You shouldn't see downvoting as a personal attack.

It's simply a way to express disagreement with the statement.

How else would one signal agreement or disagreement if not by up- or downvoting? Would you rather have everyone answer with "I agree" or "I disagree"?

Maybe Hacker News simply attracts more US readers than non-US readers and thus they are bound to disagree with any criticism.
History shows that the drug war in the US was racially motivated from the very beginning.
I am clearly stating that raising cows and livestock for meat are better than industrial crops ground up with food coloring and odd shapes.

Eating cow and livestock meat is better for people and environment.
God do I hate it when a function is broken down into sub functions that are only called once for the sake of readability. And then these sub functions themselves are broken down too until you have Bob Martins magical 5 to 10 line functions.

On the surface that looks like clarity, but when do you have to look at that code? Often when you need to fix an issue or extend a functionality. You need to understand what's going on in detail.

When you debug a workflow or Algorithm in a code base like this you have to jump from one function to the next and suddenly you are 6 layers deep and totally lost the context. It is so much harder to grasp code structured like this compared to simple linear flows where each step is marked by inline comments.
> JD is considered to be the "terminal" degree for law.

No, that's the SJD.

> While its technically the "standard and lowest law degree"

No, that is the BSL, though most students pursuing law get a different baccalaureate degree and then enter a JD program. JD is a first-professional degree, not the lowest degree in the field.

> LLMs for people with foreign law degrees can be worth while

Also, IIRC, an LLM is a cheaper and quicker alternative to an ABA-accredited JD as a qualification to sit for the bar exam in certain jurisdictions, if you are already admitted to practice in a foreign jurisdiction.
Azure Front Door: An Overview
There are definitely bubbles in real life, but they are far less insular and toxic. I can't "unsubscribe" from a person that I work with. Everyone around me shares in a lot of the content that I see. Content streams like TV channels give me the ability to switch channels and see what others are seeing.

Like you said, the internet takes this to a whole different level, and then takes control away from me. How do I tell Youtube that I'm just interested in researching Qanon, and not that I want to be recommended it? How do I tell facebook to stop recommending me content related to some topic? I can't change the channel anymore, and I'm at their mercy. That's a huge problem.

RSS is fantastic in that it gives you complete control over your content streams, but there's still something missing to let you "change the channel."
Actually, the way we wrote the data, you don't need a complex reader system. Illuminating the spot where the data was stored with a laser beam would project a 2d image, like a large QR-code, which any camera could pick up. So the reading equipment would rather easy to replicate.

Why would you assume it would work this way? My assumption is that it most definitely would not be.

And even if it did, being dependent upon your employer-employee relationship for housing sounds pretty risky. I get that you might be in a position to not worry about that risk so much, but I think accepting things like that starts to set a dangerous precedent. It's already bad enough that we in the US already depend on our employers for health insurance.
Oops sorry, I knew that but forgot, my apologies!
It would be a strong evidence if the linking were the opposite way.

If I link to the potus piterest page from my twitter page, it would not mean anything.
> They are saying to go downmarket because it will be cheaper

Ah, yes, the Tesla strategy. Tesla also keeps issuing more shares and has failed to deliver a $20k-$30k Civic/Accord competitor.
In the US? Can you point to sources?

Please lets not extrapolate from outliers though.

You would also develop and deploy against closure using simple for your dev workflow and only run advanced more infrequently. Advanced also gives deeper type schecking. I have not worked with closure compiler in years, but it is a different and incredibly powerful beast. Easily extendible with your own compile passes as well
Sure there are, but we don't have enough surface area on this planet to replace industrial meat production with sustainable farms without a vast decrease in output.

I just added a few screenshots in the README: https://github.com/appaquet/exomind

As for the Gmail integration, it is quite crude at the moment. I use it mostly to organize incoming emails, but I still use Gmail to send or reply to my emails. Exomind inbox is synchronized with Gmail, so all emails that you remove from one or the other get removed / archived on the other side. It also supports multiple accounts.

If you are interested to try and not afraid of the rough edges, just let me know. I added Discussions to the GitHub repository.

