Exactly this! It’s the whole point of the United States.

If you don’t like the policies of a state enough, you can move to another one! It’s extremely rare that someone can move between regions with different laws if they don’t like the laws of their state. You get to choose your government by changing where you live, if you think one of the governments is wrong or bad somehow.

Sure, there are consequences. And inefficiencies. But if you’re French, you can’t just decide to live somewhere with different laws. It’s challenging to move to another country. Even though the EU has laws that make it easier to move and work in other countries, it’s nowhere near as easy as the USA. Forget it entirely if you live in a less progressive or allied country.

This forces the states of the USA to stay appealing - they compete with each other for population. This works because the Union of states allows people to leave if one becomes oppressive, else that state goes to war with the entire rest of the Union. So the states are forced to be accountable to each other and their people.

Each state is supposed to be independent for this reason, and it’s why I’m a big fan of limiting Federal government power and instead pushing changes at a state level
That study looks at the effect of a single dose of the vaccine.

For people that haven't been previously infected, the second dose is the similar booster.
I'm Brazilian. It was not fake money that "saved Brazil".
It was reducing / stagnating inflation (temporarily). The fact that they changed the currency even made poor people who had savings in cash (awful idea!), poorer when they forgot to exchange it.

By the way, I've recently posted this https://henvic.dev/posts/bitcoin/ where in the inflation section I explain how, with time, government tried to change the term inflation (to what is essentially a market basket) so they could... make it even worse and get away with it.

You're welcome. I hope they help at least one person avoid or get out of a bad situation.
Sure, there's mechanistic reason to believe that this is the case, but to I'd still like to see the actual data that this is the case.
I'm pretty sure that's not what the author meant in the movie and helmet examples.

> A) Call Leia and show interest in her weekend, and in her as a person, and after some pleasantries are exchanged, mention how amazing the main character is in the movie he watched.

---

> Situation: Kylo has been fascinated with helmets since time immortal. He custom designs and builds his own helmet. Knowing most of his friends don’t share his passion, he is hesitant to wear his new helmet at their next gathering.

> Answer: Send out an email to all his friends and include photos of his new helmet.

The first one heavily implies that Luke just calling his friend is a better and more personal way of catching up, and the second one doesn't say the person should send a weekly email summary, it's saying for big projects one is passionate about, email may be a better choice than instant messaging.

Freaking side-loaded, accountability-avoiding laws.

I propose officials pay a percent of their salary for every year a law is in effect, that was passed with the intent of avoiding public debate or scrutiny.
Sweet - simple and effective - thank you for sharing!
which they waived very often. I had whatsapp when there was officially a $1 per year cost of subscription, but the first year was free - and then the next, and the next, the "fees" kept getting waived. Then facebook acquired them, and removed the mention of fees altogether.
The parent comment explicitly mentioned medium-format.

The point when digital became competitive with medium-format was an important milestone--it's just that if you did events, sports, wildlife, or photojournalism you were probably already on digital.
They easily could, agreed.

They even might? It's not unheard of for Apple to release software on other platforms, however uncommon it might be. It's certainly not the kind of thing they do right at the time of release.

I don't imagine you'd get much penetration relative to running it on every device at the OS level, though. Probably rough on the battery running in userspace?

It doesn't seem like it solves a problem most people are likely to have.
Hi TruthWillHurt, are you in the UK? Looking at that list, that looks like what's required for a UK developer -- the environment in the UK is very regulated and quite different than the U.S.
Reality does seem quite inconsistent with itself lately. Maybe if I got in touch with it I could tell it to come back when it has fixed all its double standards. But I'm pretty sure it won't listen.

If you wanna try and tell it that, don't start from me - I'm just along for the ride. Same as all the commenters who have no loved one in either hospital but are quick to propose clever solutions to spherical problems in vacuum

Ask HN: Vanilla JavaScript vs Web GUI Frameworks
After being a XAML/WPF C# developer for quite some time, I'd like to modernize my skill set and learn some web app development.

Ive seen React, Angular, Vue and all these well established GUI Frameworks over the years. Whenever I've tried learning React, I found the process very complex compared to WPF. I always get the feeling, if I'm using a layout engine, why don't I just use the basic constructs of that platform. This being plain JS, CSS, and Html.

Is it wrong or unproductive to start off my learning experience with the fundamentals? It sounds like an obvious yes, but I look around and see people going straight into React.

I don't want to go into something like React without knowing basic concepts. Also is there a good book on learning the fundamentals?
This has always been my favorite event in economics.

How does the calibration work? I saw comments saying you have to get a canister with a known co2 content and run it through to calibrate. Do these home sensors just assume the outside level is a fixed value and calibrate to that?
That is a very cool experiment and a fantastic read!

It reminds me of my own adventures making yogurt, each generation carried forward to the next batch. Being able to freeze the samples (for the ecoli, not the yogurt!) is really neat. At anytime they rewind the clock to test an ancestor.
Why is this written like a gossip-column rag? Is this just the style of this series of articles, or something else?

