Kids are exposed to war, violence and action everywhere.

The media being the most shewd example of this: pretending to have a moral highground while causing massive fear and outrage because that is the only reason people return to their websites and then report on real crime in a subversively grusome-but-not-grusome way to pretend to have a moral highground while clearly getting the severity of the crime in the text in a more shrewd manner to avoid getting explicitly called out.

A kid will eventually get a toy tank if he wants it, if not from Lego then from somewhere else.

So if this is Lego's core mantra that's fine, it's their company.

But if Lego did this just to appease some activists then they shot themself in the foot. The kid will get his tank toy in the end, war machines & action are fascinating to boys.

Aspirationally, yes, but it's not like they run out of money if they don't get to Mars that fast.
Swiss tech companies find that there isn't enough talent within Switzerland unless they are focusing purely on the Swiss market. Cost of living is higher than London in somewhere like Geneva.
For growing US tech companies, what is the main reason why they want to open a tech office in Europe? If it's just regulatory / business / tax stuff, there's no need to employ developers: it could just be business & legal side. If it's access to talent then London is still great. Perhaps that will decline as it won't be as easy to bring EU citizens over to work there.
I know that the Silicon Valley salaries can be several times higher than in London, but for some Europeans it just doesn't seem super attractive to live and work in the US.
My favorite scene in all three original trilogy is the opening when luke does the somersault flip as r2d2 launches the light saber at him...

That said, as an adult, after being let down immensely by eps 1-3, and finding mediocre/nostalgic entertainment in 7-9, rogue one actually feels better to me than all other movies.

I can't really compare it with Mandalorian though, except that they compliment each other nicely. I like RO because of it's dark, everybody dies in the end, that is totally NOT something you'd expect from ANY disney movie.
Ask HN: Where can I find a list of all JavaScript Web APIs objects and methods?

>That is a given for every resident in most European countries.

Based on what I've heard it's not a given in the UK for example. Need non-guaranteed GP referral (ie: they may say no) for a specialist and there's often a long waiting period.
Very rough outcome:

"Moreover, if such a request were granted, must the model be retrained from scratch? The fact that models can memorize and misuse an individual’s personal information certainly makes the case for data deletion and retraining more compelling."

Besides, how would one even know that their info was used in a training dataset, only if and when it's revealed in a generated excerpt?

Bioeconomy Newsletter #16/17
Surprisingly, no. Last time this was posted there were some efficiency figures, wingsails being the best, but Flettner rotors still beating old-fashion sails and kites. And rotors are very likely cheaper than a sail/kite long term (they need complete replacement quite often because of rips and tears).
From the article : "Ships can easily be retrofitted, literally overnight, with rotors activated by an on/off switch."

I think kite systems require more work, e.g. for launching & landing. When it gets taken down, you probably need to dry it, fold it, stow it, etc. So even if they are more efficient, lighter & cheaper, doesn't mean they're necessarily the preferred solution.

So you're saying you're a MAGA denialist conspiracy theorist who's been debunked to the point, you can't buy into that crowd anymore and have 'seen the light'? Or are you trolling right-wing people w/ this comment, to show them how insane their logic/world view is?

To me it seems a little similar to when I introduced my manager to the idea of agile programming 17 years ago or something. He understood the "faster iteration" part and didn't hear anything else really. Here they have the idea of making a currency "digital" but just see it as mainly enabling the broken model they currently have.

Personally I think something like solutions built on Ethereum 2.0 have the potential to really integrate more real-world information and finer-grained control for society.

Money is fundamentally a technology and it should be a high technology.

But like with everything else, there are extreme differences between the outcome of divergent designs.
Don't collect information about your customers that you don't need to provide the service to them.

It's not hard to comply, and it's a cost of doing business that you have to accept. If you implement it right, then you'll be compliant by default. Not sure how not being compliant is a positive for any startup.

It's the law in the EU, so unless you want to cut out a market of half a billion people, you have to comply.
Yes, because the greatest famines of the past 200 years, during the Great Leap Forward and holodomor, were caused by following extremist free market policies, not the opposite.
Using Mind Maps for Technical Planning and Writing
Are they? How is maintenance? How sensitive are they in changes to wind? How much training does the crew need to operate either?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind-assisted_propulsion says

> In comparison to kite sails, Flettner rotors often offer considerable efficiency gains when compared to the size of a sail or kite vs. size of the rotor and prevailing wind conditions.

But I'm not sure if this size comparison makes all that much sense (maybe the performance per dollar invested would be more interesting?)

I'm genuinely curious about a comparison from an operator's perspective, and I also hope both approaches are being developed further.

