He once commented that ever since he helped investigate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Airlines_Flight_587, the smell of jet fuel has made him sick.

Once there was an offhand comment about Soylent Green, and he said, "I've seen the stuff." It was in a bottle that the murderer kept in his fridge. If the police hadn't thought to do a DNA test on the liquid, they wouldn't have realized what it was.

Every Spring NYC has "floaters". These are people who died and were thrown into the river. Often with weights attached. As the water warms slightly, the body starts decomposing and eventually bloat from the gas makes it buoyant so it comes to the surface.

He once commented, "I don't think that there is a way that one human can kill another that I haven't seen." He then began giving a long list.

Good enough?
Starting a Side Hustle, the Frustrations, Trials and Tribulations (Part 2)
Stop putting it all on the federal government. It’s also state government’s fault. California only thinks in terms of lockdowns even after all these months. Also look at people’s personal behaviors. I saw more and more people walking around without masks recently. Downtown Burlingame was shockingly bad.
Yes, the DOJ lies in these press releases. Ken White, a former federal prosecutor, wrote a sort-of-famous blog post about this:

https://www.popehat.com/2013/02/05/crime-whale-sushi-sentenc...

35 years is a "whale sushi sentence". You have multiple ways of knowing it's false, if you dig in: again, Swartz's lawyer, the prosecutors own statements, and a straightforward reading of the sentencing guidelines (2B.1).

A particularly important detail of how sentencing works: charges group. The press releases often imply that you might serve time on every count, but in reality, in almost all circumstances, you serve the sentence associated with the most severe count.

The TechDirt article makes the same mistake. TechDirt has gotten better over the last few years; Mike Masnick got tight with the Ken White / Popehat scene, and I assume they get feedback now on legal stuff. But that article is exactly the kind of thing what White is talking about when he says that the media bears some culpability in people's misunderstanding of how sentencing works.

To be clear: all I'm litigating is whether Swartz faced a "lifetime" in prison --- or, for that matter, any double-digit-years sentence whatsoever. I'm not qualified to evaluate the sentencing guidelines, but my layperson read of the guidelines results in Swartz facing 1-2 years if he'd been convicted on everything. You shouldn't take my word for it at all, but do note that my reading lines up with what Swartz's attorney said as well.
You'll probably be biased in worse ways too. That was my point.
Looking at the games which has been marked as "playable: no" it seems that their definition of "playable" means that it runs without crashing/glitching. I think that's perfectly sensible definition. A game can have 60FPS, but be unplayable because it crashes when you switch scenes. And a game can have 5FPS, but be "playable".

They should have another column called "recommended" though, since filtering by "playable" isn't very useful…

SpaceX tenders for and receives contracts from the DoD. Such as one in August for Space Command launches and another in October for Earth-bound delivery of payloads. So they're a defence contractor.
Unlike broccoli or kale, potatoes have way lower vitamin and fiber content. Unlike chickpeas, potatoes have way lower protein content.

I feel like I'm in some kind of twilight zone with fifteen HNers attacking me for saying a pretty much accepted truth about potatoes (that it is an extremely starch-rich vegetable that's fairly low in other nutrients). I don't understand the reason for this. Is everyone here on a potato diet?
There are various tools for this: I believe one of the interns at Jane Street wrote a tool to diff s-expressions, and similar tools exist for lisp source code.

Semicolons aren't noise; you've read the statement before you even get to them so how can they be noise? Noise would be type info added to languages that didn't have it before, such as TypeScript. Generics can get pretty gnarley too, when you have nested typing info involved.

Keep in mind these are benchmarks done on low-priced entry-level models of Apple hardware (about one third of them on a fanless MacBook Air), while running translated x86-to-arm binaries and probably translated direct3d-opengl (correct me if I'm wrong).

Aside from that, the M1 would have been great even if Apple hadn't done the x86 support. The performance at native CPU-bound tasks is still incredible.
Well, they’re targeting launching much more mass than F9 for a much lower cost with Starship (<$10M). So not done yet, but it seems like they have a good shot at it. And if they pull off orbital refueling, then they can take those huge amounts of mass to geo and beyond.
This looks like a marketing piece. The M1 doesn't replace dedicated graphics power nor is the apple platform going to jump to 100W+ extra power usage to embed a proper nvidia chip. Unless a game performs at 60fps at the displays standard resolution without having to rip it's quality apart it is not an enjoyable experience.

