No, I'm saying something being supported (or at least not repealed) by republicans doesn't make it ideologically right wing. Republicans, like democrats, have a wide variety of beliefs in their platforms, both right and left.
It’s about time the continuous flow of statements from big corporations around political (supposedly consensual) issues start to backfire.

Just make your customers happy, don’t strongarm them, don’t overprice your products, and pay taxes, is all people are really asking from corporations.
You’ve managed to confuse “loose” and “lose” exactly like a native speaker!

The goal of communication is understanding. The native speakers you speak with need to work harder, the same as you do.

If every state is gerrymandered beyond all sanity, are any of our elections valid?
Usually the words that are close to Latin or Greek in Portuguese will have English equivalents (<- here's one!) that are also close to the Latin/Greek. So in a pinch for a word and trying to translate in your head, it's easier to remember the words with a smaller transformation from Portuguese to English than something very different. Some sort of compression coding of a translation dictionary inside of the brain :D
Are you talking about immigrant Latinos, who constitute the supermajority of the farm and meat production labor you're talking about? Yes, I can totally see how they feel left out of the American political process; sometimes they are even called "illegals"!

And the families who own farms capture the lion's share of the fruits of labor!

It does not matter.

They have no power in our system to simply upend norms as they choose.

They can pack up and move themselves if they don’t like it.

The onus is not on everyone else to cater to them. It’s to abide laws as they are written within our constitutional system of elections and statutes overseeing them.

I’m not saying that’s ideal. I’m saying that’s how it works.

Down votes do nothing to make it any less true.

If these folks would like to change that, I’m sure blue urban areas and states would love to renegotiate their wealth being extracted to fund rural communities.

Ironically, Idaho is a bigger grifter on Federal welfare than Oregon.

So they want a more conservative way of life? Which appears to mean “more welfare for me”.

If they dig into the history a bit they’d learn rural life was subsidized to begin with, with the government paying business to move out of urban areas.

Using government to change the rules for all is not “little government”. Upending state borders out of spite is hardly a “conservative” solution.

Their entire platform is laughable given the reality.
I thought the move into SF was actually caused by a specific tax incentive around 2010, but don't remember the details.

Quick question: I noticed a Form 3 in the video. How much of the prototyping did you do on it?

Also, I wish there were a pledge level where I'd buy one kit for me, and anonymously gift one to any random kid in another part of the world who wants one but can't afford it (kind of like OLPC did).
I did not realize just how many different kind of mushrooms produce that chemical. All over order Agaricales.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psilocybin_mushroom

So what's weird is that Massopora isn't even in the same division as Agaricales. They're both fungi. So what does that mean? That the classification is wrong, convergeant evolution, or fungi have been making drugs for an insanely long time?
One term I have heard for this phenomenon is a "purity spiral".

Why not? Because this is exactly right.

Note that all sexually reproducing organisms are like this: a single individual cannot reproduce. And for social animals like humans, a single mating pair cannot reproduce in the wild. (If you doubt this, watch a couple of episodes of "Naked and Afraid.) The minimal viable reproductive unit for humans is a tribe or village of a few dozen individuals.
I was under the impression the "committee" here was the people who wrote the C standard? So the accepted interpretation by the people who wrote the document must be the intended meaning, no? If it wasn't, they'd have written something else.

(Sure, it's possible they wrote something, then only later came to understand the implications of this. But the standard has been understood as allowing nasal demons since long before the latest revision of the C standard, so I'd argue that by publishing a new version without rewording that section, they're making clear that they intend its current interpretation to be part of the standard.)
TIL gogo dancers are probably named after a legendary rock club named „Whiskey A Go Go“, which inspired the name of a gene that causes the legs of anesthetized flies to shake similar to once-popular dance moves in said club.
Fascinating.
I can't help but look at some peoples' rejection of public health guidance in the US as "not a bug/won't fix."

The relevant authorities (including traditional mainstream media) injected politics into the public discourse, which destroyed trust in what should be a normal public health process. Not only that but the relevant leaders of agencies decided to try manage the supply of masks through "steering" the public by downplaying the usefulness of masks.

Distrust of untrustworthy leaders is a feature, not a bug.
Yeah, that video looks very representative of what I'd expect, from trying a few AR platforms.

The HoloLens and Magic Leap promo material was absurdly misleading in this respect - IRL the viewports feel tiny and the image is dim and low resolution. I'd be hesitant to call them outright lies... if they were anything but obvious, outright lies.
>but real misunderstandings caused by different understandings of what seems to be a set of perfectly obvious sentences to both sides.

Yes. Especially true when it happens between an American and a Brit.

Also true between Germans and Brits, when the Germans are so good with their English, the precision with their wordings which tends to trigger some Brits.

If the plot were smaller there's the risk that someone could calculate plots "on the fly" within the 30-second claim window, thus reducing Chia to proof-of-work (or even breaking it entirely? the "green" paper [1] is a bit too dense for me). It's expected and planned that k will have to increase to 33 in a few years to stay ahead.

Honestly, does it even matter?

