less than a decade ago I was making almost half as much money per month as I make now and it was totally ok, now I can barely get by on what I'm making, where there may not be inflation of the economy there may still be inflation of our wants - not to say that is the complete reason for the increase of ads, only a contributing factor.
My suggestion would be, to not focus on that stuff right away. I know, this comes from the guy, whos website suffered the HN hug of death, but, look, I could bring it back up within 10 minutes.

My suggestion is, to build it as easy as possible, ideally with AWS or something like that, where you can throw computing power at it in a matter of minutes, when needed.

Build the stuff first, worry about scalability later, when you actually have proven that you need to worry about it. That's the lesson from my first startup anyways. We made the server slick and scalable, but in the end noone cared, because the product didn't meet demand. Don't waste your time on prematurley optimizing. Just my two cents :)
Rules that were unfair. I protest as a consumer as an unnecessary Apple tax to install paid software is an unfair burden that should be illegal.

Did anyone manage to download the SVN from SourceForge?

That's all I get, either using the website's snapshot download or svn export.
I may be misremembering, but from how I understood container shipping works, that is always the case with lost / damaged containers, no matter the size of the event. If only one container falls off the boat, all entities who were shipping things on that boat are required to chip in proportionally to the amount of containers they were shipping, to make the owner of that container whole.

The idea being that otherwise it's not fair to the owners of the top level containers, which have a higher chance of falling off than the bottom level containers. Everyone's share of the boat is equal.

For this reason you always want to take the insurance that is offered against this, just in case that one container contained something worth a few million, and suddenly you're on the hook to pay an amount that is a multiple of what you were shipping in the first place.
Shantaram is incredible, I can only think of the original Dune novels by Frank Herbert as comparable in depth, scope and revelation of what it is to be human.

Shantaram's author claims use of artistic license in names, character descriptions and details, in order to protect those described from repercussions. Reading the extraordinary story and arc, and subsequently learning of the fact that later in real life the author later went on to marry into Czech royalty, it's easy to believe it as a fundamentally true account.
Do containers have long life GPS trackers so we can track them in situations like this?
I was looking for the information, too. But luckily, it wasn't too hard to find: you scrolled to the bottom and in the footer it says "the game" which includes a link to the game website.
Same way you dispose regular garbage, which has same challenges.

I went to the tour of recycling plant, and as part of the tour they told us what happens with Seattle garbage: they excavate a pit, line it up with plastic, put garbage in, cover it with plastic, put soil on top. Without supply of oxygen it basically stays there almost forever. They cut a carrot with was in such pit for 10 years. It was black on the outside, but still orange inside!

Anyway, put trees in such pits, and you have carbon capture!

The whole cultue of Apple is so weird, and kind of appalling. Just the fact that their press conferences are broadcast, and they're held in front of an audience that applaud everything the presenter says, and laughs at his jokes. People "live blog" it, like some bizarre court stenographer. And 1.000 threads are posted on HN about Apple keybords having been made even worse. Again.

It's not healthy.
Actually the retinal anisotropy is a feature distinct from attention. You can fixate on a point in a scene and then attend any other point in the scene. This is indeed how both animal and human attention experiments in the field is setup to control for the eyes movements.

I think in the first world the former is more likely. I personally know someone whose grandma died of entirely unrelated causes and the hospital offered to pay for the funeral if they agreed to report her as a COVID death. Our governments are setting perverse incentives.

Most implementations I have seen do much more than quaternions. How hard did you look?

Here’s an example you can play with in a browser, https://enkimute.github.io/ganja.js/

But what is implemented in computers is not 1:1 with the algebraic tools that can be profitably employed to solve geometry problems symbolically. GA is a rich language full of useful tools which can describe/model many kinds of problems.

Typed Racket is pretty close. I imagine that with some work and Racket's macro and module system that someone could rewrite it to be more ML-like in syntax.

In the Coursera course Programming Languages, I ported some of the first assignments from SML to F# and Typed Racket, and you can see the similarities of type annotations in the very simple examples below.

SML:

(* Helper function. Takes a generic list and an integer n and returns the nth element of the list. *)
fun get_nth_element (xs : 'a list, n : int) =
if n = 1
then hd xs
else get_nth_element(tl xs, n-1)

(* Takes a list of strings and an integer n and returns the nth element of the list. *)
fun get_nth (strings : string list, n : int) = get_nth_element(strings,n)

F#:

/// Helper function. Takes a generic list and an integer n and returns the nth element of the list.
let rec getNthElement (xs : 'a list, n : int) =
if n = 1
then List.head xs
else getNthElement(List.tail xs, n-1)

/// Takes a list of strings and an integer n and returns the nth element of the list.
let getNth (strings : string list, n : int) = getNthElement(strings,n)

Racket:

#lang typed/racket

;; Helper function. Takes a generic list and an integer n and returns the nth element of the list.
(: get-nth-element (All (T) (Listof T) Integer -> T))
(define (get-nth-element xs n)
(if (equal? n 1)
(first xs)
(get-nth-element (rest xs) (- n 1))))

;; Takes a list of strings and an integer n and returns the nth element of the list.
(: get-nth ((Listof String) Integer -> String))
(define (get-nth strings n) (get-nth-element strings n))

This is not ready for anything yet i think. It's still in the research phase. Why? I want to support any language, even code, without configuration. LZ is used as a way to stem and tokenize because it finds repeat factors, which we assume are useful. So far, i feel the hypothesis that this works is supported, and I'm working to get both recall and precision between .7 to .8, currently they are at, 0.65 both after a lot of work.

