On the Pacific Coast you can see this in action with redwood 'fairy rings'. The old redwoods got chopped down and then the roots sent up shoots in a ring about the stump. It all grows into pretty big ring of trees.

Great for making forts in as a kid.

Tall, hard woods. Great smells of the dank forest floor and the tannins of the redwoods. Birds twittering, squirrels barking.

Dust, duff.

Your imagination running buckwild about ancient castles or being an ewok. Mom calls at dusk for dinner, red spaghetti and bugjuice.

Coolness creeps in and the scrubjays squawk at another.

Just dark enough for flashlight tag.

And running through church columns in twilight and you never get tired and you never get old.

And everything is perfect.

> no one reasonable said you cannot land rockets

No-one said it was physically impossible. Nobody thought it was a valid business plan, though. And these days I don't know of any credible concerns about SpaceX's profitability even if Starlink doesn't pan out.

> Electric car wasn’t questioned if it’s possible

No-one questioned if it was possible to make an EV of some description. What was questioned was whether it was practical to make an EV more desirable than an ICE. Tesla wouldn't be struggling with scaling issues if they weren't wildly successful. All of a sudden EVs winning drag races is handwaved as "but of course they won, they're EVs" where 2-3 years ago it would have been inconceivable.

> Boring tunnels?

TBH I'd forgotten about the whole tunneling thing. When I said 'insane predictions' I was talking about the impossible predictions re. FSD.

> Separately, I suspect that quite a few of the ppl who had rent relief had cars that, let’s just say, wouldn’t be highly sought in he used vehicle market.

Perhaps.

Vehicles have been pushed in every medium as status symbols. Creative financing options and cheaper insurance have allowed those affected by this to continue to participate. It isn’t just new cars but expensive restoration and customization of old ones.

I think this is beginning to fall away, in part because young people do not rely on physical presence to gain and maintain social standing among their peers as much as they used to.

So a better phone camera matters more than nicer rims. Selfies in front of a fancy car get less likes than swimming next to a sea tortoise.

That said I think groups that have been economically disadvantaged over long periods of time process and integrate culture shifts like this more slowly.

I have tried hard to understand what makes Peterson such a radioactive personality on the left and I really don't get it. Admittedly I haven't read his books, but I watched a bunch of his videos and have listened to podcast interviews with him with multiple different hosts and I'm stumped.

Nor do I think Peterson is especially insightful or interesting. He's obviously pretty sharp, but most of what he talks about is milquetoast self-help slurm for 22 year old dudes and bored housewives.

The only thing I have seen him say that is remotely offensive is his comments about trans people, and even that wasn't really directed at the trans community. It was more of a backlash against the Canadian laws that make it a serious offence to misgender someone.

> I buy that some consumers don't understand the separation between Chrome the browser and Google the website. But if ignorance is allowed...

When you "log into Chrome" with a Google account, is it really ignorant to assume that the scope of the settings in Chrome is the same scope as the Google account? I mean it's wrong, but it's wrong because Google is deliberately blurring distinctions and undermining common-sense assumptions.

I've eyeing a gaming PC for a while. I game, do music production, amd also do i die game dev. If I buy an all in one I'll pay a $500 premium but I'll be able to actually acquire all the components.

It will change if I understood the recent market trends correctly.
I have around a 148 IQ but scored only 1060 on the SAT. Clearly those two measures are not linked. This has not prevented me from earning a 4 year degree or becoming a software developer. I find writing software to be easy while many of my peers seem to struggle. In reflection personality and practice are all that have mattered. IQ isn’t a significant consideration of comfort/confidence in writing software, a skill.
Read the regex. It handles self-closing tags fine.

Also you're doing the intensely annoying thing that lots of StackOverflow people do of imagining that the asker really wanted to ask a different question. It happens sometimes. But you shouldn't just jump in and assume that they don't know what they want and you're so much smarter than them so you know what they really want.

Offer additional answers if you want, but answer the question they asked first.

(Sorry, pet peeve.)
I'm sorry, I should have explained the jargon here.

A "monophyletic" set of organisms is defined to be a set for which there exists a common ancestor, which ancestor has no descendents outside the set. (Try to ignore sexual reproduction when thinking about that; think about "lineages" of "species" first.)

This concept is the basis of modern biological taxonomy.

A "tree" is a plant with very pronounced woody structures.

There is nothing about the botanical concept of a "tree" that immediately suggests they should be monophyletic. At least to someone with general biological knowledge, it would seem entirely possible that this woody morphological form could have arisen multiple times independently, and indeed that is what one would suspect, given knowledge of the prevalence of convergent evolution elsewhere.
> I get that this is a potential big problem, but I had to stop reading when the dog washing company blamed needing to respin a new board on a chip being out of stock due to this.