Even if it were allowed, it would still be awkward. I want to, as much as is practicable, find problems as early as possible, and not wait for them to get all the way to staging. I'm not really interested in making myself less able to do my job effectively just because I can.
ON THE ONE HAND.....

The comment you replied to said "with a given ISA, how custom can the uarch be", implying that it would not be very custom.

You replied, in your first paragraph, that on the contrary, it could be pretty custom, with the implication being that it probably would be, because that's the value proposition that Ampere is presumably offering.

So your paragraph 1 is suggesting that the sentence "Ampere will now use a custom uarch" is an argument that Ampere's custom arch might well be pretty highly customized.

ON THE OTHER HAND....

Your second paragraph points out that simply being custom is a social signal (the signal of being, in your words, "that you mean business rather than just going the well-trodden path"). You argue (and I agree) that this social signal might make you more attractive to some customers. I.e. the signal might increase sales. This implies that it would be reasonable for Ampere to spend a certain amount on a barely-custom custom uarch, purely for sales/marketting reasons, as long as it didn't substantially harm performance. You know, because of the implication.

So your paragraph 2 is suggesting that the sentence "Ampere will now use a custom uarch" is NOT an argument that Ampere's custom arch has any particular need to be highly customized.
Yes! I couldn't get into the instant pot either but the air fryer changed my life. I eat so much meat and vegetables now.

Mozilla has never been truly sincere in their claimed desire to create a browser builder toolkit.

I think the cities weren't interesting until the first wave got there, though obviously this doesn't apply to everywhere.

But also, the cities aren't naturally cities and the suburbs aren't naturally suburbs - they're suburbs because of restrictive zoning, and that's what caused them to be more expensive to starter homeowners and less appealing to young people.
If your Chilean is having difficulties learning the local language to such a degree that people don’t tolerate his practicing attempts, then he might need to just sign up for a course where a teacher, paid to be patient, will work with him.

I love language-learning, and I can usually bootstrap myself to a level where the locals don’t reply in English when I want to practice. However, with Dutch I found it difficult to bootstrap and I experienced what your Chilean did. When I complained about how locals weren’t letting me practice, I was told (the famous Dutch directness!) that I needed to simply hire a teacher to get to a higher level, instead of being annoying to local people. People’s time is precious, and a foreigner speaking the local language haltingly is arguably disrespectful of their time.
How does it addresses my point?

I suspect that in locations with a higher prevalence of masking the population is generally more vigilant: more hand washing, more social distance, stay at home when ill, avoid obviously ill people, and so on. May be a case of correlation, not causation.

It would be interesting to have a trial where everyone was wearing N95s, but we're not likely to see that.

> The trouble was that in that context, a null pointer dereference didn't trap, (because it was kernel code? not sure.) so the bug was not detected.

Yes, because it was kernel code. Because that dereference is completely legal in kernel code. The C code was fine, assuming that it was compiled with appropriate kernel flags. This was not a bug in Linux, at least not on the level of the C code itself.

> The linux kernel now uses -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks to ensure that doesn't happen again.

I also seem to remember that it was already using other "please compile this as kernel code" flags that should have implied "no-delete-null-pointer-checks" behavior, and that the lack of this implication was considered a bug in GCC and fixed.

The FAQ on Starlink is pretty silly (or head-in-the-sand pretending competition doesn't exist):

> Starlink is designed to provide consumer broadband services to large, fixed terminals (in the satellite industry, this is known as Fixed Satellite Service).

1. I'm sure they'll make a smaller Dishy exactly as soon as they figure out how.
2. Fixed location is a beta restriction to make writing the software easier. Walk before you run.

> While there has been talk of limited use of Starlink for point-to-point connectivity, such as for high-speed securities trading, [...] it is not a part of their consumer-facing services, nor is it known to be possible with their consumer hardware.

Satellite-to-satellite links have nothing to do with the ground equipment, and the ground equipment won't even know.

> Starlink terminals are uniquely identified on the network, and can be easily geolocated by the network

Silly concept. Of course "the network" needs to know 1) which satellite is overhead 2) where to aim the response beam, from that satellite.
Before smartphones and before cheap GPS, I got spoken turn-by-turn directions while driving from Tellme.

1-800-TELL-ME launched in 1999/2000. You told it your address and the destination address, and it read you the directions one at a time. E.g. after you made the first turn, you'd ask for the next one and it'd tell you. It did not need any GPS this way, it's like talking to someone sitting next to you reading the map for you.

Microsoft bought Tellme in 2007 for $800 million.

I'm not an expert so maybe someone can give a better response, but I've understood CRISPR as something that doesn't necessarily edit all the targeted cells, just some proportion of them. So, maybe if one doesn't want to eliminate the production of a compound entirely, one sets the dose low enough to to only edit the genes of, say, half the targeted cells.

If I'm interpreting the article correctly, though, it sounds like in their trials they think they may have edited nearly all the targeted cells.
“The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don’t just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.”

— James Nicoll

I think this aspect of English is what makes it so complicated. For instance, words are spelt with an "f" or a "ph" depending on what language we originally stole it from.
Flash memory is uniform. Every flash memory die is (hopefully) identical to the next one. Once you know how to produce a flash memory die of a given size, you can produce a million of them, and that's worth a million times more.