I believe you are confused. Nobody is disputing the rule of law (and especially contract law) and the role of government in upholding it. What you are describing is pretty much anarchy and nobody is arguing for that.
Oh sorry, I should have clarified it’s GraphQL “under the hood” (backend). Most of GitHub is a Rails app, and in the case of the commits page, the controller makes a GraphQL query, and then takes the results and injects it into the view, all server side.
The original idea was that if GitHub was using its own GraphQL API to build its pages, our users would have the exact same access as GitHub engineers.

It’s believed Nintendos consoles use a micro kernel but that’s a result of hacks and reverse engineering. However Nintendo themselves have given limited information. While I think your point is more likely than not, that caveat I’m making is still worth noting; ie things aren’t as certain as you’re boldly claiming.

Now on to your point about the complaint the GP and myself made being FUD; it’s really not. The closest to a monolithic kernels performance any micro kernel has gotten was L4 and those benchmarks was running Linux on top of L4 vs bare metal Linux. While the work on L4 is massively impressive there is still a big caveat, the actual workload was still effectively ran on a monolithic kernel with L4 acting like a hypervisor. So most of the advantages that a micro kernel offers were rendered moot and there was still a small performance hit for it.

Why doesn’t that matter for the Nintendo Switch? Probably because any DRM countermeasures in user space would have a bigger performance penalty and a micro kernel offers some protections there as part of the design. That’s just a guess but as I opened with, Nintendo are quite secretive about their system software so it’s hard to make the kind of conclusive arguments you like to claim.
Too early to tell.

If you’re coming from a less well-off country and have the flexibility to take advantage of any post-Brexit easier immigration flux, I’d definitely take the risk and go for it.

If you’re coming from a country that’s roughly as prosperous and have some luxury of time, I’d delay any decision by at least a year.

There will most likely still be more opportunity in London than anywhere else in Europe, but hard to tell what it’ll be like compared against the rest of the world.

What is the input latency? Best case, avg?

There is a very large segment of the gaming community that's all about the 120-144hz experience these days. A lot of that is how it feels. At "just" 120hz that's only 8.33 frame time. You start throwing in 20ms of input latency on top of all the rest and you'll never get that 120hz experience.

It doubly won't cut it for the PC VR crowd. Ever.

That's high-end low latency experience but where things are headed and certainly noticable by non-pro gamers. But sure, it's high-end.. Even though the PS5 supports 120hz.

But forgetting high end, 20ms is more than a frames time at 60hz! PC Gamer's review of Stadia had the input lag as high as like 70ms on some titles doubling the total input latency!
Not on that page, no, but you could easily fetch this information via the GraphQL API.

If I understand the concept correctly the rotor does not only work as "sail" but also as "air propeller", as you need to input energy through its rotation (that gets multiplied by the "sail" effect of the Magnus effect). So that's an apples to oranges comparison, that does not bode well for the kite (as it is "passive", not effecting any compounding of energy).

Music is often the same way. Any beginner with an ear can tell they are not great, especially performing with others who are. They get shy and won't play, for fear of sounding bad.
London will likely be less attractive as a place to work for Europeans: since they cannot work without organising a visa and depending on the UK government (given also that the government said out loud they would put up EU residents' rights as stakes in their Brexit negotiations);

and likely less attractive as a place for to non-Europeans to work, since they can't get access to Europe via London.

Finding workers for your unicorn startup in the UK will be much more challenging.
Personally I think both sides are totally right and also totally wrong.

Because we absolutely do need to print money to avoid millions of people living in the streets at this point.

But we also ARE going to be bankrupt by it.

And I think the way out is to recognize that the monetary system is dated and inadequate and create a new one. Unlikely they will do that, but I feel better mentioning it even though it will be ignored.

The new system would be digital and incorporate more real-world information and finer-grained control.
I prefer zero-dependency single file executables. Elegant and easy to comprehend. Docker only adds another layer of abstraction and its advantages are questionable.
SpaceX has received contracts worth over $10 billion from the DoD and NASA. Its estimated that they have over 60% of Government launch contracts.

That of course is biased towards the contracted projects, but still provides cashflow and leverage for capital.
What I've read previously is that the kite systems took more training and skill to utilize, which was holding back adoption, whereas this sounds like it would be a much easier technology to use. Although, I do wonder if one could use both.

> 1. Austrian economics is right, Keynsian is wrong.

At this point in history, how can anyone claim that Keynesianism is "wrong"?

> I would summarize the Keynesian view in terms of four points:

> 1. Economies sometimes produce much less than they could, and employ many fewer workers than they should, because there just isn’t enough spending. Such episodes can happen for a variety of reasons; the question is how to respond.

> 2. There are normally forces that tend to push the economy back toward full employment. But they work slowly; a hands-off policy toward depressed economies means accepting a long, unnecessary period of pain.

> 3. It is often possible to drastically shorten this period of pain and greatly reduce the human and financial losses by “printing money”, using the central bank’s power of currency creation to push interest rates down.