What you are suggesting is quite impractical, unless you are a really big business with cash, which can simply direct order components.

Small businesses, even in Shenzhen, a place inundated with supply chain abundance, always have to either keep running from one small wholesaler, to another searching for components, or pay n-times the price working with somebody like Arrow.

In my experience, you can't safeguard yourself against such things as a small company no matter what.

I worked in, and around OEM electronics since 2007, and things like having to redesign a product 4 times a year to accommodate a supply chain disruption were happening even in the best years. Nothing special with the current disruption besides the scale.

This is also the reason why Asian electronics makers have such short product lifetimes. It's usually easier just to sunset a product, and make an improved, and better version with newer components, than to fight against the always evolving supply chain. And I not talking about small companies, ASUS, Acer, MSI, and such all practice this.

I know few people running the Chuwi brand. What they do as a small maker is that the moment the get a good consignment of chipsets, and other parts, they spin a laptop model solely for that batch alone.

Then, they live off it until they get another good parts purchase, when they usually sell their component leftovers, or do few final runs if they can find people wanting to buy them for rebadging.

The entirety of small volume laptop industry spins around chipsets, and screens — hardest things to find for a small company.

I want you people to take a looks on a big difference in how companies in the West, and here handle the crisis: Western brands wail, cry, and wait for component supplies to resume, while Asian brands just keep releasing new products with parts coming into their hands, and making great cash from this shortage.
At least on AWS the AMD CPUs seem to be clocked pretty low, so assuming the IPC is similar to Intel, the performance/cost benefit of AMD seem pretty small and comes with downsides for tasks that benefit from single core performance.

To be fair, you aren’t making the decision just for yourself when you sell your data to 23andme. You’re doing it for all your relatives and descendants too. The GP made the pint flippantly but I think it is worth seriously considering whether business models like that should be allowed.

No problem. I am a native speaker and it seems a weird expression to me as well (so much that I had to look it up to be sure). I’d expect it to mean what your original usage was.

Don’t get me started on “flammable vs inflammable” vs “accurate vs inaccurate” ;)
Your location data is sent to Apple with your IP 24/7 if you have Location Services enabled, as the device sends the visible wifi AP mac addresses to Apple continuously. It's not just passive GPS reception.
The moment the question is “which resource can I unreservedly trust”, you’re already duped. Encyclopedias are written and edited by real people, with real agendas, and no collaboration or editorial model will get rid of those.

There’s a difference in “how exactly should I not trust this or that resource” though.

> make a “private mode” that another division doesn’t respect.

It is not a "private mode," it is a "don't save browser history to my local machine, and that's it." It clearly says that when one opens it.

Incognito mode does not indicate to websites that the client is supposed to "not be tracked" or whatever these plaintiffs want. That would in fact allow for even more tracking and user-hostile ("please visit this website not in incognito mode") behavior.
Home cannot be set up without an iCloud account, which requires an Apple ID, which you can't get without providing a phone number.

> But if ignorance is allowed to create liability as would be required for this case . . . I don't know what that means for companies offering products that interact mostly at arms length with one another.

There are two separate but related things to consider here. First, for legal purposes, is there actually a difference between the two entities involved? The easiest way to do this is to actually have two different corporations, but it's possible there are ways to effect this without separate incorporation. If that's true, then the second question to ask is whether or not one entity is an "alter-ego" of the other. When that is true, then legally one becomes tied to the actions of the other (e.g., recovering money during bankruptcies, liability in defamation suits, etc.).

I don't know what Google's situation is, but the fact that there is consumer confusion makes me think that the claim of alter-ego would survive summary judgement and progress to discovery to determine if it's true or not. If you want to avoid this situation, your best bet is to ensure that you have really good firewalls between the arm's-length products, including separate legal incorporation, and you don't try to blend the products together (at which point they're not really arm's-length, are they?).
One of my regrets was accidentally seeing the salary of my female Vietnamese coworker and not making a stink about it.

Her ESL was not that great but she would just go around fixing bugs. So. Many. Bugs. And in a place full of architectural astronauts, when I say I generally had no issues with the quality of the code in her fixes, that is saying something.

Turned out she was making about the same as our senior QA folks.

We really should just talk about salaries. But that is partly a zero sum game, which requires the people currently winning to take a hard look at rather they “need” that extra 10% or if it’s just going to make retirement easier or sooner.
I mean that bit is clearly wrong. An XML/HTML parser is a perfectly practical way to solve the problem.

However I completely agree that they didn't miss the point. A regex to do this might be fine for hacky things that you don't need to be robust (e.g. for searching for stuff, measuring stats, one-off scripts etc.).
Pollution is pollution.