Three way i evaluate it is not perfect, but i feel it's an approximation that's useful enough.

My ultimate use case is to bolt it in to my web archiving project 22120, to give people everywhere the full text search they've been asking for.

I think i can make it good enough. I think if you come expecting some amazing results, you will probably be disappointed. But i like the ones and think it's clever to use LZ as a language agnostic way to get tokens to index on.

Apart from that, everything else is at a very basic level, and there is no support for any type of sophisticated queries right now, such as, Boolean, exact phrase, facet and so on, but some of these should be possible.

I've done half a blog post draft about this, and one final thing is, the most interesting part of this so far for me had been thinking about how to do snippets to show in search results efficiently.
You're ignoring the fact that this is despite huge restrictions around the world to limit its spread, if approached the same way as TB it would do insanely more harm.
Why not go for an artificial one, then?! They look just the same, and will last many years, without annual waste and cost, and are less of a fire hazard.
Let's suppose you're between 20-30 years old, no health issues, and you see your parents/grandparents once a year, or never. You actually think you're a responsible person and if you ever got a temperature or whatever you'd stay home.

I think it would be arguably reasonable for someone like this to socialise right now. The risk is lower than the flu of any complications. The only reason you are being locked down right now is because we have decided governments need to enforce lockdowns on everyone, rather than individuals deciding what's responsible.

I don't think you need to be super crazy, or a covid denier, in the case above, to carry on living your normal life.
My father owns a bookstore and would use surface M-bags, while they existed, to ship things to customers overseas (with their permission). I believe he never had a problem with significant damage to the contents.

It’s a simple game of competition. If your competitors have them, then you must have them too. The situation is not dissimilar to nuclear weapons.

In 2020, people seem to forget that the Cold War happened and that the KGB, GRU, etc. existed. Most of these outrageous CIA actions were done in the context of combating the Soviets.

In short, you will probably never be able to remove the role of intelligence from geopolitics.

Well arguably it does cost some time yet is utterly pointless on an ISA card (unless your traces are 40 meters long I guess) there's plenty of pedantic things you could waste time on designing an ISA card
The best current estimate of the IFR of Covid is something like 0.5% with good medical care, or much higher without. If populations take no action whatsoever to curb spread, somewhere between 1/3 and 2/3 of people will likely be infected. If we multiply that by the population of the world, we get something on the order of 15–50 million people dead. Not as bad as the 1918 flu, but worse than any pandemic since, roughly comparable to the entire death toll of AIDS over the past 40 years.

Thankfully all around the world people have taken significant steps to slow the virus down, and so hopefully the vaccine will arrive in time to save tens of millions.

I am happy to agree with you that humanity could do a whole lot more to prevent deaths from infectious diseases, including tuberculosis.

This has also been my experience. I know people with whom I just avoid talking about Apple. Personally I just accept that Apple is their religion (some of them have Apple bumper stickers) and that religion is something deeply personal.
hard to say. looking at me and my friends - we've got more time to socialize, plenty of friends, yet people drink less, and definitely use less tobacco(it's really unsexy to smoke cigarettes now, and vaping in public is just embarrassing), because we're more health focused. I have to admit I'm a regular user of psychedelics. drugs are decriminalized where I'm from. unless there will be long term consequences, i don't think it impacted me in any bad way, frankly the opposite, albeit "wasting" some time with friends.
I guess your tow truck drivers are more respectable than ours that cloned police’s pricey “encrypted” radios to get to accidents faster, charged insurecos hundreds for the tow, would add damage to cars and bring them to sketchy repair shops:

https://nationalpost.com/news/toronto-cop-part-of-organized-...

For some reason, health care expenses related to motor vehicle accidents are paid by the at-fault’s insurer instead of the public health system, so there’s lots of fraud there too. And more product for insurers to sell.

Since the at-fault insurer pays, there’s a lot of incentive for fraud for the “victim”. Some call it the auto-lotto.

Because we created lots of arbitrary fault-determination rules so insurers can’t fight eachother to assign fault, it’s not difficult to stage an accident where someone else is at-fault.
> Perhaps it's a contributing factor to the long stagnation of the Italian economy

Perhaps.

But doesn't explain stagnation in Japanese economy where there are no Italian unions.

Or why France did much better despite having even stronger work protections laws than Italy and wilder strikes (the gilet jaunes for example) or those happened last year against the pension reform where the workers of public transportation went on strike - for weeks - without even announcing it.

