with that, it was even worse. and yet somehow a lot of people treat speech recognition as if it is in some way solved, or the error rate is better than human.or loader ship-that's supposedd to be what a load of ship-whatever you see what I mean)

-----

(edit: After the fact, I decided to calculate the word error rate dictating thhis. About 7%. If you ignore the non-speech-related bugs, it's about 4%, which is supposedly "superhuman." take that as you will. my take is that "human level" is not the same as a human trying to work as fast as they can, and maybe not paying particularly close attention. And that 4% is ridiculously far from 0% in terms of usability)
There is much more context to the "personal bias" statement than what is provided in the thread.

But 100% agreed, it's essential to stay critical before making your mind on a given thing.

Looks like that product is in private beta. It'll be interesting to compare and contrast it with Cloudflare Workers. In any case, I'm glad there's going to be some competition in that space.

I really find Kialo to be awesome for focusing the random arguments that see:to happen so much online. There are basically zero duplications in arguments since there’s a spot specifically for each one.

There are some things I would change, but I’m happy about the time and effort I’ve put in to the discussions there.
> HR found out that the candidate had lied about (inflated) their previous salary. Lying during hiring is a mandatory "no" by company policy; bye-bye candidate.

What if he simply priced unexercised options or ESPP? Company car?

That doesn't sound very professional from the HR rep. And that reflects poorly on the company.
It is really distressing to see how many of the videos in my, admittedly quite large, favourites list are gone by now. Even ones that I only added in the past few weeks. Either simply "Deleted", "Private" or "Removed/Blocked by the copyright holder". In most cases I have trouble even finding out what the title of the video even was.
Does anyone know why challenge trials haven’t been done? They should be much faster, right?
CoJCoLDS (Mormon) belief is very sci-fi.

A progenitor being, first intelligence reaching 'Godhood,' uses the material universe it has come to mastery over to clothe intelligences (those being outside of time and our usual matter) with material bodies and imbue those passing a filter function with more power like unto itself, while those not passing the filter get life without the power.

The cosmology is very succinct and was presented by Joseph Smith at a funeral, the sermon has been come to be known as the King Follet Discourse[0].

Smith also preached against the idea of 'ex-nihilo'- creation from nothing. Instead he posited that the universe is material and God is not outside of it:

"Now, the word create does not mean to create out of nothing; it means to organize; the same as a man would organize materials and build a ship. Hence, we infer that God had materials to organize the world out of chaos-chaotic matter, which is element. Element had an existence from the time [God] had. The pure principles of element are principles which can never be destroyed; they may be organized and reorganized, but not destroyed. They had no beginning and can have no end"[1]

Mormonism is the rare religion where there isn't anything incompatible with religiosity and science. Other than the whole no physical proof/requiring faith thing, of course- but the theology itself fits fine within a scientific cosmology.

I still use old reddit, but if I'm logged out or somehow come across the new version, I just close the tab. It's just terrible, and I'll stop using the site when the old version is gone.

Is it? OR is it the prudent thing to do to temporarily make it unavailable. Then take a second to look at things, then bring it back again if that the action deemed appropriate? If doing nothing leaves the vulnerable while doing something that gets reversed gives them ammo to go after the accuser, then it seems the lesser of 2 evils to me
Algorithmic timelines have objective advantages: they can keep the most frequent posters from drowning everyone else.

That's of course not to say they aren't maliciously misused.
You need to actively curate your subreddits to get the best experience. When there is a disparity between your subreddits (in number of posts or their flashiness), few subreddits will flood your whole feed with useless junk. E.g. I have subscribed to EarthPorn (I like nice pictures of Earth naturally), and suddenly 50% of my feed becomes panoramas. That is nice to look at for a moment, but it is really bad for your reading. But if you are able to find few relevant subreddits that do not have that many users, it can be actually really great for discovering interesting stuff. You just need to be really aggressive with how you curate your subscriptions.
> Problem with paper is that it's not searchable, as I discovered to my cost trying to find some specific reference details for a job I did last year and am repeating today.

Our brain works wonders, yet mysteriously.
I can somehow locate notes I wrote by hand on notebooks years ago. I remember the sketches, the color and size of the notebook, the location on the shelves ... and sometimes, finding the note isn’t important because I have actually memorized it.

It could a visual memory thing, reinforced by 20+ years of pen and paper school system. Were I 20 years younger and having been taught on tablets/xxx, I could have developed a different long term memory system. As of today, writing down notes on my computer feels like offloading my brain to disk. When writing notes of paper/iPad, it feels like writing to my brain.
Properitary = custom...it just means that it's particular to a single chip manufacturer. They have set aside opcode space for doing just that. RISC-V can't forecast everything someone will want to do with a RISC-V chip. Instead, they promise not to use those opcodes so that it won't conflict with a chip manufacturer's "custom" instructions.

Here's a post from SiFive talking specifically about DSAs in RISC-V: https://www.sifive.com/blog/part-1-fast-access-to-accelerato...

In terms of virtualization, most of the extensions can be emulated. This happens a lot with the hodgepodge of extensions laid on Intel/AMD, such as SSE, SSSE, AVX, and so forth. Just because the underlying physical machine doesn't necessarily support it doesn't mean that the guest can't. At the operating system level, the OS can read the misa (Machine ISA) register to see which extensions are supported, and emulate those which are not. I don't think RISC-V solves the issues that virtualizing Intel/AMD also suffer--and I don't think that's really their goal.

In terms of the host, if there is an extension that cannot be emulated, then yes, I would think you'd need the physical machine to be able to support it.
Conclusion: "The provision of chocolate cookies had a significant effect on course evaluation. These findings question the validity of SETs and their use in making widespread decisions within a faculty."

I disagree with this conclusion and note that the cookies were provided during the course, not during the evaluation.

It seems obvious to me (and should be to anyone who has been in a class) that a course with cookies is a better experience that may indeed result in more knowledge transfer. So this would validate the SET.
