PBS Space Time recently explained what the present time means within general relativity[1]. As I understand it... it matters in this context.

[1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EagNUvNfsUI
It looked like they were quoting time as it would appear for an earth-local observer (i.e. a million light-year away supernova that showed up five minutes ago happened "five minutes ago" not 1 million years and five minutes ago.

With your personal light cone, it's fine to equate "now" with what you see in the moment. It just has to be clear what you mean for situations where communication might be ambiguous. If you have a person on mars, be sure to be precise what you mean when you tell them to do something in five minutes, when they receive the message they won't know if you mean five minutes after they receive the message or anywhere between 17 minutes before and 2 minutes after they receive the message.

When you get into relativistic speeds (and especially very short time intervals), nobody can even agree on when something "actually" happened, different observers have different opinions about what happens when even after you account for light travel time.

Yeah I sold my 1660 GTX for £40 more than I paid for it after 2 years. Was shocked.
> Offhand I am not quite sure what the damage from off-nominal frequency operation

I can think of at least a couple potential issues:

* If the grid frequency is lower than the frequency the machine is trying to turn, it's possible for the generator to jump forward and mechanically slam forward to the next pole.

* Some turbines have problems running too far off rated speed. (IIRC, torsional resonance issues.)

Another way to look at it, as I see it, this would certainly make Facebook better for their product (users) while making it worse for their actual customers (those who want the user's data).
You can use clouds like these with your own cryptography software. A matter of using something standard while not giving the cloud provider your public key. As long as they allow you to specify the backup location (which I don't know if they do), this should be doable. If they don't allow this that is a more severe issue.
You're correct. They're facing political fallout over their public statements and I'm enjoying that. I 100% would not find it amusing if their kids had to eat cold beans because their power was out.
> This smells like a failure driven entirely by inappropriate cost optimization.

Exactly. Due to the nature of the Texas climate, peak capacity will track summer demand and not account for once-in-a-lifetime freezes. We need proper planning and enforcement to ensure that we can output as much in the winter as we can in the summer. Hopefully it's as straightforward as weather-proofing our existing capacity. As you said, wind generation works fine in much colder climes.

If a significant part of our capacity can't produce in cold weather, it should be phased out in favor of capacity that can. I'd love to see that be Canadian-style windmills, if that turns out to be able to produce consistently in winter (I have some doubt here because of the very low projections for our existing wind output, but perhaps more robust turbines will do much better). If wind turns out not to be able to meet that need sufficiently, then perhaps we should focus some of the subsidies on capacity that can. What we should never do is defend one preferred generation source without regard to whether it can supply what Texas actually needs, which is capacity that can produce consistent output in both summer and winter.
Doesn't that require global absolute fixed grid?
Ah fair call. I had not factored in his Zionist views.

I think he has apologised for that one but it still shows some genuine racism.

The problem for me, in a fairly blue area, is that everything we try to do gets smacked down by the state.

Since this state is so divided between the rural and urban areas, the democrats have to find a way to address the issues of the rural populace in order to heal the us vs them divide.
It's ownership that's the problem. A would-be entrepreneur can't negotiate a 50% stake with executive rights in a bigco.
Isn’t the issue that the windmill also needs a large battery to meet demand?
Companies often select benefits providers based on ease-of use for the corporate customer rather than the end user. Shifting the purchasing decision to the end user will change incentives for the benefits providers.
Meanwhile, anytime I try to post something to Facebook, I get a notice that it's been marked as spam, and no one will be seeing it.
Did you even read the article? You keep harping on E2EE, but privacy features like "no screenshots" and "no way to record conversations" have absolutely nothing to do with E2EE. Those are UI defaults, which are a completely different domain of concern, one where these types of dark patterns typically and quickly emerge in these types of social networks.

So again-- if someone builds the same ole' shitty proprietary business model on an "at all costs" growth model that adopts an early band of scam artists, it is without a doubt undesirable to make it difficult for the future victims of those scams to collect evidence. (And it doesn't matter that one could get a screenshot, and that one could record the audio, defaults matter.)
I'm so glad the blockchain is coming to prevent and fix these mistakes in the future /sarcasm
That doesn't seem terribly tough, either, given that the Pi has 40 GPIO pins: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/physical-comput...

