Facebook pushing this reminds me of the time they gaslighted the news media into producing short form video.

The difference is you can't even get a decent dev kit for AR consumer applications. Other applications are proceeding just fine: the US Army bought a Hololens 2 for each and every soldier, you can use an AR headset to view maintenance manuals on a jet engine when you are inside it, view the plans for a construction site when you are at the construction site, etc.

Other applications produce enough value from the headset to justify the cost (how much money can you lose if you screw up a concrete pour?) but consumer apps struggle against TV sets, smartphones, video game consoles and other mature technologies.

I like the theme that some video game technologies are going to "break out". Specifically I see people working on "social robots" in the adjacent building to my office and it seems that they could take the same sensors and software and have it control the actions of a video game character rather than a custom-built machine.

But NFTs? That's something that drives good people away. I've gotten into what I call "subartistic" activity in the last year. A big part of it is the desire to make physical objects, but also I am really not so good at it and to get better at it I want to connect (or not) connect with people based on the merit of the work.

If I got involved with NFTs I could find "friends" who think my farts are music so long as they are part of an NFT; if I can make them believe they can sell them to a greater fool, all the better.

That's not what I want or need.
My layman's understanding is this: having a single dominant industry like finance causes high demand for the pound, raising the price. This is terrible for exports, as producing industries have to compete with countries with more beneficial exchange rates. This is also known as Dutch disease.
My feeling with those territories is that they should vote to either become proper regions of the UK along with MPs or go fully independent.

AFAIK they don't contribute to the UK finances directly, but do take advantage of things like UK defence spending and are effectively protected from international regulations by being part of the UK for those purposes.

By way of recommendation: I reach for protobufs to do data interchange between polyglot systems and have yet to be disappointed. Even if you aren't getting into gRPC, having data interchange backed by codegen and an IDL removes a lot of the risk you get with data interchange.

Yeah, this is meaningless. Show me data where increased saliency of climate change actually reduces children born 9 months later. Otherwise the rule from economics applies here: "talk is cheap".
Woah is sun exposure a trigger all by itself? I almost always get a headache if I've been outside all day, but I always assumed it was a second order effect like being outside makes it harder to get enough liquids so I was dehydrated. Or heat stroke.

If your game plan is to die out, how smart are you really? It's literally the Darwin Awards on mass scale.
> Why would you want to use a non-intrusive doubly-linked list?

Or you have a list of objects with many references to parts inside the list and you want to rearrange those parts from those references at O(1) speed.

Lets say I have pointers two elements A and B in the list. I now want to say that B should come after A, I can do this easily in O(1) time with this with no overhead and all references sees this update instantly. Lets say I put integers in these so the data is embedded in the list. You have many other places referring to elements inside the list and you want those references to track the objects position.

How would you solve this using a Rust compatible data structure?

> The question is fair.

No it is not. Experienced people almost surely knows their use case better than you do.

> there exists no hardware you can buy for which you can measure a performance difference between ref-counting and not ref-counting.

Are you kidding me? Seriously, I don't see how you could believe this unless you never tried to use ref counting to replace other code and compare the performance difference.
Quite the opposite. Brexit has removed the UK government's ability to veto EU regulation on tax shelters.
Panel: The Correct Number of Microservices for a System Is 489
We don't need special tests and metrics to point us that this is still relevant. We know it is, and no, nothing has changed since.

Beyond this particular case, this is a social link-voting website. If people submit and vote for an older article, it will be in the front page, end of story. Doesn't matter if it still holds or not - it's enough that people found it still interesting to submit and upvote. Some of the better discussions here happen the nth time the same post is on the front page (and some posts get on the top page 5-10 times in a decade). There's also a handy link on HN to show previous submissions of the same post, and the discussions that ensued.
Okay sorry got the wrong.

Cheap places are a false economy in my experience.
I am east of the rockies.

And yes, there is a lot of land, but it’s all owned by somebody, and most of it is not up for sale. Ranches, farms, and government owned land makes up, well, all of it.

What is for sale could (and likely will) go up in price as demand increases. Also, you may be overestimating how many people are willing to live in the sticks. The lack of essentials (and non-essentials) without driving for miles is a bit of an acquired taste.
Once the number of live microservices exceeds some number (say 100) there is little guidance on how they are to be managed.
Even though these are just shoes, there is something really freaky about images generated in this way. Makes me feel really uneasy.
Ignoring the merits of whether or not it’s a good idea to have kids due to climate change: I feel like the author doesn’t appropriately consider the cascading effects of climate change.

Kids aren’t in my present life plan (I’m too young atm) but I can already see that the biggest barrier to kids in my future right now is just the extreme wealth inequality and rising costs of having children. Compound that with an inevitable climate migration that will shift the balance of wealth in the USA, and you’re likely to see greater difficulties for new middle-income families (who are, as the author notes, still among the most privileged on the planet).

