You don't want the arrows, don't be the one that leaves and suddenly things get better. Also, don't be the one in all of the marketing videos/on-stage demos/pointed out by the CEO as the one doing all of the designing. Not sure how us plebeian users are to know the difference. That's also part of the pros/cons of being SVP in charge. You're going to catch these arrows because you've signed off on all of these multi-group/people making decisions.
We are not in opposition, please stop. I really don't want to get into a heated argument with you, you and I both know that's not the way to convince anyone. Also I am not on any "team" and I don't represent anyone, these are my own statements. I'd appreciate it if you didn't make these assumptions about me, thanks.

I am sympathetic to people who can't get vaccines for medical reasons but there are companies that simply are not equipped to employ those people safely. There's nothing coercive about that, everything else you're saying about that is not related to what I'm saying. For a lot of these companies it's a matter of either they require the vaccine, or they go back to having long lines, reduced hours, occupancy limits, strict mask requirements, and other things that are inconvenient and cost money and hurt the business. This stuff is unfortunate because it also applies to immunocompromised people with whom the vaccine is not effective, I don't really know a solution that could work for them on a large scale.
Consider just signing up for Shopify and being done with it. What are the custom features? It’s likely there are already Shopify plug-ins/services for this.
Interesting. Do you have a concrete example that would illuminate the connection?
first really clear-minded reply in this thread... check profile... -8. disgusting. my primary regret about going into computers is that i have to keep tabs on this soul-sucking nerd groupthink circle-jerk.
The number of its name is generated similar to a hash. And it existed outside of and before the beast reference as a cultural trend. It’s seen multiple times in ancient writing.

It’s funny because it’s a reference to a common way to encode/obscure the name of someone, not literally a mark on the most evil person spawned from hell, and with all we know today people still believe it’s a physical mark that will identify evil or turn one towards evil. That shit is hilarious.
> Am I the only one who thinks that it’s extremely messed up this is even happening?

You are not alone. Many of the ultra rich like you want a pretty night sky over supplying basic utilities like internet, weather information, GPS, imagery, and yes TV to the vulnerable. Just like Hunger Games many want their pretty dresses over the districts having food.

Many of us see satellites and have sense of wonder about how amazing humans have become. And the ability to track them and talk to children about what the satellites are is a fun and interesting hobby. And some of us one day who are not rich conservatives want to leave the planet and be with these satellites.

I think most who object to this don't even look at the night sky, no one who cares about beauty really minds these satellites, they are beautiful and some provide beautiful pictures of the universe human eyes could never see.

For the ultra rich it's all about control.
It's not just bad - it's sick and sickening.
See my comment above. It doesn’t have to make sense in our current environment for people to do it.

Doing this kind of thing has meant their ancestors survived crazy insane disasters that most others did not, so they are going to keep doing it to some extent no matter what.

Think of it as humanities extra parity bits. Most of the time they’re useless, until they’re the only reason we’re still here.
>Until the birth of the methods and practices of modern research in the 17th century, scientific research consisted mostly of nonsystematic experimentation and theorizing.

I'll never believe this.

Some people have always been born with a natural tendency for systematic experimentation and theorizing.

More likely it took from the dawn of man until the 17th century to get critical mass in the recorded legacy department.
> But GoL is purely mathematical

Is it though? Humans play GoL on computers made out of matter, think about GoL using brains made out of matter, and learn or communicate about GoL using artifacts made of matter. We can port GoL to various devices, so it seems that the essentials of GoL are not tied to a particular physical substrate. But then again, these are only approximations to GoL in that storage, etc. is limited. Anytime we actually run GoL, we're doing it in some embodied form. GoL doesn't play itself in some non-material plane.

I think we get in trouble with these sweeping thought experiments and extrapolations. I might agree in principle that a mind like mine could exist in GoL, but it could turn out that to implement it would take some enormous combinatorial number multiple of universes. Then does it exist in a form that could operate, or only in a form that I can sketch out to others without understanding or giving any details?

We really need to be careful about 1, 2, ..., infinity style arguments. They're second-nature to mathematicians, but the history of mathematics is full of cases where we had to clean up the mess left over after inviting infinity to the party.

