I apologise for that comment. Too much wine was involved. Sorry.
this is actually one of the few usecases for which a globally distributed blockchain makes sense.

maybe host an html file on an ethereum smart contract with a very, very large trustfund that people can donate to?

i'd guess the ethereum blockchain will survive 500 years. Or a subsequent fork of it will.
Adblock Plus might be an acceptable solution for you, IIRC it has an "acceptable ads" program designed to only filter out the heavier or more intrusive ads.

It needs to be both. You build at home and trade with the global market for their goods. Germany seems to pull it off pretty well.

You may not sell as many with more expensive local manufacturing prices but the goods will be of a much higher quality and so more expensive.
> These all may seem like small annoyances, but in practice they are regular reminders that American society still assumes that the default adult has a partner and that the default household contains multiple people.

Well, it is the default, so it's completely reasonable for society to assume that. It's the default for historical reasons, but it's also currently reflective of the vast majority of people's experiences. If the options are "single household or not single household" and only 28% of households are single, that's not even close to parity.

Also, check my math, but: if 28% of households are occupied by people living alone, doesn't that mean that closer to 20% of people are living alone? That's assuming all non-single households have exactly 2 people, which of course is wrong: on average they have more.
I'm still not sure if I agree with McLuhan that "the medium is the message", but I think it is definitely at least part of the message. There will always be something special about a first edition, an original manuscript, and hearing music on its native media.

And between headphones, phone speakers, audiophile sound systems, and live music, I choose all of them.
If you want to use your own domain it's $50. I'm disappointed that they stopped the $10/y plan, since I had a standing offer to give those away to friends and family in order to get them off of gmail/yahoo mail (I'd pay the first year and renewals would be up to the recipient). The current plans are a bit too expensive for that, and more than most non-cognoscenti would be willing to pay renewals for.
Employee C: I'm leaving, see you tomorrow!

As your co-worker or your boss, why do I care in the slightest whether you're going home to take care of your kid, to smoke a bowl and watch a movie, or because a new video game was released that day?

If A, B, and C are all getting their work done in the time that they are working, I think equally of the three of them, as subordinate, peer, or supervisor.
Like the comment in the article never heard of him. Do like the Star Trek original story though. Not sure I like this silly story whatever the article try to present. If the earth has only 5 … can it last or there is a way the machine can produce more otherwise it can’t last.

Anyway the real twist is I think that end with hello kitty and that will be more famous no mouth and have to pretend to entertain human. Not one Ai.
Unless Apple acquires TSMC, I don't see the M1 as much of a moat; it's TSMC's flagship process that enables most of its competitive advantage.
> If Pat's recent performance at VMware is any indicator...I wouldn't put that much faith in his ability to turn things around.

His track record at VMware was also my major concern when deciding whether to invest in INTC stock recently. In the end I decided for myself that VMware was probably unsalvageable. They had a dominant position in the datacenter (and still have), but were unable to compete effectively in the cloud as there is too little overlap between the VMware culture, commercial model, and product with what's needed to run a hyperscale cloud. Gelsinger managed to become CTO at Intel in 2001, which is I think is not something you can do if you don't have any leadership skills. Given that the Intel mission is pretty clear, and given that I don't think Intel needs to total cultural overhaul (just the management), my view is that he has a decent chance.
This table on Wikipedia says the inequality symbols were first used in 1631[1]. However guillemets (« ») date to the mid sixteenth century[2] and are still used as quotation marks in many languages. Although according to the page about brackets[3], chevrons were the earliest form of brackets, however I couldn’t find a year.

> vocabulary and grammar have changed a lot since then, and if you look back a further 500 years (to 1021AD) the "English" spoken in those days was a lot closer to Frisian than anything we'd understand.

The world was also a very different place, I suspect language will evolve far slower over the next 500 years due to the vast new interconnectedness that society has never experienced before. I think in 500 years, someone looking back at a website from today will find something far more intelligible than when we look back 500 years. The language will be closer and they will have a lot of detailed context to place it in.

I know this goes against the strangely attractive premise that civilisations rise and fall and we are ants running around thinking we are important in the moment and nothing we do will last... but the world really has become a more interconnected and stable place and it seems far more probable that it will remain that way. If there is an empire that could fall today and spell the end, it's communication technology.
What Makes Stuff Rot?
Just use the philosopher's stone, stay alive and host it yourself in 500 years old.

Look up Nicolas Flamel, his house is now the oldest in Paris, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Nicolas_Flamel

Create an artifact, surround it with mystery, and in 500 years it will be either an artifact exposed in the museum, or a relic people will be looking for even in generations.

Some people like to pretend that the philosopher's stone isn't real, but if you visit the catacombs with a radio-isotope detector and locate his remains, you will be convinced it is.

Presumably it was a hot to the touch radioactive meteorite passed down through generations that had been wrapped in lead. When he melted the lead, the transmuted gold fell at the bottom. It was a technology that wouldn't be discovered until Becquerel 500 years later.

