I am in the US and I feel like most people have unlimited data. I am atypical and have Google Fi so I pay 10 dollars per gb. So 1.39mb would be $0.0139 for me. Are Canadians really paying 10x my rate?

You don't think there's kin selection value in making any animal that eats you trip balls and/or freak out? In the wild I'd imagine any herbivore that spends six hours wandering around hallucinating and responding erratically if at all to outside stimuli will get eaten pretty quickly.

I am happy everyday. It's far from fleeting. I don't have, nor am I going to have children. Maybe we understand "happiness" differently?

Out of the countries listed, I only have recent experience with the U.S. It says $0.09 for 1.39MB using "the least expensive plan with a minimum data allowance of 500MB over a minimum of 30 days". That works out to $30.6-$34.2 for a 500MB plan. I'd say the pricing data is several years out of date.

As far as I can tell, simply watching news is enough to get entangled with the loonies.
Really nice reading ! Not ashamed to admit I didn't understand everything and didn't reach the end (to my defense: not living in the US, not a us citizen).

But considering taxes can change from year to year, all this work and research has to be redone every few years, right ?
They're going to have to implement this sooner or later if they want to remain relevant. More and more happens in the browser, regardless of whether they like it or not.
I said:

> Why don't you quote his article and then the wikipedia "interpretation" that is "very biased"? Let's take concrete examples.

That's a request for concrete examples. Regardless, why don't you provide concrete examples of the liberal bias in those articles to back up your claims?

When did HN become worse than reddit?
A more representative figure would be to look at the typical data plans actual citizens of those countries have.

Eg. Ask 100 citizens how many gb's they have and how much they pay. Calculate cost per gb for each. Take median.

We can dismiss this easily.

Fungi and plants were treated in the same category some thousand years ago, but times changed and now are categorized by biologists as new and very different creatures deserving its entire kingdom. The old concept of 'plants' has split into several unrelated lineages.

Fungi have a easily recognizable and unique cell structure than neither animals, nor plants have, so can't be the origin of our brains.
I haven’t tested, but I believe it won’t work, at least by USB – WSL doesn’t have USB pass-through.
It seems that you can currently exchange $20M of USDC (Coinbase USD stablecoin) to Ethereum, or visa-versa, on Uniswap, with only ~3% slippage off the spot price.

I'm not sure if this is impressive, but the US government must be glad that USDC is controlled by an American company (Coinbase) and an Irish one (Circle).
I have to work with that daily, and yeah, it drives me insane.
I have heard this argument and the counter is that Australia has low population density like Canada and significantly lower costs. It all comes down to competition. We Canadians love our oligopolies!
Look up the share of health care spending that goes to doctors. It’s maybe 6-10% of overall costs. (Often reported as share that goes to “doctors and clinics” ~20% which includes salaries of nurses & other workers, etc) Biggest share goes to hospitals.
Probably - I don't know which is the largest by marketshare but just tried a couple big enough I've heard of (I'm British) - Bell starts at $80, ok for 30GB sure, but still that's an insane starting point to me; Rogers also starts at $80, for 15GB or currently 30GB on offer.

How many people even need that much? In the UK I would guess most people are on 1-3GB plans; these cost <£10pcm.

Edit: or maybe I'm horribly out of touch? In the age of TikChat and Snapstagram, maybe most people (shudders) need 'unlimited'/lots more than that?
FYI: the final Target SF location, Stonestown, with normal closing hours (9 pm or 10 pm) just adopted 6 pm closures too.

They also have 3x the security at self-serve registers, one per row, compared to maybe one total before.
I often find myself really liking the idea of local democracy and wishing for more of it where I live, but then I remember the kind of insane moral puritans with nothing better to do that get attacted to local politics like flies to rubbish tips! My country has a very authoritarian instinct among many in society to ban anything that doesn't neatly fit into their beige conventionality, and as bad as our heavily centralised government can be at least it keeps a muzzle on those sorts of people to an extent.
> https://www.reddit.com weighs 1.39MB.

