> More importantly, there is no value in you, me, or any layman without an even undergraduate-level understanding of math and physics questioning anything that you don't know a single thing about.

It's not something "I don't know a single thing about". I know some things about it. Perhaps I could observe (since we're on the topic of what people don't know) that you don't actually know what I do and don't know.

> You don't even know what you don't know,

I cheerfully concede that the number of things I don't know is infinite.

> and despite your claims of humility, your earlier writings clearly demonstrated either incredible arrogance, naivety, or both.

If it's "incredible", then you would appear to have a problem; it seems that you are convinced by my demonstration of arrogance and naivety, even though it's not believable to you. Make up your mind.

I've not insulted anyone; all I've done is to question certain ideas. You, on the other hand, have written a long comment that consists of nothing but personal insults, and contains no information.

No doubt safer for IFR purposes. I have a little time in a G1000 but a lot more with aftermarket Aspen panels, I put them in my own airplane back in 2014.

I had no problem taking off into a fog with 3D terrain in the panel. On old mechanical gauges with nothing but a beep telling me about the mountain? .... not so much....

Then again, I also live in North-Central Texas. Every black spot on the ground that you can't see at night is a cow pasture devoid of trees, land in whichever one you like with your dead engine and your odds are pretty good.
I had a Zoom external 56k. My internal 14.4 went kaputski and to replace it I went external because by that time, all the internal modems were WinModems and I had Linux.

Mummy’s older than we thought: new find could rewrite history
To what degree does a monkey know what a fire truck is, compared to a child? Yes the child might even understand that it's a vehicle, but as far as being a toy is concerned, it's a block with wheels, as long as the monkey is not pretending firefighters come and go from the fire truck (which children also don't do, unless it explicitly included small figurines, functional doors etc) I really don't see the problem.
Why not? Change of life. I had never lived in another country. I knew I was missing perspective and I definitely found it.

> I don’t even like dogs and I think you’re being uncharitable to what are complex living beings with histories and trauma just like humans.

Actually it's the exact opposite. We reduce these complex living beings to a "all dogs are good, only people are bad".

> But they’re also right — dogs really don’t bite for no reason.

People don't assault and kill for no reason either, doesn't mean their victims, or the person bitten by the dog is at fault.

Denser cities seem to be even more expensive than less dense cities (eg New York, Shanghai, Singapore, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Melbourne, etc…). So my guess is that denser cities already provide higher quality of life that people are bidding up.

Eventually the government can only intervene with middle class public housing (eg in Singapore and a lesser extent Hong Kong).
Note that following pulverisation, the dust cloud would be under the effect of the gravitational field of the cloud itself, and tend to re-coalesce.

The initial pulverisation would presumably result in a distribution of velocities amongst particles. Some of those would achieve escape velocity and leave the cloud. Some would not.

Time to re-coalesce would depend on the total cloud mass and maximum extant itself. In total, it would be relatively quickly.

The resulting re-agglomerated impactor would then resemble a rubble-pile or the World's Largest Dust Bunny. It would be significantly disrupted by both tidal forces and interactions with the atmosphere, though of course, how greatly it is disrupted by atmospheric friction would again be a function of mass.

I read recently for the first time about what happened to the Maya at the hands of the Spanish and I was shocked at how bad it was. Even just in the context of the destruction of knowledge it was terrible. There were thousands of books recording centuries of precontact American history that were all destroyed by the Spanish. Only four examples out of the many thousands of piece of Maya literature have survived to the present. A few quotes from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maya_codices:

"Our knowledge of ancient Maya thought must represent only a tiny fraction of the whole picture, for of the thousands of books in which the full extent of their learning and ritual was recorded, only four have survived to modern times (as though all that posterity knew of ourselves were to be based upon three prayer books and Pilgrim's Progress)."
— Michael D. Coe

"We found a large number of books in these characters and, as they contained nothing in which were not to be seen as superstition and lies of the devil, we burned them all, which they regretted to an amazing degree, and which caused them much affliction."
— Bishop Diego de Landa
I just wonder which parts would be broken?

Both parts --- all parts. Most web sites depend on Javascript in some way.

The "bad" kind of advertising is the personalized, algorithm driven kind built around privacy invasion.

If you go to a pet supply site, an ad for dog food is reasonable, perhaps even appreciated. This is the "good", informative kind of advertising.

But just because you bought dog food, you shouldn't be bombarded with ads for cat litter on a site that deals with cell phones.

This is mainly just an annoyance, the private data behind it is subject to abuse and there no good reason to believe this "bad" advertising is any more effective than the "good" advertising. But the "bad" ads are more profitable for the ad networks.

My advice --- check out the Brave browser. It offers a simple, easy way to block most of the bad and replace it with good advertising --- no global tracking or privacy invasion required. And unfriend Facebook and say goodbye to all things Google.
I'm still so confused about why a glorified text editor would need GPU accelerated text rendering. It's never rendered slow for me before. Seems like not trusting the OS to do things right and re-inventing the wheel yourself for little gain.
>"A Picture says more than a thousand words."

