hello! im the author- the word is actually in the talmud itself,in the story of choni hamagel. spelled with an aleph and yud, so yes the pronunciation is 'ay' given that it is aramaic the A sound is the dufault, iirc (been a long time since i was in yeshivah)

in yiddish, ay and oy are used for different things, tho it occurs to me i cant quite articulate the difference. i believe ay is older.
It was not meant to be flamebait, I'm a democrat and Manchin is clearly a corrupt corporate stooge. Here's an Exxon exec confirming on tape that Manchin is his go to guy and they want the infrastructure deal killed because it would raise corporate taxes: https://youtu.be/xs0xAS2mLtg?t=108
Starlink will be available there in less than a year and should be quite sufficient. Possibly even better latency than fiber.
I don't think it's accurate to say "you don't have a cent of that money until you sell your home".

Nobody has anything valuable until they transfer some cash to receive that thing. The potential to transfer X for Y is valuable. Not to mention borrowing against one's assets.
It's not Windows (although Microsoft did basically force it to happen).

Intel have just removed S3 sleep from the latest Tigerlake chip so there isn't an alternative.
I would bet Amazon would envision the long game of the potential for participating in legal marijuana deliveries would vastly outweigh the benefits of maintaining a recruiting advantage from no drug testing (which would possibly remain a draw for users of other drugs).
But I don’t think it’s an unrealistic expectation. A Linux server might have uptime measured in years, and the same thing is possible for a desktop (maybe you use your desktop as a home server, too)
Yeah and that's deeply confusing.

At work we have too many components that are tested in isolation, but which have grown to become tightly coupled, so we're trying to build an end to end testing framework.

So from my perspective I'm living in a world where our end-to-end test suite doesn't exist and therefore could be equivalent to "killing it" and it is bad. Each component tests its own contracts, but if there's no global testing that the contracts match in both codebases then you're still shipping broken software.

I thought this article would be some clever way to match client side and server side contracts to ensure that the contracts are identical on both sides and tested so that you could test in isolation then still come away with assurances that the whole would work together.

Instead it sounds like it is advice to only build as much end-to-end tests so that you're reasonably confident that more isolating unit/functional will work, but don't build too much because they're horribly slow, and never adopt a policy that literally everything should be end-to-end tested because that will result in infinitely long running test suites. If you have no end-to-end tests you have no confidence that the software you ship works, if you have only end-to-end tests you have no confidence in your ability to ship software in the future.

So, uh, "clickbait title" I guess is my point?
And what do you get by replacing one ICE vehicle in Europe with an electric one?

You get two cars. A shiny new electric one running in (Central) Europe, and that same old stinky ICE one running in Eastern Europe, Asia or Africa.

The poorer countries will enjoy an influx and thus price decrease of valuable cars and happily drive them for decades to come.

The problem of course is that the planet doesn't care. Europe got cleaner but the planet got worse. Whereas Europe can outsource its dirty issues (waste, emissions, ...), the planet cannot. It stops there and we all lose.

I think the vast introduction of and blind focus on e-mobility is a mistake. Other areas are much more significant sources for GHG (industry, heating, A/C).
I use a mnemonic technique to remember song forms when I'm playing drums. I draw a map of the song, each measure is a square. Squares are arranged in lines in such a way that it makes sense musically (usually 4 squares per line). The parts of the song (verse, chorus, etc.) are separated. The squares are mostly empty, except when they contain something important to remember.

The drawing takes up more space than the typical informal drummer notation (for example: intro 4 bars; verse 8 bars; chorus 8 bars, etc.), but it is much easier to remember (at least for me).

If I'm learning a song that isn't recorded yet, I sketch this map during rehearsals. Before each rehearsal I try to visualize the maps of all the songs.

If I'm learning a challenging song from a recording I use a simple python program that draws the map from a given text file and allows me to play a loop over selected measures. This way my brain starts constructing a map of the song without conscious effort.

This sort of maps are some kind of constructed memory palaces in 2 dimensions. I personally wouldn't use an existing memory palace to remember a song, because the songs already have enough structure.

I need this technique only to remember the big picture. When I need to learn the changes or the melody, I try to rely more on music theory and "audio memory". If you are interested in learning jazz standards, you might want to check the book "Insights in Jazz" written by John Elliott.
It's gotta be combined with YIMBY policies, hopefully LVT.
this is meaningful to hear, i have had similar experiences. here is hoping we can all get the best of both worlds
Here is a Vox article citing a book that appears to have looked at LA crime data in some depth. Their thesis is the murder rate has little to do with general criminality rates, but rather with gangs and easy access to loaded guns. I am too tone-deaf to American politics to say how much bias should I read in those sources, but seems an interesting perspective. The book was published in 1999, before the hyper-partisan era, so perhaps that's a good sign.

