Well, it's much easier for Apple to get the optimizations on their hardware, drivers, OS, and web browser to all line up. There are some benefits of the cathedral.

However, I agree with others that there may be an actual bug going on. There are definitely listings in Bugzilla for WebRTC bugs[0], the oldest of which is 7 years old.

You don't have to go far to find someone who doesn't believe climate change will affect them in their lifetime, but I think people are [blissfully] unaware of how fragile and capitalist-driven the West's food market is.

It would only take a couple of failed seasons before our poor starved and we faced massive inflation.

We need to start coming up with fixes, 20 years ago. I fear what's more likely is people clawing onto what they've got by further destroying the planet, as well as excessive hoarding, further strangling supply.

This reminds me of dealing with immigration. I was supposed to get an “alien registration number” when I arrived in the USA on an immigrant via, yet for some reason I did not.

No one would talk to me, not matter how many times I explained for three months. I eventually took to driving to the INS building every single day until they finally gave up and issued me a number within 20 minutes.

Three months of not being allowed to work nor being able to leave the country was frustrating in the extreme.

Anyway, apparently the right way to deal with this is to contact your representative (for me it was a congressman or senator, for this guy their state-level person) and ask them to help.

If they can deny you access to the info because of national security, then "still a sign that they have info" is a solved problem. They "can neither confirm nor deny any the existence of any information matching your request."

This is known as the "Glomar response" and dates back to the 1970s. I believe it hinges on "if the information existed it would be classified," otherwise they would be required to provide the info.

The Pacific Northwest is known for its highly productive dryland farming, relying on natural rainfall patterns instead of irrigation or sprinklers, which also reduces costs. Consequently, there is a relative dearth of infrastructure for distributing piped water to the crops during a severe drought or heatwave.

IMO making toys is the hardest thing of all designs... too long-shot/perspective to cover.. like while some adult may be able to tell what he likes/dislikes about a thing, it not so for kids.. esp. in long run.

it's a blessing that some (physical or not at all) toys still exist without being monetized.. although the trends with everything-being-appz might kill that some day

maybe OT, but some 10+y ago, i passed through few continents and cultures within 3-4 months, and while looking for toys for the kids to bring home from that journey, in plenty of places, i realized something.. the culture/society is somehow representable by what toys it makes for it's kids. Somewhat like the cultural dimensions thing, but in different aspects.. Like shallow vs deep, curiousness vs just-grinding, beautiful vs ugly, well crafted vs cheaply, etc. And funny, Rich/expensive as $$$ doesnot always correspond to richness of toy-experience/perception.
Of course it's rather subjective, YMMV
I think as a corollary it’s important to remember that “A private sector business isn't gonna send thugs with guns” wasn’t always true. Private police pushing people around was common enough in the late 19th and early 20th century. It was laws and government intervention that stopped that.
By all accounts they were not really useful, broke easily, and couldn't be repaired in the field. Many countries backed out of their commitment once they tried out their samples. Those which took delivery ended up not integrating them into curriculum because they didn't deliver on their promise.

It did kickstart the "netbook" form factor, which ended up replacing most OLPC use cases. So not a total failure from a technology standpoint, like Juicero and Theranos were. But it is a bit of a poster child for everything that's wrong with the MIT Media Lab.

I'd say that a less fraught way of putting this is that we have adapted to feast-and-famine since that was the ancestral condition of the species.

So I agree with you that, at least for me, eating less than I want to (or nothing) much of the time, and eating a lot occasionally, feels better than constantly feeding myself more calories (carbs especially!) than I need.

But most people on this site, myself included, don't think we were 'designed' at all.

You wrote: "If I take you at your word that 6000 deaths were caused by 330 million doses given, it still seems like a win."

The smallpox vaccine was believed to directly lead to the death of one person per one million people immunized. That would be 330 deaths per 330 million doses, and the smallpox vaccine is widely considered "the most dangerous vaccine." [1] Smallpox is also a more devastating disease, affecting the young and old alike, and causing death in 30% of those infected. [2]

If it is true that 6000 deaths resulted from 330 million doses administered, would that not cause the Covid vaccine to supplant the smallpox vaccine as the most dangerous vaccine? I'm curious as to your thoughts on this.

Do you really think that local municipalities focus on single use plastic is the reason we haven't solved climate change yet?

