Thank you for proving my point. Airtel 1GB data, just "data" used to be 198 rs before jio was introduced. Now you can get 1GB everyday close to that price, thanks to Jio.

Docomo was a classic "unreal cheap prices to pull in customers and we'll get acquired". Comparing it with providers that actually stay in the market is.. weird.

> I used to have balance like 50rs per 6 months.

Lol. You realise you are the exact reason they have activation charges now right? You can't be this clueless.

> Now I gotta pay 100rs per month to keep my secondary sim active and 300 or so per month to have data + unlimited calling

You're either using it all completely wrong or someone else is scamming you. I pay 299 per month for 2gb data everyday plus unlimited calling. I have never heard of this 100rs activation crap for a phone you're actively using. If you are not using the sim why do you need to keep it "activated". I think you need to get a better understanding of how these things work to make your life easier.

If you still can't figure this out and have so many problems why don't you switch to another provider that is better? Oh wait there isn't one. Otherwise you wouldn't have a jio sim in the first place.

I'm gonna file this under a bizarre case of person who has trouble understanding how basic phone recharge works in India and just wants to complain about Jio.
Supply chain + inflation-adjusted dollars though?
> Another related issue is that a new architecture which breaks the scalability limits of previous generation will produce new and distinct entities. If intelligence and self-interest often correlate, a machine might be vary of creating a better version of itself lest it be replaced.

That assumes AI will manifest as multiple individual entities. I day-dreamed about this many years ago - what are the limits to intelligence, and what possible forms can it take, are 'societies' like minds, etc?

It seems to me possible that single, distributed mind might be the ultimate form of intelligence, in which case the AI would not be replacing itself, but upgrading itself.

Perhaps that is already happening.
I think JetBrains has a great system to it.

cmd+shift+a opens a command palette with every possible command in the IDE. It matches as you type the name of an action, and every action has a keybinding shown to the right (if it exists).

Every relevant button generally has keyboard shortcuts right on them.

And pressing cmd+e opens a list of gui interactions you've made so you can repeat them (things like focusing buffers, clicking on a file in the project file tree, etc.)

Basically, if you know cmd+shift+a, you're golden for learning commands and key shortcuts.

In comparison, emacs/vim are pretty awful. I've done a few tutorials of each and while I could have spent more time learning them, JetBrains makes it stupid easy to start learning the editor.

My partner and I were given one of these: https://www.dualit.com/products/classic-toasters

They're dead simple, and work excellently. The bars you're mentioning are single, wide and flat, so they'd support thin slices well.
Sadly this is the exact reason I switched away from it. I couldn't copy/paste in commands from coworkers or use common web projects (I'd have to either search for a fish replacement or convert it myself... Or just launch bash/zsh).

Really nice shell though, I hope it gets more traction.
Are there studies which back this? Are we sure that reducing virus in solution will improve immune response? Has any study been conducted on the efficacy of zinc supplements when sick with covid?
Both Chinese and Americans are more or less equally propagandized, the difference is that the Americans don't know it.

In China you know that whatever is getting media traction has been de facto approved by the Party. In America you have virtually no idea which special interest group is currently lying to you through the media, and they will never be held accountable.
>Bly therefore saw today's men as half-adults, trapped between boyhood and maturity, in a state where they find it hard to become responsible in their work as well as leaders in their communities. Eventually they might become weak or absent fathers themselves which will cause this behaviour to be passed down to their children. In his book The Sibling Society (1997), Bly argues that a society formed of such men is inherently problematic as it lacks creativity and a deep sense of empathy. The image of half-adults is further reinforced by popular culture which often portrays fathers as naive, overweight and almost always emotionally co-dependent.

>Historically this represents a recent shift from a traditional patriarchal model and Bly believes that women rushed to fill the gap that was formed through the various youth movements during the 1960s,[21] enhancing men's emotional capacities and helping them to connect with women's age-old pain of repression. It has however also led to the creation of "soft males" who lacked the outwardly directed strength to revitalize the community with assertiveness and a certain warrior strength.
For all the negative votes I just recieved, I trust you all realize this is exactly how all fiat money works, right?
> Would you be unhappy to be very wealthy, without a job?

