More generally find a DSLR that is on sale/refurbished. I used to be a Canon fanboy but I first wound up with just one lens (20 mm prime, which I love but my wife hates) and then I lost my camera.

I wanted a full-frame camera and shopped Canon and Nikon and found all the photographers were complaining that the autofocus was unreliable on the lower-end full-frame bodies.

Mine is an α2 and I paid about half that much when they were on sale. Good luck during the global electronics shortage.

I have five or so lenses and a powerful flash. I usually get stuff refurbished from B&H, Adorama, etc. (Just linked to Amazon because the B&H link from Google had an advertising link that was busted)

It takes more of a commitment to photography than most people want to make but I like the results I get from a good session.
Then you get a separate battery. But the vast majority only drives their car back and forth to work, so most of the day the cars are just standing there and could be charged.
yes but the reason is because of smells that will cross onto your property. plain tort law will allow you to seek compensation for that

> Where did you find this information about the situation in Switzerland?

Sometimes on Friday evenings there is a show broadcasted by the italian-speaking Swiss channel called "Patti chiari" which discusses problems/scams/etc... => two months ago they showed this small doc ( https://www.rsi.ch/la1/programmi/informazione/patti-chiari/I... ) that included as well scams about fake apartments being available to be rented.

It's a small self-made reportage, so it might be available to be viewed outside of Switzerland. But the audio is available only on italian :P

The problem is still that I would probably not give me my email address if I feel unsure if you'll then disclose it to 3rd parties un/willingly... :)

To just try out the automated part of your service maybe you could generate a ~random code that would allow the user to check the status & see the results of his/her submission?

In general I mean that I didn't understand if you'll just provide a generic answer (e.g. "the house/flat is OK!"), or if you'll provide something like a list of checks that were performed coupled with some confidence level (e.g. "Duplicate of 2 published pics -> found on these XX sites -> 50% bad", "Address -> not found -> 100% bad", "Phone number -> does not belong to address area code -> 100% bad", and so on, not sure what else can be checked...), or something else.. .

I don't think that the site shows at least an example of the result that somebody would get, or have I missed it?

Below links to the song. It is arbitrary I suppose as it could be any number that the songwriter worked into the lyrics.

Political science studies in English-speaking universities would uncover this. There isn't the same opportunity for public-exposed internal investigations in countries where media and whistleblowing is less free. Whistleblowing does not have to be safe in the US to still be more dangerous in another country.
My view is one shaped by a family of immigrants. In the end life isn't about right or wrong or morals or ethics. It just is. Much of it is out of an individuals control and never was or will be. All you can do is control how YOU react to those factors. You can complain about them and get ground into powder, or you can adjust to make your own life better.
The US military has made plenty of mistakes but it is easily the fighting force that has done the most to ensure the rise in standard of living across the globe via protection of shipping lanes and maintaining global order

What an embarrassing article to publish. I can't believe someone was paid for writing this many words about this particular topic. Regardless of if you agree with his politics, there is nothing opulent about having a net worth of $2 million at his age with his level of success. Much of his money was made through writing a book and you know he would be willing to pay the increased taxes himself. Just stupid.

It matters for among other things drinking and driving. You would save way more lives in the long run if you fixed this than had a few covid lockdowns. There are also positive health effects to moving stronger alcohol away from grocery stores, do both and it becomes a no brainer positive effect. And no whining about "freedom", if you think that locking down people is fine in order to save lives then you can manage to buy alcohol at daytime at special stores.

How would that work? Every time you create an object, internally it creates one of everything?
>country that wouldn't come under US pressure

Given the context of also asking for bombing to stop, that seems like they were trying to stop the US from using military pressure to force their will on Afghanistan. The deal wasn't even considered, who knows what they were actually trying to negotiate.

>I don't see what's so unreasonable about handing him over to the US tbh

History has now shown the US was willing to torture people associated with al Qaeda, and execute Bin Laden then desecrate his corpse. They were absolutely right to distrust the US there.
I wonder if there could be an evaporative cooling like effect in play here? That is, everyone who is willing to move has already moved; as a result, the remaining population biases towards those unwilling to move.
How far are you along training? I'm trying to decide between helicopter or fixed wing. Or did you start from fixed wing and go to rotorcraft?
Because there are no jobs there.

Yes remote might fix that, eventually. But I strongly doubt that, especially as humans are social animals.[1]

However The UK is a more extreme version of this. People move to london because it has the most concentration of high paying jobs, and as a side effect culture (what that is I leave up to you. I don't just mean music, cinema and posh people shit.)

