Ah, pardon me, I googled "new age mysticism" and it seems off, what I had in mind was more so things like Eastern religions, and general ideas about the oneness of the individual with humanity and the universe, that sort of thing.

All of your allegations, these we shall accept as fact without evidence I take it?

Maybe it's me, but I was quite happy with my VAMS experience. CDC notified me by email that I was eligible. My data was pre-populated. Signed up for an appointment quickly and got messages reminding me of appointment.

Considering that this came out of nowhere, I was impressed how quickly and easily I got a vaccine. Big thanks to the Army who ran the vaccination site.
In our current legal system, yes, you don't have any property rights over pieces of your DNA that you unavoidably leave all over the place as you go about your life.

Do you think we should? If so, how would you go about enforcing such rights?
Modi bhakts would be on the side of sikhs surely. Sikh community is the reason Hinduism survives in large parts of India. The people you are calling “sikhs” were throwing policemen off heights. Do they get to kill without impunity? What are you defending here exactly?
Many of them are buying because they're being told it's a way to hurt the people who caused the 2008 financial crisis. In reality, they don't have a good idea of who's benefiting and who's losing, nor what those parties may have done to cause the financial crisis.

Does anyone have an idea why my Raspberry Pi 1 (2011) won't boot with a specific SD card?

I did a full writing/reading test by md5summing the reading result with the test data and it seems perfectly fine.

I had Raspbian installed on that SD card before and it booted, but now it won't boot anymore, no matter how many times I flash it. Other SD cards work fine.

Majority of people who support BJP, are much more in propaganda than trump supporters. They're past denial, they literally build up stories of master strokes, tho all of them were mega failures.
We have a PM who is afraid of press conferences, who only speaks on his own air time. Never takes questions. I sometimes watch the comments under news channel sites they're a cesspool of hatred.
No... they also put caps on how much stock you can buy for a particular symbol. They are basically controlling the volume and direction of trade for some of these symbols on their platform...
Yeah, police will control a rioting mob anyway they can. Maybe don’t brandish swords, try to run over public and police and attack people in your peaceful protest?
> The 'Tesla can not make money without credits' storyline will hold up maybe a 1-2 more quarters.

I don't think that is what the article is trying to say. I think what the article is trying to say is that with the valuation is so high, Tesla doing well might not equate to increased gains in the share price.

They print at the bottom also says that fool.com both owns and recommends tesla stock.
I have worked with Deloitte type consultant in the past. It was exactly what I was expecting. A couple 20-something dressed up in suits, really good at talking and bullshitting high level visions.

Very little technical knowledge overall. It was a disaster.
never mind all the accessibility rules you have to follow (keyboard navigable, alt text for screenreaders for images, minimum contrast for sight impaired, constrained color scheme for colorblind, etc). . . that greenfield SaaS app made by 5 22 year olds isn't going to cut it here.
Prevous attempts at taking a regular CPU architecture and turning it into a GPU haven't worked so well --- it's what Intel attempted many years ago --- so I'm not too optimistic about how this will turn out. Then again, the boring and uniform nature of RISC-V may be more suitable to mass parallelisation in a GPU than as a CPU.

Wow... I am honoured and embarrassed that my very old article about building a web search engine in PHP is on that list.

I should replace it with how to do it in a language I actually like working with one of these days... and generally improve it because its missing all sorts of niceties such as skip lists on the posting lists, binary formats for saving things.

I also noticed all the code is missing as a result of the conversation from Wordpress to Hugo... fixing that now.

EDIT - fixed, but might need a refresh from anyone who visited it.
> Development is literally the simplest part of the problem set.

This is the single most important and insightful sentence that a lot of HN-ers are going to read today, and they don't even know it.
I believe the parent comment is trying to defend a "complexity science" approach to the world. Adherents would argue that all these "fuzzy patterns" (conspiracy-thinking, some might say) stem from shared generalized properties of networks operating in different substrates and scales and energy transitions. Societies, companies, cities, ants, cells, forests, biofilms, minds, languages, storytelling, social conflict, river networks, etc etc infinity.

https://www.santafe.edu/culture/podcast

If you feel like it, pls do listen to this popular podcast by the Santa Fe Institute, and you'll hear them connecting things rather frenetically. Some adherents ground all this in rigorous science, but others participate very effectively as amateurs, guided by pure intuition/creativity that's often complementary and comparably fruitful. Complexity science offers an approach that elevates metaphor to a curious form of information/knowledge. Some amateurs in the community just participate in this "rhyming game" of networks, and leave the hard science to others in the community. That works fine.

