The cultures that dominated North and South America prior to the arrival of European explorers and the mass plague that accompanied them were absolutely vast, and we are only now starting to piece together the size and scale of some of those empires.

There are several reasons for the gap in understanding of their scale, but one is that the well-settled communities (with some exceptions primarily centered in South America) often used primarily wooden construction, as wood was extremely plentiful in the New World. When the European plagues led to 90%-plus die-offs in these cultures, the survivors couldn't maintain the scale of cities they'd built, and since wood rots relatively quickly, their permanent settlements were all but eradicated by the time any subsequent waves of European exploration arrived to write down what they saw in languages Europeans could read.

Modern archaeology techniques, by analyzing land cultivation and the few remnants a wooden building leaves of foundation, are starting to comprehend the scale of the cities built by the original settlers of North and South America.

This is probably what the OP meant. But that reinforces even more the fact that it's all about the $, contrary to what the title says, and more precisely a stable income.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing, we all work for the money at the end of the day. It's just clumsy.
The Popper part is easy: In the 1970s, during the student revolts, many right leaning people (who would be called fascists these days) got platforms on talk shows and politely debated their left wing counterparts.

It did not lead to the Fourth Reich, on the contrary, public opinion has shifted to the left in and after the 70s.

The right wing backlash you see now is a direct result of the insanity and totalitarianism of today's "left", which is really a smoke screen for the corporate-directed suppression of the middle classes (both black and white).

This Popper statement, made in a completely different era, is overused to shut down opponents and justify censorship.
The amount of fuel is fixed either way so it’s an efficiency question. Normal stars only burn a small percentage of their fuel. Maximum energy is captured by turning hydrogen into lead. After that, dumping lead into a deep gravity well is the final option.
Cool, it's like a 'heads-up' so you can avoid being in a world of pain later!

For me that's still what it's best at and what it should focus on. "Paper", Signatures, Password, to me that feels like they're desperately trying to find something to not just be a reliable external hard drive for people.

This isn't really historically correct. There was no single burning of the Great Library of Alexandria that completely destroyed it. Like many libraries of antiquity it suffered several fires and recovered, but eventually fell into decline and disfavor as other academia centers sprang up.
To defend the "bad guy" for a second: In fairness to the HAF here, that "quote" is not a quote at all, but an uncharitable paraphrasing. If you're going to quote that "summary", it'd be best to also include a direct quote from the HAF along with it, so you appear fairer. Otherwise people will feel tricked and dismiss your argument.
Ask HN: Conference room audio using laptops
My company needs an audio solution for a large conference room where each person's laptop provides their individual audio without creating feedback to the central Polycom speaker at the far end of the table which is connected to MS Teams. We provided Covid separation between attendees by increasing the room and table size, but now the Polycom at the far end doesn't. pick up the audio from the far end, even though we have the satellite microphones connected. There are super fancy solutions available, but wow, they are expensive. Everyone already has a laptop connected to the same network and most people are looking at the presentation slides on the shared MS Teams meeting. However, if they activate. their microphone or speakers there is a major issue with feedback, echo, and repeated audio.

Seems like there should be an audio server that could collect the audio from everyone's laptop, pick the strongest source and cut out the broadcast sound from the incoming MS Teams audio
Fun fact: newborn cows are switched from their mother's milk to an industrial milk formula just five days after their birth, instead of the normal weaning period of 8 months, so that humans can drink the calf's milk.

In my opinion, Google is more of a monitoring station for governments, [1] as is Facebook [2]. I agree that they do not hold the power to directly levy taxes or enforce compliance on their own accord. They can probably influence voting and other aspects of public perception. Netflix has a show called "The Great Hack" [3] that starts to go down this rabbit hole as well.

"All lives matter" is a totally meaningless phrase outside the context of "black lives matter".

The only reason to say "all lives matter" is to trivialize the phrase "black lives matter". It may appeal to neutrality, but the context is far from neutral.
You need to set your keyboard layout. Assuming you have some desktop environment, look in its keyboard settings for “English (Macintosh)”. You may also have to configure an AltGraph key (== Option); the default is likely right Alt, since that's what Windows does.