EDIT> "2) both mind-in-GoL and its entire reality are fully deterministic and their existence is thus entirely independent of them ever being "simulated" (or instantiated) on an "actual" computing device. If they can exist, they can be said to actually exist"

How is this not just restating the same unsupported argument? Now we'll just have to debate what "exist" means, which is more or less where we started.

EDIT 2> This is what I mean by keeping philosophers employed. Instead of making progress and deepening our understanding, we just end up debating and then agreeing-to-disagree on what word X means, and what it means to mean, and whether meaning can be said to exist, and ..., and ..., recursion
He was the one responsible for design. The designs improved after his departure. Maybe a myth, maybe a coincidence, maybe true.
You can’t say it’s a myth anymore than somebody else can say it isn’t.
Sensory testing (which is what is what I and my company specialize in) is a large component of tea sourcing and absolutely part of the process.

To illustrate this:

Just as coffee has "cupping", a method of preparation used for sourcing and evaluation but which no consumer would ever use to prepare coffee for enjoyment....

Commodity tea has this ISO standard (also called cupping).

The reason that this method, over a method that results in a better tasting cup is used, is because commodity tea is selected via flaw minimization and consistency testing.
They "look" good. Really well crafted, although some really questionable, like "I ran out of ideas, let me go crazy here".

But one has to question the UX and the design of these. First of all, readability is primordial. Second, you have to stick it on every car, some back and front. Think of all the colours of cars out there, and they're going to age in the sun etc.

Most people want no plate or a plate that doesn't steal from the design of the car. Black on white or white on black, done.

Save these for your man cave, next to your neon lights above the bar. Man, they'd look good there. As it is, it stays mostly has a designer puff piece, a portfolio piece.
>isn't this why we have pre-tokenized sql queries? they've been around a long, long time.

Because it's not a silver bullet. At least for postgres, they only allow parameters with literals. Something like

SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = :username

works fine, because :username is substituted with a string literal (eg. 'user@example.com'). However, you can't do

SELECT * FROM users WHERE :column = :value

(to do dynamic lookups), because you can't use :column to select the "username" or "email" column. Of course, using an ORM or query builder can potentially solve this issue, but getting those to work and/or refactoring your code to do so is non-trivial, and it's not guaranteed that they're safe from sql injections either.
> The cost via your own account on Stripe

But it's not the cost for operating the payments gateway. It's the cost for the channel.

The real world equivalent is supermarkets, retailers etc charging for products to be stocked on their shelves. Customer acquisition is extremely expensive and difficult and stores expect to be compensated for it.
Ironically, TN just announced a new plate that looks very similar to this design (which says it is from 2014).

It even has the ~same "TN1796" example text.
At this point I've sort of just accepted that in this day and age, surveillance is inevitable and past a certain point, trying to maintain my privacy comes at a huge cost in terms of convenience that I'm not willing to pay. I certainly value my privacy but at the end of the day it's a balance for me. I'd rather put the effort into making sure I'm not so tied to a specific platform that getting cut off would be devastating, which is why I've been working on moving stuff over from old Gmail accounts to my Google Workspace account with my custom domain.
I like linking to this site [0], the "The Grand Unified Theory of Documentation" that describes four categories of documentation that fill out a 2D space of potential docs value: the practical steps <-> theoretical knowledge dimension, and the useful when studying <-> useful when working dimension.

* Tutorials - Learning-oriented - (practical/studying)
* How To Guides - Problem-oriented - (practical/working)
* Explanations - Understanding-oriented - (theoretical/studying)
* Reference - Information-oriented - (theoretical/working)

It passed through HN ~9 months ago [1], where
kaycebasques stated, "I think the key breakthrough with Divio's framework is getting authors to think about docs in terms of desired goals and outcomes: learning-oriented, problem-oriented, etc."

Honestly, no need - if you’re going that route, I’d personally want a XRF machine or ultrasound tester at least.

Plenty of reputable shops, and most are more than happy to do cash transactions.
What if a smart person thought of a crypto currency and then foresaw its devastating impact on the planet, what do you think that person would do?

I belive smart people want to work on ideas that are net positive and as you know many ideas (even successfull ones) are net negative.

