Yep, it makes it easier to port the JRE to platforms like Windows that have an entirely different TZ system. Python, for example, has the same problem. Historically, Python took the stance of providing a "naive" datetime module that provides a conversion API, but delegated the actual TZ conversion to external implementations (dateutil, pytz). Only recently (as of 3.9) have they added a stdlib implementation that uses system-level zoneinfo by default.
I think the normal cycle is actually more like 25 hours (what you get if you live in a cave and don't know what time it is outside), but certain impulses throughout the day push it into the 24 hour frame. Things like light, eating, exercise, habit for example.
I'm guessing Ford and GM might have better repair options. I forget who they partnered with. I think Ford and Rivian have a "skateboard" they can use which is self-conatained. I'm guessing that one might not be super repairable, but might not have the same restrictions that Tesla does. I think GM is with Lordstown Motors. Not sure on their implementation.

I think price is the big issue. The batteries and motors are expensive in a variable cost way. Most of the features use relatively inexpensive sensors or components and have low variable cost. So a consumer sees all these features as justifying the high cost. Removing those features probably wont make it much cheaper (unless maybe you're a separate company that doesn't develop/engineer those features at all).
Well, I want it closer to 1 than to 12. It’d be weird for 1 PM to be less directly overhead of a sun than 11:30 AM.

PHP got way better with version six and seven.

I would avoid Jobs maintaining legacy PHP 5 or earlier like the plague.
That's because now HN is mostly FAANG employees. FAANG is naturally opposed to Bitcoin because it's difficult for them to imagine how they would control it. When it rallied to 20000, they only saw it as a threat.

> Limited divisibility of coins. Bitcoin has a limit of 21 million bitcoins, but more importantly, it has a limit of about 2^52 satoshis as the atomic unit. If Bitcoin were to really become Earth’s only payment system, this would provide fewer than a million units per human being. This isn’t nearly enough to capture both day-to-day transactions (even rounded to the equivalent of tenths of a dollar) and also large holdings. It would have been quite cheap to expand this with a few dozen extra bits such that divisibility would never be an issue.

This, and also to me the decimal point is clearly in the wrong place. I Have thought about this and I fail to see what was Satoshi thinking.
Nobody is voluntering to make X releases. That has been the case for almost two years I think. It used to be Red Hat guys doing it, but it's not their priority anymore.

There is a pile of new features that only exist in master with no clear path to users' computers. Notably some big VR enablement thingies commissioned by Valve and written by former X lead Keith Packard. I think freesync too.

I rely on Synergy/Barrier to use my mouse/keyboard between computers. They only support X and I am not aware of any Wayland alternatives.

As a desktop user I am currently stuck in a bad place because Wayland is not ready but the powers that be have moved on from X and don't care anymore.

Maybe Valve could pick up X release duty for a while? That'd be quite more good karma on their part, additionally to all what they've already done.
They don't allow Supercharging in the case where they've had a good close look at the battery:

meaning all warranties are voided and Supercharging is disabled, even after the repaired vehicle passes a high-voltage inspection by Tesla’s own repair staff.
Yeah, which then ends up in incompatible runtimes, no thanks.
What do the chronobiologists say about living outside of a fixed clock schedule, and rising with the sun naturally?

I’ve ask you before, but haven’t heard an answer: why are you convinced by this research that the data is strong enough to support the conclusion? The evidence here seems scant at best to make such strong claims. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24314134) Are you part of SRBR?
An easy problem to solve. Have the app keep the coughs until a test result is obtained then feed it into the model. Intermittently update the model used by the apps, done.
This is silly. Lots of large companies use php for their internal applications. I built a php based backend for one of the largest sellers on amazon, in php. That company is approaching $1B in annual revenue.

Php allowed my team to move amazingly fast and deliver what the business needed very quickly. In e-commerce and dealing with Amazon specificity, rules and methods change monthly and you always have to be able to quickly pivot to remain competitive and I think php was a big factor in allowing this to happen.
Not all social constructs are created equal. Ownership of tangibles is grounded in the scarcity of tangibles. Ownership of intangibles is grounded in a value-laden perspective.
For a column supposedly about a greater theory of how we (should) use the Internet, it sure devotes a lot of space to attempting to vindicate the Hunter Biden laptop story...