Now, I could move back to bumblefuck rural england, but I would have to exchange an underserved IT job market, with a median wage of >£60k to a once/two company town with a median wage of £38k. Combine that with houses only being 30% cheaper, and higher transport costs, no nurseries or comprehensive child care, the countryside can be a real pain in the tits.

Costs are higher in the countryside, as there are less public amenities.

So no, people can't just move, otherwise they would have done already.

[1] there are two classes of remote "influencers" the first ones seem to be happy working alone, permanently. The second appears to be the ones that are "jet setting" where they work in a new country every other month. Both of these groups represent a tiny minority. I strongly doubt that we should be optimising for these two noisy classes of people. I suspect, and me, my team and wider company data backs this us (even though its shallow evidence) that they more popular route is hybrid.
There's a whole generation of filmmakers that shoot everything on a sound stage and have all the complicated stuff done in post. As the generations from the 70s/80s/90s who blended practical effects with tasteful CGI use retire, their knowledge and wisdom will be permanently lost.

It's part sad and disgusting.

I think you need a free tier of your product. This gives options for people to try your product without committing to license. Maybe even try to get some companies on free trial or special early adopter license.

Secondly, you should try to target smaller, less techie companies using your personal connections. Once you have a free tier, you could create YouTube channel and try very small FB campaigns.

I think your product have a lot of features, but it is not obvious what type of workflows it can support well and how this would integrate with existing tools like email. Your website blog is empty and there are no links to documentation or your social media channels.

You should find someone in enterprise sales and get paid consultation. HN is possibly not the best place to ask this.
Fennel is a lispy language that transpiles to, maintains the semantics of, and seamlessly interacts with Lua! It’s a fun little language to mess around in, and does a good job showing off some of Lua’s Scheme heritage, while also using some compile-time features to smooth out lua's rougher edges (checking use of undefined variables, macros, local variables by default…)

For sure. One of the early stages of many Buddhist meditation practices involves reflection on this question, looking for the "me" using various methods. Eventually the realization is of the emptiness (sunyata) of self and all phenomena. There's nothing that can be solidly considered self (atman). The Heart Sutra is one of the texts that elaborates on it:

That’s like saying the only reason rock music is stuck on tube distortion is because of cultural programming, and hi res solid state amplifiers are objectively “superior” in some way.

Is this number really true? I remember a study from Italy (on Dr. John Campbell's channel) that there were 0 death from Covid* in people under 40 that were healthy.

*Covid was the cause of death, not sepsis and btw he tested positive for Covid.
Ask HN: Could we create and scale a low-/no-cost scientific publishing platform?
The modern scientific publishing industry charges seemingly exorbitant subscription (or author) fees, given its reliance on unpaid academics for not only the research itself, but also editors, board members, and peer reviewers. The Journal of Machine Learning Research seems to provide evidence that this service can be provided for a fraction of the cost (<$10/article) at least in some circumstances; on the other hand, the non-profit PLOS network still charges $1339/article for open-access publication.
Could we do better, at least for some larger segment of the market than is currently served by no-fee open-access journals?
What services would have to be provided? How much would that actually cost, in money, volunteer hours, or compute resources?
Essentially you need to get issued a fake vaccination record by the actual medical system.

My local news had some people admitted to hospital with Covid and despite having the certificate, not having been actually vaccinated (which can be seen in blood tests some time afterwards) which has resulted in identifying some medical personnel who had been issued fake certificates of vaccination without actually vaccinating people; since every certificate "knows" when and where exactly you got the vaccine, which exact batch/vial of vaccine was used, and the institutions' medical records will show who (supposedly) made the injection.

The prosecution for the document forgery is still ongoing, but since some of the affected patients died from severe covid, that's essentially wrongful death through intentional medical malpractice, so the involved doctors/nurses will not only lose their licenses to practice but are quite likely to see jail time, and since a nontrivial ratio of people do get ill as Covid is still spreading, if someone fake-vaccinates a lot of people, they are likely to be identified.
You hardly do anyway - these costs are aggregated in with existing costs (labor being the largest) across 1000s of products and 10000s of transactions.

Loss of lift due to the interruption of the airflow causing the helicopter to crash into the ground at speed? Or suddenly lower pressure above the helicopter causing it to be "sucked up" into the ceiling.

I think the pilot is probably correct that the stunt could only be pulled off at a higher speed where you can outrace the low/high pressure zones the blades are creating.
Astroworld Festival was a mainstream festival with average aged festival goers dying in the main act.

