I interpreted that $5000 "average monthly payment" as what the average performer took home, rather than what the average paying viewer paid.
Ok, fine. First define "normal", then answer the question of "normal according to who".

If it was just that simple, you wouldn't have entire industries (self help seminars, retreats, religious cults of all kinds, pop psychology, and so forth) built on looking for an alternative.

I believe a lot of people are doing meditation in a similar way as they would do a workout session and it simply doesn't work. It's supposed to be your time off and enjoyable. I've seen a lot of starters that are extremely focused on doing at least 30 mins a day, and it's just incredibly hard. Start small, start with whatever you're confortable with, it could be a minute for all it's worth and increase progressively but make sure that that minute is mindful.

Conversely, the generous olive branch of free hosting is not a blank check that allows GitHub to use the hosted code for any purpose, especially when that purpose wasn't made clear as part of the terms of the original free hosting offer.

When I uploaded my code to GitHub, it was done so with the understanding that in exchange for the hosting and bandwidth, GitHub was permitted to use the code in a set of limited ways, as spelled out in their terms of service. I understood that I was contributing to building and establishing GitHub's brand as the go-to place for open source collaboration, a brand which they have undoubtedly benefited from.

With Copilot, GitHub has extended that use in a way that was not made clear during that initial contract. Regardless of the legality of this change, it's normal and expected for some users to be "offended". This isn't "being entitled", but a legitimate response to what many perceive as a violation of the norms of this industry.

That doesn't even get to the ambiguous legal questions involved, particularly with licenses that go beyond the typical MIT/GPL licenses. Based on GitHub's statements, it sounds like any public repo was fair game. What does this mean in the context of AGPL and other more restrictive licenses?

Nationalism is a new concept invented by the French. You can't say about Greece that it is/was a nation. The nationalization of Greece's city-states represents a Greek tragedy, one that culminated in economic collapse. People focus on their group and they think that the same rules apply globally, which isn't the case.
Relevant Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/billmarczak/status/1416817352549625858
I've been helping one of my kids with some online high school classes, and we just read through the course material together and work the problems. Despite my having taken those subjects before, all of the material is new to me. I have no memory of learning that stuff in high school, despite graduating with AP classes.

It's nice because I get to learn new things, so I'd recommend that rather than teaching yourself before teaching your child that instead you just learn the material together. If you point out the stuff that is confusing to you and how you find the answer then your kids can learn that process as well.

And I can never remember the formulas for sin, cos, and tangent either so I just keep a graphics book handy.
The whole point of international law is that countries choose to commit to following the same laws. There's no point signing any treaty if you're not planning on actually applying its legislation.

If people they don't like the laws they've committed themselves to, they can choose not to follow them anymore. However, the advantages they receive in return, in this case the freedoms and economic benefits of being in the EU, will also disappear if they decide to play by their own rules. With the massive benefits Poland has gotten from the EU, I don't think it's in their interest to leave, especially since it doesn't have the negotiating power the UK had (and Brexit has been a series of catastrophes nonetheless).

Nobody is forcing these people to follow foreign laws, it's just that they want the benefits without doing anything in return. The EU is not just a trade bloc, it's an institution to create a shared European ideal. They may not like the deal, but they're free to refuse it and negotiate a better one.

> What do they mean by "introduce sustainable vehicles practically"

For example, this vehicle will be part of Toyota's Welcab line that offers factory-installed conversions that makes driving accessible to people in wheelchairs. Including a device that will lift your wheelchair up and store it on top of the car while in motion (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:The_rearview_of_Toyo...).

Tesla by comparison leaves this up to aftermarket accessory designers to figure out.

They are truly thinking about the "how does everyone drive an electric vehicle" problem.
Economic alliances have never been a particularly good way of forming tribal allegiances.

Belonging to a trading bloc doesnt make you actually care about the other group.

Also, replacing "French" nationality with "EU nationality" doesnt get rid of nationalism it just scopes it at a larger level. There exist "EU nationalists" and to be honest, I find them as annoying as any other kind of nationalist.
4000 hours of meditation practice is a lot.

But hey, "sex work is work"! We're not going to solve anything with that kind of simplistic catchphrase that mask all the problems regarding this sort of activity. That has never helped and it's frankly flat out false. Prostitution or porn isn't just work for the majority of the women involved in that 'industry' that victimizes them.

Because they are an EU member, which comes with certain obligations and values.

If you don't want that part of the deal, you shouldn't get the money either.
You are a brain damaged idiot, kill yourself before you procreate.
Because any country that joins the EU agrees with the European Union Treaties in a legally binding way, and among other things these guarantee certain minimal democratic standards and human rights in the European Convention on Human Rights. The government of a country cannot just pick those parts of signed and ratified treaties they happen to like at one time or another and reap the benefits of membership without also fulfilling corresponding requirements and duties.

They would have to leave the EU first, which they are free to do at any time. Of course, then they would also not get any membership benefits.