I would argue that originalism doesn't really exist in practice in the context of the Supreme Court. Interpreting the constitution is always an active process where the interpreter injects some of themself into the the interpretation. The difference is that those who interpret the Constitution as a "living document" are up-front about this process, while originalists deny that it is happening.

And then I'd argue that this half-baked notion of Internet Originalism isn't really a sensible metaphor. The author argues that the way we use and build the internet should be in line within the framework that the web is a democratizing tool, and I agree with that (simply because I share those values, though I'd debate how much they're truly enshrined in the concept of the internet itself).

But the author seems to care more about not Internet Originalism but...Twitter Originalism. That a private company has to abide by a set of values that it (purportedly) supported at its inception.

> That is why a “living internet” interpretation is so dangerous. These companies are driven by profits and politics, not principle. [...]
> The alternative is “internet originalism” — no censorship. If social media companies returned to their original roles, there would be no slippery slope of political bias or opportunism [...]

Yes—companies are driven my profits (and, to the extent that they're at risk of regulation, politics)! That's, like, their whole thing. Regardless of the potential greater good of these companies returning to their supposed "original roles," they're supposed to be forced to do so even when it means losing money and failing to self-regulate? It seems perfectly reasonable that a company which seeks to provide a mass communication platform might realize that the rules which worked at first need to be adjusted at scale. I don't see that as some massive betrayal.

No doubt there will be (and has been) some over-correction as Twitter navigates how to quell the use of its platform for spreading misinformation and hate speech. They've historically not been great at it, and they'll probably get to an ~ok~ solution eventually. And if they don't? A new private venture can show up to offer something better (as has happened several times).
Picking arbitrary dates is fun and all, but we are bootstrapping a new financial system. Do you see a way to do that without volatility?
Debian has an escape valve from its fundamental spirit-defining policies even for non-free software. And if Debian didn't have that policy wrt non-free, I could easily make a similarly general post as you did listing the very real dangers of shipping blobs, which probably carries more weight than the dangers of vendoring you outline.

So, why can't there be a repo for the all the vendored things, and make a policy for the maintainers there?

By not having that escape valve, the pressure shoots out on the maintainers-- in this example the maintainer's work is made impossible as evidenced by the statements of the previous maintainer that it would take two fulltime devs to package this according to the current policies. So you encourage burnout on your volunteers.

This also encourages passive aggressive software design criticisms. Look at the very first comment here that shifts to talking about the "maturity" of the software under discussion. I'd be willing to bet I'd see similar flip judgments on the list discussion of this-- all of which completely ignore the monstrous build systems of the two browsers that Debian ships. So apparently there's an escape valve for exactly two packages, but no policy to generalize that solution for other packages that are the most complex and therefore most likely to burnout your volunteer packagers.

Keep in mind you are already on maintainer #2 for this package that still does not ship with Debian because shipping it per current policy is too burdensome. Also notice that you've got a previous maintainer on the list-- who already said this is a two-person job at least-- calling out the current maintainer for being lazy. It seems like a pretty lousy culture if the policy guidelines put policy adherence above respect for your volunteer maintainers.
Magento, maybe. But I don't think it haa has the user base to drive numbers significantly.
I’ve owned Windows desktops in the past. I prefer MacOS, but Windows is fine. The reason I use laptops is because I only want to own one computer, and that one computer needs to be portable, not because I’m stuck in an ecosystem.
Does that mean the finite duration of a black hole to an outside observer prior to its evaporation corresponds to an infinite duration of an observer within the black hole?
Composer, Packagist, and PHPUnit are all excellent too.
Does the literature talk about reducing the risk of sharing those verified illnesses with others? For example, if a person has an illness that transmits through coughs, then if they wear a mask and cough, is the chance that people around them get the illness lower?
I often wonder about the impact of a private healthcare system on economic activity too. The truth is, we’ll never really know until there’s some sort of public option.
The title of the article doesn't match the content.

The tile suggests the article will talk about the white paper specifically. It instead talks about what Bitcoin got right/wrong in general.

