Voters get the politicians they deserve. In some systems it's easier to be corrupt. IIif there are only 2 major parties so you don't need to good just better than the other guy, or if politicians are funding their own campaigns so you are indebted to sponsors and companies before you are even elected.

But voters are also responsible for those systems being in place.
> But a counteracting force is that some couples think 9 months ahead and are afraid of delivering their baby in a COVID-overloaded hospital.

My wife works in a maternity ward.

Babies are a high priority. They're fully prepared to deliver babies from covid-positive mothers. (And, yes, there's been plenty of covid-positive mothers.)

And, because visitors are strictly limited, it's actually quite easy in the maternity ward.

I went in because we got pregnant thanks to being stuck at home. It's much more peaceful without a parade of visitors, but super-scary because some of the delivery rooms have negative pressure machines in case there's a covid-positive mother.
If you're on Ubuntu 18.04 trying to build from source, the readme says "sudo apt install ncurses", but I had to do "sudo apt install libncurses-dev". It's a fun little program, I like it a lot.
I don't make games, not professionally. And I don't play many mobile games, but I'm quite happy with the ones I have, all of them paid, minimal micro transactions, complete games.
But it's continually surprising how many people look down on something that is so mass market which miliions up millions of people have access to, use ever day, anywhere.
Even business wise, many companies focus so much on desktop where what they're running could be much better done on a mobile device, you see them used more and more in every aspect of business outside of offices but there are so many office based developers working on pcs who still look on them as toys, and, it's just, dumb

> Official birth data from the U.S. National Center for Health Statistics will not be available for many more months, but some states have already released provisional birth data. In January 2021, which would be the first month in which all full-term babies born were conceived after the lockdown began, births fell by 7.2 percent in Florida and 10.5 percent in California, after adjusting for secular trends, seasonal variation and the use of provisional birth data.
My daily driver is a 2019 rMBP -- the last 15" model, with the upgraded keyboard.

I am SO TEMPTED by the M1 upgrade, especially given the trade-in valuation on my machine right now. However, it would be inconvenient to give up ports, and right NOW I still do some Windows virtualization, so I'm holding off.

But it's still SUPER TEMPTING.

Your typical EV is rolling on a rock hard economy tire.

Tesla is an odd beast because they staked their reputation on performance and kind of actually have to back it up. And they chew through tires about as fast/slow as any other performance sedan. Or at least that's my impression. Tesla stuff is 10yr and a couple tax brackets outside of what I usually deal with.

I think RISC-V, without some additional extension(s) and maybe some rework, will have trouble scaling the levels necessary to be competitive performance-wise with smartphone devices or data centers the way ARM v8 is. Erin Shepherd did a good write-up why:

David Chisnall’s critique is also worth a read: https://lobste.rs/s/icegvf/will_risc_v_revolutionize_computi...

With that said for applications that are sensitive to power or transistor counts it wouldn’t surprise me if it takes over the low to midrange MCU market 10 years from now.
I could not agree more.

Whereas historically having kids used to be a "social" decision in various respects, it has now become a socio-economic decision for the reasons you point out.

If anything, I would argue that the economic shock of the pandemic (aside from the horror stories you hear from WFH parents who have kids) and the inequality it has exposed in our financial systems has cemented the idea for a lot of middle class millenials to have no kids/fewer kids.

I believe to be a cancerous individual, there is typically going to be some degree of mental illness manifesting. Most people are nowhere near as angry, aggressive, unreasonable, and perhaps delusional as he is.

He’s a professional, a CEO in the spotlight, and his response has been to act with impotent rage on the internet. There is something wrong with the picture. He’s acting way, way outside the bounds of his professional role and failing to function as a decent person as well. This often indicates some degree of mental illness.

I don’t mean to “reduce” a person to mental illness at all. I think it has broad and important implications rather than the inverse. I also don’t agree at all that one person’s illness can be a disservice to another.

Sure, if you ignore them, and if you're not a big juicy target, the twisted zealots will eventually leave you alone. But who knows how much rot and corruption they will spread before they lose interest? And even if you can handle getting hate mail, or having your name plastered all around the internet with a cross-hair on it, what if it happens to your family, your collaborators, your employees, your employer, your customers?
Sure, growing crops specifically to feed cattle that could be fed to humans instead makes farming cattle seem wasteful but only if You take a very narrow view of the situation instead of looking at the entire system.

Cattle provide more than just food products, From 1 cow hide you can get 12 basketballs OR 144 baseballs OR 20 footballs OR 18 volleyballs OR 18 soccer balls OR 12 baseball gloves.
Yes all of those could be made of synthetic materials but I appreciate the natural biodegradable quality of leather products. Belts, shoes, jackets, furniture, steering wheels and on and on...it would add up to lots more plastics in our environment.

Most cattle are currently being fed annual cereal crops to fatten them up quickly, which I agree is a terrible way to go but unfortunately also profitable, but farming cattle on perennial grassland if managed properly actually regenerates the land, increases biodiversity, builds soil,stops desertification and is profitable too.