Absolutely. Working on stuff for my job that I’m passionate about gives me great fulfillment. Being paid for my skills is recognition from society as to the value I provide.
Thats quite an obtuse response that I doubt most health experts would agree with let alone most countries.

Over half the turbines were completely frozen. Wind typically accounts for ~22% of Texas power supply. Meanwhile, there was a record high spike (nearly double normal loads) in demand for electricity. If not for natural gas, the blackouts would have been even worse, because at least they were able to be ramped up and provide some power via rolling blackouts.
What if universe inherently limits the possibility of singularity?

I think there might be a limit to potential intelligence of a system due to physical constraints such as speed of light.

Perhaps such inherent limitations logically prevent the destruction of the universe by a singular organism.
They bury the lede in the last fucking paragraph. The reason this toaster is immensely better than the toaster you have at home is very, very simple: this toaster's 1949 price would be hundreds of dollars in 2021 terms.

You can still buy really, truly excellent toasters made for industrial/commercial use, or for the homes of the very rich, and they're quite a lot better than the trash people keep in their houses. And they cost a lot more, too. Last time I checked, a commercial 2-slice toaster was in the $300-$400 range.

This is true for lots of home appliances. My favorite example is the Kitchenaid mixer. The modern mixers are very thoroughly "value engineered" to keep the price down. If you want to buy an original "Kitchenaid," like they made in the 1930s, you can call up Hobart and buy a miniature mixer. And it will cost you ~$2,000 in 2021, just as it did in 1935.

You can have the good toaster, the good mixer, etc, but it sure looks like people don't actually want that. The pattern of product offerings in your average store suggests people want something affordable, and it doesn't particularly matter whether it is good at its job.
I read the title as being about a ban on profiling fat people.
Sorry, I didn't mean that what I said was the origin, only that was what it was marketed as around that period, and I should clarify my context that I was talking about what it was like in Canada, where it has only relatively recently become a thing. I guess what I meant to refer to was its etymological shift from the "selling excess stock" narrative in America (which itself was just a rebranding of the previous meaning) towards becoming a global event of consumption for consumption's sake in itself.

Maybe I am wrong, but I feel like it has only been within the past couple decades that we have seen things marketed as black Friday outside of America, or sales co-opting the name for things like pre-black Friday sales, extended black friday sales and things like black Friday in summer.
IntelliJ has a M-x equivalent and IdeaVim covers text editing. I literally never touch my mouse when using the IDE. I really don't think this is a compelling argument.
>In fact the better the virus gets at infecting our cells and evading immunity, the more likely it is to also spread to dangerous / lethal levels before our immune systems are able to stop it.

Can I ask for some related literature on this topic? This contradicts my understanding.

Your premise is incorrect. There are high end Windows laptops with chassis just as thin as MacBooks.

As I understand it, The Gripen has a much lower operating cost than the others [0].

At any rate, I never said cost was the only factor - only that it was an important (read: non-arbitrary) one.

My Terraform Standards – something I use to inform my code daily
Work it with a mentalist angle.

Separate the cards into a face up and face down, shuffle, deal out two piles while explaining that you can read their mind. That you can pull numbers right out of their head.

Have them pick a pile. Slide it over to them and slide one under the table while telling them so you can't see what you're doing. But really it's because they can't see what you're doing.

Tell them to go through their pile and count the number of face up and face down cards. But don't tell you. Emphasize that they shouldn't tell you the numbers. Once they have the counts, stare at them, make some jokes about what they're thinking. Then shuffle the cards around under the table a bit. Make it look like you're thinking about what you're doing, mutter, "yes, yes, no, up, down" etc.

Then after a few seconds, say you got it and do the reveal.

Bonus, if they flipped their deck before counting and therefore the counts are backwards, you can go "ta-da" and flip your deck in front of their face, working the misfire as a false reveal.
If you weren’t in a city that’s the difference. You only need to travel like 20 miles south of San Francisco to never see homeless people. Mountain View might as well be a different country.

Honestly, it's just a good reminder of -- hmm, how to not be rude here: So the people here are generally smart, but sometimes otherwise smart people get these mental blocks about things, and clearly don't understand "positive risk."

