I’m terribly sorry to hear this and hope that your daughters are doing well.

One thing that I’ve noticed with my nephews (my son is not quite old enough) is that smartphones seem to amplify certain behaviors, good and bad.

I was bullied pretty badly in school until I turned into a big gorilla. But then life was segmented. Little league friends knew little or nothing about what was happening in school. Things were “said” not written.

Now everything is connected. It’s great as during COVID groups of friends were able to organize Minecraft groups and keep connected. But.. I’ve noticed some of the older kids feel very anxious about what people say — as the online stuff in in writing and screenshots, etc can pretty easily be shared. Many parents don’t understand “online” life and take extreme stances.
There's no need to flatter blatant sexism with the dignity of honest argument. Indeed, there is nothing to be gained by doing so.
Industrial CO2 is produced by burning natural gas as a byproduct to produce ammonia. DAC is way too expensive.
I'm really sorry to hear about your kids' struggles. Middle school seems especially intense these days. One of our kids has had a really rough time at middle school for similar reasons. We ended up pulling her out and homeschooling.

Even the private schools are validated her as "not willing to learn". What a mess.
You aren't going to win any argument with just a opinion very few people are going to share.
Wow, blast from the past. I learned so much poking around on my mac with Macsbug and later, TMon. I think that most of the time I was just looking through games for where they stored things like experience points.
The people in these stories don’t buy diamond for their mechanical properties or bore tunnels, so everything surrounding the diamond itself is what matters.

How it was mined, where it came from, which company sells it and how all of that is marketed to the world (not even really to the owner) is the value of all of this.

It’s like sending a unicef postcard, what matters the most would be the effect on the receiver and how the sender feels about it. The object itself isn’t on the front stage.
Anytime there is an economic conflict with certain countries the US will perform "carrier fleet exercises" in their seas.

We (USA) are totally the child of Britain. And we will probably be slowly phased out of relevance in a similar way.
Burmese python and Kudzu, what could go wrong. We don't exactly have a good track record on this kind of thing.
A good example is superhuman the email client. They cache data in the browsers local web sql database.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_SQL_Database

Then all searches etc are fast, due to not having to go to the server.

I'm not sure how they implement that, but I would probably go with a websocket that sends the latest data to the client which then stores it in Indexed DB (the browsers local database).

I don't know of any solution that does this out of the box.
That sounds like a really fun project. What board were you using? And you didn’t by chance write about this somewhere - did you?
Yeah, I'm not understanding a lot of the sentiment here. I suppose if you're a fresh grad, or not making a ton of money. However if an engagement ring's cost is some barrier to getting married... perhaps you're too young to get married?

Life is expensive, and between cars, house, the actual wedding, kids, etc. The money I spent on my wives engagement ring seems like child's play.

Also I feel like most women want it, because it's what everyone asks of them. 100% it's societal pressure. If you tell someone you got engaged, question #1 will be "Ohh let me see the ring!"
Probably best to remove "If you think you are any kind of forward thinking person" from your discussion starter if soft insults are going to be a problem.

But back to the actual topic, what about the point they raise: What if both people want to do it?
Sounds like fun. How does one get into this kind of gig?
>Maybe whenever I meet someone new I'll ask on the first date, would you rather have 10k saved in an emergency fund or a shinny conflict rock ? Her response will tell me everything I need to know.

I don't know about asking that on the very first date, but it is very reasonable (essential even) to make sure your priorities and your partner's priorities match up.

I don't think the suggestion is that they'd sell counterfeits. The suggestion is that even the real thing has no special differentiating properties. The authenticity certificate is just a tool to achieve better signaling, nobody cares what it says as long as it says "authentic".
Emacs is the bastard child between unix and lisp machines.
There's this thing that some people on HN do where they say "if it's not illegal it's totally fine and you can do it as much as you like". Clearly that's bollocks, isn't it? We don't want an over-bearing state that litigates all of our activity, so we limit the power of the state. This means there's a bunch of stuff that's not illegal, but people chose not to do that stuff because they're not horrible cunts.

Amazon doesn't pay employee taxes. Those taxes are paid, as the name suggests, by the employees.

People talk about "tax evasion" when they want to say a company or person is unlawfully not paying enough tax. People talk about "tax avoidance" when describing an activity that is supposedly lawful - Amazon thinks they're following the law, and they want to follow the law. People use "tax planning" when the law is being used in the normal expected way to reduce a tax burden.

Law is what's written in acts and statutes, but in many places it's also arrived at through case law.

A company can say "we're using this scheme, and we think it's legal", and a tax authority can say "we don't think it is", and we don't know who's right until it gets in front of the courts.

