@ushanti is really amazing, pulling the Progressives kicking and screaming in to approving small amounts of housing. I have no complaints about Preston either. But they are both outliers in the Progressive camp, not the core of it!

Edit: from what I know of Preston, at least. I'm not in SF, just have to deal with the terrible politics there providing cover for conservatives in my area to be reactionary in housing. And this is the core reasons that the Progressives in SF are so bad, they say all sorts of regressive things (like seemingly supporting Prop 13?!) because they are too deep in a culture war to realize the policy that will support the progressive values they claim to support, but all too often, do not. For example refusing to make 100% affordable housing by-right.

Somewhat amused by the "keming" you refer to. I assume it's tongue-in-cheek. :-)

Double-space into period is a customizable feature of on-screen keyboards (at least Gboard).

There was a somewhat viral video which included a lady explaining the search in detail which is more likely where the recent popularity stems from.
You're ignoring the biggest high level problem in the US: leadership that ignores science. If we had political leaders that made their decisions based on science and research we wouldn't be in such a big mess. Without that leadership the changes you listed won't happen.
I have a bunch of STM32 Nucleo and Discovery boards that I use and which one I use will depend on circumstances.

For prototyping I use both breadboards and perfboards. I use breadboards for small fast prototypes and perfboards when I know I am going to develop it over a longer time or when I have some special requirements (like AC power on board or a component that has 2.54mm pitch but is not breadboardable) that exclude or make it more difficult to use on a breadboard.

For breadboard I would default to use STM32L432 Nucleo-32 which is breadboardable and doesn't use much space.

For perfboard I default on either STM32L452 Nucleo-64 or STM32F303 Discovery. I don't solder them to board but instead just insert it in the board and then put couple of pieces of plastic from 2.54mm pitch header with the metal pins removed. This mounts the board securely in place without having to solder it. I use dupont jumper wires to connect it to the rest of the board where I would typically solder the rest of components (unless I also don't want to solder them in for some reason).

I would typically solder in things that are disposable to me that I don't want to flap around.
I've had that exact same experience with my wife. I'd tell her something for weeks, months, years, without her buying into it at all--then I'd watch somebody at a party tell her the same thing and she suddenly agrees! It's been infuriating. But now that I look at it in this framework, I have a path forward: spread ideas to her family and friends first.

The lack of USB-C is the reason I didn't replace my Airpods with more Airpods when their battery died.

(Still looking for a decent replacement -- I unfortunately cannot use the kind that has those rubber seal plug things, I must have the hard plastic style like the non-pro Airpods)
For my district, roughly K-8 encouraged 2 spaces but changed once I got to HS. I don't know if this was an artifact of teaching us to create bibliographies and citations in MLA Style or just for ease of editing.

College and Grad School either didn't care or vehemently adhered to 1 space.

APA Style and its variants seems reasonable to me, if only for the reason that it corrects a major flaw in AP - the lack of a serial comma.
Probably in the next version.
I was being sarcastic, iOS is clearly based on MacOS/OSX, which was derived from NextStep. OP was implying that was a myth.
Huh. I think that's a good thing. Slow charging is better than a dead battery and unusable device.

My work HP laptop has USB-C charging but won't charge at all without PD. I tried it with a USB-A - C cable and a fairly hefty adapter without PD.

Here is an interesting paper that says a collapsing star sheds enough mass to not ever become a black hole or form a singularity. It's from 2014, and still controversial, but interesting, and her math seems to have been reviewed. I will follow this with interest to see how it fares peer review. Evidence of black holes is indirect at the moment, which is OK for now, but it will be interesting to see how it all pans out in the coming years.

Anti-capitalism is usually held exactly from a position of more freedom. In a more free world, your livelihood would not be conditioned by obedience to a totalitarian institution such as a company.

Opposition to pure free speech is indeed problematic, though.
I find this argument unconvincing and harmful. The "will be exploited by few against the many" could be applied to any and all technologies. Our social systems have problems, and should be improved, but this has nothing to do with science and technology. I can't see how suppressing innovation and scientific discovery as a misguided solution won't make all of our lives even worse.

If we have a breakthrough that leads to a deep understanding of intelligence, it could be expected to also give us insight into our own behavior. And isn't that where most of our problems originate?
You're welcome to think that

If you can show definitive proof that there is a limitation on the spending power of a government, that can only be overcome by selling bonds or collecting taxes, I'll happily change my position

My favorite thing about the Collisons is how down to earth they seem in spite of their incredible success. And that humility seems to permeate throughout the corporate culture of the company as well. I have not seen a single comment on HN by a Stripe that broke that image.

