Providing childcare and healthcare like many other countries do could certainly help.
To anyone interested in obtaining the other two posters in the series (UNIX Views & UNIX Feuds) here is some information from Marshall Overacre, son of the author:

> "This poster is extremely rare. My father illustrated this series. He was not happy with the quality of the posters and inadvertently made them rare by throwing them all away. He still has the other two-a small handful that he is willing to sell." [0]

> "This is my father’s artwork. Believe he still has some to sell. I can’t recall which of the pictures he was not happy with the posters and threw almost all of them away. One of them is very rare." [1]

> "This is my father’s artwork. Believe he still has some of these for sale. He will sign if you’d like." [2]

Jarring worldview to hold.

Buying rings isn't the problem- you stated "the value of a ring is how much a man is willing to pay for access to sex".

Without a further breakdown of why you think that's a reasonable statement to make it just sounds weirdly myopic.

People pay more because of status "I am a good provider and I can prove it", or because the woman wants to feel valued.

It doesn't go back to sex, not for a long time, in fact sex is very far removed from the idea of modern day marriage in the majority of western countries.
> Honest question: Why marry in the first place?

For women, it's a free pension plan and a way to hedge against her rapidly declining looks.

If you're a man in 2021, then you should not get married. There is almost nothing but disadvantages for men.

(For young men: a marriage contract is not romantic - it's not like the movies. It's a business contract that is enforced by the state in the US. Make sure you understand the impact of signing a contract when the other party benefits from breaking it.)
Buy 20 then. I wonder if there's a way to tastefully put them all on a single ring.
As somebody who has intentionally not published low quality work, it amuses me to see people finally recognizing that a lot of the most regarded papers just don't have any real impact in the real world of life sciences/health research/medicine. What doesn't amuse me is the career success these folks have had by selling overfit, undergeneralizing models.
even though many of the younger folks watching might not know who Barry White is.

Many of the younger folks watching when the episode first aired in 1993 probably didn't know who Barry White was, either. His hits were from 20 years prior. Even if you didn't know who he was though, he works in the episode because his distinctive voice is written into the story & used as a plot point. He doesn't just make a cameo appearance that any random celebrity could have made.

Keep in mind, this is a show that made Rory Calhoun references in 1995!
They do pay taxes. This is a totally false statement.

What is hilarious is that Amazon is a terrible example as they put nearly all their profits into the business. So there is no real lost tax revenue here.

If you want to change the topic then talk about how you want to move to a gross revenue tax system, and not net. But, that fundamentally changes how we incentivize investment.

If you want to change the global tax system do that, as I agree. But don't yell at companies doing what everyone else is doing in the system. It isn't effective IMO.
OK, so add the cost of building a lunar factory and the breakeven gets worse, not better.

(Most of the 1970s proposals are basically pleas for funding with cool Syd Mead concept art attached, they were never mathematically feasible even in their own era without some other breakthroughs)
This is a good idea, But getting the biomass will be difficult. I dream about large lakes of algae that can be skimmed and then sundried, and cooked in solar ovens to create essentially a solar powered only capture process.

This sort of operation would need a stable cap and trade or carbon tax system to be profitable.

I should also add, I think China or somewhere in the hot parts of Africa would be a a good place for this as it would be a large area operation. Sadly as an Australian we suffer from regulatory capture and a carbon tax won't be back on the cards for some time.
The relationship with government is very different from the western model in many countries. People just live and die without much interference from government, in some rural places people don't even know their age. It's hard to imagine for people living in industrialized and urbanized places, but many people still live that way worldwide.

It's got to be a conversation between you and your spouse - my (now wife) said she definitely wanted a diamond. I ended up proposing with my great grandmothers ring, that has a small diamond. She loved it. Some people will want to go select a ring together at diamonds direct. Some won't even care about a ring.

As far as friends and family goes, they can get over it. I actually have a lot of fun telling people about the current scam that are diamonds, if they make any sideways remarks about my wife and my preferences. There really is no defending the diamond industry, so if they are pushy or too nosy, it's an easy argument to 'win'.
> The most common use case for default dict is counting the number of occurrences of some string

I don't see how you can declare what the most common use of a standard function is, so, uh, citation needed.

> But what if you want to use it to count the order in which we see keys

Don't bother. Since python 3.7 (really 3.6) you can just look at the key order after adding your strings to a normal dict comprehension because dicts are ordered now.

{s: 0 for s in strings}.keys() will give you the order. If you really want a number associated with each, you can wrap that in enumerate.
With random database keys I would think they can just be generated at random by any frontend server running anywhere. Ultimately, a request to insert that key would come to the database - which is the centralized gatekeeper in this design and can accept or reject it. But with replication, sharding, caching even SQL databases scale extremely well. Just avoid expensive operations like joins.
I agree. The importance of separating presentation concerns from business logic was in the air, impossible to avoid, when I became a software engineer in the early 2000s.

