Stupidier things have happened in the past. I bet more than half of HN wouldn't know that quote if you removed the "white" part, so not so unlikely that someone who doesn't know it, sends it to others as the sentiment (without the "white" part) is actually pretty good.

Again, it isn't either/or right now. It is currently cheaper to use the land and needs to, over decades that will have to change by necessity. I surely do appreciate the scale as I have family in farming and it is massive. However, land is also in demand and will only grow, eventually it won't be economical for many types of crop. Already marijuana and herbs are mostly vertical/indoors. Anything that grows in a greenhouse currently is apt for vertical/indoor farming.

Lots of innovations are underway for it. https://interestingengineering.com/13-vertical-farming-innov...

The comments here are alot like the EV comments back in 2000, can't be done, battery tech not there, no way to fuel on long trips etc etc.

Eventually the necessity will require it either due to population, climate change or other planets.

Sure, right this very moment it isn't as viable, but it is for many industries like herbs, marijuana and as you say niche products. That is how all innovations start.

Farming will still be massive on land when this happens as cattle, pigs, chickens etc need lots of land. Many of the biggest farms are cattle ranches so those won't be going anywhere much longer.
I think the problem is now, school fights are handled by actual police, so there's very severe consequences, as in criminal records, not just a suspension. So its likely no tolerance policy removes these kids or ruins their lives.

I left the bay area in 2020. Neither of those 2 really were on my mind. I haven't heard any horror stories about tech companies trying to enforce any kind of non-compete outside of CA so it never really popped in my mind.

Biggest issues were 1) no state income tax, 2) money goes a lot further, 3) gov't policies unfriendly to businesses and middle class, 4) more moderate political climate, 5) better social life.

What I miss the most is the more temperate weather and being able to grow food in my backyard.
I don't want that because I don't want anyone sent to Guantanamo. But this absurdist doublethink has to stop somewhere. The IRA were terrorists. The Weathermen were terrorists. And setting fire to a courthouse in order to change laws is, in fact, terrorism. If we can't apply laws to people we agree with, we do not live in a society of laws at all.
> Like the 3e books had rules for buying a castle and hiring guards for it. Even if no one really did that, just its presence in the book indicated possibilities outside of “run this printed campaign set in the forgotten realms”.

3e was the first open core version (and the first version designed from the ground up at WotC, rather than pre-WotC TSR), and WotC learned a lot about the first/third-part split and what worked well in core/supplement split between 3e and 5e.

What they had for this in the core in 3e wasn’t really adequate for people who wanted rules for it (and there was a first-party supplement for it). By 5e, this kind of subsystem isn’t the kind of thing that they really do much in first-party supplements, but there is prominent third-party support leveraging the open-core nature of 5e (a feature it shares with 3e):

It really looks like it's people who genuinely feel Joe Biden will be the end of america.

To look at it another way, they really expect the end of American and Joe Biden and/or Kamala Harris are just the right wing villains of the moment. You could pick anyone else from the field of Democratic politicians and they would equally be treated as the harbinger of the apocalypse.

The underlying anxiety of the alt-right (though not every single individual therein) is that 2020 was the first year when white people became a minority of the youngest (u18) demographic cohort. As most far-right adherents in the US build their politics around racial identity this is regarded by them as the onset of demographic winter, historical decline, fall of empire et.c etc.

I was actually considering something like that. That if you engage in more aggressive behavior regularly for a long period of time, your testosterone levels might stay higher on average than if you didn't.
That's just a reflection of demographics vs municipal water availability.

People really seemed to honestly feel that way about Obama... then Obama again. I expect people will feel that way about whatever Democrat eventually gets elected next too.

In my opinion, it's the biggest problem facing us. Even this COVID pandemic would have been much less expensive without an obese population, because our hospital capacity may not have been pushed to its limits. CDC says being obese triples the likelihood a person would need hospitalization:

Are you sure on the few grand per acre?

Corn yields were ~180 bushels / acre for 2020, and corn prices were [will be, since it is still being sold] $4.85, which comes out to $873 / acre. You might clear a few grand for the entire small field, but even with a second planting of winter wheat I have a hard time imagining making four figures per acre after expenses.

