Bitcoin is already regulated, with the algorithm that determines the difficulty of successfully calculating a transaction block, and the max number of Bitcoins.

The USD, on the other hand, has no such algorithms, and so in the last year alone the USD was weakened with three trillion new dollars without any backing.

Regulating the USD would be a high priority, but realistically you shouldn't expect that to happen. There's more value, from the perspective of owners of real estate and other assets in letting the USD melt down, create a crash on a scale that has never been seen before and just take whatever you may still own in exchange for some food and water.

Careful framing of the purported “myth” is critical:

> For one, while residents are moving out of state, they are not doing so at "unusual rates." Similarly, the research found no evidence of "millionaire flight" from California and notes that the state continues to attract as much venture capital as all other U.S. states combined, despite the recent exodus of Hewlett-Packard and Oracle.

Who is saying California is unattractive for rich people and venture capital? The people leaving are middle and lower income people.
I just think if you look at human history as a whole the natural equilibrium is authoritarianism.

We have been in this far from equilibrium state of individual liberty and we are drifting back towards equilibrium.

Because of the WW2 generation our education system has probably focused a bit too much on the dangers of Hitler and not enough on the dangers of Maximilien Robespierre.

So you get people out to crush and down vote Republican "Nazis" while chanting Vive la Liberte!

Not to mention up and down voting is just a terrible system and especially in a place like this with people smart enough to use their brain.

Clearly there was a time in the past that the smartest people in the world would have upvoted phlogiston theory at the expense of reality.
There are two classes of systems that go by the name "geothermal".

The article is opining about the deep "High Temp" thermal systems that are found in places like the Geysers field in California, in Iceland, and in New Zealand. Those use heat in a primary way to power heat engines to generate electricity.

You are talking about the other class of geothermal. That class is also known as "ground source heat pumps" for HVAC. Just like a reverse-cycle air-conditioner can heat as well as cool by exchanging heat with the outside air, ground source heat pumps do the same by exchanging heat with relatively shallow underground media. Typically, those have much higher heat capacities than air, which is the competition. Nobody attempts to run heat engines with such Low Temp resources as encountered in ground source heat pump applications...
There are plenty of sites where somebody saying "systemic racism obviously exists" would be downvoted or whatever those sites' equivalents are.

If I went on a right-wing website to promote CRT, is their userbase downvoting me "censorship" as well?

The very sentence you quote clearly says that the overall claim is at least partially true -- indeed, most likely true for the majority of reports in his organization.

So it is completely false to say that it is "completely false".
The answer is already in the comment you responded to.
Cheap tablets use eMMC so they use the exact same storage technology with the same problems.
Schools vary a lot. At some it's very easy not to appear, or be, helpless. At others, nearly impossible. Most of the reason for the difference is who's attending, and the attitudes of their parents. Teachers tend to prefer the easy ones—which are also usually the "good" schools, academically—even at lower pay. The differences in stress level, and in how easy or difficult it is to be, or to seem to be, good at one's job, can be extreme.

> I was under the impression from years ago that they were on the way out / being defunded with some kind of decade-long timescale (in favor of GPS).

There's actually an effort to get more systems in addition to GPS going, as it is a SPoF. eLoran is one option, and has an advantage of actually being in production in other countries already. There are others. The US DoT published a study in January 2021 (PDF):

Not necessarily. With some providers (e.g. Azure), Terraform will fail to recognize automated behind-the-scenes changes and try to revert them, causing serious breakage. This is why the "ignore_changes" meta-argument exists. See https://itnext.io/how-and-when-to-ignore-lifecycle-changes-i...

Well obviously things generally are not static. However I'm afraid you have forget to include scale there.
Consider that a 40 year old today can live 40+ more years. so even 4 extra years with experimental treatments is small relative to potential life expectancy without cancer. 4 years is still optimistic given that stage 4 survival for major cancers instill in the 3-20% range depending on the cancer.

Speaking of the number 4, awesome my comment already at -4, which is the cap.
At this point I'm assuming you are arguing in bad faith. Again, no one is reporting on this. People should be made aware that if the vote happens, they can nag their reps beforehand. But they aren't being made aware.

CLion 2021.2 EAP: Support for GNU Autotools (Autoconf, Automake) Projects
FWIW, an alternative outcome to lowest-common-denominator is what's happened with, for example, alternative Python implementations: there's still a main blessed one, most library authors don't care about whether or not anything works on any of the others, and users who want to avail themselves of the benefits of one of the alternatives (e.g., better runtime performance on PyPy) probably just can't, if the libraries they need aren't supported, unless they go to the effort of adding support themselves.

(This outcome is probably also bad, to be clear, but maybe of less practical consequence to people who continue to use mainline rustc.)

If you are interested in more of the history behind the different cancer treatments that we have today, "The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer" is a fantastic book about it. Probably my favourite book of all time, a lot of parallels with the themes in this article about prevention being a huge contributor, and how recently we've had some success in very targeted cancer drugs.
Business should be booming, if only there were enough workers for the job
The current code sections in monospace font, e.g. in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27773229 , look readable to me. But I don't see many discussions that use code in comments. https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc
The aluminum frame acts as a heatsink for the entire machine - it directly contributes to thermal management.