The white paper says nothing about specific hash functions, signature schemes, scripting systems (not even mentioned at all), currency units, and many other things that ended up being important to Bitcoin.

And one of the things the white paper got wrong was to conflate chain "length" with "strength". The white paper appears to mix the two terms, even though it's clear that chain "length" wouldn't work at all as a security mechanism.

You can see examples right in the abstract:

> The longest chain not only serves as proof of the sequence of events witnessed, but proof that it came from the largest pool of CPU power.

Chain "strength" is the cumulative hash power behind a particular chain, which is not the same as the number of blocks.

The white paper later corrects itself:

> The majority decision is represented by the longest chain, which has the greatest proof-of-work effort invested in it.
This is ridiculous.

> People literally die because vending machines fall on top of them. Every year people die so you can enjoy more chips at lunch. You dismissed these deaths because you like what happens.
I looked at three links here:

I’m trying to imagine the average Briton putting their savings in Bitcoin. Maybe they buy £50 worth on some local exchange every month. Will the money be there in 30 years?

Seems more likely that they’re going to be wiped out before then by either a fraudulent/bankrupt exchange (if they never moved the funds to a Bitcoin address) or by losing the private key (if they did).

This technology is absolutely not where a Sussex nurse should park their hard-earned pennies at this point.

The same monthly payment into globally diversified ETFs is almost guaranteed to be liquid and in gains in 2050. If it’s not, the global collapse has rendered the Bitcoin thesis untenable too.
Sure. But isn't that every company that has every sold a product? I mean, they aren't giving it away.
Thanks. Wish I had a citation handy; I do recall reading a decent one that accounted for that, looking at lifelong habits. (shrug)
I mentioned 10 or 11, because I believe a shift of a couple of hours (by 1 or 2 classes) already brings a tremendous benefit for many students, while having only a small impact on the schools organization and other social activites of students (like late afternoon club activities). So while not ideal, I think the change is actually easily implementable without too many negative consequences.

Personally, I would be even more productive in an afternoon only school. I did work for a while from 1pm to 8pm and I really enjoyed how rested I was, but this schedule definitely limits available club activites.
I naturally go to sleep about 3am and wake up 9am. I tried different hours, but it was unsustainable. I would feel terrible the whole day as it is just to possible for me to fall asleep let's say at 11pm or even 1am. This was a horror for me and actually prompted to start my own business so I could be in charge of when I work. I was only able to find one employer before that, who was happy for me to come to work at 10 or 11. Different employers after a period of time would report that other staff feel that I am getting privileges and they also would want to come "when they please". So that would end up with me quitting. It's a shame that somehow 9-5 is embedded in our culture so strongly if you want to oppose it you are being viewed as if you were saying a blasphemy!
Blub paradox
> We have lots of RCTs on mask wearing (mostly in healthcare professionals) and they struggle to find a benefit.

This is false. If you look around and read actual studies, not demand other people to do it for you and not cherry pick garbage studies, you'll find even real life "experiments" of healthcare workers in the US during COVID-19 not wearing masks with rapidly rising number of COVID-19 cases then mandated to wear masks with subsequent rapid drop of cases.

What you won't find though is studies supporting the assertion that sick person wearing a mask protects others, not the wearer. Those are the studies that show little to no benefit and always did actually. You protect others with a mask by not catching the virus yourself, it's a second order effect.
PHP earned its reputation. Whether the reputation earned by previous versions is relevant to the current version is a different question.

I'm going to assume it's a decent modern language now, but what's the argument for using it instead of another mature dynamic language like Ruby or Python?

The dutch studied this and found that in the real world mask requirements caused no change in social distancing compliance[1].

The Surgeon General said back in March that wearing masks increases the chance of spreading covid because people aren't trained on how to use them correctly and it gives them a false sense of security.

From the summary of your second link... “ There is some evidence to support the wearing of masks or respirators during illness to protect others, and public health emphasis on mask wearing during illness may help to reduce influenza virus transmission.”
I never had audio issues on MS-DOS/Windows, unless we are speaking about the pre-Sound Blaster/AdLib days.

The way to look at it is as a cheap instant filter, something like a bloom filter, that can protect the more expensive tests that take longer.

Your example assumes there's no hierarchy of available tests, and that this test is the only test there is.

