Learning Language with Netflix is a great resource and I'm really happy to see you're expanding! This looks awesome!

And yeah, anyone that's trying to learn a language should definitely try immersing with a tool like this. Connecting words with things on screen and hearing different people speak are really useful, and your retention of vocabulary is going to be better when you can see it in different contexts.
This is similar for me, though with language meetups or literally just paying someone to talk with me in the language I want to learn.

Nothing beats seeing the language used as a living thing, as a part of human behavior within a form of life. Immersion, in person, is also essential for understanding the ways that people speak in a language, all the different connotations and tricks to words. Also, jokes. Attempting to tell jokes in a 2nd language, and also getting a laugh out of people (perhaps at you, but same feeling) is really rewarding feeling. I often tell people to start trying to tell jokes in a 2nd language right away. It immediately gives you a sense of play in the language and jokes are often direct references to common human experience. In a way, a lot of jokes are universal.

> no, it's no good for big data sets because lambda warmup time and RAM consumption is proportional to binary size

What binary size? What RAM consumption? With a SQLite database or something similar you'll have a small and possibly unchanged program, one or more large replaced database files, and only the unavoidable reloading of actually used index pages contributing to memory use and "warmup" after an update.

Of course if instead of relying on some efficient DBMS that manages indexing and caching you have to discard and reload a large file in its entirety after an update in order to hold all its content in memory your database is part of the problem and not part of the solution.
What I meant is that regardless of the financial situation of the company or whether shareholders still believe in it, don't you think insiders would be selling at IPO because it is probably the first major liquidity event ever?

Even if you completely believe in the future of the company, locking in returns and getting some liquidity (Even if the stock didn't pop heaps) would be nice for people who have been illiquid for years.
There was a time in history, where people were not feeling safe around certain group of other people. These other people ended up in gas chambers because of mass hysteria around accusations made towards them by officials and mass media. I fear this is where we are heading now, as a society who should be learning on horrible lessons from our history.
Given that most people are quite resistant to changing their minds, the most skilled debater is the one that gets the most people to change their mind, rather than the one that gets the most people to agree.
That first one is incredible. Getting offended on behalf of Jews for the millions of lives caused by... What, Christmas?
This reminds me some review or article i read many years ago about OS/2 2.0 (the one before Warp) that wrote something along the lines of IBM tried to use a color palette that would be appropriate for all cultures around the world and ended up making a user interface with colors that looked very bland for everyone :-P
"cd -" changes to the previous working directory. Your function calls cd multiple times, so calling "cd -" won't bring the user to the previous working directory they expect. ozym4nd145's function only calls cd once.
Most roads in the USA are also "free", as are the police, etc. Healthcare elsewhere may be similar.
And other companies and other legal entities...
Yes but at least higher education’s “negotiating” (which really isn’t negotiations since the avenues to get the cost down is far easier with Scholarships and FAFSA) is more upfront and better known.
But it is ethical to keep the lines shorter by excluding the poor?
Before you get too upset you should realize that OP was incorrect.
For this reason I started using Yandex. Few advertisers pay for non-Russian ads, and the results are better than DuckDuckGo (in my opinion).
The integration is pretty decent in vim, i have it configured to open a window overlay on <leader>n (requires neovim) https://github.com/craigjperry2/dotfiles/blob/main/dotfiles/...

That said, i don't find myself using that as much. Usually i'm in the shell when i invoke nnn - i might open a file in vim from nnn though.

In vim, i typically lean on fzf.vim more often - usually i know something about the next file i want to open so it just feels more direct.
thoughtful and respectful :)
I hate how they bleed you via a thousand cuts. My kid saw a urologist at Nemours. Total appointment was maybe an hour and a half. He was experiencing pain while urinating. Turns out he just needed to stop holding his bladder and just go to the bathroom when he felt he needed to go. They took a urine sample, and an ultrasound. Over a year and a half later and I am still getting bills for it. Each bill is between $35 and $100 dollars. I have gotten ~20 of them. Every couple weeks to couple months another one or two come in.
That's one heck of a stretch. The more reasonable interpretation would be that the 2nd simply means combat robots should be legal for citizens to own and operate.

