It is not principally buying money, as such a thing is impossible in a nation with its own fiat currency. Rather, it is creating jobs for their domestic population. The foreign currency reserves are not the objective, employment is the objective. This is true of all export-led-growth strategies. China already has more than enough foreign reserves by any possible measure, and it can't really do much with the reserves it has - it has to sterilize those which creates inflation and forces China to go into massive RMB debt when they sell domestic bonds to sterilize the foreign inflows.

But neither is it buying influence overseas, as these projects are wildly unpopular and result in unsustainable debt burdens and massive amounts of ill-will. If you look at a map, you see most of these projects happening in authoritarian nations or nations where there is a lot of corruption, and what happens is that leaders force their country into unsustainable debt burdens while they themselves get bribed. Then when they leave office, the nation will default and now it will be an enemy of China. It's like China's project to extract resources from Africa -- lots of ill will and anti-Chinese feelings are created from these projects. It certainly does not cause their foreign influence to increase, but it does create jobs for Chinese workers, which is the point. The fact of the matter is that the Chinese construction industry has already built far too many airports and ports that China can use domestically, so as with the manufacturing excess capacity, the excess capacity of the construction sector is being offloaded onto the rest of the world, primarily to third world nations that can't afford these ports, and it is happening at the expense of lots of ill-will.

What would be in China's interest would be shrink its construction industry and try to re-allocate to providing healthcare, senior services, and other services that China's own population needs. The sooner they stop exporting excess capacity in all these industries the better. That would also do much to at least stem the tide of anti-Chinese resentment that is created by these projects in which excess capacity is dumped onto the rest of the world. Don't underestimate the long term damage that these projects are creating all over the world to China's image.

Audacity is designed as an audio editor rather than a DAW. I'd be surprised if a DAW like Ardour had destructive editing, spectral analysis, or sample-level waveform view. From the UI perspective, I don't know if it has the ability to "open" an audio file and turn it into a single-file project, or if you can disable tempo sand best-based timings altogether (since podcasts and such lack a concept of tempo).
I don't think you can do the full device backup on anything but icloud and I agree that should change but your own storage has the same access as google does on ios. You can have your own photos app which automatically uploads everything in the photo roll and can delete photos to keep them in sync with your cloud.
That is not a problem with the drill style per say but toxic teachers and parents. You can make someone drill without tormenting them for failing. I think doing drills is good if done in a supportive setting, but it is also and should not be the only way to teach.
> Of course I don't, it's a neural network. You don't know either. That example I posted could be exactly what it's doing, or not even close.

What is this supposed to mean? We know how neural networks generate things like this very very well.

I personally have built a system that takes pictures of hand drawn mobile app layouts into the NN, then generates a JSON based description file that I compile into a Reactive Native and/or HTML5 layout file.

This was trivially easy in 2018 when I did it. It took me maybe 2 weeks engineering time, and I'm no genius. Our understanding of how transformer-based NNs work has come a long way since then, but even back then it was easy to show how conditioning on different parts of the image would generate different code.
To extend on this - this method is extremely useful at work.

Totally agreed. This is the right way for many problems.

I hide nothing. I believe what I say, I say what I mean, and I mean what I say. I stated that diversity does have a price, but made no statements as to education scores or public health. These problems with diversity do not stem from any one group, they stem from people not understanding the cultural differences that make up society. You're looking for a bogeyman, but I'm not it.

This continued assault of trying to find bigotry behind any minor statements that don't completely align with the progressive globalism agenda only undermines your collective stances.

"My defining characteristic" is something you can't justifiably claim, something I never said or alluded to. Y'all are too much sometimes.
As the movie was filmed in Card’s home state, he was on the production site while writing the novelization. I understand he and the production team cross-pollinated off each other, contributing to both the film and the novelization.
Yes, I’ve read that article. It essentially boils down to the author insinuating that all wealth must be the product of some nefarious scheme and that these people who simply followed the law some how did something wrong. Very biased reporting in my view.

I found the article inspiring. How many people would have the foresight to do what he did and delay gratification by locking up that kind of wealth until the age of 59.
Ask HN: How do you go about choosing a tool?

The Chelsea is a very special place. I was lucky enough to be born and live there for the first chunk of my life. The long term tenants are incredibly interesting people. Though it's known for its artist population, there are all sorts of folks that live there, writers (like my mom), musicians, painters, sculptors, but also psychologists, dentists, designers, architects (like my dad) and entrepreneurs.