Cormac McCarthy (of "The Road" and "No Country For Old Men" fame) has been hanging out with these folks for decades, and participating in their discussions even though he lacks the scientific underpinnings. These's a symbiosis of sorts between the hard and soft "scientists" doing this work. Adam Curtis sounds like he's one of the "soft" researchers. If you can't straddle this fuzzy boundary, it doesn't mean it's not real wisdom they're chewing on -- it's just not the sort everyone can easily stomach/navigate/sift imho, just as some don't have the neurotype to excel in deep programmatic thinking)

Anyhow, thanks for the opportunity to think this through out loud :)

Please read again. I said, that violence is the reason 100s of people are in delhi jail now (guilty or not).

& Please read again. Modi Bhakats are wishing the 1984 style sikh killings, same as their Mother india's murder started. They are not on sides of Sikh, or Muslim, or even Indian. They want India to be a piss drinker's Hindu Rashtar. I am defending & one of those group, who want India, its government & operating body free of any religious bigots, any extremists (any belief), any supremacists.

That's very well put. And likely where a lot of companies remained. It would be interesting to see how the pandemic affected those operations.
I am saying that this is the trend on all threads that are critical of the Indian government and calls out its propaganda. It's either that or down votes.

It is difficult to call out bad behavior by government.
Very nice writeup. Not at all the stack I go with, but that's fine, we're different people with different priorities and tastes.

The globalization movement that started in the 90's, have no way back. It was the right direction to take anyway..

The question is how much resilient we are to create and cultivate local stuff over the global noise.. I'm pretty sure that despite the difficulty of the task, we can handle it..

But we must have the proper tools to make it flourish.. but my fear is that while we are figuring out all this, some big players decide to replay the titanic wars devouring their children before they get too powerful..

Its not happening yet, because there are barely no threats, but once they start to show up and become trends, i don't expect them to play nice.

And with all the power and control "they" have, it will not be like any old industry vs. newcomers we have witnessed before.

(BTW the matrix app being kicked out of peoples cell phones might be a sign of what will come)
I am not quite sure what are you looking for specifically, but if you are looking for a good book that teaches critical thinking from the academic philosophy perspective focusing on arguments, rhetoric and logic, I highly recommend the book "Critical Thinking: A Concise Guide" by Tracy Bowell and Gary Kemp. Only 300 pages of well written text (IMO). Hope this helps, and if not...it is still a quite useful and good book.
I think it’s a pretty cool tool. Although most publicly offered hashes will state what type, I can see a use for quickly identifying unknown hashes.
> and they get very offended at any suggestion that this psychedelic simply messes with one’s neuroreceptors for a time

Perhaps the "simply" doesn't belong in there - messing with neuroreceptors may be all it does at a biological level, but what happens at the neurological level when those neuroreceptors are messed with is not adequately covered by the word "simple".

Neuroscience make no claim to have any kind of a sophisticated understanding of these other-wordly phenomenological experiences, so I'm not sure where you are getting information superior to that.
No, they said all people who are ALREADY here (on it before 2014) and were promised protection and citizenship at the time of partition will have that promise fulfilled. Everybody and people of all kinds get citizenship using the same rule as before, there are no bans or changes.
The main reason for me is that Postgres can be backed up while online, and I can scale up to multiple servers if I suddenly need to. Not so much with SQLite where if a small project suddenly hit the front page of whatever I would suddenly need to get really creative.
I am on my second i3+rex. I love the things to pieces.

In the US the rex comes on when the main battery is down to 7% charge. (Europe or re-coding the car allows you to set when it comes on -- up to 75% I believe? I haven't coded either of mine) You can actually outrun the rex engine with the right combination of high speed, climbing grade, or cold weather. If it gets to 0% the car will literally shut down. A serious warning appears at 2% about this.

