If the cost of labor goes up, increasing the consumer cost of goods (inflation) is only one way of offsetting that labor cost. That cost can also be offset by A) Reducing shareholder profits B) reducing management profits C) government subsidies D) reducing capacity.

Companies in America are incredibly top-heavy, and a more stable economy could emerge if those resources at the top are distributed down to the worker. If implemented properly, UBI could push companies to share more of those profits with their workers without affecting the buyer.

Additionally capital generates more social value when it circulates (when its being spent) vs when it is stagnant (when it sits in a bank). Even if things are more expensive, more people having access to things allows local economies to grow
How do you compare unlocking a phone for someone who bough it to stealing one's personal information? They're not similar in any way.
Shoot. Yes that's who it was. I had never heard of him or his bike before and I just wanted them to spend more time on all the electronics he had onboard, so this is great. Thank you!
Hey Chagai! Nice to see you on HN :)

How active are online meetups on Trustroots? It's nice to see that they do now exist, but I wonder whether the map limits it to people in the same geographical area. And I'l always be happy to see you on Thursday's BW Asia-Pacific weekly meetup.
Agree. Both can be true at once.
Are there any non-government customers for delivering 100–300 kg of cargo to the moon? That's what these landers are capable of doing. I don't think there is any commercial demand for this service right now.

The first commercial use cases for lunar transport are going to be tourism and media/entertainment–both will require actually transporting people there, along with tonnes of equipment/supplies/habitats/rovers/etc, so several orders of magnitude beyond the current capabilities of these companies. Of course, maybe they can close that gap, but there are other companies – most notably SpaceX – which are much much closer to closing that gap than these companies are.

Parents should just take their children out of school, and home school or 'unschool' them.

Regarding your question, this is an example of people choosing to do something because they can and not because they should. In fact, the surveillance is likely a violation of the 4th Amendment of the US Bill of Rights.
I'm reminded of the king of the Swamp Castle from Monty Python and the Holy Grail: "Let's not bicker and argue about who killed who."

It should not need saying that if millions of deaths are the result of a simple, easily avoidable mistake (or gross negligence) then that is kind of a big deal. The Titanic led to better lifeboat regulations. We need to understand our role in the origin of this disease even if only so that we can learn our lesson, whatever that may be.
For surfers, I felt it wasn't just awareness of potential reviews that made it work.
Before you surf, you describe yourself and then someone offers you their trust based on who they think you are.

That's pretty strongly bound up with your self image.
You've described your character in writing. Most people will try hard to live up to that.
Litrally just witnessed a perfect example of this a few minutes ago:

This channels first video ^ titled (the video is 1 week old):
"Jacob Collier: Music's Biggest Fraud"
Likes: 102 / Dislikes: 469
I think it supposed to be satire, but doesnt come off too well. He makes a decent point about overbearing fans.
I was surprised to see it in my recommended, as I dont really know of Jacob and only watched this video once, which is just 33 seconds long with the title of "when your phone rings in a jacob collier concert"

So your point about engagement really rings true to me. Kinda sucks, especially when you can see the kind of... friction, it promotes (the comments section is pretty mad)
There's typically an open loop and closed loop part of the system. The open loop transfers geothermal heat to the closed loop, the closed loop actually runs steam through the turbines.

The reason for the closed loop is to keep mineralisation of the water to a minimum, as otherwise steam tubes and turbines are rapidly fouled.

The open loop loses a significant amount of the initial water load, either through drainage or evaporative losses.

Plants such as The Geysers, north of San Francisco in California, have had output reduced to about 40% of initial generation largely due to groundwater losses.

No, not before your comment at least. Vendor CI tools (be it GitLab, Drone, etc) often make it difficult to use this workflow. Their typical model is long lived static creds, and gating authn/authz around job kick off. I'm not aware of any that would work with delegated/approved credentials, at least without writing a custom secrets plugin. If anyone knows of such capabilities, give a me a holler.

Furthermore, there is still the risk of any service available to external contributors being compromised (as we saw in the this vulnerability). I'd just as soon have "no prod secrets touch a system that does external CI" as a security invariant -- no matter how trustworthy that external CI system is.

In a bittersweet irony, out-of-band approvals are in our product:

https://goteleport.com/blog/workflow-api/

but we're not there with CI yet. :/ It would be fantastic if we could have short lived credentials issued only for the duration of the job, after approval (or better: after delegation) from a trusted party. Something like AWS's `CalledVia`.
>Credit card and payday loan companies and other financial companies that preyed on people could avoid regulatory clampdowns by recharacterizing a problem with their business models as an educational issue or a personal responsibility issue.