Even countries like Germany, Singapore, Switzerland and Finland are doing worse than Pakistan in the GDP growth race.

My point was than if there are stronger work protection laws somewhere else and the laws of your country are weaker, they are not very strong, they are moderately strong.
Well, okay, it may be the case that our democracy is so crippled that it can’t protect basic consumer rights. But even so, what are we supposed to do? Quit our jobs, abandon our livelihoods, and take to the streets until our government decides we’re too much trouble and hands over power to a more consumer-friendly replacement government? Or just continue to want to use subscriptions through Apple where possible?
Stomach churning torture, abuse and mass murder of humans in the Phoenix Program, Abu Ghraib, MKUltra; overthrows of democratic governments; support of terrorist death squads; helping to facilitate the crack epidemic in the US and destroying the life of the man who exposed it, via a compliant 'free press'. Just some of the things the CIA is notorious for.

Imagine if the Soviet Union had made endless TV series and movies about the heroic deeds of the KGB. It would be quite rightly laughed out of sight as the most absurd, batshit propaganda.

And yet that is what's pumped out in the US year in, year out, about the CIA. And it works.

Edit: Pretty sinister that since posting this HN is now preventing me from posting and replying. Note to others: don't question the CIA.

Edit 2: Since I can't reply to the post asking about which shows are CIA propaganda, shows like Covert Affairs, The Agency, Burn Notice, Homeland, Alias, and others, which AIUI have current or former CIA advisors and guided tours of Langley for the producers and cast.
I've used them a few times for personal transfers. Each took less than 30 seconds until the money was booked out of my account and booked into the receivers account.

SEPA in my experience has never taken longer than 1 day unless it's SOFORT-related, which in my experience takes a bit to confirm (but the merchant knows you issued a transfer so they can rely on that).
Also, try www or something like that and you can see what the scammers were after... e.g. wwwgodady.com or wwwamazln.com
Aren’t you just equivocating on the phrase “in love” though? In this context it just means a strong preference for products manufactured by a certain firm in a certain industry, which isn’t particularly abnormal.
I was convinced for some reason that you need balance on all sides to ensure profit. I don't know how I arrived at this conclusion, as doing the (very simple) maths again, it does indeed seem possible to make a profit on independent lay bets. You are of course right in asking why a bookmaker would increase odds on a bet which is both bringing in good money and has favourable odds.

Thanks a lot! This makes things a whole lot easier.

Not lacking, it simply didn't work as expected.

I'm on Debian + KDE Plasma 5 and the tray icon disappeared, the UI froze for no obvious reason, sometimes only the frame of the windows was visible while the rest was a black square, notifications were hit and miss, sometimes the mic wasn't released after a voice call and I had to restart pulseaudio to free it and sometimes the client couldn't detect the audio devices at all.

I believe it has to do with my configuration, but I never had the same problems with the Teams client.
Eternal recurrence is a concept supposedly found in ancient Egypt and where one can understand all the causes & effects that made our life can theoretically repeat for infinity. The bible story about Adam & Eve is somewhat significant to highlight the cause of eating the forbidden fruit resulting in the effect of original sin but fails to highlight God being the cause for such a forbidden fruit existing in the first place; or one could even argue God being the cause for giving them free will.

Anyway from the foregoing, it makes sense scientists can benefit from looking at historical events, stories, and traditions for improving perception. I don't know why people get shamed or embarrassed about reading things like magic or alchemy as an example. Science likely benefits from creativity and what's more creative than imagination or unrealistic topics.

"My Dear Yahuda,
Newton’s writings on biblical subjects seem to me especially interesting because they provide deep insight into the characteristic intellectual features and working methods of this important man. The divine origin of the Bible is for Newton absolutely certain, a conviction that stands in curious contrast to the critical skepticism that characterizes his attitude toward the churches. From this confidence stems the firm conviction that the seemingly obscure parts of the Bible must contain important revelations, to illuminate which one need only decipher its symbolic language. Newton seeks this decipherment, or interpretation, by means of his sharp systematic thinking grounded on the careful use of all the sources at his disposal.
While the formative development of Newton’s lasting physics works must remain shrouded in darkness, because Newton apparently destroyed his preparatory works, we do have in this domain of his works on the Bible drafts and their repeated modification; these mostly unpublished writings therefore allow a highly interesting insight into the mental workshop of this unique thinker.

- Einstein. September 1940, Saranac Lake

P.S. I think that it is wonderful that the writings will all be kept together and made available for research.”
While I don't believe the pyramids can tell about the apocalypse or the Bible, the math of the pyramids is more complex than one would think.

Most famously, the great pyramid has eight sides (not four) [1] and it has at least two massive hidden chambers that no-one can figure out [2].

Some of the Egyptian pyramids had stereograms inside, they have fantastic mazes of pathways and traps.

Building these things (like the inner angle of the great pyramid) must have been quite a feat, the logic for some of these decisions still escape us, and the style of building is not consistent from one pyramid to the next.

(I haven't verified that these sites are good, just took the first links on DDG, but the facts were widely reported and are easy to verify.)
