If we're talking about general good, I cannot for the life of me imagine why anyone would pick Facebook as "the thing" to disappear. I mean aside from the idealistic candidates like Wars or Guns, what about cigarettes, alcohol or all the other drugs that are widely used, have clear connections to depression and most of which will also literally kill you if overused? I really doubt getting rid of Facebook would do the world more good than any of those candidates. But of cause freedom of choice and let each pick their own poisen etc.
Don’t gamers usually frown upon buying cards previously used for mining? It’s like buying a used car that used to be part of a rental fleet.

I suppose demand is high enough that people will buy whatever they can get though.
You'd have to posit multiple models in the brain. For example, one which simulates the world (call it the "world model"), and one which determines the best actions to take in the world (call it the "policy"). The policy might be overfit even while the world model is not. In dreaming, you are drawing samples from the world model and using them to train the policy.
The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.
Hmmm, that makes me wonder whether it would be better to have a second account to watch those videos with. Then the video view would be tied to an account rather than anonymous through the IP address.

I know. My point was this is the wrong focus, because of what currency is by nature.

Short term volatility is a big disadvantage, while gradual loss in value doesn't matter for something that's not a long term investment.

I owe way more money than I have in cash, as does almost everyone, and my loans being in nominal currency, inflation only helps.
Probably most things. Processed foods, various forms of radiation etc. American Experience had a pretty cool show last season (S32E2)on Dr. Harvey Wiley, an american chemist that could largely be considered the father of the FDA. The amount of stuff put in food is pretty crazy.

The reality is the body is pretty resilient though. Its pretty amazing the amount of abuse it can withstand and still keep on ticking.

> Why are you are reading emotion into this?

I'm reading that you're upset that the conversation has moved on because you're complaining that someone made a comment "out of context" and I disagree.

> if you can’t protect your data, then perhaps you don’t have the right to be in business

I fully agree.

> They didn’t agree. They added a decontextualized statement a bit like the one they were following

I read it as an agreement. I see you don't. You're clearly think it's an out-of-context opinion and I disagree about that.

> And then added a political statement that was a complete non-sequitur to the conversation.

It is, for sure, a political statement. But it's not a non-sequitur. Businesses that are uninsurable are arguably rent-seeking to stay in business.

> Why do you feel the need to defend these statements?

Different people have some very different opinions.

Because I can. Because I'm bored. Because I want to. Because it's not against any rule. Because I think you're wrong. Take your pick. Ultimately, your question here is rather out-of-context, unimportant, and doesn't add anything to the conversation.

Why do you feel the need to attack these statements? Why do you feel it's necessary to claim that an opinion is made out of context and doesn't contribute to the conversation? Why do you continue a long reply chain denying someone who disagrees with you? That's effectively what you've asked me.
Depends. Have any examples of "normal" sharded MySQL databases?

EDIT: To clarify, sharding is not a standard feature included in Community Edition MySQL. Over the years, there have been various Oracle-initiated attempts at providing it as an enterprise scaling strategy through MySQL (NDB) Cluster, MySQL Fabric, etc., but these have either ended up having limited applicability outside very specific use cases and are not widely in use.

Most large MySQL users (e.g. Facebook or YouTube) ended up rolling their own frameworks, like Vitess, which has since been open sourced and adapted to more diverse environments. Until that became more accessible, though, the rest of the world mostly made do with wobbly multi-master setups relying on circular replication, behind some kind of proxy, or had to implement the sharding logic itself into their application code.

FYI: krastanov is sealioning.

There is nothing good about CRT, it's a plot to tear down society and rebuild it under the control of US Marxists.

The significance of the discussion around the phrase "white supremacy" is that is has been re-defined from referring to the KKK to now mean "all white people."

@krastanov: can you state what your Marxist affiliation is so that HN readers can understand your obvious bias?
There is software that does the same thing.

Additionally there are USB sticks that register as a mouse and just slightly move the mouse continuously.

Lastly, almost any microcontroller that can act as a HID can do this with the right program.

All of these don't require a battery and can be much cheaper.

From the article. Sorta gets at what you're asking.
There's nothing contradictory about using teleological language to describe evolution. Evolution is an algorithm that maximizes fitness in a changing environment over time. It does things "in order to" maximize fitness in the same way that you or a robot might do things "in order to" maximize utility.