I've watched a lot of his stuff and even seen him perform stand up. He has made a career in calling out the hypocrisies of the left, usually in an absurd way. Behind the ridiculous presentations are usually fairly well thought out points.

Occasionally he takes on the far right as well. The problem being that it's just too easy and boring to do that.

I don't have the source handy and couldn't be bothered looking for it... its my understanding that dairy is not necessary in a human diet. It doesn't contain anything that isn't easier or healthier to get from other sources and in some cases isn't really beneficial either. Studies have also shown that milk is not a good calcium source, either (although a very quick google didn't find sources to back that up, so maybe its not accurate). The advice I heard from one doctor was: if you enjoy dairy, consume it in moderation, but don't rely on it for nutrition.
‘Gen C,’ the Covid generation
Not only would they disagree with you, but their strategy actually works. Leftists, "wokeness", and social justice wouldn't be the hot topics they've been if the strategy of leftists weren't effective.

In terms of "adults", they are few and far between. There will always be biological adults, but so many adults are emotionally stunted that it's difficult for me to give them the title. Just as domestically raised cats are more child-like than cats that have spent their lives on the streets, the average life of an adult in the west is replete with comfort and novelty so as to keep them from building maturity and character. This makes them incredibly easy to be shamed into doing whatever is considered acceptable by the society they're in.

Hi HN! I've spent over a decade creating startups, some that went nowhere and some that succeeded (2 exits - Soundwave was acquired by Spotify, Retro Patents was sold on Shopify Exchange). I'm now helping other teams avoid building the wrong thing using a reliable and repeatable product discovery process. There's obviously no magic bullet to product/market fit but the frameworks I've developed can help increase the likelihood of shipping something that sticks. I'd be happy to answer any questions and would welcome feedback!
Of course not. I think the Sackler family should be drawn and quartered. Notice I mentioned Oxy addicts.

Huh, I haven't seen that. Do you have any examples? Everything I've seen seems to indicate that most people are at least vaguely entertained by awards, while acknowledging that they're pretty frivolous.

But yeah, I would definitely expect it would be a whale market.
Maybe triggered by the sheer quantity of tax returns filed this year listing Binance as the platform used to trade cryptocurrency.

Flexibits' weakness is engineering, though. They could get eaten by a competitor that works its way up to a full calendar with a stronger foundation. Fantastical 3's move upmarket in response to Calendar.app improvements hasn't been easy for them so I don't know how much further they could push themselves.

That's not to say that a new competitor will put Flexibits out of business, but if the market for calendar management expands, I wouldn't expect Fantastical's share to grow proportionally. So there's an opportunity.
Indian immigrant to US here (non IIT, but Brahmin). Although I personally haven't seen or noticed casteism in the Indian community here or back in India for that matter. Although there were just a few idiots ... but it could very well have been my brahmin privilege or perhaps my urban upbringing.
I did notice a bit of persecution complex within Brahmins about "reservations" (India's affirmative action). But more alarmingly, nowadays anti-Muslim feelings are widespread and it's distressing to see that even in my immediate family.

To my fellow Indian-Americans : we need to be adults and stop being so defensive about anything critical about our community. While we can be justifiably be proud of our community's success, but also need to be aware that we are also eminently capable of folly, and alert to some of the disturbing undercurrents in our community. I feel we absolutely need to take these charges seriously, just as we would sexism or racism in America.
Capping visas based on country of birth, is literally racism.

> "There's a general phenomenon I've noticed on the internet. Any forum with free speech and little to no moderation becomes right wing. Leftist ideas cannot exist without censorship and moderation."

I suspect that "right wing" here is euphemism for more of sexism and racism. Because I can tell you that moderate conservative, economic conservative and for that matter libertarian forums all have moderation too. They cant exist without moderation and censorship either.

What happens however is that without moderation people will use harassment, trolling, both including massive sexist and racist statements to push away people who disagree with them. And people who dont want to be subjects of those leave. So you end up with people who are fine with trolling, racism and sexism and the end result is biased toward right wing. You know who will be harassed the most? Anyone perceived as feminist or sjw.

The actual extreme left, which I guess would be defined more as a marxism or communists, is relatively small in numbers. They are also pretty often sexists and racists too, so I dunno how it crosses with that.

