You can just look at the weblog post about the M1 money supply change as well:

> […] the modification of Regulation D in late April has effectively rendered savings accounts almost indistinguishable from checking accounts from the perspective of depositors and banks. Accordingly, the composition of M2 between M1 and non-M1 components conveys little economic information.

Do you also have hundreds of gb’s of footage of police brutality against minorities and white supremacy marches? Or is it just footage of minorities struggling against a system that doesn’t work for them?

If so, why?
If you take gdp numbers and divide them out among the population of the entire world, you get a world in poverty. Though I agree that many of the gains are ill-gotten. There's still nowhere near enough in absolute terms, though. Enough food, but not enough housing, electricity, clean water, appliances...

It doesn’t just randomly happen to be convincing. The convincing part is why it works at all.
And following a great national tradition of low proficiency in English, former French president Sarkozy once welcomed Angela Merkel with "sorry for the time".
I do not.

The Paradox of Intolerance is expecting that you get to be intolerant of others while not expecting others to be intolerant of you.
That's what you think, but I'm asking who at MIT has taken that position re timeframe that you have evidence of?
Good for you. That means you haven't encountered a problem that Nix is designed to solve.

(Nix is very much a "worse is better" tool in the tradition of hacking something together out of existing tools until you a minimal working product. It's designed to solve a particular class of problems quickly and painlessly, even if the end result isn't "clean" or "elegant". The "clean" and "elegant" solutions to these problems are vastly more complex and overengineered.)
It kind of does - you can use IMA to enforce signature validation, even including an x509 chain. But it using extended attributes for this results in a bunch of difficulties, and there's no good distro support for it at present.
How does that work? Don’t you have to effectively convert your general iterable to an array and then join on that? Array.from(iterable).join(…)?
By the way, what does "i" in "iOS" stand for?

EDIT: I looked it up, it stands for "internet". From now on we should be referring to it as "internet OS" where space is not an issue.
I used Serverless framework to develop locally many times, it works very well for my case.
I'm not going to debate the conclusion of this paper, but keep in mind if you pick Android, it's still very important to pick the brand correctly. When you open the Clock app on Xiaomi phones, the first thing you see is a privacy policy you need to accept (!). Samsung might be better on this. I saw quite a few people on other websites (not HN) who said they switched to Android after Apple's CSAM thing, but put little thought into brand choice beyond price and features, just assuming all Androids are the same.

You might say that people who really care about privacy would just get GrapheneOS, but the mainstream info available to help make these decisions is really poor as of now. Just seems like a Wild West.
It's just one more step, one time. After installing a userscript extension, it's as easy as a normal add-on.

The rule against perpetuities only prevents you from constructing a zombie legal entity which outlives you permanently. Some places have a fixed, high time limit; many merely have the non-onerous rule that you can only leave it to people who were alive at the time of your death.

I don't think that that makes it any better. Actually, it seems worse that the CCP would act to obstruct an organization (ostensibly) devoted to the dissemination of knowledge simply because they recognize Taiwan as a country than if they had a particular grudge against The Wikipedia Foundation in particular.

You might try exporting objects as STL and then link them in Solvespace. Edge builds do support binary STL files and it will identify edge vertices for building additional geometry.
The advantage of mutating operations always returning None is that you can easily tell whether a mutation is happening by looking at the code. If you see y = f(x) that means x is unchanged, whereas if you see just f(x) on a line that means something stateful is happening.

While I generally support anything that advocates for less social media addiction, it's worth noting that self-improvement is an exhausting affair which can lead to its own brand of FOMO. There's no shame in occasional indolence or "wasting time"; just spend it on something marginally higher quality than endless MMO grinds or scrolling through the 700th page of Reddit.
Apparently NASA's inflation-adjusted budget has been about half of its Apollo-era levels ever since the 1970s:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NASA_budget_linegraph_BH....

That's not as much, of course, but it's hardly chump change -- and yet I can't help but think that they're a lot less than half as impressive as they were back then. Look at the Constallation program, meant to develop a crewed launch system as a replacement for the Space Shuttle. Five years after it started it was over budget and behind schedule, and after it was estimated to eventually cost more than the entire Apollo program it got canceled. Or look at the Space Launch System program, another rocket-making attempt: it started in 2011, has spent over $20 billion so far, was supposed to start launches in 2016, and might launch something next year.

NASA's general level of competence seems to have dwindled over time. They can still do impressive things, but not nearly as impressive as you'd expect if the same budget had been given to 1960s NASA with 2021 technology.
Nobody seems to notice that it should not matter at all how accurate exactly the information Wikimedia contains, because it has no relation to the role they can fulfil at WIPO.

China blocks the application, citing irrelevant info. Then other countries dismiss those irrelevant accusations as false. It seems the future of WIPO is to become irrelevant UN body.

