Do not mistake an open mind for an unbiased mind. A higher dimensional being is equivalent to the cosmic hippo in a tutu, prancing across the stars. One concept sounds absurd but both concepts have in fact the same level of absurdity.

The evidence of god, or higher dimensional beings is equivalent to the amount of evidence that exists for the cosmic hippo.

Both concepts do not have zero probability of existing but are you really open minded by being agnostic and considering the possibility of the cosmic hippo existing? I just made up the cosmic hippo, like just now. Zero material evidence exist for either concept. But we lend more credit to profound descriptions of god. This is human bias at work. Higher dimensional is a complicated word that is just as absurd as hippo in a tutu.

Agnosticism is not open mindedness it is closed mindedness because the logic behind agnosticism supports consideration of the cosmic hippo as a valid argument for existence.

The key insight is that all descriptions of god are equivalent in absurdity to the cosmic hippo and therefore agnosticism is an an absurd philosophy.

We do not know what created the universe. But because virtually zero evidence exists or hints at what created the universe I can safely say any guess you come up with is completely and utterly wrong. It's like guessing a number between 1 and 9999 trillion trillion. I can safely say if any human on earth made a guess about what this number is... They'd be wrong.
Oh, I think we just disagree then. Obscure old stories that never got attention before are some of the best candidates for the second-chance pool in my view—as long as they're good, for some definition of 'good' that works for HN. It's not uncommon for good articles to get posted many times and yet not get traction. That's the nature of /newest—it's sort of a lottery, and even with multiple tickets it's easy to lose.

I agree with you that it's weird for some old file from 1994 to suddenly get traction, but I think it's good for HN to be weird. I wish it were weirder.
hardly anything special? have you seen the new press release? the prototype has an order of magnitude better resolution of brain signals.

It is special if it was stopped right now and just given to neuroscience departments at universities.
Is Firefox on the roadmap?

Would the Brave add-on work in Firefox?
I really like Z3 for showing that my weird bitwise hacks (e.g. [0]) are correct -- it's especially useful that I can show not only that a function is correct, but also that it approximates the correct answer to within whatever bounds I like. Plus, I can put it in a script, and shove it into the docs and tests easily. (Showing that the code actually corresponds to the Z3 equations needs symbolic execution, which I haven't set up yet though...)

Thanks for the insight! Didn't know strum.

But yeah, I tend to do more work at runtime than compile-time, which is not really the way to go in Rust.
My interpretation was that the mail all started in Boston, though.
Highly recommend the author of this post, or any other psychonauts, to read Cosmic Trigger by Robert Anton Wilson. He recounts a period of several years in his life where his psychonautic explorations left him believing he was in contact with an alien intelligence.

He wrestles with trying to find scientific explanations and whether that’s important or not since the experience deeply impacted him regardless of its cause.

I don’t personally dabble in hallucinogenics, but I’m always fascinated by what bubbles up from the brain given various stimuli.

Someone needs to remind Mozilla that most of their users are likely blocking telemetry.
What does that mean - Investigation of what? By whom? and on what basis/framework? Can you propose something workable?

In any case, there are many reasons a company can offer a better deal - they have invested money and developed a new product/service that the competition cannot simply copy or negotiated a better deal with a supplier, or they're simply a better managed company, or about a million other things businesses can do to gain leverage over competition.

Also, like a closely fought game - the advantage could just be temporary. These things are very fluid.
> I wonder why they wouldn't want to keep a monopoly of this tech for their own phones, and why they'd be willing to sell it to Apple.

The division that manufactures the displays wants them to be as ubiquitous as possible, since they're looking to sell as many screens as they can.
The limitation of turning it into a general tool for common locks is the shape of the keyway. There are multiple versions required because the contours keys can vary significantly. Similarly, these tools feature the ability to decode the lock so you can actually use the information to make a duplicate of a key without the key itself. A single tool wouldn't do that because the pin lengths can vary for different lock types, and sometimes the distance between pins.

However, something like a pick gun can server pretty well for a wide variety of locks, with the limitation that they lose some efficacy when a lock has security pins.
a nice history of nerve agents that doesn't really answer the question in the title.

why use a nerve agent that is easily traceable back to russia? same reason you use polonium that can be traced back to the exact reactor, to send a message. If you defect to the west then Russia will come after you.

