It could be a custom rendering of OSM data... whatever it is has full street grids for land-locked villages in the middle of France, which I can't imagine them gathering on their own. And their requirements (particularly for the vessel overlays) are peculiar enough that having their own renderer seems pretty reasonable.
Yes it takes time to go mainstream but I disagree that it happens along generational lines.
At 1m, the 10Gbit/s fiber cable with both transceivers is about 1.5x the price of a USB 3.2 cable.

Of course USB wants to also support dirt cheap devices that don't need all that transfer speed. So you probably need to put the transceivers in the cable, to allow cheap devices to ship low-speed copper cables. Then you have problems with bulky cables, in addition to the bending radius challenges of fiber.
For remote development, I think this is a game changer. I use it with to create dev containers that support docker and even k8s clusters.

Fair enough, flexible is an extremely loose term. I was referring mostly to the ability to a language that's flexible enough to let library/tool authors create their own very high level abstractions and DSLs. In Go, lack of custom generics often makes this very difficult. You look at the kind of APIs offered by mega-popular data science toolkits like pandas and Spark, it's really hard to offer something similar in Go. You end up with a lot of inferface{} types everywhere, vectors/series/whatever carrying their type in a struct field, etc.
> Edmunds tested all of the cars the same way: on roads, highways, and freeways in the LA area. It tested each car using the same settings for A/C, etc.

That's... fairly generous to Edmunds. There was almost a 20 degree difference in temperatures between cars.

> How does Edmunds conduct its testing? The roads [...] driving around the greater Los Angeles area

Which can exaggerate the difference between cars. Suppose Car A has just enough battery to coast over the top of Angeles Forrest Highway and then regen down the other side. Car B rolls to a stop 1 ft from the top.

Most people would say these two cars have virtually the same range, but a test on hilly public roads could turn that into a 20+ miles difference in range.
Cultural politics has replaced religion. I'm sure if you did another poll, 90% of the US would say they are tightly aligned with a single political party and would not befriend/marry/hire someone of a different party. Tribalism and belief systems aren't going away, they're just changing the wallpaper.

It's even shorter timing than that. Spring tides occur at the full moon AND the new moon. So you get two chances every lunar cycle.
The Church is composed of the people in it. And should be judged by the actions of those that comprise it, otherwise you are abandoning all agency, and it may as well be dismantled as it could not be responsible for anything it does.

Also, no evidence of any god exists, but that is another argument. Let's stick with arguments that postulates the existence of a God in the Catholic tradition.

First, according to the Bible, papal infallibility has whatever the Church does held as law in Heaven. Stupid rule, but there you are. Therefore, if we judge that covering up and enabling child abuse is immoral, then the Church is by its own rule, immoral. Well, that doesn't work out so well for the Church. So let's leave that aside.

The Catholic Church (and other denominations) tries explain evil (and thus side step the "All Good, All Power, and All Knowing -- pick two problem of God), but claiming that it is all part of God's greater plan. The difficulty here is that it doesn't side step the problem, but tried to solve it by adding a layer of abstraction to it. What you end up with is that God's plan has to be definitionally immoral because it came from the mind of God.

The answer is, of course, who can know the mind of God? It sort of kicks the can down the road much the way the Millerites (now Seventh Day Adventists) do on the end of the world and QAnon does with Trump coming back (was it January 20th? Or March 6th? Or March 20th?). Evil exists because God's plan demands it, but somehow removes the responsibility of God's plan from God.

So, the children were abused by the men acting in God's name because God's plan demanded their suffering, but God owns none of the responsibility because you can't possibly understand the reason that God required the suffering of those children. Nice work, if you can get it.

Free will (in the Catholic tradition) allows the ability to see the harm that actions do upon others, but somehow we are supposed to turn a blind eye to that done under the protection of God. Because those children were clearly not under the protection of God.

Divine Physician, indeed. Physician, heal thyself.
The "spring tide", the highest of the high tides, naturally occurs twice every 28 days. This is when the Sun, Earth and Moon are in a line. So the average wait would have been ~7 days.
GEB as literature stands up much better than GEB as musings on AI. The book practically invented a new form of expression that hasn't been matched to this day, with recursion between modalities in every chapter.
I do exactly the same. If I see a popup covering a significant portion of the popup I just close the tab. It is rare that I am interested enough to actually click though, when the title is "Facebook tracks you" it definitely isn't worth it to me.