Inside this meteorite, which until it was shielded properly, whose path you could back-trace via following the traces of radioactivity, it was discovered by x-ray imagery that it contained a perfect metallic disk with engraved features in its core. The rest is classified, but if you can store your website in a box there, you can rest assured that it will be preserved too.
The "communists" were "atheists" is another way of saying the "Chinese" weren't "Muslim". Except it's all far more banal than that because most people aren't religious zealots; religion is just one of the principle stand-ins for social and ethnic affiliation that also gives their animus a moralistic color.

It helps to understand something about the Chinese diaspora elsewhere in SE Asia. They generally didn't assimilate culturally and didn't adopt native religions like Christianity or Islam. Adoption of Buddhism (e.g. Thailand and Myanmar) was more common, but Buddhism doesn't preclude ancestor worship or other common quasi-religious practices and thus doesn't require rejecting Chinese culture. Similarly, Straits Chinese (Peranakan), from a much older wave of immigration, did adopt Islam but nonetheless fashioned an entirely distinct culture of their own. Such partial assimilation made it easier to cast doubt on the sincerity of their faith. Again, proving the rule, in Vietnam most Catholic conversions were ethnic Chinese, thus much about French Indochina and the Vietnam War doesn't make sense without understanding the ethnic components. Over 80% of post-war Vietnamese refugees were actually ethnic Han Chinese. This also goes a long way toward explaining why both Malaysia and Indonesia refused to give refugees safe harbor, often towing their boats back out to sea where they were pillaged and sunk by pirates.
yeah it'd be nice if they offered cheaper plans (possibly with less features)

Ask HN: How do I regain my passion for programming?
I had some time of work and I was really looking forward to get some work done on a private project. But once I actually sat down and started it felt like a chore and I stopped shortly after I started. I tried again but in the end I got nothing done and just left it alone for my time off. Now back at work (programming) I get the same feeling again. What once was such a fun and intresting activity for me has been reduced to a feeling of dreed everytime I have to do it. This has been going on for a while now. Did this ever happen to anyone else and how did you handle it? Is there a way to regain the love for coding?

You can walk the street of Rome and read inscriptions that are 2000 years old, they will either be close enough to any latin language or you may have some notions of latin yourself. My point being that english is probably much more significant culturally today than latin ever was. The chances that it will be some sort of forgotten language are pretty slim (though I am sure it will have evolved).

Now the real question is whether that website will have more significance than a XVI century grocery list, and be really worth preserving to your descendants…
They're pretty different scenarios because VMware was facing headwinds with cloud providers making them redundant. Intel is dealing with not having a good mobile offering, being behind on fab tech, and being behind on CPUs. The difference is people still want what Intel is selling, just a better version of it.
I don't really remember but judging by the timing, I don't think so. Sorry!

I was on a lifetime plan years ago, which to their credit they continued to honor even after they stopped offering it to new customers. I still woudl be, but needed some additional feature, maybe additional domains, can't recall, and now I'm on the $50/year plan. Still worth it to me.
I mostly meant the betrayal of trust that's gonna happen when they enable client-side scanning eventually, but the tabs are a positive example of it, at least.
Hm. Not really fond of the way that RFC was closed tbh. I feel like far more dubious suggestions sit open for ages and the main argument against this one is that it had narrow use cases but was otherwise uncontroversial. Like, there's a fine line between a feature request is quiet because no one really wants it vs. because it's just kind of an easy small win that's not even worth bikeshedding.

Meanwhile, the thing that is in the language is.. weirder and arguably worse.
Customers like me definitely noticed this happening.

We also noticed how documentation completeness and quality took a massive dive. Something like 90-95% of all Microsoft's "docs" these days are auto-generated from the code, and do not have doc-comments to provide English text. So the text, if any, is literally just the identifiers with space characters added between the words.

The only doco they have is some blog articles and maybe a few pages of overview docs for their flagship products. That's it.

I've seen docs regularly updated for each of the releases such as 2010, 2013, 2016, etc... and then just nothing for the 2019 or 2020 releases. Maybe a page or two, that's it.

I recently got an automated email sent to me by GitHub because someone started working on an issue I opened for missing 2019 docs. It's nearly 2022!
Yes, it's a garbage number, especially for recreational listening.

The typical home will have enough background noise (HVAC, traffic, wind, etc) that the noise floor isn't especially relevant, but things like a rich midrange and good dynamics certainly will be.

Also, "degrades on each play" is a real overbid these days. Maybe 50 years ago when people used crappy stylii with non-counterwighted tonearms, that was a problem... but a decent turntable with a good cartridge is quite safe. It would take hundreds of plays for noticeable degredation to occur. I might draw a parallel to home users worrying about SSD write cycles - it's much more of a theoretical issue than a practical one.
Media companies who make their revenue on advertisements have a business interest to attack their biggest competitor. Fair criticism or not, the continued push against Facebook just feels like desperate hope for news outlets to gain some ground against tech giants.
Dutch ovens are great for baking bread too. They trap moisture in so you get a really nice crust vs just baking it in the open oven

everyone already recycles water, but you can't make ultrapure water ultrapure again after using it to rinse off chemicals without significant work. "recycling" here means they use the waste water for evaporative cooling. that 2MW of power has to go somewhere and you don't dissipate the waste heat with a big heatsink, you evaporate water with it to get rid of the heat, as with most industrial facilities.

we had an actual intel plant manager who actually ran one of intel's fabs on one of the previous threads about this and HNers of course deigned to tell him his business, as usual. Love it.

