Which certainly is easier to coordinate as a company. Part of the reason Apple does entire OS patches as that it allows every aspect of the system to have a consistent view of each other part, so API (private or public) are all in sync between all the apps and components. It also means full QA passes are for a consistent set of versions as unexpected bugs can impact far away parts.
I think Shotwell keeps Elon away from SpaceX, and that's secret to SpaceX's success compared to Elon's other ventures.
> The fact that you don't want to consider someone's 20 year battle with chronic back pain, or neuropathy, or any other chronic condition, to be "an objective malady" doesn't make you the arbiter of what's real and what isn't.

Objective means measurable, definable, quantifiable. It has nothing to do with real or not. The human body is so complex with so many possibilities, I find it uninteresting to speculate about unknowns, hence restricting my request to what I am interested in.

Dying is an objective condition observable by others, so it piqued my interest as to how it was determined someone died due to a nocebo.

> But that's a huge transition to make on the back of a program that hasn't proven its key value proposition yet.

The article agrees! Author's point, as I read it, is that if NASA does not plan for the transition now, then by the time Starship "has proven its key value proposition", both NASA and its usual contractors will be out of the game, as a new breed of private companies takes over most of space activity. The author doesn't expect NASA to bet on Starship, but rather to at least make some internal noises and initial movements towards that transition - but he failed to find any indication of that for the past 2 years.
You can get VLC on Apple TV which makes streaming most things on the LAN simple enough but yeah, just using the USB port on the TV would probably work for that use case. The UI is miles better on the Apple TV and the remotes are very good, but you do need to create/use an Apple account in order to download things (like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime etc.) from the App Store.

I agree that their stuff is high quality concept-wise; at the same time their products are not very durable. E.g. OP-1 is prone to failures; knobs break, ports and keys stop working. In case someone likes high quality and durable products, I recommend doing careful research before buying from this brand.
If the solution proves ineffective, will you ever read about that fact anywhere?

> Big annoyance with SFF builds is noise.

Not really any more. Most popular mini-ITX cases for enthusiasts support 240mm AIOs for CPU cooling. Noctua even has low-profile air coolers that fit in some mini-ITX cases and rival their biggest heatsinks in performance.

The SFX PSUs are slightly more expensive, but the good ones are so efficient that the fans won't even turn on during normal (non-gaming) use.

Modern SFF builds can be extremely quiet.
while I genuinely agree with your intent, I don't think abstinence has been very good at achieving the outcome we're hoping for.

Education, not fear is what allows people to decide for themselves if they want to try/use something and it seems more likely that if/when they try these substances they'll at least be prepared for the consequences and be more likely to be responsible with their use.

Anecdotally I have many friends who were taught abstinence. Once they got into weed they realized just how much of a lie abstinence teaching was, they then graduated to trying other drugs, but not responsibly, because they had no idea how these other drugs worked. They had no idea what an OD might look like or what the risk of getting poor quality drugs might do. e.g. look at cocaine - how many people have any clue what that is cut with? I'd imagine almost every single one of my friends couldn't tell you what north american cocaine is predominantly cut with and they couldn't tell you what to do in the event of an OD, or what the exact symptoms of a cocaine OD even are! The lack of education is terrifying, really.
In that case, pick the system which is statistically dominant and clone that. That'd be GNU first and FreeBSD second. The standard can be some subset of their behavior.
That turned out to be a fake story. [1] A youtuber/comedian conned Vice into printing it. Still a good vulnerability and a real risk.

YouTube Music, Spotify or Apple Music (whichever one you prefer) is definitely worth it to me.

I listen to so much music from so many different artists all of the time. I could never afford to buy all of that music in a long long time. And Apple Music, just like Spotify that I used to use before it, helps me discover new music all of the time.

Also, streaming music from service like these, is much more convenient than owning the music. More convenient than piracy even.

Are you sure there's just one "conservative" narrative on the issue?