I have no idea on your point? A lot of people are trying to make Astroworld be on a boundary, I guess?

Step one you worry about the middle. If crystals don't also fracture on the middle then it's a bad analogy. Rocks aren't the same as processes.

Nope.

What is the utility of cloud computing for archivists? Is it too expensive? It seems like the longevity is fairly proven at this point. If you put something in S3 in 2006, it's still there. GCS was launched over ten years ago, too. With a multi-cloud strategy you could probably make the case for durability, certainly as a 2nd or 3rd replica that just happens to be dramatically more convenient than optical discs.

Considering that many government records are now produced in the cloud anyway, it makes a certain sense. USGS elevation models for example are hosted on S3. Are they also on tape somewhere else?
Can you imagine only needing to take a 5% pay cut and just _solving_ global warming? I'd sign up in a heartbeat.

We're all going to end up paying a lot more than 5%, some of us a _lot more._
I agree, however your point about 3% isn’t quite true. Look at the last 12 months rolling and estimated total solar and divide by total electricity and you get about 3.7%:

Which brings us to the interesting question: how does one done actually blow up a pipeline? Any takers?
You’re right. They were. My mistake.

Personally I don’t like those either. I’ve experienced it with printers (which can only be configured initially via USB and some app), 3D printers (configured by putting an SD card in your computer), and other gizmos. They’re all a pain to deal with, especially if your WiFi details change or their IP does.

Some others expect you to connect to THEIR Wi-Fi network instead. Which is also a complete pain.

I don’t mind having an app to make the device more useful, but it needs to have enough controls on the front to use the thing and preferably reconfigure the Wi-Fi if necessary.
haiya. sauce pan. what you doing? Uncle roger gonna smack you.
Hmm insightful, yes I recall noticing that connector/specification thing when I was trying to get the right size cards, had figured NVMe and M.2 were just synonyms but I see the cause for the correlation now

So the NVMe card I added to an old motherboard’s PCI-E slot is really just PCI-E on PCI-E? yo dawg

Well, not sure you can call it "real" really, the crocodiles were kept in that specific place, it was attempted many times and so on. What people wanted to convey is not that it's not actually real life, but it's most likely faked real life, just like that Bond stunt.
The real idea is not using cars for storage but end of life car batteries AND simply using the same factories that make car batteries to make grid batteries. AND, since vehicles will be a significant source of our electricity demand, we can use them as "storage" simply by not charging them at some times.

I think most people don't realize that V2G tech is old (Chademo supported it, and older Leafs can already do it natively, and they're about a decade old), but it's expensive. You basically need a DC charger for every car that will be doing V2G. Look up how much a DC charger is, and you can get something like a dedicated Powerwall for the same price...
Well, yeah, the cacheline can be considered a kind of a 64-byte block. But it doesn't work like this because of how RAM works - you could access DRAM in words if you wished to; it's just that it doesn't make sense because of CPU cache. For flash, the blocks (and pages) are inherent to its design and there is no way around it.

Also, RAM "block size" is 64B, while for flash its more like 4kB. CPU cache will "deblock" the 64B blocks, but it can't efficiently do it for 4kB ones.

And then there's the speed. Does replacing PCIe with a memory bus actually make a performance difference that's measurable given flash latency?
> Because there are no jobs there.

This is simply not true. There are a record number of job openings. I would go on to say that there has never been a time in history where finding a job was this easy.

This is a separate issue-- article is about tv surveillance and these tvs you link only that happen not to show ads "on the TV's smart platform."

I'm going to rankly speculate that every smart tv does surveillance on the user on part of either the manufacturer or some third party that pays the manufacturer for the data. Otherwise why bother putting a damned wifi chip and browser in the thing at all? I'll take my tinfoil hat off if anyone can link me to an extant business model that includes all that smart business yet somehow doesn't leverage it to make money in our modern economy. But even then it had better be no data leakage by design (which, if it's connecting to the internet for whatever purpose I can't possibly see how that would work in practice)-- otherwise one update and you're back to square one.

Additionally, your link doesn't include the few tvs that happen to be good ole' non-smart tvs. Check out feature #9 on my Walmart special:

> USB – USB connects to USB flash drives for playing music and picture. The USB port is also used for updating the display’s firmware.

So good luck with your Smart TV Behavioral Modification Systems that may or may not shoot ads at your head, HN. Meanwhile, I'll be sitting in the privacy of my own home, sipping tea wile deciding which jpeg I'm going to play next.
