The pyramids you're talking about are in Norte Chico, the Peruvian coast of South America. South American chronology firmly establishes a pretty continuous history from those early countries down through the Wari culture, which was the chief Andean empire at the time of the Viking visits to Vinland (most people are only familiar with their successor culture, the Inca).

Shifting to Mesoamerica, we're in the very early Postclassic--Teotihuacan has been abandoned, and Maya dominance is shifting from the Guatemalan Highlands to the Yucatan Peninsula. These cultures also built large megalithic structures.

In North America proper, 1000 correlates with the height of the Mississippian cultures, which are noted for their use of large earthen, not lithic structures. This is about when Cahokia is building Monk's Mound for example. Going further northeast across the Appalachians is difficult for me to come across firmer chronology, because the narrative is dominated by the setup of Native Americans at the time of English settlement (~1600 and later), which isn't the same as that at the time of Viking settlement (~1000-1100). Although it is worth pointing out that Viking settlement is roughly the time that the Dorset culture is being replaced by the Thule culture that makes up the modern Inuit.

As for trade routes, there are pretty well-established trade routes linking many of these places. Mexico's Pacific Coast and the US Southwest cultures seems to have pretty strong trade routes with the Andean coastline regions, and metallurgy probably diffused along that route. It's also thought that there was extensive contact between the Andean highlands and the Amazon river basin, and there are some tentative suggestions that the lineage of pottery in Mississippian and antecedent Southeastern cultures comes from the Amazon via the Caribbean. But Mesoamerica and the US Southwest are somewhat insulated from Mississippian and Southeastern cultures by large desert and semidesert regions, and most notably, corn takes an awfully long time to make its way from Mesoamerica into the eastern US, first showing up only around 1000.

I'd be more likely to point to Inuksuk [1] as a basis for large stone construction known to the Vikings than stone pyramids existing very, very remotely along the trading routes.

there's no deliberately crafted misinformation in my comment. It's a simple and straightforward evaluation of the reliable evidence we have so far.

Markland is the Norse name for the Americas (probably should be stated more clearly in the article). So yes the description could be completely imagined, but this is evidence that word of the continent was gossiped from the Norse cultures to Italy.
Are there reputable places where people can share the IPs tripping fail2ban? Like spamhaus.org, but for scanners?
What mob? It's one guy that violently took a sign from a woman (at least that's what can be seen in the video) and broke the sign. Nobody was hurt and the victim didn't even press charges. Most people seem to be minding their own business and getting out of the way.

So not much to see there. Except a way for people that disagree with the protestors to reinforce their stereotypes or the daily fix of anger over nothing for tabloid readers?
Way to prove my point. Cotton-rich areas tried to hold on to slavery.

Areas with steam-friendly industries (Britain, Northeast USA) converted to steam and got rid of slavery.

No, they couldn't. This is pretty evident on the political issue that the Bishops have most aggressively tried to tell people what stance to take, abortion, where Catholic attitudes are nonetheless split just like the broader country.

EU has a massive problem of dysfunctional regulations, this just adds more to the mix.

As the obvious example, the EU leader in solar is Germany, while solar is almost non existent in Spain. Spain by contrast has a lot of wind turbines in spots with poor/mediocre generation availability.
I'm beginning to suspect that in addition to Cloudflare fanbois who'll downvote anything that paints Cloudflare in a bad light, Cloudflare may even have bots of their own. There're just too many downvoters to be explained by simple fanbois.

I get that some companies have fans, and I get that some of those fans become fanbois - fans regardless of the truth, with a ridiculous us-versus-them mentality. But I seriously doubt there are enough to explain what we see here on HN.

It'd be nice if Cloudflare weren't such assholes. They refuse to answer questions directly, they intentionally use form responses to be vague and uncommunicative when it suits them, and they clearly don't care about doing the right thing. They COULD be a much better company if they just communicated without being smug assholes.

Even a straightforward answer that isn't what we want to hear, like, "These are our VPN endpoints, and we have no plans to do anything about VPN customers who are attempting to brute force ssh." would still make it easy for us to respect Cloudflare. Instead, they facilitate abuse, ignore abuse complaints, and refuse to communicate, which, at least in my opinion, makes them assholes.
>Churches are usually very "local", and "local" stuff is usually the ones that resists the most immigration.