Apparently exercise can increase testosterone, which implies fistfights (especially frequent ones) would too; however, this article also says obesity can reduce testosterone, and I suspect that is a bigger factor:

I’m not convinced by that Intel is doomed, especially by allegations that they can no longer design a performant chip, and especially that AMD has them finished.

Not that they’re entirely without merit; Intel faces challenges that, left resolved, will spell the end of the company. Just like any other firm that ignores problems.

Most of these arguments, especially the ones of “what are they going to do about AMD?” seem short-sighted. Intel has been here plenty of times before, facing down strong AMD competition only to come back and crush them a few product cycles later. Jim Keller can only come around so often. No, AMD’s issue is that they can never hold onto that lead through enough product cycles to really make a lasting dent in market share. It’s especially unfortunate for AMD right now, as supply constraints are choking what is its best performing product in years. Can’t really claw back a ton of market share when no one can get your chips.

It’s asked by the tech tubers and other observers why Intel continues to ship old Skylake variants. Process issues with 10nm are a factor here. But I suspect there’s a big one that no one’s really discussing.

And that’s the fallout from Spectre and Meltdown.

Keep in mind that the exploits in these flaws were found in products that were 10 years back at the time they were discovered. Each new chip isn’t a ground up design, but iterations on designs that stretch back years. I suspect, that the reason we haven’t seen truly new designs in over several product cycles is that Intel is having to redo large parts of their architecture that would have otherwise been carried forward in a normal setting.
Gamers and enthusiasts may not have seen much of an impact to their apps as a result of these; none of the microcode updates results in big FPS drops in any games that I am aware of. But there were notable enterprise workloads that did. It’s often overlooked that the consumer marketplace is just one part of the larger IT ecosystem, so a redesign there is a must.

The timing of this is horrible of course, as it comes right when their new process is failing. So double-whammy there. Fortunately, or unfortunately, worldwide lack of fab capacity I think is preventing their rivals from exploiting this as much as they could.
As for RISC, I think that is an entirely different threat, and to me, far more threatening and plausible. Intel saw this and tried to get into mobile chips, But I feel x86 is intrinsically at a disadvantage there.

I’m interested to see where Intel will be at once they have a new design ready to go. We’ve been here before. Pentium 4 ended up scaling far better than the Athlon XP did, and Core 2 and Nehalem utterly crushed AMD’s offerings when they were launched after a few years of AMD on top. There’s good reason to believe they can do so again, and a big reason why we haven’t seen an attempt is because they’re continuing to undo their mistakes of the past. We’ll have to see if they can.

My two cents.

Yesssss... That's part of the issue here. I feel like people optimize for keywords because the applicant tracking systems today optimize for keywords. By the time a hiring manager gets to a resume, you've likely been filtered several times...

The challenge is those filters suck. Hence our approach to making it "conversational" or flee-flowing. Using word embedding and other clustering helps a lot.

Knowing nothing else, I'd say keeping your resume to 2 pages is critical... And make your "about" section on LinkedIn really stand out with a few key accomplishments.

If you'd like, shoot me your resume at hello@phaseai.com and we can give you specific feedback.
I may, perhaps, lack imagination, but I really can't fathom how privacy comes to a system where the fundamental artifact of creation is an ever-growing record of every transaction.

It seems like the kernel of Bitcoin is maximally open information, not secrecy. Obfuscation of transaction is possible, but any solution that could actually hide transaction information would be incompatible with the trust model that Bitcoin is based on.
We have freedom of speech, not freedom of reach.

> If they're using a dynamically typed language to do monetary calculations, it's not going to be ideal.

I think this is an inaccurate take. No one in finance is doing accounting or model estimation using Python's floats; they are using numpy's float32 (or float64) type instead. I think a more accurate version of what you're saying is that static type checking is useful when modeling complicated contracts; this might be true, but I think it's not that important, as those things aren't that liquid anyway.

