So, people die of starvation in civilized countries - that doesn’t make it right - but we also don’t put up plaques celebrating it.

And that really is the problem - in the one hand we have laws (set by governments) in a civil society that says violence is wrong, political violence doubly so, but at the same time they are putting up a plaque celebrating political violence.

It’s like “violence is bad... (wink)”

So if you were going to put up a plaque to Tony Blair celebrating his involvement in the Good Friday Agreement, I wouldn’t have an issue with it. I loathe the man personally and dislike much of his politics- but you are highlighting a positive thing he did.

Celebrating someone who is literally only thought of today because they failed to murder someone on the street sends a crazy message: “Murder is wrong... (wink)”

Somewhere an engineer was tasked to write software that does an inventory of my network to see what new shiny hardware of theirs I don’t yet own.

Then, the software that was written to manage a product that I paid for shoves a call-to-action that takes a considerable amount of the page to suggest I buy it. And I can’t dismiss or close it.

The difference with ads on the web is that I paid for the privilege of being served this garbage. In my mind, this is much worse.

You know, if you want to just ignore the premise, you could also point out that genies aren't real, magic doesn't work, and heck, even for the physical objects there's no way I could be prevented from reselling my brand new shotgun or car or pile of drugs! But in doing so, you might miss the point of a thought experiment like this.

There is a difference between things that are desirable in and of themselves, and things that are desirable because of their trade value. The term "intrinsic value" is used to make that distinction. It doesn't mean things without intrinsic value are bad, or broken, or doomed to fail. It's not a strictly negative or positive distinction. But it is a useful distinction to be able to make.

If you redefine "intrinsic value" to include "trade value", you have just made the word "intrinsic" meaningless. Is there any type of asset that does not have intrinsic value, using this new definition?

Now, getting out of the realm of hypothetical genies and magic, you can make an argument that government regulation cannot realistically prevent trade in Bitcoin, so that trade value will be maintained. No intrinsic value is required. I'm not so sure that the trade value would hold up without the buying pressure from retail investors and businesses wishing to comply with US law, but reasonable people can disagree.

The Greeks had a god of wealth that they worshipped, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plutus. Furthermore, there is an entire page of sex/fertility deities on Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_love_and_lust_deities.

Maybe you are conflating theism with monotheism.

I like the article, but it is kind of badly written.

> It’s no secret that Intel has stumbled lately...

How so? If you're going to assert something, explain what you mean. This is too ambiguous. We might know how they've stumbled, or we might have different ideas about how than the author, or we might not be in the loop. Give some background, explain your assertions.

>Intel has never licensed its x86 CPU designs (well, not for a really long time)...

So not never then. Then why say never in the first place?

Just a couple of examples. The article gives you a feel for what's changing at Intel, but it uses a lot of cruft that take away from the information itself and doesn't really give you a full picture.
Would that happen before or after that company already sunk money on one of these robots?

Most boxes are designed to withstand inward pressures, not necessarily outward. And those specs are based on a lot more thorough of testing than "well we tried it a couple times and it didn't break, so I guess we're good"; I'd need to see one of these handling a lot of boxes without issue before I'd throw it into a warehouse.
Sorry, not joking at all. Since it’s a React app I thought it might literally be a node_modules folder.
The average room takes 2 loads of laundry, which would be in the neighborhood of 10kw of electricity. 1 gallon of gas represents the same energy (ignoring losses) as 33kw.

The average 2017 car in the US got 25mpg. So with a 15+mpg difference, you'd need to either drive 5 miles or less per day (0.3g difference), OR average 100 miles per day and have the hotels wash the laundry 20x as much.
Movement feels a bit wonky. I'd expect attacks to take priority over movement, where if you're moving and tap attack, your character would throw out a jab and keep moving. Currently you have to let go of left/right to be able to attack.

Just my opinion, there's a lot of extremism around handling covid, basically a religious reverence where no measure is too severe to prevent even one death.