No doubt basic games like terraria or vanilla minecraft will work, same as intel HD.
It was a fun game. Most interesting was that all in-game texts suggested that F-86 Sabre was better than MiG-15, but in practice MiG-15 was much better. You could easily win a dogfight against 5 Sabres in MiG, but not the reverse.

Quoting the man, himself:

> I think people should stay at home, avoid all non-essential activities, wear masks, and not gather with anyone outside their households. I’ve been saying this for about 10 months now. If you didn’t listen to my (and many others) entreaties before, I don’t think you’ll likely change your behavior based on a new order.

I disagree with this wholeheartedly.

People are getting a LOT of pressure to see family right now. Strong messages from people in authority absolutely will cause some people to think more about this. It also gives them an external authority to appeal to when resisting peer pressure.

Yes, you're not going to get the dipshits.

However, being able to tell family, that you maybe didn't even want to see all that much anyway (a lot of people only do the extended family thing out of obligation at the holidays), that there is an "Official Order(tm)" to "Don't gather" helps.

This is similar to official "mask mandates". This helps because a store can now say "Sir, the city/county/state has issued official orders to wear masks and we will have to ask you to leave if you don't wear it." An official mandate gives the store political cover. It also gives the average citizen the ability to ask the store to kick someone out who is non-compliant.

The "Bully Pulpit" is a real thing.

> So it overall reduce the burden on the court system and the insurance self-finance itself, there's no need for profits.

Profit is seldom a significant part of costs. Slate Star Codex went into that quite a bit in the context of healthcare.

Cost explosions usually come when controls on costs are missing.

Competition can be one way to control costs, but it's not the only one. Eg tap water in most places or the Quebec insurance you mention are low cost, too.
I don’t live in the US but have been to a few US cities for work. San Diego was horrendous without a car. DC was very good, even though when I travelled there had been heavy snow.

I’ve been to SF twice in the last three years. My impression of SF’s public transport (and to be honest, walking around parts of it too) was that I did not feel very safe using the MUNI buses, especially at night. I saw on the news that a British guy got stabbed near my hotel a week after I left the first time.

On one occasion I also witnessed a bus driver drive past a guy in a wheelchair in the middle of the day. Someone on the bus challenged them on that and I vividly remember that she said “I ain’t lettin no cripple pee pee all over my bus.”

The BART was much better but obviously is more limited in where it goes.

You read that question very literally.

I am interested to see were the bottleneck could be.

Just speaking for myself, as somebody who has preordered a Librem 5, but may not be representative at all of the wider community around it:

I want a pocketable Linux device I can take with me everywhere. That's it. I don't care how well it works as a phone. I want a fully-featured, honest-to-god GNU/Linux terminal in my pocket that I can use to do anything that I could do on a (massively underpowered) Linux laptop, especially on the command line (i.e. I don't even care too much about GUI apps except some basics like web and PDF display).

If it can someday replace my phone, that's a massive bonus of course, but realistically I don't think it will within the next decade, for my specific smartphone needs. But that's OK - I don't mind carrying alongside it an Android device that is my actual "smartphone".

To say that lock down was needless because the worst case scenario isn’t proof the lock down wasn’t needed. It is evidence (not proof mind) that the lockdowns worked.

One of my kids learned at age 17, when he realized that adulthood was bearing down on him. Suddenly, the need for employable skills became much more real. Before that, it was a sort of far-off theoretical thing that didn't really count.