I've never had mine below 2.5% (there is a setting on the driver display that allows you to display this number). It takes uphill driving over 75mph in cold to really draw down those last few % and outrun the range extender.

The rex tank is 9L, so it adds about 70-100mi to the total range of the car depending on how you drive it. We add a few gallons a year to ours, as the EV itself is sufficient -- it's great for those surprises life throws you where you need another few miles.

Modi is India's Trump I hear. Lot of similarities except for the genocide.
It depends on the car, using the charger that you connect on a classic household plug some do not really mind a bad grounding while some other will refuse to charge.

But it's not too difficult to fix that if you get a charger installed.
Careful with your line of reasoning.

There is a difference between "ageism", and "being honest about how hard some problems are to solve".

There are a lot of unbelievably brilliant 22-year-olds.

None of them have been building enterprise-scale architectures that turn messy, vague, and incomplete requirements that model even more messy, vague, and incomplete business processes for 20 years.
I sort of meant to include music as part of "going to a bar". You can find good live music in some parts, depending on the genre. Like bad college jam bands? Move to Gainesville. Like afro-funk, punk and indie? Move to Miami. Like bad cover bands? Probably all large cities in Florida got you covered. Alternately, few national/international bands actually tour down into Florida, or only hit a few towns.

As someone who moved from Florida to the Northeast, the biggest drawback to Florida is the outdoors. It's warm, humid, there's showers half the time, bugs everywhere, there are no seasons or elevation. So what you're left with is water sports [minus surfing].

It also lacks culture. Not so much music, but any other form of art that isn't centered around Wynwood only exists as much as the elderly will invest in it. Compare to Baltimore, a tiny northeast city with a crap economy, which has probably more arts diversity than all of Florida combined [outside of Miami]. Why? Everybody sits in their house or goes to the bar. Why be an artist when you can do heroin on the beach?

And the people really are garbage. I was one of those garbage people. I changed so much after moving away. I don't even know why. I just know when I left, everywhere I went, people seemed nicer.

If you just want to live alone and still be able to go to the beach, there are an infinite number of cities on either coast where you can do that without all those downsides. I dunno. Maybe there are reasons people move to Florida other than the weather. I personally cannot fathom it.
Having seen Federal Govt contracting it’s easy to see how this works. And it’s a 2 way street of dysfunction:

- Many fed agencies have little tech savvy or ability to evaluate solutions

- Feds can have complex, mandated processes for software procurement, development and deployment that must be followed. This drives up the cost and limits the companies that choose to bid.

- There’s not much of a “get sh*t done” attitude. There’s little consequence for the individuals that managed a failure on both sides. Usually “oh well, another day at the office!” is the norm for many federal agencies/contractors.

- buzzword chasing tech ignorant administrators that consulting firms readily take advantage of - “yes! But does it have machine learning!?”

- there’s many fiefs at these agencies that must be navigated: “Oh! Wow - you spent 6 months building and it’s time to deploy? The security team really hates CYZ tech and we’ll have to escalate this to the director”

- so many g-d stakeholder to please and woo: from managers to administrators to political appointees and congresspeople. The relationship cost can be staggering.

These stereotypes aren’t always the case - some govt groups can actually execute really well. But many of these points dominate sadly.
at least in feudal times the peasants knew they didnt have a say in the matter

Our society should stop feeding children lies about systemic inclusivity.

It's easy to bash poor work by Deloitte (rightfully so), but this reflects decades of poor decisions by the Federal government. The number of Federal employees has remained constant for 30 years so that politicians can claim the Federal government isn't expanding; but the budget has ballooned. The balance all goes to contractors. They need Deloitte because they have lost the capability to do anything themselves.

To make a sweeping generalization which doesn't give enough credit to some amazing groups, the Federal government does not have people who are capable of managing complex IT projects. The government has outsourced so much work that it no longer has personnel who are capable of knowing what is going on. Federal workers are competent in managing contracts, but not actual work. So when you arrive at a new and complex project (like widely distributing a vaccine for an unforeseen global pandemic), they don't know what to do. How do you write that in a contract and enforce it?

