I'm not an economist so I would really appreciate insight into a thought I've had about UBI. Let's say your rent is $1,000 per month, and the government began a universal basic income program of $500 per month for everyone. If your landlord raises your rent by $500, are you not in the same position as you were before without the UBI?

I ask this because my argument with a UBI is that it will create more money in the system, true, but there's no limitation that prevents landlords and merchants from also raising their prices with the justification that they know you have it. So to take a stab at a question: Would a UBI lead to inflation?
Below [1] Hanson explains some of the details of the argument in length.

Has Tesla indicated why they believe their insurance rates are inflated?
> Yeah, you can have a dashcam in any car ?

How about eight cameras covering pretty much all angles, that are always on, even when parked?
Not sure a coal-powered car is exactly ideal. We need a better solution
So if this not a protest against the farm bill, they should drop the facade then.

> you’ll find plenty of morally righteous violent resistance.

Sure, but we should have a sense of proportion here. Supreme court is hearing the case and the Govt has agreed to put the new law on hold for 1.5 years. Why not wait for Supreme court's judgement?

How do you justify blocking highways for over 2 months causing great economic damage to your fellow countrymen, that too during COVID times when people are struggling to put the food on the table.

I have read the bill and I am linking it here (this is Govt. Of India website). There is nothing there that can justify the violence we just witnessed.

Duolingo had (or perhaps still has?) language forums. Duolingo used 'move fast and break things' moderation, and as a result there was a constant trickle of posts by racists and perverts.
Why would you get better performance from CAD in the cloud? Doesn't a cloud server have essentially the opposite performance profile from a CAD workstation, with many more cores but much slower clock rates? CAD vendors want your workstation to have a few fast cores and several GPUs.
To be fair, art work typically doesn't inflate much either. Unless you're very successful, it deflates almost instantly as soon as the exhibition is over.

I once had somebody break into my cellar and steal an installation I'd built (a whole ton of handmade motors) for the scrap value.
Smells like money laundering.
I was more specific than "liquidity". I said "reduced spreads and lowered trading costs". It is better for you to pay less to execute a trade than to pay more for it.

I don't know what an HFT MM has to do with people manipulating the stock markets directionally.
So in any case I agree that the world needs to get its shit together and thinking about it: I have never really considered to give it a serious try to make/contribute to make that happen.
Is it that the laws are inadequately described, or just not really enforced? Most of the arguments for it not being market manipulation are just pointing to other obvious market manipulation that was never policed. If this was two hedge funds going after each other would anyone care?
I look forward to the standardization wars over what color the ponies are.
For almost all normal use cases, the Volt gen 2 is a series hybrid. The engine only runs when the battery is depleted and it operates in a non-stressed, constant rpm mode where it is supplying charge to the EV motor that is buffered by the battery. There is a parallel hybrid mode but it is only triggered under extreme conditions.
I don't know anything about the wayland API. Does this imply that windows can't have a different scaling on each screen they may overlap on? Or can a window be split across different surfaces?
> Has anyone seen these types of presentations but say 1980, except it says Japan instead?

I did read a lot of books which "Bright Heads" of US political scene wrote in nineties-eighties.

US royally f..king up its ally Japan is the biggest reason why Japan did not become a counterweight to China.

Basically, US assured China's victory when it both alienated, and weakened the Japan.

That both lead to Japan putting big money into China (Japan is China's biggest foreign investor,) and it becoming rather passive to US calls to do anything as about China after Washington finally got hit with understanding of its blunder.

I haven't seen Hungarian notation in so long. It's so painful to look at. And yet back in the day I too was convinced it was a good idea.
It was the same for me, but I like it when I can grab something that hasn't hit Courtlistener yet for, like, 50 cents. :)

It's a good message board power-up, I guess.
Having the cameras active even when the car is parked and you are not anywhere near the car is even more unusual. But super valuable in my opinion.
It was actually the same way. Outside of their slavery obligations, they were allowed to do whatever they wanted to pay back their sum to earn freedom, more or less. And of course, they did have their housing and food covered meanwhile.
Are they joking?
I wonder why they dropped support for cairo?
I found this collection of Jupyter notebooks really well done. Some basic knowledge in stochastic calculus, financial mathematics and statistics is needed.