Even if we limited the discussion to considerations that only conservatives find compelling, I suspect we'd see at least 2-3 distinct issues.

You might be interested in the "Blender 101 (Application templates)" item in this roadmap:

> Being able to configure Blender for personal workflows is a key Blender target, part of the 2.8 project.

> To bring configuring even one step further, .blend files can be used to replace the standard startup file – creating ‘custom versions’ of Blender this way. These templates will allow to completely configure UI layouts, define custom keymaps and enable add-ons to run at startup. A smart Python scripter can design complete new applications this way, using vanilla Blender releases. As prototypes the team will release a couple of simple templates: a video-player review tool and the 100% dumbed down ‘Monkey Blender’.

> A template used this way will be called “Blender Application Template” or just “Blender App”. Planning is to have this working as beta for Blender 3.1, after extensive testing and reviews by contributors and module teams.

I think the bigger issue you're going to run into with "make Blender but simple" is that the subset of features that you want in a simplified blender is a different subset from what other people want. You want to do rigging on imported object files, but for somebody else rigging is a feature that would get cut out completely. They're just trying to model a doughnut and a coffee mug and do a still render of it, or at most animate the camera moving around the scene.
The most impressive example I've ever seen of this kind of compiler cleverness is the following function from the "convoluted isEven" competition:

bool isEven(int n) {
return n == 0 || !isEven(n + 1);
}

Clang somehow optimizes it to a constant-time implementation, even if we use "unsigned"!

Not universally, but it's hard not judge when you see what some people are buying with their (restricted) benefits card(s), and then what they ring up separately and choose to spend their cash on.

I think it depends largely on how much you're exposed to it.
I am sorry, can you explain this to me step by step? My computer makes a DNS request through Cloudflare, which forwards a request to archive.is's DNS server which is apparently going out of its way to carefully prevent anyone from figuring out that I wanted to access archive.is... and then my computer ruins all of that by making a direct connection to archive.is's web server. If you are a "nationstate actor" able to randomly sniff traffic in various places, the DNS request doesn't seem to add any value over the web request. What is the actual attack? Be more specific.
The idea that parents are not responsible for their children's education is why American education is a failure despite spending the most per capita.

We should look to Asia for a good model. The culture promotes parents taking an active role in education and schools publicly rank students to motivate achievement. The results show in international competitions, college admissions, and grad school admissions.
That’s fine, I’ll easily believe “medical research can make no accurate predictions in this domain” - in fact, that’s my prior. In any case, people shouldn’t go around speaking as if placebo is this established strong phenomenon.

I often think of this observation by Bruce Sterling:

> I'll believe in people settling Mars at about the
same time I see people setting the Gobi Desert.
The Gobi Desert is about a thousand times
as hospitable as Mars and five hundred times
cheaper and easier to reach. Nobody ever
writes "Gobi Desert Opera" because, well,
it's just kind of plonkingly obvious that there's
no good reason to go there and live. It's ugly,
it's inhospitable and there's no way to
make it pay. Mars is just the same, really.
We just romanticize it because it's so hard to reach.

I actually disagree that they shouldn't allow alternatives for `which`. IMO, just provide all of them and let the user decide. I should be able to choose from GNU which, BSD which, busybox which, or an alias to `command -v`. Default just keep it as GNU which.
We've been relying on manual testing so far. We're just starting to think about unit tests and integration tests. We don't know where to start. Would be cool if you could provide guidance on setting up good testing practices in the first place so that we avoid flaky tests all together.
UBI can be modeled in SimCity.

Turn off disasters.

First build a town with surplus cash with enough Healthcare, jobs, industrial areas, police and fire. Now grow your city until you unlock the ability to tax specific segments. Make sure your city is still in good condition before you start the experiment.

Clone the save file so you can run a control.

City A change nothing an let the Sim run for a year.

City B lower taxes for the low income to 0. Your city should have enough surplus income to make you not go into the red starting this experiment.

Post your results for the Tale of Two Cities simulation.