I personally had intense experiences pretty quickly but didn’t overdo it after. I (now) have a healthy respect of psychedelic experiences.

As another commenter said, don’t overdo things.

Edit: whether you get more intense experiences likely is some function of how stable and sensitive you are, what other experiences you already had and how much you meditate.

I imagine that very grounded people don’t get problems as quickly. That’s a good thing, not shallowness.
Fully agree. I believe that taps into many thousands of years of tribalism - every human that ever lived had an "us" group and one or several "them" groups, and inter-group relations were rarely friendly.
How do you abolish nation? What's wrong with current EU situation endorsing diversity? You can federate EU and abolish national governments and that's happening slowly.
Thanks! That was excellent.
The article mentions that he experienced this, read about the dark night and the advice to "push through it" and that that advice backfired horribly.
Technology has enabled us to feel "close" (or at least simulate closeness) with a larger number of people over greater distances. We just didn't evolve for these large abstract social groups and we're still adapting as a species to it.

Not sure about during sleep, but meditation is nothing else then to life and think in the present, give your brain a task and focus just on that, then the next one. If you go into the future or past do it intended.

> I feel like these dangerous aspects of sex work are often ignored in the current zeitgeist of de-stigmatizing,

I agree entirely. I heard of one young lady who started an OnlyFans, apparently did quite well, but decided to stop it because of the psychic damage.

I'm going to be heavily downvoted for this, but I'm going to say it anyway ...

We need to stop all the bullshit about how it empowers women. Certain sections of the Women's Lib movement are particularly to blame for this, and it is right to heavily censure them.

Sites like OnlyFans exploit lonely young men who are poor at making connections with women. It's morally wrong to engage in exploitative behaviour. Period. I don't care if they're "beta cucks", "incels", "losers", or whatever de-humanising manshaming words one cares to use, exploitative behaviour is still wrong.

Sure, if you bounce your tiddies over on OnlyFans then it doesn't make you literally worse than Hitler, but these people should be discouraged from what they're doing.
> machine-generated classification barely intersects with human-generated meta-data at all

What do you mean by this? A big part of the reason that deep learning was a major advancement is the fact that it helps you extract data from metadata in a semi-automated (and increasingly automated) fashion.

Maybe the difference is that we gave up trying to "make sense of" the metadata in any kind of universal way.
> How terrible that local laws, written and enacted by the voting population they preside over

They're written by the politicians who were voted into power and who have certain vested interests in voting them. They were not voted by a population, sorry.
Yes. From experience I can attest that they are two doors to the same house, so to speak.
You would need multiple IEDs and effectiveness might be limited against armor...

Lets assume they do kill off all security personnel.

Truck disables itself, axels blown off, fills itself with quick setting cement and poisonous gas. It also actives autonomous weapons to defend itself.

Truck is also heavily armored so IEDs won't reach payload.

Then, 1 minute or less air support is on the scene and bombs it and everything close by.

You would need an army as OP said to withstand air attack and disable defenses and move the now disabled truck
"one of the toughest and most secretive jobs in the transportation industry"

I see lots of faces of people I can track and even a license plate. Maybe not that secretive.

If I wanted to find out where the weapons were I could identify everyone in that photo and track their whereabouts.
It is HARD to get the ones who do the worst to work at the level of those who do well.

It is "easy", however, to make everyone suck equally as much at school. At least that is my experience.

I actually got diagnosed with a high IQ, which I got tested for because most classes were boring to me and thus I didn't really do well. As aresult of me not being challenged much if at all back then, I never really learned how to learn.

Thus I slid further and further down with learning until I dropped out.

IMO there should be more separation between kids with high and low abilities at school. Push the "better" ones much harder, while also providing specially trained teachers to the "worse" ones. Don't try to get everyone to the same level.
How did you edit it? I haven't ever had Facebook, but if I understand correctly you are saying that you edited the terms of service and then successfully hit the "submit" button?
> puritan anti-porn stance

Dismissing people critical of the porn industry as "anti-porn puritans" is certainly not helping your argument nor doing justice to all the people who have to deal with the consequences of the victimization of women in these 'industries', something the clientele never cares about of course.
This is a great reminder that not all heroes wear capes. Thank you for your service.

> Dynamic arrays are only few lines to implement. There are different ways to do them, and no matter how, there will always be some problematic aspects. Not sure why you would want to choose one particular implementation and elevate it to a higher status.

Just having a default in the language is insanely useful. I can only appeal to experience here (with D, which has built-in arrays), but I never want to be without them again. This goes doubly for my language, where dynamic arrays are actually a bit involved due to the need for slices, refcounting and capacity tracking for the doubling strategy on append. Not something you want to reimplement everywhere.

> It's ugly and inexperienced users will write bugs using it, but it's also tremendously useful. You mentioned quasiquoting as an alternative, but I'm not positive that it works as a preprocessor replacement for a language that lacks the "homomiconity" of LISP. Are there examples that show it works?

