I predict in 2025 - California will be the first totalitarian state enabled by Big Tech fusing with the State of CA. Basically exactly like the CCP + Tencent. Total unaminity in the population, political dissent is instantly castrated by media or Big Tech's social apps and search engines, 90% people will be voting in unison for the same candidate. 10% left are constantly being squeezed out, until we have basically North Korea.
I guess this is more related to card counting
If you use the static typing eyes, the Python list is homogenous: every element is of the type reference to python object. There's no funny business with types, just one reference after another.
Step 1.5: Decide you're not making progress on the problem, look up the answer on MSE, say, "OK, I get that" and go on.

Alternate: Ask a question, get a not-quite-right answer, and find yourself completely stuck two chapters further in with no way of figuring out where you went wrong.
Hydrazine is not used very much as a rocket fuel. It's expensive, toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, flammable (not escaping that though), and explosive. It also has a freezing point too high to be used in space (MMH, monomethyl hydrazine, is used in spacecraft with NTO as the oxidizer.)

The best fuels for the first stage of launchers are hydrocarbons, due to their low cost and good density. And the first stage is where most of the propellant in a launcher is consumed. The cost of propellant becomes increasingly important as the cost of the launcher is reduced; for SpaceX it is very important. The use of cheap propellants also allows more testing of their engines.
US emissions are ludicrously high per capita but shrinking. The rest of the world's are higher overall and growing.

I'm not sure the mentality that it'd be rude to consider tackling the latter problem unless and until US per capita emissions drop below the global average is going to help the planet.
It is usually only when you wake up from a dream when you find out it was only a dream.

You are making the mistake, as many do, of assuming that the illusion is not real. The illusion is real, but the ego, which is created by the illusion, is not real.

One would say seeing a person floating during a magician act was real because we experienced it, but the only thing real was the illusion performed by the magician.

This is an article in the LA Times by a columnist who works for the LA Times.
As an aspiring helicopter pilot, I am both awed and repulsed. Vietnam was something else for helicopter pilots. That level of skill would be hard for a perfectly-programmed autopilot to do.

With regards to Vietnam, a legend that I was told (but cannot confirm) was that Hueys had such bad tail rotor authority that they would take off straight up with the whole airframe spinning. Once high enough, the pilot would start the helicopter moving forward, which would allow the tail rotor to bite more, and the helicopter would stabilize.

Crazy if true. And after seeing a stunt like that by a bona fide insane and top-tier veteran pilot, I believe the legend.

> USA hides it when we do it because we're at least embarrassed about it

Who's embarrassed by it and who's hiding it?

The civilian Afghans killed by ISIS- K are terrified because that is the point. The civilian Afghans killed by Americans are still terrified because they are largely irrelevant to Americans. Which is its own point. These deaths aren't being hidden from Afghans by Afghan media. They are being ignored by US media. The killings are chocked up as "accidents" and the machine moves on.
Our sense of me-ness seems real but it probably shouldn't be from a scientific POV. A decent part of our body is made up of bacteria that doesn't even share our DNA (gut bacteria, etc). Our minds have very little control over most of our cells. We generally have a ship of Theseus going on and replace most of our cells every few years.

The borders of me-ness are also interesting to consider. There's already a slight feeling that tech like cellphones could become an extension of our body. Will that feeling change if we start implanting tech?

With social insects like ants, is an ant more like an individual organism or are ants just limbs with the hive as the "me"?
I'm sympathetic to the big names, but the reality is that the game is changing and they need to reset their expectations (and budgets) accordingly. ScarJo was fully justified in her complaint, because she's caught in the middle of a paradigm shift not of her own making. Her next big deal will likely be of the money-up-front variety.

Who I don't have sympathy for is the auteurs like Villaneuve and Nolan who tout their theater-only aesthetic. Movie makers have been raking in billions from home entertainment for decades now, often more than their big-screen box office. Yes, the theater experience is great, but it seems a little disingenuous to complain about the streaming experience when it's the 21st century equivalent of VHS, DVD and BluRay (which is, of course, a 21 century technology, but work with me here). A lot of us aren't going to see your cinema art on an actual cinema screen; adjust your aesthetic to create a great experience on everything from a silver screen to an iPhone and let us give you our money without denigrating us for not placing our butts in theater seats.
While it is disappointing that there are cases rising in those places, hospitalizations are remaining constant, which is a good sign. Hopefully it means that even if there are break through cases, it will continue to mean that fewer people are getting severe cases.
Doesn't look normal to me.

I have a 4k Vizio dumb tv. It was the only one I could find that didn't have some laggy android/web OS and it's been solid for 4+ years. Never once connected it to the internet though.
So many things that go from initial concept, to full implementation, then thinned out, and back to a full implementation in a new technology. A good example is from centralized mainframes and terminals, to desktop computers, then client-server, then thin client, rich client, and finally rich client in a web browser with centralized app hosting on a cloud server.