If I give you a thousand word essay, good luck crating an image that conveys the same information. I mean you could photograph the essay, but then we're back to text again.
It's a shame that the rules are so convoluted for the App and Play stores.

Otherwise you could make a "App Director" app and then just have people use your web app. As native functionality is needed it will delegate to the "App Director" app. Perfect example being notifications and interfacing with things like the calendar and contacts.

This sort of app wouldn't be allowed on both stores.

Zoom is massively overvalued and technology wise doesn't have much to stand on. Why wouldn't they just develop their own as Google did? These days video codecs and special sauce for high scalability calls is (relatively) well understood.

If you were going to buy something Citrix is probably the most cost effective but I doubt you are getting much there either other than existing contracts. There is a good reason Zoom was able to take so much market share from Citrix in the first place.
A century from now we might be metaphorically drowning in excess energy (e.g. instances of negative energy costs) due for example to the TW Solar installs being planned.

In such a scenario, there are wild things you could imagine from a materials and construction side that could plummet building costs.

Additionally, if 2D agriculture is ever disrupted, we would recover a lot of land (ever driven across me NE?).

Don’t forget, we can fit 2x the global population in a city the size of Texas with a typical city population density.
If people are avatars, then the amount of information exchanged in a conversation between them is the streaming audio and vectors describing the position of the avatar's bodies; I feel like this would be less bandwidth than is required for video chat, although the expectation of low latency will likely be greater due to the immersion.
It would depend on the codec they choose. You're definitely getting more delay and jitter regardless, but g.711 is commonly available for voip and is essentially the same encoding as on a t-1/e-1, but with packetization delay (a t-1 multiplexes with one sample per line per sample period, in voip you generally send 20 or 40 or something samples per packet)

The Oculus Quest is pretty light, you don't really notice it. They also have replaceable sweat pads you can add. The most intensive/tiring game I've played in terms of rapid movement was 'thrill of the fight' (boxing game) and never had any issues. Movement on bike/rower is less than that, so I don't think you'd have issues.
Antimeta is gonna be a thing. I think that things like SL, Sandbox and Decentraland have a better chance of succeeding in continuing building an open metaverse.

Maybe we need something like an http/html standard for the metaverse?

Heck, even commercial offerings built on top of Ethereum sounds much better then built on top of Facebook.

To me it's like Microsoft in the 90s trying to claim they can build a better proprietary Internet... In that sense its actually pretty scary, so let's hope Zuckerberg and his unethical leadership isn't the one to succeed since given past track record its not gonna be pretty.
Yeah but I'm not going to push my real car anything like I would a video game car because I do not wish to damage it or injure myself.

Who makes the rules for the aptitude? Who decides if it's scientific or not, and what the limit is (p .1 or .001, study design, etc)?

The people running the system makes the rules. The general attitude is to treat the law enforcement side more favorably than the defendant, to the point that they are basically assumed guilty from the start.
Ah, takes me back to my first enthusiast build, an overclocked Pentium D 830, 1gb ram, and two of these drives in Raid 0. It felt pretty wild for the time.

Wasn't part of the motivation for moving to 2.5" seek time? The arm has a shorter distance to travel?

I heard about a hack I never tried, myself, where you buy an oversized hard drive and only use the beginning of it. Hard drives store data from the outside in, so you can improve latency by minimizing arm travel, and improve throughput by storing data where the linear velocity is faster. No idea how big of a difference this would make.
They weren’t scammed anymore than roulette “scams” many of its players. NFTs are pure speculation and gambling.
Good friend of mine is a white male O-4 BN in the Navy, previously a marine, from a family of predominantly white men in the Navy/military in general, with female family members also in the military.

He first started talking to me about this "perceived issue" you speak of back in the beginning of 2019.

Has repeatedly stated is the most hilariously stupid white nationalist and incel-esque shit he's ever had to hear about or deal with

Along with the fact that everybody he's observed as a marine and a Navy BN spouting off about it is typically an obnoxious douche who everybody hates and is generally incompetent at some of the easiest jobs our government provides citizens.

So, after reading what you've posted, the theme of it seems to line up with his, his families, and all of his higher ranking friends observations - just another person butthurt about females and people who aren't white, likely because you feel you've somehow been wronged by them in life or have other issues you need therapy for.

But go on about this being the issue, and not many of the clearly observered, defined, and reported on issues that the Navy/US Military in general is facing. Hint: one of them is white nationalists, and the poor quality of service/general incompetence and questions about loyalty that typically come with them.

Losers is something I can recall him repeatedly referring to them as, but I'm not sure how appropriate that is for HN.

And, since we're in the thread about the Bonhomme - I'll mention he has some very nice footage of the fire from Coronado bridge.
Yep. Our weekly long run takes us through an off leash park, never had an issue with literally dozens of dogs every run. Dogs are all socialized; running around, chasing each other, running beside us, barking happily.

All my unpleasant dog encounters have been with people who can't take their dog to the off leash park ...

> "or at least would pretend to."