I don't actually disagree with you. But I also know that a lot of tech in use today was born of our efforts to solve problems in space exploration, so I also don't entirely disagree with the line of reasoning that space exploration requires us to meet such a high bar that inventions that grow out of it end up being essentially trivial to implement here on earth.

I'm personally heavily invested in the pieces of the puzzle that tech, per se, cannot solve. My work in that regard gets little in the way of attention and people have long attacked me as a nutter, etc.

I run a citizen planners forum on Reddit. I try to write about local community development at eclogiselle.com. Sometimes something I wrote gets a few thousand page views, but most of what I write gets very little traffic and that seems to be generally trending down, not up.

And I have mixed feelings about that because I have actively sought to ditch traffic rooted in lurid interest in me, so that's sort of "huzzah. I win? I guess."

I would like to see more focus on passive solar design. I would like to see more development of missing middle housing. I would like to see more walkable, bikable communities where Americans can actually live without a car.

I would like to see social change of the sort that's needed to actually solve these problems with the currently available tech. The problem I see is that tends to require a charismatic leader of the sort that historically founded various religions and I see problems with that approach.

I think it's inherently problematic to just take someone's word for it and do as you are told because they said so and you basically worship them. People need to think for themselves, not dutifully do as they were told.

And I don't know how you put out good info to foster the right kind of change in the amount needed etc and do so in a way that sidesteps the tendency for leaders of any sort to dictate what others should do.

So I have kept my footprint intentionally small in some sense while I figure out best practices. "If you don't have time to do it right the first time, when are you going to find time to do it over?"

Best.

If I upload somebody else's GPL code to GitHub, I also can't grant to GitHub the (implicit) legal rights to use that code in Copilot, because they are not mine to give.

I could previously mirror GPL code, because the GPL granted me the rights I need to grant GitHub as part of their ToS; but if they change their ToS, or if the meaning is changed by them adding vastly different features to their Service, this becomes a problem.
What Is Structured Concurrency?
Part of me reads these things and I'm like "neat trick", but most of the time they more-or-less prove to me that Regex is doomed to a steady and slow decline.

It's just not a particularly good "interface" for the task it is intended to achieve, a little more ability to be "verbose" at the possible price of succinctness I think would go a long way. I'm more-or-less waiting for the "blank" in: "blank" is to Python what Regex is to Perl.

Would you consider the greying out and eventual hiding of comments to be censorship? Because then it's not apparent and obvious that the content is there.
Housing is the real problem. I still live in the neighborhood where I grew up in Southern California. Back when I was a kid, we used to have street gangs, but they’ve all been gentrified out. They’re putting up a new housing complex in my neighborhood, and I learned that I qualify for the affordable housing units on a senior developer salary, because it’s below the median income.

It doesn't. It snaps some pics, sends them back and moves on.
Yup. Regex is not a silver bullet for "match stuff", and it is wrong(ish) tool for following jobs:

- context sensitive matching

- matching with multi-char-exclusions

(regex is happy the most, when it's used to match "regular language" things)
I'm not sure, but I kind of think that was sarcasm.
I wrote this post and that's definitely how I meant it! Our engineers are awesome. I think the word "we" appeared more in earlier drafts and I changed it in a few places because frankly I don't deserve any credit for the majority of incredible work they did.

He should not have done that. In general a Jew is not permitted to ask a non-Jew to do things that are forbidden to him.

Some exceptions are things necessary for normal life, that would be impossible to do in advance. A classic example is lighting a fire for heating (back when that was done with a pile of wood), and minor medical needs. (Major medical needs the Jew would violate the Shabbath and do himself.)

Getting high is not a necessity, and the fridge switch could have been taped before the Shabbath.

I think I see where you're comparing the two, (I think) your claim is that both systemic racism and mass censorship are two nuanced topics that aren't observable directly. Which is (maybe) true.

Where your analogy falls apart is that I can observe systemic racism using impartial statistics. When controlling for variables, there is imbalance that cannot be explained by anything else.

When we look at statistics for right-wing censorship on platforms, they find that this isn't happening[1][2][3][4][5]

I can sympathize with an emotional argument that it feels like it's happening, but when I look at the facts, I can't see any evidence. I can't say that about systemic racism.

I am willing to be convinced though.

If you're a self-interested min-maxing CEO that makes a disastrous or unpopular decision, hiding behind ethics or morality will not (immediately) result in charges of incompetence. This could just as easily be dishonest signalling by the CEO as it could be integrity.

In the current cultural climate, putting political messaging in your products creates an immediate double-bind: you immediately anger part of the total market, but if the messaging is then withdrawn, you anger another part that did want it, with residual anger from the original anti-part of the market (some of which won't return in any case). In this situation, if the pro-political market is bigger, then it's just more rational to stay the course and claim the high ground.
It doesn't matter if they're trying to go for a monopoly play here. Competitors would arise and there wouldn't be any inherent monopoly dynamics left.

So of course the percentage will be cut. That's how competition works.

