> What do you think brought on the scourge of ISIS? US policies.

What US policies, exactly?

TIL ISIS was founded in 1999: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_State_of_Iraq_and_the_...:

> ISIL was founded by the Jordanian jihadist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi under the name Jama'at al-Tawhid wal-Jihad in 1999 and gained global prominence in early 2014 when it drove Iraqi government forces out of key cities in its Western Iraq offensive,[103] followed by its capture of Mosul[104] and the Sinjar massacre.

Apparently its founding purpose was actually to overthrow the Jordanian government for being insufficiently Islamic:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jama%27at_al-Tawhid_wal-Jihad#...:

> Al-Zarqawi started JTJ with the intention of overthrowing the 'apostate' Kingdom of Jordan,[1] which he considered to be un-Islamic. After toppling Jordan's monarchy, presumably he would turn to the rest of the Levant.[1]

> For these purposes he developed numerous contacts and affiliates in several countries. His network may have been involved in the late 1999 plot to bomb the Millennium celebrations in the United States and Jordan.[12]
I think this varies a lot from person to person - I love being up to date and knowing what's going on in the world keeps me 'calm', just to give perspective.

As an art piece, this certainly keeps itself in the background and never tries to get your attention, instead just catches your eye, which might fit the 'calm technology' paradigm a bit better.
You don't have to call it a conspiracy to see that things are broken.

The defense of broken things that "they could be even more broken" somehow isn't working.

Also, the Internet seems to have made a lot of people more thin skinned, and angry at thought provoking statements.
(Did Cerf, Kleinrock et al. foresee they were laying the ground work for a reactive "venting" machine?)

The real question for hn (IMO) is whether these are problems that can be solved with technology.
I'm no expert in this, but I'd assume this works the same way as any other market for used items: those who will resell your item will pay a lot less for it so there's margin for them to make a profit.

It is important to know that many composers of music (film, television, and video games) don't do work-for-hire arrangements, they license their work to the producer, developer, or publisher. That license does NOT extended to the end user.

A stream playing existing music, including video game music, will need the following licenses: master, mechanical, synchronization, and public performance. On rare occasions a print license will be needed. There is no obligation for copyright owners to grant a master, synchronization, or print license and the rate isn't fixed, it is negotiated for each use as are terms and conditions.

Twitch has stated they have public performance licenses for content. In the United Sates, these licenses are obtained from ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC.

The master license is for an existing audio recording that someone else made, including samples.

The mechanical license is for audio distribution, whether it be physical or digital. Fees are $0.091 for songs five minutes or less and $0.0175 per minute or fraction thereof for songs over five minutes. This rate is set by the Copyright Royalty Board, part of the Library of Congress, for United States territories only.

The synchronization license is for video distribution.

The print license is for printing song lyrics or musical notes.
Circular logic. because we have a less secure way to vote. We should make all methods less secure.

Google Photos Is Killing One of Its Best Features Starting on June First, 2021
I get a lot of that on mobile advertising on my phone (Android). It causes jittery behavior trying to just scroll... usually open in brave and it works a little better (opinions on brave itself aside, it just happens to work better for me than other adblock options).
1. Officers of public companies have to run all stock sales by the General Counsel

2. Often the stock sales automatically happen based on milestones (e.g. increases).
I think the bar should be what it is. When published content could result in a credible threat to someone's safety or life then there's an issue.

In Bannon's case while he didn't directly call for beheading Fauci his comments certainly rose to the level of "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

Lauding Tudor England and the King's ability to call for the beheading of anyone who crosses him (which should be anathema to any patriotic American), basically says the above. And according to history Thomas Becket was murdered by four knights who crossed the English channel to rid the King of his meddlesome priest.

As far as monetising fear and anxiety, individuals have been doing that for years whether fire & brimstone preachers or the Alex Jones of the world who have a product to help you avoid some conspiracy he's promoted.
You have incorrectly interpreted what I meant by "racist regime". I'm not talking about India or Egypt. I'm talking about Texas and Mississippi.
You are right. However, they do have the car's entire superstructure to work with.
Realistically, the kWh is used to determine cost of ownership by most people, not environmental impact.

230~ USD a year to run a 600 dollar product versus the initial cost of a 2300 dollar display with little to no electricity overhead -- and both have similar rates of failure with regard to non-display components.. AND that's disregarding 'Samsung Vs. Small-Company-From-Slovenia' being a factor in the purchase.

I understand eink is unique, but that characteristic has to be sold to people as a trait that is worth the difference..

That's a hard sell, if compared directly to one another.

