Since well-endowed universities seem to do so much better than the broader market, and since cost of attending university (in the US) seems to grow so much faster than broader inflation, I was imagining an interesting product the other day to take advantage of this.

Imagine if universities sold an investment product that guaranteed a small, market-linked return (indexed, or inflation-linked, or whatever), with the additional feature that the product could instead be exchanged for tuition credits in the future at an alternate rate linked to the growth in tuition cost at that college. The intention is that a parent who thinks their child may attend that school can reasonably by "future tuition credits" with zero or low cost compared to other investment of those funds even if realizing the risk of their child attending a different/no university; the child can attend at least one university at a reduced and hopefully more manageable rate; and the university can increase their endowment both with the float, and by keeping the difference between their historically better returns than the guaranteed rate.

Does this make sense as a financial product?
It must be said that, to the extent Google destroyed their startup, it also created it by launching an app store. This developer built their apps on top of Google's ecosystem, in a world where these kinds of executions have happened before, many times, to many frustrated developers.

It is true that developers cannot make their own operating system and marketplace to compete with Google's, but it's also true that they do not need to get into the business of selling games on Google's Play Store in the first place. Equally true is the fact that Google is known to be an unfair, capricious, uncommunicative, and disinterested landlord.
1. The last update added support for the page up, page down and home keys. That should make it easier to get back to the top.

2. Do you mean loading more posts when you reached the end of the list? This will also be added in one of the next few updates.

Thank you!
Jews do share genes that can be used to easily identify, every genetic check company can do it easily. Especially Jews from the same group like Ashkenazi Jews, but also across the Jewish diaspora. One exception are the Ethiopian Jews who don't share those markers and are probably mostly converts. So genetics could be a dominant feature here although those type of things are hard to prove.
There are still very old trains in circulation on all sorts of lines in Japan, but I heard that 20-25 years is the baseline life expectancy for rolling stock. It is very good for business and for trainspotters.
Interesting. What country is that? (sorry too lazy to search your comment history for clues)
How do you think Coraline saw this information? I spread it. She just took the brave step of actually trying to get that psycho off an important community project. All I did was gossip.

> If Coraline feels bullied or harrassed

She's gotten death threats. Doxed. Anything relating to codes of conduct will immediately bring her up, likely lying about the situation or her intentions. There is zero good faith discussion going on in this thread.

Her attempting to remove a toxic person from a community should not result in this hate, yet here you are, without all the facts, deciding she deserves it.

Just obliterate this community from the sky.
Conpanies like Nissan have reliable EVs that have been there for a while (the Leaf). However they make more profit selling petrol-powered SUVs, so the dealers don't promote them.

When I tried to buy my Leaf, the sales guy tried to get me to buy another model, and a month after buying the car, I was getting spam for a Pathfinder (monster SUV).

I also see a lot of WV e-Golfs on the road, and Chevy Bolts. I don't know how reliable they are (Chevy have battery problems), but I think there definitely is competition.
If that’s the case it really seems like some scammers got their just deserts. Ironically, an example of Google’s policies working well.

This is a question of semantics, but I don't understand your usage of "purely".

How can it not be "purely" brake by wire, if, when depressing the brake pedal, the friction brakes are not always triggered?

If electronics decide not to apply hydraulic force when everything is going fine, that there must be a potential failure mode where they ignore the pedal inappropriately.

Can you explain further?
A democracy does not work the same as a human brain trying to prevent an accident. It works with compromises and majorities. Therefore my point still stands.
Very aptly put.
Consciousness doesn't really exist universally as a concept. It's purely a human thing.

For example music. Music is just a series of sounds patterned in a specific way. Not any pattern of sound can be music but a pattern of sound following a very specific set of thousands of human centric rules that are too complex to formalize represents music. A formalization certainly exists but writing it down or deducing these rules would result in something that's 10000 pages long. These rules are completely arbitrary and a product of biological evolution. Music in a sense is just a made up category of immense complexity but the key point remains the same. The category is made up and completely arbitrary.

The same can be said of consciousness. It's just a certain type of intelligence that posseses thousands of attributes that are too numerous in number to fully write down. Like music, the rules defining consciousness are arbitrary. It doesn't represent anything fundamental about the universe it's just a word very specific to the human experience.

This trying to understand intelligence through the "lens" of consciousness is a biased and erroneous venture. It's more an exploration of human biology then it is an investigation of a foundational universal theory of logic and intelligence.
It seems to be you who has an idealised and unrealistic idea of the time and complexity of producing specifications and going from specification to a taped-out chip to a chip you can buy at Digikey. Most companies do this whole process behind closed doors and the first you hear about new features is when it is announced that the products incorporating them are in stores today or next month.