> Aluminum ion batteries are not actually any better than lithium ion.

This one is. Cheaper, safer, better power density, long cycle life. It has a wide temperature tolerance so may not need much temperature management when in an EV battery pack:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaeltaylor/2021/05/13/ev-ran...

Their batteries are at 1.7 volts currently. They say they can achieve the same voltages as current lithium-ion batteries to be a direct replacement for them.

> We have existing lithium ion cell chemistries that allow 350-500 mile electric car range

Few EVs achieve that. Why? Because the batteries cost too much and weigh too much leading to a more expensive vehicle. Not everyone is going to buy a Lucid Air:

https://www.lucidmotors.com/

We need cheaper batteries, like this aluminium-ion battery.
I guess we have to wait for libraries like USB stack written in Rust.... and not to mention LLVM support for embedded devices, yes?

Not really sure, though. I'm a mobile dev, and not an embedded dev :D
I distinctly remember reading an article in a scientific magazine promising the marvels of quantum computing in 95. Let's just say some progress since then certainly exists but it is quite not commensurate to the progress made on traditional computers. I'll not be surprised if we still talk about a "nascent field" in 50 years. (After all some still consider today programming to be so young that we don't really know how to do it - and at the risk of going on a tagent I find it ironical that traditionnal hw computer designers seem to have meanwhile master their own nascent discipline well enough)
The fanboy mentality surrounding this site kind of rubs me the wrong way. Why is putting the "skip" option in a blue box marked wrong? Why are square boxes marked wrong? I get the feeling that the creator of the site thinks that if a website doesn't look like the iOS interface then it automatically looks bad.

I hope most people that are in charge of web design disagree with the premise surrounding this site. There shouldn't be a "correctly" or "incorrectly" designed site. It's like declaring Renoir is better than Monet. They are both amazing, and in the end there is no objective foundation to claim such a thing.
I don't mean to be rude, but this is like a child's solution. Keeping a system awake is a software issue. Nobody needs to buy hardware and waste batteries for this.

I think if I had to summarize, voters will vote to give themselves choices (however harmful) - whilst patting themselves on the back for voting to restrict others for their own protection.
I hope they come with support for more than one external screen.
> You keep talking about good math pedagogical practice without talking about its relation to white supremacy.

On the contrary, the first thing I said is that one of the first of the five documents says that "teachers should be aware of their implicit biases". Do I need to specifically use the words "white supremacy". Yeah, "white supremacy" is one of the most common vehicle for racism in the US (this seemed pretty obvious).

Here, in a single sentence, just repeating what my previous comments say: "these documents list non-controversial pedagogical best practices that just happen to be more important when dealing with people who have suffered from institutionalized racism (frequently described with the words white supremacy)".

> Are you interested in talking about the ways in which the outlined pedagogical practices relate to white supremacy?

My whole point is that these practices are great independently of whether you live in a country where any form of racism or segragation exists or if you live in a small homogenic country that does not have these problem. It just happens that they are even more important in the former case.

> when asked about how asians and indian americans fit into the discussion, your reply is that the bigotry they've faced is far more tolerable?

I have made no such claim!? Different groups have faced different challenges and that leads to different societal problems. Seems silly to start a misery Olympics and discuss which of the terrible things are more terrible.
These theories are fun, but has it been shown that dreaming is an essential part of the function of sleep? If you could suppress dreaming but maintain sleep, would organisms still get the same benefit? Maybe what is required is simply a period of inactivity, and dreams are the effect of white noise cascading through the brain during that period.
What’s the reasoning why Notion doesn’t have partial text selection across blocks? I originally thought it was an issue with each block being it’s separate contenteditable, but if you wrap all of the contenteditable blocks in another contenteditable div, partial text selection works (at least on Chrome).

C/C++ is the most common IME, but Rust is coming along nicely.

I'm working on a commercial firmware for ATSAMD21 using Rust, and have been finding it quite a nice experience. The tooling is great, PACs and HALs are at least as good as the last time I used the Atmel-provided ones, it's really nice being able to just add a line to Cargo.toml to bring in a library rather than cribbing from a prior project or writing my own.

That said, the Rust HAL for SAMD21 is certainly not complete; I'm working from a forked version of it, and have issued a few PRs to extend/fix it and other libraries. There are a few areas, DMA in particular, where the community hasn't quite decided on the right approach.