This is not how churches should work and how they work. Religion can't be non-inclusive and accepting poor souls of migrants, regardless of their religion is humanitarian trait which is also considered equivalent of being Christian, according to how Christians are taught. Islam takes inclusion to even higher level and development of non-Arabic identity is considered corruption of religion(exception is to Arabic, because Quran is written in it). They do not take migrants, because migration is another sham and if rich nonIslamic countries have decided to take care of them without requirements to receive this support, then they are only bringing problems upon themselves.

Also, lets not forget that Christianity birthed revolutionaries of Europe(at least in eastern part), as it is impossible to make global terrorists from local minded people, it takes Large idea to start to kill other people in the name of one happy united brotherhood of mankind.

For those who have a hard time understanding what I am refering to - Stalin was studying to be a priest, his comrades of that time and 20 years prior mostly came from very religious Christian families, who were more religious and who shunned local "pagan" traditions more than other people. When people lose roots that are string together with traditions, they start to participate in crazy experiments with themselves and other people.
My theory is that it was mostly out of a fear of nuclear weapons. You see the same thing these days with animal right activists trying to push vegetarians/vegans diet with environmentals claims. And some of them are true, of course. But some of them are not totally true, or false, and are pushed because of their moral values.
> The British government sometimes bought as much as 30 per cent of newspaper advertising space.

That's interesting.

Possibly some would argue that was a "market failure", soap manufacturers should have stepped up. Therefore nationalise the newspapers, etc.
It is necessary to develop these type of technology, All Government should invest in this technology.
My secret weapon against the 35 pounds that I keep at bay is to get two solid half days of manual labor a week. I'm not highly skilled so I just offer neighbors to help with their projects. Digging out a pool, building a deck, cleaning up on a job site, roofing, cutting firewood. Anything. Along the way, I learn new skills, have fun with a few people, keep their project cost down, and often take some pride in the project when it's done. I bring a half gallon of iced tea, lightly salted and lemoned.

My other routine elements are pretty common:

Walk as often as possible with notebook

Stop eating by 7pm and don't break the fast until about noon

Don't let my enemy foods in the house. I'm looking at you Sr. Oreo!

I also have a score card in .txt, along with Convict Conditioning for days I don't have any labor. I look for 10 sets and a nice walk.

Lastly, if I'm doing all this, I don't beat myself up when the Oreos do show up and I manage to clean them out in a matter of hours. Resistance is futile - don't blame yourself.
The term "decentralized stablecoins" itself precludes the USD-pegged voucher tokens you're referring to.

I'm talking about things like Reflexer's RAI[1], which is designed to have stable value independently of any singular currency, and whose most centralized component is price oracles (so not very centralized).

If you make a product then why not run the GPL code as a background application and you send it commands on what to speak? It would be fair to contribute back any improvements if you would able to add to the GPL stuff.
Neat.

How many of the solution programs were originally hand-written vs machine generated from other known solutions or actually "mined"? Reading through https://github.com/loda-lang/loda-cpp/blob/main/miners.defau..., it seems like the "template" for each generator could have been minted one way or another. I'm a little curious now...

It's kinda fun to see a program minimizer in ~200LoC++, but I wonder what other optimization tricks would be worth implementing for the purposes of integer sequence search? I wonder if it would be worth wiring up a proper compiler framework? Or are there other projects that already do this kind of thing faster?

Instead of just "matching" it might be cool to sort these solutions by similarity and then compare that to the similarity of the sequences themselves.

Finally, given that the OEIS databases exists with "FORMULA" (on every entry?), wouldn't it be faster to just parse that? Maybe you'd find some bugs?
We are really really close to a solution, and for the one thing that nuclear is hyped to provide--clean electricity--we have cheaper and easier and more scalable solutions than nuclear.

The challenges we have now with decarbonization are not solved by cheap electricity. The challenges I'm talking about are industrial and chemical processes, transitioning transport quickly enough, freight, aviation, agriculture, etc. these all require specific new technologies beyond cheap electricity.