> "Only a minority of Los Angeles homicides grow out of criminal encounters like robbery and rape," they find (there's no reason to believe the pattern would differ in other cities). So even if it could be shown that American robbery and rape rates are across-the-board higher than those in similar countries (which doesn't appear true today), that still wouldn't explain why America has so many more homicides than other countries. Again, Zimring and Hawkins's LA data was revealing.

> "A far greater proportion of Los Angeles homicides grow out of arguments and other social encounters between acquaintances [than robbery or rape]," they find.

> This is where guns enter the story. The mere presence of firearms, according to Zimring and Hawkins, makes a merely tense situation more likely to turn deadly. When a gang member argues with another gang member, or a robber sticks up a liquor store, there's always a risk that the situation can escalate to some kind of violence. But when people have a handheld tool that is specially engineered for killing efficiently, escalation to murder becomes much, much more likely.

Unpopular opinion - eliminate corporate taxes. Anyone big enough avoids them anyway so what's the point? Just put higher taxes on individuals based on consumption (a la VAT) and income actually derived for that tax year.
Yeah, it’s people who actually do the engaging. People could simply not get spun up by BS and cultivate a better set of sources for their info.

Facebook is just exposing the problems of people. They are no more a problem on their own then a three-ton pile of cocaine sitting in the middle of a public park.

EDIT this should have replied to vineyardmike’s comment. But you seem to more or less agree with the comparison. I didn’t say that it wasn’t a problem for people. I’m many arduous miles from perfect myself.
It's a pretty common and standard practice for the mail servers to check that the domain specified in the MAIL FROM command of SMTP does exist. If it doesn't, the mail is immediately rejected at the SMTP level.

This check goes through a local recursive DNS server. You often have to have the DNS port open for recursive DNS servers to work properly (over UDP). Which would be the IP address where the lookup were to originate from.

How exactly is receiving a spam marketing email from a big hotel chain by a bank employee controversial?
I think a lot of people care that the poor and middle class are paying their fair share of taxes while millionaires and corporations are not.

But I agree that this probably isn't a great topic for HN.
This proposal reminds me of that classic copypasta, “please drink your Mountain Dew verification can to play Xbox.”
Ordering a joint from the nearest Amazon Marijuana dispensary and a drone delivers it and lights it for you before it leaves.
Cyc was trying to encode common knowledge about the world in a bunch of rules. That goes well beyond what GPT-3 does with text.

I wanted to ask you if the "-gsplit-dwarf" is a 100% complete alternative to strip the symbols as done previously. I ask you because some modern projects[1] still prefer to compile with symbols and strip afterward.

Do not forget market forces: there would be a strong incentive to improve upon the CO2 scrubbing technology, which can then be used in the tech to permanently remove CO2 from the atmosphere.
>How about we just pay smaller regional companies?

I believe that's what the article is about.
That's insane, I didn't realize it was that much. If we could see cars drop carbon turds on the road instead of venting it invisibly in the air we'd all be freaking out right now.
It would not surprise me if dietary choices produced unique signatures in fecal properties which could then be used to infer all manner of identifying information - e.g. you could probably with high certainty guess ethnicity, religion, and/or political alignment from fecal signatures.

That's not to say the standard big data risk doesn't outweigh the benefit, but I'm just pointing out that there is potentially some risk if we allow faceless megacorps (and/or government bodies, directly or indirectly) to siphon up our poo-PII.
Distributions of cash are taxed in most cases regardless of how structured.

The value of your stock might go up. That is taxed if you sell if for cash.
I don't think its cynical at all. It is basically how most of the US policy is being done. It certainly helps that average US household doesn't care about MJ anymore, which allows Amazon not spend PR time on ensuring the populace that their widgets are gathered by non-high individuals.

But yeah, the worker 'shortage' forced the biggest companies to rethink their policies and they do happen to spend a lot in Washington.
You'd be looking at billions of dollars to dry and drill through that rock. It's incredibly dense.

But yeah, it would be pretty cool to see done.
It's an Intel problem.

They just axed S3 sleep in the latest Tigerlake chips (which the 9310 use, and I assume Framework is using or will use in the future). You can't even workaround this by running Linux.