I mean who wouldn't sleep better at night knowing your XJ9000 Eviscerator brand murderbot is patrolling your home for unexpected guests? /s
I take your point, but don’t you think you’re overstating things a bit? The internet is still incredibly useful and so is Google search (granted, it takes more effort and sophistication to avoid the spam).
Nope, it's fraud and the insurance company will / should be destroyed. But they will probably settle out of court for the damage + a little extra to not be stuck in court for a decade.
please stop lying/distorting reality. You have absolutely zero proof that what you observed has to do with the vaccine.
I think it was a typo, but I agree that the IPO is their “exist” strategy as in the purpose of the companies existence is to IPO, lol.
No way, that guy is the best.
Why warehouse/workshop model can high performance and low power consumption
An excellent analysis of the issues, but fails to make any suggestions at to what can be done - probably because to do so would only invoke attacks on the author.
In 2011 I had major surgery. The hospital first billed the insurance company for $100,000. The insurance company then paid $20,000.

Of course, the insurance rate was negotiated in advance. There was no reason to bill for 5x the negotiated rate.

IMO: We need to start fining hospitals for billing errors like this.
The AI will spawn a linked subservient instance for that kind of stuff.... it will not take the kind of chances humans take...
> Scientists and engineers make really bad politicians though; they tend to say what they believe to be true.

A very dangerous statement to generalise. Because it implies that someone with a political aptitude is incapable of these trades (ie become a scientist or engineer).

>the widespread belief that Y2K was a big hoax

It was a hoax where the marketing worked to sell Y2K compliant keyboards (and toasters probably).
This is silly. You may as well try to credit “calculus” as the inventor of a patent whose key innovation was calculated using a derivative. Some human crafted the problem for the AI, chose the parameters of a good solution, and verified the results. That human or humans are the inventors, not one of the tools they used.

The same applies in the US in terms of health coverage. The outliers are more vocal and more screwed but not a majority by far.
Realistically, if you win the war, or even if you're a western power that quietly retreats after losing it, there's nobody responsible. And if you lose the war the winner decides who was responsible for your killer robot army. There's Nuremberg precedent for "both".
What's the output of these special unifont characters in screen readers? Does it state every character as "bold A, bold B, bold C"?

We got an alert in Jefferson county letting us know specifically that there was no Tsunami.
Everyone knows it's too late, everyone except these 14,000 scientists. The reason why no one is doing anything is because it's pointless. If we have to face untold suffering, do it with grit, not like these spineless nannies. "Give me all your money or you're going to regret it!" Sounds like 14,000 highway robbers. Get rid of them and the problem will magically go away.
I'm curious about the mechanical digital amplifier mechanism, do you have any examples?
Adults do not throw tantrums. Maybe you should take your own advice.
Nothing at all. The friction is that it costs a decent chunk of money to submit patents. It’s not worthwhile to submit gibberish ones that will never be accepted, or never hold up in court if accepted but challenged. But there is probably some potential market for an innovative AI able to produce patents worth more than the fees they incur, for legitimate or trolling purposes.
True, but that said, rates in US hospitals are massively over-inflated. They get away with it, insurance companies are not pressuring enough to lower cost (they're probably in on it), and there is no real competition.
Employees at Google are mostly at-will. Google can fire them any time, although typically, they produce a 6+ month performance record with failure to do job before terminating (mostly to protect against lawsuits). However, Google has terminated people on the spot, with cause. The government will back Google firing people for not being vaccinated.
Well we were billed 200,000$ for a perfectly standard C section with 4 days of recovery and no NICU. So 250,000$ seems cheap!
partially fault of stringent regulation on pain medication because often it is consisting of controlled substance. bad penalties if doctor is not careful enough about giving to anybody.
As an English speaker, DuoLingo didn’t seem that interesting to me. Then I listened to a podcast where the found Luis von Ahn explained why he started the company [1]. He grew up in Guatemala, and he noticed that learning English would essentially triple anyone’s earning potential in his country. Sure, I might never learn Chinese in DuoLingo, but if I could triple my income by doing it I bet I’d be much more motivated. English speakers that think this app is a toy aren’t the target market.

Luis also invented the captcha and used it to digitize the full archive of the New York Times. I can’t speak to the quality of the instruction in DuoLingo, but I’m willing to bet that if there’s a computer-assisted approach to language learning that works, Luis is one of the people most likely to invent it.

A guess as a beginning Japanese learner: Japanese has a lot of homophones because it has so few syllables. It is also almost always written without spaces. Kanji is actually pretty helpful in reading because it provides semantic meaning that disambiguates homophones as well being more terse and breaking up the writing along grammatical boundaries.