I don't understand how you can use docker-compose, docker, Kubernetes or anything else to achieve the same thing as NixOS. NixOS gives you a fully reproducible personal computing system, from boot config, window manager, partitioning to applications, home directories and everything in between.

What mainstream options are available for doing this? Guix could be one option, but it's not mainstream so I'm not sure what tools you are referring to.
the "10x programmer" is just rugged American individualism repackaged to make a very profitable and skilled workforce feel insecure.

most successful tech projects are developed by teams with a diverse set of creative talents beyond coding including community building, design, documentation, education.
Hydrogen fuel cell generators are one option. Pretty exotic today, but this is the type of move that will help them become more mainstream
Mediation with a “direction” isn’t good mediation.
First of all, no private organisation can "recognize" a state. That is a privilege for states. Private organisations can only boycott (non-)states by not doing any business with said (non-)citizens. Why in the world Wikimedia do that, and how?

Oh. Well I don't have to look it up to guess who that would be, but I think my point stands - it's not 'people are talking about that she said that', but a 'hashtag' used presumably to echo the sentiment. I wish it were confined to its chamber.

Regarding the RFC - check out the publication date.

From my impressions on the Long Now (and I found Deep Time a rather interesting read) the issue is not just sticking a zero on to say "think about the future" but rather that our current culture doesn't think about the future beyond the next news cycle, quarterly report, or election.

I'd contend that The Clock of the Long Now (and the intended level of technology to repair it) and the Rosetta Project are very pessimistic about the future of humanity. ( https://rosettaproject.org/about/ )

The recent HN post about the oak grove for repairing the USS Constitution reminds me of https://blog.longnow.org/02014/12/31/humans-and-trees-in-lon...

> Upon further inquiry it was discovered that when the College was founded, a grove of oaks had been planted to replace the beams in the dining hall when they became beetly, because oak beams always become beetly in the end. This plan had been passed down from one Forester to the next for over five hundred years saying “You don’t cut them oaks. Them’s for the College Hall.”

That a several hundred year old grove was planted because the builders, being familiar with wood construction, knew that in a few hundred years that it would need to be repaired and they'd need the materials to do the repair.

https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/oak-beams-new-college-ox...

> The answer to the question, have new oaks been planted, is probably. Somewhere on the land owned by the New College are oaks that are, or will one day, be worthy of use in the great hall, assuming that they are managed in the same way they were before. It is in this management by the Forester in which lies the point. Ultimately, while the story is perhaps apocryphal, the idea of replacing and managing resources for the future, and the lesson in long term thinking is not.
OpenStack isn't a redhat project, it is contributed to by a large number of players. Redhat, SUSE and Canonical all provide their own OpenStack service subscriptions, but one can easily deploy OpenStack with a project like OpenStack Kolla. I run it at home and it is great.
Extraordinary assertions require extraordinary proof.

Utensils are (generally) not inserted. however more crucially in this respect, depending on the mix, silicon is more compliant. You want to have a bit of give. (I know I know, glass dildos exist, but thats a specific, advanced usage)
Yeah, they are comparable, but there is definitely a difference, from both an end user, and developer. The flow is similar - you have to have a wallet, and you have to authenticate it. But really, that's about it.

From an end user perspective, all I need to do is press a button to connect my wallet, and I'm in. The site doesn't even need to reload or hit a callback uri. It's a much simpler flow than any of the oauth authentication flows. Also, as anyone can create a wallet and it is not tied to any other identifying information, it's a breath of fresh air to have some vague sense of anonymity than hooking everything into a centralized email account.

From a developer standpoint, all I need to do is use an API with a callback function that on success takes whatever data I need and update my application state appropriately. It really is smooth, and I don't need to do things like maintain session or handle access token expiration and request refresh tokens. I can sign messages on the frontend & verify signatures on the backend to ensure the user is who they claim to be. It's so simple compared to the stuff I had to implement in the corporate world for OAuth (granted, the projects I've been working on in the space are much less complex).

If you want to try it out yourself as an end user, just download a wallet extension and check out an nft marketplace such as solanart or opensea. You simply have to connect, and that's it. I find it fascinating personally and it's one of the pieces of web3 that I'm most excited for. I believe we're going to continue to see a lot of innovation in the space.
I'd like to see more of a rationale for not using Corretto on non-AWS servers. What's wrong with it?
You can also change/add them after the ssh session has started.

This uses the escape mechanism. For help on that, hit return, type "~?" and hit return again.

From there you will see that "~#" will list them. And "~C" takes you to a line-oriented command prompt where you can add them.

For example, type return "~C", then at the prompt type "-L1234:localhost:22". Then in another window, type "telnet localhost 1234". Then back in the ssh window, type return "~#" and you will see the tunnel being used.

Another trick: if you don't need a shell and only want to forward ports, run "ssh -N" instead of "ssh".
Like that the digits of pi look a lot like the output of a random number generator? I don't think that prediction is seriously in dispute.