Furthermore, the real effects of climate change that our children are likely to have great difficulties with, in my mind, are ecological destruction and the eradication of micro-ecosystems leading to global calamity with food. I feel, without much evidence to support it, that we’re likely to see a spectrum of symptoms that lead to targeted devastation and mass-death of various species. It’s not any one of those things, it’s everything all at once.

Now, I love the argument that this all is not a reason to not bring in kids because we will need bright, young minds to dream and live futures that we won’t get to have. And that gives me hope, which is something we should all allow ourselves to have.
Part of the problem is that there's at least half-a-dozen high quality answers out of the gate (gRPC, FlatBuffers, Protocol Buffers, XML in some cases, Thrift), and an even-longer long tail after that. It's made harder when four different teams who deeply loathe JSON and independently decide to use something "better" can legitimately use four completely different technologies if they don't communicate with each other.
That's great to hear :D hopefully you'll try out Python sometime.
Well, it is how I have always understood, I... and others I know. I do not see a discontinuity, when looking at the dictionary either.

Maybe your local area / country has co-opted it, to only mean a subset?

If you look at the dictionary, I think you'll see that it is not defined as 'radical' or 'extremist' only.

What is your objection to my usage? How do you see it misused?

Anecdata, but:

I have kids, but I worry about their future every day and had the decision point about having them come five years later, I think we almost certainly would not have had kids.
Smartest thing to do would be to allow the US Navy to run and operate land based nuclear reactors based on their technology. Build good will for the Navy and maybe use the money to finance their operations. They've operated miniature nuclear reactors for decades without a single incident. They seem to be decades ahead of the public sector in terms of technology

> Are all reasons that you'd expect to hear. Citing climate change as a reason seems unreal.

The difference between climate change and the other things you cited is that "climate change" is easily externalized. "I can't have kids because of my unresolved issues I should be working on" implies a burden of action. "The world is ending because other people suck" is a much more ego-saving answer.
I was mostly writing this comment just so I could continue the comical tendency for 'ideological' to get more and more misspelt every time it was used.

That said, I don't think I agree with this idea that the dominant ideology is no ideology at all. It seems a bit like the tendency to think that one's own accent is no accent at all.
My response to this: privacy is a right.

Trying to build a fair and equitable world using a tax system that relies on knowledge of everyone's finances is not only doomed to fail but also abhorrent because it denies privacy except to the rich and powerful.

The obvious place to start with an alternative is land value tax. The Georgists have the right idea.

So make local friends and trust your neighbors. Be part of the community. And periodically visit the extended family. We live a five-hour drive from family and it's the closest to them that we've ever been. This isn't ideal but it certainly works.
I have not read the book, but one line in the review caught my attention:

I value free time over money, but, from what I can tell from the article, it seems that the author seems to believe that hunter/gatherer societies have a lot of “free time” on their hands.

I’d suggest taking a quick shufti through some documentaries about life in hunter/gatherer societies.

Dynamic Styling in Vue.js
The Shadow Penal System for Struggling Kids
I disagree (at least mostly).

This is a case where the spec is intentionally loose to allow compatibility with a much larger number of machines and use cases.

You'll notice most of the cases where the behavior is implementation defined have resource requirements. example: how deep you want to allow nesting depends a LOT on the capabilities of the machine running the code. A sane value for a modern browser is going to be unworkable on an arduino/ESP32/embedded other.

Also... if these ambiguities bother you, you probably haven't read the full http spec either. It's riddled with cases where behavior is implementation defined, for exactly the same reasons (resources are required, and you can't assume everyone has the same amount available). Want to take a guess at the maximum length for a url?
It’s interesting to look at the percentages. Across the countries surveyed three-quarters believe the future is frightening and more than half (56%) believe humanity is doomed, but less than 40% are hesitant to have children.

Perhaps it is a pointer to our drive to reproduce that despite the vast majority finding the future frightening and most believing the species is doomed, most are not hesitant to bring kids into the world. :)
The counterpoint that a banker would make is that they're forced into this position by Congress, regulators, and prudence.

The alternative that might work is charging businesses fees that vary according to the risk of their transactions being illegal. Which sounds good on paper, but also runs the risk of leaving the bank in the position of making a large amount of fees from illegal activity, which rarely goes over well in court. Better, perhaps, to have a unified fee schedule and just refuse any business that could be unprofitable from liability.

I think the banker would have a strong point here. They're not in a place where these are always easy calls to make - transactions don't come with an evil bit. The constraints placed on them don't leave them a lot of viable choices.
You're basically saying that somehow the socialist idealism of Denmark is failing (despite its very high tax rates) and that now that it is failing people need to go further left, to communism? ("seizing and redistributing the wealth").