My next door neighbor was an excellent painter named Herbert Gentry [1] and his wife Mary Anne Rose. To this day a small globe encased in an epoxy resin cube that I used to play with as a child while visiting him and he subsequently left for me in his will sits on my work desk underneath my monitors. Across the hall were a pair of sisters that lived together and ran their own business designing and selling, quite successfully, bizarre and gaudi sunglasses! I think the HN crowd might really have enjoyed them actually.

Halloween as a kid in the Chelsea was amazing, people would go to incredible lengths when opening the door for the horde of child sized monsters roving the beautiful wide hallways (The same hallways where I learned to roller skate!). I remember one resident that opened the door hanging upside down as Dracula. He was using one of those door frame mounted sit up devices, but the interesting part was he had somehow rigged his cape to fight gravity as well. Fishing line maybe? Stanley was quite the character. He's one of the first people, outside of my family, that I can remember meeting. He was one of the reasons the Chelsea is still so interesting to this day. It was a very different time. The artists could negotiate their rent payments with him and he was used to it. Now I doubt you could get away with that anywhere in Manhattan. It really was kind of like his own little menagerie.

Anyways, really cool place. If you're ever walking by, I'd encourage you to step into the lobby. I'm not sure what it looks like now, but there used to be some pretty visceral sculptures and other pieces of art in there.

I have found an overwhelming amount of "static analysis" (really linting) serves only to pile more stupid busy work onto developers and soak up CI cycles. Who actually (and I mean ACTUALLY) cares if my imports are not in alphabetical order? Who cares (I mean REALLY) if I have ( spaces ) between my brackets and their contents (or not). Stop wasting my time with this nonsense.
> Allow yourself to be unproductive / inefficient in your free time and to enjoy it. Take some time for yourself.

Other than potential physical issues with my body and mind, this is probably my biggest issue. Somehow I've never learned how to relax and how not to min/max everything for productivity. As a child/early teen, I used to despise sleep because it was a "waste of time" and I wasn't being "productive". Now I constantly feel bad if I'm performing at 100%, which results in me feeling terrible after a week of work where I didn't accomplish 90% of what I wanted, but I still blew my management away with what I did (not always, but often).

I think I'm still working through the unstructured period of just stopping work, but I'm hoping that once I start to really settle into this free time, I will learn how to slow down and actually relax. Sit down, read a book, and don't worry about how quickly I'm reading, what projects I should be working, what I have to do later in the day.

For the rest of your comment, I do think I genuinely enjoy my current position and its goals. It's not something with high morals, but it's valuable, OSS (very important to me), and I can have a huge impact in how people interact with computers (kind of my main focus with my work). I have poor relationships with my parents, but I don't communicate with them often, so it's not really a big deal.
You aren't just buying dumb storage though. Its a whole service and tools to utilize the service.

What Apple and Google are selling are different products. A fruit salad is different to what the fruit store sells and receives a higher price.

Its the leaders, not the public, who are the people that China is buying influence with.
Like setting up rules enforcing pull requests to merge to production branch and having all PR needed to be reviewed by at least 2 ppl with no escape mechanism in place..

Great until something goes terrible wrong and some absolute critical bug has to be fixed when you are on-call alone on a weekend.

Never disallow escape hatches. You may not need both your arms in your everyday job or in your life in the ideal case, but keep cool and wait going to the doctor for an amputation just in case.

Nobody here thinks people can do that. I asserted the tip is meaningful even assuming people can't pick winners.

The universe of available stocks contains different companies, with different market capitalizations, and different historical volatilities.

Assuming you can't select the best performing ones, you can still select the ones that are smaller and more volatile.

Do you have an issue with the assertion that owning foreign stocks, mutual funds, ETFs, etc (for a US person) is best done in a taxable account and not an IRA? Or does market efficiency indicate to you that shouldn't matter?
This is certainly an amusing way to think about it. I especially like your note about finding a doctorate; that is likely to help alleviate some of my concerns, and hopefully bring better treatment because of it.
> “Why we should sacrifice our wealth to reduce emissions when capital investment will just flow somewhere that has no carbon tax and the emissions will happen anyways?”

It’s a shame anyone who is skeptical about realities of tax policy changing the climate are labeled “deniers”.

You have perfectly illustrated the right argument. So the question is really, “by what mechanism other than world war are you going to force everyone on to the same tax and credit system”?

Maybe it is import/export and border adjustment, IDK. Interesting idea.

That definition doesn’t align with my experience or perception. Maybe I am wrong. Microsoft definitely sells a suite of tools for creating OLAP Cubes and presenting the data.

What you are describing is just a data warehouse with a reporting tool. There’s dozens of options for building something like that.