Since many tax authorities try a "right touch" regulatory approach that involves a lot of discussion and negotiation, and tries to avoid prosecution unless it's a clear cut case, we never get these schemes tested in court.

We just don't know if what Amazon is doing is fully legal (it probably is for most stuff), and we're unlikely to find out. Here's a case of Vodafone having £7 billion tax debt waived after negotiation. https://www.theguardian.com/money/2011/dec/06/hmrc-tax-deal-...

This shouldn't affect Amazon's behaviours though: they benefit from criminal justice, education, healthcare, transport infrastructure, and all of these things are provided by tax.

Amazon should stop being cunts and should start paying tax.
How do they not open themselves up for a lawsuit for that kind of pay discrepancy?
While I personally don’t think natural diamonds are any more valuable than synthetic. I understand the scarcity and way it’s used to show status (similar to cars, we don’t need great ones).

That being said, what I actually took away from that comment... was that the teacher in geology class was presenting effectively political argument as opposed to teaching. Explaining the process of fine, but given what you described — I bet no one changed their mind about synthetic vs real. Most knew what the “correct” answer was. I think everyone kinda knows about synthetic diamonds, they just don’t care. Same way plastic bottles are better for the environment, yet are still used widely.
I used one of these for programming for a couple years.

I had no idea they made an LCD screen.

One memory I have of this is hauling one of these plus a massive sun CRT monitor on a hand truck on the NYC subway.
>> But then again, aren’t we all doing the same, regurgitating bits and pieces that we heard or read before and liked?

We can do that. We can also not do that. Language models can only do that.

My comment is stripped of nuance (language models don't do that exactly) but it should point at the difference: humans can be as dumb as bricks, or as smart as humans. Language models don't even come close to our brighter moments. They don't even come close to the brighter moments of our pets, and our pets can't generate human language.

You have kids? Think of whom you'd like to spend the next decade or two around: a five year old human or GPT-3? Which one would you find more interesting, original, curious, do you think?

I think people who are the most excited about GPT-3 are the ones who are used to even dumber, more boring interactions with computers than the repetitive and unoriginal text generation of language models. Or perhaps it's humans who are used to boring interactions with other humans. Technology has done some weird things to us of late I fear.
I don't know of any technology where you get both the desired effect as well as an in-built mechanism for cloning the machine using locally sourced materials, often without human intervention.
Blockchain Lending Cos. Changing Mortgages, Credit and More
For me it's that lisp just sets up the language to be so easily used at multiple levels of abstraction, which is all at once a truism by also not nearly enough to communicate what it is like to use.

At this stage there are likely many languages that will allow you to work at similar number of abstractions including syntax, but I'd be surprised if many feel so much like idiomatic code. Implementing macros has some constraints but it's quite possible to internalise and start writing s-exp manipulating code as if it was just any standard problem.
It's a call for simulators.
I did not know that marriage rings with diamonds are so important in the US. In Germany it is pretty common to have plain gold/silver rings.
Uses pandas to infer datatypes leads to nasty coercions. Also, pandas --> objects --> chunk based reading yields the same performance as any other library you mentioned.
> That's because programming in Python is basically same thing as programming in C, it is just more efficient.

You likely got this illusion because from beginning on, you actually programmed in C in a very "Pythonic" way.
If your threat model includes you disguising as someone else, sure.

If your threat model includes crazy people stalking you, my decision is justified.
This was more like 10 years ago, but yeah, WiFi was still crap (and still is :v). In particular, the signal in that room wasn't great.
Claiming that software is AI based is about to become expensive
Solar energy (with storage!) is cheap energy.

We aren't quite at the storage tipping point, but there is good reason to believe we will get there.

Make plans like energy in 2030 will be cheaper than it is now, not more expensive.

> There's no need to flatter blatant sexism with the dignity of honest argument. Indeed, there is nothing to be gained by doing so.

If you think it's so out of line then why engage on that same level by replying with a bunch of "nope"?

I fail to see how his comment is blatantly sexist. If anything it's insulting both sexes equally and craps on the institution of marriage more than anything else.

Yes, his comment was unnecessarily cynical and we all know how well that goes over here when not directed at an approved boogeyman (BigCo, Congress, etc) but you can easily walk that cynicism back by replacing "down payment" with "signalling commitment" and "sex" with one of the other upsides to a stable marriage and the meaning is unchanged.
The graph is for the growth of debt to GDP - we previously had lower debt and so the need to react to COVID caused the debt to grow by quite a bit as CERB was implemented to try and keep people liquid. I can't find any break downs of 2020 in terms of actual debt to GDP, but the chart supplied definitely isn't telling the whole story.
Noncommercial use can be one factor in copyright fair use. (And it's a factor in a defense. The other party can still take you to court.)