Climate change and plastic pollution are two separate issues, but I would be willing to bet that the folks who support plastic pollution legislation are also some of the more fervent supporters of climate change legislation. And at the municipal level, for every plastic ordinance there are probably dozens of ordinances focused on climate change. But solving climate change will likely require global cooperation on a level that the world has never seen before. So you are essentially cherry picking a topic to accuse their supporters of being "performative" just because they haven't yet solved one of the biggest challenges the world has ever faced.

Why would anyone build solar with storage when the same amount of money is a much better investment for pure solar? There is no surplus of power during the day.

Storage to buy cheap energy and sell it back is also a completely separate enterprise. At the moment it looks like lithium iron phosphate batteries will work the best in the near future since they are the cheapest when taking into account the battery life time.
I've got several friends and there are a host of others who disagree and whose works completely disprove your point. A search should easily turn up plenty of results so I'm not taking time to look up sources on this one.
I switched from nVALT to FSNotes, and then to Obsidian. FSNotes was too buggy for me. In particular, I'd go to search for something and somehow after a few characters I was randomly typing in to some saved note. Obsidian has been excellent. I suggest dragging the "magnifying glass" icon to it's own "tab" so it's always visible (something I'm used to with nvALT / FSNotes).

From the article.

> They also lease land to neighboring ranchers, whose grazing cattle aerate the soil with their hooves and add organic matter and nutrients via manure.

Meat can and should be a part of regenerative ag.

I recently visited a family friend's place/farm. A year ago, the soil was the typical cracked dry light tan clay ground that I have in my yard. It's quite typical in Oregon.

This time, the soil was a dark color with tons of organic material and great water retention. This was entirely due to the grazing. They have goats and an alpaca. Ruminants are excellent for soil health, and the meat they produce is also great for human health.
Hah I worked at a startup when I was younger and it was a terrible experience. The owners basically wanted to us to all work endless hours for their financial gain. They always had the excuse that they didn't have a lot of money but at the end they reaped all the financial rewards.

If you are thinking more of being one of the owners of a startup, that might be better advice. Also, don't exploit your employees if you go that route!
It's more about the journey than the destination on most of my side projects. Yes, the end product is meant to be useable by me (hence me expending the effort).

The Americans did it better on their home turf by targeting and banning specific hashtags and I guess location check-ins. They also have an advantage over the Cubans because they nicely outsourced all this to private entities like Facebook/Google/Twitter.

> Defense spending amounted to $714 billion in FY 2020—and is expected to increase to $733 billion in FY 2021.

A soldier whose leg was blown up in Afghanistan and is still in a hospital - is not part of that $714-733 billion. So the US military budget is only that low if your definition of "defense" spending does not cover that.

The reality is the US spends over one trillion a year in military spending.

Your own link says as much. It puts "Veteran's medical care" under the health care entitlement side of the equation, as opposed to the military spending side of the equation.

Who's the target audience for this crap? A bunch of Hacker News-esque weekend projects that get a bunch of PR from Vice, WSJ, Verge, etc. every time they release something. Just seems like a team of copycats stealing hackathon ideas, giving them a slight twist, then calls it art and journalists fall all over themselves for it.

You won't see these publications writing about similar projects on HN, because they're not called "drops" (lol) and doesn't have an edgy site. Maybe I'm just jealous of their success, I just don't think it's noteworthy at all.
Ten years on, was the C++11 memory model (which I've used) a success? Compared to the Linux kernel memory model (which I haven't used)? I heard compilers can't remove dead reads because they can synchronize in rare situations, and sequential consistency was defined in a broken way and later fixed in a standards revision, and memory_order_consume is impossible to correctly implement in a way that's actually more optimized than memory_order_acquire, and the C++ memory model doesn't translate well to GPUs.

Is this better than the state of affairs prior to standardized atomics (which I haven't experienced)? Is it better than Go "defining enough of a memory model to guide programmers and compiler writers" (which I haven't used)? Or informally defining a set of use patterns, and writing optimizations around those use patterns rather than a formal model for what code and what optimizations are permitted (resulting in optimization steps that are only incorrect in combination, like global value numbering causing miscompilations[1][2])?

> the critical detail about [relaxed/unsynchronized] operations is not the memory ordering of the operations themselves but the fact that they have no effect on the synchronization of the rest of the program.

Many people wish C++ memory_order_relaxed had no effect on synchronization and could be optimized like a normal access. It's not. https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/unordered-as-a-solution-to...
The most important thing is not to get the code right but to get the interfaces right. If you do that, you can isolate the ugliness and the inefficiency and fix it all incrementally as needed and as the mood strikes you.