I'm approaching this from the angle of wanting to understand video-game Japanese, and when I am trying to parse some 8-bit era all-katakana chunk of text I find myself wishing it included kanji even though I can only recognize a few dozen just so the grammar is more clear.
With the subtle side message that the decline of the West is due to "hyper-liberalism" - there's too much PC in the universities, and we're not totalitarian enough.

Meanwhile no mention - none - is made of the record inequality across the west. Politicians are rolling in cash from the strip-mining of our health, housing, education, banking, media and environment sectors. Huge swathes of manufacturing have been outsourced while CEOs collect massive bonuses; not mentioned.

It's those PC liberals in universities, and their so-woke reticence to burn more coal that's to blame for this. Not the politicians, not the surveillance, not the grossly unjust forever wars that transform money into murder.

It's Russian influence crumbling the west, not lobbyists and money and Bilderbergers (I know, Bilderberg is so 2014).

This is some of the most devious analysis I've ever seen.
No but that wasn't the question the OP asked. Unless you've got a nation of saints the majority of people will make somewhat selfish decisions.
On Geofoam
The evolution of ‘anatomically modern humans’ was almost certainly a continuous change over many tens of thousands of generations. The assignment of arbitrary cutoffs and categories doesn’t really map onto reality well, as you’ve shown.

Of course it’s difficult to accept that for every generation prior they were simply less ‘human’ and more ‘ape like’ all the way back to the first bipedal generation in sub-Saharan Africa. Because the implication is that our 10000th great grand parents were less human than we are, and their 10000th great grand parents were even less so, and so on until they were literally apes, or proto-apes to be more precise.
You're delusional if you think Google search is going anywhere lol

Google search used to include discussion. They'll bring it back
Of course, then you need to understand what patents you have, which requires just as much work as drafting the patent in the first place :)

What about them? Not sure if your position is that ride-sharing isn't an unalloyed good (sure, most things aren't), or that ride-sharing is bad (seems like that's strongly unsupported in terms of lives saved).
Our glorious leader has no foresight, or ability to plan for future problems.

How do I know this? Because he infamously brought a lump of coal to parliament to show people how it's not dirty at all and nobody needs to be scared of it. (He had it lacquered to stop his hands getting dirty.)

The selfsame genius of a man was quoted earlier in the year saying that "vaccination was not a race".

He also cancelled out original Pfizer order, so then we got put at the back of the queue after dozens of other countries.

You realize they choose the bronze plan so they can pay less right? They're not forced into having an 8k deductible. They do this so they can have less taken out of pocket and only really use the healthcare in a major emergency. This would support the idea that people prefer the US system and not universal healthcare.

I'm sure they play tons of games so it's not considered an error.

That said, the government needs to step in and set prices for health care. The free market has failed, in this case. Nobody can afford to shop around for a cheaper health care provider in an emergency, and even then there's no real competition.
This due to the use of "why" and "because" in English to introduce explanations that are fundamentally different and grammatically differentiated in other languages. One is a cause, as in the antecedent cause of a consequent effect, while the other is a purpose, the effect desired prior to undertaking an action. This is the difference between etiology and teleology, which many students fail to grasp. "Why does man print this?" asks for a cause, while "Why are you using man in a test?" asks for a purpose.
Some communities have their own forums they use too, and I’ve only stumbled upon these by accident. It would be nice if there were an index somewhere that kept track of them.
I have friends that came over from Europe for hospital stay - they got the bill, sent their objection and the hospital reduced to the usual 35%.
If you live in the US you always can buy insurance that will cap your max out of pocket to about $8k pre tax a year. Also if you’re employer doesn’t provide insurance - you’re probably in an “entry level job” that is not meant for long term employment, but rather quick money for young adults, who are still on their parents insurance (up to 27yo)
In addition to the other replies to you: almost nobody pays $960k in taxes, but they still get this benefit.
There are problems with car buying but I'd argue they are different problems.

At least when you go to a dealership they'll give you a firm price before you sign the paperwork. The biggest issue I have with health care is that this isn't the case.
Right on! Free parking is another plus and I bet you still have a silly e-grin on your face after every ride. You can even run them all winter and in snow with studded tires and a bit of thought for the controller and moisture.
And I thought the people doing the subtitles of non-English films on Netflix were embarrassing.