Edit:

Someone posted this:

https://www.polygon.com/videos/2021/4/1/22352583/simcity-hid...

And then deleted it, probably for fear of reputation or downvotes. Chilling discussion doesn't serve to educate or bring us closer together.

I am happy to see the link from Will Wright and it make a point perhaps we shouldn't trust the initial Sim City engine to modeling, but I would much prefer a person who never flew a plane but has spent time in a flight sim trying to emergency land a plane rather than someone who never flew a plane or used a flight sim.

I heard of 'command -v' once before years ago, then completely forgot about it until this article. I don't like it because it's harder to type and harder to remember (why the -v?).

But I've only been using Unix for 37 years, so I'm not really competent.
I'm a little ambivalent on the entire concept of UBI, specifically in regards using it instead of other social safety nets (e.g. food stamps).

I believe this study, and I believe that a vast majority of poor people would spend the money reasonably, but I do think there is a small subset of poor people who will be "perpetually poor." They have little/no financial literacy, they'll spend the money in a fairly frivolous way, and I think giving them raw cash instead of something more or less boxed-in like food stamps can lead to a lot of issues.

I think a lot of people see the majority of poor people acting extremely responsibly and just assume that irresponsible people don't exist. The problem is that they do, even if they are a minority, and we do need to help them too.

I am much more open to a UBI if we have it in addition to our current welfare programs, a lot of people would definitely benefit from having a guaranteed safety net, but I think we shouldn't forget that "the majority" doesn't mean "everyone".

----

EDIT: It appears that I didn't explain myself very well. I'm not trying to give a Reagan-esque welfare-queen thing, specifically because I actually would prefer we increase welfare/safety-net spending instead of reducing it.

I'm not trying to shift a burden of blame on anyone, I'm sure there are socioeconomic reasons to why some people lack financial literacy.

I guess what I'm trying to say (and this may come off as hyperbolic) is that I get a little bit of a social-darwinism vibe when people act like people mismanaging money don't need to be addressed in topics of UBI.

Obviously not everyone says this, but there is at least a subset of people who pretend that nearly everyone, given enough money, is this hyper-rational actor who always spends their money efficiently and that we shouldn't worry about the 1% of people who aren't.

Even if it is just 1%, these are still humans, these are still people we should take care of, and these are people that depend on the current level of social safety nets.
In my opinion this is probably due to cost. Not just how much this would cost today but the personal cost as well.

Aviation is a pretty expensive hobby to get into nowadays. You're looking at $10,000 just to get your private license. This really limits the kind of people that can get into it. And the opportunity cost for those people to take 2-3 months off for a stunt like this is really high. Never mind the time that it would take to prepare for it.

On one hand, you have a lot of folks that get into it as a career, so after their initial investment (mostly folks get money from their parents, some take out loans) you spend a lot of time teaching so you can reach the 1,500 required flight hours to become an airline transport pilot. These kinds of pilots are more interested in starting to earn a living rather than take months off to perform a stunt like this.

On the other, there's a good number of older, wealthier, folks that are near or at retirement age. These kinds of pilots aren't the kinds of folks that would be able to sustain months of endurance flying and living.

Then let's look at the costs. Cessna 172s are still being made so we can compare prices. In 1960 a 172 cost $9,450[1], which is roughly $87,000 adjusted for inflation. A new 172 today will cost you over $430,000! A lot of this price increase has to do with the exorbitant cost of insurance for manufacturers beginning in the 1980s.

Just for fun I also looked at the gas costs, they weren't as high as I initially thought they would be. There's not many great sources besides anecdotes that I found, but aviation gas (avgas) was around .30c / gallon in 1965 [2]. A 172 in cruise will burn around 6 gallons per hour, so in 1965 two months of continuous use nets $2,500 ($23,000 adjusted for inflation). Today avgas is almost $5 / gallon, so that's over $40,000 just in gas costs.

