Dividends are taxable while price appreciation doesn’t become taxable until you sell. Unless you need income, it’s more tax efficient to shareholders if the company reinvests free cashflow in continued growth.

Not at this scale.

Personally I hope that lockdowns continue because that is what is best for the environment. If the next generation has to be sacrificed to save the planet, then that's a cost we should be willing to impress upon them.

That's possible. A concert soloist might not need to be a strong reader, but very few of them can make a living doing only that. To get up to a decent income without a day job requires doing a lot of short-term and fill-in music, chamber music, subbing, etc.

Maybe I took to reading, to cover for my lack of practice. ;-) I switched to jazz after high school, and am now a double bassist. Though I'm not a full time pro, I've gotten a lot more work than I'd otherwise deserve thanks to being a fluent sight-reader and keeping my reading chops fresh.

I thought the point of zero trust is there is not an inside nor an outside of the network. There are services, and those services are accessible from anywhere, so everyone is always "inside".

"Except during the summer months, the skin makes little if any vitamin D from the sun at latitudes above 37 degrees north (in the United States, the shaded region in the map) or below 37 degrees south of the equator.

other schools in my school district.

it was just a crowded and large area. a single high school even put 9th graders in a totally different building and location. It was basically middle middle school. All the levels of school had different start and end times to accommodate, and there were many schools at each level with overlapping bussing.
How the heck does one even turn an IPv4 address into 28-56 bytes?

Obviously it "should" be exactly 4 bytes, but even if you store the whole thing as an ASCII string it's only up to 16 bytes, including a null terminator.

There's an exercise used in personal growth experiences. They ask "What would you say if you knew you were going to die tomorrow? Who would you say it to?" Then when everyone has thought about it and revealed their choice, they ask "What are you waiting for?"

Of course, it may be hard to figure this out, if tomorrow isn't really your last day. Its easy to fudge and wriggle and decide you don't really have something to say, or don't want to reveal what it might be. It can also be easier to face when asked by a group you are close to, because you don't want to lie to them (even if you would lie to yourself). So it doesn't often yield catharsis. But sometimes it does.
Isn't it cheap compared to the typical browser bloat though?

I agree. I use a roku instead, but same result. I used the apps on my TV for a bit when I got it, but they would fail, like it had a memory leak if I watched something for over 3 hours. I don't trust telling the TV to disable wifi, so I just changed the wifi credentials on the TV to be incorrect. No problems anymore.
As far as I know, dogs can live on a vegan diet.

Growing up in Church, not lying was a big issue. 10 Commandment and all.

It's not a global constant. Across Central and Eastern Europe it's quite common to work 7am-3pm. You have half the afternoon in the sun at any time of year to enjoy. In winter it's a bleak commute to work though.
It's been a while since I read these books but I'm surprised to hear someone like Fooled By Randomness but not Black Swan. One of the few complaints I had of Black Swan was that it felt a bit redundant in parts from the previous book. Overall I think both books are great and worth reading.

I highly recommend reading Antifragile next though. It's fairly different from the other two and extremely interesting; probably one of my favorite books.
Understood.

Well, you might mean "destroyed" from the point of view of someone who wants to advocate for Hong Kong independence from China.

Or destroyed from the point of view of someone wanting to publish certain news articles criticizing China. Or whether your university/school teachers are allowed to even mention Hong Kong independence.

Or from the point of view of investors worried about the independence of the financial system from interference / controls in the longer term. Or that they might be extradited to China for financial crimes (or even political reasons) that previously weren't a concern.

Obviously, I'm not unaware of those points of view and situations.

On the other hand, for someone running a business in Hong Kong, working a 9-to-5 job, or even at a typical multinational corporation, or growing up going to school, or settling in for retirement, or traveling to/from the city, life shows no hour-by-hour or day-to-day difference for the vast majority of people.

Whether on balance, these factors would lead someone to declare that a city (or the idea of a city) has been "destroyed" overall is I guess what we're debating.

I take the point of view that jumping without further clarification to say that Hong Kong has been destroyed, is just a bit of a fashionable hyperbolic opinion to put out there -- an opinion that heavily overweights the concerns (even legitimate concerns) of a, let's call it 1%, special subset of the population. Are you one of that group / are you from Hong Kong? If not, how did you join the concerns of the group for whom the city appears to have been destroyed, rather than the rest of the city for whom it continues with no perceptible change in daily life?

input shaping allows one to get rid of mechanical resonances without re-engineering the motion system on a printer. It's pretty unique to klipper -- but it's one of those features that I suspect is brilliant enough to where the other groups who develop such software will probably follow-up with their own variations.

People mostly stopped eating organ meats for social reasons - organ meats were associated with the poor, so not eating organ meats was a way to signal you were high class.