Jane Street's decision to use OCaml is almost as much about hiring and history as it is about language features.
It did not take much effort on my part to get on TRT with my primary care physician. Less than 200 ng/dl free testosterone and another test to make sure it wasn't a bigger issue. Once I started within a couple month I was amazed at how much better I felt than I ever had. Even my 20s. Like vitamin D people need more than you would think and guidelines are too conservative. I could have probably had fewer issue if they would have just juiced me up with this in highschool. Rather than just let me be chronically exhausted.
>But if the reason for taking the payment is legitimate you're going to have no more problems with Bitcoin than you will with cash in this regard.

Nope. You may deposit cash into a bank and explain where it came from. Sure.

This has no relevance to how you can later try to spend your bitcoin and have your transaction frozen + end up in a police investigation where you need to try to explain why chainalysis software says you are linked to terrorism, to people who have no understanding of it. This can be especially bad if you are not in a developed country. It simply means bitcoin is not usable as a "peer to peer cash" as it was intended. With cash you will not have such problem because it has no history permanently linked to it.
>Do you avoid using cash too because criminals use it?

I probably would if cash were only used by criminals and speculators.

I agree with you here, a simple health tracker is awesome. But also it seems to me that Google has a massive incentive to get as much data about you as possible. Which means releasing devices that collect as much biometric (and location) based data as possible, and setting defaults (just like Maps location history being turned on by default) that will automatically send all of this to Google servers. And as usual with Google, the vast majority will probably be sending their health data to Google unwittingly.
That relative reduction in wages happened over the same time living standards skyrocketed (turns out if you offshore everything the newly poor people can afford slightly better material conditions because everything is so much cheaper) so you're gonna have a hell of a time separating the effects.
Regarding solar, you don't really need much land. Most residential homes can install it on their roof and this also applies to flat industrial building which do not consume a lot of energy. This also makes your solar production decentralized.

You're incorrect that you can't like or dislike the US policing system and that it doesn't affect you. If you're in the US, it affects you, because it affects society as a whole. Even if you're not in the US, the actions of the US police are worldwide news that affect everyone (see the anti-police brutality protests worldwide).

If you can walk down the street and not get stopped because you're not white, the system is affecting you, just positively.

As for "people are going to make mistakes" let me just remind you that police broke into Breanna Taylor's apartment late and night without announcing themselves and without their body cams turned on. That led to her death. First of all, that's not a mistake, that's an idiotic plan. Second of all, when people make mistakes that lead them to shoot innocent people to death, you don't get to shrug and say "people make mistakes." If you're walking around with a gun and a badge and the ability to take away people's freedoms then no, you don't get to make mistakes. You have to be held to a very, very high standard to have those abilities. And when you make a mistake like kneeling on someone's neck for six minutes until he dies while he tells you he can't breathe, that's not a mistake. That's a murder.

You acting like people coming into the streets and saying all cops are bad AFTER cops have murdered dozens of black people is ridiculous. You sound very much like Trump saying there were good people on both sides at Charlottesville.

It's similar to compare BLM protests to the attack on the Capitol. One of them was a response to people being murdered, and the other was a planned protest that was an attempt to invalidate a lawful election.

I honestly think people like you are some of the worst out there - intelligent enough to understand what's happening and yet without the moral sense to understand the difference.

Such a fucked up thing that that's legal in some parts of the world. "Ah I don't know if we should hire these people or not, let's just hire them now and if we don't need them, fire them later. We can tell them a week before or something" just fills the air with smug MBAs not understanding that some people work for a living, not for fun.
well when some people are resorting to white supremacy, of course it's a big social gap that reasonable people don't want to understand.

One other interesting factor: BMI is a rough measure with substantial room for error. Everyone likes to criticize BMI because a lean athlete can show up as "overweight" due to muscle, but the opposite is also true. If you have a lot less muscle then increased fat can show up as "normal".

I would hazard a guess that there are a lot more people with less lean muscle tissue than the 1970s, so BMI can understate how fat people are.
Then it's even more useless. Just use tethering.
Pollutants in the environment have also been increasing. The world seems about the same as it did in the 90's but the amount of microplastics, herbicides and pesticides in our water and our food has gone through the roof.
