I don't this this is a symmetric relationship. Since Trump can't into office, the US has taken an extremely aggressive stance towards China and has sought to intensify the conflict over a whole range of areas (initiating the trade war, making wild accusations of genocide, moving towards recognition of Taiwan, pushing conspiracy theories about CoVID-19), while China has tried to avoid escalation and has almost never gone beyond reciprocal actions. Australia has aligned itself fully with the US in most of these actions, leading the charge against Huawei, funding a prominent think tank that churns out anti-Chinese propaganda, pushing the lab-leak conspiracy theory, inserting itself into disputes in the South China Sea, etc.

I think there's a clear aggressor in this situation. The US believes that China is a threat to the unipolar order that has prevailed since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and has embarked on a confrontational policy towards China. Australia, caught between its military ally and its top economic partner, has decided to throw itself entirely behind its military ally.

Agreed on that one can interpret the author's stance as bigoted because there is a cultivated myth here which is sentimental and all about how stories pre printing press were all about banding tribes together. People love this myth because it fits the mold of 'techno-optimism'. They were of course also about kinda boring things like record keeping about crops, but westerners ignore that and say those aren't stories because they don't have characters or something. As if we can generalize about things for which we have absolutely no record in many cases. Also as if western people invented the concept of a narrator (implied in this article but I've heard it elsewhere).
Agree, it's a different thing for OLED displays. Black here can be as pleasant as any other color. I guess it's the same for projectors.

How I Wrote My Book
I have a design background and have written a lot of CSS, and I have opinions so just interpret this all as a personal preference if you want.

* It's basic floor/ceiling stuff. Once you go #000000, you can't go any darker. Are you 100% sure the thing you're making #000000 is the absolute darkest thing on your site/app you'll ever need to declare?

* Conversely, never use white! Modern macOS sucks at this! A large window of Mail.app in light mode is pretty blinding. What if you want to add a subtle highlight to a button border on a white background? #fafafa was always a go-to white for me because its easy to remember.

* Shadows are really never black and your CSS shadows will look better if you don't default to black. Toggle 'tint shadows' on the _excellent_ css shadow palette generator: https://www.joshwcomeau.com/shadow-palette/. Play with background colors, you'll see.

* Your design will never please everyone, especially anything close to a majority on certain tech news aggregators.
And OLED screens power consumption is proportional to how much color/white is displayed, so black uses less power. Good for your battery, and the environment too.

In a dark room or outside at night, black on an OLED is truly black and everything else floats magically in the void, it's a wonderful effect.

Goodness! I'm so sorry to hear that. I also had a terrible, week-long illness after the same second shot, which is why I'm extremely apprehensive about our governor mandating boosters for myself and others working in this particular industry. They've become extremely draconian about not allowing exemptions, and in your case at least, I hope you'd be eligible for an exemption for a following shot. But the way things are going, the powers that be want to force everyone to get a new shot every 6 months. I want to opt out of that system entirely.
It's not great in Python from my experience. Much worse than PyCharm, at least.
No, it is as the author argues the effect of stories with clearly defined antagonists and protagonists.
> Why do sets go "out of print"?

Injection moulds have a finite life, so parts go out of print. Unfortunately their tendency to use set-specific parts causes this to make sets go out of print.

(Obviously they could make another mould, but that commits them to a whole print run to make it economically viable.)
What do they mean by entropy of a string? Entropy of the distribution of frequencies of characters? N-grams?
It was that all Christian traditions followed specific Catholic rituals that had specific meanings and forms. She told me I didn't know anything about Christianity (in almost those exact words) and that I was wrong about the meaning and form of the rituals my church preformed.

There is so much out there that I really think it's best to find what works well for you, like something written in a style you could get into. Some punk anarchist type stuff might read cool and edgy or sound whiney to you, whereas reading original Lenin or Bakunin might sound dry or maybe you like the old timey aesthetic. Personally, I'd recommend Murray Bookchin's ideas of Social Ecology. They came out of an attempt to apply a more scientific approach to the problem of how to change society as a whole, including taking into account our lived and natural environment and the looming natural catastrophes. Bookchin tries to adopt the "best" parts of all the leftist ideologies and combine them into a framework for an ideology that can adapt with the times and with new understandings as they arise from each attempt at change.
I wish. SVG (with JS) is a fantastic way to build much more flexible UIs than HTML is capable of.