This more or less means that there isn't actually an alternative to modern standby other than hibernation at the hardware level any more (unless AMD continue to support it which there's a good chance of happening).
> Why a person would ever walk away from a computer without saving is beyond me.

In my case, it was mostly executables that I'm in the process of debugging and stepping through. I'm not aware of any debugger which can save and restore open file handles.

> I just feel like a lot of the problems people have with Windows 10 aren't really in the software, but are between the keyboard and chair.

I would have argued just like you before I encountered the cursed tablet. That thing had an integrated battery, so no matter what you tried, it could still turn on by itself if it wanted to. The only reliable way to make it stop making noises in the middle of the night was to thoroughly drain its battery.

That said, the Dell XPS support post that I commented on is by itself pretty detailed about all the issues that Dell machines are having with Windows 10. I think you'll believe me that Dell wouldn't publicly post that unless they had a lot of support requests related to it. So it's apparently a widespread issue.
Is that any more egregious than https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wickard_v._Filburn
I would be surprised to see even a single example of a person getting belligerent enough to a flight crew to get put on an airline's ban list, who then goes and does the exact same thing at another airline.

I would surmise that most people are going to be extremely regretful after the reality of the first incident sets in. And even those that somehow don't accept being in the wrong, are still going to realize that fighting another battle on a different plane isn't an effective path to their goal.

I'd say that making passenger bans more uniform is actually just another part of the trend of hyperreality that is causing hysteria in the first place.
Does it measure performance vs the market?

E.g. If I followed Nancy Pelosi's disclosed trades on the day that she disclosed them in accordance with her minimum allocations, I would outperform S&P 500 by 7.7% pa?

Btw, I think something is wrong with your calculations for Derek Kilmer. The poor chap is trading index funds and somehow is performing worse than just about anyone else.
trading is zero sum. The investor that sold the share would of sold the same share to another investor. The company isn't buying stock above market price (thus adding value to the system).

The company may stock buy back directly from employee's RSUs, which are taxed as income.
All corporate taxes combined make up only 7% of the federal government's revenue, and an even smaller percentage of federal spending.

We could end corporate taxes tomorrow and the treasury department would barely notice, but I can't help but imagine the efficiency gains that would ripple across the whole economy. There is so much productivity and human effort and brain power wasted that just goes into minimizing (and maximizing) the amount of tax paid by businesses. Not to mention the way it skews investment decisions.
Thanks for this context and history - very helpful.
You can't say "there was no difference in crime" with only a few months of data.

It's too noisy. There isn't enough data.
not to mention the increased sales from people ordering while high.
yeah i m talking about the case when it's a lie (which is what stossel claims). Also it seems the case you mention applies to public officials or people running for office, which doesnt seem to be the case here
I had this issue when using Windows but not on Linux. Sleep worked fine on Linux.
Wasn't that the plot of a scanner darkly?
Didn't Wickard v. Filburn set this precedent? Growing feed for animals on your own farm shouldn't affect interstate commerce significantly either, but it became the precedent.
Buyback programs are at the then-current publicly traded rates. They aren't generally at some magical premium, or else the whole trading price of the stock would go up even more.

Most people selling their shares in a company do not know who is on the buying side, and that is generally the case here. This goes for retail and institutional investors. And the buy-back programs are done slowly to avoid slippage, which can make it even harder to track down in the moment.

Someone who wanted to sell was selling anyway. They don't profit any more than their gains (or losses) already covered. The people who get "value" are the ones who did NOT sell their shares, and their "value" is only realized down the road when they do eventually sell.
One could say we've know how to convert CO2 into fuel from the time we first learned agriculture.
I've had nothing but problems with Apple's "Power Nap" functionality. I remember three discrete issues with my 2014 MBP (Quartz would randomly crash out of naps when connected to external displays, the topcase frequently felt mysteriously warm and my media controls would freak out forcing me to close spotify/firefox before closing it) Ironically, the only time I've seen it behaving as-intended was when I had my T460p running MacOS with photo analysis disabled. I'm guessing it's an ACPI issue, since Apple's track record with the technology is shaky.
Not defending it, but it has legal precedent going back much farther. Still an abomination.

The number one tax break they refer to is stock based comp. If companies paid their execs with cash (i.e. bonuses tied to share price or company performance) instead of shares, they'd have higher cash expense, and therefore wouldn't have those so called profits to tax in the first place. Such an obvious omission in this article indicates this is intentionally misleading.

