I imagine Chinese lay Buddhists are often Pure Land rather than Chan no? I used to practise Soto zen with a teacher but now I’m Pure Land, but I don’t know which tradition yet. Pure Land doesn’t need a teacher or temple to be safe and effective though: you just recite Amitabha Buddhas name.

I think modern western Buddhists seem to reject anything that they don’t perceive right at this moment. Really they should at least be agnostic. Regardless the Buddha did teach too extensively about such things for it to make sense to ignore them. People try and say he was talking metaphorically, or that it was his shallower teaching for stupid people (even Thich Nhat Hanh says this! Imo to appeal to the western ego, because he does not say similar things in his Vietnamese teachings). I just think people need to step back for a minute and really think about why they want to identify as a Buddhist and what their relationship to the Buddhas teachings is
The generation of antibodies via somatic hypermutation (random shuffling + selection) is indeed a university level topic.
I was trying to figure out how support works for remote.ok and nomadlist.com, both Pieter’s products, short story: there is none. I got caught by lack of support for these SaaS multiple times for my company, it’s not fun. As a company owner I expect support. I don’t get why we would do our best to completely remove any kind of human interaction from the equation, I mean I get why, but then be very upfront about it and mention it clearly somewhere that your pricing cannot cover support.
I think it depends on the team and your role in it. I worked at one of the Google X moonshots and never heard of this. There were a couple engineers from other teams that were donating one day a week to helping us, which is a similar 80/20 split. These 20% were somewhat common at Google, I believe, but it was never to take time off work.
How about Haskell or Scala?
They are probably talking about ZeniMax v. Oculus. ZeniMax owned the company where John Carmack worked. While the original Oculus Rift was being prototyped and later crowdfunded, Carmack was interested in VR and worked on the code/headset to get Doom 3 running on it. He later left to become the Oculus CTO.

It is definitely relevant to your point because assumptions are being made about which has a worse outcome. Turns out on the national level drunk driving is a pittance vs unvaccinated. To bad they don't have equal liability
Ideas shouldn't be beyond criticism, sure. But if you can't criticize an idea without being unkind, resorting to name calling, and misrepresenting someones view -- at best you aren't haven't a dialog, at worst you don't have any valid criticism to contribute.

I'd blame that on the popular media, which portrays antibodies as carefully tuned single agents rather than the randomly generated pile that they are.
Steam doesn't do crypto, and probably has regulatory BS tied to it. All I see is harassment of front line support over policies they don't have control over.

They told you nicely and are offering to refund you. You decide to harass them. Is there something I'm missing? Private businesses can pick and choose who they want to do business with. PC software doesn't require Steam.
For that example there's no advantage. But it's really, really easy to find examples where there are (the simplest example is, anything with pointers with @NonNull annotations, or anything which is performance-sensitive and contains other objects).
I don't understand why people are trusting random WP contrib developers with cache anyhow? Is nginx no longer a thing?

Except C++ template bloat has solutions not yet available in Rust.

For example you can pre-instatiate the most common type parameters and just stuck those instantiations into a binary library.

Also if you have a nice C++ compiler environment like Visual C++, you can even do edit-and-continue for many kinds of changes, and VS 2022 will double down on that capability.
If your data is coming from an S3 origin and the original (cached request) was not CORS (but you also want to support CORS), then you can inject the necessary headers with Lambda@Edge or CloudFront Functions.

S3 is used as an example, as it does not include a Vary header for non-CORS requests. However, the same would be true of some other origin which isn't correctly inserting a Vary header.

this really triggered me. you basically say its ok to do shady things as long as you give something to the poor. sounds so much like "indulgence" in Christian churches where you could pay off your sins. sad.

i'd say money is not a permission for you to do bad things, and it should not make you fell better about bad things you did (and continue to do) just by giving some of the money away.

And then inevitably somebody will find a way around that. It's a cat-and-mouse game as old as the concept of digital licensing - see the piracy space, where all sorts of uncrackable protections keep getting cracked
Does anyone remember the surge of popularity node.js got when microsoft helped it to be a thing also on windows?

I do.

I'm not intelligent (or silly) enough to create my own platform/language but if I were, windows compatibility would have been on the top of my list, second would be making JS developers feel at home (read: C syntax); or Python, if I'm being adventurous.
That has been the same in Java and .NET world for 20 years now, just plug the desired serializer from the standard library and be done with it.

I am looking to buy a new phone now, and with every previous phone purchase I've got a slightly bigger phone because, as the article says, phones just keep getting bigger.
Now it looks like 6.5" is "small" and you might find a 6.2" here or there.
I'm not opposed to a slightly bigger screen, but my current phone is 5" and it looks like whatever I upgrade to probably won't pass the pocket test which is a bit annoying.