Thanks Nvidia. Not even 6 hours and already all the RTX 3070 computers (of which I was planning to buy one this week) are already sold out just about everywhere, as people are panic buying computers with these cards. Probably going to have to wait months before I have a chance at one of these as a gaming PC again.
This is an armchair analysis but I feel like an ECS architecture here would really take this to the next level (flexibility and performance wise). But that is just my two cents.

>Or if anime references don't work... 40 year old virgin movies or whatever.

Are you saying that movie doesn't stigmatize male virginity? From its wikipedia page:

>The film was criticized by Harry Forbes of Catholic News Service for promoting "the false premise that there's something intrinsically wrong with an unmarried man being sexually inexperienced,"[41] and by political columnist Cal Thomas for being an example of societal decline in regards to "self-control or what was once known as purity."[42]

Compressed liquid systems don't explode so much, they tend to be way less catastrophic as they are a liquid. (The burst, or they spray out fluid)

By the logic of that article asymmetric cryptography doesn't, because the value equal to what's protected by the key is magically wasted somewhere. Of course, that isn't true, because it's not possible to break asymmetric cryptography by brute force with expenditure equal to whatever is protected. Same applies to PoS.

It's maliciously created nonsense, which is most visible when he slyly equates locked tokens to wasted glucose. Wasted glucose is _real_ energy, while locked tokens are inherently worthless patterns of bits. Locking them is just a _trick_ to convince people to cooperate with each other - a game theory setting where everyone finds it most beneficial to cooperate.
The whole point of the economy is to manipulate real resources - various forms of matter and energy [1] and locking tokens is just a different way of social organization. "Liquidity" (of digital tokens) isn't a real resource. "Money" isn't a real resource. If there's less _real_ energy wasted, the new social organization system is more efficient. That's the objective metric underneath it all, and clearly PoS is a more efficient way of organizing massive human cooperation than PoW.

[1] theoretically matter is a different form of energy, but at the current technological level they are separate inputs to the human economy, except for nuclear power

Possibly there's more out there, but the evidence presented in the article is frankly pretty poor. I'd call it "inconclusive" if they asked me.

A couple of studies referenced

https://news.uark.edu/articles/55480/increased-social-media-...

This one is not limited to Facebook it includes reddit on the list of "social media" sites. I think reddit's one of the most depressing places on the internet so I wouldn't be quick to point the finger at FB here.

This study looks at all screen time including playing video games and watching TV. It's not very useful for making a case against Facebook

You misread my point. In fact, the article suggests they don't even need to prove that you know you are paying someone on the sanction list.

> In a pair of advisories, the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control and its Financial Crimes Enforcement Network warned that facilitators could be prosecuted even if they or the victims did not know that the hackers demanding the ransom were subject to U.S. sanctions.

Indeed, that means it is legally dangerous to pay anyone whose identity you don't know. That is what I'm saying, yes.

I don't get it. Are GPUs still profitable for mining anything? Hasn't the industry shifted to ASICs for many years now?

I doubt any serious miners are buying up all the GPU stock. The shortage looks more like an effect of rampant scalping which we see with other electronics as well (PS5), and the general chip shortage impacting the supply chain.

A cynic might think they're selling off low quality components with a marketing spin that they're actually helping consumers. With the current insane market prices, any attempt to meet the demand sounds like a great profit opportunity. A cynic might think that, but not me. :) Just take my money, Nvidia.
I’m fairly confident the parent commenter is just an idiot and misunderstood the “4% YoY” inflation from the latest quarterly report as MoM and is adding a couple extra percentage points because that’s just what inflation truthers do. 5% MoM inflation is a doubling of prices in all categories every 14 months, which is obviously not happening.

Inflation-protected treasuries are trading with about a 2.5% premium in yield. So if you can buy bonds, and sell inflation-protected bonds, you can make money if the inflation rate is below that.
"Are you interested in talking about the ways in which the outlined pedagogical practices relate to white supremacy?"

Well that's just it - please do tell us how 'Math is White Supremacy' - because there is no rational or scientific evidence provided, and without evidence, it seems like radical, ideological, racist, offensive and likely very counterproductive.

Teaching can always be improved, even in ways that are adaptive to different groups, but there's nothing offered here that's material in that way.