That doesn't even begin to get in to the requirements around what it takes to launch a production IT system while meeting government cyber security requirements/processes. A lot of comments here are lamenting how easy this is. Let me set it straight: you cannot launch a random Django/Rails MVP in the government. They don’t operate that way, for reasons good and bad. The fact that Deloitte had something in production in under a year, no matter how buggy, is a minor miracle.
The Godi media you are watching does not show the Delhi police trampling over Tiranga, slashing tires, shooting tear gas over a distance of less than 20 feet, blocking the route agreed upon.
I think the fact that it's easy to make infinite accounts on reddit will end up showing this is a mob started by a dozen or so people to profit off of this.
Your chart literally shows a line over a decade 'going very quickly towards $0'.
I highly highly recommend reading Ranjan Roy's latest piece on GameStop [1]. It paints an amazing picture to dispel the narrative that's prevalent in the media of Reddit et al. driving the short squeeze. Just as an example from the article, there was a single buy order for 187 million dollars. When Reddit is hailing a young trader with 50 million in assets as the next coming of Jesus (not to downplay him, great job!), it's pretty obvious no one from WallStreetBets is capable of making that order. Though that example is only from this week, it's evidence of big money being well into this play, and I don't think it's a stretch at all to say much of the short squeeze was engineered by them.

One of the vendors I had the "pleasure" of working for re-implemented Salesforces' approval system in APEX due to an obscenely minor requirement that should have been pushed back on.

It's completely believable that Deloitte might have built a handful of boondoggles like that and dressed it up as a "Salesforce" project.

Marijuana may be the solution for you but I highly recommend checking out The Sinclair Method. There is an awesome book [1] about it and also a great Reddit community [2] for support.

Long story short, your brain is addicted to the endorphin rush that results after consuming alcohol. You can abstain for a period of time but due to the alcohol deprivation effect your urges to drink alcohol only increase as you abstain for longer periods of time (hence the AA mantra "Once an alcoholic, always an alcoholic.") The Sinclair Method gets around this by attacking your brains relationship with the alcohol endorphin rush. Long story short, you take an opioid antagonist (endorphin blocker) before you drink, typically Naltrexone or Nalmefene, which slowly trains your brain to no longer associate alcohol with pleasure. Check out the book for more information.

I was a heavy drinker and alcohol was destroying my life and after 4 months of TSM, I was drinking at a safe level and now one year later I am completely sober. I could continue to drink if I wanted to, with Naltrexone, but at this point I am ready to start a new life without alcohol and leave that all in the past. I believe 40% of TSM users choose to abstain completely and the other 60% choose to drink socially in moderation. It is up to you, which highlights the power of this system. Having complete control over my drinking after being out of control for years is nothing short of a miracle.

(You may also run into systems where you take Naltrexone on days that you don't consume alcohol. This is something different, and it may work for you, but my experience is with TSM which requires you only take Naltrexone before drinking)

The author of Z3, Leo de Moura, released Lean 4 milestone 1 about 3 weeks ago: https://github.com/leanprover/lean4

Lean 4 is a functional programming language and theorem prover that compiles to C. A lot of research went into making Lean 4 blazingly fast https://leanprover.github.io/publications/

Galois inc reproduced benchmarks by the Lean 4 devs that show that Lean 4 regularly outperforms the C++ stdlib.

This is an awesome mix of raw speed, functional programming, and formal software verification.
I think you're being a bit overdramatic.

Gay rights is the only civil rights related thing that's significantly changed since the 90s.

What rights did women not have in the 90s that they have now? Has date rape decreased in the West now? All I hear is that it's just as bad now as then.

The 90s like every time in history had unique problems. HIV/AIDS for example (still a huge problem, STIs are actually on the rise in the US). This time has its own unique problems the 90s did not (the rise of conspiracy theories, the rise of nationalism, the rise of the far-right, etc.) and those affect everyone.

Life isn't continual progress. Just because some things have changed for the better doesn't mean others haven't changed for the worse