Fortunately it is not up to armchair science enthusiasts to determine whether the evidence for dark matter or dark energy (which are unrelated concepts that share similar names) is sufficient to validate those theories. That would truly be a disaster.

Every time fundamental physics articles are posted on HN there's some commenters who say something like "I dunno about this dark matter stuff, even though I know basically nothing about it". It's the physics equivalent of being an anti-vaxxer: you have only a superficial idea of where ideas come from or why they're considered credible and you naively assume that the experts are in the same boat, and therefore it's you against them and you both have equally valid stances. The newsflash is: the experts on these subjects know _so_ much more about what they're talking about than you can possibly imagine in your armchair, and you have no idea the depths of the analysis they've done, or how comprehensive and repeatable the measurements were that led to these theories being taken seriously.
Thats not what endemic means. Endemic means regularly found. The virus is already endemic throughout the world.

Either way these vaccines will not accomplish your stated goal. The vaccines wear off too quickly. The virus bifurcates too quickly. With Pfizer talking about the need for quad shots, you cant manufacture enough vaccines for the world in the various variants present.

However, forcibly injecting people (legal assault) with the vaccines will create a very angry, motivated, minority. A recipe for a society to descend to hell.
I think they meant “type information is not available at parse time” (rather than “compile time”).

There is a longer and more precise description of the problem as part of this FAQ of the generics proposal:

https://go.googlesource.com/proposal/+/refs/heads/master/des...

…which includes an example and the statement “It is a key design decision of Go that parsing be possible without type information”.
For equal chance of all orderings, yes. "Equal chance of going first" is more flexible, though I expect at some point we hit a limit in expressiveness (at least) if we're still using 6 sided dice.

I don't know whether any of those can be non-transitive, though. I'd guess that it's sometimes possible but it's only a guess.
If you aren't able to tell the difference between “the goal is X” and “it's likely we do X in the end for security reasons” then there's not much point to have a conversation.

>In terms of “off-label” drugs, the FDA approval process is there to protect against liability. Effectively, the government accepts some liability and in return medical companies get some protections. It’s highly likely you’ve taken drugs “off label” yourself.

Off label drug use/ approval isn't about government liability. As far as I know, it has none. The noteworthy exception is the vaccine's, where the government has a special injury compensation fund, but I wouldn't call this liability . It IS about manufacturer liability, and insurance reimbursement.
If you want to keep up on it, a great source is The Economist. They have a strong free market bias (it is the solution to all things) but they provide serious analysis, including serious economics, accessibly and succinctly. Paul Krugman is good too, when he writes an article on economics - he clearly distinguishes his political preferences from the economics, and presents all serious sides of economic debates (and he has a Nobel Prize in economics).

> from what I can tell, most of these ideas come from academia, but without much rigor or data to support these new taxation plans, and the legislators who support them do so for largely un-scientific reasons (e.g. has a good hook for a title)

Can you give some examples? I think it's too easy to deride everything and everyone; some are good and some are bad ideas.

I agree that policy inevitably goes through the filter of politics, though I think that's essential: The economists who designed the policy cannot know the needs of people in District 9 of North Carolina, and human nature is to designate inconvenient needs of others as nice-to-have, but unnecessary category. (That's how, IMHO, so many policies benefit the wealthy but not working class or poor: It's wealthy people making the policies.)

Of course, that can go too far. We won't get perfect laws.

Prince Rupert is also physically closer to Asia (saves 2-3 days of sailing time), and has very little other sea traffic. The rail line is also expanding, and has very little non-port traffic.

The port itself is protected by geography, and is one of the deepest natural harbours in the world.

It's a neat place!

I’m sorry to use anecdotal evidence, but I have to strongly disagree this is a straw man. I spent the first 20 years of my life surrounded by strong conservative influences and the belief that people getting assistance are addicts and stupid with money is key to the conservative platform. Most of conservative economic beliefs rely on the idea that poor people are poor because they’re stupid or lazy.