And it's not a PR-designed-totally-artificial-image like Sheryl Sandberg. But they seem to be the real deal.

Wish you guys the best!
The article opens with that exact quote. Do you have any specific arguments against the article?

I can certainly appreciate the "doesn't surprise me" aspect, but I still don't see how AWD / 4WD will help you when braking.

It's obvious that it'll help when accelerating, and perhaps even when turning, with a (more) even application of torque on all wheels.

My main gripe with it is that it often gives drivers a false sense of security (as they got going easily), and they'll drive too fast for the conditions. Just look at some parts of this sub-thread, where people say "I don't need winter tires, I have AWD / 4WD".

If you need to brake in an emergency on snow / slush / ice, nothing is going to help you except your tires (and perhaps some smart ABS).

There is nothing new in the fact that a contract is what the parties agree on and consent to.

Where the law requires explicit consent it is perfectly valid to include this consent in a contract. An important aspect, though, especially in relation to consumer protection laws is that this must be clear and attention may even need to be specifically brought to it.
There must be -somewhere- an acceptable delta to keep your listing while doing legitimate edits.

The line should be somewhere in-between:

1- changing the package size from 12 to 8

2- changing a german car oil listing, to a horse accessory and then a toy drone
Reasons given: colder, drier weather, false sense of confidence, people started to let their guard down, huge manufacturing sector, combination of poverty and density. I am not convinced LA was uniquely vulnerable given these reasons.
In theory, yes. The trials clearly showed a reduction of bad cases too, so very unlikely. AFAIK, nobody died during the tests, so technically not tested.
Most of the features that you point out are IO bound. E.g. indexing dependencies, navigating/ searching files. Are you sure that the speed up is because of the new IDE release and not because of a new laptop?
When's the last time you read about a hot new Windows desktop app on HN?
I wish you could still do graphics this way on modern computers. Take Linux for example. It would be cool if I could just install command line Linux on a machine and then switch to "graphics mode" without having to install and configure a whole desktop.

I might use such a thing for some projects I'd like to build.
Do you have any sources on those? I was unaware as of yet
Only with a not-yet in effect law, which has been months in the making, will measures even approaching a full lockdown be legal in Sweden. An actual full lockdown would require constitutional level changes which has to go through multiple administrations before coming into effect.

There literally hasn't been many possible measures to take beyond those taken.

The country is also more devolved into regional administration than the neighbors. So yes, there are major differences in legislation.

This is weirdly missing from the rah-rah coming from both sides - it's not even really a tactic, but the outcome of our laws.
South Korea's 'Artificial Sun' Just Set a Record for High-Temperature Plasma
Both. Yes, some people are better than others at noticing bugs. But just because you found the bug doesn't mean that the product QA didn't find it, it merely means that other things were prioritized over fixing known bugs.
I myself am convinced that brand recognition is on borrowed time - that is, recognition of old brands may still work as useful filter, but new quality brands will be near-impossible to establish.

The reason for that: we're being DDoSed with brands on e-commerce sites. For an increasing amount of product categories, you're going to find 10+ "brands" on Amazon that are selling the same white-label garbage class product, just with a different sticker and box/ad art. I've seen that in electronics, clothing, consumables. And while multiple brands under one company was a thing for a long time now (see e.g. how many stuff you eat is made by Nestlé or Unilever), there seems to be a qualitative difference here: white label goods meet e-commerce. "Brands" proliferate at the speed of computing.
No, the irrationality is part of the problem. I can ask you again and again to describe how this thing might be "racist" and you cannot do so. It is only racist by fiat, as if someone could declare a particular letter of the alphabet racist. That's the absurd bit. I can ask and ask and ask, and you won't answer the question because you cannot.

That's the absurdity.
It's so unfortunate because he is such a brilliant mathematician and physicist. To hear him spew this pseudo-scientific nonsense makes me embarrassed for him.
I'm sure it did but the brothers have something that is pretty rare: they are utterly focused, very smart, humble and nice people all in one. That combination was destined for success of some kind.
It's not a problem for Amazon, it's a net positive feature monetarily speaking.
Bait-and-switch doesn't matter if Amazon doesn't care about fake and paid-for reviews.