Obligatory comment about how fast my M1 Mac is and how the battery lasts forever.

Offtopic: I despair that a calendar widget for my Mac is now a pay monthly thing. It is becoming widespread that things that were previously just a piece of software you could buy (then optionally upgrade in the future) are now a monthly cost.

It makes sense for high ticket pieces of software (Office, Photoshop), where it makes it more accessible for regular users. However, for a calendar widget or many similar examples that come up nowadays, it just turns me off immediately.

I have a bunch of points and I am not sure if they answer your question completely,

The reason caste still exists as an issue in India, is because
1. It is bought up every now and then, during elections or by the media to add fuel to an already burning issue.
2. It is used as an excuse to flout laws or treat a fellow human being as trash and maintain superiority over them.
3. Lack of education or a general lack of interest in knowledge which leads to people believing what they are told rather then trying to understand what is.
(could be more reasons as well which I am not be aware of)

Indians who are brought up in an environment where there is constant mixing of cultures, castes or religions typically do not bother about which caste or religion the person sitting next to them or having lunch with them. Like children of expats studying in the same school, places where political or economic situations bring/force people to exist together like labour camps in the middle east or communism dominated towns in Kerala.

The above group cannot/do not act on this issue because any concern raised over division by caste is immediately countered with whataboutism or alienation(even being disowned by family), which forces most educated Indians to go with the flow rather than oppose it. There are even outliers in this group that profit out of the divide like those who influence the first point stated above.
Unironically, which one is that then? Because as far as I can tell, both are armed and battering each other.
Yea, a recent example of environmental shaming that worked was the reduction of littering from cars. Roadside cleanup helped, but tossing stuff out of car windows used to be significantly more common.

What’s notable is no organization benefited from littering so there is little pushback on the subject, just millions of people behaving slightly differently.
Definitely. But the thing is, coming from Vim with a custom configuration I'm at a point where I'd first need to reverse engineer parts of Emacs and reconfigure a ton just to get back to where I left Vim. And if I learned something when trying it out then it's the futility of trying to cram Vim into it expecting it to work without a Frankenstein's monster vibe. There's always something off or incomplete. I don't think I'll try it again soon, but if I do it would be with something like God mode; for one because Evil mode somehow breaks Emacs when run in the terminal, and also because Vim and Emacs just don't mesh together well imho. They are both excellent at doing very similar things, but their approaches are just not compatible.

AFAIK, binance.com still allows logins from the US (if you have an old account from a few years back), you just can't trade in it (supposedly). However, you can transfer funds out of the account.

I had some coins stashed away on my binance.com wallets which I ended up transferring to binance.us and they sent me an email telling me that my binance.com account will be disabled after a 2 week grace period because I'm accessing it from the US. It's been more than a month now and I can still log into it. It seems that Binance took a more lax approach to this than other exchanges in the past which is biting them now.
There are max size rules for some of the pads, so a really large player would have exposed area.

Heat pumps list that temperature in the documentation of the unit.

I think most of the midwest figured this out during the recent cold snap. It turns out the cut off for my heat pump is 10F.

I'm in the process of finalizing the installation of a wood stove insert to provide backup heating during the cold months. Switching to all electric feels a little like burning cash to me.

If you're in the US, there is an incredible 26% tax credit available on stoves (wood and pellet) that are more than 75% efficient. This covers both the cost of the unit AND installation. It's good for about the next 2 years and went into effect in early Jan.

Amazon contracts haven't changed, they always have had the right to drop you for any reason.

Amazon is not a common carrier: the cloud, other people's data centers, have no legal requirement to be neutral about what runs on them (and it's not even clear how this would work given the difference between compute and communications).

Regarding the self-hosted version: ARM support would be nice. I dug in a bit more, and bitwarden is written in .NET core and SQL Server T-SQL.

.NET core is open source these days, but not SQL Server from what I can tell. I wonder if making it portable (to other architectures/BSD) would be a complete rewrite, or if there’s some easy path forward.
Sorry but I think you’re wrong. If your customer accidentally spills their drink you give them a replacement for free. It’s not a requirement, it’s just the kind of decency that builds good will, especially when the marginal cost to you is very low. Same principle applies here, where the marginal cost is literally zero.