As an example, something like

#define SQUARE(X) ({ typeof(X) x = X; x * x; })

could in a language with macros (and a better function macro syntax than I have at the moment :p) be rewritten as

macro SQUARE(X) ({ typeof($X) x = $X; x * x; });

Which has the exact same effect, but does not suffer from the C preprocessor problems caused by string/token interpolation. Also, errors can be easily and cleanly attributed to the actual location they occur, because SQUARE's nature is a parse tree, not a token list.

As for macros like `#define BEGIN {`, I consider it an advantage that they don't work. :)
As someone who dabbles in mushroom based psychedelics you are right. The sudden awareness of yourself, and even moreso the sudden awareness of 'not yourself' can be pretty frightening. I have had bad trips before, and they usually began with an untethering of yourself. Once you start floating outside of your life/personality, you can become very distressed with what is left. It can become almost scarring to see yourself from afar suffering so badly, but that be not yourself. It's hard to put into words, but that experience of intense disassociation, and the pain of being an observer to it is very real.
Looks like a better link would be https://www.the-diy-life.com/mini-raspberry-pi-server-with-b... as this is the actual project article.
From what I perceive one of the problems is funding.

This is not strictly related to what you write and more about research in general, but most researchers seem to avoid submitting negative results. Disproving something can be just as important as proving something, but it is seen as a failure in most cases and can negatively impact your future funding.

This leads some researchers to just hide their "failures" and some go as far as doctoring the results.

Unfortunately this doesn’t cover the case where the ransomware group is threatening to leak your data unless they pay :/

It’s also good to consider—if a ransomware allows attackers to access your network—whether there’s anything stopping them from accessing (and encrypting/overwriting/deleting) your backups.
Good idea, I just corrected it. Thanks.
>Why not abolish nations within the EU and just become the EU with different provinces?

Because outside of your bubble nobody wants this. A random person from Bulgaria is going to have a very different culture from a random person from Netherlands. What do you think happens with power in such conglomerate ?

If you want to see what happens when you create a forced conglomerate of different nations (but still more similar than EU member, languages were way closer and cultures were close as well) into a super state look up Yugoslavia.
Apple, Google and Microsoft do just fine without modern C++ craziness in kernel and drivers.

As for compilation times, it is all a matter of how the build system is architected.

Most of my C++ build pipelines compile faster than Rust, in make clean all scenarios.

There is no black magic in how to achieve it, just knowing what one is doing, making use of binary libraries, build caches, and be aware of how much craziness is allowed, most of which wouldn't be allowed on the kernel anyway.
Except they don't. Please don't spread polish government's propaganda.
Nobody is talking about it because there is not much censorship on porn or sex work in the West. I agree I'd prefer there were no rules about it but I don't think it affect that many people on HN.

If you live in many Muslim countries or in a socialist regime like North Korea, China or Cuba, you'll have stronger limits to what you can do.
The EU shouldn't be above that. But when Hungary doesn't like the rules of the EU it should leave. Of course it never will, as it is depending on the 3.000.000.000 Euro yearly support.

Rust usage, even with millions of dollars of marketing and eleven years of hype, is still almost a rounding error in terms of usage.

I think _terrible _ might be a bit harsh on Grokking Algorithms, but most of it’s curriculum is rather basic, and the few last chapters about graphs, which I’d say is a bit less basic, pretty much require that you inspect the accompanying pdf with illustrations… this might not be a problem of you’re listening while sitting in a train, but it will be a problem if you’re listening while walking the dog (like me).

I would just describe Grokking Algorithms as a bad book, and mostly relevant if you have zero prior experience with Algorithms.

Oh, and the narration of the code snippets is also pretty useless IIRC.

Ok, while writing this, I realize that “terrible“ might actually be well deserved.
If there is one single lasting international effect of Orbán and his party, it's how he demonstrated how EU is completely helpless against rouge states (as well). The delicate political balance of its parliamental politics make it impossible to react to any complex, even if lethal threats. The EU funds and fuels a Belorussian-style regime in its own heartland for a decade now, and all they can do are angry notices and legal disputes that take years without a noteworthy resolution. Due to how alliances within the union work - Hungary has the full support of Poland and the V4 - any major blowback would result in shattering itself.
Erm, the root of the problem is that polish government is breaking polish law, in particular the constitution. It's not "polish constitution against EU", it's "polish government against polish constitution and the EU".

I once registered to an event where the condition of attendance was to agree to have your personal data processed (that was many years before GDPR came and made such bullshit illegal). This was declared through a HTML form, with a bit of client-side JS that disabled the "Submit" button until you checked the "I agree to data processing" checkbox.

So of course I edited the page to let the submission through anyway, and the POST request had the appropriate consent boolean parameter to false instead of true. Since the registration completed successfully, they either ignored that parameter, or - what I was hoping would happen - their database had my row with a distinct FALSE on the consent column.

I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I decided to follow up on their data processing against my consent. Would I have a successful case? Or would they can me for working around their bit of client-side JS?