Vaccinated but won't go out? The rise of Covid anxiety syndrome
There's pluses and minuses to both. That being said, how do I write a function in SQL which can abstract over something I do a lot (like the pivoting example earlier), or even some date function like iff(date>'important_date', 'before', 'after') as grouper.

Honestly, that's what ends up making me move away from doing analytics in SQL.
That’s fairly amazing to me considering the billions of dollars that corporate monopolies have invested in advertising and PR, compared to zero in towns that haven’t done any promotion of the idea of municipal broadband.

Valid point. I started noticing Tailwind UI everywhere, and it starts to be a bit annoying indeed. Will def work on it.

We'll see about the price. So far, it sells ok. I'd rather focus on improving the quality and adding useful features.

Regarding the icons, I've just noticed and fixed that, thank you!
> I think there are some projects floating around out there, but I personally don't see a purpose for one. It's not python or matlab

I was thinking of a REPL in the sense of common Clojure usage (https://vvvvalvalval.github.io/posts/what-makes-a-good-repl....) not the basic "write lines into a separate program and then copy-paste it into your source code" that Python offers.
> the various magic traditions developed very powerful psychological technics to achieve various things with your mind

This alone is reason enough to study/practice "magical" concepts, which can range from CBT to various forms of meditation and cue spooky sounds sorcery. Having a hammer with which you can form your own mind is, like, extremely important.

The spookier stuff you can just think of as either A) fun, existential decorations or B) embarrassing accretions to otherwise useful ways of thinking.

Or heaven forbid you fall into the C) camp where you start to believe you're in some kind of spirit war for the aeons.
I'm pretty sure the premise here is that the many gigabytes/terabytes of data reside in an RDBMS to begin with, so we aren't introducing another tool -- we're saying it makes sense to leverage multiple decades' worth of database optimizations by doing a bunch of data filtering, processing, and analysis in the database software and then exporting intermediate results to a pandas environment for final tweaks, visualization, etc.
Great argument, could be used to rebut anything:

If someone wants their mobile phone data and photos to be private, they should make a compelling mobile os they control.

If someone wants a water supply that is not polluted with toxic runoff they should start their own waterworks, lay their own pipes, and potentially buy their own lake because some pollution is unremovable.

If someone wants not to be discriminated against they should start their own country.
They did. Yahoo!’s DFS product is a dismal failure.

I also notice how traditional grocery stores have embraced some aspects of Costco/Sams warehouse stores by touting larger size bags/boxes of food. For example, at my grocery store, Barilla Spaghetti noodles are $1.28/lb in the 1lb box. But they prominently display a 2lb box for $3.12. Same with Lays Potato Chips, almost 25% more for the same weight when you compare the "Family Size" bag with the next size down.

I think the beancounters have realized we've all been so brainwashed to by huge packages that they've adjusted the pricing to compensate and take away any price savings
Designing for Buying: How to Break Through the Ceiling in Product-Led Growth
It's cause they've invested all that money in PR and advertising and not _actually running fiber to my god damn house_.
From the article he linked.

The study found no statistically significant relationship between lung cancer and exposure to passive smoke, however. Only among women who had lived with a smoker for 30 years or more was there a relationship that the researchers described as "borderline statistical significance." Over at the Velvet Glove, Iron Fist blog, however, journalist Christopher Snowden notes "there's no such thing as borderline statistical significance. It's either significant or it's not," and the reported hazard ratio was not.
Not criticizing nullc's arguments (which I agree with), but rather the acolyte trying to tell the disagreeing party off thereby actually ruining it for everyone.

While I don't doubt that Apple is looking at foldable phones, 2023 is still far enough out that a lot can change between now and then.
But this isn't really about setting tax rates, is it?

This discussion seems more about states purposely going around their existing tax rates and structures in order to create sweetheart deals for corporation.
I bet the other 60% would also consider switching after the price hikes to make up for lost revenue from the other 40%.

Comcast was my only provider for 3 years. There were times I almost considered just canceling the contract and tethering on my phone because of how bad Comcast was.
I accept this. But I myself stopped caring when the new versions of gpg stopped recognizing the public key that I had been using since 2003. I run my own mail server and a bunch of other servers of different types. So I’m not afraid of a little configuration. But I don’t have the patience to debug whatever malfunction gpg has today. If they want people to use this infrastructure, they have to do better.

I have a very small number of returns on Amazon, since my product can't be used and then returned.

