> When people think flying cars, they don't think of something without wheels that can only land in certain spots that requires years of training to operate that is significantly expensive to be outside of the reach of 99%.

You write down two points:

1. regulation

2. cost

"Regulation" is not an engineering problem, but a hard and deeply political one.

For "cost": When a lot of regulation comes down, the possible market size increases by a lot and it begins to make economic sense to invest lots of engineering ressources into cutting costs down by a lot (I do believe this is possible). Then helicopters will even perhaps transform into something that is much more akin to flying cars.
Ask yourself if you or other people would be more comfortable identifying as feminists publicly now as opposed to 5/10 years ago; that'll give you answer 1.

As for answer 2, I've shown what basic searches can come up with. "why im not a feminst" might give you what you're looking for.
They could just turn it into questions ("Are you...?")
To be fair (assuming it's a common law country), the GP probably already owns it through adverse possession if they have been using it openly for 50 years or more.

Somebody else stated it already better than I could: We do have a number of biomarkers for depression, the problem is they only correlate with the disease, so asking you how you feel in a structured way is still more indicative.
Let's not focus on either/or. I feel that that causes division, and we waste valuable time.

At this point of the crisis we need as much help as possible.

We need to do both.

I've been biking and using public transport for long distances for the last two years... Though I did rent a car for a week half a year ago.

I've almost entirely stopped eating beef, but I still have room for improvement when it comes to chicken, fish, and pork.

I've been sorting my waste, and recycling plastic bottles, cardboard, and glass; though I admittedly should learn to compost.

The thing that has been the hardest for me is to stop consuming plastic altogether. That's almost impossible in grocery stores.

I think that grocery stores and restaurants should try to shift their supply chains to allow to refill standardized (glass?) containers, but I don't think this will happen unless there is some sort of regulation to pressure them into changing.

What are your thoughts on this?
That's my guess too. They were probably using ranqd1, then someone turned on a new warning, then someone else had to figure out what to do with the warning without really understanding the change they were making.

It'd be interesting to see if the same randomizer is used in other SMB games after NSMB and any ports.
That was my thought as well. Why bother with finding a fix point of your PRNG (and messing up its properties in the process) when one could use something like #ifdef ... return 4; instead.
> Until 1995, US banks couldn't operate in more than one state.

I can't think of a worse example of regulation. People obviously want to be able to access their money when they travel 30 minutes away. Your example undermines your point.

> You don't think their partners bought at least a bit of Bitcoin then as well?

I have no way of knowing but I'd wager probably not; VCs invest in highly-speculative moonshot ideas all the time. Back then, crypto was mostly naïve zealotry. And these days, it's mostly greed. It seems people forgot BitTorrent circa 1999-2003 -- it's history literally repeating itself.
You conveniently left out the part where they discussed it and she said that it didn't need to be 'natural'.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a 'natural' diamond. But to mislead your partner as part of some sick test, and then make them feel like dirt for not having passed?
You make it sound like his change to the border is going to stick. They told him to put the stone back where it was. If he refuses, he probably won't get away scot-free.

Does that path exist? I am not entirely convinced that you can have our current population living with our current standards -- especially if the standards spread from say that USA to the poorest nations, sustainably.
What do you mean by "I don't believe in overpopulation?"

Overpopulation is definitely a real thing in ecological systems, so I assume you mean either:

1) We are not currently in an overpopulated state.

2) We are extremely unlikely to reach an overpopulated state in the nearish future.

One important thing to note is that overpopulation is not a fixed threshold, but one that is dependant on a number of ecological, environmental and technological factors that makes it extremely hard to completely accept 2).

Mike I just wanted to say I really enjoyed using D3 and I was also very impressed when reading the source code. It’s an excellent model for good programming in JavaScript that served as a great example for a younger me.

Thank you to you and your team for D3 and for this library. I’m sure I’ll get lots of use (and freelance gigs) out of it.

Has been a pleasure working with your work.
I wonder if this tactics could be used to increase click rate. Sound like a good idea to grab someones attention and maybe reduce spending by targeting niches.
>> I feel a common issue with such "dead bedroom" discussions is the seeming lack of capacity of some parties (including some prominent toplevel comments here) to understand how deep a need for sex many people have.

When I first saw Maslow's hierarchy of needs sex appeared on it TWICE. Once on the bottom level as a basic physical need (to what extent varies of course) and again I think on the 3rd level or so as a form of intimacy.