A push button is literally one of the most trivial things you can wire up to GPIO. You can also interact with GPIO in Python pretty easily: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio/python/...
Show HN: Kanban board that helps Engineers learn Marketing
This book is a great short manifesto on exactly that point: https://www.amazon.com/Field-Guide-Understanding-Human-Error...

It's written by someone that does airliner crash investigations. His central point is that "human error" as a term functions to redirect blame away from the people who establish systems and procedures. It blames the last domino vs the people who stacked them.

It's a quick breezy read, and you'll get the main points within the first 30 min or so of reading. I've found it useful for getting these ideas across to people though, especially more generic business types where "no blame post mortem" strikes them as some care bear nonsense rather than being an absolutely essential tool to reduce future incidents.
What about this is specific to Austen? All of the quotes in the article are examples of information used as a normal English word, to convey its normal meaning, which everyone knows.

I have great access through my university library system.

But Sci-Hub and LibGen have radically accelerated my ability to do research.

Mmm yeah I had the same experience. My end conclusion for Golang was "don't use an ORM".

It gives them more bargaining rights when dealing with tech companies as to what a 'fair' portion of revenue they should receive for having their stories presented on these sites.
> now you need a 3.7 (not counting the GPA boosts you get from Honors and AP)

Does this mean that you're actually better off taking unweighted non-honors/AP classes and getting a better grade, rather than taking honors/AP classes and getting a less good grade?
Is that including amortizing the space it uses in the house? That's not really free.
Among other things: Citrix remote app compression, resolution changes, screen magnifier software for users with disabilities, lock screens.

These are all things I've had break visual matching in prod deployments.

The scheduling, monitoring, and distribution are (IMHO) the least interesting parts of UiPath. They're pretty trivial to build with other tech.

But a matching engine that offers a plethora of high level rule options, coupled with deep inspection capability, and fast runtime matching? That's a pretty big building block.
There’s no way to slice out crime against owners of a ‘recent iPhone’ as being acceptable, crime doesn’t work like that. There’s no way you can know when buying a stolen phone who it was taken from but disproportionately they come form people who can least afford to lose them.

There are over a billion iOS devices active right now, are all of those people rich exploiters who deserve to have their phones stolen? What your saying isn’t anti-capitalist, it’s advocating disproportionate oppression of the most vulnerable in society and you should be thoroughly ashamed of yourself.

How dare you come here, advocate crime and criticise owners of devices with the highest recyclability, lowest ecological impact and longest device lifetimes in the industry on moral grounds.

I’m sure your perfectly aware of what the purpose of those software updates were, to extend device lifetimes when batteries start to fail, but you’re perfectly prepared to betray your ecological ideals which should be in favour of this in order to score points. It’s absolutely disgraceful. These arguments might work against people unaware of the facts, but you’re not going to get away with this disingenuous claptrap here.
It doesn't really matter much because a look at the actual numbers shows that SpaceX charge more than the cost of launching the exact same payload would have cost using the shuttle. Besides the reusability point is disingenuous when talking cost since SpaceX's cost have actually gone up per (re)launch, not down. So yes, it is more complex than quippy internet back and forth suggests.

Here is a video that explains it in decent details if you are interested, but the TL;DR is that SpaceX is more expensive than the shuttle and way more expensive than they said they would be:

Err, that's not what I meant. Quite the contrary tbh. I don't know about the rest of the population, but majority of employees in tech offices in Atlanta tend not to be African American, so I am not sure if you got my point at all.
Maybe it's time to create an adversarial network that can figure out how to mine on the GPU without causing it to halve the hash rate, train that network on an NVIDIA GPU, and shove it to them.
I live in Atlanta and grew up in the area. This is my 2021 total comp from workday:

$160k base

$380k equity

$540k total comp

I've been highly compensated in Atlanta for nearly my entire career, except the year when I worked out of ATDC.

edit: I misread that you were looking for Austin figures, not Atlanta. I still think this is valuable for the ATLiens here. We've had tech companies here for over a decade - you just have to know.
There is a middle-ground between writing SQL statement strings in your code, and a full-blown ORM: query builders.