Binsta App Review 2021
Essentially all von Neumann architectures have different sizes for code and data. Von Neumann's own IAS, for example, packed two instructions in each data word.

Even many machines that started out with one instruction per data word (ARM, MIPS, Nova...) eventually evolved to larger data words while keeping the same instruction size. An exception was the PDP-8, but there might have been others.

The IBM 360 had 32 bit data words but instructions were 16, 32 and 48 bits long.

A modern example is RISC-V. A RV64GC chip, for example, has 64 bit data words but the instructions are 32 and 16 bits wide.
Flipping with atheism is totally missing the point though.
This little Chicago startup with zero consumer complaints was shut down by the FDA under pressure from eye doctors in 2019. Then after COVID-19 happened they petitioned the FDA to reopen and the bureaucrats said as long as any eye doctor can see patients using your service we will agree.

a poster addressed that, and now you have 4 more questions, none related to nutrition - and, hilariously, prefaced by the common but ridiculous "the question is" (implying there's one) rhetorical device.

this style of dialog is really tiring.
Having lived many years in both a miserable, acrimonious two parent household, and a post-divorce situation - my personal opinion is the latter is, unintuitively, far more harmful long term for the kids. But the former is so much worse for the parents that I don’t think it’s worth it to, say, stay together until they leave the nest. If that were possible without total loss of sanity, I think it would be better. But the divorce was decidedly not amicable so I don’t know what that’s like.
UPS. You can't forget big brown for logistics.
Given that one can track the roots of present "movement conservative" partisan media back into the 80s (maybe even as far as Ailes' shortly-after-Nixon claim that he could have avoided impeachment with supportive media), and even that is hardly the first partisan media phenomenon in the history of US or even Western Culture... Ravikant's statement doesn't make sense as an analysis, unless there's a case that commodification we're talking about not only pre-dates the internet it's actually older than electric cities.

(Ravikant's statement does make sense as a certain kind of evocation common to business/tech figures.)
It's all about the context.

When you ask your father why something is done a certain way, you're seeking information. You're not questioning the competence of his field or implying that you have seen an obvious solution that his entire field has simply missed.

However, when engineers say "This change will require 4-6 weeks" and their boss says "Can't you just add a form field and run a database migration and ship it tonight?", the boss is casting doubt on the team's assessment of the situation and their competency in executing.

The demeaning nature varies with intent. If someone is asking a simple question ("Why can't we just ship it tonight? Help me understand") it's nowhere near as bad as a boss waiving away objections with an over-simplified order ("Just change the code and ship it tonight!")
Antonio Garcia Marquez’s employment history includes quanting at Goldman Sachs, founding an advertising startup, and working at Facebook. I don’t feel as if I can take the arguments made here at face value, knowing how much money—for the author personally and through his involvement with the aforementioned companies—is at stake in the changes to journalism being described.

A carbon-tax funded UBI would be popular, but ideally wouldn’t funding from a carbon tax go towards sequestering the carbon and other green initiatives instead of giving it back to consumers to spend on high-carbon goods and services?

Yes, but they don't tend to eat much in the way of highly-processed meat simulants crafted from plants.
Small nitpick: YouTube does have RSS feeds for every channel (and playlist), they just don’t have an icon in their UI linking to it
It's still true today.

The ubiquitous 64-bit ARM has 32-bit instructions and 64-bit data registers.
I’m fine with them having non-dairy beverages, but they aren’t “substitutes” nutritionally just because they have milk in the name. If your 1 year old is drinking almond milk (30cal and 1g protein per 8oz) instead of whole milk (150 cal and 8 gr protein per 8 oz), you need to adjust what you’re feeding, just like you would if you were giving any other drink.

The issue is some people seem to assume liquids that are labeled milks are actually like each other in some way that goes beyond flavor and texture.
Urine drug tests don't test for active inebriation. They test for metabolite presence, which for cannabis can linger for up to a month depending on a number of factors. That's why drug testing is not the answer to your problem.