Why is that? Granted, the people of China individually work within the gaps of totalitarian control. Ok. The country of (historic and modern) China is whatever the CCP leadership dictates.

I would recommend "Robust Python" by Patrick Viafore. It teaches you a lot about type annotations (among other thing) and gave me personally a whole new way of looking at the code that I write.
> My feature store hasn't supported time-travel yet. But many SaaS implementations do, including Tecton, Hopswork, Splice Machine, et

Good to know, I wasn't aware of them. At the end of the day the make or buy decision is influenced by the cost factor. In our case the development costed ca. 50k€ (obviously no SV salary), we had a user base of 10 data-scientists (incl. myself) and someone in house who knows the ins and outs of the system and can implement new stuff. I have to admit I was sharing my office with our DB architect, it would be hard to put a price tag on his support. I don't know how the pricing of the SaaS solutions compares to this.
Basically. PRC blocks UN participation of any organization that doesn't follow official UN interpretation of One China. As how things should be. China's UN flexes last few years doing a good job demonstrating "the world" is more than the west. Some folks have a hard time coping with pacing non-white super power that represents 20% of the global population successfully lobbying for their own interests. Conveniently looking past fact that PRC still has plurality support in UN over HK and XJ policies while pretending the world is united against PRC when it's anything but.
> summation of the concept of evil

That's a rather strong way to describe someone who refuses to implement a policy you like.

You might be right, a natural immunity exemption might be sound policy. I personally tend to agree. But you can't make the case for it by pretending that opposition to it is based in ignorance or evil, if the opposition is due to the concern that people who would abuse it and the result would be more deaths.

When I learned Kotlin, I just read through the docs, and then knew of basically all the different concepts in the language.

For Python, the docs were comparably very bad. For instance, Decorators aren't mentioned even once in the "The Python Tutorial". In "The Python Language Reference" (if one even bother to read such a dry document) it's barely mentioned in passing. How should a new user know it's a concept and how to apply it? And the language reference links only to a glossary item, and none of them specify how parameters in a decorator is supposed to work.

Pretty frustrating experience, put me a bit off the language from the get-go.
Yes, that's why I typed that.

The question is, why make a silicone mould in the first place?
The UK has inheritance tax for literally everyone except one person passing that estate to her direct inheritors. This is why bringing it up is derailing.

It's for the user packages. This way you can keep the system profile lean for fast updates of the kernel and such, and then update firefox and other things separately. With Guix they have had manifests for a while, which are integrated into Guix proper and are like the package half of Home Manager (not the config stuff). I only keep a handful of things installed as system packages, and then I have probably 100 or more things in my manifest.scm file. As my user I apply this manifest and it will install or remove things as needed. No root privileges needed.
I once saw a clip of Elon saying the fast way to terraform Mars is to nuke the poles. And now that I’m watching The Expanse it got me thinking about that. Except for the possible impact on passive scientific study, it seems like a process worth starting sooner than later right?

Any thoughts on this. Or are there other better ways to get a better atmosphere and water on Mars?

I've been surprised at how long it's taken the community to react in this way.
Given what is generally known about vaccination, it was not bold. It was judicious.

However, given the hysteria of what passes for news outlets and social media, it was quite bold. People were convinced that the 2 week interval initially specified for Pfizer vax was bedrock truth. Any departing from that ONE TRUE WAY could only be bad. In such a political climate, actually following the known science was difficult.

Giving 1 shot to everyone and spreading out the shots to a more normal interval allowed a lot more people to get immunity. Gettin the 2nd shot at a longer interval allowed those people to get a better long term immunity.

Tbis is not an earth shaking discovery. If it worked differently than this, people would be asking why is this vax different?
This simply isn't true. A decent push mower can be had for about $180. Cheaper ones are about $130. Do you have a source for $500+ gas push mowers? I'd imagine they are very niche companies or models.

This also ignores the used market. Mine was used for $30.
Frances Haugen: Data with Empathy (2017)
October 22, 2016
To build products people love, you must understand those people. User research and user-centered design help get us there, but once we have a sense of how our audiences thing and behave, how can we go beyond the anecdotal to extrapolate to the macro? What ways can we better understand the needs of millions of users who think, act and operate differently than us?

Our October speaker Frances Haugen will share from her product management and software engineering experiences with products used by millions of Google and Yelp customers. She'll help us understand how data - done 'right' - connects us to millions of users we don't know personally. And she'll outline what doing data right means for product development, and how product owners can build things their users love.
Ask HN: How can I create a custom trading exchange?
I'm working on a project on which user-submitted content can be invested in, with real money, by other users, obviously with the hope that there will be a ROI via royalties. But I have only a basic understanding of how the stock market and trading exchanges work. I'm wondering what books/resources I can read in order to have a thorough enough understanding to be able to create a custom one. I'm a mid-level software developer so I'm confident about my ability to be able to build this system once I know the scope. Thanks in advance