Do you think society would look more stable and secure if debt-to-GDP ratio had been kept constant in the massive slowdown by even further reductions of private and public spending?
Off topic but does Tesla still software limit their batteries? I always cringed at that; just knowing something exists that isn't being used to it's full potential
>Hahaha, this can't be real. Will they gimp the RTX-3060 in other applications like machine learning too?

Maybe? It would make sense because ML use cases are professional and there's a lot of money to be made there.

This isn't without precedent. Quadro cards have always been 99% GeForce cards with some special bios magic to de-gimp them for CAD or VFX applications. They charge 4x the price because they know that workstations running $50,000 a seat software can afford the premium.

> I don’t think it is about recognising the origin of what we now call “British” people. But that there is still some intolerance of immigrants (particularly if they aren’t white) in Britain.

As the saying goes in the old days some people could have a signs outside a shop "No dogs, no Irishmen and no blacks allowed". Was that really true for some parts of Britain or is it just tales?
If your area is solidly blue then just keep doing it and force the state to continue to intervene. They absolutely can keep doing so but it's terrible PR and strongly opposes declared beliefs in libretarianism and the "laboratory of democracy."

I really feel for people living in red states who are trying to make everything better for everyone - most people give up and just move elsewhere but you can make change happen.
That's an uphill battle. Been mostly solved - truck and train transport is pretty cheap per item. They're refrigerated and probably spend less time in the truck, than in the store and your fridge.

Bit Ag is ... BIG. We're not gonna beat it at scale with a few pods on the balcony. Better find a different reason.
Quicker, cheaper, and probably feels good in the moment. The law can work if you have time and money.

Also, due to the ill view of patents on this forum, I imagine people here are simply put off from using the law and thus opt for the dopamine hit.
Yes, racism exists in Bay Area. I doubt any city in America can escape that curse, but to what degree matters.
Besides the accidental voting corruption you mention, you might also be seeing the Expert's Ideas Get More Traction effect. People might be posting ideas they just came up with and organized as best as they could, while yours were stewing and benefit from knowing you'd be writing them down some time.

There are many ways to dilute the "first posted, most voted" effect without actually changing how votes get counted. In a way, it's a very similar problem to how voting happens in sites like HN. Mostly you can change how entries are displayed (hidden votes until done?), ordered (new first? random? less voted? trending?) and discovered (tags? keywords?).

In your specific case, next time you can try making sure you add a couple clearly bad ideas (off topic?), maybe one clearly placeholder (or kinda tutorial) idea and maybe some you can remove later could give you a good starting brew to grow user submitted content.

You can also somehow put the same projects to vote again, starting with zero votes. To have two projects done instead of one, maybe that's enough of an excuse.

I'm not sure why you would compare Visa with Bitcoin, unless you had no idea what you were talking about.. Visa does not enable one to transact without the rest of the banking system. It's useless on its own. Really pointless point of reference.
Just wait until they'll limit ML/DL using those heuristics because you're supposed to buy specialized hardware and let gamers play their games.

Sounds like SOP for American business to me.
It's not always that nefarious.

At a past company we had certain manual labor tasks that had to be done by end of day, so work schedules were flexible. We offered full time with benefits, but there was still a lot of demand for part-time work. There are a lot of people out there who simply want to use extra time in the day to take on paying work. You get college students looking for a few hours after work, or parents who have to work around their kids school schedules, or older people who simply want to have something to do but aren't up for full-time jobs.

There are also plenty of jobs where companies simply can't afford to pay someone 40 hours per week plus benefits. Hiring someone for 20 hours per week with no benefits is arguably better than not having that job in the economy at all.

I'd love as much as anyone for the US to separate health care from employer-provided health insurance, but it's not really fair to blame companies for the failures of our politicians.
Isn't that statistic misleading without mentioning working hours? Maybe some of those "multiple jobs" are just one day a week. Perhaps a stay at home mother earns some extra money on Tuesday by taking her neighbors dogs for a walk, and on Thursdays by cleaning at a shop.