Google Fi (in the US, at least) is $10/GB. So 1000mb is $10, or $.01 per mb. It'd be only $.0139 on Fi.

That's quite a huge difference. The chart even says that US data would be $.09 which is still hugely different.

It claims to use the cheapest plan from the dominant carrier in the country. That doesn't mean that everyone is getting screwed like this, just most people.

They say they get the prices from ITU, but I don't know where on ITU they found that data, but I feel like maybe something is being used wrong.
Can anyone comment on why San Francisco’s debate became so nasty? Is it just re-trenching the tech vs. long-term tenant fight? Or is there a new dynamic?

We just got through this debate in New York City through our mayoral primary. Neither “side” won. But the process has so far produced two lead candidates who acknowledge the problem, pledged to focus on public safety and at the same time be mindful of the racial inequities of the NYPD’s recent past.

That compromise doesn’t exist in SF. The political space for it to exist doesn’t exist. There is a refusal to admit the problem on one hand. And a vilification of the incumbents as idiots, or worse, in bed with the criminals, on the other.
For an answer to that question please read the article. I mean, you're here dumping all sort of denialist posts but you didn't even bother to read the article that lays out all the facts and findings?
Software is a gas, and our containers keep getting bigger.
I felt quite old recently when someone at work recommended a Vax carpet cleaner and I mentioned that my first email account was on a Vax... and they had no idea what I was talking about. Had never heard of the platform, or of DEC.
> Qigong is its own thing

Qigong exercises are very much like guided meditation, almost like kata in martial arts. You can gain the benefits of Qigong as meditation without buying into the energy work as anything other than a metaphor.
This is largely eliminated. Koodo tried to reinstate it this year and there was a backlash. Though Telus still has landline plans in BC that have long distance costs outside of your city!
In Poland we have 4 big telecoms and they compete like crazy with each other. I can't see why having 3 would be any different.
In the US, even plans with limited data seem to just cap you at 64kbps when you go over the limit. Thats still very usable for messaging people.

In most of the rest of the world, when you run out of data the only website you can access is your bank to make another payment to the phone company...
Show HN: Business news made easy with a side of knowledge
Hello everyone,

I would like to share my startup that just launched last week called Over Easy News. We are all about delivering easy to read business news that also educates you about it. There may be some people who don't read the business news because its too boring, difficult to read, or don't understand it. We are changing that. We also strive to make it very fun and engaging.

We are a business newsletter that drops in your inbox every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. We also upload all past newsletter on our website.

We went from idea to MVP in less than a week. I brought it to my wife and asked her what do you like more news or education? She choose education and I responded, "ehhhh... I like news better." Sure enough later that night at work it hit me, "why don't I just do both!" And so that's what I did. I quickly builded the site couple days later and got it up and running. Articles are being written almost everyday now by me and its going great.

Feel free to check us out, subscribe , and also share any feedback! It would be appreciated.

> It's not harmful to watch Alex Jones videos, lizard people videos, deep state conspiracy videos. This premise should be rejected outright.

That's an open question - whether conspiracy videos have a negative effect. Given the current state of research in psychology, political science and communication research, it seems plausible that they do have a negative effect, albeit a small one.

The defining feature of conspiracy theories is mistrust in state institutions and elites. Such attitudes - while legally protected - can lead to people rejecting sensible and helpful behavior, including vaccinations [1].

So given the current state of research, I do not think the premise should be rejected outright.

That was just one easy example that came to mind, since there is specifically a federal program that exists to get doctors to go where they do not want to be. Obviously, nurses/janitors/hospital management will want more/less to live in certain areas, and maybe that is offset by lower land costs, utility costs, legal costs depending on state's laws and courts, and there is a whole host of factors that can cause differences between two places.
Wait, you didn't check the source code?
Thanks for pointing this out, I should have been more precise. I was referring to time invariant equations. You are right that this doesn't apply to the wave operator (which also does not commute with rotations in R^4). But in space only, yes polynomial means polynomial with constant coefficients.