OctoPrint is one of the reasons I got a 3D printer. I thought the idea of being able to view and control the printer remotely was a great bonus. Now I basically have one Pi running the printer, and another one next to it running a web browser connected to OctoPrint. I really found it to be a great way to monitor what’s happening in a more interactive way. Instead of just watching a few numbers on the side display of the printer, you can get so much more information. Because of this, I think it makes printing more fun.
The problem is, that empires have planned economy parts, and those destroy the market. Join the us-protective empire, you buy military hardware and other product-groups to pay for the protection against hostile neighbours. If these products are worth the money is near irrelevance.

They could make these planes from paper and they still would sell. The moment the systemic thread of the soviet union was considered no longer imminent (70s-80s) the slide into abysmal quality began. So to join the "I don't want to pay for my own military and still be relatively safe" club, you buy those planes.
How do you mean? If you mean "same actual moment", then you'd get jet lag because you'd be used to waking up in the morning and now you'd have to get used to waking up at night. If you mean "same clock time", that's what we do now.

Zoos don't exist to conserve endangered animals. They exist to create an emotional connection between endangered animals and humans. Which someone else can use to provoke you to act on your stated but never demonstrated belief in protecting the natural world.

Taking humans out of nature is why we are so fucked up now. Getting rid of pets would put many people into the completely sterile category. Why do I need nature? What's it ever done for me? Nothing.
Python has pyparsing: https://pypi.org/project/pyparsing/

Maybe it's because non-FP languages typically don't support operator overloading, so you'd end up with verbose grammars like:

new Literal("true").or(new Literal("false"))

and then you'll probably use a parser generator like ANTLR.

A search on Amazon, Best Buy, and Newegg for trackball and sorting the results from lowest to highest price all include scrolling buttons, either by touch, scroll ring, scroll wheel. The dirt cheapest option I could find for 20 bucks, the Logitech Trackman Trackball has something called WebScroll buttons and other cheap Logitech trackballs use SetPoint.

It appears, at least from all the evidence I can gather, that trackballs without a scroll option is the exception.

Also, because of the Europe focus, a disproportionate number of those affected won't be in English. They will be in French, German, Italian etc.

Part of HN's bias is at times because of the US focus, namely Silicon Valley there is quite a information bubble about what actually goes on in the world of nearly 8B people compared to the "mere" 300M in the US. Starting to lose count of the number of people claiming today they have never even heard of OVH despite it's scale. When I did my European education, the number 1 provider used in university was OVH.

If millions of sites are down, and you haven't been impacted by it today, guess what, you are in that bubble.

I for one know that a number of Wordpress plugins are currently borked and Lichess was affected.
Smart TV Ad Domain Blocklist and Tips
"SK if you own a Samsung smart TV that has ads, you can block them by adding ads.samsung.com to your block list on your internet router [...]"
Yes but no. Sure, millions of websites offline, most likely websites that run on single servers, in one data center. Hardly "our" digital reality is stored there, but more like personal artifacts or smaller businesses.

Our digital reality lives much further than that, and is what makes up the web. It's not run on one server, sometimes in a magical cloud of instances, living in harmony.
You have no idea whether that statement is true.
A cat also won't kill anyone, bully anyone, or more generally cause any considerable human suffering. Can you say the same for your real or hypothetical children?

Let's just decimate ourselves until we reach our climate goals! Who wants to go first?
What's never mentioned in this brand of article is that $1,500 is probably quite low for the caliber of screen you get in a brand new TV. The state of the art has progressed significantly, while the cost of manufacturing hasn't dropped all that much; and yet the price of a new TV has held more or less constant, because it is subsidized by the income from ads.

The problem isn't that the TVs show ads, it's that there is no option on the market for a non-homebrand TV that is fully functional but doesn't show ads. My guess is that manufacturers are afraid to sell this option because it then becomes trivial to flash the firmware from an adless TV onto an adful TV.

(FWIW I hate nothing more than seeing ads on my TV outside broadcast)
I'm using an Apple TV into a projector (which is not connected to the internet). I'm not getting ads through the Apple TV.

I'm assuming there will be claims that whatever apple is doing to keep ads out and just have their own world is violating anti-trust, but I have to say I like it.

They also do a weird aggregation thing across Amazon etc, so you have shows from multiple channels / service in one view. Not sure how that works, but from consumer side it is very nice.
Can you be more specific about what are you comparing this to? An X client with similar functionality would likely be longer and require several X extensions.
As others mention OVHCloud does host VPS's and seedboxes, which have many legitimate users but can be used for crime especially when VPS providers accept Bitcoin and other difficult to track currencies.

It was only a few days ago that it was been announced there is an unprecedented hack in progress of Microsoft Exchange / Outlook Web App that is reportedly being launched by the HAFNIUM hacking group in China using VPSs hosted around the world.