A data warehouse is always “OLAP” but it isn’t often a “cube”.
I don't think that is a concern. I had this exact conversation on Reddit a couple days ago. What I wrote:

>The flip side is it's much easier to make up the difference due to the increased economic opportunity in <high cost of living area>. If you can't it's a good incentive to move somewhere cheaper in turn reducing the pressure on housing in <high cost of living area>.

Say I'd like to live in Monaco or Luxembourg. No one owes me that privilege. I can't just demand to get that. Even if I get a job in a grocery store or whatever to legitimise my residency.
No one likes being confined against their will.
You are combining too many things. Focusing on 20 simple with increasing difficult problems builds visual memory, pattern matching which is lacking with a few compounds problems.

The science must be missing some inputs because the current theory is lacking.
I guess I still don’t know what an OLAP Cube is.
They normally can't but sometimes it does just happen.
There was a reason John Wooden is still revered as John Wooden.

I don't care about 3rd party delivery services but it looks like like DoorDash has a website so you can still be their customer.

It looks like their app requires iOS 13 which requires an iPhone 6s or newer (though it can run iOS 14 and will run iOS 15). The iPhone 6 won't run iOS 13, it had five years between its release and the release of an OS it can't run, that still seems like a respectable amount for a phone.

Apple is way better at supporting the longevity of their devices, through build quality and continued OS support, than the Android world is.
Apple has already diversified their cloud usage so the inertia in building and switching to their own cloud may not be that big.

It's not the random posts, it's that the people you follow on Twitter are human (hopefully) and will post about things outside the core reason for following them.

I follow a bunch of sports writers on Twitter to keep up on my favorite teams and fantasy stuff. Invariably, on slow news days, they will post about their kids, cats, the weather, anything other than the teams they cover. I generally don't mind but will unfollow if the balance gets too far out of whack or if they get political in an untenable way.

YMMV as far as where to draw the line between content and fluff.

I've tried "white replacement data" and "white replacement stats" and "white replacement statistics" (without quote marks) with no luck in the last 2 years.

The closest I've found is [1] which is a downvoted comment saying:

> Census data indicate White population has shrunk since 2010

Why is this the first bullet point? Why a focus on White people? Why do you care HN?

The only other place I see stuff like this is when it’s used as an alt-right talking point, or by white-supremacist mass-shooters who write about ‘The Great Replacement’ [1]

So that isn't even arguing against collection of stats. But it's the closest I've been able to find.

Perhaps you are misremembering?

That's definitely helpful. Some different applications support different options to switch context. For example, Helm uses `--kube-context`.
> binary code is the output of an algorithm (the compiler) whose input was the source code.

Just because binary code is produced by the operation of an algorithm on source code doesn’t make all output produced any algorithm on that source code binary code. Otherwise checksums and hashes and prime numbers would be copyrighted.

Chinese companies have focused on RISC-V as an alternative to ARM since the export controls. The thing with their chips is that SDK support is somewhat lacking? This is my conclusion after working with the extremely popular ESP devices.
I think the kind of classic travel writing the article refers to would also appeal to people who want to read about real people having real adventures, usually by themselves. Rather than the fake, seemingly endless "Irritating celebrity jets round the world to gush about how wonderful some place is, that they've spent a couple of hours in, surrounded by a film crew" dross, which passes for 'travelogue' on television, these days.
You were practicing in your sleep.
I understand what you're trying to say but, in this situation you are describing, the "good predictor" is not really your self-identified gender, but whether you were subjected or not to a "male-like" hormone profile during your puberty (either due to endogenous processes or through exogenous means).

A XX person that self-identifies as male and hasn't been subjected to hormone treatments is less likely to display male-like traits (incluiding the hypothetical "higher height" we are discussing about) than a XX person that identifies as female and has been subjected to a "male-like" hormone profile by exogenous means.

Finally, just because "measurable biological differences" may be mediated/caused by differences in hormone levels, rather than differences in genes, doesn't make them any "less true".
If you use copilot and it generates a substantial amount of code, you don't know if that might be a replica of code from another project with an incompatible license. If you are law abiding and/or want to respect open aource licenses, then it is on you to figure out what if any license that code would fall under. Which means copilot would only be useful to developers who don't care about FOSS licenses or only use it for snippets that couldn't possibly be considered original enough to be covered by copyright.
We never even think that the license can also be applied to the code generated by the tool. We do not want users to worry about the license when using our tool, so we will definitely review the terms and make sure the code generated by the tool has no license restrictions. Thanks all for the comments !

The post linked to for this story gives the example of searching for "CEO" only showing white men.

The reason for that is almost entirely the same as your example of biased training data ("taking the prevalence of news reports as a proxy for the prevalence of what's being reported on").

CEOs from large US companies get reported on the most in English language press. Therefore searching in English for "CEO" finds those people.