The proof basically goes that commuting with translations implies immediately that L has constant coefficients. Then on the Fourier side applying L translates to multiplying by a polynomial, and commuting with rotations translates to the claim that that polynomial is rotation invariant. And every rotation invariant polynomial in several variables is p(|x|^2) for some polynomial p in on variable. Then on the spacial side p(|x|^2) translates to L = p(laplacian).

> You're not a piece of software, so the areas of copyright law that are applicable are completely different. (And yes, copyright does acknowledge a minimal amount required to be copyrightable - but that minimal amount may sometimes be argued to be a single line.)

Putting aside the philosophical aspects of this statement, you proved my point. I said that the ultimate person held liable for violating a license is not a tool, but the person choosing to integrate suggested changes by the tool. But now somehow you expect me to believe that the person that built an automaton, but is not directing the automaton, and certainly doesn't have final say in whether or not to incorporate the automaton's suggestions is at legally culpable, because they're being held to a stricter standard? If that was legal standard with any tool, then literally every manufacturer of every tool would be held liable for any and all misuse. Obviously, this is not the case.

> Legally speaking, Copilot isn't advertised with multiple available language models. It isn't presented that way, so it won't be treated that way. It will be treated as a singular piece of software.

Actually speaking, you're not a lawyer, and that this is INCREDIBLY controversial statement, that doesn't really standup to much scrutiny, since there is a bright line that separating the two.

Even if Github was ruled against (and they won't be), case law is filled with examples where the injunctive relief is limited to claims presented (in this case source related to a specific a work) rather than the entire system including playback device and the recording.

Due to its history and immigration, the US is much larger in population and size and more geologically, philosophically, and demographically more diverse than most countries. One size does not fit all if one is seeking a stable long lasting democracy.
Nah, I think Homestuck is basically over at this point, too many former fans and fan creators seem to be incredibly burnt out by all the recent drama.

I think Hussie should release Homestuck as public domain at this point, it seems to be the only way for him to redeem himself as an artist, after all the accusations towards his mismanagement of his workers.
Reproduction is shifting. People are moving from wanting biological children towards ideological children, it's much more effective as a form of reproduction, not genetic material but ideas.

This concept is not new to the oldest tradition there is: the Jewish tradition...there is a specific word for it if I remember correctly

I am not Jewish but Dr. Brian Keating always stresses this point when he interviews people on his podcast "Into the Impossible" so I became acquainted with it.

Problem is that it's a prisoner dilemma/tragedy of the commons.

If everybody opts to have ideological children there won't be any biological children left to absorb such ideological content, we are far from this scenario, at least on a global basis though
> that they have read before

I think there's a problem here...
Indeed. Compare to https://teddit.net (no-js reddit front end), and you can see the vast difference in bandwidth and performance.

Some of the cause of all this has to do with market forces and prioritizing speed of development over customer experience. But I don't think that's the whole story.
Considering that catalytic converters are routinely stolen from cars in car parks in places like the UK, I wouldn't feel confident installing expensive catalysts in the places where this would be needed.
I don't actually disagree with that. My problem is in structuring these contract awards such that the only companies that can compete for them are those that offer a whole bunch of managed services, and then charge more for basic "turn on a VM" because of it, but then all we get to do is turn on a VM. If all we need is someone to host servers, award a contract to just host servers and be done with it. This is effectively what the NRO's AUE is. That was my wife's old program. But they're forcing everybody to leave that unless they can prove they need some kind of hardware Amazon doesn't provide and use the CIA's C2S instead, even if all you're ever going to use is VMs.
In this case, I think they have an established status quo, with different providers being the clear winner in certain markets, so they don't compete directly. At least, not very much.

> As an European, so much of what has been described here is mind-boggling at best. WTF why does America have different sales taxes between counties? Why are "dry counties" even a thing? And why do healthcare costs differ so wildly?

The United States is a big place. We have a similar landmass to all of Europe. The GDP of the state of California is almost as big as the GDP of Germany.

It makes more sense when you think of the United States as, literally, a collection of states that have significant leeway in how they operate their affairs. Even individual counties can vary widely in their culture and governance practices.

