Not having money is horrible.

The only benefit of not having money is that it makes all other horrible life conditions and outcomes seem somewhat less horrible comparatively. It dulls the pain and stress receptors.
I think it might have been that then. The keyboard was genuinely like pressing down on a brick on what was at the time a fairly new laptop.

What is going on with Chia? Over the last week I've been getting news stories about Chia miners buying up hard drives and driving up prices. But I haven't really seen prices going up. And I looked into Chia and it seems like it is just running a testnet right now. And my coworker has not been getting the same news stories about hard drive prices.
> and increasing the cost of vehicle operatorship would reduce there quality (labor shortage) or increase the cost of those services.

Yes. That's the solution that would naturally occur. Then those people are not wasting the roads because somebody values their use of them enough to pay for it. I'm talking about people who have no reason to be in the expensive area except aimless driving or sightseeing or whatever. Those people will be discouraged from impeding the people who have more valuable reason to be there - like all workers.
As opposed to illegal images, generating text does not physically harm someone. But it's known that some models will provide actual addresses of living people if a specific enough prompt is given. What if fragments of text from someone's sensitive blog posts start showing up between the lines of a dungeon crawl?

I have to wonder about the legal implications of an AttnGAN or word-to-image type model trained on nothing but illegal pornography. Or one where the ratio of legal to illegal content the model was trained on is unknown and impossible to determine. There are some jurisdictions that consider synthetic images or text to be a victimless crime. At what point does the line become crossed and the images start becoming recognizable and realistic enough to be illegal at first glance under any usual circumstance, but are actually generated from nothing? How would people be able to prove the origin and veracity of such images for the purpose of submitting evidence of a crime?
So you are not hiding behind contracts if something is obviously wrong? Because that is the statement that is being made here. Has nothing to do with ads or nationality.

All we know about accenture around here (which is not the USA) is that they are good at covering their ass and the actual users of the stuff they produce are never happy.
If you are willing to bend some ethics, brain organoids and other similar organ-on-chip solutions are quite promising. Though it is important to note that scaled down brains may not necessarily express the same behavior vis-a-vis a full sized human cortex.

No, each person does not believe the other person is getting the shorty end of the stick. They have different preferences, they both know this, so they both know that they are both better off after the exchange. The third party know this also.
To be clear, there are two versions of the PM522; one of them has hardened steel liners for the chambers. That’s the one I’d trust.
I run out of cognitive energy for coding faster than I run out of time. Sometimes the slow and stupid way is optimal because it saves cognitive energy.

I suspect coders "forage" more than this time-based model predicts because it's cognitively easier than deciding where to "navigate" or how to "enrich".
I want to play mobile games on mobile. Frenzic is a gold star example of a game that plays best on a handheld touchscreen. (It's also been out of print for years, sadly.)
seems like there's an implication here that apple should be running the app store as a charity or at least at-cost.

that's always such a weird one with this site's libertarian/pro-business bent. it's good to make a successful business and make money... no not like that!

there is nothing stopping anyone from setting up their own competing ecosystem (another walled garden, even). Google did exactly that, featurephones still exist, etc. There are legitimate end-user reasons for doing it this way (namely, facebook and others would immediately start their own app stores to end-run around app review so they could exploit permissions and exploit user privacy for profit, just as they already got caught doing).

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/01/facebook-and-google-...

People are mad because they don't like Apple's business model, which doesn't involve them, so they want Apple to be forced to do business with them on their own terms. Very anti-libertarian, which is again ironic but not out of character for libertarians. Bioshock was right, libertarians are pro-freedom of business right up until someone else has a bigger business.

