The most interesting aspect for me was watching the polar opposite reactions to the same content. I was personally interested in the facts of the case, which I have been following since 8/25/2020.

> For example, the dude who was shot in the arm testified and everyone was like "big win for Rittenhouse, he admitted he got shot only after he pointed a gun at Rittenhouse".

This was a very big deal. It was on the video, but as we've seen on social media, different people see different things. The other party in said videos being trapped into admitting that Kyle was right to shoot him was vidicating, both legally and personally for everyone who was rooting for Kyle.

Before anyone gets horrified at my views on the case, Kyle was a good kid, being dumb and idealistic, trying to help, and protecting himself when that went south.
I wish he hadn't stayed out that night, I wish his assailants had valued their lives more highly, and I hope that this will be a good example for everyone: don't put yourself in danger unless you're prepared for the consequences, and secondarily, fuck around and find out.
Ideally personally liable.
Did they just stamp the dates or did they also stamp names?

The library system were I grew up stamped both. The library cards had your name and library card number in raised reversed lettering. When you checked out a book the librarian took the card from the book and your library card and put it in a device that used the raise lettering to print your name and card number on the card from the book.

The newly stamped card got filed away somewhere, and they put a card in the book that had the due date stamped on it.

When the book's card got filled up with checkouts on both sides, they'd replace it with a new card.
I just use the like button as a bookmarker tbh
Another crazy thing is that they track risk of unionization in their sites. Greater "diversity" has lower risk of unionization.

Makes you think.
Wait, all of this complaint is for a niche language in "early days" and you didn't even bother to try giving it more RAM? For a guy who just had to suggest I was a shill, that's a lot of information you left out of your initial judgement.

As far as I can tell cipher messages are passed around successfully all the time in more or less all US prisons.
That's correct, it's an affirmative defense. You admit to the crime, but assert that you were privileged to take an otherwise illegal action.

I found it pretty funny that hundreds of years later he unearthed an old written feud that ended up directly affecting him in a way which caused him to empathize with one of the sides.

Barratry typically implies that this is specifically being done with lawsuits and other legal instruments, not in the general case.

They also hide numbers, lie about stats not counting non-symptomatic positives in case totals and literally ignore human rights of being able to go and eat or walk.

Kill peoples animals after forcing them out of their home. The list goes on. They still hide the origin and any information to this day and politically attack any country that pushes to open any investigation into it.

I agree. I'm not talking about a one-off study showing a minor improvement though (which would be likely to not replicate, etc.), I'm referring to a much stronger effect which in principle is addressing the origin of the disease.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6720297/ - a review of various studies, concludes that "Keto diet may modulate a broad array of metabolic and signaling changes underlying the pathophysiology of neurodegenerative disorders. Based on the limited animal studies and clinical trials, keto diet has beneficial effects for enhancing mitochondrial function and cellular metabolism. It is associated with improved cognitive performance in elderly adults with Alzheimer's disease. The improvement of the cognitive outcomes depends on the level and duration of ketosis."

https://alzres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13195-021... - study from video I linked above, concludes that "patients on the ketogenic diet improved in daily function and quality of life".

https://academic.oup.com/advances/article/11/6/1583/5864685?... - another review, concludes that "The results underline that, collectively, the efficacy of ketogenic therapy in MCI/AD appears promising, indicating that it is more than a symptomatic remedy (137). Nevertheless, research is still scattered and heterogeneous in terms of study design, intervention, participants, and outcomes of interest."

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15123336/ - study on MCT oil which raises levels of ketones, abstract says "Higher ketone values were associated with greater improvement in paragraph recall with MCT treatment relative to placebo across all subjects (P=0.02). Additional research is warranted to determine the therapeutic benefits of MCTs for patients with AD and how APOE-4 status may mediate beta-OHB efficacy."

Additionally Alzheimer's is actually referred to by a large number of folks in the field as "type 3 diabetes" & as far as I understand there is a large amount of overlap between the two diseases; we have studies showing that diabetes can be nearly or totally cured by carbohydrate restriction:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29417495/ - of 349 participants, 94% were able to eliminate or reduce insulin therapy after 1 year (57% discontinued their prescriptions entirely).

The book "The Alzheimer's Antidote" by Amy Berger is a great resource if you are open minded enough to be willing to look at informational resources once step above scientific controlled studies (unfortunately many folks are not).

That could be the story but since parallel construction is routinely used to hide the existence of surveillance tools and back doors it’s not unreasonable to doubt it.

Based on our experience with Apache Kafka and alternative streaming systems, Apache Pulsar natively addresses the Honeycomb's needs.

- Kafka is used for microservices communication and operational data sharing

- Pulsar is used for streaming large customer data in thousands of topics
Not more-so than the prisoners, themselves, and by a large margin.
That's a problem. Few people run web servers on home machines. Running a metaverse server or game server is harder. It requires consistent round trip time on the network and consistent access to compute power, or users get totally fed up with the lag. It can't be a background activity.
No, I don't drive that much. Most of my driving is in bumper to bumper traffic on 3-4 lane roads, though and people do tail gate a lot. None of the accidents have been because I've braked too hard. Of the most recent accidents, two were due to people not checking their blind spots while changing lanes. One, I was waiting at a stop light and the car behind rolled into me. And the fourth, a neighbor backed into me. Most of the accidents I've been in are after having been stopped at lights for nearly the entire duration before the accident occurs. The worst, I got hit by a guy speeding in a 45 mph zone while stopped at a light. He totaled his car. I've also had several hit and runs while I wasn't even in the car.