There is a significant amount of human health issues that result from (air) pollution. Resources or not, we're not currently factoring in the true cost of fossil fuels. Remove the subsidies. Add the health cost. Those resources are significantly more expensive.
Google gathers data through Google Analytics and Google Ad Manager. Those are not websites you visit, nor are they the user’s employer, school, or Internet Service Provider. Moreover, it is not the case that the user’s web behavior “might” be visible to these services. They are.

Google lied by omission. They could have easily put “right there on the tin” that they were using these products to track users, but they didn’t. That was deliberate.

This sleight of hand is par for the course for Google, et al. “We don’t sell your private information” is the answer to the concern about private tracking, obfuscating the real concern of targeted behavioral advertising behind an altogether different one.

They know what they’re doing. Letting them get away from it would be like letting cigarette companies put a label on their product that says “this product has not been proven to cause Alzheimer’s.”
It is completely possible that there was a strong bias.

With that said, all research has its limits. I think the authors have been very honest to discuss their findings and the limitation of the context - best case scenario someone takes the idea to the next level, worst case scenario we know it's a limited study and not conclusive.
Inflation. It’s everywhere. It’s not a shortage.
another question is why are we penalizing people for bitching about the right things?

I mean penalize the people who bitch just to bitch, but shouldn't we be like "yeah why is that" when people are bitching about inefficiency?
The solution is simple - just switch teams to one where people are allowed to slack off. It's basically a norm in a big bank I work for - the management is mostly non-technical and clueless, there's little time pressure so devs are not really pushed hard (or at all) to deliver.
I wonder why pages on archive.is never seem to present the Reader Mode option when opened in Firefox or Chrome. I wish there were a force reader mode option so I could at least try to improve my situation in the case that the archive.is renders some lines of text as 100% overlapping.
It looks like God Emperor of Dune came out in 1981, and given that's its GW, I assume someone involved had read it.

Like many “irrational” pricing schemes, it can be explained with price discrimination.

If you’re cost sensitive, you upgrade yourself.

If you’re paying an overworked IT department to buy laptops, you pay the premium to Dell instead of hiring an employee to deal with upgrades like this, and then hire another person to scream at multiple people (instead of one) when all the laptops start BSODing because of some Microsoft update combined with Murphy’s Law.
As discussed 11 months ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23552967), yes it is user ignorance.

Whether or not we can fully trust Wikipedia is one thing, and it is true that truth should not just be a result of frequency counting.

I'd say Wikipedia, like the scientific process, works in the limit; any snapshot may contain errors, but there's a process for weeding out errors that leads to conversion towards the right direction, if not always in a strictly monotonic fashion.

There are countries in which things said on Wikipedia are not permissible to be viewed, or where it is banned in whole. I prefer to live in a place where you can view everything (e.g, [1,2]) and make up your mind for yourself, weighing the evidence.

You are not going to find any sizable player who will agree to immediate payment. Even getting someone to agree net 30 can be pulling teeth from time to time.

This war was fought decades ago. Just-in-time production won, and it was a decisive victory. This chip shortage is rough, but nowhere near as rough as it would be if we weren't doing things the way we are right now. Everything that has happened has happened for a reason. Attempting to disrupt this will put you in way over your head in ways you couldn't imagine.
Well, yes, there's the display latency issue, but I think that given the state of some programs, the display lag is really way, way down the list of problems.

I have a 60 Hz display, and an IPS one at that, which doesn't even try to pretend it's fast. Still, my terminal window doesn't lag behind when I type. Teams does, every time.

> Java for GUI apps certainly hasn’t done much to show that it’s a better solution.

Meh, I use a Jetbrains IDE almost everyday, sometimes even with Rust and pretty much everything turned on. Even on my almost eight-year-old MBP input never, ever lags like Teams does on a 6 core i7 with a "gaming" GPU. It's not as smooth as a Linux terminal, but it's never irritating.

> It’s funny but sad how these days, apt upgrade runs so fast, and compiling kernel modules happens extremely quickly, but it takes 10x as long as it did 20 years ago to schedule a calendar appointment with someone because GCal in a browser is so slow. Slack compared to curses-based IRC clients…woof.

Exactly. And what drives me up a wall is seeing people being resigned. Some act like they don't even notice this. I guess we may moan until we're blue in the face on HN &c, but if "regular people" don't care, no one's going to do anything about this.
Marilyn had the same framing of the problem as everyone else.

Marilyn made her key assumptions explicit in the original explanation she gave.

92% of people still disagreed with her.

And most of them seemed fully aware that she had the guiness world record for the highest IQ in the world.

You simply don't understand how modern franchise dealers operate. Cash discounts are no longer a thing. Due to incentives they prefer to finance through the manufacturer's captive lender. The F&I guy is already sitting there in his office with nothing else to do and as long as you have a decent credit score the approval process takes literally a few minutes.

Sure the dealer will take cash if that's how you want to pay but you're not getting any extra discount.