I've been through it. Burn out, Depression. Quit a job, six months off.

I see people doing that as taking control. We are the strong ones. We are the ones who reject the vile life that is corporate cubicles.

People who seem to be able to tolerate it have in reality just given up. They are reduced to accepting the grey cubicle and unchanging life that is working in an office.

Sure, there are some shining lights and people that thrive. But the majority of people in offices are beaten down and just trying to stay anonymous and survive.

A nervous breakdown is going on the offensive! It's screaming no more! It's taking back your life in a burst of energy that leaves you exhausted and takes time to recover from. But when you do recover, and you will, you come out better and wiser than before.

I guard my mental health like the Crown Jewels now and really try not to do anything I don't want to do!
A claim referencing unspecified sources on the internet is essentially unfalsifiable. How does anyone debunk such a claim? Do a Google search and start on page 1?

For an actual example of this more cautious framing, see another paper (also by OpenAI, also comparing two classes of generative models), https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.10650.

I've tried this [0] "typing biometrics authentication" out in some test apps. It worked well in detecting typing a password between two hands, just my left hand and just my right hand. I tried to do the same cadence - but it seems to also notice keypress duration as well. Not sure how I feel about my typing rhythm being a personal signature.

Is something wrong with social platforms as Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.?
Hi guys, as I see it right now, the current social apps have become useless for new users. They are based on 3F - friends, followers, and fame. If you are a new user with no 3F there is no place for you to go.

Only TikTok has an amazing feed that doesn't require 3F. All other platforms work on a first-come-first-serve basis. Is it ok or are we going to see some new platforms with no 3F requirements sometime soon?
It's a podcast/radio show. You should listen to it. The text is secondary. I don't know how much attention, if any, it gets.
Not saying you made the wrong choice, but I would have never taken the counter offer, and really to be in a dictating position, I would have had the job offer ready before any talk that would result in not getting what I want. If a company needs an incentive to keep you, chances are they might revisit their incentives when you least expect it and let you go at a later date.
There’s no such a thing as small price to pay attached to privacy. You either have it or you don’t.
Technically you can do and undo the same thing a trillion times and have a trillion commits. In the end your net impact in the code will be zero, yet you will be the PR champ.
Apparently they can just ignore it, though, at the risk of whatever consequences would apply. I confess I do not know the details of the legalities around this particular injunction, whether it behaves like an American injunction, etc. I notice that not a court but a commissioner issued this injunction, and not even a commissioner with authority over all of Germany, but one just within the (state? province? municipality?) of Hamburg. I'm not sure whether that is of any import but it does seem odd to me.

Like, if the city of Atlanta had a privacy commission and ordered Facebook not to do something, Facebook would probably just ignore that since cities in the U.S. do not have the power to regulate interstate commerce. I have no idea whether the same type of limitation exists in this case.

Presumably Facebook weighed the risks before going ahead. We'll see if their decision turns out to be the right one.
That suggests your system has a liberal setting of /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid or your process is privileged, running as root or with either CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_PERFMON. Generally unprivileged processes cannot access the PMU, because the PMU can be used to take over the system.

The gravity assist works by transferring some of the planet's momentum to the craft, and that momentum has a direction, not just an amount.
I think it's a kind of journalism hack (not to be confused with hack journalism!) because people literally have a psychological impetus to gossip (at least, this is what I learned from Joseph Henrichs and Paul Bloom, who seem to explain gossip as helping communities enforce social norms). So if you have some seemingly juicy gossip about a historical figure, maybe people will feel unaccountably grateful to you or unaccountably eager to share with friends?

Satellite imagery is not available, yet HD photos are available in Street View? Doesn't make sense too much.
From what I understand, this ain’t going away. All the medical experts are saying this will be a seasonal thing like the flu.
I think if the author has not slept on the street for at least a night or two, they have no business writing about "the homeless problem".
Interestingly, I'm a scientist, and I definitely create business value. I'm not doing basic academic research, with is fine by me, but I do R&D on technologies that will be in our products X years from now. I'm also the keeper of "how the product works," which combines knowledge from multiple science and engineering disciplines.

Reminds me of Out of the Silent Planet by C. S. Lewis, written before anyone had much of a clear idea of what the surface of Mars is really like. There was air and life in the canyons, but everything else was a low-oxygen desert.

Realistically, though, I wouldn't expect pressure to vary that much with elevation. Mars' weaker gravity implies that it would vary less than on Earth. However, according to this [1], the pressure does vary a lot by season. That's interesting.

> Surface pressure: 6.36 mb at mean radius (variable from 4.0 to 8.7 mb depending on season)

Surface water might not be readily available on Mars, but ice is present on the surface at the poles, and probably elsewhere in shadowy craters or underground. (Unfortunately, the places with the best access to ice are not great for solar power.)