* Airbnb - locals are outbidded by tourists

* uber/lyft - better solution is public transportation

* Amazon - big marketplace but no idea whats fake and have to pray to god that no one dies while trying to deliver our orer

* Roundup - kills grass and also friendly insects on top of that gives you cancer

* Teflon - no need to burn calarioes on washing dishes but pollutes ground water with forever chemicals

* meat industry - you get tasty meal but animals and earth suffer

* Zillion sataliets in orbit - remote locations (no one lives or not need) gets access to internet but astronomy suffers

the list goes on
As a consultant, I am routinely given hundreds of new files from new clients which are usually a mix of Word documents and PDFs of policies, procedures, and standards. Then, throughout the course of the engagement, I often have to pick out certain phrases or topics from these large datasets in order to reference them in a report.

Windows File Explorer can do this to some degree. I am not sure if File Explorer looks at the actual content of the documents or just titles. Either way, Recoll is magnitudes better and is absolutely worth it for my case.
I don't know why you're so unwilling to believe those screenshots are from Trump's social network. Dozens of different people independently posted screenshots of the network, including some trusted reporters. It would be quite a conspiracy to suppose all of them coordinated and lied about those images. Such little to gain. Such massive consequences.

If you need more evidence, here [0] is the archived login page from the mobile version of the site before it was taken down (because it was flooded and trolled). By comparing it visually to other mastodon instances and inspecting the source itself, you can confirm there was a mobile mastodon instance up at the given archival time. Additionally, the press release [1] links to the social media website [2] which links to the app store page [3] which has preview images that are very similar to the images posted on Twitter.

> Similarly, I read once that ugly people pay higher interest rates on loans despite being more likely to repay them.

"Hey there. It looks like Saturday night will be another lonely one since nobody is attracted to your ugly mug. But here's good news: you've been pre-approved for a $20,000 loan at a special introductory rate of 40% APR!"
>Anecdotally, I have investments in both traditional managed funds and contrarian managed funds. It seems to take longer for the contrarian funds to "strike gold" and overall they have not done better than my traditionally managed funds, but have still done significantly better than leaving money in a "high-interest" savings account.

How have they done against the S&P?

There are affordable electric cars on the market today with better build quality than what Tesla sells for $80k. Someone will make a killing off affordable electric cars. Every indication is it will not be Tesla.
Fair enough. A big part I didn't mention was the desire to deprecate my old @gmail.com addresses while still having access to Google services, and as much as some of the redesigns have bothered me, I still prefer Gmail's Web UI over other providers.
The other reply is correct. He is a union employee working for a major carrier.

He drives nights up to the legal number of hours/miles as required and sleeps in cheap hotels during the day. My understanding is that his carrier does not use sleeper cabs because they use the same trucks for both local and over the road deliveries.
AWS WAF might be very useful, but there's only so much you can do when the database is mysql.

Postgresql has been around for a while. There's literally no reason to use mysql except legacy code in life support mode.
Smart people also realize the world isn't perfect, and it wasn't before we were here either. In a world where long term outcomes have infinite factors taking actions with short term benefits is rational because there is no control or impact over the long term effects.

That is obviously not totally true, but I think probabilistically speaking, it's _somewhat_ true.
It is, in fact, nothing more than a word cloud.

To prove this, I note that all you do is put quotes side by side that have some key words in common.

You have not managed to describe Bastiat's economic theory or compare/contrast it with any other theory's core beliefs. The passage you cite is a generic flourish that contains no economic content. So this is literally a word cloud argument with two out of context sentences in completely different economic paradigms.
I had two 2016 15” machines (personal and work), and upgraded the personal machine to a 2019 16” for the better keyboard. I actually just got my work machine upgraded to a 2019 16” as well. Not a single issue with any of them. 14” Pro on the way now… :)

According to my father, there is a labor shortage for this position, at least at his company.

He is pretty high up in seniority, but there are so few drivers that he still gets called in on days he would normally have off because they don't have enough drivers under him.