I'm not saying arson is involved, but the possibility of arson needs to be impartially investigated. Admittedly, the falsifiability of the theory is also difficult, because even tracing back the fire to an electrical fault doesn't immediately preclude it from being a deliberate act.

You're describing the legal standard of free speech, vs the terms of service laid out by a corporate. As a private company, Twitter is presumably free to draw a line and enforce it consistently. I'm sure it's a fine line to walk. But, saying you have to allow Nazi propaganda because you allow pornography is a false equivalence. There are plenty of illegal/objectionable forms of pornography, which I purposefully did not include. Deciding you are not going to filter any content regardless of imminent lawless action seems especially reckless. I'm sure we'll be seeing this play out in court over the next few years.

So few eat such things around here, you can't even find them at the butchers'. The exception is the more exotic pork - face, jowls, trotters, skin. Still meat (sort of) but getting out there. Italian cooks have taught us to love pancetta, guanciale and the like.

That's one of the few things that should literally refuse to run unless you prove you have backups on a different network. (not technically possible to verify of course) Without it, you will lose data at some point.
True. But at least people develop a taste and preference. At one time I ate liver because I was poor. I never liked it. My sibling liked it. One of my relations loved tripe. I did not.

But dogs? Until quite recently they are scraps.
Tongue and tripe are both muscle tissue. I can handle heart, tongue, liver, kidney, pancreas, etc. But tripe I can smell a mile away and I find it very offensive. I don’t know that I can ever learn to eat it short of a starvation experience.
Time zones make sense, because the alternative was solar time -- and you have global transport networks that have to account for being at a particular place at a particular local time. Time zones massively simplify solar time.

DST can fuck right off though. You need a complete history of the DST laws in any locality in order to determine when a given local time is in UTC. It's nuts, and we don't need it. The Japanese get along fine without DST.
Yes the local taqueria has those in tacos. A nice change!

Says a lot about the robustness and degree of centralization of the internet that one data-center going up in flames takes a non-trivial chunk of French domains offline, including government websites.

It reminds me of that story recently about the hack on that water recycling plant in the US that was only barely caught and could have poisoned a city. A lot of infrastructure really operates in barely secure fashion.

No idea. Probably, but it depends on whether that limit is hard coded or is a config flag that an account team can get changed.
> Scrollbars aren't visual noise, they are an indicator that tells you a) that there's more stuff than fits on the screen, b) where you are spatially, in relation to all that stuff, and c) how much more stuff there is, relative to what's shown on your screen.

They are visual noise if that information isn’t relevant to you.

If you’re proofreading a long book, they are likely to be more useful than just browsing the web.

> Hiding them leads to users often not figuring out that there's more stuff

Does it?

> and scrolling will get them there.

Really? With most content it’s fairly clear from the content itself.
I've never put a TV on my WiFi. That strikes me as an obviously bad idea. I guess people use the terrible built-in apps? It just seems like a series of poor choices to me. Crazy though that an expensive LG CX OLED would do that. I figured at least if you paid more for the TV it would show some tiny level of respect for the owner but clearly not.

I know the various streaming sticks people use instead show ads too probably if it isn't an Apple TV but at least it is somewhat quarantined. Pretty crazy how antagonistic things are getting.
> We’re just going to cram ads into every corner of a TV’s software, huh?

There are 12 ads active on this article, and at least 1 autoplaying video ad.
I don't understand what I see as a religious objection, but cats can be fed vegan pet food.

It's a complicated formula, and maybe it's not perfect yet, but I've yet to see anyone actually give scientific proof that vegan pet foods are bad for a cat. Some had early problems, but that was years ago.

It is somewhat irrelevant, the thrown out meat from human consumption is enough for pets at the moment.

And all this goes back to we need lab grown meat. It should be priority number one across the world. We need to learn to ignore the zealots talking about behaviour change. It's needed for the environment and the poor who can't afford meat.

I'm not sure if this is done in practice, but in theory, if you compile a regex to a DFA, you can then minimize the DFA. I don't know if you can do anything similar with parser combinators, but if not, that could be a potential performance gap to watch out for.

Depopulation can happen the kind way or the terrible way. We need to choose. Mandatory birth control with racial justice quotas will allow the species to continue in the most equitable way, even correcting for systemic racism. All without sacrificing nature.
I see an industry has popped up to vilify everything through environmental impacts. Someone told me they were going to stop smoking weed because of the environmental impact. Like cancel culture, stuff like this is a sign that there is no actual moral direction to this type of thing. Just the endless journey for clout.
The impression I got was that instead of dynamically changing between a few different pre-made models for an asset at a specific point, it could automatically scale a very high quality and poly count model down to less quality (that is, generate the lower quality model automatically from the high quality one), and on the fly or maybe JIT, but I'm not sure if that's accurate or if that's also old tech.

Edit: See your sibling comment, which came in just after I originally replied here.