Dry counties are rare and usually associated with a highly religious population that chooses to live somewhere without alcohol sales. Generally these locations are not far from counties that allow liquor sales so purchasing alcohol is a matter of driving a short distance. However, most of the people who live there deliberately choose the location because they have no interest in alcohol so it’s not really an issue for them.
You have a point, obviously - but I wouldn't be surprised if mushrooms actually heighten awareness and response in animals and some people. Mushrooms tend to fog the mind only with regard to emotional responses. But other than that it seems one acts mostly pretty rational - only the perception seems to be changed. I took enough psilos and LSD to lose control of my ego and experience amnesia but from all I can say I never really acted irrational. Some tribes take psychedelics before hunting also.
Hi,

Congrats on the launch. Very happy to see an European startup that is mission-driven. Quite refreshing. Best of luck in making it.
I am in data science so my views come from that perspective. Could be that I am a bit jaded that I am automated away ;)

Here is my feedback from harshest to less harsh. You buy people in the first 30 seconds. I was bought on the idea but the implementation is not good at all.

1. The IDE is completely useless on Linux with Ryzen 4700U, 16 Gigs of RAM and no GPU. Super laggy. Text input does not work and Ctrl+V does nothing when I tried to paste a link to the iris CSV file. Very bad first impression, and that one is the most important. This was latest appimage downloaded from GitHub. Maybe it is the issue with AppImages. Not sure. If you provide an AUR package sometime in the future I might revisit and test again.

2. Speaking of first impressions, the initial empty pane is a bit scary and having links to help/docs, some template projects etc would also make for a better first impression as emptiness is not pleasant. Some keyboard shortcuts cheat sheet like GNOME Apps have would be very useful as well.

3. Why no support for Julia language given that Data Science is your main focus? Does anyone in Data Science use Kotlin or you are targeting because it is low hanging fruit for the JVM along with Scala? Are you also targeting android development as a goal? Unclear from the website.

4. Why would anyone non-technical use this tool over RapidMiner which feels much more user friendly with Drag-Drop widgets (does Enso have a "widget" library pane or only the autocompletions?). RapidMiner also has nicer notion of data sources than the pop-up menu. Actually why would anyone happy with Excel (and shudders VBA) move away to Enso? The tool sounds cool but business people doing Excel are not cool but super conservative and sloooooow. I hope you shake things up there at least a bit. VBA needs to die.

5. Conversely why would anyone technical use Enso over jupyter notebooks and ipywidgets or bokeh? It feels like an overkill for simple tasks where notebooks shine.
Haitian president shot dead at home overnight, interim PM says

No. It's just utter bullshit due to a lack of competition. The province with the cheapest rates for wireless is not dense, population rich Ontario. It's one of the least dense, least populus. Why? Oh, because they have an extra wireless competitor in the form of a Crown Corp.

Other countries like Australia have similar densities and infrastructure costs yet still have way lower prices. The Canadian telecom industry is sheltered and there's really only 3 big players. Foreign competition isn't allowed so there's no possibility of Verizon or Vodafone coming in and shaking things up.
It's even worse, C is “portable” PDP-11 assembly. It has been a few decades that a C program is only distantly related to the assembly the compiler will generate.
Anti-radicalisation scheme has 'staggeringly high' number of people with autism
How is that at all comparable to this situation? That is putting in toxic ingredients that the buyer is not informed about. That's false advertising, fraud and criminal negligence. This is a company offering a game with terms of services clearly spelled out to you, with you free to accept or reject their offer with full knowledge of what they are offering.

>>A collection of people not providing you with food on your terms is not a violation of your rights right?

It is not a violation of my rights, but what you described is not that. That would be like if food providers all decided to offer food that is slightly poisoned, and disclosed that the food had been slightly poisoned. You would then have a choice to either take your chances on producing your own food, or taking their poisoned food.
Commenting so that I can come back to this later.

In my experience it is better to measure the number of shrooms you are taking as the max. dose per shroom is pretty consistent vs. measuring the total weight.