This is very much in the range of Apple's freedom of business. Go make your own software ecosystem and you can do whatever you want with your app store. Again, just like Google did.
$0 for a bandwidth heavy service on AWS? Yeah... no.
Per your quote they're lamenting the (apparent) refusal to learn what it is, not master it or how to apply it. This is a perennial management problem (well, a perennial organizational problem, but exacerbated when it's the managers). I've worked in offices that were absolutely convinced source code version control meant handing off a file or document to a person who kept the diffs and everything in sync, perhaps with their exclusive use of (often) some 80s or 90s version control system that no one else was allowed to directly access. I didn't need the managers to learn git (in the sense of being able to use it) but I did need them to learn that there were much better ways than the absolutely dysfunctional approaches they were preferring (due to familiarity).
Intuitively, the risks of viral vector vaccines are well known because they have been used for at least a decade while mRNA are being used in large scale for the first time only now.
The history of science is mostly recent too. The atomic theory, for example, was still controversial until just a little over 100 years ago. Turing's paper on universal computation and the halting problem was published less than 100 years ago. General relativity is almost exactly 100 years old. Werner Heisenberg died less than 50 years ago. Some of his students are still alive.
> Do you think you could pass an amendment expanding the second amendment had the court ruled more narrowly on it?

Depends on how narrowly. Overall I would consider an amendment strengthening the 2A more likely than removing the 2A.

There are relatively few states with strict gun laws and more constitutional carry states every year.
Sorry, I'm not responding to anything specific you said. I'm just adding my thoughts. Many women are attracted to certain careers like technology because of the prestige attributed to them by the media. Being a 'hacker' is very trendy. What these women don't understand is that having lots of women in the trenches fighting Arabs and in the trenches repairing our municipal sewage systems is just as important for equality as having women being paid well to sit at a desk and program computers. I hope that didn't makes no sense.
I am not a virologist, but blood clotting might be related to the specific payload rather than the platform. The original SARS-CoV2 has the same property. Could it be related to the spike protein?
Here is a different question - what makes it an atrocity? You could be technically correct and say "Because other people decided it." but that doesn't give any insight into why.

A natural rights framework has the thumbprint of a lawyer along with outmodedly telological way of thinking that can only see a wrong as a "crime" but is willing to construct justifications for what they already believe.

But mixed in the principles isn't just accepting "is wrong because I said so" as a proof. Thus it has contrived post hoc cruft to achieve consistency with assumptions but also underlying ethical principles.
Curious, about your last question, seems like no one knows.
I find stuff like this very interesting and hadn't heard of LITEMPO before, thanks!
The problem if the vacine was not the efficiency. It was rejected based on poor documentation, and quality control. Both serious problems that need to be solved before approval in any serous regulatory agency.
For a total n00b, could you explain why subtracting a char is a division?

“It doesn't seem like there could be much to say about that. The A structure is 7 bytes long so the subtraction implicitly divides by 7. That's about it.”

This is exactly the way I feel.

After working at home for ~13 months now, it will be very hard for me to go back to the office. I have young kids at home and getting to spend extra time with them every day is a huge gift, on top of having no commute. There are some negatives, but I feel just as productive and more engaged.
This is not a question. It's just a post about your project.

It's fine to post here about your projects (if you don't repost too much) but disguising it as a question will make people make snarky comment and flag it.

Also, your definition of (close to) free is very strange and will make people make snarky comment and flag it.
>It's not really binary though.

Might be. Depends on the company too.
That makes the comparison pretty exact.

But if you brought home any random chip of corundum and said, "look, a ruby", you might get funny looks. People can be pretty particular about their rubies and (not incidentally) sapphires.
> Novice developers have considerable difficulty in foraging among different versions of the same code.

In my experience developers generally find it difficult in any singular version of code, even code they fully control. Leaving my last job I did a considerable amount of knowledge transfer (20 hours of dedicated sessions, nearly all the rest of a month informal KT), and something that kept surprising me was how much time I spent sharing debugging techniques that were either exploratory (walking up the call stack, stepping through execution) or were platform-specific pain points but very well understood (async boundaries).

Overall my takeaway was that most people just read docs and existing bug reports, and if they don’t find the answer there they tend to get lost and give up.
That's intuitive from a population-based standpoint. The more time spent sleeping, the less time kids have to eat or snack which lowers their daily caloric intake.
While sheer number of transactions lowers fees the likely small transaction size raises them. Best number I saw was consumers averaging 14$ transaction sizes with freemium games, though fortnight may be unusual sub 2% fees seems extremely unlikely.
Working from home has actually increased productivity for the two teams I manage. Far less waisted time with "drive by" coworkers. We're also more flexible with time off when needed.