> At that point [in 2016], the idea of fundamentally decoupling the front-end web layer from the back-end business logic layer was only an early trend, and not yet a named architectural approach.

The first named architectural approach I ever learned was three-tier application architecture (presentation, business logic, database,) named to contrast it to the two-tier approach of combining the presentation logic and the business logic in a single layer (often a desktop application that communicated directly with a database.) The problems arising from this mixing and the advantages of separating UI and business logic into different architectural tiers were well known to people writing internal business applications long before web applications took over this niche. I don't know the history prior to my own introduction to the industry, but I wouldn't be surprised if it dated back to the mid-1990s or even earlier.
Sometimes there is no interest or people just don't show up. I tried to organize a neighborhood virtual game night a half year ago in my neighborhood, and there wasn't any interest.

It made me feel more alone, and embarrassed for evening trying.
Great move, and so sorry about your kids. Lost a daughter myself in similar circumstances.

Not too sure about it being just illegal immigrants. Many of the people who migrate across states are also "invisible" and do not possess identification. This situation is improving, but arguably not by much.
Global climate is more than just average temperature. Or even "prevent ice caps from melting". It's an insanely complex system that we have only started to understand. There are currents in the oceans and the air, they have complex interdependencies, even with vegetation.

If you change this, you may end up screwing up the climate even more.
Right, I meant ".. in most Linux distributions".

The kernel is Linux and the most important userland parts are from GNU.
Therefore they are really GNU/Linux distributions.

The GNU project has more to offer than coreutils, like Hurd.
It is fairly easy to implement N bit arithmetics in 16-bit lisp. Especially if the system provides a Carry-flag, which it seldom does unfortunately.

For some stupid reason I had strange ( 10000 . 10000 ) arithmetics, where the big number X was (cons (/ X 10000) (mod X 10000)) and primitives like */10000 helped to use it (multiply and divide with 10000).

Ok. The stupid reason was it was aesthetically pleasing. For example the big number 12346789 was (1234 . 6789).
If a machine were invented that scrubbed carbon from the atmosphere and turned it into useful food, construction materials, animal feedstocks, and fibers, all while rebuilding topsoil, it would be on the cover of every tech magazine in the world and its inventor would be a celebrity millionaire. Yet I’ve never seen a tree on the cover of Wired.

Sometimes we overlook the simplest approaches. We should plant trees. Lots of them. It's not a perfect solution, but it's the simplest, can be adapted to every environment, has costs that are relative to local economies, doesn't depend upon global supply chains, doesn't require human maintenance after initial planting, etc.

> Mosquito females cannot submit genetic samples of potential mates to a sequencing laboratory. They cannot determine which of two males has a "bigger genetic mix".

Of course they can, you don't need to sequence DNA to get an idea of genetic affinity, you have the phenotype.

I don't know about mosquitoes, but all higher animals obviously judge mates on genetics (based on the phenotype).
How is this the first? Didn’t a Google do this in 2017? https://offgridsurvival.com/google-releases-20-million-genet...
Yes, in short: they are treated like children but demanded to behave like an adult. For me the answer is giving them as much self-responsibility and independence as they can manage. Treat them like a child and they will behave like a child.

> I don't mind my kid playing a Switch, but I don't plan on letting her have a social media account.

The problem is eventually she'll be left out if she's the only one of her peers without social media.
> I always thought of reference frames as like the sampling rate, so in that sense, is it how few reference frames can it get away with, without being noticeable?

Actually not quite - "reference frames" means how far back (or forward!) the encoded frame can reference other frames. In plain words, "max reference frames 3" means that frame 5 in a stream can say "here goes block 3 of frame 2" but isn't allowed to say "here goes block 3 of frame 1" because that's out of range.

This has obvious consequences for decoders: they need to have enough memory to keep "reference frames" decoded uncompressed frames around in a chance that a future frame will reference them. It also has consequences for encoders: while they don't have to reference frames far back, it'll increase efficienty if they can reuse the same stored block of image data across as much frames as possible. This of course means that they need to scan more frames for each processed input frames to try to find as much reusable data as possible.

You can easily get away with "1" reference frame (MPEG-2 has this limit for example), but it'll encode same data multiple times, lowering overall efficiency and leaving less space to store detail.

> Would that also depend on the content?

It does depend on the content - in my testing it works best for animated content because the visuals are static for a long time so referencing data from half a second ago makes a lot of sense. It doesn't add a lot for content where there's a lot of scenecuts and actions like a Michael Bay movie combat scene.
Do an experiment - ask your partner if she wouldn't marry you if you don't give her precious stone. If she won't, I can't see how such a relationship is based on love, rather than various calculations. The idea that money express love is plain stupid from any point of view I can imagine.