The future of programming environments could be the 'browser', not as in web, but the Smalltalk kind. There wasn't concepts of source files, and edit/compile/run weren't so distinct. Producing 'an executable' was merely saving the environment state. A platform that could work like that adding recent advancements like versioning and remote collaboration could be powerful and easy to use. Deployment could also be a very not-so-different thing than saying run that image on up-to-N concurrent hosts configuration.

One thing that I'd like to see attempted differently is removing the 'procedural' style so prevalent that it's barely even noticed as a choice. Immutable datastructures makes lots of things simpler. Not rebinding values to named 'variables' can also eliminate classes of bugs and sources of confusion. This can be done badly as in XSLT where you end up using recursion for the simplest things. There can also be better ways like the functional style that's gaining some adoption, e.g. map, filter, take_while, drop_while. Basically changing our thoughts into starting values, ending values, and transformation expressions in a declarative style, rather than the nitty gritty of pretending to be a CPU combining registers, loops, conditions etc.

This is not a thing.
Unfortunately with almost all this stuff you realise quickly it’s been written by someone with an understanding of nonduality, which makes it not so useful to anyone who doesn’t. Which is almost everyone.. I mean, we can actually explain fairly simply once you understand it but for anyone who hasn’t spent two years on the cushion it’s indecipherable. Saying “I am every cup of tea and lion” maybe makes sense to me, but probably not to others?

I wish we had a way to communicate this stuff better, we’ve been trying for a long time..
Bifurcation has never been a thing on desktop platforms and even most entry-level (single socket, desktop-equivalent) servers don't support it. It seems to be reserved for HEDT and real server platforms. (This is of course purely a market segmentation decision by Intel/AMD).
It's easier than that, simply make carbon neutral transit cheap and carbon intensive transit expensive then the market will innovate. It's just no country wants to take a hit on their economy to force the transition to happen.

And those Windows boxes wouldn’t be able to do much without the ones Linux powers, but that’s beside the point: Windows is an OS. It’s quirky and feels weird for the Unix crowd, but a lot of it will be oddly familiar to the VMS elders.

> The idea that there is virtue in paying because it incentivizes better corporate ethics is absurd on its face.

This swings too far. Yes, you can for a product and still be a product. Selling a product doesn't necessarily incentivized good privacy behavior. But using ads _almost definitely_ incentives poor privacy behavior.

So you just have to be careful, but on the net paid products are probably more aligned with privacy
Maybe not. Imagine what a rhinoceros is worth to someone in an Africa. It's (hypothetically making up numbers here) a car or a house or food for a year.

For the right person in the US the cost of keeping that rhino alive in their backyard (or safe from poachers in a reserve in Africa) is much much more but both not an inconceivable amount to pay and not an undesirable one.

The best part CO2 capture is that motivated resourced people could in theory act without the worlds cooperation. People who aren't motivated and/or resourced could choose to not act and the problem could still get solved.

Currently the only way to achieve that kind of effect is to help under-resourced people to act by giving them resources. I would suggest that for a lot of reasons this is a very tricky solution.
Open it up and remove the card/chip.
WiFi host networks are frequently queried by all nearby devices to see what access points are available. Collecting device IDs that are scanning is useful information since for a long time and on most devices, the MAC address was not rotated so it acted to identify people and where they go with mobile devices.
Reminds me of this Vonnegut short story:

"amendments to the Constitution dictate that all Americans are fully equal and not allowed to be smarter, better-looking, or more physically able than anyone else. The Handicapper General's agents enforce the equality laws, forcing citizens to wear "handicaps": masks for those who are too beautiful, loud radios that disrupt thoughts inside the ears of intelligent people, and heavy weights for the strong or athletic. "

You can break out of the network effects with some effort. One of the top journals in machine learning nowadays is a community-run open-access journal that does not charge authors, JMLR (https://www.jmlr.org/). There's a bit about its model here: https://blogs.harvard.edu/pamphlet/2012/03/06/an-efficient-j... (previously discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15280736)
I get the general point you're making, but in a progressive tax regime like the US, the poor (who benefit most from lower food prices) are paying proportionately less of their income as tax than the rich, so this is helping them. Many US families paid no tax in 2020 due to tax credits, so they won't pay for the subsidies.

I would definitely argue that there are simpler ways of helping low-income families to afford food though, if that is your goal... just lower their taxes further, or give them negative tax / UBI if they are already paying no taxes, rather than adding lots of complex gears to distort the economy to try and affect the same outcome. Or more food stamps if you don't like the idea of poor people spending their tax rebate dollars on non-food items that they prefer.
Parent poster isn't demonstrating that?

Selling of buttons on remotes absolutely does not involve 'tracking and then selling viewing habits'.

The homescreen ads may or may not involve any tracking - I suspect they likely do not - they're billboards, and they involve showing ads to users but not tracking their viewing.

(I have no information on how streaming revenue share is structured, so I won't assert anything about it. I can easily imagine it going either way).
Ah yes. I confused two different ideas. Thanks for the links

Actually when I re-read your comment it doesn't seem so flamewarrish to me—sorry! a lot of the time I'm skimming these things in haste.