Add to that my ability to help around the house. Before I was basically absent from the house for 9-10 hours a day M-F. Now I can make my kids lunch, go on a walk with them, or sign off a little early and go to a park.
OP is implying that people are playing on phones because they have them, not because it’s a good experience.

This could be especially true of a core (not casual) game like a shooter.
That really is the whole difference between rich and poor - how much resources you have access to. You may not like the fact that we aren't all equally wealthy but it's the reality. I want a CNC machine but I can't afford one because I'm poor. According to you, I have as much right to one as the rich person who bought one for himself. I don't agree. I think I should not get one unless I contribute enough value to society in the form of paid work that I can afford to buy it. If I was given it for free, I would not make as much use of it as someone who wanted it enough to earn then pay the cost. It would sit wasted in my basement most of the time. So it's good that other people aren't sacrificing anything for that waste.

Roads aren't some kind of natural resource that all humans have a birth right to, they're made and maintained by human labor just as CNC machines are.

not really.

Jacob Blake was wanted for rape and he violated a restraining order(approaching the said rape victim). He fought the police and even choke-hold one of them. He was preparing to run away with a stolen car with the kids in it (that he did not have custody of). Their mother was the one that called the police, and the police knew who they were dealing with. If he would have been let go by the police, I assume an amber alert would have been issued.

Floyd was being arrested for passing counterfeit bills.

Brianna Taylor was shot after her boyfriend started shooting at the cops. The cops were executing a warrant for drug dealing. They didn't find anything, but that is beyond the point.

The guy that was shot at Wendy's (Rayshard Brooks -had to look him up)was so drunk that he fell asleep at the drive through, and the employees had to call the police to clear the lane. He had prior DUIs and he fought during the arrest, stole a taser and fired it at the cops.

These were the big cases of last year that I can remember right now. None of these were because of mere stops in traffic.

The 3 shouldn't have died, sure, but I am addressing your point: It was more than a benign stop for any of the big cases last year.
I am assuming there are traffic stops where innocent people died, but BLM of 2020 was not protesting for them.

BTW, my source for the above is the text of the bill itself, which the Ars Technica article links to.

It says in 2(a):

> Except as provided in subsections 3(b)(1) and (c), a State or political subdivision thereof may not provide or offer for sale to the public, a telecommunications provider, or to a commercial provider of broadband internet access service, retail or wholesale broadband internet access service.

Subsection 3(b) starts thusly:

> Any State or political 9subdivision thereof providing or offering for sale, either to the public, a telecommunications provider, or to a provider of broadband internet access service, retail or wholesale broadband internet access service, before the date of the enactment of this section

and continues in 3(b)(1) (the first exception mentioned earlier):

> notwithstanding subsection (a), may continue to provide or offer for sale such service if the Commission finds there is no more than one other commercial provider of broadband internet access that provides competition for that service in a particular area

and on 3(c) contains the second exception:

> Notwithstanding subsection (a), this section does not apply to the Tennessee Valley Authority
That’s the answer. You play casual games. OP should have written that nobody wants to play core games on a phone.
You're right. There are a lot of good complaints about the American rail system, but the fact that tropical geometry isn't being used to plan routes isn't one of them.
Really? You don't see why it is useful for people of all backgrounds to their salaries?
At least there's still a bunch trying to do the right thing by the people as a whole rather than the people currently in charge. I agree the ACCC has been a little hit and miss lately, but its one of the few good things we still have. I'm really hoping they leave medicare alone as much as possible.

Then again, somehow Newscorp got their way vs. facebook/google - only fair the ACCC does too.
> It’s one of the oldest cities with modern amenities.

That feels kinda arbitrary, what's considered a modern amenity, good Internet access? Public transport?

Having no clue what's below a city is really not that unique to NYC. If Rome can dig past it, why can't NYC?