This "multiple jobs" headline suggests people are working more than one shift every day, which may be completely misleading. Maybe some people actually do that, but if they had hard data on that, I think they would have explicitly mentioned it, instead of their suggestive writing.
no worries, I'm pretty known for being reactive to comments of all kinds, it's both a feature and a bug. SQLAlchemy was never meant to be as "simple" as django but I just dont want people to be scared off of it; that said, I'm super glad everyone who uses django sticks with django because they would be very grumpy SQLAlchemy users. the idea is supposed to be, make a larger investment upfront, get a bigger payoff. it's a tough balloon to float which is why I'm always nosing around people's twitter threads.
Verizon owns the "Droid" trademark and is very litigious. Wouldn't be surprised if they got a nastygram from Verizon lawyers.

> Why were you storing this porn, exactly?

Given that the parent comment mentioned that 20 years after the porn storage story happened they ended up working at Tumblr, I assume the original story took place during a time before high-speed internet and porn streaming were a thing.
Yes, yes, you have shown you know what relativity is. But the relative velocity of earth and mars — which I can't convince Wolfram Alpha to tell me, but it's got to be on the order of their orbital velocity so let's say 5x10^4 mph — is a tiny tiny fraction of c so their inertial reference frames are essentially identical. So sitting in our reference frame, we can make inferences about what's happening "now" on mars,such that these inferences are consistent (to within that tiny fraction of c) with all of our current and future observations in this reference frame; i.e., consistent with a classical(+ finite speed of light) model of the universe. Which is why I left this out of my question and only asked about the consequences of a finite speed of light.

Put another way, simultaneity is perfectly well defined in a single inertial reference frame, and for purposes of my question, earth and mars can be considered to be relatively motionless.
This happened because our lack of regulations allowed it to happen. The areas of the state not under ERCOT control weathered this storm significantly better.

I too am pro nuclear. While nuclear isn't perfect, we have to take steps in the right direction. That means, investing in energy research, building from the best options we have now, and planning to build better things in the future.
By inevitable, I mean that space travel will become affordable enough to be personal, and that this is a question of time, not physical limitations.

We’re also talking about hundreds or thousands of years here. It seems totally reasonable to me to assume that a private spaceship priced at ~$500,000 in 2021 dollars will exist by say, 2500.

Why do you need meaning? Have fun!
They need this information to provide the services they offer, if you don’t want the services don’t provide the data. I thought I made it abundantly, crystal clear I am against them arbitraging or selling this data for other purposes of the kind you describe. That’s what we need to focus on with regulation. Of course they want to use this data for other purposes, and we need to make sure they do not. I find it somewhat exasperating that you seem to think I believe otherwise.
>It's a scam (it doesn't even use the best version of stockfish, so much for "the best chess engine available").

Have you used the internet or turned on a Tv in the last 20 years? Do you really think Dodge has "The Best Truck in the world" or that Verizon really has the "fastest 5g in America". This is marketing 101 for any business in the US.
It doesn't really make sense to talk about land usage that just so happens to be owned by a nuclear plant, or even certain fixed land requirements for a nuclear plant. It only makes sense to talk about the limiting behavior of land usage for various types of power plants.

“4 sub-processes when I only have two tabs?”

I don’t know anything about Firefox’s specifics, but forking an already initialized process typically is faster than launching a new process, so if I were to write a multi-process browser, I might have an empty, initialized, process hanging around of every type that can be forked and then sent a message to load a page or extension.

Alternatively, Firefox could keep processes running on the decent chance that you will want to open a new tab soon.
So we’ll see mod chips for GPUs soon?

Good point, you could do it now, far more cheaply, and far more safely than going into space.
All while letting companies come here and not pay their share of our general maintenance bills.
It's not the safety. One could conceivably put a glas she'll around the burnt fuel and it would survive reentry.

But first of all, the cost is still massive, even with SpaceX. And furthermore, you'd just put it into (decaying) low earth orbit that way. Further away would be even more expensive.

Finally, spent fuel still contains a lot of energy and should be recycled. This in turn is a very nasty and expensive procedure.
I’m fairly certain this happened to me a couple of weeks ago at LAX. Everyone in the waiting area kept on having a low fare pop up, accept it, and then have uber try to substitute it for a much higher fare before ultimately saying there were no drivers available.