Density based clustering with high dimensional data will tend to struggle. This is because, in high enough dimensions, you need a lot of samples to see any density. Also distances start to look very similar (from the curse of dimensionality). To get any traction on such things you need some form of dimension reduction. For something like this non-linear techniques are going to be better. If you want a pipeline of standard parts then something like:

Pretrained-CNN --> UMAP --> HDBSCAN

can turn out relatively reasonable results, especially if the UMAP you use for the clustering is to more than 2 or 3 dimensions (often 5 to 20 is good, depending on the data). You can, of course, still use a 2D UMAP to visualize the results. If you want such a pipeline packaged up then consider the PixPlot package, designed for exactly this use case, from the Yale Digital Humanities Lab: https://github.com/YaleDHLab/pix-plot

* Disclaimer: I am highly biased, as an author of both HDBSCAN and UMAP implementations.
Why not? That's generally the way it goes.

IIRC, people were free to wander on the White House lawns once upon a time.
I dont care much in either direction about Stadia but, I think there is certainly a big market for people who just want to play some games now and then without having to own a gaming rig or even a console. High fidelity will not matter so much. Simply being able to play some AAA games that you otherwise might not have been able to play will matter.
Pardon the French, this is cool as fuck! I'm gonna use this in literally everything ever.

Right, but that was sparse and unlikely to be detected, and the author is talking about the portions of the sphere which travel at near speed of light catching up to earth. If human progress is measured on the scale of reaching near-speed-of-light travel, it is easy to imagine being thousands if not millions of years off.
WhatsApp is using Status messages to try to reassure users about privacy
> Don't forget the media lied

The significance of that varies by person. If you need social reinforcement to validate your interpretation of information the media lying is certainly significant, but then if you are more reliant upon social reinforcement you aren't acting on original interpretations of the information anyways. In other words this argument is moot.
>In the years that followed, a surveillance society flourished in those rooms, a social vision born in the distinct but reciprocal needs of public intelligence agencies and private internet companies, both spellbound by a dream of total information awareness.

She sums up two decades of modern history in one sentence.

Also, her take on why antitrust approaches won't work is brand-new to me and it raises a critical point. Antitrust efforts against Standard Oil did not prevent the downstream effects of the business model, i.e., ecological disaster. They may be a necessary, albeit, temporary fix to the issue of competition in the marketplace, not the real harm inherent in surveillance for profit.

>Another thought experiment: Imagine that the America of 1911 understood the science of climate change. The court’s breakup decision would have addressed Standard Oil’s anticompetitive practices while ignoring the far more consequential case — that the extraction, refining, sale and use of fossil fuels would destroy the planet.
This happens in every thread about every subject. Most users don't know anything, any expert will tell you it's the case when their subject is discussed here. The onus is on the knowledgeable to educate and correct and help and be charitable, and we usually see this.

We shouldn't try to shame or label users without at least trying to help first. Try to improve a situation and not make things worse. That way HN gets better.
Wow.

The most “revenge” thing I ever did was to send a copy of the town’s noise bylaw, anonymously, to a nearby resident who had held a very loud “backyard concert” on labour day weekends over the previous two years.

They didn’t have one the third year.
Tell me if I'm way off here:

The clearinghouse collateral requirements in part protect the clearinghouse from things that can go wrong at the brokerage, like if Robinhood had a vulnerability that let people place huge orders without paying for them, and they were, like, put out of business overnight.
>US royally f..king up its ally Japan is the biggest reason why Japan did not become a counterweight to China.

Can you elaborate on what the United States did?
Ah, I did it for a year and started before my first child was born. At 3 weeks my body finally transitioned to polyphasic sleeping (similar time as to the transition to dvorak typing) and I was finally functioning through all the sleep deprivation. Concentration was similar to monophasic sleeping.