The hard drugs that tend to have more destructive effects don't even show up on a urine drug test for much longer than 72 hours. So, while the person who only smokes weed after work in the evening is at risk of being caught by a drug test, the person who gets off on Friday, goes on a cocaine binge, and then tests clean on Tuesday or Wednesday has nothing to worry about. Which would you rather have in your employ? I'd choose the pothead over the cokehead without hesitation.
Tesla has also proved the market and accelerated the EV roadmaps of most of the other car manufactures.

This point comes up a lot. About 1 in 8 Americans live in apartments where charging may prove a challenge.[1] And this number will only increase in the future. This demographic will also be living closer to city centers where retail charging points will be an incentive while eating out or doing errands.

And that's exactly the problem right there.

Islamists and Christians will disagree on this because they feel that 'their set of facts' is the one true set.

But the fact is: both of these positions have very poor support, which is why theology is not a branch of science. That a lot of people believe this and that those people can subvert democracy to give their 'alternative realities' preferential treatment is one of the major reasons most forms of government try hard to keep religion out of government. This usually doesn't succeed 100% but at least they recognize that there is something not ok about this.
Tried. You have to have a doctor verify that gas caused injuries. Doctors did not want anything to do with a lawsuit.

Plus they had no idea what 3 months of natural gas exposure would do to body.

Turns out most cases of being exposed to that much and that long simply end in explosion.

This is very accurate. I spent 10 months in the Saudi Arabian desert as a young airman during Desert Storm in '90-'91. I experienced 3 or 4 sand storms and the enormity of them overwhelmed everything with an orange/tan/yellow hue. I also witnessed sandstorms wear down paint on vehicles to shiny bare metal!!

Observable facts about Bill Gates do not make fantasy stories that fit those observable facts true.
Even on relatively small projects (1k-10k LOC), I incorporate this, broadly, into my README file for my repo: what are the various use cases, which components do what, in one sentence what are the main functions contained in each of the source files, sometimes a flow diagram showing which functions call which other functions.
My parse of "minimizing code" is that it's an approach to writing code, with the goal of writing less code. I would expect it to include things like terse idioms, DRY, preferring data over code, preferring configuration over code, preferring libraries over rolling your own, managing scope, etc. All things about writing different code, which solves the problem but is not always semantically equivalent.

By contrast, minification is mechanical semantic-preserving syntax transformations done to a completed program after it written.
The protein yield per acre for soybeans vs mung beans is 6x. No amount of try hard is going to make mung bean protein close in price to soy.

What gets me is that I can’t even source tofu that is cheaper than chicken. Chickens are very good reactors for turning carbohydrates into protein.
would this lead to era of enhanced employee loyalty to the Company? For example, if the company town provides comforts of a well supplied, suburban AND closed-gate lifestyle for workers and their families, people would think many times over before leaving the company.

This phenomenon is present in Saudi Arabia - Abqaiq (Spelling) and Ras-Tanura are both company towns for Aramco Oil Company and even Universities like King Fahd University (KFUPM) has comfortable, suburban-style residential quarters for its Faculty.

In fact, driving through Abqaiq and Ras-Tanura would seem as if you are magically transported to suburbs of USA. I kid you not.

Yeah, I indeed spend some effort to steal the fonts from asciidoctor and https://www.teamten.com/lawrence/programming/ (highly recommend both).

And yes, I myself am struggling with ragged right. I really wish to have proper text hyphenation and justification, to have a book-like feel. Sadly, justification without hyphenation looks ugly, and `hyphens: auto` doesn’t work well (and wasn’t supported in chrome last time I checked).

I am pretty baffled that such basic (in terms of impact, not in terms of complexity of implementation) feature isn’t widely available.

Although I am not a web designer, so I might be missing some simple way to solve this.

I am an apprentice avalanche educator. This piece does a really nice job summarizing the world of recreational avalanche risk management, most particularly the so-called "human factors" portion. "Nature doesn’t kill people with avalanches. People kill people with avalanches."