I think there is truth in the article but it also lacks perspective in some ways.
sure thing - so the idea is that the mainstream media exists to prop up the status quo. Not in the sense that it was invented for that reason, but the incentives at play force the media to essentially play to the confirmation bias of their audience in order to be competitive. Given that the media also pretends to present an objective truth (the idea of objective truth is also a very modernist ideal, but I don't want to go too deep into the postmodern rabbit hole here), the outcome is that the status quo is presented as the objective ideal. Thus if you believe that narrative, anything that isn't the status quo is treated comparably as inferior.
Enterprise IT works that way. You basically lease with option to buy servers/computers in bulk and refresh every 3-5 years.

From this latest test, it looked like SpaceX shared the concern, and took steps to address it. It was less "last-second hover-slam" and more "we'll flip, hover, and touch down gently".

With production legs instead of the tiny stubby test ones, I suspect it'd have worked.
If it would have anywhere near a direct effect on our daily life that alone would have such a negative effect on the price that it would instantly crash.
The price and more so the ever increasing price is the only thing that keeps it alive and it directly correlates with the price expectation people have. There is no way enough people would think the price goes up if negative effects would become so real.
Maybe I am missing something, but I'm having difficulty figuring out what a proper diagram definition is supposed to look like.

You could take inspiration from plantuml-editor (https://plantuml-editor.kkeisuke.com/#) and add a template/demo button that allows user to get a predefined diagram so they can experiment with it.
There is not one Dedekind-complete ordered field, for every two Dedekind-complete ordered fields there is a unique isomorphism between them. For example the nxn diagonal matrices with real entries with all the entries along the diagonal equal are a Dedekind-complete ordered field.

I don't know why you are conflating the words "compute" and "define", do you understand how these are different words? I was responding to how to "compute: \pi*\pi using repeated addition", this is rather different to defining \pi*\pi as a repeated addition.

Launch HN: Alinea (YC W21) – Invest in stocks you believe in
Anam, Eve, and Nikhil here, co-founders of Alinea (https://alinea-invest.com/). Alinea is an investing app for those who want to understand the companies they are investing in. We explain how each company makes money, how they treat their stakeholders, and their environmental impact on the world so customers can buy stock in companies they believe in.

Despite our different backgrounds, the three of us struggled with the same problem. We knew we had to invest our money to build wealth, but when we tried, we felt intimidated and lost. We had so many questions - What kind of stocks do we invest in? Where do we find accurate information? And quickly realized we’re not alone, our friends and other people were also experiencing the same problem.

So in early 2020 we started working on a new approach to investing. We wanted to build an experience without the hassle and complexity of charts and financial jargon. We also wanted to move away from a gamified experience which tends to cause stress and anxiety around investing - so we’ve gone as far as removing red and green from the app entirely.

There’s a lot of misinformation and confusion around how to start investing in stocks so we guide our users through the process. First, we match you to stocks based on your interests so you can better understand a company. Second, we simplify hard to find research into bite-sized formats, so you can evaluate if it's a good investment. Lastly, we show you the impact of your investment on our environment, society, and workplace. We do the homework, so you can make an informed decision.

Underneath the hood, we’re using Drivewealth for stock prices and executing trades and extract data from ISS reports to offer visibility on a companies’ environmental, social and workplace impact scores. We sort through SEC filings and earnings reports to consolidate and synthesize information. We’ve custom built UI in native swift in“swipeable cards” so the information is easy and quick to digest.

In the past months, we’ve seen the power of retail investors who want more choices than just putting their money in ETFs, we provide the tools for them to make informed stock investments. We would love to hear your thoughts and feedback on what we’re building!
Why are anti-monopoly laws outdated? I would rather have 10,000 moderately rich families in 10,000 towns across the US than 1 super rich guy. It is better for the economy, better for politics, basically better for everything, even the super rich guy because what's he going to do with the extra money? The laws for dealerships are doing what they were designed to do. Did something change that makes monopolies good now?
I'd say that having massive low latency caches on die plays a larger role.

>On the cache hierarchy side of things, we’ve known for a long time that Apple’s designs are monstrous, and the A14 Firestorm cores continue this trend. Last year we had speculated that the A13 had 128KB L1 Instruction cache, similar to the 128KB L1 Data cache for which we can test for, however following Darwin kernel source dumps Apple has confirmed that it’s actually a massive 192KB instruction cache.

That’s absolutely enormous and is 3x larger than the competing Arm designs, and 6x larger than current x86 designs, which yet again might explain why Apple does extremely well in very high instruction pressure workloads, such as the popular JavaScript benchmarks.

The huge caches also appear to be extremely fast – the L1D lands in at a 3-cycle load-use latency. AMD has a 32KB 4-cycle cache, whilst Intel’s latest Sunny Cove saw a regression to 5 cycles when they grew the size to 48KB.

My wife and I started talking about having a kid and.. oooops!

The maternity visits are fine. The major consequence is that only mom can go. I didn't get to see the ultrasounds this time around.