We have reports from the workers stating so. We also have a denial from Amazon saying they don't have workers peeing in bottles. Seems that denial hasn't held up too well.
I'm not OP, but I felt compelled to offer my own response to this one. Hopefully some people find my perspective interesting.

1) I grew up in a different church - the Catholic church. It felt more like a social club than anything else so I grew up with barely any understanding of the religion to which I supposedly subscribed. I became somewhat jaded towards large, organized religious organizations and floated around a few smaller-scale churches as I tried to learn more about Christianity and, in particular, the Bible. I no longer attend a "church" but I regularly attend lecture-style bible studies put on by a local middle school teacher.

2) One of the things that appeals to me about the Bible study I attend is that it's very very slow compared to most churches. We often spend an hour doing nothing but covering as few as one or two verses. That time is spent analyzing the text by comparing translations, linking it to related verses, explaining the Hebrew/Greek words used in various manuscripts, filling in historical context with what we know from archeology and other ancient records, and comparing interpretations of various theologians and denominations. Often times the teacher will present his own interpretation, but invite us to be critical and point to other possible interpretations.

One thing I've discovered since leaving the Catholic church is that studying the Bible goes far beyond just listening to sermons and reading what ever hard copy happens to be most accessible to you at the time. It's hard work and I'm not surprised most people aren't interested. I doubt I'd get far if there weren't scholars and teachers compiling and presenting the information for my benefit.

3) This question inclines me to believe you don't understand a fundamental aspect of Christianity, which is that God's sun (Jesus) was made a sacrifice so that humans would no longer be bound by sin or the laws of Moses. Christianity teaches that people are saved by faith alone, not by adhering to laws or refraining from sin. Or course, part of that belief suggests a desire to recognize and refrain from sin. I do not use grace as an excuse to sin, but I recognize that I fail from time to time and so does everyone else. Also, while societies values sometimes align with those described in the Bible, I do not expect non-believers to adhere to Christian values nor do I have any desire to enshrine Christian values in secular law.

4) It's interesting how many people have strong opinions on Biblical Christianity without knowing hardly anything about it. I still consider myself a complete novice, but I know enough to recognize how shallow a lot of the criticism is. Of course, there is also plenty of intelligent criticism and I don't pretend to have all the answers nor can I promise that future me wont be persuaded to abandon his faith. But so far I simply haven't seen anything that compels me to believe the Bible is wrong.

Some people believe science and the Bible are at odds with one another, but I don't see how. I've had no trouble embracing both and I'm perfectly capable of differentiating between knowledge based on science and knowledge based on the Bible.
You're right that it outmatches it, but it's the first time that the consumer can directly influence things by getting their voice heard. Previous cancel culture was limited to those who already had a captive audience: churches, large corporations, marketing agencies, and news outlets. Now that there's a wider, and (arguably) more free ability to communicate in large groups and quickly organize and share information, it's simply turning in new directions under the leadership of end users instead of opinionated juggernauts.

Instead of cancelling rap music for explicit lyrics we're cancelling people who, despite their credentials or accomplishments, are still terrible people. The backlash isn't even that he's just done terrible things in the past, it's that he stands by his terrible opinion that he has done nothing wrong.

Nitpick 1: That DTD is for HTML 2.0, which was published in 1995. If that does not qualify as "back in the day", I don't know what does.

Nitpick 2: <meta> goes inside <html> (inside <head>, really).

Nitpick 3: The <meta> tag is only a band-aid for shitty webhosting where you cannot access the webserver config to make it send the correct Content-Type in the actual HTTP response headers. The modern <!DOCTYPE html> instead implies a default of UTF-8 which works well for most.
In terms of evidence occuring in modern times, I think the various miracles in the 20th century are strong candidates.

One might also look into the testimonies of various exorcists in modern times for evidence that the supernatural exists: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhhi7Fk3ueI

We also have stigmata, such as those received by Padre Pio: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padre_Pio

Just trying to offer a few more things that count as evidence from modern times.
In all fairness, this same rhetorical technique was commonly used in the faith that I was raised in. We were often taught that one could violate the Jewish/Christian commandment to "have no other gods before me" by placing more importance on material goods or hobbies (your car, your boat, sports, etc.) than worshiping God.