A couple bits that do correspond to 'the flamewar style', though, are when users start telling each other to "chill a bit"; and when people start arguing about "moving the goal posts and putting words in my mouth". It's a reliable sign of bad internet discussion when people start arguing about they are or aren't saying (rather than talking about whatever the ostensible subject was).
I never made an assertion to the contrary, but I think economies are also useful for permitting specialization (and hence supply chains, to create more complex goods) and amortizing local disruptions to supply (e.g. food stores, trade) and probably a bunch of other useful things. They can also enable large scale waste, environmental destruction, debt traps, extreme inequality etc
Best I can offer is for data structure think about working backwards if possible.

Every time I've been involved in projects using 10TB+ data it's the processing that tends to expose the most bottlenecks. Nothing competes with making a pseudo dataset about 5%-10% of the size and running benchmarks which roughly match your expected workflow.

Good luck
It's great that covid came along so dystopia could be built up in just a few years instead of decades.

Converting sunlight to electric energy and then using that energy generates the exact same amount of heat as if that sunlight was simply absorbed by the ground without the solar panel being in the way, as per the laws of thermodynamics.
The article describes exactly why people were not told to wear masks: because it was the best scientific knowledge at the time.
Speaking from limited knowledge isn’t lying.
The alternative there is to do pre-combustion CO2 capture on the methane, storing hydrogen (or hydrogen + nitrogen) for use in the peaking turbines.

Another possibility is to store CO2 underground, and when "charging" use a solid oxide electrolyzer to turn it to carbon. When discharging, it would be run as a SOFC and produce CO2, which would be cooled and stored again. I believe Noon Energy is looking into schemes like this.
That's not feasible right now, and certainly not in the future.
They offer publishing authors the credentials of having published with then, which is useful for e.g. getting tenure. And since they have a monopoly on those credentials, they can charge good money for that.
Came here to recommend the same. From the book's website:

Ask HN: How would you efficiently confirm who your actual target customer is?
Hello HN!

I have built GetMyMFA (https://get.mymfa.io), a simple web application allowing individuals and businesses to simply rent and receive SMS Multi-Factor Authentication Codes.

This website has been built after our business had the need to test our mobile and web applications with multi-factor authentication through multiple users (thanks Quality Assurance team!).

Being a reader of HN and multiple entrepreneurship communities, I felt that building this product might be worth the effort as it is likely that other businesses have the same problematics as ours!

I am having a hard time defining a strategy to efficiently approach my target customers (small businesses & iOS Development companies). Currently, I am cold-messaging via LinkedIn CTOs of these companies but the approach doesn't feel very efficient.

This leaves me wondering the following two things:

1. Am I getting in touch with the actual target customers? What do you think would be the most efficient way to quickly validate or refute my hypothesis?
2. How would you efficiently contact startups and small businesses developing iOS applications and/or building their QA team?

Thanks a lot in advance
I think privacy advocates think that there’s this massive untapped market of single-issue consumers who would gladly spend the extra money for this kind of thing.

I don’t think it’s there. I’d be willing to bet appliances are already a commoditized market and the margins are already painfully thin. “Absolute killing” it would not be.
I assume upthread is talking about Boulders “urban growth boundary”.

I think the most likely “free market” result of removing the restrictions would be what they call “suburban sprawl”.

There are a lot of reasons to consider suburban sprawl damaging/harmful/polluting.

There are a lot of valid critiques to be made of an arguably NIMBY policy like the urban growth boundary, but it’s more than just “farms are pretty”.
During the installation I add Netcat to have a bind shell, this way you can get a CMD shell from Linux using the "vmshell" command included in the image.

If you talk about this at any length and don't mention proxy warfare, your view of the situation might be superficial.
NVMe as originally conceived was still based around the block storage abstraction implemented by hard drives. Any SSD you can buy at retail is still fundamentally emulating classic hard drive behavior, with some optional extra functionality to allow the host and drive to cooperate better (eg. Trim/Deallocate). But out of the box, you're still dealing with reading and writing to 512-byte LBAs, so there's not actually much that needs to be added back in to make NVMe work well for hard drives.

The low-level advantages of NVMe 1.0 were mostly about reducing overhead and improving scalability in ways that were not strictly necessary when dealing with mechanical storage and were not possible without breaking compatibility with old storage interfaces. Nothing about eg. the command submission and completion queue structures inherently favor SSDs over hard drives, except that allowing multiple queues per drive each supporting queue lengths of hundreds or thousands of commands is a bit silly in the context of a single hard drive (because you never actually want the OS to enqueue 18 hours worth of IO at once).

I'm not sure why people are surprised or educated when this reality is explained to them. Surely there's not a single man alive who really believes that slots etc. offer a 50/50 chance of winning? The house always has an edge of one or several percentiles, which make up their average profit margin of every dollar that passes through the establishment. These days casinos prefer to not call it an edge in their favor, but rather paint it in a prettier and somewhat delusive light by using the term "RTP" - return to player.