But logic doesn't need to be created. The problem here is the idea of existence. There doesn't actually need to be a universe for the laws of logic still to be what they are. It's like how algorithms have the complexity they have regardless of whether computers exist, or whether they're made with silicon or buckets of water.

Ask HN: Why can't VCs short startups?
Textbook market theory says that the ability to short sell or otherwise bet against a security is essential for appropriately quick downward price adjustments. This mechanism seems to be missing from venture capital, despite the great incentive that the large number of very bad companies creates.

One specific example is that many major investors were highly skeptical about Theranos well in advance of the publications that exposed them. Why were they trading in private markets at such a high valuation when those skeptical investors could have been betting against them?
Is the main difference in performance between JS and the others (Perl, Ruby, PHP) the fact that JS is JIT'ed and the others are not? I mean JS used to be slowish and until V8 came, what is V8 doing? Why can't Python / Ruby do the same thing?
Why bust my ass at FAANG when I can just make a janky job portal and make 10x more.

Sigh. I wish I was street smart and not book smart.
For that reason I think it’s worth drawing a distinction between rating service by very small businesses (taxi drivers, family-run guesthouses, etc.) vs. a mass/retail product.

Rating the former tends to be 1) personal, 2) having much influence over individual’s livelihood, and 3) much more dependent on my preexisting expectations. If there was something I didn’t like, I try to not give any rating instead of rating poorly unless there was an exceptional issue.

Rating a product, especially by a bigger company, 1) does not necessarily criticise the company itself (I can still admire it while objectively having bad experience with a unit) and 2) has much less influence over company’s overall success (my review is probably a drop in the ocean), and 3) I tend to think of it as more objective than rating a service (compared to a service provided by a human, when evaluating a physical product there’re absurdly fewer variables and you’d be better informed about what you’re supposed to expect based on tech specs).
Sorry, what is the pool? On first glance, it doesn’t seem any different from the main page.
Mostly public sector (around 1/3 unionized). Private is around 6%[1]. And after the public sector it's transport, utilities, telecoms, construction, manufacturing. Basically a laundry list of underperformance in the US -- important sectors (govt especially) choked to death by rent-seeking and complacency.

You certainly didn't embed a >300KB font[1] in your few KB SVG image? If you don't embed the font, other people without the font will simply see something different.

The uncompressed 1.1MB export isn't optimized for size since it repeats basically the same CSS styles over and over for every token. When gzipped (default level) it's 302KB, and when brotli'ed it's 290KB, basically the font takes all the space.

Of course, technically it's possible to optimize the size by creating a custom font with only the glyphs needed, like what people used to do for icon fonts.

It's talked about as a catalytic reaction, and the solvent isn't consumed - you get o2, nitrogen, and carbon flakes (which can be further sonicated in a detergent mixture to produce graphene flakes. )

They estimated $100 cost for ~500 lbs of carbon.

To put things in context, there's about a trillion tons of "excess" co2 in the atmosphere.

That means you're going to need to produce 280 million tons of carbon to reset to 1970 levels.

$400 per ton means $1,120,000,000 , or $1.12 trillion.

Assume economies of scale, improved efficiency, secondary markets, and you could reduce the effective cost by 80%, so maybe $250 billion could solve co2 climate impact.

Spread that out over all vehicles, power plants, businesses, and so on, and that seems achievable over a decade. Spread over global scales on a sound 50 year plan, and people wouldn't even notice any economic impact.

Now what if you can tweak the chemistry and produce methane or ethanol or propane? Pure carbon feedstock has to have more uses, so it might be a net producer of value, as opposed to a fundamental cost.

Pretty exciting to think about.
I eat only meat, mostly beef, and I regularly test very high levels of ketones in my urine.

What is the best way to import this into wordpress? Is there a to have it as a custom wordpress block?
Your point is also interesting in how it interacts with a common complaint in activist media, mainstream media and right here on HN frequently: People heavily and often complain about tax evasion by private wealthy individuals due to the financial power it gives them, but rarely mention the immense power that major states already have, tax evasion losses or no, to control narratives for billions of people. More argument should be devoted to the question of just how much money the state should be spending and how from the funds it already collects. This is more important than painting every major case of tax evasion as a crushing loss for governments whose existing budgets are astronomical and already and frequently used in incredibly wasteful ways.

You can create the most valuable thing, if you have no eyeballs is useless. You need marketing, an audience to show to. That's key.