I was looking for dashcams and came across this:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/iiwey-Channels-included-Dashboard-D...

91% 5-star reviews, a lot of the reviews are from "Top XXX reviewer", and almost every one seems to be reading off a script.

If you check out all the profiles of these "Top XX" reviewers, they all seem to be non-stop purchasers of chinese tat... curiously all rated 5 starts.

I'm sure Amazon is perfectly capable of detecting and handling this, what incentive do they have to allow all these fake reviews?
I'm in the US, so it would be illegal for me to deploy this without unsubscribe functionality.

I can't think of a quick and easy way to do it in your lib right now, but this kind of thing is pretty much why I use MailChimp/Sendgrid/etc. for even tiny projects.
about that 95% success rate of law enforcement

https://miami.cbslocal.com/2017/11/09/tsa-fails-bomb-weapons...

2017: "more than 70 percent of the time, undercover Department of Homeland Security investigators were able to get through TSA checkpoints with mock knives, guns, and explosives.

Just two years ago, testing found a 95 percent failure rate."
You implictly assume that you'll receive a similar product to the one people reviewed or photographed. Without that assumption, a lot is lost. Under that assumption, I agree. If you trust the seller, then you can probably also trust the reviews of the kind you mention (e.g. product photos). The problem occurs when you want to use the reviews to determine whether to trust the seller, not the product.
Microsoft will buy Facebook within the decade, calling it now. Oculus is a great addition to xbox, and they have the technical stewardship to maintain the social network's hegemony. Then, they can work it in to Office 365 and offer an enterprise social network (badly needed).
Now, imagine what all the other tech companies are doing with these methods...and to whom....and why.....

"But our Western liberal democracies are so free!"

That's why it must all be kept so secret.

Snowflake at the tip of the iceberg. Dig deeper.
Not sure what the 'tried with catastrophic end results' is because the post you replied to has been censored, but; Sweden have done massively better than France, UK, USA, in deaths per million, they have even done better than Switzerland, all the while not treating their citizens like criminals. While the west look to shining examples like North Korea and China as what we should be doing.
Allergic reactions are like shark attacks. Extremely rare but get tons of press coverage, making them seem more common than they are.

All vaccines have a risk of allergic reactions. This is why you're supposed to be monitored for at least 10 minutes after the injection. This is especially important for people who have a history of such reactions to vaccines.

Blitzscaling 101: Patrick Collison (2015)
A trajectory is a series of time-stamped poses, specified in world coordinates. As to where they come from, yes you need tooling to keep from going crazy. At Anki, they used animation industry tools, so I am told.

The solver handles the balance part in real time, using current sensor input.
> They could be done with the pandemic by the end of January.

There are only 500,000 doses available for the first week of Jan according to Hancock's statement in the commons a few minutes ago, so it will be a while before everyone gets their first dose.
> Personally I think the extra space does improve readability.

In the way that I read, I find that two spaces here highlights the first word(s) of the sentence, and that makes it much slower for me to parse the meaning of the sentence as a whole.

"I've written before about", "This", "This", "It's why I thought", "I", "When I found" - usually I want to skip over these words and get to the meaning: not have them be identified as a point of focus.

Really? SMIC is 14364€/year.

I really doubt it's enough to live in (the real) Paris as a single person in the long run. It's estimated you need around 40k€ to live a modest decent life in Paris.
Genuine question in response to controversial voting pattern: Why? Is there a point here that is wrong specifically? Or you just hate the fact that corporations do have significant power in Europe? Because shooting down the messenger doesn't change the basic fact here.
The only difference between your view and mine is this:

> till proven otherwise

It's still bullshit even if proven otherwise. If I roll my magic dice and determine that it's going to rain tomorrow, and it ends up raining, this in no way validates my methodology.
It would be interesting of publishers would consider using multilayer metal foil covers. They would be essentially indestructable, low cost, easy to engrave with text and images using Nd:YAG 1064 lasers, and then book collectors would never qualm with also lending a protective cover.
Actually, Al+ is purified by smelting, which is powered by applying thermal energy to a sample. As I alluded in my comment above, you can generate the thermal energy by any number of modes of energy transmission (electrical, chemical, RF radiation such as concentrated solar, nuclear, etc.).

The primary point of the above comment was that you need electrical energy to produce H2. That's a false statement. Al+ can generate H2 without electricity.