> 4. Sometimes, however, monetary policy loses its effectiveness, especially when rates are close to zero. In that case temporary deficit spending can provide a useful boost. And conversely, fiscal austerity in a depressed economy imposes large economic losses.

* https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/09/15/keynesianism-ex...

I'm sure that there are nuances in the model that can be more or less accurate, but the idea that (aggregate) demand drives economic activity, and that (central bank) interest rates and government (stimulus) spending effects economic activity seems fairly certain. Especially with everything we've seen over the last ~20 years: Fed-driven US real estate bubble, post-2008 economic recovery, lack of inflation due to low/zero rates even with lots of "printing money", austerity caused economic slowdowns (in the EU).

It's been one giant economics petri dish of experiments. How has Keynesianism failed? Non-K folks were predicting all sorts of problem, and yet the Ks were saying 'it'll be fine':

> We believe the Federal Reserve's large-scale asset purchase plan (so-called "quantitative easing") should be reconsidered and discontinued. We do not believe such a plan is necessary or advisable under current circumstances. The planned asset purchases risk currency debasement and inflation, and we do not think they will achieve the Fed's objective of promoting employment.

But again, this doesn't really explain why US military hardware makers are concerned about this, unless the theory is that the US 5G equipment makers are pressuring the private industry groups that make military aviation equipment to pressure the US military and the FCC.. pretty far down a rabbit hole at this point with zero evidence.

And around the world 5G is not being deployed at the same frequencies! They are concerned about a particular spectrum. Lots of the purchased spectrum as I understand it is 30Gz+, they are raising zero concerns about that.

It's true it's not an exact mirror copy of the current election predicament. Nevertheless, the outcome of questioning the election and democracy in general is the result of both cases.
It is fun to speculate about this, because money is fundamentally information - imagine that a dollar is a "like".

The most fundamental hurtle to distribution is that people don't wanna! When you have a bunch of likes, giving them away sounds like a good idea, but in reality it means a) reducing your own value (unfairly), and b) increasing someone else's value (unfairly).

I personally have another solution, that I've never heard articulated, which I call "The Enough Number". It's a number you individually decide is enough for you, after which you will choose not to work any further (at least, not for money). This achieves a kind of de facto redistribution since, theoretically, someone else will step in to make the money the retiree is no longer making. Another way to put it is that it creates an artificial scarcity of competence, or it means that competence-for-hire decays over time in a way that is beneficial to society.

The only way for this to work, IMHO, is if you get some social status at Davos (free VIP entry for life? A medal?) for having a achieved Enough. Or maybe a publisher can arise, called "Enough Press" where such people can get a book deal.

FWIW my own Enough Number is $10M. This is still quite high but it reflects my upper-middle class sensibilities. This would be enough for a beautiful 1500 ft^2 house in Laguna Beach, a 30' wooden sailboat I partner on with a couple of neighbors, and I'd probably spend my time teaching neighborhood kids how to program and make things in a beautiful, sunny space filled with all kinds of very cool and dangerous components.

Politically, this helps focus me on the desired outcome, where the Earth is populated by people who routinely achieve Enough at 30, and spend most of their lives raising their kids, traveling, telling stories, eating good food, reading and writing. The really duty driven folk would find longer-term work at the EPA or the Justice Department or on space projects, etc. I would expect intellectuals to have the easiest time of it, because they could become adjunct professors. Celebrities and business people would struggle, I think, because the attention is the juice, and you can't every really have Enough!

This is getting at the idea behind the Fourier transform. 3b1b did an excellent video with exactly this visualization:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spUNpyF58BY

The idea is that wrapping a function around a circle at the right frequency (i.e. length per spiral) will cause peaks and troughs to align. It just happens here that the "right" frequency is 1/year.
I doubt they were hiding.
Professionalism is nihlism. It's mostly the same thing. Hence why it's improper to exclaim.
Pretty sure you don't need a tail-wind. Regular old sails as well as kites can be used at various angles to the wind. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_of_sail

[edit] P.S. from my understanding of the mechanism, I'm not so sure these Flettner rotors are useful in a headwind. They work by creating a pressure difference, but in a headwind, you could only create a pressure difference between the port and starbord sides, not the front and back. Unless there's some mechanism I'm missing?
You could do that pretty easily with SciPy and PyPlot. Of course not as easily as a dedicated command, but it's pretty nice either way.

Sometimes that helps!

Countless times I was stuck in something and decided to open an issue or add a question to stack overflow.

When I interact "formally" with the community like this, I do my proper diligence and try to add as much detail and context as possible. That's the least I can do for someone that will try to help me.

While I'm adding this context, my assumptions, what went wrong, what I've tried and so forth, I often notice I solve the issue on my own!

I'd say more than half of the times I act to open an issue or ask a question, I figure out the issue myself midway.

I guess talking to oneself out loud and writing question-reports are a variation of the rubber duck method.