> This isn’t meant to be a dick measuring contest, just that it’s a city that wasn’t really planned and so progress is painfully slow.

Which is, again, not unique to NYC. Urban planing as the proper academic field, we know it today, only emerged in the early 1900s.

That's not to deny that every place has its own unique challenges and issues, but that doesn't mean they are inherently unsolvable.
“ I think they’ve explicitly decided against [providing] such a feature”. Of course it exists, I don’t think they want to make it a part of the experience they provide.
Ignoring your efficacy claims, the linked article indicates that the vaccine being distributed now is likely not the same as the one that was used in clinical trials.

In particular,

> Anvisa, the Brazilian drug agency, said that every single lot of the Ad5 Gamaleya shot that they have data on appears to still have replication-competent adenovirus in it.

This is a serious issue because none of the virus vector is supposed to be competent to replicate. Something is very clearly wrong with the vaccine that's being distributed.

It's not the Americans.

Apparently it was coined by Alger Hiss, but I've seen Jason Kottke use the term "The Great Span" to describe this phenomenon of a small number of generations spanning surprisingly long periods of time.

Looking at that tag on kottke.org, the top few results are a Civil War widow dying in 2020, John Tyler (president in 1841) having a living grandson, and a 2020 interview with the son of a formerly enslaved person. Wild stuff.

You can improve on C by removing its implicit conversions. You won’t get that in the standard.
I think the big difference between is how Epic treats its customers and how Valve treats its customers. Epic could've gone the GOG Galaxy route ("use it, or not, your choice"), but they decided to force people into their watered down launcher before it was ready. Even Xbox is being more open lately.

You can't just match your competition, you have to exceed it in some special way before people will switch.

Hacker news used to be the place you’d come for the cutting edge in technology and entrepreneurship surrounded by interesting people pushing the boundaries day by day.

Nowadays it’s none of that. You no longer stumble upon the bleeding edge and most of the comment section is a wasteland of negativity (pot kettle I know).

It seems to be the natural progression of technical communities. Stackoverflow, /r/programming and now Hacker News.

I recall as a kid being told our European counterpart's curricula focused on teaching people how to "learn" -- critical thinking etc. from an early age, and remember thinking how that made sense, and wish I was taught that as a kid.

The author mentions various denials in his review, ironically, in my view, missing the pivotal case of denial that forms the conceptual warhead of the piece. Look at Fern. Why Fern? Why her, as the key nomad, rather than anyone else? The author's explanation is trite and contradicts points he highlights earlier in the piece:

>Fern, like the protagonists of many frontier stories, is called to represent nothing short of the national project itself — its triumph and, in the case of this film, its decline. These narratives have always been de-politicized, their origins in genocide rubbed clean, their most reactionary elements tucked away. We are asked to empathize with the pioneer as a universal American subject in a way we are not asked to empathize with stories about more banal forms of poverty, or homelessness, or the ongoing dispossession of Indigenous land. Frontier stories are like the public lands the film relishes — pretty, but rooted in a violence that their prettiness only obscures.

but see:

>Nomadland is the highest-profile cultural engagement with the nomad phenomenon to date

and

>Chloé Zhao, a Beijing-born director whose previous film was about a struggling Lakota rodeo star, is fond of making films from a far outsider’s perspective.

The suggestion that the film is yet-another misbegotten paean to the American Dream falls flat in light of its creator and its context. Nor does the bleak outlook of the protagonist seem emblematic of the ideology of capitalism. But alluding to the horrors of the past is a lot easier than original thinking.

Fern is a consciously chosen protagonist. Her motivation for nomadism is not an inessential part of the narrative. It is revealed in her reaction to her in-laws' trivializing and romanticizing her situation. But it is also revealed in her refusal to settle down.

If you never find a new home, it can't replace your old one. As long as Fern still lives in the van, home will always be in Empire, Nevada. That's the infrasonic melancholy resonating through every scene.

Fern, the metonymic American, is in denial that Empire is gone. End scene.