Amazon isn't terrible, but it has two big problems for me. First, margins are lower because I'm not only paying them a cut of every sale, I'm also paying for Amazon advertising. Second, I don't have a relationship with the buyer, which is the real killer. I do really well with repeat sales via email, and those are where the real margin is since I'm not paying to acquire those users again. On my site, I can afford to break even (or even lose a little money) on the first sale, where I must make money on each sale on Amazon.

I will say the one big difference between my product and many on Amazon is that it's not something that you seek out - very few people are searching for "dog treat mix" on Amazon (or Google/Bing/etc.). Amazon does have some types of advertising that work well for targeting other luxury dog goods, but my volume is going to be limited there. Facebook advertising works better for me, because I can target people by demographics and explain the product in an ad.

To that point, it may be important to be on Amazon if you're in a commodity business. On the other hand, it sucks to be in a commodity business for so many other reasons that I hardly think it's reasonable to pin the blame on Amazon for the difficulties there.

The one thing I will say about Amazon vs. Shopify that surprised me is that Amazon's support tends to be quite competent (at least if you call them - you get nothing but canned responses via email), while Shopify's is just terrible. They can help with basic issues using the software, but when it comes to real problems, like bugs in reporting (or more recently in my case, a bug where they undercharged a customer), they just say they'll get back to you and never do unless you are incredibly aggressive about hounding them.

Amazon has structured their reviews to enable unethical behavior by sellers.

Any review which comments on the seller or seller's behavior is removed because the product page is supposed to be a page of seller-agnostic reviews of the product. There is a separate page of reviews for each seller, but it is buried to the point that no-one looks at it.

It makes it leaving reviews about sellers doing unethical things like paying for reviews fruitless: either you put it on the product and it is removed quickly, or you put it on the seller and no one sees it.
Lucky you that you don't rely on mail for more important things, and can't even imagine doing so.

Neat trick with the named pipe and the script command. Note that visual editors (and anything else like ls that are aware of the terminal size) will not work well unless all terminal windows are the exact same size. And type, obviously.
Ah yes those 1 million plus cars on the road must also be fake. Those self landing rockets? Clearly CGI.
In many browsers (e.g. Safari), the scrollbar is hidden when not scrolling, while the reading progress bars I know remain visible permanently. Furthermore, the scrollbar describes the whole vertical length of the website, not necessarily that of the specific content you are reading. I do personally observe a trend of the ratio content length vs. full page length increasing (e.g. increasing use of white space in web design).

This is not commenting in favor or against reading progress bars. But if one concludes that reading progress bars are a good idea, I welcome the widespread adoption. The spread would mean that more users become familiar with the design pattern and its meaning.
Considering the large number of German engineers in the space program, via Werner von Braun and his team, are we sure that the use of "glitch" in the space program wasn't of German rather than specifically Yiddish origin? The original meaning would be the same.

Different country (Switzerland), have been using municipality broadband since we moved to this place. I'm happy with the service part - techs are knowledgeable, support is fast. Less happy with the price and speed - it's more expensive (about double) than places that have competition (e.g. Zurich, which is nearby) and while Zurich had 1Gb+ for years, ours was only enabled last year.
They do fulfill what they promise - I pay for 600Mbit and that's what I get. No "up to" nonsense.
Correct, lishi picks are great for single pin picking, and I suspect it might allow dealing with security pins much easier than a pick gun. Such guns are somewhat similar to raking techniques, which are not great with security pins.
> The problem with lock-picking is that it doesn’t leave signs of a break-in.

Sorta. Lock picking will leave marks/wear that no key would. So I recommend everyone try to pick their own lock today to make it look like someone picked it for up-to-no-good reasons.
It's interesting states or cities are allowed to give deferential tax treatment for specific companies. I thought that would be considered discrimination if you consider corporations as people.
But the browser itself is plenty fast. Just open a huge static HTML file, or some well-optimized JS one like some simulation.

Awesome, thanks for the info/correction. I remember many attempts in my childhood for family members to raise a tree from a pit and they never got very far.
I also switched from R to Python/pandas. I remember always being frustrated with pandas since it tries to emulate data.frame, but then just does its own thing without being consistent.
A rebate is literally a payment (as opposed to a discount, which is not.)

In this case though, I believe Apple is actually getting cash payments from their JDIG grant given how JDIG is officially described (neither rebate nor discount but literal kickbacks to apple from their employee taxes). [0]

While those payments are conditional on Apple fulfulling their end by investing, they are just as much a real payment as any bonus based on performance.