Yes, and employees that are actively trying to leave (different than passively interviewing for drive-by opportunities) are probably putting in minimum input, maybe less. It's like 3-6mo to fire a software engineer, and its a ton of work. If they don't like it here, let them leave.

If it's true that blockchain assets can be seized by courts, it should be pretty easy to find hundreds of cases of such seizures. We have plenty of documented cases of pickpockets that have been arrested and charged with theft, something that should be very rare because according to you it's nearly impossible to prove that a pickpocket has stolen cash or other random items from a member of the public. And yet how many documented cases do we have of courts having seized blockchain assets? Very, very few. The only one that you mention is not even a seizure, is it? Not to mention USDC is not a normal blockchain asset, being centrally issued, and therefore controlled by a single entity.
Medallions don't come out of thin air. It's the cities that provide them. The cities want this, because taxis are meant to be a component of the city transportation system. They're not there to compete with public transit, they're there to augment it - to service the needs that a bus or a train can't. A medallion comes with a requirement to fulfill those needs, as the city sees fit.

The relationship between public mass transit, and private taxis (and private mass transit) was cooperative. The relationship between city transportation systems and Uber is hostile.

I've been rejected/failed/banned by an emotionless machine a handful of times, and I don't know that anything else has made me feel quite so hopeless. I like to think a similar knot in my stomach keeps me honest.

Thankfully, one of our fundamental incentives as a property management business is to get more quality tenants approved for more apartments. If there are high quality renters qualified to sign a lease and fill a vacancy, mistakenly rejecting them directly impacts a landlord's bottom line. So we're motivated beyond altruism to get this right, which is important.

Along these lines (and perhaps surprisingly, relative to the automation in the post), our income verification product is decidely not fully automated. Non-salaried income reporting can be extremely tricky, and we've run into a number of renters with reliable income on a monthly basis that doesn't fit neatly onto a bi-weekly paystub. In those circumstances, we work with them manually to sort out how we can best present it to landlords on an application.
I don’t think it’s mentioned explicitly anywhere, but Bloomington Indiana is a college town and Indiana University has sought after computer science, informatics, business and public affairs programs.

I don’t know that this is the case, but I’d be surprised if this project didn’t have student involvement (aka cheap labor) that helped justify rolling their own.
"Work" is a bad translation. A better translation would be "creative activity". Fire is a problem not because it's work to light, but because you are creating heat from wood.

No, I don't think so, for the same reason that I don't think it's a violation of free speech or something if I kick someone out of my Discord channel.

In fact, it's better than the Discord channel situation, because HN rankings aren't only not determined by a single moderator (votes reflect the people who are on HN and voting at any given moment), you can also still get to the content and post, it's just not by-default visible or promoted.

It's censorship in the most technical sense of the word, we are technically repressing someone's voice in a community, but the 1st Amendment guarantees communities and individuals a right to censor through their freedom of association, and downvoting and hiding comments is probably one the least extreme examples of that I can think of.

This only becomes a problem with market domination.

It's not a problem that Google puts some search results on the 1st page and some on the 2nd, even though most people don't click through to the 2nd page or even think about the fact that it exists. There's literally no other way to do search. It's only a problem because Google controls 90% of the search market.

I love this somewhat tangentially related article: https://dothemath.ucsd.edu/2012/04/economist-meets-physicist...
That last article says, "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suspects that exposure to THC, as well as a mix of THC, nicotine and vitamin E, an additive in many vape carriages, is causing serious lung injury."

Would you agree that exposure to THC, in itself, causes serious lung injury?

(Yes, I know, vitamin E acetate (an oil) in cannabis vaping products was likely the cause of a number of cases of lung injury.)

Also, "An FDA analysis of e-cigarettes from two leading brands found that the samples contained carcinogens and other hazardous chemicals, including diethylene glycol, which is found in antifreeze." Diethylene glycol is also used as "a humectant for tobacco, cork, printing ink, and glue. It is also a component in brake fluid, lubricants, wallpaper strippers, artificial fog and haze solutions, and heating/cooking fuel" as well as an industrial solvent. This statement is largely meaningless unless you know how much is in there: "The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations allows no more than 0.2% of diethylene glycol in polyethylene glycol when the latter is used as a food additive. The Australian government does not allow DEG as a food additive; it is only allowed at less than 0.25% w/w of DEG as an impurity of polyethylene glycol (PEG) even in toothpaste." (Wikipedia)
Well, of course it can. You just crush a little extra for the fuel you burnt. And an astonishing lot of mining equipment is electric anyways, so just buy "green electricity" and all is good.

Just as a comparison, we do mine, crush and spread mineral-based fertilizer as a normal part of agriculture. That is of course part of the large carbon footprint of agriculture, but not a big one. So this should be doable.

The question I'm rather sceptical about is the areas where one might spread the olivine. How much land it would take, and what the conditions must be. It would be nice if one could just use that olivine instead of gravel in all the parks and on footpaths and stuff.
This seems to imply that in the near future our weather models will become useless, but we won’t know when it has happened. Rohde’s Uncertainty Principle.
