I guess if my math is right, that's 104 ppi after 3x scaling? Bit large, but not bad. Take a couple fonts down in size a tad and you're probably golden. I've been writing off 4k laptops, but this brings them back into consideration for me.
If the cost to LEO is a fraction of the cost to HEO or geostationary, it becomes economical to send cheap satellites to LEO and let them burn up in a few years than to send expensive satellites to HEO or geostationary and let them become multi-decade space junk.

Eg if it is $10m to LEO and $15m to HEO you will pay the extra to get to HEO and put a satellite designed for long life - but if it is $1m to LEO you can build a cheaper satellite and launch it 5 times over the following decades.
> Punishment for crimes like hate speech should be enforced

> "personal media" should not be arbitrarily controlled

This threw an exception, because "hate speech" is an arbitrary type. It has no objective definition. It is defined by whoever happens to be defining it.
Punishment for crimes like hate speech should be enforced

Can I assume you're not in America? In the USA, "hate speech" is not, and cannot be, a crime. The 1st Amendment forbids content-based limitations on speech.
There's another game that I think really goes to show orbital mechanics in how a little for longer is better (in controlibility) than faster for shorter. It's one of those low action games, so if you're into FPS, probably not your cup of tea. There are a couple of levels specifically for the oribiting examples.

It's been a while since I used SQL and I'm a bit rusty in it, but views would probably be the equivalent of Datalog rules, yes. The difference, as in my other comment to OP, is that Datalog rules are part of the Datalog program, which also stores the actual "tables" i.e. the facts. Whreas in SQL, views are only sort of ... virtual? Like I say I'm a bit rusty- but from my understanding, SQL vies don't live in the same space as tables.

Funny thing. It used to be my day to day work was 80% SQL. Nowadays it's 99% Prolog maybe with a little bit of bash and powershell scripting (gotta automate those experiments!). I kiiind of miss SQL? But not quite. Personally I don't 100% get the grumbling about SQL's syntax. It's unintuitive and it works very hard to hide the actual semantics behind it, but, eh, at least it has clean semantics.

I recently found this free book on databases that goes over both SQL and Datalog. It's a bit thick with obtuse terminology but it actually goes in depth over many useful topics:

I also recommend that to OP, if they're reading.

You're buying into conservative propaganda. Government is made up of people in exactly the same way a private firm is. The main difference is that I don't get to vote on what Zuckerberg does with my information.
Ameelio.org is looking to hire a FFmpeg expert for our video processing service
Hey HN,

Due to previous support we gained we thought with our current situation it would be best to once again go to this community and ask for help.

Here's a little background, first. Ameelio is a tech non-profit building free communications solutions for incarcerated people and their loved ones. Our newest product, Connect, will be launching its pilot soon. Connect is the video conferencing solution that will serve people affected by the prison industrial duopoly, for free.

We're looking to hire someone experienced with FFmpeg (and/or other similar tools such as gstreamer) for a short term contract to help us finish up the platform and deliver an awesome, scalable solution to the people we serve. You'll work with the core engineering team to build our video processing service. If you or anyone you know would be interested, please feel free to comment your details or email me (jesse@ameelio.org) and I'll get in touch. We're hoping to fill this position ASAP!

For transparency, our immediate offering is $50/hr. This is negotiable!

Much love, HN.

- Jesse
yes, that is exactly what I'm arguing. if everyone pays into a pool without any risk adjustment, that is effectively a subsidy to the risk-takers. I think that is a more fair way to understand rayiner's objection to "subsidies". I don't think he is seriously arguing that risk-takers should be denied care/testing/whatever altogether.

of course this is all hypothetical with the current state of US healthcare. step one has to be a reasonable cost baseline for people who don't elect a bunch of extra risk.
I am a cool person! :D

The primary incentive to onboard is the compounding. Similar to the investing advice of "Time in the market > Timing the market", "Time in CC > Less time in CC" due to the compound reward.
Congrats, to YC. The world is full of people who will discount the success of Brian and , but in just a few short years he's created one of the world's largest financial institutions.

In line with the ethos of crypto? No, not at all, but a bridge has been made between the old world and the new. This IPO will load the coffers of some of the most innovative VCs, engineers, and people who took the risk of investing in, and working at Coinbase.
One interesting trick I learned from great speakers - they tend to maximize variability upon several axes:

- Maximize emotional variability (feigned surprise, excitement, equanimity, urgency, reflection)

- Maximize tonal variability (high tones, low tones)

- Maximize cadence variability (slow speech, rapid speech, speech with pauses)

- Maximize facial expression variability (raised eyebrows, focused eyes, inviting/warm eye contact)

Basically any axis you can think of: if you increase the variability, it makes your presentation more captivating.