True, and I was obnoxiously snarky. But for something so high-profile and emotionally charged, the loss of face, loss of control, and other big downsides (for those in power) kick in as soon as a nation even pretends to allow a serious international investigation.

I will not argue that a cover-up in most Western countries would have nearly the prospects of success that one would in China (also not asserting that China is doing any meaningful cover-up on this). I will argue that those in power would (per Churchill) probably do the right thing only after exhausting every possible alternative. Note that most Western countries have had their citizens "up in arms and furious" for a good while now, over the endless screw-ups handling COVID. Sadly, that has neither ejected many politicians from office, nor caused a mass outbreak of government honesty or competence.

(Personal aside on the "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" crowd - both of my grandfathers were country blacksmiths. That profession is only possible because iron and steel get soft enough to work with simple hand tools at temperatures far, far below their melting points.)

modern software spans the globe, often communicating with 3rd party systems, operates 24/7/365, and is often at the whims of deadlines. its some of the most technically challenging endeavors in existence.

"The issue is that we’ve been sold the idea that drug dogs are effective, not that jurors are gullible."

But we know that they are gullible, they take police as a trustworthy source of information and assume police would not mislead them. Nimerous studies have shown that.
Let's switch to green capitalism. Appropriate public policy can focus capitalism on mechanisms that reduce carbon emissions, on intangible assets, and preserving other species.

I don't like articles and headlines that blame "capitalism"; it's the lack of good regulation that's the problem. For example, let's focus on "How to turn the GOP green": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29049723

That's the one thing I don't understand about NFTs. Proponents claim they're supporting real artists, but so many of them are run by totally anonymous teams. The other big issue is that OpenSea has (what I assume) are non-binding bids so you can bid up your NFT. And obviously you can buy from an alt account or have an insider buy it.

I would like to see an NFT market that burns 50% of the amount with binding bids and escrow. No one like burning tokens, but that'll make it a lot more expensive to have an insider inflate your NFT

The rug pull here is also weird, because the project was a success. Sure they may have overpromised or been in over their head, but the organization and brand has at least some value. They could have sold it and not just abandoned it since they didn't owe anyone anything
Just like that? Why shouldn't people have the right to live in less dense places, if they pay for it?
> It's funny because Casey made this video partly to push back on people like you who come up with limitless excuses for why slow code is "actually the right way to do it".

I'm not saying it's "actually the right way to do it", I'm saying that it's how it's done in real life. That kind of argument reminds me a lot of Robert Martin that is always saying that the fix to software is to have everyone be more disciplined. It's true but it's also absolutely useless. It's like saying "people should be less mean to each other". Yes, they should, we've been saying that for thousands of years. Does that come with anything? A new tool to show how fast your code can be? It's nice to show to people how fast the code can go, especially since the students didn't seem to think that it was possible. But then what?

> And if the reason we write slow code is to save programmer time, as your other argument goes, why is it ok to put 2 people to write code that can be written by 1 guy?

You measure time in man hours, not just in men.
Aesthetics are disalienating.

Separating humans from simple beasts of burden, toiling away in suffering, hoping only to be well-fed, and survive another day -- but no more.

Aesthetics are a respite.

Without, man becomes alienated from his humanity. Demoralized from losing a powerful moralizing force.

My interpretation of Marx, Engels, Hegel, et al.

In a certain vein, the U.S. lacks the same richness for it, compared to much older Western European countries (who haven't had theirs, their history, their culture, their identity, the very things that enliven their soul, destroyed by oppressive regimes. E.g. Stalinist communism).

Why do the French constantly raise hell when things are going poorly? Because it's in their history, it's their aesthetic that they cling tight to; for otherwise, they would be swallowed up by the world, and swept away.

One could even postulate that this is why our nation (the U.S.) has had such a rough adolescence, and hasn't yet made any truly novel attempts at Making Things Better (TM).

All are demoralized, with no true moralizing factors besides one's kin (but those are always unstable sources of moralization, and liable to one day disappear -- compared to the more concrete nature of culture).

If you kill a man's family and friends, what can bring him out of this abyss? Having lost his only moralizing force, that which enlivens the soul, what is there truly left for him to do, but become an animal toiling away until he one day dies?

Attacks on culture are rampant eveywhere, but the U.S. has not yet cemented theirs in the ground -- so there's not much at all of a culture to attack.

Truly exciting times: to think what happens in the next hundred years will serve as a foundation for the future.

There will still be strife; but what type of culture will mature?

I used to work for the company that did tech support for McDonald’s. They were still using USR modems to transmit data from restaurants to corp way into the 2010s, like 2015 or 2016!? They sucked to troubleshoot because nobody knew what a modem was anymore, but on the other hand, they were kinda indestructible.
Technically, you can already do that today, as many youtube-videos have now autogenerated subtitles. Someone just need to build a tool utilizing them for this. Though, to be fair, the quality of those subtitles is sometimes a bit questionable. And they are not available in all languages. Especially if you want a different language then what is spoken in the video.

But yes, of course this is another case in which text can shine because of its weakness. Simplicity can be beneficial.
The HTTP request does not have the users private keys. That never leaves your phone.