You can even pre sell a product you don't have yet to an audience.
> grind LC for however long you need in order to be comfortable solving hard problems cleanly in 35-45 minutes

Which is more difficult to do for people who have a lot of non-work commitments, like say raising a family. So this method of hiring introduces some biases. Not that I have a solution.
US "environmentalism" is utterly baffling when it comes to packaging. Case in point: I can no longer get plastic bags (which, by the way, have been biodegradable for the past 15 years or so), yet much of the stuff one buys in a typical US grocery store is _already_ enclosed in non-biodegradable plastic. Sometimes in 2-3 layers of it. What the fuck is the point of not providing the _biodegradable_ plastic bags? Wouldn't it be better to require from the manufacturers that stuff they supply is not wrapped in three layers of plastic to begin with, instead of inconveniencing the shoppers for no benefit whatsoever?

A penalty for filing a bad suit can be (and notionally already is!) part of the price of filing suit, just as overdraft penalties are part of the price of a bank account. A contract between the plaintiff and the defendant is not necessary.

> Loser pays for frivolous lawsuits only (but not all failed lawsuits) is also a thing, and is common in US jurisdictions, but requires a separate court determination

Requiring a separate court determination is a coincidence of the American system, not a logical necessity.
I sometimes think, that marketing is one of the worst thing that happened to us. It is constantly destroying all things that worked really well for us.

There were times when checking my mailbox (I mean physical one) was either important - taxes, administration, bills or fun - postcards from family and friends. Now it’s 99% spam. It’s not worth checking.

Email - the same. Mostly spam and shitty newsletters that will 'Teach you to Be Rich...'.

Professional press - instead of interesting and novel ideas and research we get sponsored junk just to sell services. Instead of honest reviews we get paid test winners. All mixed with just plain old full page commercials.

TV shows - instead of good story we get some unbelievable plots that are built only to excuse showing a sponsor car, cooking pots or some other junk.

Phone - few years ago a call from unknown number meant your kid was sick or you have missed something in your taxes. Now it's always spam, many times per day. I've already disabled all notifications from numbers out of my contact list.

Blogs - they used to be interesting or personal, now it's either commercial spam, worthless review/comparisons or a personal brand spam. Mostly written by cheap contractors with no experience in the field. I hope it get's replaced by GPT-3 soon.

The list is pretty long:
- city full of ugly banners
- loading screens in cash machines so you can see a commercial
- commercials in movie theaters before and after the film
- worthless books just to build personal brand or promote products
- sidewalks full of flyers
- free games for kids on mobile
- web pages with popups
- addictive social media practices
- spam comments underneath articles and in forums
- reddit communities full of spam

The list goes on.

If we give them more time they will find a way to destroy everything that's worth while for us. Well paid psychologists, instead of helping people will find a way to get to your brain with next junk you don't need while data scientists prepare more reports from our personal data. After that engineers will work hard to circumvent your ad blocker instead of adding new features, fixing performance or improving user experience.

Sorry, for the long rant, but sometimes I simply think their mission in life is to make our lives worse.

In the end I'm just happy that clickthroughs are shitty. And that they stay this way.

Being a bit eccentric also. I discovered nomadlist after hearing what being a nomad was all about (whilst accidentally being one).

He had already been a nomad and made a pretty slick page. As more and more people became nomads it was always there to tie it all together.

For example, each city you go to will have a different crowd of nomads, different vibe, different meetup style, whatsapp or facebook, monthly weekly or casual events etc etc.
However, this website ties it all together in a consistent fashion, I want to pick where I go next, how do I compare interesting things to me about a place I've never been.
At the end of the day this is what you want, though: people need to realize that they are going to be held personally responsible if they're involved in pencilwhipping the FAA approval process, and tell their boss they're not going to jail so that Boeing can make another 1% profit this year.

I'm not saying it's just the test pilot who lied, or held sole responsibility, but yeah, he was a member of a criminal enterprise that resulted in people's deaths.

subtitle: "Android phone manufacturers have stopped making smaller phones. What gives?"

answer: Maybe the market has spoken and people simply like having big phones cause they can see and do things they like one them while still fitting in their pocket.
Interesting. Appears to be back up anyways :-)
Anecdotally, as my friends age I have noticed a few getting larger phones so they can accommodate a bigger font size and not own up to needing glasses. This correlates with them having more disposable income so is a market the manufacturers want to go after.
Odttf (Obfuscated OpenType)
I think you folks were in a really tricky spot. Making <audio>/<video> require CORS would have been the right decision for security reasons, particularly since <audio>/<video> introduces range requests. It would have prevented these security bugs https://jakearchibald.com/2018/i-discovered-a-browser-bug/.

However, the competition at the time was Flash, and making <audio>/<video> so much harder than it was with Flash would have put developers off.

Fwiw, I regret that opaque responses can go into the service worker cache, since it caused quota-sniffing issues that we had to work around. But, if we didn't allow it, it would have been a feature regression vs appcache. sigh