So again, free advice. Put some money in crypto. Think about the largest amount that wouldn't hurt at all if you lost it and put that in. Otherwise, you're really really not being smart about this.
This week-long freezing event had never happened before in the state of Texas. The entire state was blanketed and plunged to temperatures colder than Anchorage, Alaska. We had single digit temps in Austin. Austin, has the same latitude as Jacksonville, Florida. This isn't some "flagrant ignorance" this never happened in modern meteorological history in Texas.

No website but check out the Shop app on your phone. Kind of does that. I also really enjoy the product tracking.
The sticker (while cost effective) is still problematic.

Having the manufacture make it a permanent part of the device using something like engraving makes it more robust and harder to subvert. Unfortunately as a side effect it increases cost per unit.

The sticker's not that bad, but it depends on the devices usage scenario.
Better to use zgenom, it supports almost every plugins and faster.
Alpha was more lethal than delta from the sequencing reports posted by my State in the U.S.

.4% lethal compared to .3% lethal when I last checked.

So thats one goalpost. Another litmus test is that if delta was more lethal it would have been a very popular media talking point. Fear is unfortunately a successful motivator for clicks.
to operate and use a tui like emacs with confidence and start typing at the speed of thought:

consider putting a photo of your keyboard next to your screen and painting the keyboard a nice uniform black.

your body-mind's intelligence will swiftly learn to position your hands and coordinate your/its fingers without adding things to unlearn later.

the photo of your keyboard near where you are focusing when looking at the screen makes a huge difference, one could start with just that.
I have seen no evidence to support this yet but I do not mind being proved wrong.
Supply and demand wins again I think. None of this is a surprise given price inflation and supply shortages. Probably at least another year of this as covid is far from gone with delta + antivax.
I took a 5% cut when I went to management. I'm taking a 30% cut going to a start up as a dev (no RSUs). I'm looking to be excited again. It would be financially smarter to stay at BigCo, but I want to enjoy the ride to retirement even if it takes longer.
I figured this out last year, I bought a big set of Dewalt power tools which sat unopened for a long time but I had to buy them at black Friday to get the deal. When I went to return them they were almost 10% cheaper then when I bought them except Lowes had also snuck in a monstrous $100 shipping fee that I didn't notice at the time meaning and which was non refundable meaning I probably paid 30% above retail because I so desperately needed these tools that I wasn't ready to use.
I see this being echoed in many different ways. For myself, this aspect of PHP is how I was able to get into software development for fun in my younger days. "Change this, save it, refresh and see what happens" was amazing for motivation at one point in time.
No it doesn't it looks like recklessly spreading disinformation during a crisis purely for personal political gain.

The US has had strict border restrictions on foreign citizens through most of 2021 too. So unless you are going to call the Biden administration racist and xenophobic as well, then this reasoning doesn't work. But even if you did, then what you're saying about barn doors still contradicts what most experts have said in terms of reducing the movement of people to slow the spread.

Polarized plugs have one of the prongs bigger than the other and will only fit one way into an outlet. This ensures that you actually know which wire is hot and which wire is neutral and can ensure the switch controls hot (the power source) rather than neutral (the power return).
>one-size-fits-all aircraft usually ends up with an expensive 'camel'.

Isn't that precisely what the F-35 has been criticized for? :)

So if you accept the "mission profile" of defending NA and meeting NATO commitments while having a reasonable price tag, is the F-35 still the obvious winner in your opinion?
Hopefully that VIP customer do not slip up. If it does, you are going to have a bad time.
For anyone reading this comment who is outside India. We never had anything called activation charges until very recently. People like the commenter above get a sim and not use it for months without paying anything and the provider had to make sure the number was ON. This became such a plague a provider went down under. Now all the providers came together and decided on a way to stop this from happening. As expected, there is an outrage.

> they give steep discounts to hook you in and then they jack up prices after destroying competition

You bough a Docomo sim. You have a jio sim now too. You don't get to talk about this. Don't be a hypocrite.

> but can you really buy a topup any more only for calling?

Yes. That is literally what I do for my other phone.

Do you see where it says "top up". Click that thingy and follow the instructions.

> Just one year ago we had 45rs recharge to keep phone active now it's gone up to 99Rs starting tomorrow.