Learning by failure doesn't work with a kid who just doesn't care. Kids often don't see a reason to care because the future seems so distant. Flunking classes doesn't seem to change anything, and there doesn't seem to be a reward for passing classes. Video games are fun. YouTube has fail videos, cartoons, make-up tutorials, and so much more.
So do you also agree with sanctions against the population? In a sense, censorship is an inaction for a communications company, not a positive act of assistance. Apple doesn't get paid for actually censoring anything. They get paid for whatever legal services they can still sell to innocent civilians. Suppose they were selling food and the govt insists they refuse to sell food to an opposition group. Taking the high road and refusing to play ball is to starve everyone, not just the people the govt wants to starve.
Climate change will fix that!
Comparisons are never perfect, but we will surely be able to learn from seeing what happens. Also, it's not as if the only data that will come in will be at the county level. Menlo Park and Palo Alto are virtually identical from a demographic perspective and will be following different rules. We'll be able to see how their reported numbers differ. For example, we'll be able to track the case counts in MP and PA school districts.

During the financial crisis we saw that in finance, they do good by making their principals money. The investors can go F themselves if they're in the way.

I don't game on Macos, but if you get above 10fps, depending on the specific game, it can be playable.

A small anecdote, I had the opportunity to shake the retired General Yeager's hand at a swearing-in ceremony at Beale AFB in 2006.

He seemed a bit tired after a long day in the Central Valley summer heat, and quite grumpy with a gaggle of NCOs from the recruiting office that asked him for an autograph. As it turns out his physician grounded him from flying his private plane earlier that week and I imagine that put him into quite the mood!
How does the Unity editor itself run on wine these days? Is it stable?
Babel allows you to code using the newest language features, but "compile" down to older versions of javascript for deployment so you can run on older browsers (possible since JavaScript is Turing complete so you can replace the new-fancy features with less-pretty/less-readable code that does the same thing)

Eslint is a linter.

Prettier is a code formatter.

Yarn is a dependency manager.

Webpack is a bundler for JavaScript files - think of it as conceptually like a linker for C++ et al.

Nothing too different from any other language (apart from babel perhaps), and none of them are essential or required (unlike linkers in C/C++ for example)
looks amazing. hopefully you can help disrupt research
You are right that subsidies make up 25% of farm income, but that doesn't mean that food is anything like eg 25% cheaper than without subsidies.

The exact impact depends on many details. By default, you would mostly expect food subsidies to increase the price that agricultural land fetches.

Most subsidies would only have an impact on prices, if they encourage more growing overall.

Of course, there's also subsidies and regulations for producing less food. (The EU has a lot of these, too. It's almost impossible to grow more grapes for wine.) The US has the famous corn ethanol subsidy. And some tariffs on food imports.
I agree with you but I also think that this situation that a company is making very unique computer is exciting. I wish Apple have 10-25% market share, not above 30%.
> You have some weird unhealthy vendetta against potatoes going on here

This is the funniest thing---I absolutely don't! I love mashed potatoes. I am just pointing out they are not the healthiest food. It's okay to like foods that are not healthy. I love cake for example. It's just weird to me how lots of people here seemingly convinced themselves that potatoes are super-healthy while the are actually carb bombs.
Are you replying to me? Did I suggest the feds should force the states to do anything?
You're definitely right, and I'm not trying to make a statement about your personality or anything (I'm almost 100% sure you didn't intend it this way), but the phrase "please don't spread misinformation" comes across as so smug and pompous.

I suggest looking around the world in space, but also looking through history in time.

Around the world: look at countries that don't produce much food of their own, but import a lot instead. Those countries might still have food regulation, but they won't have a local food growers lobby asking for subsidies.

Throughout history: Have a look at eg the British Corn Laws and the aftermath of their repeal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_Laws

> With that said my understanding of the farm bill is that one of the pillar purposes of its creation by FDR in the new deal was to control the cost of food.

Much of the New Deal was meant to increase the price of (agricultural) products.
Yes, but placing Solitaire and Alien Isolation into the same category that "playable" means it can be launched and interacted with at 7-12 FPS is absolutely disingenuous. It wholly matters what type of game we're referring to.

Yes, Solitaire at low FPS is playable. I mean, it doesn't matter. At all. Playable for Solitaire is almost Boolean.

A suspenseful, atmospheric horror shooter? How it plays is absolutely important and why has that context been disregarded?
This is bad reasoning. If everyone produces less by the same amount, then even if you produce no less than the next person, the overall production has gone down.