These guys didn't even try.
Thank you for precious answer.
They choose the Bronze plan because it's literally all they can afford.

My family's ACA Platinum plan costs me $2,200/month this year, and there's still $4k of copays a year to meet.
did you actually try that query? I just got lots of relatively high quality review sites/periodicals. I say "relatively" because even industry stalwarts like Bicycling Magazine, which has been around in print and/or online form for decades, are ad-driven and far from unbiased. But if you trust Consumer Reports or NY Times more, they're on the first page too.
> How is that different from a hosting provider

If their argument is "we only retransmit what we get, with caching" then they are in the same place liability-wise as the phone providers ("We only retransmit what we et, with caching").

In other words, a common carrier.

Hosting is different. For exmaple, Youtube is not liable for what their users upload. They comply with takedown notices because they host the content, not the user.

You can buy an ad, but those are shown differently than actual results. You can't pay Google to improve your SEO.

Comparative analysis between regiments and across the history. For crude overview, consider the US vs China.
Also see SpaceX case below.

Also my original point: separating manufacturing and innovation. Small inventor rarely is the same as manufacturer. Without patent, inventor has nothing to sell. They can only give away.

>Maybe you have to consider that an idea is fundamentally flawed in the first place.

I am. I'm researching and learning the subject and I am hoping good counterarguments. So far people just come up with ad hoc arguments on the spot. Normative and ideological blanket statements are not very good.

>SpaceX deliberately didn't patent their technologies, and yet they succeeded brilliantly.

yes: trade secrets.

SpaceX is interesting case and their reasoning is interesting. SpaceX has started filing patents (Starlink Project), but not very aggressively in their core rocket technology. They choose to keep their core technology trade secret. Their reason for keeping trade secrets is very interesting: “We have essentially no patents in SpaceX. Our primary long-term competition is in China. If we published patents, it would be farcical, because the Chinese would just use them as a recipe book.” – Elon Musk
This is so short-sighted and ignorant, it's hard to even read about. Brazilians should cherish their rainforest, legacy of millions of years of evolution, with wondrous biodiversity and an amazing carbon sink the planet desperately needs.

Instead, they're chopping and burning this vital carbon store to make room for beef production. This is so short sighted it's painful. We know beef has to be massively ramped down, it releases a ton of methane. Hopefully meat alternatives will render all these cattle farms obsolete.

Then what? Once we figure out artificial meat, all of these ranchers lose economically, and the million year old ecosystem is already destroyed. Sickening.
Because it's not necessary. Since 2017 police and secret agencies can access all photos 24/7 per web access.

I've had bad experiences with Docker+Debian as well when the storage was on ZFS. I've had a much better experience by just keeping /var/log/containers on something simple, like ext4. Valuable data is still on ZFS and mounted inside the containers, no issues there.

Actually the situation is a bit worse than that. It'd be like if you bought the $50k TV and you only knew what your price was once it showed up on your cc statement.

Also the purchase is non-refundable...
I ran into a similar thing last year when researching replacement LED spots for my ceiling lights. Most review sites used a similiar headline like "best LED spots in 2020" and they were all comparison tables featuring only products available on Amazon, most of them being manufactured by brands that noone probably ever heard of and that are only available on Amazon, and it was all the same basic crap. Not sure how but eventually I found much a better brand with higher-quality LEDs.
Yup; you could do every minute with no real problems if you like. I believe you start to run into performance issues with high (1000+) snapshot counts, and then mostly when actually doing snapshot operations, so you'd want to have something to trim snapshots so you only keep your minutely snapshots for an hour and so forth.
Ask HN: Who is the founder of fmovies, 123movies Piracy websites?
I am really curious who is the founder of fmovies, 123movies etc.
Is these websites run by same person/organisations?

There are lots of dupe of each site but all of them update same content immediately.

It is worth noting for clarity that there is no "British health system" – the constituent nations of the UK have separate and distinct healthcare systems.

In reality, "negative stories" aren't much of a strong signal. There are likely as many "positive stories" that don't get as much traction, particularly because there is quite a lot of effort invested in the US into spreading FUD about single-payer healthcare systems. Though I do agree that this effort is effective on many people.
Free in this context clearly means "free at the point of delivery" - we all know we pay for it in our taxes.
What does it even mean to have AI as the inventor, is that referring to the name of the file on the disk?