It would have been great if nuclear had worked out, but it was always overhyped and it always underdelivered. We were told it would be cheap, but it often had ridiculously expensive construction delays, leading to financial disasters. This happened in the 1970s and even today.

It's time to stop mythologizing the technology, stop blaming the false boogeymen, and realize that at its heart the technology requires an excessive amount of piping, concrete, and machinery all to generate heat to make steam to move a turbine. It's a theoretically cheap heat source, but when you add in the engineering to capture the heat to boil water, it's not so cheap in reality, and there's been no innovation on making the engineering more elegant or cheaper in decades. In fact, if anything, it's gotten less elegant, more expensive, and even harder to build.

>someone driving a priceless exotic like a '69 Boss Mustang V8 could end up paying less tax and insurance than your Average Joe middle classer pays on his 10 year old 1.6L family econobox.

lol. It's funny to think of them as a 'priceless exotic' as those cars are basically mass produced items with an engine option.

Let's consider the cost. A decent Boss 429 is probably around $250k-$300k. The sales tax in California is around 10 percent, about $2k/year for the license, $4-$5/gallon for gas at around 8 mpg, collector car insurance at roughly 1% of stated value.
There's also pico2wave (libttspico), which, to me, with the "-l=en-GB" flag, sounds the best by far of any offline TTS that I've tried.

No, we're actually (thankfully) a lot better at that than 15th Century Europe.
So the barrier is in the code or is it not?
The amount of carbon in solid form on our planet is enormous.

If we get into a deficit, we just get some rocks and convert them.
Not sure if you're arguing from an epistemological or objective basis, but I'll assume the latter.

We know that our knowledge better describes the results we reliably reproduce in the world around us.

We have knowledge about things that our ancestors did not.

If that doesn't constitute "knowing more than they did," I'm not sure what does.
I'm wouldn't bet the house on this ever seeing the light of day. Geely is carrying a lot of debt and most of it's IP is outside of China. The Chinese government is imposing debt ratio limits mostly in the house building sector but it's across the Chinese economy. When dealing with Chinese companies the real debt levels are always higher than the published figures. In addition the Chinese government is pressurising Chinese companies to bring it's IP into China where the government has full control. The risk/reward proflie changes dramatically when you no longer have independent courts.
I'm not disagreeing with you. I think you should follow the licenses of whatever software you're shipping, whether that software is closed-source proprietary software or open source, or something else.

Unfortunately many companies seem to think that because they downloaded the software for free from the internet, they don't need to care about what the license text says. And if they disregard what some random person on the internet whines about them not following some license, a lawsuit seems perfectly in order.

Now one could argue, as Landley seems to be doing, that a permissive license is more attractive to corporations as there is less risk that some mistake somewhere along the way gets them sued. Then one can of course counter that argument by asking whether such users are beneficial to open source in the longer term, or is the open source community just a bunch of suckers doing free work for corporations without getting anything in return.
Thanks, but did you think any of them are attractive?

> Americans generally seem unaware of all of these special relationships.

Unsurprising, since these are about government-to-government relationships, and a large subset of Americans make ignorance of government a matter of personal pride.

If you think about this, this too is just an economic motive. The cost of non-compliance (fines, prosecution, etc) multiplied by the risk of that happening is less than the cost of compliance, so it happens.

People and companies break laws all the time when it's cheaper to do so.

I can't help but think of Fight Club [1].

In some European countries, the gas infrastructure currently deployed is probably sufficient to support the transition to green energy. In others - generally poorer Eastern European ones that are currently dependent on coal - it really isn't. The controversy is over whether the EU and those countries' governments should help change that.
I remember I was doing an internship when the iPhone came out. Several of the people there had bought apple stock in anticipation of the iPhone’s announcement and then sold afterwards to turn a quick profit. As you suggest, in retrospect letting it ride for 15 more years would have been far superior.
> I have heard several times that Ferrari was behind with the electric conversion

They are not technically behind, it is a political choice, the mother company (FCA) decided not to pursue that road for the time being (around 2016).

Specifically the CEO Sergio Marchionne who also was CEO of Ferrari S.p.a.