The important point is that the energy efficiency of any cyclic energy carrier system (batteries/chemical, mechanical, intertial, etc.) is only one, albeit important, factor. Other factors include mass and volumetric energy density, motion/environmental stability, cost, and so forth. The importance of each of these factors is weighted differently based on the application (e.g. automobiles, ships, trains, aircraft, domestic use, etc.).
Peter Woit(the author) is a lecturer in the department of mathematics at Columbia University. He is kind of a black sheep in the high-energy physics world. He has a PhD in physics from Harvard, so he certainly has the credentials but his academic career stalled/never took off, so after some post-docs he took a job at Columbia teaching mathematics and maintaining the computer network of the department. A fact that has not passed unnoticed by his "enemies"(many string theorists),so they use that to mock him and dismiss his not entirely unreasonable criticism of ST. That shows you that eminent physicists can be as tribalistic, petty and emotional as a stereotypical 14 year old girl.
Facebook already has armies of moderators for child porn and gore, which shows that they have control over what's on their site. The bigger question is of course: are we safe with Facebook?
As far I understand the Rosetta2 is not an emulator, but a layer that translate x86/x64 binary code to M1 binary code, it does not emulate a x86 machine in the system.

Something in the lines of Wine, I guess.
I think this is actually incorrect. Again, there is so much misinformation about this that I don't blame anyone. I think there was quite a lot of things being done.

I believe the goal was to keep people informed about the dangers of the virus and how to protect themselves, the most important parts being to wash your hands and social distance. I think they also provide information tailored to different sectors (like healthcare) and advise them on how to fight the virus. It's then up to the different sectors how they handle their specific situation.

I think that Sweden is perceived to not take action when it did. I think this comes from the politicians stepping aside and "transferring the leadership" to FHM (doing the opposite would be political suicide in Sweden). In some other countries you have had politicians boasting how good their response is. I've even seen politicians claim that people of their race just handle the disease better. FHM doesn't have the same vested interest in looking good.
Thanks for your comment.

Right - but I really do want comments. This site and many many others have write access and manage. If a self-hosted solution ever caused me issues on account of spam etc, I'd review the situation.

re 1: I doubt weight is the main concern with a helicopter style drone. I've seen some palm-sized hobbyist helis at the local field. I'd guess durability is the larger concern. a quad with fixed rotors can take some pretty rough landings and still be good to go. the variable pitch mechanisms are much more delicate.
How to Get Paid in Bitcoin
Brands still arise out of that. I buy Spigen cases. Anker cables. If I want a low-cost but workable set of headphones for the kids, "MPOW" devices fit the bill. I know that Amazon Basics keyboards and mice will be satisfactory given the price.

These do emerge.
Good documentation is so important that I do not merge pull requests to my open-source projects unless they're accompanied by documentation (with the exception of minor cosmetic changes). If you can take the time to code up something, you can take the time to document what you changed -- and why.

It's a travesty that this is not the norm for major open-source projects.
Google Maps certainly likes to be 'technically correct' in its path finding / recommendations. It doesn't seem to adequately take weather / saftey into account.

When there is a serious snow storm or blizzard Google Maps will inevitably tell me to use an old (but still used) county road, rather than the interstate. I assume that google thinks this path has less traffic (true) and is faster (very much not true):

1. Due to weather conditions it is very much NOT faster, but I suspect due to the lack of traffic it seems faster than the slow interstate. Plowing through this county road is quite slow in reality, but the recommendation always remains...

2. This is NOT a road you want to be on during a blizzard or heavy snow event. It is not plowed as often as the interstate, and there is little to no shoulder so if you slide around even a little there's a super high chance you end up in a DEEP ditch.

Even worse sometimes it redirects people through local neighborhoods that are plowed even LESS often, presumably because it assumes the lower amount of traffic = faster, again that's wrong on every level.

In reality plodding along on the heavily plowed interstate is both faster, AND safer, but Google Maps seems to be unable to recognize this during these kinds of conditions.
For the same reasons Europeans do, I suppose. Nothing really changes across the Atlantic.
If I'm understanding this correctly this offloads the copyright issue by making it the users responsibility to upload a rom?

No one really talks about it but the first iPod had the same approach to letting people play their thousands of mp3 files (which I imagine 99% of were obtained illegally). Apple was eventually able to create a legal marketplace for mp3s but early days it was all napster/limewire/kazaa/etc

Obviously Playstation/Nintendo roms are not as prevalent but its an interesting thought?