(p.s. backlit displays are tacky, but my house is covered in them. I love it. I'm a tacky kind of person, though.)
We shouldn't allow voting by mail either. Absentee voting with a notary public witness signature is fine by voting by mail is ripe for abuse.

And there are other problems that I rarely hear people mention when they do the comparison.

So wind and solar are intermittent so you have to factor the cost of a stand by power supply (which you need to pay for whether you use it or not), or power storage (which we can't do at scale).

You also rarely hit peak capacity with wind (unless you have a reliably strong and steady wind) so you need to over provision by a larger ratio. Nuclear is about 70% utilisation on average, wind about 20%. Similar story with solar.

Nuclear plants tent to have a very long shelf life, wind not so much (to take into account in the cost comparison)

There is a lot of diversification in the demand, not all machines of a country are switched on at the same time, in fact a small fraction of the machines are consuming electricity at a given time. When you adopt a centralised grid with large sources of power, you benefit from this diversification. When you produce the electricity locally, you need to size it for the max local demand, and you need to do that everywhere. That means you end up installing a lot more capacity than you would need with a centralised network.

And the grid in most developped countries is already designed for a centralised supply, so if you switch to a completely different approach you need to invest in your grid.

It's not enough to compare the cost per W produced.
Universal Basic Dorms
Is there such thing as good/bad without consideration of the living beings on earth? It's life on the planet that matters, not the planet itself. "Good thing for the planet." How so?

It seems unlikely to me that the results of climate change will be so dramatic as to kill 80% of all humans, unless climate change sparks some sort of global war involving nuclear weapons. That doesn't sound very good for the planet.
What does "agreed as a species" mean? I was not consulted.

Any time I talk about how society should act to stop anthropogenic climate change, I am not pretending to think the things I'm professing that I think.

There are a couple of screenshots at:

What I see there does not look promising. The results all look like desktop applications running on a tablet -- not mobile applications. Many of the controls (like scrollbars, grid views, and drop-down menus) are likely to be unusable in a touch interface because they are far too small to interact with reliably.

Not really. It's very simple to prevent abuse in these elections, because the registrar of voters ... registers ... voters ... hence the name. You don't just mail your preference to the election board on a post card.

They also perform risk-limiting audits. Every state does them.
Did all three (phd -> google -> startup). Couple of misnomers you might want to clear up:

* depending on your area, a PhD may not touch much "technology", if any at all. There will be a lot of writing, a lot of reading, a lot of math, and a lot of hard conference/journal rejections that you put 6+ months into apiece. And that's if you can land a fully funded position. You will have to teach, and skimp on niceties and luxuries, and "just barely get by" on a stipend. If you're not deeply motivated by the learning and willing to endure a monk-like existence, do not take this path.

* if you have a Google offer, especially as an intern conversion, TAKE IT. You will have access to the true cutting edge in technology (certainly way more than 99.9% of academic labs). You will learn rigor, elegance in code, how to critique and take criticism, and how to build truly scalable systems. It is very much like an "industry PhD"...it will change the way you think.

* you will still be "young" after a few years at Google, but you will be immensely more technically mature. If you do a startup now and burn out in 2-3 years, that Google interview will be immensely more daunting, and you might not be able to swing it. You'll also have a couple of years of RSUs saved up to tide you through the rough startup moments.

TL;DR--Google.
Why did you include the word "fraud" at all? You haven't yet supported it with evidence.

How you hold yourself out to others matters.

People disrespecting your relationship with your partner because they don't believe its serious is a source of low level obnoxiousness.

Even with a signed power of attorney, it's the norm the medical people will ignore the input of a non-married partner. Yes, you can fight them at the level of bureaucracy and eventually win, but in critical moments you'll be ignored.

Your relationship doesn't need bot be registered but there can be many advantages of doing so, both formal (estate/inheritance/tax/liability) and informal (respect).

If a threat of violence really is specific and credible, clearly the FBI should get involved, and the person responsible should get arrested.

There are some interesting experiments in the Smalltalk world right now with a kind of "gradual" typing. Because Smalltalk uses and image and VM, as you use the system you can see what "kinds" of objects are passed with specific messages. The system then builds up a knowledge base about what works and what doesn't, and you can make use of that.

It's pretty cool!

Sorry, but some things simply shouldn't have technology applied to them at this level. If author is so worried about trying to "automate" away parenting duties, I think they should take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror and seriously reconsider their approach to parenting.

There's no amount of RaspberryPi or Tensorflow to justify reducing parenting time so you can do more RaspberryPi or Tensorflow-ing.