> The third story describes the suppression of rebellious students led by a character named Enrique at Havana University (featuring one of the longest camera shots). Enrique is frustrated with the small efforts of the group and wants to do something drastic. He goes off on his own planning on assassinating the chief of police, however when he gets him in his sights, he sees that the police chief is surrounded by his young children, and Enrique cannot bring himself to pull the trigger. While he is away, his fellow revolutionaries are printing flyers. They are infiltrated by police officers who arrest them. One of the revolutionaries begins throwing flyers out to the crowd below only to be shot by one of the police officers. Later on, Enrique is leading a protest at the university. More police are there to break up the crowd with fire hoses. Enrique is shot after the demonstration becomes a riot. At the end, his body is carried through the streets; he has become a martyr to his cause.

Uhh... wouldn't Cuba arrest and / or execute a capitalist university student protesting the communist government? Doesn't seem very accurate

I have worked at Apple so I know for a fact that Ive wasn't running around the company dictating to everyone what every detail of every product should be. That's not how the company works.

And you were talking about product features e.g. TouchBar and ports. Those definitely aren't the sole decisions of the Design team.

I really appreciate that you used the technique that people were discussing and it still seemed to work here, at least it worked on me. I found myself thinking, "No no, that's not a dumb question at all and I feel grateful that you asked it!"

So, thank you for that meta experience :-)

That's the usual case, but not the only case. Like you said, publication review didn't happen back then. But yet peer review has still been happening in science for thousands of years. People still judge researchers based on h-index, which just means number of citations. Yeah, publishing in high impact conferences helps influence that, but it isn't necessary to the process. But peer review (in the more broader sense) is still essential to the process of science. Publication review is really only one step in the peer review process.
How is Plywood and OSB recycled (for the municipalities that do so)? Wouldn't the different types of glue (from different manufacturers or grades) cause problems there? Or is it just used as an industrial fuel where the glue is burned off?
That would be my guess.

Camera man #1 is on the ground. They attach the camera to some sort of pulley which pulls it up the wall. Camera man #2 is on the roof and walks to the room where they're all sewing and then attaches to a second pulley that is suspended from cables running between the buildings (you can see them at the top of the shot).
C and C++ have noticeable differences, despite a common origin, and should be treated as different languages.

For C, many people recommend Gustedt's "Modern C" which is available in print but has a free ebook version (https://gustedt.gitlabpages.inria.fr/modern-c/).

For C++, Stroustrup's "A Tour of C++" seems to be well liked.
We’re discussing Google’s 15% cut of subscriptions purchased through the Google Play store.

Google doesn’t require anyone to pay Apple $100/year, nor does Google require anyone to buy Apple hardware.

So none of the costs you mention are relevant to the article we’re discussing.

And Google doesn’t run ‘an exclusive mobile app repository’. A dozen or more of the apps on my mobile are installed from F-droid, and Google does nothing to prevent those apps from working.

LAX changed how ride sharing services worked in the late 2019, with a new program called LAXit.

It was HORRIBLE. A total shitshow. As someone who travelled a few times a months, it added 30-60 minutes to the time it took me to get home.

There's several articles written about how terrible it was. The only thing that saved them, ironically, was COIVD & the collapse of travel. When it comes back it's going to be a disaster all over again.
The problem with using HN for this is that it doesn't provide any vetting. You don't know if you share enough beliefs to even begin to become friends. You don't necessarily have a shared experience to relate over.

still many bridges too far to make it clear what connection these data models have to with what the rest of programmers do. i continue to believe theres a huge amount of overlap, that these are not really different topics, but that there's some large gulf we have yet to see ourselves across. nice to see a survey, a broad examination, but still no real ground gained that i can see in doing the core thing: explaining how these semantic systems are just a re-expression of already familiar programming language systems (or otherwise unified).
I'd be very surprised if animal glue was used in any engineered wood. Even in fine woodworking it's a niche product; it's expensive and generally doesn't work as well as other glues.

The opening of Touch of Evil (1959) is a long tracking shot that is beautifully choreographed:

pretty cool.. thanks for sharing :)
Some of these look nice. I like the Iowa one more than the current design.

Some look completely impractical. How is the California plate supposed to work when there's a 10-character license plate number on it? Is it supposed to all be crammed into the yellow part on the left? Does the yellow part expand to completely hide the bear, and remove that embossed element? Or does the license plate number spill past the yellow and overlap with the bear illegibly?