Getting the interfaces right is not easy, but it's a hell of a lot easier than getting everything right.
Be sure it doesn't generate any GPL licensed code down to the size of a single letter, to be safe. The reaction to GPL inspired snippet generation has been more fierce than I could have imagined, even though usable snippets are so short.
Cuba isn't in shambles because it's a developing country, it's in shambles because of it's communistic repressive regime.

Cuba's government sends doctors to other countries for the money while ignoring their own citizens.

Just as Venezuela's collapse was due to Maduro's communistic regime and led to the influx of immigrants to the US, Cuba suffered the same fate since the Castro regime.

Yes people from poverty stricken countries do sometimes flee to richer countries for a better life, but oppressive regimes cause fleeing on a massive scale.

Look at what's causing the poverty. Is it developing and getting better, or is it oppressed by a corrupt government and getting worst.

-- edit for other's saying it's the embargo's fault --

The sanctions are in place because of their human rights violations. We cannot condone their corrupt government.

With truly democratic elections and a capitalistic system they'd allow their citizens to gain wealth without taxing them into poverty and they'd also gain sanction relief because they allowed the freedom to pursue happiness.

Lots of communism apologizing in this thread. Pointing the finger at the embargo like the regime always does, while pointing it away from the human rights violations.

Cuba fell because of communism.

Venezuela fell because of communism.

Both were economic powerhouses in the region before.

Sanctions came after the fact.
DeFi is broadly speaking a decentralized 2008. The leverage and liquidations are IMO part of the reason for the magnitude of the draw-down in the last month, and why there's a lot more room to the downside. There's reasons why we have regulations and laws governing investment. Because without them we had the Great Depression.

I believe the great financial speed-run has hit Mid-1929.

Before the Securities Act, Securities Exchange Act, Regulation S and Regulation T, before the SEC, CFTC and FDIC. A world of unrestricted margin, wildcat banks, hucksters, shills, snake-oil salesmen, and some, I assume, are good people.

Crypto is what the stock market would look like if everyone at the SEC decided to take a few months vacation at once, a financial version of The Purge.

>disguising how Bitcoin has failed at almost everything Nakamoto set out to achieve

Satoshi mined over 1.1M BTC [1], and designed the emission schedule to give majority of holdings to very early adopters (ie. mostly himself). The coin also has no value source at all (not backed by anything, no income generation), the only way to realize a profit on bitcoin is at the expense of someone else's loss.
The name for this economic design is: a ponzi (new variation) and the one reason for a design like that - to become rich at the expense of others.

>Since we’re failing to witness any of this happen, however, the crypto dream is crumbling

Crypto has become less of a ponzi through the years because bitcoin is becoming less and less relevant with each year - transferring, lending and borrowing dollars is the first major use case that isn't fundamentally a ponzi variation. In fact for people in countries with capital controls saving in dollar in defi is probably the single best way to accumulate wealth.

Defi itself as an infrastructure is neutral - it can serve ponzis as well as fundamentally productive use cases (eg. tokenized houses -> defi mortgages), but due to lack of tokenized real assets except for (mostly) dollars, most of activity is related to some new ponzi variation. I think the switch to mostly productive ecosystem is going to happen during this decade - which necessarily requires bitcoin to lose importance to the point that seeing its price on coingecko/cmc requires scrolling.

Potential notwithstanding, the accumulated debt from wealth destruction since 2009 is enormous. Mining alone destroyed wealth equivalent to gdp of a small country, on top of that there's enormous loss of human potential (people playing in crypto instead of doing something actually productive - many very smart) and dangerously big wealth transfer to outright scammers that leverage that to scam even more. I estimate the total cumulative negative impact from crypto (esp. bitcoin) to be in the hundreds of billions of dollars. Even in the optimistic timeline in which defi makes everything significantly more efficient it's going to take a really long time to get back to net zero, and to make it a good investment (compared to other possible investment) - decades.

All of this is sunk cost, so imo banning crypto now would be a mistake, but even as someone who made a fortune from crypto I recently realized that world in 2021 would be a better place if it never existed.

What it supposed to do is when was about to remove resource group, it would still see that other resources are relying to it and not to remove it.
In terms of "understanding the environment around you such that you can land a booster stage," it's not a particularly hard problem. The challenges are about designing a booster stage that can handle the flipping and reentry, then figuring out the details of how to stick the landing with several times your empty weight as your minimum thrust.

"Where am I, and what's between me and my destination?" isn't the hard part, as it is with surface driving.