For the maternity ward, just make sure to have an N95 or KN95 mask. Keep it on AT ALL TIMES that you are outside of the room. The hospital we went to had negative pressure machines in case a mother was covid positive.

Have your kid. You'll be fine, and when you're old, you won't regret it.

I'm disappointed at the toothless GDPR which is apparently being used to fine small businesses who can't keep up with all the rules, meanwhile the gargantuan entities we European residents do need protection from can apparently do as they please.

Really, as a European resident, I expected more than "accept the terms or GTFO" - wasn't that the entire point of the GDPR?

Actually I was completely wrong. They added support for consuming an AbortSignal in the old callback style methods as well. Now I'm at a loss as to why they even have two different implementations instead of just doing something like:

With about 40 people coming down for the summer season and all their luggage plus some equipment it's probably too small for the job of the main load in and out of people. Plus it has to refuel there where fuel is many times more expensive so that also makes the smaller planes less economical than they would otherwise be.
I love these types of games. Some options:

- Paradox games in spectate mode. You begin to see flaws in the model where nations conquer & hold in implausible ways which leads to stagnation, but still an interesting model.

- Gridworld on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/396890/Gridworld/

- AIbattle on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6oT1a9Kqfor47HA3_ItCjQ

- Cell Lab on Android: https://cell-lab.net/

I would enjoy a passive zero player game like this that then has a game aspect as a meta layer where players compete in betting markets on making the most accurate predictions of the model.
I'll take your word for it. I guess I live in a world where the code I see is rarely tight algebra loops, but I can see that in certain domains you would definitely care.

"The store uses the company’s Just Walk Out technology, which allows customers to pick items off shelves and take them out of the store without having to stop and pay a cashier. Billing is handled automatically, but requires customers to scan their Amazon app to enter."

Would like to try this for myself to see how efficient the process actually is.

Certainly seems like it could speed things up, which works for a place like London where everyone is in their own little bubble at a million miles per hour.

In 2004 a study was done that showed an unprotected PC connected to the internet was attacked within 20 minutes, half the time of a previous study just a few years prior.

If we suppose that it continues to half, say ever five years, it went to within 10 minutes in 2010, within 5 minutes in 2015, and is now somewhere around within 3 minutes for an unprotected PC to be attacked once connected the the internet.
Could be the browser/platform you're using? I'm not sure. I've seen some reports here that the demos work better in Chrome, but that's not exactly a point in Flutter's favor; this is supposed to be a cross-platform toolkit after all. Regardless, odd.

A) I'm on Firefox on a Mac Book Pro. My feeling is that should be able to handle a login form, but I mildly suspect that Flutter's dev team is not testing on Firefox at all.

B) Here's what I see when zoomed to 400%. No vectors anywhere, not even for text: https://i.imgur.com/7QFC40v.png Nothing that I see on the page is being handled as an SVG. Very strange to me that you're seeing vector graphics, as that would imply that the form isn't being rendered onto a Canvas for you?

C) This shouldn't be a problem with web apps that use :focus/:active CSS selectors. I understand if a from-scratch webapp doesn't handle focus loss, but I would expect any GUI toolkit to be able to.

D) On the web touch already for the most part just works. There's nothing on this login page that should require a separate interface. I think it's a problem if Flutter only provides adaptive interfaces "if you want them"; in a good GUI framework you should be getting the stuff that the web already handles for free regardless of whether or not you "opt in" to having your site work on an iPad.

There's a similar problem to the "we'll create it cheaper if" issue in a lot of government software acquisition. Contractors, especially big companies, often want a lot more money to hand over source code for software. Often the government takes the short-term discount, but then ends up paying massively over time by having no ability to maintain or upgrade the system without involvement from the same contractor.

> One login per day per person is the maximum number of times I would ever consider asking for authentication.

Yes. Pet peeve. I started a new web app, which was going to have to integrate with our internal SAML server. Managers in the meetings kept referring to it as our "single sign on" system. I finally heard the phrase one too many times, and stopped the discussion to clarify that a "single sign on" means you log into a system ONCE, and then it takes care of every other authentication. I pointed out that we ALL spend ALL day re-logging into everything, and that shut everyone up pretty fast.

And, yes, I'm fully aware that this sort of thing is why I'm not popular with our IT department.

Fun story. I started integrating my app with SAML, and took a couple of days to learn it. I asked for the key to their dev server for testing, and this led to a FOUR MONTH series of meetings and emails where they told me WILDLY inaccurate things, which I repeated back to make sure I understood what they were telling me, and they insisted these things were true. (Like, all I had to do was put something in my headers to "authenticate".) Around and around we went until some other manager on a call pointed out that what I repeated was WILDLY inaccurate, and I shouted, "I KNOW! THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING FOR FOUR MONTHS," which made my manager tell me to calm down, but which FINALLY got someone to point me to the right person, deep in the heart of India, who sent me exactly what I asked for at the start, and it worked the first time.

So, no, I don't care that I'm not popular with this group.