The next two tax breaks (research and experimentation) and renewable energy seem worthwhile, and I'd guess popular on both sides of the isle.
>taxes while millionaires and corporations are not.

This lazy myth needs to die. I don't remember the exact statistics but the top 10% pay a huge share of taxes, and something like the bottom 50% pay next to nothing.
Tracing everyone's movement and life, and putting that into database, can be used for creating the perfect sims simulation :)
Anyway real time cam face recognition can be passed easily, som hat, sunglasses and the new classic - mask.
Using covid pass- will use someone else's qr, it doesn't have to allowed, but will be placed in that database like that person was there.
Also face recognition can be manipulated and used for targeted attacks. And selling info about someone's movement...well..."nothing to hide?" - everyone has something to hide, like from his wife...
I feel like the malice standard makes libel essentially impossible to prove in the US. Are there any cases where malice has been proven? I imagine they would have had to look at private conversations by the accused indicated that they really didn't like alleged victim or something.
Yes, it usually works on Mac. And then you get used to it working, which makes it even more frustrating when it doesn't work anymore ^^
While I sort of agree, I also think the reason this happens in the first place is because all US political entities play nice to the giants. There’s much talk about raising corporate tax, but that’s actually misplaced — if we fixed tax loopholes we could even go as far as to lower corporate tax for smaller corporations, which I think would be the proper approach.

But of course the political class is disincentivized to admit this.
Ah, an early compression algorithm.
I disagree, there is something special about this moment in time. We're in an insane inflection point of human development. For millions of years things stayed roughly the same. It's really only in the last 10,000 years that stuff has really kicked off, and the last 300 where human development has gone absolutely crazy. There's several existential threats that might destroy civilization over the next few hundred years (eventually a nuke is going to fall into the wrong hands, not to mention climate change etc).

There's a very good chance we're living the most comfortable lives that any creature on this planet will ever experience, past and future. It's truly mindblowing how lucky we are.

The more we do it the cheaper it'll get.
I used to think that but IMHO the biggest issue today is the growing wealth gap, and how did that gap get so big?

Ownership of companies, and more specifically people not getting their wealth from income but from share price appreciation.

Getting rid of corporat tax would only make this gap grown even wider and bring down the amount of tax that governments bring in.

it would be the worst of both worlds, decreased government revenue and wider wealth gap.
> Hey, do you think horse dewormer [...] cures the greatest health crisis of the 21st century,

Are you talking about ivermectin? It's not only a horse deworming, it's also a human deworming (and IIRC it's good for any vertebrate). Moreover, it's a very good human deworming, and it's used in a lot of countries.

Anyway, there is no good evidence of ivermectin as a cure or treatment of covid-19.
There are lots of them. In many places in Tibet I've seen them, especially in the old Kham area, they were all over the place. The Tibetans believe it's prove of the depth of meditation that one can put the hand in the rock.

Which would only make sense if you were trying to initiate the currently deferred glacial epoch.
Yep, the XPS 9500 and 9700 series with a discrete GPU cannot to s3 sleep.

It's because Intel have been incrementally removing support for s3 sleep, it's completely gone in the latest Tigerlake chips.

Linux s2idle support for modern Intel low CPU package power states is still pretty rough which is why you'll get a good chunk of power drain still.
What an asinine question. Shame on you.

I remember an earlier article on Terraserver [1] where they made an interesting observation that each morning when the east coast woke up the corresponding DC would get a rise in temperature.

And that their logs clearly showed that the first thing anyone looked at was where they lived, where they shopped and other things near them.

So my interpretation was that Microsoft back then were so focused on showing off their SQL server that they didn't even understand the treasure of personal data they had in their hand.

I've had the opposite experience with Macbooks. WiFi randomly dropping out, battery dying overnight while the laptop is closed, external display settings not being persisted, randomly switching from my external microphone to the built-in one halfway through a call... Sometimes reading through these threads I feel like the only person in the world who has somehow had three faulty Macbooks in a row.

I've now had three generations of XPS 13 with Ubuntu. They're not perfect (the battery drains over 3 or 4 days instead of overnight) but overall my experience has been much better.
How does that work for corporations that have a lot of non-US employees? That would in effect be a massive tax break for them because only a subset of their employees are paying the higher/new VAT tax.
"people that aren’t intelligent and/or have impulsivity issues have a hard time holding down jobs"

So why does the US have more of this? All of these descriptions ignore that America is seemingly the worst place out of everywhere for this? Why?
If there were no investigation, they couldn't legally use that FOIA rejection reason. They'd have to give a different reason.