Putting it on that pyramid has somehow fallen out of favor. One (fem) writer claimed it somehow justified rape. That's as absurd as saying the need for food justifies armed robbery. I suspect the real issue is that it offered an explanation (not a justification) that differs from the authors pre-conceived notions (men are evil blah blah). Anyway it seems to have become unpopular to claim it's a basic need.

I suspect the issue here is that the public health lever-pulling expert class has decided on an authoritarian strategy and maskless children would disrupt the facade of absolute conformity.

You see people outright admitting this when they vaccinate and are afraid to unmask even though science would suggest otherwise - they want to get rid of the perception of individual autonomy.

But on the topic of children masking: it's clear that the panic-ridden doomsday people have continuously downplayed or flat-out not recognized the non-linear detrimental effects of disrupting normal education and socialization of children.
The proposed action here is to not separate "gifted" kids until grade 9. That seems pretty reasonable to me.

I don't think this is about true prodigies (don't they usually get picked up by universities?).

If you can separate students into winners and losers before grade 9, I think that's a strong indication that more resources need to be spent on the losers, not that we should be teaching the winners calculus before they reach HS (which I suspect is often more about the college admissions arms race than any love of learning or desire for knowledge)
The issue is that the slogan "patriarchy hurts men" is nearly always used in a way that still puts the onus on men to stop policing gender norms on other men. The reality is that women have every bit as much agency and power in upholding patriarchy that men do, but few women (feminist or not) are willing to acknowledge the extent they enforce toxic gender norms, or even that women enforce toxic gender norms at all.
I'm arguing that a 10x increase in property taxes (or whatever 100k/year works out to) would already be enough to trigger the current owner to sell.

Once the property is sold, a developer will find that their profit from constructing a building is roughly proportional to the floor area regardless of whether there is a 1% property tax or not. This is because the profit they earn per-sqft is more than the resulting net present value of future property taxes on it. Therefore they maximize the density as allowed under zoning and we end up with an efficient use of the land.

(Of course dumb zoning laws messes everything up, but that's a whole separate topic...)

Well, I meant from the point of view of the act of programming.

It is understood that programming languages have other strengths and weaknesses. For example, JavaScript will be more suitable to programming in browser app than Python, even though Python is better general purpose language.

Those strengths and weaknesses frequently come down to some pretty arbitrary choices the author made and have nothing to do with the language.

I can imagine situation where JavaScript never happened and instead we would be programming browsers in Python.

You are right, I am in country where there are enforceable laws and regulations. Maybe some developing countries can skip some of the legal and regulatory infrastructure and use software to solve those problems, similarly to how those countries skipped the wired telephone infrastructure and went directly to cell phones.
> They're just jealous you can travel and play video games whenever you want. =)

To infantilize people like this is more hurtful really. We both know your allotted time with a Nintendo isn't a source of envy. It's a problem, it needs addressing. If you've successfully overridden one of your most primal biological instincts then good for you, you don't need to read all this. However, I suspect most people who say they are just as happy single are not entirely truthful (to themselves).
One of several examples mentioned in the proposal:

> Burris, Heubert & Levin (2006) followed students through middle schools in the district of New York. In the first three years, the students were in regular or advanced classes, in the following three years all students took the same mathematics classes comprised of advanced content. In their longitudinal study the researchers found that when all students learned together the students achieved more, took more advanced courses in high school, and passed state exams a year earlier, with achievement advantages across the achievement range, including the highest achievers (Burris, Heubert & Levin, 2006).

Nothing wrong with that, but that means it's voluntary. And the latter part means that it isn't even celibate.

Here's hoping the swirly/crazy bokeh phase is soon over.
We’re not talking about bootstrapping for a year, op said selling to Facebook in a year. To pull that off means awesome traction or clubhouse level hype or deep serial founder connections, or corruption at high levels.

All of these are much more difficult to pull off, often requiring years, than simply hitting the books for a few months
I'm not convinced it's the same. When talking about dating, there are a bunch of stuff that you can do that boils down to "make yourself a better person." See: my list above. It's obviously not guaranteed, and many are more genetically gifted than others, but it seems way more manageable of a task than your example.