I could take care of the baby while my girlfriend was sleeping at night and I could go out or work on my hobbies all night (with 27m naps) without any problem. It was like I was a liberating experience, I watched the whole of society shutdown at night, but I was awake every day all by myself, it was very odd. I also realized I didn't really need a house if I could sleep anywhere, except in winter - but I started thinking I could just sleep 30m here and there (in trains, at work, in the park on a bench) perhaps with electric blankets. A real nomad lifestyle.
I also noticed that I had to force myself being productive at night as my executive function wasn't quite there - it was like my mind was used to doing nothing consciously at night, an unconscious part didn't really see a point in being awake and doing things at night - so I mostly just was sitting there, contemplating or meditating. When I made a todo list it was better.

As I also had to organize naps outside and at friends and family places it caused some tension and conflicts (I can tell some really wild stories) - and eventually, also because I didn't want to risk potential long term issues I went to 2 naps and eventually 1 nap each day.

Regarding 35 minutes, you risk entering deep sleep with 35m, at least I did when I went over 30m a nap. Or did you mean 25 minutes?
I never mentioned race. It didn’t enter the picture here [Edit: as far as I can tell but... the stuff can be subtle]. fwiw the doctor wasn’t white. Entitled, definitely. I do understand your point and would agree that white privilege is a thing.
The situation was almost the same in the Classical world. The only difference being the debt relationship was personal and not institutional.

You can do whatever you want while you pay back loans today as long as you keep your contact information current. Just try and move without informing your lenders. That can be treated as a default. And if you can do whatever you want while maintaining a suitable income to make these sort of loan repayments, your experience is an outlier for all but a very small portion of Americans.
Interesting, we’re in one of the largest crisis since decades and all these stock trading stories are popping up.

Math is still the best, most direct and fastest route towards your goal that I know of. Here below is a nice free book:

https://www.people.vcu.edu/~rhammack/BookOfProof/

In fact any intro to discrete math, real analysis, abstract algebra, number theory,..., or combinatorics book would work.
Again, this is pretty funny. It really does sound like you're saying the casino can't kick you out if you're in the middle of playing some blackjack strategy. "I'm not done yet!"

I'm pretty sure everyone retained their ability to get cash out of Robinhood, for whatever that's worth.
As with every war, you have "freedom fighters" fighting the "bad dictator" and you have "terrorists" fighting the "democratically elected leader", depending on who the media like that day - https://imgur.com/gallery/NQ67u .

Same here.. if elon/us government/whoever sides with the protesters, then starlink is the solution. If they decide that the farmers are "oposition funded extremists" (or whatever) it isn't.

Basically the only solution is the one that is independent on the government and international corporations... be it ham radio, wifi mesh networks, or some other kind of technology. Obviously all of that is easier in developed nations, where everyone can buy an extra router and a handheld radio for a price of a dinner at a shitty restaurant.
You should also consider lifespan. I'm a broken record on this but automotive gasoline engine is basically toast after 5000 to 8000 hours. That more than anything else defines the lifespan of a car.

Electric motors and fixed gears can go 25,000 to 50,000 hours before they need a rebuild. And they can be rebuilt multiple times. And the industry is talking about EV batteries that will last a million miles.

Factor that into the capital cost of owning an EV and it changes everything.

Now consider that the usual finance term for car is about a third it's expected life. Typical car lasts 15 years, typical finance is 5 years. If an EV's expected life is 30 years, vs 15 above. Then the reasonable finance term can double to 10 years.

A laser beam expanding out over light years is not a laser anymore and definitely not atom sized.
So when they reopened limited trading and prevented people who already had positions from acquiring more, how did that help their case that it was done because of their obligations to their clearing house? If they said “ok, everyone can purchase 5 additional shares” it’d be one thing. But they said “nobody can acquire to own more than 5 shares”. Some of those shares people owned were already settled....
If you go to the source of that graphic, you can find more info. The Tesla’s are fairly high on the cost scale, particularly when comparing to other cars (as opposed to SUVs and trucks which typically have heavy duty components and more expensive maintenance)

It's sad that you have a blind spot as to the benefits that have been afforded to you by society that others do not have. And, of course, since you cannot experience what life is like on the other side, you will continue to have this blind spot and deny that you have it.