As RISC-V extensions are developed using a cooperative process between domain experts at dozens of different companies and educational or scientific institutions it is obviously impossible and unproductive to attempt to do this in secret.

You can't buy a chip with the B extension because the B extension isn't ratified yet so anyone who claimed to make a B-compatible chip would be taking a risk that the spec might change incompatibly before ratification. The spec was frozen in June and the 45 day Public Comment phase was held in June/July. As far as I know, no issues were raised. The extension (actually three of them, covering different areas) will be ratified before the end of the year, along with several others including V.

That's obviously a very short time scale compared to making a chip. Any chip you can buy now would have been taped out in 2019 or the first part of 2020.

RISC-V is very new. If you want to ignore it until 2023 then feel free. Others find it useful how it is now.
Right now there is a one hour idle timeout, then it will shutdown and close the indexedDB. The reason is it is quite possible to have too many tabs lying around and I am not comfortable to have many tabs writing the same indexedDB.

Periodic polling will not work on mobile anyhow. It is better just to refresh the tab by hand.

The Apple Inc quest to generate and endlessly increase services revenue is the literal cancer that is killing Apple's former 30+ year obsession with customer delight.

A brand new $1500 iPhone Pro will try to hustle you with ads for $2/mo or something for cloud storage upgrades.

I'm certainly not an expert, but the Wikipedia article covers this as well:

> it is unusual for a prion disease to transmit from one species to another.

So I'd expect the risk to be higher when dealing with human remains.

There is a notable exception to this general rule:

> Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, however, is thought to be caused by a prion that typically infects cattle, causing bovine spongiform encephalopathy and is transmitted through infected meat

The other problem (mentioned by another poster) is that just because someone didn't die of a prion disease doesn't mean they aren't harboring prions because the incubation period is 5 - 20 years.

General comment: the risk may very well end up being low, but I would personally prefer to avoid consuming plants that were grown on composted human brain or spinal material to lower my personal risk.
I've been a single dad the entire time ... and still squeezed in that much Cracktorio

First of all, I applaud you for squeezing that much into your life. I honestly think that's awesome.

re single Dad and Cracktorio: my wife calls it Divorcio. So I see how those go together. :)
You have to understand that there is some risk working on social causes versus turning the gears of a money machine. If there weren't any risk, everyone would be working on online learning or curing cancer instead of figuring out how to shave off a nanosecond in an automated trading system or getting newspaper readers to click one more ad.

I work at a startup, and most of our code is open source. That makes the job more enjoyable, but I also realize it comes with a risk. Someone could just read the code, take the best parts, and sell and market it better than us. That's a risk that you just have to live with. And, I can personally mitigate some of the risks -- keep my technical skills sharp, save money, etc.

I empathize with the people that lost their job; it's a huge disruption and their lives will never be the same. But I think it's unfair to blame the CEO for climate change because he enjoyed going for a walk in the rain. It's not related in any way.

Ask HN: Why DON'T you invest in cryptocurrencies?
Basically the title. I am curious why folks decide to not put their money into this space.

This thread says it all for me:
https://twitter.com/RealNatashaChe/status/1444014735716851714

Disclosure: I have 99% of my net worth in cryptocurrencies since 2017. Even "cashing out" is hard since I can't find a sector or company which has better future growth expectations from these levels than the crypto space.

I basically bought real estate and left the rest in, even with the high volatility, since currently I cant seem to find a space which is more valuable than this.
> that you can censor anything on IA, retroactively, by updating robots.txt.

IA claims to have fixed that, and it's been a couple years since I've caught them respecting robots.txt. If you have examples of them respecting robots.txt more recent than, say, 2018... citation please? This was a serious problem in the past, but I had hoped (and believed) it was no longer a thing.

(I'm deliberately avoiding saying "They don't do that anymore.", since it's a low-probability, high-impact event, and I may just not have encountered it, but complying with robots.txt would be a really vile thing for a supposed library to do.)
Looking at their App Brain page, they are 3 year old company as claimed. You can look at their games here: https://www.appbrain.com/dev/6Ace+Games/

Keep in mind that the check done inside an iPhone doesn't prevent the failure mode you describe. After all the phone only checks the microcontroller attached to the battery, not the actual cells(if that's even possible in any way).