In sum RMS argued that "sexual assault" in the colloquial sense is not the same as "sexual assault" in the statutory sense when as when it involves a legal minor, which is perfectly true.

Trust the woke group and SJWs to create a storm in a teacup over such a statement.
Seems more like simple lying.
While I'm sure everyone here on Hacker News is hoping this happens, it won't. Large companies are adopting cryptocurrency. Telsa accepts it as payment. Visa is starting to settle transactions on Ethereum. Coinbase is about to IPO.

And if it does, it won't matter. How do you even ban Bitcoin? Are they going to set up a great firewall? Cryptocurrency isn't the type of thing you can just ban.
Yes. If you need 10x less performance, you'd choose OpenBSD. Otherwise you'd go for DragonFly
No, just the uninformed do so.
I have to deal with a couple of people like this and it's a waking nightmare. I'm trying to figure out if it's even possible to mitigate their damage or successfully negotiate with them, or if I just need to change jobs. This behavior is especially bad when it comes from manager / team lead types.
The word "EVERGREEN" is painted on the side of the boat about 400 feet long and maybe 60 feet tall. I think it's fair to misinterpret that as the name of the boat, and not the name of the company that owns the boat. Especially so because the two names are so similar.
Looks promising. Judging by the screenshots, this just solves what I didn't like about Dokku - the need to configure the application from the terminal, instead of a convenient web panel.

Will it be possible to use Golang? Or use the Dockerfile from the repository to build the container and run it? This way you can even compete with Portainer.
Particularly since - per a Clubhouse call I lurked on - it appears ETH is heavily sequestered by a small number of whales, it appears to be increasingly inflationary, and if the call's participants are to be believed there are several difficult technical problems many, many months from being resolved. I lack the expertise to know how much of this is true, but I did think to myself after listening that XLM has none of these issues.
This is possible literally now, but barely anyone actually wants it.

I don't necessarily buy that this is equivocating anything. How else would you define sleep scientifically other than as a nightly cycle that follows a circadian rhythm and propagates metabolic and hormonal changes throughout the body?

If you're trying to argue that it needs to have a "rest" component to it, I would remind you that during night time, trees do not photosynthesise and also the human brain is not at all at rest during sleep in terms of objective neurochemical activity. Consciousness is lost (except even this is a hazy cut off thanks to dreams) but there is a lot going on still in the brain and body.
Are you using Type-C to Type-C cable with an Android phone?

I noticed Cloudfront sets a TTL of 60 seconds on its distributions and also on the elastic load balancers. You pay for every Route 53 lookup if you have an ALIAS record pointing there, as is typical. So AWS does not have an incentive to set it any higher.

But if I understand it correctly, you can point a CNAME with a long TTL to the appropriate cloudfront.net record, and then you only pay for the CNAME one. The cloudfront.net lookup will not cost you anything. But the latency for your users will be worse because it adds a lookup (because an ALIAS record gets resolved without a lookup).
Agreed (I should read the questions more carefully) - this is stuff you learn working on the corporate world in about 10-15 years if you pay attention or what you can learn in an MBA program IFF you don't treat the program as a rote cookbook - it's not even that.

There's nothing too complicated about it - my father taught me most of this by osmosis before I even graduated from high school because he's come home and talk about all the things he did (he was a business unit director - a business unit he founded after years in engineering sales) and the political intrigue that came with it. My MBA was marginally useful - the biggest value was the paper of the diploma which small minds think is important. I learned 90% of the knowledge before I stepped foot into my first MBA course from working in industry and from my father.

The one added thing: accounting is really important because everything you do as an entrepreneur generally begins and ends with accounting. All your projections and costing built into your pitch deck are derived from accounting specifically income statements. My MBA mostly cemented my accounting knowledge and my ability to use Excel to its corners (99.99% of accounting and finance uses Excel).

I think you clarified where the 'something can't come from nothing' argument originates from (and that it's separate from the watchmaker one).

My point was just that as an argument the answer being 'god' isn't very compelling when it then just moves the question to 'where did god come from', nothing is actually explained by this.

