> You denounce anecdotal evidence and then cite it, as evidence for your views.

My explicitly expressed view is “do not base any policy discussion on anecdotes, even the ones I cited.” Recounting the anecdotes only shows that I can pick sufficient anecdotes to support both sides of the argument and as such, basing any reasonable discussion on them is futile.

> What policy should we derive from your friends personal experience? None! Because we should consider all the data and not your friends story.

Exactly.

Did Square get a bank license or is an existing bank being used behind the scene?

If Square did get a bank license - this would be interesting since now they have all kinds of regulatory requirements to meet.
A Visual History of Rickrolling
I have a feeling you’re just trolling for trolling sake.

I’ll only comment on one part of the Wikipedia quote regarding constant densities of atomic nuclei.

The neutron star will have a constant density on any length scale as large as an atomic nucleus. The layered structure manifests over length scales of kilometers, which is 10^18 times larger than an atomic nucleus.
As soon as you need to interface with arbitrary external components, you see the value in good specifications. If JPEG-2000 was just a reference implementation and not a spec, that would work fine if only one team ever had to develop a JPEG library, and every application that read or wrote JPEG files used exactly that one library.

Since that isn't the case, having something sit at a higher level of abstraction than the actual source code is quite valuable. Additionally, it allows domain experts like image scientists and physicists, who are experts in how to compress and decompress data with minimal quality loss but may not be experts in any particular programming language, to still contribute to the spec.
I think it can be summarized as "recklessness" (i.e. jumping the gun without proper understanding of/regard to foundational concepts)
And then prospective gamedevs took this to heart and build a flappy birds clone, ship it and feel they accomplished something. Shipping a game you know is shit wont teach you anything at all! You need to pour your soul into it first, try to work out the kinks and ensure it can be fun to play before shipping, and then see how what you think matches with how players feel about the game.
Yet, looking forward, if Mars and the Moon get colonized, a swarm of satellites would be the quickest way to wire a whole planet, a whole network of planets. That would be the most looking outward humanity has done so far.
Fair point although it seems "reasonable" varies from one platform to another, it doesn't warn out of the box for me but people have reported MSVC gets warnings here.
I hear this a lot and I feel that often people making this statement are being disingenuous. My wife and I are a team, if she is doing something that I don't like then I can ask her to stop, she can do the same for me. An extreme example but if your wife / husband was cheating on you, could you not ask them to stop as they "a human and gets to make their own decisions"? Same thing applies to work, a job can take over your entire life and affect everyone around you. My wife had a terrible job that she hated and I had her quit it, take a massive pay cut and do something else, she is much happier now. People are so much on their high horse of letting everyone do whatever they want but people don't exist in a void, their actions affect everyone around them.

Obviously you should not use violence or force to cause a change but if my wife was working in a profession such as this I would absolutely give an ultimatum of either stop or the kids and I are leaving. Sometime tough love is still love. With that said I don't know OP's situation and they will do whatever they think is best in a situation.
I don't think that's sufficient.

Being mindful and doing nothing is still doing nothing.

You should be doing measurable work, otherwise your minute is gone, and it's just as gone whether you're mindful during that time or not. You still changed nothing, and you can't backtrack to tell if you were doing nothing or being mindful while doing nothing.

> As if millions of people around the world are benefiting from low cost satellite internet.

Do you have any numbers? I don't, but in my country of 11 million people, the dictatorship got scared last week of popular protests and cut out the Internet for everybody. How I wish they didn't have that power.
> If not, please understand the position I'm coming from first.

This doesn't change anything I said. Nor change the fact that your attitude is part of the problem. You are not unique in your point of view, but having that point of view doesn't mean your opinions are immediately valid.

> I do not make this observation as one uninitiated.

But you are. You are just an observer. You are not a SW yourself.

> I write with the weight of a decade of contact with these people

If that's true, then it should come as no surprise that there are more people in your position that disagree with your attitude. Otherwise, you don't know as much as you think you do.

Edit: In fact, I'll say that by using your position to push the narrative that what your wife does is "ugly and violent," you are doing more to support the idea that people should treat those like her in an "ugly and violent" way. If you don't respect what she does, why should others?
Cassandra 4.0 release held back after Apple engineer discovers last-minute bug
APL space stuff sounds pretty good, but they move so slowly that 4 months notice isn't enough. I simply didn't have the time to wait for them.
It has to do with design of the vera Rubin telescope imager. Because it uses CCD instead of CMOS (which has become useful scientifically in the last few decades), it is susceptible to light bloom washing out a whole row of pixels or more. They could’ve adjusted for the possibility of satellite trails (which have been a thing since Sputnik) and taken into account the possibility that satellite constellations would increase over time (after all, there are several LEO constellations in orbit already for over a decade and mega constellations have been proposed since the 1980s and 1990s), but they chose not to. Which is fine, perhaps. Other mitigations are possible.