Chia plots are unique. Producing two copies of one isn't just pointless, but undesirable; it means that someone else might get a copy and reap the rewards instead of the person who plotted it.

Reddit's search is more useful than is generally given credit for, though it's not spectacular.

Searching link submissions on Reddit is all but impossible, given that the search targets are typically just the link title itself. If you have a given URL and you want to see if there was any Reddit discussion, you'll have far better luck. (Use the "url:<urlspec>" syntax).

For self posts (that is, original content submitted to Reddit as text), the likelihood of a hit is far larger as there's much more text to search off of.

Even better: you can restrict search by the date-range presets, or if you don't mind submitting Unix timestamps, any arbitrary date specification in a signed 32-bit range. You can also restrict search by subreddit or submitter, among other criteria.

I've made ... reasonably good use of Reddit as an essay repository with the ability to recall any of somewhat over 500 items over the past decade or so, posted to a personal subreddit. It helps of course that I usually have some idea of the language I'd use, and/or repeat myself a lot.

There are limitations. Reddit doesn't index comments, and searching large subreddits or globally is now quite difficult due to the sheer volume of submissions. I wouldn't say Reddit's search is great, but used with intention, it's serviceable.

(The rest of the site is ... failing spectacularly to serve my needs, I'm not endorsing it at all. But search actually does provide utility.)

These days I find HN an even more useful personal pattern repository, thanks to Algolia and the "by:<username>" filter.
true, some hobby-ists improve society. but how many.. maybe 1 in a million? What about jobs that no one wants to do? Who does those? If so many people get paid by the government, wont that collapse the value of money, making 90% of all people live in poverty? Im not convinced it is a good idea.
Hey friend. I've been through some similar experiences myself, so I understand where you're coming from. Right now it probably feels like there is no hope but - trust me - there is. You must be a smart person, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to hold down a C++ job for five years. So you know you have talents and abilities that many other people didn't. For now, give yourself a break though. The fact that you have posted here shows that you, deep down, really want to make a better life for yourself and you are prepared to put the effort in to make that happen. You are the only person who can give yourself the life you truly want, but it's OK to ask for help when you need it. You are not alone, and you don't have to go through this alone. Maybe start by reflecting on those addictive patterns that you've already recognized, try instead to get regular sleep, get some exercise, spend at least some time outdoors. I won't write any more now because it's late in my timezone and I'm still in the process of teaching myself the discipline to order my life and define my own idea of success. You are strong. You've got this. Just give yourself some time and start trying to develop some healthy habits as a foundation for everything else.
Wait. If he boiled the mushrooms, how did get spores? Does that mean Agaricales spores can survive 100ºC? Yikes.
> What you are asking programmers to do is to both master the fine points of UB (which is impractical) and look into the future to see what changes may be invisibly committed to the compiler code.

I am asking programmers to understand and avoid UB, but I am not asking them to look into the future. Future compilers will still implement the same semantics- that's, again, the point of having a spec!

I don't disagree that avoiding C's UB unaided can be difficult, but that just means the solution is to make it easier- and that's exactly what I suggested above: "precisely define the operations available to the programmer, and then provide tools to help them avoid misuse."

And this isn't a new idea. People have been making progress in this area for a long time: better documentation of the rules, sanitizers, static analyzers, changes to the spec to remove some forms of UB, new languages that reshuffle things to make it harder or impossible to invoke UB, etc.
Is this actually going to help with that though? It sounds like this is just going to force exchanges and businesses to report transfers that are >= $10k to the federal government. In some ways this might make it worse since the federal government will have incomplete information and might audit you because they think you owe taxes when you really don't.

That said, I'd also really like to have clearer guidance around different crypto tax situations. Buying, selling, and transferring are all pretty darn clear to me. Wrapping tokens, staking tokens, merging multiple tokens into one, etc are all extremely unclear and result in inefficient technical solutions right now. It's horribly frustrating.

To give a simple example, I'd love to stake my ETH via a decentralized staking pool. To do so I have to convert my ETH into another token that is convertible back into ETH when I go to withdraw. In theory that might be a taxable event. In my mind it really shouldn't be since it's still ETH, just deposited somewhere.
In the early 2000s, I had to take my Garmin off the windshield and hide it in the trunk every time I parked, otherwise someone would break in and steal it. My car was broken into 3 times. Someone also stole my Microsoft Zune when I forgot to take that in with me.
You're kidding, right?

There are ~200 governments in the world, most of them don't even have digital infrastructure. Not even talking about resubmissions of blurred photos, fraud detection, human mistakes etc.
That's such a privileged thing to say. You most likely don't have a serious illness or generic issue. You also probably eat meat. Most people have no issues sending billions of animals to painful hellish lives on factory farms and slaughterhouses so that they can enjoy a juicy burger. If there was a small chance of curing a disease that caused you pain and suffering every day, in sure you wouldn't hesitate one second before greenlighting any and all testing on primates.