Very much not. Complicated MCUs are a very risky single vendor supply, and as we see now, people are now paying for an engineering overkill.

74xxx are available in every shape, and form, from dozens of suppliers.
Of course not but restricting fundamental rights should be the last thing we try. Not the first.

Gitea supports web-based wikis that are git repos on the backend.

Above 30V - 50V DC, contact arcing becomes a huge problem. (It's a problem below that, but less huge.)

With AC, the arc will self-extinguish a half-cycle after the switch opens. With DC there is no cycle, and contacts can be completely vaporised in tens of milliseconds.

Commodity switching components are usually rated "30V DC, 250V AC" for this reason.

It is possible to design switches so that even DC arcs self-extinguish, but the result is expensive and not as reliable as one could wish.

If cars had been invented after 1980, they would probably use solid-state switches except for the very high current circuits such as the starter solenoid and headlights. (Transistors were around a lot earlier than that, but engineers are sensibly cautious about new technologies.)

Edit: To answer your question directly: no. Cost is prime.
Not only that, but tv and radio have done more than their fair share of damage. I remember 'heroine chic' a la Ally McBeal, had a sister deal with it anorexia over it.

They have been evil.

Facebook and Instagram have been so much worse it would have been inconceivable to me had I not seen it with my own eyes.

Youtube has done its share too, with exploitative kids videos and every kid wanting to become a youtuber.

We need regulation on all of this shit 20 years ago.
The point is that you shouldn't need to be an authorized repairer to purchase a replacement screen from Apple. I don't need to be an official Volvo dealership to purchase any replacement part for my Volvo, as long as I know the part number I can easily buy the OEM part or a replacement and Volvo has no way to stop me.
It is a fundamental problem (it's physics). The current rating for relays drops off sharply as the DC voltage increases; you might see 125 V DC rating, but the current will be a fraction of the nominal current at the rated AC voltage. If you're using an relay rated for up to 250 VAC/DC, then the breaking capacity with DC might be as low as 1 % compared to AC. Bad relay datasheets don't mention this at all, or maybe only for 30 V. Good datasheets have plots of capacity vs. voltage and current vs. life (rated capacity of relays is generally for around 100k cycles).

Carrier geolocation is there whether you like it or not and at this point I think legislation is the only solution to making location logs illegal to keep for governments and companies. It's not really being created by your smartphone but more like observed by the carriers cell phone towers so they can do handoffs and a side effect of how the network layer works.

Also stuff like iBeacon is pretty much impossible to avoid, it still works even when bluetooth is completely turned off. I got an iBeacon based alert when I walked into an apple store with bluetooth turned off for example, and there is no setting to turn off iBeacon tracking.

Google is worse in other ways, it's incredibly infuriating.

The Industrial Environmental Complex knows best. Make sure you give them power. Make sure you give them clicks. Make sure you give them your dollars.

Don't give you dollars or clicks or power to the industries that have almost wiped out death and destruction from the climate. Screw their proven track record. Also don't give anything to repairing the current environment, they are local and out of the Industrial Environmental Complex's controls.

Millions of extra people each year move to flood zones [1]. Not the magical 'one day' climate change flood zones. For thousands of years have flooded, flood zones. It's almost like humans can adapt, it's almost like tech is solving real problems. If we can destroy the environmental movement we might also be able to repair the environment at a faster pace as well.

That's correct. There aren't enough physical cores to do all cells in parallel. A 1000x1000 grid would have 1M cells. These are virtual computing units. Conceptually there are 1M virtual computing units, one per cell. The thousands of physical cores take on the cells one batch at a time until all of the cells are run. In fact multiple cores can run the code of one cell in parallel. E.g. for-loop is unrolled and each core takes on a different branch of the for-loop. The scheduling of the cores to virtual computing units is like the OS scheduling CPUs to different processes.

Most instructions have no inter-dependency between cells. These instructions can be executed by a core as fast as it can on one computing unit until an inter-dependent instruction like dFdx is encountered that requires syncing. The computing unit is put in a wait state while the core moves on to another one. When all the computing units are sync'ed up at the dFdx instruction, they're then executed by the cores batch by batch.
There is some minor breakage, like Apple CPUs enforcing the VHE feature of ARMv8.1-A to be on, and not supporting it being off. But that was like… the sole issue on that front.

What you are allowed to do is make extensions with the highest tier of arch licenses, you however cannot break the ISA.
It's broken on Android as well in Chrome. It's horrendous. Just....why. Leave the default scroll as-is.