I've found generally that "performing" (that is, being conscious of how I am presenting) makes there feel like there is less pressure on "me" and more on the person doing the performing.

> I found that a good book in a good environment is all I really need to read more. It takes 5-10 minutes before my thoughts stop buzzing around and I can focus, but once I'm in that zone, I'm good for a while.

I think there is a huge variance in how ADHD people process information. I am 100% this way as well, but know just as many ADHD people who literally cannot finish reading even a short book. They often report audiobooks and podcasts as being much better, but I can take about 5-10 minutes of auditory input max before I am completely done. If I'm not moving I'll fall asleep[1], if I am moving my mind will wander and I'll just have 20 minute intervals that I have zero recall of ever hearing.

1: This made college lectures quite challenging. For one particularly bad class where the professor dimmed the lights to use an overhead projector, I sat in front of someone who had ample reason to want to kick me and told them to kick me any time I fell asleep. In another one that was fairly small (maybe 50 students?) the professor seemed to get sympathetic noticing I was struggling to stay awake and would wake me up as needed.

You would think they would raise for BTC/Cryptos instead of USD via IPO.

Another good example of the same is SEAT.
Unfortunately the only way to get around this is to have agreements in place with independent artists for the site that you could then provide to the RIAA when they come knocking. If you post music by artists signed to a label it's out of the artists' hand even if you attempt to put something in place directly with the artist. The RIAA is aggressive and well funded. Their entire objective is to make sure artists get paid whenever their music is played regardless of whether the site is free/no ads.

EDIT: Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, etc do not provide APIs to embed their players into other sites without some sort of licensing agreement in place.
One question - any advise how to deal with people who "borrow" your presentation, in other words, they interrupt, and start explaining the concepts for you.

Luckily I haven't encountered this often. And on at least one or two occasions, when something like this has happened, it's actually been a positive in that the person was adding useful information that complemented what I was already saying. In that case, I don't mind letting them go on for a minute or two.

That said, at some point you have to take back over if you're going to get through your material. It's not in my nature to generally be rude or brusque with people, but sometimes you may have to force the issue a little. You might choose to intentionally wear a wristwatch just so you can do the gambit of "conspicuously look at your watch, and then interrupt and say something like 'OK, in the interest of time we need to get back to the main thread now. Perhaps we can have a follow-up conversation later on XYZ.'"

A common interjection as well is something like "This is good stuff, but we're getting a bit off-topic. If you want to talk about that in more detail, grab me after the talk and we can chat." Something like that.
I'm horrendously worried about crypto gaining more marketshare as long as proof of work crypto remains mainstream. It has significantly worse externalities than just about any company I can think of (including defense contractors/vaping companies), and, if it grows larger before we have clean energy, then we virtually guarantee we won't be able to tackle global warming. We are going to bestow a world that will be significantly worse than the one we inherited to our children, and, it's not like the carbon emissions that crypto is creating are used in the service of creating valuable technology - it's literally useless proof of work.

I've worked in tech for a long time now, and I believe the stereotype about amoral techies is completely untrue - yet seeing the adoption of crypto among my peers is really depressing. I'm not sure how so many of my peers who would never ever work for a defense contractor or a vaping company are willing to work in crypto at this point. My objections are not ideological - if someone invented a cryptocurrency that was completely green and it would take over the market, I'd be totally in favor of it.

I would genuinely like someone to explain it to me, because, the kinds of essays I've read that try to argue that crypto is actually good for global warming are so shoddy that I can't believe people would take them seriously absent a huge dose of motivated reasoning.
I came here with the same question. When is this thing actually going live?

> The consequences for being a bad-actor are generally worse for a private individual or private organization.

I don't think it's this simple — for example, what consequences have Comcast, Verizon, Facebook, etc. had for stifling competition or reselling customer data? It seems to come back to how well the political process works in all of those cases.
No - that type of job shouldn't exist. Automate them, offshore them, let the business models that depend on this type of exploitive labor fail. Eventually, this sort of job is going to disappear anyway.

If paired with robust social safety nets, we can absolutely require jobs to pay a living wage.
It doesn't matter if all the activity is 100% speculative, that is still not a Ponzi scheme. Maybe you might call it a bubble, but it isn't a Ponzi scheme.