One big warning sign right there.

FYI I didn't give my wife any diamond, in fact when I proposed to her on top of Mont Blanc after grueling dangerous skitour I didn't even have a ring since she never wore any before, so I couldn't get correct size.

It didn't matter a bit and still doesn't - everybody we talked about considers my proposal way cooler than usual big money being thrown around. I bought her a ring of her choice afterwards (cheap stuff), and no surprise - she lost it / got stolen when working at tomography lab few months afterwards. Not a problem, imagine losing a ring worth 40k (upon sale, resale maybe 50% of it if lucky).
Nuzzel email service is winding down and the future of Scroll is uncertain
I agree.

Any time I see a study on use of this technology, particularly mobile, that differs from studies on gambling machine addiction, the cynic in me takes over.

Admittedly, gambling money is different than gambling social status, but I'm not quite sure how.
The one I use is basically trying to prove their religious text is correct even though science says that animals mentioned in the religious book were not native to that area.

Prevention is the key.
6 million Veterans are just the subgroup from one of the studies I did. In reality, the VA system serves 15-20 million patients, given there are 17.4 million Vets, some who use private health care, and some whose families also use VA.

The reason there are 1400 analysts: research studies each require one or two analysts. At this very moment, there are thousands of research studies taking place in the US medical system. Without these number of analysts, you'd have to completely revamp the system, killing all current projects, all current code, and creating a HUGE HUGE headache for everyone, not to mention laying off 1000+ through a system which it is NOT easy to layoff individuals through.

As a matter of fact, they want to transition to a new data infrastructure at the VA, but it's been delayed many times and the logistics have been very vague.
These arguments are always hogwash, crying about the economy while not providing any labor regulation or economic support to people who have children (paid time off, subsidized child care, etc). They should be ignored.

The lower the total fertility rate, the better for planetary resource consumption and contention issues.

TL;DR our economic system has assumptions of continued population growth baked in all over the place.
Wow, you might want to talk with your partner about buying a ~40k ring. That seems like it could be a big sticking point in a marriage, especially considering it could pay for an entire university degree.
There are other mosquito population controls already in place though. Compared to dumping poison from planes I think this more targeted approach is an improvement.

This was a duplicate of another thread posted one hour earlier: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27034951

The comment I posted on lobste.rs:

I’ve been curious about this computer for some years, and bid on one some time ago, but at more than 600 € that was more than I was going to pay for it.

As far as I know, the machine is internally the same as the PB-2000C which I do have, just with different key labels and a different ROM. There is an emulator for Windows here: https://pockemul.com/

There is even a Prolog ROM, but again for me it’s not worth the going prices: https://www.casio880.com/categoria_productos/casio/ai-1000/

I wanted to build myself a modern version of this based on the Planet Computers Gemini (https://www.www3.planetcom.co.uk/gemini-pda) which in theory can run Linux, but I’ve had so much trouble with it (running Linux) that I had to postpone it until I can find some time again.

Edit: the video description includes several interesting links including Pocket Emul.

One aspect I rarely see mentioned is that it undermines capitalism. The idea of capitalism is that wealth allocation is 'fair', because people get rewarded for doing things that benefit others. Put simply, you work hard, you save, you invest, you provide goods and services that others want.

When instead, speculation in cryptocurrencies becomes the road to riches (or creating a startup that never ends up profitable for that matter) that are mostly unattainable by other means, you have a problem. If you work hard, you save, you invest, you provide goods and services that others want, but are still priced out of, say, owning a house by people that provided no value, it creates a dangerous situation.
By this logic there are no good analogies because there will always be someone that will refuse to look at the situation differently for whatever reason.
Exploring Temporality in Databases
It clicked for me only after getting significantly far in SICP back in the day, doing all the excersizes and creating things inspired by the book. Before that I just thought lispys were just some weird emacs thing. While this is a long time ago for me, I think it still will work for you to feel that 'click'.

It's neat that it shows the Bose devices' battery level.

AFAIK the Apple APIs don't display that on macOS because it doesn't fully implement the Bluetooth spec (it does on iOS).

One of my apps gathers battery info for all almost Apple devices (and some non-Apple), but I had trouble getting battery info for Bose, Logitech, Sennheiser (etc..) bluetooth devices without very low-level hacks that I wouldn't ship in an app destined for casual users.
So much of this seems to stem from poor practices handling such sensitive data, especially plaintext records that aren’t anonymized. It’s astonishing!

I think it underscores the value of stringent security requirements like HIPAA. I wouldn’t touch medical records code with a ten foot pole, but I’m glad there are safeguards in place to minimize carelessness with my medical history…this article illustrates the catastrophic potential of a lax security posture :/
You're right. I thought stadia did something special, but I guess not. So yes, Stadia.