But it would be a mistake to apply this thinking in reverse as well. Rare reactions to a vaccine, even if tragic, should not be cause for general alarm or be a reason to stop using it.
dude just leave, it's not worth your time. go to an engineering firm or something.
It’s too bad electric RVs aren’t much of a thing. They have a lot of roof space for solar panels, often have unfurling extensions that could also have solar, plus RV hookups are essentially 12kW Level 2 chargers which is plenty for a full charge after staying there for a day (although there’d need to be >250kW charging stations on the road) even with a massive battery.

And because of the high fuel consumption of RVs, you’d get greater cost/energy advantage with electric than you would for a small efficient commuter.
There is no analogy with diamonds, because Apple doesn’t buy up a supply.

There is no supply to buy up - these are just a part apple has made for their own product.

If you use the logic that parts you make for your own products are ‘monopolies’, then most product companies are monopolies, and the term becomes meaningless.
I am quite surprised at the amount of negativity surrounding this piece.

Yes, it's sort of clickbait-y. You don't need to feel like you're about to wither and die because you just turned 44.

Yes, it's deeply anecdotal. Lots of older people are incredibly successful in their fields. That 65-year old engineer you know is great!

But frankly, it doesn't matter who you are, or what you do: you will begin to get worse at it some day. And if you define your value by how good you are at this thing, you're gonna feel pretty shitty when you can't do it any more. For a forum that is defined around the development of technical and business skills, I would think that would resonate a little bit.

It doesn't seem like such a crazy idea to me that we need to redefine our own self worth as we age and change. And I think the author provides some excellent advice in that respect, particularly in his exhortations to Serve and Connect.

Nationalistic and ideological flamewar are not what this site is for, and people are routinely descending into near-madness about this. The comments are predictable, over the top, and unbelievably lame. Users who want to yell at each other and blare national/ideological rhetoric need to post elsewhere. Boilerplate talking points belong elsewhere also.

This is becoming epidemic on HN. I think we are going to have to ask the community to get a lot more systematic about flagging comments that flout this site's rules and intended spirit—regardless of which side of the battle they're on.

This is the point at which some angry zealot accuses us of being secret communist agents. Not at all—we're just trying to have an internet forum that isn't dominated by cartoonish ideological and nationalistic yelling.

Consequence Argument
She died of anaphylactic shock, which is not unheard of with medications or vaccinations. It's sad, but extremely unlikely.

With over 550M doses administered worldwide (with different vaccines), total anaphylactic shock cases would have to surpass 1100 just to match the risk of being struck by lightning in a given year, which is 1 in 500,000.

Worth putting in perspective compared to the risks of dying from covid-19, if infected, which are much higher than that even for a young person.
Lol there are people that do this every day. Either they take a principled stand against tech and turn down lucrative research roles in industry, or, for example, they turn down funding from the military; I switched PhD programs last year because I did not want to work on object detection for the army. In doing so I forewent a very nice fellowship. I don't say this because I want a pat on the back but just to demonstrate that it's very common.

> He's always thankful for the reports, but he usually apologizes (!), which makes me worry I'm just creating all this work for him... so I don't quite know what to do.

So, this is probably a cultural issue.

Have you tried heading this off by apologizing first, in the report? Alternately, being thankful in the report may work out better. Or you can try both.

Note that mirroring like this can come across as sarcasm or ridicule if you recycle their exact phrasing or exaggerate it, so don't do that.
Actually, prior to the start of the industrial revolution, the definition of "productivity" was "Spend nearly every waking hour tending the fields (that someone else owns) if you're a man, or spinning flax and wool (to make clothes for you and your family) if you're a woman."

Not much left to better the community when keeping yourself fed and clothed[1] is two full-time jobs. And that's for free-persons, who aren't serfs, slaves, or indentured labourers.

[1] Prior to industrialization, it took something close to ~3,000 work-hours a year[2] to keep a family barely-clothed. Add another thousand or three if you wanted to have a change of clothes for Sundays.

> the problem is actually a philosophical one.

This is what I would say too if I had no evidence for the things I was claiming exist.

> your stance is that God doesn't exist because God doesn't exist?

You said Kierkegaard et al's arguments should be easy to refute. If I come up with a clever argument for the existence of leprechauns, and no one can refute my amazing logic, do leprechauns all of a sudden magically exist? Again, there is nothing to refute. You can come up with the most magnificent argument you like for a god, but that god either exists or does not, independent of that argument, and my inability to refute any claims you've made is not evidence your god exists.