1. Communism is a social construct. It embraces human goodness and builds upon it. That's why it is ethical and good.

2. Capitalism is merely a short-term con scheme (granted, on a rather large scale.) It embraces hypocrisy, encourages greed, steals from the poor and gives to the rich, while making people build some idealistic idea of competitive fairness while burning the entire planet to shreds while the top run away with the resources and quality of life.

3. There is no 3. People like to pretend they understand world history and economics with all these false ideas that lack context of how capitalism is better, when it's just propaganda that hides the resources and military strategy that went behind the current layout of the world economy.
It took longer than a month but I have shipped games for Unity before. Nothing groundbreaking, but if you want to make something simple, Unity is pretty easy. Now if you're pushing for a AAA title, are doing something really innovative, it might be a bit harder
I've only watched the the first five minutes of that video; I think he has some fundamental misconceptions that make it difficult to take much from what he's saying.

e.g.
for #2 wave/partical duality (which isn't necessarilly even a thing, depending on what foundation of QM you subscribe to) he says that everything is energy and that energy is light; this is not correct (the 2nd part)

for #3 energy is not necessarily conserved over long time frames in our universe

#4 depends on which foundation of QM you subscribe to, but doesn't necessarily require non-locality (AIUI, if your foundation results in this problem, then you must chose between locality or reality to explain things - reality in this context not really meaning what it might mean in common parlance)

#5 singularities appear in black holes because the maths breaks down because we don't have a unified theory of QM+gravity; they aren't magical. Also the big bang wasn't a singularity in the way he seems to be implying, again AIUI

I'm no expert, but I would suggest you review some more technical videos before reading too much into the link you posted (I suggest PBS Space Time / FermiLab / Sabine Hossenfelder)
Hey Alexis. The business model is a pretty standard Open Source business model: We ensure the Crossplane community is striving, and it has all the building blocks needed. In Upbound we position ourselves as a trusted partner for Crossplane and build products on top of Crossplane. Our current ones you can find at https://www.upbound.io/. It’s important that there is a mutual benefit between the community and our products: The more successful Crossplane is, the more successful Upbound is and vice versa.
>People immediately jump to "yeah but what about this crazy edge case" because they know the law will be applied to hundreds of millions of people and that crazy edge case will actually happen many times.

And it shouldn't be too surprising that this happens on HN. Programming has taught me to specifically pay attention to edge cases and evaluate how likely they are and what kind of consequences may follow. This same pattern of thinking then gets applied to other things in life. Laws are one of the closest analogues to programming.
I've read previously on HN that there's one company with a stranglehold on the e-ink patent and so the prices are artificially high for the screens. This probably would make a e-ink laptop or tablet more expensive than it should be.

But yes, I agree. I've wanted an e-ink laptop for working outside for years.
> Lets continue becoming more diverse

Problem is that diverse doesn't really say anything, it is just a positive word. Diversity is often a bad thing, you don't want to have to build a diverse set of services for one functionality etc. Diversifying your income streams is good, but also not good since it dilutes efforts, you know there is also the "focus on your core business" mantra that goes the exact opposite.

Edit: For example, can you explain what "diverse work environment" means? Do they have no desk standards so that desks don't fit neatly together? Do they lack AC so that you get a diverse temperature over the year? Inclusive work environment would have said more, but diverse? Whatever positive meaning you attribute to it comes from your own imagination, that is the main selling point of these slogans. You don't promise anything but people still feel you said something good.

Hi HN, I've been working a lot lately as usual, but since I'm taking a 15 - 30 minutes per day to work on a fun project and giving how mad I am about those recommendations you get on streaming platforms (the same movies / TV shows in different categories) I've decided to make this joke recommendation system, which I feel represents pretty close the actual experience with real streaming services.

Hope you like it.
I've never heard of them being unreliable, and certainly not notoriously so. What sources do you have on this? My own impression formed from reading HN is that opinion around Redis is nearly entirely (almost cultish-ly) positive.

I'm just checking if there is something I missed.
>No. There are no products in this space that can compete with the midrange LCD displays.

Then how can you make such claims? You're just blowing smoke at this point. My take: The are no such products because nobody would buy them, that's why nobody makes them.

If you think the market is wrong, and there's such a huge demand waiting for a product that doesn't yet exist, why not put your money where your mouth is and go all-in funding such a product? If you're right, you'd get rich. Or you're actually wrong, and it will flop massively. Which one is it?