You can't expect women to work on having more of a penis.
If Paul Graham had donated $2.5 million dollars to Noora and written a brief article about it, he probably could have convinced some percentage of his readers to also donate to Noora

As is, there's a chance that someone will bid more than $2.5 million for this NFT, but the delta between Paul's bid and the winning bid will have to be greater than the sum of other non-winner take all donations for this to be a more effective way to raise money

On the other hand, if this wasn't an NFT, Paul probably wouldn't have put up $2.5 million and written an article about it at all, so I guess Noora's already better at this than I am

It used to be as low as $0.10/hour on AWS for spot rates and of course GCP might not give it out at that rate but it certainly suggests there is some room here. 100 hours of gaming a month is a sizable amount of playtime (if you aren't a hardcore gamer, which arguably a cloud -> streaming gaming option is not going to appeal to anyway)

I think it is entirely the opposite. It is all about regulatory capture. You put in place firm regulations that only the largest multinationals can comply with, and in most cases have written themselves to set the bar high and exclude competition
Claiming that "LGBTQ" is a claim of gender identity is a stretch.

And, wait, does that rule apply to marketing manly products for men? If they're using "gender identity" as a euphemism for "non-cis gender identity" that's kind of awful. It reminds me of the people that say they don't have pronouns.

> Essentially, what we have right now in the sexual marketplace echoes what we have in the economy... a lot of the sex is being had by a small fraction of the people.

(Emphasis mine)

Possibly. DNA analysis shows that for every 17 human females that reproduced, one male reproduced. Meaning that quite high rates of polygamy, rape, or other unbalancing factors were the norm in human history.

This is just redefining what counts as "real intelligence" to raise the bar.

Once we have computers that can think like humans, there'll be people saying 'oh, it's not real "understanding", it's just generating speech that matches things it's heard in the past with some added style', not realizing that the same also applies to human writers.

It is better than that. If it is truly valuable we'll already have someone else doing it just because of the risk of it failing its saving throw.
I mean, if you apply this same reasoning, then "eating this big mac is extremely necessary unless you have one of these weird genes that makes you not crave these type of foods" becomes also a valid argument. It's not about what humans feel they need, it's about what they can live without without tearing their lives apart.

At that time the company was being run by an executive whose backround was as a flavored soda salesman who tried to adopt Microsoft’s strategy of licensing the OS. That’s why they nearly went out of business.

When they returned to the integrated model and stopped trying to compete head to head, their success returned.

I'm not sure that most people would see taking a copy of their phone contacts as a serious invasion of privacy. Maybe your mind (and the mind of many HN readers) quickly skips to the various social engineering and metadata attacks that such a dataset could enable, but the average guy on the street is more likely to think "what are you going to do, call my hairdresser?"
At least with that one whatsapp's original idea switched from statuses to messaging because they saw the users using their ability to set statuses to message each other. That paired with awful SMS in most of the world let them dominate.

Ask HN: Take a non-FAANG job or grind further
I was offered an L6 position at a non-FAANG company (public) in the Bay area that pays close to L5 level at a FAANG - 255K TC.

Should I take the job or continue grinding leetcode to try to get into FAANG? Biggest reservation I have with taking the job, is that any new position has a learning curve, and before I establish myself I won't be able to interview for another year or so.

I'm able to land senior roles at non-FAAANG companies as I am good at behavioral and systems design interviews (due to 9+y of experience) but not great at coding based algorithm questions, though I am getting better.

Champagne problems I know, but it is a pretty important decision to make.

Space has some unique challenges for both hiding and finding those who don't want to be found. For one you dont have a radar horizon. And combine that with microgravity means you can have arbitrarily large and powerful radar stations in space which can see for arbitrarily long distances.

Arecibo was until it sadly collapsed last year, not just a large radio telescope but the largest radar disk in the world. Larger radio telescopes lacked that feature. In space you could exceed it without the obvious scaling issues of such a large structure and its weight.

You also have heat as a problem. That space is cold is a bit or a misnomer. The problem with space is that its a near perfect vacuum so things tend to stay the same temp unless they are in direct sunlight. And if they are its hard to dump that heat.

With appropriate thermal imaging it would be pretty easy to tell a spacecraft apart from rocks because it will be making its own heat. Since radiation is the only reliable form of losing that heat you need large radiators on your craft like the ISS has. But those run contrary to good stealth design practices.

There is also the matter of orbits and how natural objects simply aren't going to have certain ones so no matter how innocuous you may look, if you are taking a path only a spacecraft would take nobody is going to be fooled.

The spell is called herd mentality. People don't like to be losers, so women wear shiny stones and men drive cool cars. Both want to send the message "I'm not a loser". Appeal to science has no bearing on the herd opinion. Your gf was basically terrified that her friends would laugh at her lab grown diamond and her weak scientific arguments won't raise her ingroup status. Edit: I'd add a snarky observation that a diamond is essentially a notarized letter of "love" where the shop gets paid as the notary and your gf gets the proof of your deposit. The stone itself isn't worth much.