If you're the kind of person who'd recharge for 100 rs and keep it for 6 months and expect top notch service, I hope they jack up the prices for activation to 1000 rs so they drive bad consumers like you out of the market so the rest of us can use the services as intended.

Pretty much. The R0 was high from the onset and has only gotten worse with new mutations. This isn't surprising either. To get to herd immunity, we'd need a very high percentage of the population to be immune. The one difference from before the vaccines is that we now know they don't make you immune.
I read the above comments as tongue in cheek, but I see many arguments online that go like this for many different things.

> modern times to run php, people would use php-fpm with nginx, it is running multiple worker (single) process, so why would anyone [2], [3] wants multi-core coroutines in it? What does it even mean?

Not everyone does. There's also https://reactphp.org (which is an event loop runtime, similar to Node), and https://amphp.org (also event loops), and Swoole https://github.com/swoole/swoole-src (coroutine runtime, similar to Go).

Fibers are basically an API that event-loop runtime libs can use so that userland code doesn't need to use promises or generators to run non-blocking operations. Fibers are not useful for php-fpm or swoole users.
This is a great time to be thankful for what make HN great for me. Thanks Dang!
That's not particularly true

Inductive stoves are vastly more efficient than the old fashioned resistive coil stoves, so your 3000W of input power can yield cooking heat similar to a 40,000 or 50,000 btu gas stove.

They also reach temp much, much more quickly than the old style. You can vary the output as quickly as a gas stove.
Yup my grandparents' farm had rows of trees to act as wind barriers. Their farm was large enough that they had 3-4 (don't remember exactly) rows just within their property, never mind the barriers on the property line.
"the use of particular materials, precision engineering, and slim custom components"

All of the above require R&D. Techniques for unibody construction for example required a lot of R&D in machining parts, precision opening of ports, and so on.
Carbon fibre's lower heat conductivity can be a good thing too though. Less heat leaking through to the keyboard deck where it could bother the user.

While it may be true that pylance is closed source and vscode specific, pyright[1] is MIT. Pylance does appear to still be a language server as well. As far as I know, most language plugins still use LSP, including Typescript/Javascript, Rust, and Go.

It also has a switch that's turned on by the weight of a slice of bread. A letter falling into the opening would slowly lower itself down and light on fire. Furthermore the thermostat is shielded by the carriage before it descends. If the carriage is jammed that could conceivably light the toast on fire before the ambient heat is high enough to trip the thermostat. This toaster has 3 main problems that could all be fixed relatively easily in a modern redesign:

1. Power switch that's prone to unintentional activation.

2. Poor grounding and a single pole switch with no polarization.

3. Radiant control without any upper time limit.
Theoretically. But my experience with acquisitions is that "leave them alone" never ever happens.
Yes that's true, but the F35 is not exactly cheap to maintain either at 42 000$ per flight hour and the air-frames themselves are basically free and can be cannibalized.

China’s Recent Hypersonic Weapon Test – Second Missile Could Be New Tech
A lot of people really struggle with both large numbers and changes in units.

Our current system is basically the social consensus of what is easiest.
It's not quite that simple. Regarding the Gripen:

>During the design process, great priority was placed on facilitating and minimizing aircraft maintenance; in addition to a maintenance-friendly layout, many subsystems and components require little or no maintenance at all. [...] According to Saab, the Gripen provides "50% lower operating costs than its best competitor".

>A 2012 Jane's Aerospace and Defense Consulting study compared the operational costs of a number of modern combat aircraft, concluding that Gripen had the lowest cost per flight hour (CPFH) when fuel used, pre-flight preparation and repair, and scheduled airfield-level maintenance together with associated personnel costs were combined. The Gripen had an estimated CPFH of US$4,700 whereas the next lowest, the F-16 Block 40/50, had a 49% higher CPFH at $7,000

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saab_JAS_39_Gripen#Usability_a...

I'll admit I don't know all the ins and outs here, but I do know that "unit cost" is not the same as "final price tag".
Yes. These are pretty much standard fodder for bugs reported on somewhere like hackerone. I guess someone who knew what he was doing just decided to take advantage of it lol
There’s some research behind this though. It’s the act of thinking of something to be grateful for that’s useful - it strengthens your “gratitude muscles”.

Copper is almost same speed as fiber (~200.000 km/s).