What would really happen is those 6 false positives would be referred for a more accurate test. They might miss a day of school but not a week.

At the same time, your more accurate testing pipeline can now speed up thanks to Little's law. There's dramatically less pressure on the system and less backlog, so you have a second order effect that the more expensive slower tests also become cheaper and quicker.

But even if we gloss over all that, and we're only concerned about false positive rate, then this is still much better than no school at all, as in hard lockdown, which has a 100% false positive rate.

Finally, there's the lives saved because of earlier rapid detection and isolation, with corresponding relief for the health care system, leading to increased quality of care and resources available for more severe cases... and so on and so on.

A bloom filter can do wonders for a system, and if this test works it should do the same.
I'm a critical care doc and directly involved with COVID administrative policies for my health system organization. I have recently told friends and family to start buying and wearing medical masks. Our experience is that medical masks are very protective in protecting the wearer from catching the disease. Hospitals have plenty of masks now. A cloth mask prevents spread away from the wearer, but a medical mask protects both the wearer and those around him/her.

Medical masks protect in two ways. One, they filter the air at an extremely high level. Two, they are fluid resistant, so the saliva droplets that are filled with virus particles cannot penetrate the mask.

Most health organizations, including mine, are noticing that COVID prevalence within their employees is less than the local population as a whole despite being around contagious COVID patients all day long. The major difference in these two populations is that health care workers are wearing medical masks.

I meant the plan of "stop emitting carbon, even if it hurts the economy".
I read the same article as you. They did not redefine masks, nor add further criteria. They chose a model that applies to masks of any fiber and weave but with different filtration efficiencies.
The Tesla model is the iPhone model... you pay good money for the device, but it remains in the full control of the manufacturer. As Apple has had more time to demonstrate, this model has advantages and disadvantages. If you don’t want this business model, don’t buy a Tesla.
You can try to guess how many dollars have been printed or how many bars of gold exist.

No-one in their day-to-day usage of dollars (or gold) directly cares how many currency units exist. What they care about - and what is very easy to know, is what the purchasing power of their currency is.
These photos are from 11 years ago, and in the comments from 2009 they're saying how they'd already been neglected for a long time so they may have been rusting for a decade or more even then. I wonder what they look like now.
There is a belief running around that Tesla should act like a charity instead of a business while trying to claw its way up to a volume automaker. Software sales are high margin compared to physical auto sales.

Tesla is free to do whatever is supported by contract law as it relates to software licensing, including stripping licenses off vehicles when transfers (like trade ins) done through Tesla (versus a private transfer).

Disclosure: We own several Teslas.
I am experimenting with it as a replacement for hobby projects that I want to share and collaborate on. I was always leery of Fusion 360 precisely because it was not truly free, and instead encumbered by the whims of Autodesk. If I want to create things that are meant to become part of the creative commons, then my whole creative toolchain should be part of that same commons.

There is a learning curve to it, as the interface and a lot of the paradigms are different than what is typical of other design tools. I've had to humble myself and follow through a lot of video tutorials (Joko Engineering is pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h1ofkRFdeI). I'm then re-modeling some simple projects just to assure myself that I can replicate what I've done before (for example, https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4616582/files). Some aspects of it seem fairly unfriendly initially, but the experience smooths out once you grok the approach. I'm so used to using Solidworks that I kind of forget what it was like to first learn how to use parametric modelers.

This aligns with my anecdotal experience. I started with PHP more than a decade ago and every company I've worked for (very large, large and medium-sized) has migrated away from it or never touched it. I don't see any sort of renaissance but if PHP has gotten really better as I read many times here (didn't bother to fact check as I abandoned it many years ago) then the market will speak. I don't see that happening yet in my experience.
I'm surprised about the relative space. I once toured a Los Angeles-class sub (sorry, no photos) and I never felt I had enough headroom. Seeing all that open space in "workout area" and the "lounge area" and a lot of headroom was very strange.
PPO with moderate deductibles.

And sorry, this wasn’t SF proper, though when I managed a plan for 30+ employees in SF it was about $1500/per. That was high deductible with a roll-over HSA match. The broker was helpful in giving us a decent menu to choose from.