They have? Maybe I'm missing all the credit card/payday loan campaign ads, but I haven't seen any ads to that effect. Then again I also haven't seen that many ads to begin with so I'm not a reliable source. A source for your claim would be appreciated either way. That said, if I were to steelman their argument I draw parallels to drug policy and argue for it based on harm reduction. ie. "people are going to get usurious loans either way, better it be from regulated businesses than loan sharks. the high interest rates are required because of the default rates associated with the client base".

I can see how you might avoid "highly coupled with implementation details" example-based tests. With a little abstraction, you can do the same with property-based tests.

Properties as external assertions that you code up as a test. An easy example is to think about the contract of a stack, and the properties that result, and how you could test those properties with arbitrary example: pushing arbitrary t of T on a stack of T results in a stack 1 deeper popping a non-empty stack results in a stack 1 shallower, etc.
Thanks for the reply!

For accuracy's sake: resistance losses in long-distance high-voltage AC or DC transmission are actually quite low. On the order of 6%.

The majority of generating losses (about 60% of input thermal energy) is due to Carnot efficiency losses, not transmission inefficiencies. There's also some loss in transformers (ramping voltages up or down), and rectifiers (converting AC to DC and vice versa).

But the biggest losses are in going from thermal to mechanical energy itself.

Where do you work, so that I can make sure to never work there?
I think a developer doing their own QA is far better than them not doing it. How are they not just throwing over garbage if it hasn't been exercised meaningfully (typically an automated test won't be as good as a manual test but maybe it can be). In the bigger picture, going "slower" is probably better than being worried with "speed of delivery" which then takes longer to actually be done with the level of quality that would make the product "good".
Economics actually does care about your feelings and dreams. Its the study of how people spend money. People's individual values effects their spending habits, what they are willing to work for, and what businesses they start. Its literally a social science.

That said I also dont really agree with this video. I think it enforces a bootstraps-like view on how people should adapt.

Frankly I think we need a more empathetic economic system that rewards but does not demand entrepreneurship, and that values worker autonomy above all else.
High-capacity long-distance electrical transmission is actually both cheap and efficient, relative to many other energy options.

It's far less expensive to build one high-capacity line than many low-capacity lines (e.g., serving wind farms or solar farms).

Geothermal has the added benefit that it's dispatchable power. It can be extracted on demand, when the need arises. As a complement to wind and solar, it's actually a great fit.
When blending shellac, especially if you are using a dark color like you'd use on skirting boards then always ensure that you use 99% ethanol. Obviously it depends where you live so availability may be a problem as that strength may not be permissible. Often consumer-grade industrial ethanol is only available at 95% strength the remaining 5% water and denaturant.

The 5% water doesn't seem much but it can cause the shellac to go slightly milky in color. This can be quite noticeable if you're trying to match colors during the touch up of some old work. The transparency of the schellac isn't the same so even when you match the color you can still notice the difference. Also, if there's too much water in the alcohol then the shellac won't harden properly - or you'll notice a textural difference in the finished surface.
We may as well think of the spammers as their own ML whos aim and weighting is to fool the spam prevention. So as good as you make the spam AI, the spammer AI evolves to be better than it since they keep iterating until they find whatever formula does not trip the spam protection.

>Any human being or half-decent algorithm would be able to catch these with no trouble at all

And this statement from OP is blatantly false because if it was true, no human would fall for the scams. But they do fall for them, in huge volumes. Especially if the scams appear to come from a known authority like Elon, the police, your boss, etc.

And if you did find a half decent algorithm that worked, the spammers would just iterate again to make spam that doesn't trip it.
As an educator, I think about this a lot. One approach I'm prototyping for a (hopefully freely available) course on reinforcement learning is to translate dense math expressions into English sentences, and then link each piece of text<=>math with a corresponding color. (Quick example I just uploaded: https://gfycat.com/favorablemintyharrier ).

By doing this consistently, I can highlight the link between math symbol and corresponding concept, and help the student learn how to read and interpret dense constructions as we go.

(Note that this approach is intended to be used as part of a larger explanatory strategy, so please assume the example is embedded in an appropriate context.)

Parent's don't have the time or experience, usually needing to work. Teaching impressionable young minds is a skill, not a "let them lose and hope it works" situation. I would also trust a curriculum that has been vetted and tried, not parental indoctrine; or skipping some subjects entirely, like anti-CRT proponents have shown.
Yes. Time invested given for free at the expense of other endeavors. I’m not arguing against doing any of these things. Just simply stating that time = money. I’d rather spend my money/time on model railroad building too. z scale ftw.
but that's like looking at a function and defining it by its initial value. a function has meaning and importance beyond the 0th-order. and it's a philosophical view moreso than a political one (a political view posits how to use religion in the service of power).
From the article:

> There was a massive spike in users on the site under Espinoza, but because they’d been attracted in part by an advertising push and there was an easier onboarding process, they were less committed and slower to adapt to the pay-it-forward spirit of Couchsurfing.