This seems IANAL to be, reverse engineering aside, to be more about trademark. I agree with the other comments that cease and desist now is the best path to hopefully avoid expensive legal bills.
Google Chrome’s update software does this on Mac, every time it launches it tries to reinstall its auto starting updater. Adobe does this as well.

They're low in Europe too. The first thing I can think of is that American tech companies are generally much bigger than their Canadian and European counterparts, and therefore have much larger resources financially to pay competitive salaries.

On top of that, the American tech industry has a huge number of both existing companies and new startups entering the picture due to the entrepreneurial culture and VC funding infrastructure.

As a result, the job market in the US is more competitive for talent, whereas Canadian applicants have fewer companies to choose from if they don't want to leave the country, and therefore less leverage for salary.
In Germany it is not a thing either. Discreet gold/silver rings are much more common. I like it, it is less decadent and you can wear the ring every day.
All these nodes are in the same light cone, so we theoretically can stop all mutation and wait for the exact final state to converge to a precise number of uploaded videos.

But the question of the precise number of videos before that moment is indeed ill-defined.
It's an American rich person thing.
In some cases even more than costly to build, they're an area of cutting edge research.

The public assume that it's just a matter of building a "big wire", but the "big" here has to be so big to be effective that we're actually into the realm of new materials science.

The idea of solar panels in Africa powering homes in Europe is probably unlikely to happen for a long time, and even if it did history has shown us time and again that a distributed network is far more resilient than a centralised one, and so the best solutions look a lot more like putting solar panels on every house.
I completely agree with you.
With a quick Google search.

USPS operating budget 82 billion.

FedEx operating budget 4 billion.

Obviously this is not a complete comparison and you would need to also include volume and other metrics to get closer to the truth.

But this is potentially a canary in the coal mine for how inefficient the USPS.

It's possible that the Democrats are saying that the Republicans are attacking the post office to get a political win.

But in actuality the Republicans may be searching for more efficiency.

I don't know if any of this is true but this is another viewpoint.
Yes. Prime "One Day Delivery" used to nearly always mean you got the item the next day. Now it seems to mean "One Day Delivery --after we get around to dispatching it"
Maybe I don't want to (further) subsidize your vanity choice of vehicular power.

The very worst thing about EV owners/advocates is the suffocating cloud of smug that they spew everywhere they go, whether in the car or not.

Hate to be the choosing beggar, and I appreciate all the answers, but ... everyone is answering about how long that 70 digit job would take now, when what I meant was, how big a number could you factor “overnight” with similar cost hardware.
I'm just pointing out we don't have a great track record of introducing a species to positively affect ecosystems.

> Now, a team of independent researchers analyzing an early trial of Oxitec’s technology is raising alarm—and drawing fire from the firm—with a report that some offspring of the GM mosquitoes survived and produced offspring that also made it to sexual maturity.

https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2019/09/study-dna-spread-gen...

Mosquitos lay a lot of eggs.

> Typically, a female only needs to mate once, and after this is done, she can lay eggs for the remainder of her life. Most female mosquitoes can produce between 50 and 500 eggs in their first brood. Subsequent broods may have fewer eggs, but a single female mosquito may produce up to 10 broods throughout her life.

I'm not convinced this is the best solution. Bring back the anti-mosquito lasers :/

I can't find the reference but a study I read recently said that afforestation could only satisfy 30% of what we need for carbon removal. Here's a result in Wikipedia that says something similar:

> A 2019 study of the global potential for tree restoration showed that there is space for at least 9 million km2 of new forests worldwide, which is a 25% increase from current conditions. This forested area could store up to 205 gigatons of carbon or 25% of the atmosphere's current carbon pool by reducing CO2 in the atmosphere and introducing more O2.

Much of these are old and were put up a long time ago. In the last 10 years most people putting things in space have been far more careful to make good end-of-life plans, safe de-orbiting plans, and more. I don't think a rocket launched by SpaceX/ULA/Arianespace would be leaving their second stages to re-enter the atmosphere uncontrolled, it's just not really accepted anymore.

Oxitec mosquitoes carry a fluorescent marker gene that makes them glow when exposed to a specific colour of light, which makes identification easier.

Should be interesting to see how long before the females develop the ability to detect and shun fluorescence. Then we can market fluorescent clothing as not only being pedestrian safe gear, but also mosquito repellent.
> Solar roadways were always a terrible idea. Solar railways would have the same problem.

As I understand it, the problem was it was too expensive to make it sufficiently damage resistant, that damage being continuous wear from all the traffic.

Just outside my window, there is a tram line. Grass grows in the spaces between the rails. I suspect you could put normal panels in those gaps where grass currently grows, and most of the panels would last just as long there as they would on a rooftop.