Not sure what would be considered premium, but Joplin supports KaTeX. The surprising thing about Joplin was just how much I would really love the Joplin Web Clipper browser extension. I can clip screenshots and web pages and they insert right into Joplin.

Beyond that, I use Syncthing (highly recommend if you're on Android) and I sync my Joplin notes between my PC, laptop, and Android. It works flawlessly.
I do love Notion, I think it's a great tool - but it almost does _too_ much.

I spent ages trying to build out a To Do list, added different views, filters, an inbox for it, categories etc. then ended up giving up and just using their out of the box kanban style board in exactly the same way I'd use Trello.

I suppose it's on me, the user, to learn how to use all these different features properly but then that's more investment than I have time for, for a To Do app.

Similarly with say Tasker for example on Android, you can literally automate anything on your phone yet I rarely use it for anything. I don't think I would outright say too many features are a bad thing... but are they?

Overlooked source of Apple M1 performance
I love this idea. I will express the ups and downs of it, and see if I'm missing something.

First, some background: I'm a heavy Django user. Django has settings that are loaded once at runtime and usually they're in version control (they're committed to the repo). That means that, if you want to change a value to a setting, you must commit to the repo and re-deploy. If you're using Kubernetes, this might take several minutes (re build the images, upload to the registry, replicate on all the pods, etc).

That'd be the advantage of this solution. Imagine you have to change a setting IMMEDIATELY (something bad happen). You must:
* commit to the repo and push
* wait for CI (tests, formatting, protocols of PR approvals in a team, etc)
* wait for CD (build image, push to registry, replicate, etc)
It can potentially take several minutes.

Now, the major drawbacks I see with this service are:
* Security: do you guys feel confident/strong enough to store important data of the app? Go so far as hosting secrets for example? (We use the Secret Manager in AWS).
* Latency: in our case we read confs only once when the WSGI server starts. Can you be fast enough?
* Availability: if your site goes down, my app goes down. Can you ensure 99.9999 availability?

Anyways, this is definitively a needed service. It does have its challenges, but you guys are onto something for sure. Congrats!

When I was hospitalized a long time ago we found that my partner was unable to see me and practically unable to act as my proxy (because they wouldn't let her into the hospital beyond the front office), even with a power of attorney (and her being my attorney, too).

Her telling them that she was my husband instantly resolved the problem, no questions asked. It's not like they have any immediate way to check.

State of CSS 2020: Layout Resources Collection
Every single person I've seen that claims that vote-by-mail systems are ripe for abuse seems incapable of describing how one could reliably affect the outcome of an election by abusing it.

Those who try seem completely unaware of even the most basic steps taken by elections officials to prevent exactly these kind of abuse.

It's almost as if the people we tasked with designing these systems weren't completely incompetent, considered how bad actors might try to interfere, and designed these systems with those considerations in mind!

Copy elision is likely boosting Apple M1 performance
A graph whose nodes have for attributes graphs are not an hypergraph.
Hypergraph do not modify the definition of a node, only the definition of an (hyper) edge.

From the best AGI project out there:
A hypergraph is much like a graph, except that the edges, now called “hyperedges” can
contain more than two vertexes. That is, the hyperedge, rather than being an ordered
pair of vertexes, is an ordered list of vertexes.
The metagraph takes the hypergraph
concept one step further: the hyperedge may also contain other hyperedges.

> Early startups are different: There's an opportunity to get a feel for each candidate, and to discuss among the team. And that we should be able to get a sufficient qualitative feel isn't unreasonable: it's just as fair for the candidate to wonder how competent the team they're considering joining, yet we don't let the candidate give us coding tests. And a startup will usually mean less money and prestige, so we're not paying for the right to have interviews be one-sided.

This is why I prefer working for start ups and small orgs the past 8 years and avoid big co's/faang: less of a meat grinder from initial contact to hire and can have a larger impact on product direction while working on the boundaries of an ideas social economic impact. But its hard to find companies like this, and usually the best ones are the most desperate (assuming they can pay any salary [no matter how small relative to the market], not looking at those who cannot or choose not to at all).
> Deutsche Bank placed number one in money laundering.

How does that ad hominem refute or support the claim that remote workers should be taxed to subsidize vulnerable jobs?
Indeed. This government has made it absolutely clear that its Prime Directive is handing public money to cronies and party donors. So this fits perfectly.

And these are not small reactors, and there's nothing "mini" about them. They're comparable in power output to the first generation of UK reactors which operated from the 50s/60s to the 90s/00s.