>Yield for smaller displays works differently - areal density of defects being the same, a smaller panel has a smaller chance of having a defect.

Yeah, that's why cutting the e-ink film into smaller displays gets you better yields, since you can throw away the smaller sections with the defects, instead of discarding larger ones, and lower the costs, which, like I said previously, is why you mostly see smaller e-ink displays based products, and why the ones with large screens are so expensive.

>A 20" 200 dpi panel has 4 times more places where something could go wrong than a 100 dpi one

Genuine question: do you have any industry experience working with e-ink displays, or are you just making uninformed assumptions for the sake of an armchair argument? As, that's not how yields scale in e-ink film. Source: I worked designing devices with e-ink displays.
> Is it mostly a signal of "I like this"?

It's a bookmark in theory (in 'Your stars'), but more or less just a 'like'.
Why do you even notice, or keep track? Is there a way to disable visibility of stars?

Vanity, stop it.
This may sound neat, but is the most stupid idea I've seen in a long time. As if Node.js wasn't bad enough.

It should be noted that the people comparing Ms. Holmes to Buffett, Gates, etc are journalists. This article refers to Inc. and Glamour and a local NBC affiliate (and the New York Times, albeit in a personal profile, not a news article). These are not "hard-hitting" articles, but puff pieces that were most likely paid for. Further, to the extent that such journalists have a bit of autonomy, they aren't very smart. They don't know any other billionaires, so these are the only comparisons possible. "Hard work" can apply to virtually anybody -- although spending your day in conference rooms and private jets and being driven around town certainly isn't the hardest of hard work, no matter how many hours you do it.

It's kind of ironic that a journalist can't recognize the rhetoric and myth-building of other journalists is almost entirely just b.s.
If you had a case of the circumference and the diameter both being integers, then pi would be a rational number.

There is no polynomial f(x) with integer coefficients such that f(pi) = 0.

In the language of the post, if you have pi, and you're allowed to add, subtract, multiply, and divide by integers, and you're allowed to multiply by pi, you can never and up with 0.

So pi can be expressed as the ratio of the diameter to the circumference, but when you do so, at least one of the diameter and circumference will themselves be transcendental.

In California, if a landlord improperly withholds someone's deposit after moving out, they can be sued for 3x the original amount. Perhaps there should be a time frame that is applied to fixing issues for improperly attributed claims like these in the article and require the company to pay back 3x what was lost due to the improper claim. For example, say you put up an original work, or one you have the rights to, and YouTube takes it down due to a faulty or fraudulent content ID, then they or the claimant (who will be one of the 3rd party entities that attest to having ownership or license to the work) will have to pay that user 3x the revenue lost from the instant the blocking was placed.

Here are my problems with such devices. I own an Onyx Boox 3 for a year now, I guess I qualify.

1) these screens still have bad contrast compared to a printed page at the same DPI. They mostly compare to yellowed dog-eared 50-year-old books. The dots are also rather fuzzy, so not really comparable to what you get in a decent LCD at the same density.

2) if it comes to desktop use, no OS/environment except classic MacOS up to version 8 and maybe GEM gives a shit about monochrome displays, especially those where only 1-bit colors look decent (so Windows 3.11 would likely count too). On DEs which you can still theme, themes that look like printed pages (two colors for UI, no gradients, no exceptions to this rule) don't exist at all. There's GTK's "High Contrast" theme, but it renders everything also BIG and FAT, which is cumbersome to look at unless you need it because of eyesight problems.

Also, there should be a way to disable all UI animations and most hover effects, but it either doesn't exist or keeps getting reinvented in any new major version so you're chasing it every once in a while.

3) Have you ever seen how Android renders colors on displays with no colors? God damn it to hell. I tried a terminal emulator. Some text was black, some white, some nigh-invisible, and some was white with a black (fuzzy) outline. I thought a monochrome display couldn't be ever described as garish, but now I've learned the errors of my ways. The only way it can work is if you export TERM=vt100 so it doesn't try to draw you rainbows where there can be none.

4) While the refresh speed got better compared to most Kindles I owned, when you're typing, it's still more annoying than a CRT with big afterburn.

Maybe it's kind of acquired taste, I dunno, but not for me. Yet. I hope.

I wouldn't mind a strictly 2-colored theme on a regular laptop screen as well, mind you.
Yes, but the majority of HN browsers will downvote/flag you for sharing the sentiment.