What changed in Denmark between the 90s and now?

Why do people, even in Denmark, send their kid to private schools if they can afford it?

Tax rates have always been very high in Denmark, you're advocating for them to be even higher?

> ... but here in the cradle of social democracy, people are sharpening their axes.

Any guess as to why the human species is predisposed to pressure each other into having kids?
That's not the way I'm picturing it.

Airworthiness is more an overall assessment of risk.

A substantially compromised aircraft, with expert piloting and favourable weather, can still land successfully.

A fully-airworthy aircraft experiencing CFIT won't. Nor will one flown into unanticipated adverse conditions such as violent weather, volcanic ash, or wind shear.

And of course, a sufficiently crippled craft cannot be landed successfully no matter what.

(An additional case is of a landing with partial survival of passengers and crew. We'll omit that.)

Airworthiness increases he probability of a successful flight. It's neither strictly necessary, nor sufficient. It is part of the overall risk assessment, effectively a creditworthiness rating.

An airworthiness certificate is a specific certification of such airworthiness.
I think they're saying the regulations should include not excluding someones legal business because you 'dislike it' ala WikiLeaks.
Most/all of those studies have been proven to be falsified with repeated data and/or poor data. In fact, the company who make Ivermectin have even stated it has little or no effect on Covid. Why would a company that focuses on profits from the product categorically tell you not to use it?

Well, I doubt he would be against clubbing baby seals as it's a form of hunting that is quite exclusive. I also doubt he would be against slashing people's tires, as he's been very supportive of violence against those he does not like. As for the analysis being childish, I'm not sure why you would say that as I've rarely heard children make reference to, for example, "right-wing populism" (which is how Steve Bannon himself describes Trumpism). Moreover, I tried to make statements that both Trump supporters and detractors could agree with. Trump does want to be Jeff's friend, and is impressed with his wealth. Trump does like autocrats, and has expressed love, in literal terms, for several of them. So, what's the problem with what I said, even from a supporter's point of view? (I could see why an Amazonian might not like it, though.)
I find it interesting that those who don't want kids _must_ supply a reason, while the opposite isn't true. I'm at the age where all my friends are having their first and second children, and absolutely none of them had to give an answer to "Why?" If you plan to have kids, the only reason you need to supply is "because I want them." But people who don't plan on having kids tend to explain in a multi-part essay about their economic hardships, lack of time, and existential listlessness. I assume this is because people (especially potential grandparents) don't accept a simple "I don't want kids" as an answer.
China Orders Top Energy Firms to Secure Supplies at All Costs
There are different types of regulation. The one that exists now and primarily is regulation such that individual human people cannot transfer or store in to large amounts of money without federal investigation of the source and identity. Banking and processors comply with these rules and generally go overboard making things hard for human people so they can keep their own corporate asses safe.

But the type of regulation that is needed is regulation of the banks and payment processors themselves. Not of their clients or things related to their clients.
Because you are taking that "lazy" expression literally.

The problem of appropriate mental development, formerly tackled through education, which in many territories largely failed, must be re-assessed, and progresses must be made with urgency. It is extremely important. The quality of your life depends on it - your engineers and butchers, traffic wardens and drivers, are also a social product, they fulfil their potential or get deficient out of their environment, and you want them in the "assets" column and not in the "liabilities" column.

Or are you here for the "hacking"?
Saying the balance should be predicated on ignoring the content of the speech makes sense only if speech itself was a pure function without side-effects, only if saying something truly had no other consequence than it being said can we safely ignore the content.

But the precise content of speech is exactly the part that matters! If a death sentence is read out aloud in verse, or just sent in via a short text message (that is via two very different types of speech) is clearly not very important if the end result in either case is an aid worker being blown up with a Hellfire. Speech very often triggers actions, to ignore this fact is to state nothing may be prevented because judgment is only possible by examining actions committed to reality.

Possibly, but here the perception of tax avoidance and perception of corruption matters, as well as the ability of people on City salaries to outbid everyone else on housing.

Ultimately the City is still subject to UK law and UK voters, and the more depressed towns pile up the more likely something drastic and probably counterproductive is going to be "done about" the City.

I have no idea what CA pensions are like but NY it was generous to a fault.

Someone did an analysis of the NYFD and noticed that overtime peaked during the last 3 years of service (no shit, that’s what the pension is based on).

They also noticed that a huge proportion were retiring with disability (like 70%) which provides a pension “kicker” and boosters it further.

What you ended up with was firefighters working 30+ hrs of OT per week and qualifying for disability and retiring with 120% of their normal salary versus the typical 60%. Dude we’re retiring with pensions of $120,000 per year until they die.

I don’t blame them for gaming the system but Jesus Christ.