The mechanism would be whatever cognitive bias makes it seem like things are always getting worse. I think nostalgia plays into this, and also status—everyone enjoys feeling superior to late-comers. It's one status you can never lose!

I think the fact that people have literally been making the same complaint over and over about how HN is turning into Reddit since literally before it was even called HN is strong evidence (not proof, but strong evidence) that that perception is bogus. Had it ever been true, HN would have become dramatically different a long time ago. Not only the perception but the phrases people use to express it have been unchanged for almost 15 years. That's an internet eternity.
Speaking as a former fab manufacturing engineer (back when AMD had fabs): 5 nodes in 4 years, is extremely optimistic. As in, I don't think it's ever been done in the history of the industry.

On the other hand, several of those nodes have been running in production elsewhere for a while now, so it's not quite as crazy as it sounds. But, highly ambitious.

> If enough people find that the results are not reliable in any way then they are able to verify it themselves

The whole point is that they can't. They need to rely on other people to verify the results. They cannot "verify it themselves".

> hypothetical scenario relies on

The hypothetical scenario relies on wanting the benefits of digital voting (of which there are many) without the major downside (of which there is one). A publicly verifiable ledger gives you the benefits of digital without the major downside, which is that generally with anything digital you can commit fraud at scale.
Yeah, the person you replied to really seemed to be grasping at straws there. How many laptops for sale now have this level of support for external monitors?
"Edit: I would caution people commenting here to not use their own behavior as examples of how an ad platform is/isn't effective. HN users tend to be significant outliers vs. the general population."

In other words, exactly what the top comment is doing.

Sample size=1. Methods=unknown ("seem 2-4x better")

That said, we could apply the same principle to the parent comment from the marketer. He is using his own behaviour as an example of how the Google ad platform is/isn't effective.

There is a serious lack of transarency in the "open market" system Google is both overseeing and participating in. In the long run, that opacity could spell disaster, so says a former Google lawyer.

This opacity is a problem that seemingly inconsequential litigation like this from the Texas AG is (unintentionally) helping to address. Discovery helps us understand what Google wants to hide from the public.
But in an economies of scale line of argumentation, shouldn’t the cost of building/selling houses for single people go down precisely because plenty enough people (and plenty more are projected to) live alone? It does seem that culture lag is to blame.
They were getting 33.6kbps out of a fully analog phone line with 300Hz-4Khz usable frequency range. Depends on the equipment and tape, but I imagine even cheapish equipment would have at least twice that amount of bandwidth to work with, maybe even up to 10-12kHz instead of a 4kHz top end.

High end equipment and high end tape shows up to ~20kHz or so: https://audiochrome.blogspot.com/2019/12/cassette-tape-compa...
Thank you for the tip. Just installed it. Open source, and powered by donations. Awesome.
Im not sure what you expected to happen there? You still had service (meaning they didnt just cut off your communications in case it was important) and when you came back they charge you for it. I think it depends on how you view that. One one hand they didn't just turn everything off the minute you didnt pay, on the other hand they wanted you to pay for what you were still using..
They're all working on their own chips because there isn't a viable server ARM chip. I suspect they'd happily buy something like an M1 off-the-self it if existed. Even if the demand for SoCs goes up, Intel could play that market, too. And they have fabs that could compete with TSMC. The questions are mainly can they ramp up fab tech, ramp up CPU tech, and are they open to more custom hardware.
You mean Base4?

What i find really interesting with this UK crisis is the resurgence of rail as a fret solution in the UK.

I think there is a reasonable point though. Courts are backed up, the Senate is always slow at confirming (and some presidents slow at nominating) judges. And there's not enough Judges or courts to handle our population/amount of suits?

One negative consequence of this is the amount of plea deals and the pressures that puts on the accused.

Pandemic seemed to have made it worse.

Another thought would be building out more official specialization to speed things up. I can't find it but there was a HN article a few weeks ago talking about a I think a Texas judge who handled the vast majority of some type of specific litigation. It might have been patents I can't seem to remember. Said because that judicial district has a larger volume of case 'law' and well-defined regulations which is also an odd quirk to me as a non-lawyer - that regions can be different. article was about court shopping too, where corporations use their power to get moved into his court because they get better outcomes.

Currently both anti-social and pro-social individuals possess firearms. If possession of firearms is criminalized, those who tend toward pro-sociality will give them up disproportionately. Such a policy would therefore tilt the balance of power toward those with anti-social inclinations. This is a bad outcome.