That was probably a wrong bet on his side, but knowing the guy and his talent in business, he would have probably fixed the situation if he had not died suddenly in 2018. Those who took his place are not as good as he was (I'm only referring to the skills as businessmen of course)

The goal should be to find the truth. Not “hold China accountable”. We can’t punish people for crimes we can’t prove they committed.
Did you even read the article or did you just knee-jerk type your insightful thoughts:

> In December 2012 and January 2013, various news organizations, including Reuters, reported that Skycom offered to sell “embargoed” equipment from a U.S. computer equipment manufacturer in Iran in potential violation of U.S. export controls law, and that Huawei had close ties with Skycom

And the outcome was pretty muted with a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (i.e. a nothing happens agreement):

> Under the terms of the DPA, Meng has agreed to the accuracy of a four-page statement of facts that details the knowingly false statements she made to Financial Institution 1. Meng also has agreed not to commit other federal, state or local crimes. If Meng breaches the agreement, she will be subject to prosecution of all the charges against her in the third superseding indictment filed in this case

edit: to make it more obvious, it wasn't just close ties, Huawei wholly owned Skycom via a subsidary and then tried to hide that ownership by "selling" it's shares to another company (which also was a Huawei subsidary)

* Sell you ads

It sounds like a joke, but for those not following online discussions of what's considered out of bounds opinions, it's hard to keep up.
These requests are not unreasonable in organisations that only need to run some simple (from a mathematical standpoint) operations against a complex (from an IT perspective) dataset. Quite often you don't need a full time statistician or mathematician, but you can make it a full time job if you hire a sysadmin or a developer that understand statistical distributions and hypothesis testing, and you put them in charge of the whole data infrastructure.

I'm not saying this is the majority of data scientists jobs, but in some organisations I worked for the data analyst was a guy that run `SELECT MIN(v), MAX(v) AVG(v) from TableX` against a MySql DB, so they were also in charge of DB administration and data ingestion, otherwise it would not have been a full time job.

Serendipity is sadly an endangered experience with today's popularity algorithms. If every suggestion you see is based on what you and people with similar behavior as you are most likely to click, then what you get is a rut. The things you discover may be things you haven't seen before, but they can hardly be called new.

The beautiful thing about flipping through a magazine, or browsing a library, is that everyone gets the same options regardless of who they are. It allows me, someone who isn't into a particular thing, to discover that thing. To accidentally read something I wouldn't have thought I agreed with, and discover that they actually made a decent point.

I think these types of popularity algorithms are deeply problematic.
I agree. A huge GCP VPS with a good GPU attached is very inexpensive when you only start it when you are in a work sprint.

Just this week I have been experimenting with SageMaker and SageMaker Studio. Too early for a real evaluation, but it looks like SageMaker Studio hits many requirements: good for experimenting, run large distributed jobs, good model and code versioning tools, easy to publish REST APIs, etc. Just yesterday someone asked me to review 3rd party tools, and I look forward to getting a better understanding of how SageMaker Studio stacks up against turn-key systems.

I have built my career from standing on the shoulders of giants. I am not shy about just using the results in academic papers, using open source libraries, tools and frameworks, etc. that other people have written.

So, I agree with you that so much can be done on a single beefy VPS, but services and frameworks that allow easy use of multiple servers are also important.
Storing it purely as a numerical offset isn't enough, because you need to know the location. Does DST apply? When does DST start? Did DST exist in 1971? Will DST exist next year? Will it be DST next week? I'm not sure what you intended with "DST-2" in your proposed format exactly, but you really need a database for these things since there isn't a universal agreement on these things. Maybe there ought to be, but there isn't so we'll have to deal with that.

Plus countries change timezones. I can set it to "+8:00" and in two years my country changes its timezone and now the stored information (and thus my time) is incorrect. We also need to know on which date the change takes effect, because showing the wrong time for tomorrow or next week would otherwise show the wrong time.

I actually store timezones as "<country>.<zone>". e.g. NL.Europe/Amsterdam. This is because users select the country first in the UI (rather than a zone), and this way it will always be clear which country the user selected. It would be confusing at best, and potentially offensive, to show a different country later.