Unfortunately leds have made light pollution worse.

Instead of pocketing the difference in greater photon production efficiency the trend has been to just make things brighter.(where they really don't need to be)

Not to mention, not just lighting use, but lighting design needs a complete rethink in the age of leds. Much nighttime lighting, public and private used to cast a nice, pleasant glow, now very often led nighttime lighting is far too bright, and produced in wavelengths that can be quite unpleasant on the eyes, and registers as cold, sterile, and unnatural.

The problem of light pollution is not solely about energy wastefulness. Light pollution disrupts natural rhythms and ecosystems. The blotting out of the night sky is a great loss for the human soul and human experience.
Hi. Could you elaborate on what features exactly you have in mind?
Yes, there appears to be good talent there. All the darkish patterns also add up to a really high conversion.

Also, Perl is apparently the backend, which gives me a bit of nostalgia.
Had to read this twice, I think you meant to comment on this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25972111
There should be an alternate justice system for academic crimes such as cheating.
In practice, a PHEV like the Volt is more reliable and has less maintenance than an ICE vehicle. The engine in the Volt only runs in the rare cases where the battery charge is low. When it does run, it generally runs at a constant, low stress RPM while supplying power to the electric motor with buffering from the battery. This is generally acting like a series hybrid. (The parallel hybrid mode is only activated in some rare cases). The result is that the EV motor is used for most miles and the gas engine lives a rather pampered life.

The car also keeps track of gas miles and gives you an estimate for remaining oil life. Under typical usage, that results in an oil change every couple of years. I think that the spark plugs are 100K plugs so they will eventually need replacing but not often.
It's just as likely that we all greet our future AI grandchildren, as they will be us.
Way better prices. Saving about $3000 a year on two cars compared to Geico. But only available in the US for now as you may be aware.
The simple answer is that you don't need the full bitrate video to have a decent experience. I use Nvidia gamestream locally at 30 to 50 Mbps and it's basically indistinguishable from the real thing. For most people, it doesn't matter if they can't tell the difference.
> Choosing such a bad source by default pretty much wipes your credibility out.

I would buy your argument if the Republic was the only news channel reporting it.
I am not here to prove my credibility, I am stating a fact that the incident happened. I have no affiliation to any of the news channels, all I am arguing is violence was uncalled for. If you want to ignore that incident just because I cited a source that you don't like, you are welcome to ignore my comments and move on.
Setting the DisplaySize in a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-monitor.conf is the way I like solving the DPI issue. The advantage is, that even the display manager (in my case SDDM) runs with the correct DPI.

Crisis for whom?
Cable operators already offer skinny bundles with only news/sport for lower cost, so you'll get a new leg down just from that + full cord cuts. But that's just delaying the inevitable I think - they'll abandon cable TV when margins turn negative (half a decade or so), and live off their broadband businesses.
A really funny thing recently was various media dismissing "baseless conspiracy theories" about "the Great Reset," when there is clearly a very public and well documented foundation of various public officials using the term in the broader context of pushing certain agendas. One can still argue whether each of the various theories spun out of this is true or not, but it's silly to call them "baseless."
It is also about protecting minorities from the majority.
> Unless China solves for the skewed demographics in the next ten years, seems like sheep-behavior to include them in projections for the future.

True, long term, China has sealed its future, but even if you half China's population, it will still be no. 1 in pretty much everything it is no. 1 today.

Pretty much nothing aside of war, civil war, or a second cultural revolution scale political crisis can stop it overtaking USA economically in coming 1-2 decades.
I see. I guess it's technically possible for a cloud vendor to temporarily attach several GPUs to your CAD render, and afterward reassign them to someone else, therefore bringing the utilization up and the price down, it just doesn't seem like such a big market opportunity when a $20k workstation isn't that important next to the cost of the software and its operator.