In my experience with religious people you get unsatisfactory answers to that, so adding massive complexity (god) as an answer doesn't really help when it can't answer the underlying question (it just introduces a new and more complex one). This is ignoring all the other problems with the god hypothesis which don't hold up either.

I think Wallace is right in a sense. But I think 'worship' is the wrong word and if we're interpreting this literally then no, there is such thing as atheism.

I get the sense people too often take this quote out of context to suggest atheism is some form of religion. Wallace was a master of the metaphor. I don't believe that he meant this literally. I think he could have used the word 'nihilist' instead and gotten the point across but I understand why he didn't.
> I think the modern cancel culture outmatches any cancelling happened before. Through the internet, almost any people can get “cancelled” by a large number of people.

I think it's the opposite: if you got cancelled previously—Walmart, Barnes & Noble, etc. stopped selling your book perhaps—you'd simply disappear into a memory hole. Nobody would have a way to find out about it, so nobody would know to care. Now at least other people may find out about it, and you can make a stand to fight back.

The internet forgets plenty, and whether the mob's forgiveness even matters depends on whether your audience is in the mob.

No, I doubt he changed his opinion. You're totally right, I misremembered a personal conversation with him where we discussed this principle. Quite embarrassing!

It appears that I would defend the traditional falsity condition, like others do, too, and that was probably even part of our disagreement. Regarding the "palter", I'm pretty sure he defended that this is not a lie. But after my misrepresentation of his position you definitely shouldn't take my word for it. This is not my line of work anyway, in my opinion you can define these concepts as needed relative to a more encompassing theory or purpose, and it doesn't make much sense insisting on one definition over the other. For instance, I believe in a legal context a lie could be defined very differently than for purposes of a moral theory. Regarding the everyday use, I find the version with the falsity condition I've presented above the most compelling.

On the other hand, they hired the best salvage company in the world to remove the ship, that company ran massive calculations on the loads in the ship, and then they determined the application of forces needed to dislodge the boat.

How to stop Mac App Store notifications
It's easy to see parallels if you really want to look. The cycle of reincarnation is the thing that Hindus want to escape from (both seek unity with god), and it can be described as monotheistic as well.

Just different approaches to the same divine.
> It's hard to believe that there is a standard and devices are widely deployed that mess so so much with their environment.

This is entirely a problem of our own making.

We give cellular providers hundreds of MHz of exclusive spectrum access, and then deprecate and auction off the old analog TV channels to give them hundreds more, but we expect everybody else to shove all of their traffic into a 100 MHz block at 2.4 GHz.

It's not that this standard is doing anything particularly nasty to the environment, it's just that it happens to be messing with the one tiny head-of-a-pin that we've decided everything needs to live on.

It's a computer controlled radio for crying out loud, give us 400 MHz and let the computer figure out how to hop around.
No, there are tremendous differences between secularism and Christianity, while Christianity and Communism have identical consequences for the life of a typical citizen.

Communism, Christianity, and also the other monotheist religions, are extremely intolerant against the believers of any other religion.

Secularism is the opposite, at most you could say that secularism is like many polytheistic religions, where it was considered normal that everyone believes in their own gods and for the other people it does not matter which are those gods.

The life of a normal citizen of a communist country was very similar, for example, to the life in Italy or Spain 600 years ago, when the Church was more powerful. It might have actually been worse, because the Communist Party might have been more powerful than the Catholic Church ever was.

Permanently you had to be very careful with everything you said, because if you ever contradicted some dogma written in the Holy Communist Scriptures or some interpretation given by a High Communist Priest, you could be singled out as an heretic and be excommunicated, with very bad consequences.

Regarding the Communist dogmas, everything was based on "have faith and do not doubt". It was absolutely impossible to have any discussion about communism based on rational arguments or on experiment results.

Like Christianity, Communism blocked any kind of scientific research that could contradict in any way its Holy Scriptures. To make progress in any career, you had to either be or simulate that you are a true believer and you had to display frequently your faith in the Communist religion.

It does not matter what words are used by Christianity or Communism, wherever any of them succeeded to control the state institutions, the consequences were the same for the citizens, no freedom of speech and severe discrimination between believers and non-believers.

Secularism was precisely the reaction against this, having the purpose of allowing the freedom of speech and religion.