When I read it last year, I shared it with some experienced friends. Their consensus was similar, and we were grateful for it. It's often difficult to communicate the lengths we go to keep ourselves safe in avalanche terrain to folks unfamiliar, and this article captures the nuance well.
Most boys learn to mask their emotional state once the teenage years roll around owing to various vectors of messaging. I fear too many people are relieved by the ease of interface this brings about, but it can and usually is very deceptive. The consequent lack of communication just makes a void that gets filled with all sorts of terrible information about being "CHAD OR NOT" amongst other garbage that has to be unlearned.
One really nice feature you get is that if Amazon decides they want to delete the book from your kindle they can. It's a nice feature for Amazon and the publishers love it as well.
You're right, since I'm frequently using templated functions I encounter this issue quite often, but here when I wanted to give an example I forgot I needed to be in a dependent context. I guess I'd better test my example next time I want to give one...
This is a really cool video. They are recreating the EDSAC and the memory it used is really weird. Originally they used mercury but because it's so expensive and difficult to work with they decided to go with nickel wires which is a similar tech that was introduced a few years later.
Collapse of Roman Empire led to creation of European nations because it left huge vacuum space. Rest is history; Europeans fought nonstop for power and domination. It is in human nature to compete and dominate, nationalism is no different.
Thanks to people like him now we have a system like CaptionCall. You call a person or person calls you, the call is forwarded to a special phone number designated to you for free.

People with that disability now are doing interviews and getting jobs. Not possible before. It needs one time investment in a fast smartphone.

The two aren’t mutually exclusive. It’s always a process failure when something like this happens. Sometimes it’s also an individual failure.
Well anyway it's nothing but your opinion and not rooted in any objective truth. Society imposes all sorts of teachings or value judgments upon kids, way before "developed minds can make their own choices" - We say that lying is "wrong" even if it's beneficial for you sometimes to lie and not "well let's let the kids decide if they think lying/stealing/cheating is wrong".

Everybody who doesn't live in a cave and learns about religion also quickly learns about critics of religion and thus becomes familiar with the position of atheists and agnostics.

Your take is in no way more special than the usual anti-theistic edgy rhetoric trying to pretend and maintain a false sense of "neutrality". Everyone who thinks that they are right on something will try to influence people towards their own worldview, implicitly or explicitly, hidden or obvious, anyone who claims otherwise is just lying to themselves and to others.

Some people claim that France and its school system are "neutral", but anyone who has visited a french school knows this to be untrue, it's clearly hostile towards, not only religion, but religious people.
Don't most game engines use their own shader language to some extent? I assume they're all GLSL or HLSL but with some extra syntax catered to game engine needs, though.

Her problem is a good problem to have. Mine is not.

That means people in Maryland are readily receiving the vaccine and between whoever has already been infected, those who are likely to survive infection with little consequence and the daily increase of people who are now vaccinated, the entire State of Maryland is becoming more resistant by the day which will do as much to mitigate risk to her parents as everything else.

A 95% effectiveness rate still means that every 5 out of a hundred vaccinated people will still be vulnerable to infection post-vaccination. Either one of her parents could be one of those 5.

Given we have now reached the point that society will refuse to open up properly until we have vaccinated tons of people, let’s get people vaccinated, lots of them and quickly.
It was quite magical the first time I saw the red dust on my car. I put some of it in a vial, as it came from far, far away.

Miniaturization and ruggedization for practical applications will require a lot of work. Not only are the atoms contained in a heated tube, but, unlike atomic clocks, sophisticated tunable laser technology must also be employed. So only very high value missions, like large satellites or ground installations are practicable.
Try it and it will quickly become apparent. Most of the concepts we work with are fuzzy and dependent on many implicit understandings that are very hard to formalize in satisfying manner. In particular, a contract must be willingly entered by the participants, which in itself is a very hard to formalize concept (e.g. if I am dying of hunger and believe that my only chance of eating is to enter this contract, am I willingly accepting it or am I being compelled? How is this different from someone putting a gun to my head and telling me to sign?)

Note that what I'm thinking of here is a formal definition that is rigorous enough to be able to apply formal mathematical methods to reason about it.