What does “successful” mean to you? Are you claiming they were profitable? Of so, what’s the source?
Outside of work, I use whatever channel people interact with me on. That's largely SMS, various chat apps, and some e-mail, and a fair amount of voice.

I like talking to people who I value. Like that a lot.

For work, or anything with complexity in any major axis, time, number of elements, etc... I continue to use e-mail.

The best thing about that is being able to go back into those e-mails and recover info. My archive goes almost all the way back, and the little bit I don't have in there really doesn't matter much. Surprisingly, the rest has more times than I can count.

People can contact me, literally decades later, and it's there, I can spool it up, and act on whatever it is almost as if I never missed a beat.

Maybe when the new tools are around and endure in a similar fashion I would reconsider. Kind of hard to do so in such an open, portable format though.
You are tracking your dog and not your friends though.

That is a little bit of a different context to what the comment above claimed.

What a useless statement. That could mean anything.
I bet it'd be less than 100k to take a year off in the Bay Area with little reduction in lifestyle.

A senior dev in the Bay Area working at a respectable company will get 300k per year minimum.

300k+ for 9 years will put you solidly into the 7 figures of net worth - especially if you invest well in the last decade.

which is, imho, a loss for journalism integrity in australia. The media law was instigated by the incumbent media conglomerate in australia, to prevent revenue leakage to google, but still allow the utilization to bring in traffic etc.

Google, and the other tech companies should've strong armed, and threaten to quit (and perhaps, actually do) displaying _any_ australian media outlets in their search engines.

I think google didn't want to play chicken because the fees they are asked to pay is relatively small (given their size), and a fight with the aus gov't would've been a bit ugly (because it's an indirect fight that the media conglomerate has managed to strong arm the gov't to fight for them). Alas, it wasn't meant to be, and Google (and others) deemed it a small price to pay - what a letdown for ordinary australians and a huge win for the entrenched media conglomerate in australia.
This is key. Fully vaccinated people in Singapore aren't getting seriously sick (which is great!) but they are getting infected with Covid (which isn't so great).

What that means is that fully vaccinated individuals can get infected and infect unvaccinated individuals. As such, your population won't be protected unless most people are vaccinated (80-90%+).

I don't think it is such an obvious yes that it's unproductive or wrong to start with 'basics', or fundamentals.

When I think about music and lucid dreaming, I think of Robert Rich’s work.

During the COVID pandemic lockdowns Markus Reuter has done a video interview[0] with him, and there is an article about his sleep concerts[1].

He published a new album on Bandcamp late last year recently (Neurogenesis), it’s written entirely in just intonation and is fantastic.

This is a really interesting point and got me thinking — if taxes were hidden, people wouldn’t directly notice the cost increases associated with raising sales tax. If you pay $1.12 for a $1.00 soda in city one, but $1.07 in city two, you will directly realize the tax impact that the local sales tax has.

I wonder if this was originally intentional, to prevent taxes from invisibly rising without the people being aware of the impact of the price.

It also makes it much harder for national brands if they like to have nice round numbers as the cost of things (which they seem to) - they can’t charge $1.00 for a soda everywhere, or their margins would be crazy wonky depending on region
It will take me years to recover financially from my last burnout.. but not working for a year was still worth it.

I got to travel the world before Covid.

I learned the hard way that to avoid burnout, I have to take more unpaid days and be slow to respond outside business hours. I still tinker on my own software projects, to stay interested, but I am much more constrained about it now.

Self-care looks different for everyone.

For me, I run daily and paint wargame miniatures instead of playing video games at night.
It is important for me to exercise, avoid screens and get outside much as possible. Last summer I got into solo hammock camping.

No other ally has enemies on the border who think it’s appropriate to launch hundreds of rockets indiscriminately into civilian centers as a form of protest.

ETA: I’m not sure how this is controversial, over 700 rockets have been launched without any specific target in mind aside from “Israel” in the last day. Random ppl have been killed including an Israeli Arab family.

What was Israel’s response?

A bunch of targeted strikes that took out Hamas leadership and no one else and a few knock&demolish missions (basically if the IDF thinks a building is being used as a hamas HQ but it’s full of civilians they drop a blank on it to warn everyone to get out usually they also drop leaflets saying get out now then a few minutes later they drop the real bomb. So basically there’s enough time for everyone to get out and away but not really enough time for the hamas operatives to save anything. Also it sends a very clear message: don’t harbor terrorists in your midst as you might end up losing your office or home.)
I wonder how many workers they would have left if they kept the ones that really cared about there mission instead of just were there for the "Shopifam"...

(Of course, that's one now 14-year-old assertion from one militant group among several, so that doesn't really show whether this is more or less prevalent over time -- and the U.S. legislation on satellite imagery discussed in the newer article is from 1997, so it wasn't responding to this specific practice.)