Organically grown communities are both more durable and more fragile. Durable if not tampered with or commercialized, fragile otherwise.
Effectively every OO language does. Inherit and override behavior. Add a piece of indirection that allows the result to specify the type of view, etc. Think of `UserSearchResult SarchUser()` as returning either `ARealUserResult { int userId; string display = "showUserView" or `UserNotFoundResult { string display = "notFoundView" }` (you could easily add MultipleUsersMatchResult or UserRequiresAdminPrivilegesResult ...)

One of my children chucked their school laptop out of their bedroom window which then landed on concrete fifty feet below. The display was shattered, so I emailed the school and informed them that the laptop had been dropped and damaged, and can we order a replacement. They let us know the replacement cost, and we picked up the new laptop a few weeks later but were never billed for the expense :)

Distributing narratives (worldview, values, etc) is basically the function of the news today.

Hard facts are commoditized, they're available for free as AP wires. Picking, omitting, and organizing these facts to construct narrative–that's where each news organization can add its own flair.

For you Democrats/Marxists, this is going to sting ...

Democratic White Houses are usually hands-on with approving strikes (civilians in the White House do the final analysis and approval), so this strike that killed children goes all the way up to Biden.

The MSM has been propping up Biden since January, so we'll see what the actual approval chain was, but it's your fault.

For the record, starting around Sept. 1, 2021, cnn.com stopped covering up every issue for Biden, and is roughly 80% in sync with fox.com (likely to get better ratings, which fell off a cliff.) Their news reporting had nothing in common before Sept. Today cnn has articles on the border crisis, but there's still no search match for "cognitive decline."

(Everybody in Washington is trying to think of how to retire Biden without the choice being Kamala Harris, who has been labelled a light-weight.)

Based on his examples,

> The "novels" don't have a plot, the "music" doesn't have a direction, the "poem" mimics the tropes but not the rhetorical intent.

AI lacks an actually understanding about what it is talking about.

Current AI is like a cargo cult I guess, they see the surface patterns but do not have the underlying understanding as to why the patterns are the way they are.
I don't agree with this calculation. Under the assumption that 1) you think about what to do then 2) you decide which decision to make then 3) the computer learns about it and provides it to organizers with 90% precision then I am pretty sure the the correct answer is what is provided as 'first answer' in the article. (assuming what we care about is expectation). And I think even if our strategy is probabilistic between box B and A+B the box then still chosing B box with 100% is the best stategy.
I think the point is that these tech debt changes are often not really making the code better. Also, when the PR has other things going on, then it's harder to properly give a CR on the actual rason the code was changed. Sure, sometimes a person is able to remove a bunch of unnecessarily complex code or what not as part of the change, which I think are generally good.
Here is CSW's original claim that Bitcoin is Turing complete that took many by surprise including Nick Szabo. They heard it as you did, specifically addressing Bitcoin Script.

He immediately corrects them:

"The difference is that the SCRIPT ITSELF ISN'T, what you can do is..."

So there you go. Clearly not what you're claiming here, and if he said anything similar casually I'm sure this is exactly what he means, as he has stated many times, as the article states, as others have stated, as I understand it, and as can be observed.

I'm glad to hear you never post under other accounts.
I plan on having classes, and I plan for classes to support both functions and procedures as members. If you think about it, classes already have "pure functions of themselves" in the form of getters! JS/TS has just never been able to enforce that purity before, which meant that you could technically access a property and have a side-effect:

class Foo {
get prop1() {
this.state = Math.random();
return this.state;
}
}

console.log(myFoo.prop1)
console.log(myFoo.prop1) // different!

So I think the func/proc distinction will line up really nicely with classes as containers of state. And, as in other cases, pure functions will be able to access properties and call pure functions on class instances, just not call their procedures

Other things I'm going to try out with classes are getting rid of inheritance, and adding a publicly-readable-but-privately-writable access modifier for properties
I posted this and was wondering how this would affect AT&Ts business at all. If you’re carrier-locked or not, wouldn’t you still have a contract to pay and be on the hook for monthly fees? And if you don’t pay, be forwarded to collections?

It's the generic "Terrorism and rape will happen if you are allowed to control your own device that you actually paid money for" FUD.