>How do you know whether or not it exists?

Is there a hidden third option I'm missing?

> Disagree completely, they all presented interesting arguments.

Replace in any of those arguments the word "unicorn" instead of "god" and they are as equally meaningful.

Or "by doing as little as possible".

It's easy for me to throw together a small house, shed or bridge, but chances are whatever I build -- if it doesn't immediately collapse -- is horribly overbuilt for its purpose, because I don't know how to calculate and analyze the various stresses and material capacities well enough to size everything to a proper margin. So when I build a bridge I use lumber that is bigger than I think I need and use more of it than I think I need until it feels quite solid, but if I were a proper engineer I could figure out the exact right amount to use.
Serious question, how does anyone reconcile the fact that if there's a God, he's a total narcissist? How can a perfect all-father creator be such a narcissist wouldn't that be the opposite of what you'd imagine a god-figure to be?

Worship me, come to me, I'm the one and only, no other gods but me... everything happens because of me... worship me or else you'll go to hell.

All things I swear a cult leader or Donald Trump or any other narcissist in history would say to their followers and they'd eat it up because they just want someone to tell them how to get through life.

> Scientific Materialism posits that you are merely a random bag of particles, bouncing through a random universe.

No, it doesn't. (Scientific materialism posits rules, it concludes (or models with) randomness only where the best efforts to model rules without randomness fail.

> In such a model, there is no intelligence, consciousness, rationality or even reason.

False. There's not teleological purpose, if that's what you mean by “reason”, which is a heavily overloaded term, but all the others (including reason in its causal sense) are compatible with scientific materialism.

> There's nothing about the Church that is 'anti reason'

That depends on the Church; and recently the ones which don't have a fundamental conflict with reason have been losing people to irreligion, while those which do have such a conflict have had all the growth. So, over time, the religion that exists progressively has more of a conflict with reason.

Because they can give it to you for more.

If you put a price on your website you lose everyone who doesn't want to pay it, and you get that price from everyone else. There is no "perfect" price. You either undercharge on average or you lose some customers because they can't afford it.

If you make people call you can charge each person the exact amount that they are willing to pay.

I'm not saying it is "morally" optimal. But there are a bunch of legitimate reasons to try this strategy.
This feels a lot like rewriting a big chunk of D3 in React, for purity's sake. Maybe there's something to that, but the code is comparably long in both cases, and if I have to load a bunch of concepts into my brain's resident set, I wonder if I wouldn't prefer those concepts to be D3's, which work in a bunch of different places, and not an idiosyncratic set of React components, which only work in a small set of codebases.

So for me, I feel like I got most of the answer from: get a ref from useRef, and use a useEffect to watch a data set and map the data to the ref using D3 itself.
I suppose maybe I'm missing something, but this seems a bit on the vague side. Furthermore, I am far from an expert on the history of biblical texts; to be quite frank there's a general text (okay, maybe two) that's accepted by every Christian church I know of. I'll try to answer your point regardless. While over several millenia there certainly may have been some minor changes to the text, I would like to break this down into two major points:

1. The Bible is has (to my knowledge) by far the largest corpus of ancient texts compared to pretty much anything prior to the invention of the printing press. The existence of so many ancient texts (both directly, translations, and quotations in other materials) spanning so far both geographically and temporally with fairly minor differences is rather compelling evidence for the accuracy of many biblical manuscripts. A similar interplay is found within the Bible itself. I can think of numerous other passages commonly used to support the doctrine of the trinity from both the Old and New Testaments. Similarly, there are several accounts of as well as numerous prophecies of Jesus' resurrection. The adultress in Mark is actually found in a significant portion of ancient manuscripts; that it is not found in all is noted in most translations I've seen.

2. I stated this somewhere below, but put simply: God isn't going to let the Bible change contradictory to its original meaning (cf. Isaiah 55:11, although I could probably find a better reference for this).
The irony is one of AEI's goals is that the workers who create all created wealth be put out to pasture early so that heirs owning majority shares of corporations can profit.