Look up how entanglement is done experimentally. It will always involve a technology which can be used to classically transmit information at a distance.

What happens in entanglement is that the two entangled objects receive say an entangled photon, it is at this point where the two objects are entangled.

Entanglement is a dance of the statistical limits and position of a particle/object given a specific space/energy configuration (initial condition). From this we know the probability of where it can be, what states it can assume, and the limits of both—given the energy it takes to traverse space and assume those states at once.

They are entangled because once information of the states of one of the entangled objects is measured (mainly by analyzing the exiting photon), we can apodictically discern the state of the other.
This is infuriating. This is why I always comment when I see people talking about KC on HN (guess what? There is a lot. I won't do the research but I'm almost sure that this is the most frequent pathologie people here talk about. Lots of computers, lots of concentration, lots of eye dryness,lots of eye rubbing).

There is more and more evidence to support the fact that KC is purely induced by eye rubbing.

Don't rub your eyes !
This will probably be nuts to follow since HN doesn't have any kind of notification but I appreciate your response.

Heh I have a stack of phones too, I bought an old Windows Lumia device just because I used to really like it despite that all the app APIs are broken on it sadly.

Interesting info about the deployment stuff. Yeah someone pointed out if your app is like a basic to do list probably not going to get added.

There's also the name thing... like I feel pretty confident doing apt install filezilla that I actually get the FTP client.

I thought trowe was moving to harbor east?

My optimism is based on the consistent development in the L and it's expansion outwards. Hopkins medical will soon be connected to harbor east with the Perkins development. Station north continues to fill out. There's also been lots of development in federal hill and locust point.

The murder rate is indeed ridiculously high, but I think it will subside as more development happens in the city as there will be more opportunity available.
Also, the assumption that markets react rationally and that the price wouldn't tank in such case if he actually didn't work there anymore is a pretty bold assumption to make.
> Your idea that this person was 'doing it wrong' is quite a hand-wavy posture to start with, especially as the author finds that such problems have been described by experienced practitioners.

How they handled it and went about it was wrong. Actual experienced practicioners may face those problems (see dukkha nanas / the dark night of the soul), but with proper instructors there are well-known ways of dealing with it.

> The article mentions whom ... the great and the good that attend and throw conferences, those that throw workshops and run retreats

What I was getting at is that <what> is ambiguous. "Mindfulness" is anywhere from jhana, "intensive meditation", etc, to more elements of stoicism. Practicing stoicism has just about nothing that can actively harm anyone or is dangerous. As pointed out in this article's discussion, the author has been conflating terminology which demonstrates a lack of understanding.

> Do you have evidence that the author was not learning from experienced practitioners?

Firstly, problems like the ones described in the article are well-known. Knowledgeable instructors are upfront about them and provide frameworks and guidance for dealing with them, instead of, as per the article, just "suggesting various ways that I might alter my meditation practice to alleviate my symptoms".

This looks to me like a case of the blind leading the blind in a consumerized and repackaged version of meditation that advertises "mindfulness/meditation" as a cure-all for one's problems. There is a reason that Transmission [0] is a thing. Just like even if I practice guitar for 10 years, that doesn't mean I'm actually qualified to teach it or provide useful guidance.

I still can't wrap my head around how little Blue Origin has accomplished in 21 years despite having an earlier start than SpaceX and with Bezos injecting a billion or so into it every year.

SpaceX launches people and cargo to the ISS, just completed the first shell of a nearly worldwide satellite internet network using reused boosters many of which approaching 10 flights, and is a few months out from test launching a fully reusable rocket with twice the thrust of the Saturn V using a novel-full flow staged combustion rocket engine of their own design.

And now Blue Origin is seemingly dragging down ULA with them because of the constantly delays of the BE-4 engine ULA selected for Vulcan.

I just don't understand how Bezos can find this progress acceptable. I want Blue Origin to succeed. Having SpaceX as the only US launch provider is not the future we want.
Eminent-domain doesn't solve the cost problem. You still have to pay for extremely valuable land.
This wouldn't be a problem if "int" was defined as the same size as size_t. The solution is probably to change all those functions to take a parameter of size_t instead of int.

IMHO one should always be using C99 types instead of int, but Linux predates that.

Also, shouldn't that implicit conversion cause a compiler warning?
If you deny any form of transcendence, which is the case in the positivist, technocratic culture of the West, then this is the inevitable conclusion.
It's unfortunate that this had to happen, but the landscape around FTP is increasingly unexamined and part of a dead era. The effort required to build in robust SFTP support as well as convert existing FTP users to it is non-trivial, and not within the charter of a modern web browser.

It's sad, but not surprising.
> as long as they are machined according to spec, and torqued correctly during installation.

Isn't it more correct to say that nobody cares about screws because we have worked out the problems with screws to the point that we can trust they are machined to spec and torqued correctly?
I think it's a bad combo in the US. Since while it is a struggle to build a train track in the US, at the same time, when you own your own land, you still need your neighbors' permission to build anything or even to keep your taco shop open past midnight.