As I stated in my post, most of them are due to people being inattentive and not following the basics like keeping a reasonable distance checking blind spots. Others I suspect phone use, but can't prove it.
How to bootstrap and scale your SaaS startup the RIGHT way
This is a matter of great debate. Germany does have a system that assigns courts to cases in a fair way, however the first step is determining the place of venue, which usually depends on the place of residence of the defendent, or it hinges on whereever the unlawful event that lead to the case happened.

In cases of press and internet law, many lawyers argue that the event happened everywhere in Germany, and that they are accordingly free to choose whatever place of venue they like.

Since the system works alright in general there's not much love from law professionnels for a change. This internet thing is just a fad anyway.

This is simply another form of pushing FOMO for cryptocurrency.

I was a teenager in the 90s, and my dad was my current age and working for an ISP. Everyone there was around his age or older, and they all understood the potential of the early internet and the web. Most of the people in the early 90s internet era that built out the tech were older. It's one thing to say people outside of the tech field can't see the potential in technology, but it's a completely different thing to say that older people in an industry can't see the potential.

I see lots of potential in newer technologies, but web3 is trying to build an inferior version of what we currently have, with rent-seeking middlemen. It's doing so with blockchains, a 13 year old tech, which most of us have been saying for 13 years is a solution in search of a problem (and we've been right so far). Web3 is yet another way of trying to package up and sell it, primarily being pushed by people who have a monetary interest in having you use it, because they're the landlords.

Because capex is what drives productivity and profits as opposed to the individual talent of labor in the majority of cases. US Steel went down the drain from its prime due to failure to invest in new technology.

While you may need to pay more for a high school educated worker who can read instruction manuals to operate heavy machinery than very common illiterate subsistence farmers. Notice that where productivity is based upon worker skill more than tools are still doing very well in wages. This is because the role of capital is more recruiting than direct productivity boosting. And well capital is good at self perpetuation.

The janitor is already broke. The person with the six figure income is one or two bad days from being broke. Lose a job, get cancer - you may well be screwed. You’re at someone else’s mercy for insurance, and are dancing to someone else’s tune. The CEO gets fired and walks off with severance greater than a decade or more of your income, and a lifetime of the janitors.
DESCRIPTION files don't actually solve this problem - if you're trying to peg a package version, and it inevitably ends up an outdated version in the future, you'll be greeted with that error "Package 'xxx' is not available". Why? That version has been archived. I'm sure you've run into this error at some point.

devtools I guess is a solution (write some code to iterate over package requirements), but let me ask you this - how do you protect against breaking changes in devtools?

It would not be a "significant environmental benefit". POW mining is ~0.5% of global energy usage. If it was magically eliminated, that 'progress' would be eliminated in a year as growth in the more urgently-relevant sectors continues marching on.

It seems you don't see the value of POW cryptocurrencies at all. The attitude that "bitcoin is worthless, so any energy spent on it is wasteful" has been parroted a lot on HN recently, but... scoreboard: the market disagrees. I wish more bitcoin skeptics kept some intellectual curiosity around it rather than just writing it off as "I don't get it: its worthless" - there are reasons people are paying tens of thousands of dollars for a bitcoin, even if you don't understand them.

I think these attitudes are indicative of cognitive dissonance in individuals who dismissed Bitcoin a long time ago and don't want to recognize their own regret for discounting it: if they didn't dismiss it their net worth would probably be higher today.
Oh, I just realized I misunderstood your point. Because the data on disk gets updated while the in memory structures on the read only side don’t, you’ll get garbage and have to swallow random errors. I bet it only works in very specific write-once type environments like Netflix, because otherwise updating a file would lead to reading garbage on the other side.
I think you're taking a particularly uncharitable reading of GPs "so what". I read it precisely as asking the other person to make the value tradeoff argument.
The other reason that prices are way cheaper second hand is that the buyer is taking the risk of buying a lemon - versus some sort of guarantee (usually) when you buy new. The seller has more information about the object in question than the buyer (i.e. wifi card on laptop is flaky, for example), so buying secondhand implies more risk, which drops the exchange price.

I think that this affects the price of new vs used moreso than the experience of purchasing it.
Absolutely on point. My argument is simply that, as you put it, making more than you spend is a necessary element for any organization to exist and grow. In the case of a conventional business everyone calls this profit. Somehow, magically, in the case of "nonprofits" we don't.

The term "nonprofit" is a misnomer that might be the reason for this distinction, at least in the US. The term implies the idea of zero profit, which could not be farther from the truth.

You are right to highlight churches. I remember the first time I went to Texas on a sales call at one of the mega churches. The only way I can describe it was a campus with several buildings the size of a Home Depot and more. You do not do something like that without profit. People might want to bury their heads in the sand and pretend that it isn't, because we legally call them "nonprofits". All we are doing is lying to ourselves. They make a ton of money. And we don't tax them.

I am sure there are churches and religious organizations who do a lot of great value for their communities. I also know there are tons who are there for "management" to live the life of the rich and famous. Not to go too far, my wife's mother worked for a church for a while. The head pastor owned several luxury cars, went on amazing trips to expensive resorts all over the world --all paid by the church-- and more. Profit.

Note I am not saying profit is inherently bad. We would not have most of the things we enjoy in modern life without profitable business pursuits. From clothing to medicine and everything in between, without profit, it would not exist. Can it be abused and misused? Of course. That is true for almost anything that is part of the human experience. We abuse food, power, the environment, other people, position, etc. All good things until they are abused, including profit.

The 1971 was a different time. A VP at Bell Labs is minding his own business, having a few drinks at a bar, next thing you know they're pulling his body out of his burned Volvo. Two guys he was drinking with get charged with murder. Why did they do it? Why didn't they just shake him down for money, but felt the need to burn him and his car also? We may never know, because no one at the time was interested enough to ask I guess. But it did happen in New Jersey, so perhaps people had bigger things to worry about.