In order for it to be a Ponzi scheme, speculators would have to believe they are actually investing in a business which uses their investment to generate profit, and not simply speculating against other investors. The investors must be misled about the actual source of their returns.

Fair enough, but to a database theoretician SQL means "non-recursive conjunctive queries". And I skimmed the tutorial and there is not a single example of using Logica to compute something recursively. Transitive closure is the canonical example for showing off Datalog.
> BIPOC people _are_ different. They have different experiences in America. It's not racist to acknowledge and respect this.

Yes, it is. Treat people based on their experiences, not on what you expect people with their skin colour to have experienced.

> If you look at asthma rates in the Black community vs. the average, it's not guilt that motivates people to address it, it's rationality and decency.

If high asthma rates motivate you to do something, it should be to help asthmatics. Not to treat people differently based on their skin colour, which is racist.

> ...in the same way I don't forget my sex, gender, name, nationality, etc. These are core parts of one's identity.

There is no reason why people's skin colour needs to be part of their identity any more than their eye colour.

> Insofar as race exists, it's absolutely an individual trait?

Not a relevant one, unless you are a dermatologist or a sun cream salesperson.
I would surmise the traditional belief of western philosophy thusly:

1) I do not have perfect knowledge.
2) Good, or at least better, ideas will implicitly produce better results over long periods.
3) It is immoral to control the lives of others.
4) Therefore, people can argue for ideas they find compelling, and people are free to choose what they think is best.
5) Furthermore, people must bear the consequences of their decisions.

A further part of this system was that it was necessary for society to be structured such that individual choices do not have an outsized impact on others. This required that the apparatus of the state have specific constraints. It was quite a remarkable belief system, and much has been written about it over centuries.

I seem to be on the other side of the consensus here on HN.

If you accept defamation laws (and defamation laws are a thing in Singapore and many other places), then the question is whether you actively participated in the creation or dissemination of slander (again, assuming that creation and dissemination are both illegal).

We in the tech world have optimized various mechanisms to enable sharing information- we have gotten so good at it that our users don’t pause for a moment and think about their responsibility they bear when hitting that share button.

It’s like picking up cleanly packaged meat from the grocery store or filling up on gas from a gas station- the experience is so clean and polished that one doesn’t really think about where the meat/crude oil is coming from and what it means to be paying for it.

I think the courts held that one is responsible for what they share. It isn’t “merely” sharing a news article on facebook - the person had to decide to hit that share button.

Now, there are a lot of things wrong with this. But most of the problems come from having some defamation law to begin with.

I take issue with the law itself, but this interpretation of it doesn’t bother me.

IANAL, and I don’t know if dissemination is somehow different from creation in defamation cases. I expect it has to be - otherwise “Mr. X is a pedophile” can be illegal while “I heard that Mr. X is a pedophile” isn’t. Which seems dumb if one’s intent was to make defamation illegal in all ways.

Ok, you’re right. They’re both hostile countries. They both fund the destruction of others, whether that’s through terrorism or stealing of land.

We should stop selling bombs to everyone in the region, and pull all of our support. If they want to fight each other, let them. As long as the US blindly supports Israel, they will feel empowered to continue not being peaceful. We won’t though, since Israel is the beachhead of the petrodollar into the region. Just like no US president will stop giving weapons to the Saudis.

Israel is like my chihuahua that is only tough when she is on the leash. Let her off the leash and she is much less vicious to other dogs.

Only if they can't get you with public information. Suppose that your transactions reveal enough about you to allow the government to profile you, arrange a stake out (and thus get you in another way) or something like that. Or you could have left some trace in a direction which is not that much protected (like you bought something physical which has been delivered to you).

I think I'd need to see a better argument that we're moving the burden of consequences. Riding a bike with no helmet is known risky behavior; if they get hit by a car or fall or their bike and have to go to the hospital, would you say that's shifting the burden of consequence? People with Syphilis who get tested and help for it still pay their taxes, which helped fund their treatment. They still have consequences such as having to see a doctor, take medicine which may be unpleasant (ever have GI side-effects from an anti-biotic?), and of course they experience the side-effects of, you know, having Syphilis. The government isn't taking $20 out of your wallet to bribe the bacteria to not infect someone.
In addition to code reduction, this may also help reducing occupied branch prediction slots (mostly x86 I guess?). Say two conditional branches have 50/50 chance which does not benefit from branch prediction. Them merging the code with outlining can reduce them to one conditional branch instruction. Since it's still "unpredictable" during execution, one prediction slot is saved for free.