Really it's just anti-development and anti-activity as a whole.
Some "skilled work" intersects with "hard work". There's a ton of work in the construction industry that requires a very high level of specialized knowledge that sometimes takes years of college and practice in their industry to learn, just for example. Even more reason that it's strange that some people find one type of work somehow inherently superior to the other in generalized terms. I tend to think that the skill and care that one puts behind their craft is maybe what should be more important.

It seems amazing to me what the transformer can learn to SOTA levels, not just language but also images, video, code, math and proteins. Replacing so much handmade neural architecture with just one thing that does it all, that was an amazing step forward.
IPFS attempts to solve one set of problems and is pretty good at it. There has certainly been more adoption as NFTs have used them as a storage layer. Also it's not entirely strange to see people start to use Github Actions to publish straight to IPFS as part of their webdev flow.

However, there are other good projects in a similar space. Hypercore protocol being one of them.

While IPFS has pushed ahead in field, I suspect they'll end up being the Netscape of decentralized tech. It's still early days.
On the contrary - the more we focus on technology and treat everything as if it's a machine, the less we understand the true nature of the human mind. That's why the general trend in literature, art and architecture is down instead of up.
CF doesn't cache html by default. You have to add a page rule to do it. If your html being dynamically generated is most of your load (it probably is, even if it's not most of your bandwidth—serving plain files with Apache or Nginx or whatever is incredibly cheap, processor-wise) this means CF doesn't help much unless you tell it to.

> the question of choice, mandates and so on in regards to government imposing choices upon you.

The government isn't imposing these requirements arbitrarily, it's your fellow citizens imposing it through the mechanism of government. For example, Big Government will outlaw and penalise littering not for the sake of it, but because that's what citizens want from their democratically elected government.

And as a citizen who fully supports restrictions in response to a pandemic - IMO the government can't require you to get vaccinated. But you can't demand to be allowed into nightclubs and cruise ships while unvaccinated. Fair?

> And yet, it is still a better option than benevolent dictator, monarchy or some sort of theocracy.

I didn't argue against democracy. I argued against putting the population on a pedestal. It's ok to criticise people's beliefs. And it continues to be ok even if those beliefs are held by a large group of people. If a large group of people think that vaccines cause 5G ... I don't think we should coddle them and think about it from their perspective and accommodate their idiocy just because they have plenty of company. Let's create rules so the damage they do is minimized.
The US government spends Bezos' net worth every 2 weeks and doesn't have their own functioning human space launch system at the moment.

All good points, except Baltimore was/is a heroin town, not a crack town, and The Wire was more like 80s/90s Chicago than Baltimore. Baltimore's drug trade (when I lived there) was run by many little gangs largely made up of childhood friends and just claiming a few blocks as territory. This actually makes it more dangerous, not less. The Corner is accurate, however, probably because Charles Dutton was involved.

That’s not quite correct. There are no good analogies between classical objects like marbles or socks and entanglement.

In fact, Bell’s inequality was stated as a collaboration game that can only succeed if you use entangled particles. No classical object will get you the same results.

You still can’t communicate faster than light but the reason is more subtle. The article does a good job but for a deeper explanation I’d refer to Sean Carrol: https://youtu.be/yZ1KSJbJAng

Progressives seem to me desperate to understand and cater to conservatives

Huh? Do you have any examples of this?

I think you might be generalizing too much what it means to be liberal and don't really understand who is or isn't progressive, even in the context of the US.

It sounds like by liberals, you are referring to the Democratic party at large. You have to understand, the Democratic party at large is barely liberal and nowhere near progressive. Outside of a small number of progressive politicians, they're perfectly fine to waste a majority in DC doing very little because the same corporate interests that back conservatives also back them. They behave like controlled opposition. You can do your part to vote for someone who truly is progressive in a primary election.
More likely the entire www. server is a CMS that fell over, and the application is on a separate subdomain, and they are only monitoring the application.
Regarding dynamic arrays. Right now it looks like I have a way to do nicely namespaced (macro based!) operator overloading for types (it was unclear whether it would be possible with the feature set or not), so with this actually being in the language the need for built-in dynamic arrays is smaller - since you can use the normal foreach on the dynamic type - and so it can be implemented as a library type. (I want to emphasize that operator overloading is not done by functions, but through macros in C3 - so it's different from C++)

Agreed. I think therapy and counseling is under-rated and under-utilized. There are many situations in life where a counselor's help can be beneficial. It's not just for the weak, ill, or for people who have failed. And even the strongest among us have been all three at times.

I know a good number of people in their 30's and 40's that do various types of sex work and I don't think they are deluding themselves about the risks.

But it's easy to forget that most people engaging in this type of work are in their late teens and 20's and though I hate to stereotype, we know that a lot of people in those age ranges are less skilled at assessing risk and thinking longer term.

The solution is probably education and removing stigma.
