> There are long established Chinese communities in the US who came over to be railroad laborers.

Descendants of those people are a tiny part of the Asian population (though probably formed an important part of the initial cultural support network for later immigrants, at least those settling in the area where those earlier groups were concentrated.)
I have had the exact same thing today. I got an email informing me my account has been permanently suspended. I haven't done anything wrong. I've managed to contact them a few times via email but get the exact same email reply each time. It sucks. If I'd done something wrong I'd understand, but nope. Unless buying a new phone case is a violation? I was looking for a solution and it brought me here. I hope you sort it out. Also, I made an account purely just to add a comment. Haha
> The waterfall pieces might be entirely custom, but pretty much everything else is something you find in a lot of sets.

And stuff like that isn't new. I remember I had a "castle" set that had these wall-with-window pieces [1], which were kind of similar. You could still use them creatively. Also that waterfall set has a lot of pieces that would be good for building stuff like spaceships or planes.

Fun fact, there is a podcast with this concept (but not AI based) - Boring Books for Bedtime. I love it! Use it to help me sleep all the time.
Huh I hadn't heard of that yet. I wonder if the same goes for other SSRIs. It's a pretty big class.
It’s not purely geopolitical but I think the top 3 factors for this:

1, the most powerful political organization in the US is AIPAC.
More powerful than any other lobbyist and can tip the scales in almost any election.

2, the services provided by Israel to support US-backed dictatorships in the Middle East (eg the NSO group)

3, the military industrial complex loves the Israeli customer because they are dependable, repeating customers (Israel has been bombing the Palestinians and its regional neighbors for decades now)
I was just looking at the source, there are big hunks of freebsd kernel in there, but I don't know the real functional decomposition.

didn't suggest that nanos was better - if it does indeed use big hunks of freebsd code, that's had considerably more cooking time than nanos.
I won't contest that. I recognize that my post was a bit dramatic but it doesn't seem entirely unreasonable knowing what we do know about past behaviors.

So you can be #5 and I'll be #6 :-)
The parachute one (Franz Reichelt) is heart breaking, I mean we have the benefit of hindsight and working parachutes now. But I don't understand why he thought it would work when it so obviously wouldn't.
Oh, generally with cynicism. Aus voted against conscription in WW1 and we have an innate distrust of politicians. But we also find American reductive libertarianism silly, oppose guns, and don't view the quarantine camps as universally bad.

We're racist. We had a white Australia policy, we excluded people on race and language for decades, we had to vote in 1968 to give citizenship to aborigines, our press was famously anti-asian beyond the Hearst yellow press. You can't teach us about slavery, we did it too. (Kanaka blackbirding)

We are partially in denial about our racist history, and detention of refugees. That's a far bigger problem than a public health emergency temporary constraint on civil liberties.

40% of Australians are migrants, or second generation of migrants, many from oppressive regimes and war. Many of us know people badly affected by quarantine rules. They are also unquestionably popular, and backed by more people than oppose them. There are many godwins-law comparison risks in camps, but we generally avoid them because they have WiFi and are shared by voluntary residents as well as recalcitrant subject to health law controls. A tiny number of people have had to stay beyond 14 days because of reinfection risks.

We don't have lateral flow tests in widespread use. It is arguably a mistake, home quarantine should be fine.

To repeat what I said above: I hate this government but these camps are not why, and very very few Australians view these camps as an assault on civil liberties in the wide. The performance demonstrations are not widely supported any more than the proud boys are in the USA.

We are a literate, actively voting (its, mandatory voting with low bar to invalid ballot if you want) and we're not sheep, although Australians are more conformist than the popular image of sweary rebels.

If you want to understand Australian attitudes to our history find "Babakiueria" (1986) on video, and then also look for recent lamb marketing videos (seriously: hunt 'australia day lamb ad 2021')
I'm just trying to find a way to say how much it sucks that your comment is being downvoted.

Fuck it. It sucks so much that your comment is downvoted. Fuck that. This place is fucked up sometimes, where people downvote comments that might at a very long stretch be misconstrued as displaying some remote racial insensitivity if you squint really, reaaaaly hard, and then downvote a black guy who says what he's seen first-hand. It's like watching the BBC giving equal screen time to climate scientists and climate denials in service to some objectivity, long ago lost.
I uses the responsive design mode in my browser. I guess you can serve multiple layouts by screen size detection initially, but people can rotate their phones in real life.
I don't like this. The Wright Brothers patents were _extremely_ broad and they aggressively pursued anyone they thought infringed on their patents. Most aircraft development moved to Europe, which is why we use the terms "empennage," "aileron", and "fuselage." If Wilbur died thinking he wasted his engineering talent, he should have spent more time engineering and less time litigating.

I really enjoyed this talk by Captain Disillusion at the Blender Conference 2018 where he goes over some of that - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qSTcxt2t74
It understands nothing. It's like a blind beaver building dams by instinct and directing water. Deep learning lol.
The weirdest thing about this is that this is not the first time I heard about explosives from WWII finding their way up someone's behind in peacetime.
Most capital investments do require a more skilled workforce to get the expected return on investment. In your example, a box stacker requires virtually no training, while a forklift operator has to take a training course and be skilled enough to operate the vehicle without costing the employer thousands or millions in liability claims. And no one is arguing that the employee should capture 100%, just more than roughly 0%.
Except what this really means is that nearly any part of AWS you have to deal with has been clobbered together by a series of different teams with little cohesion.

The last time I dealt with AWS and amplify, this was glaringly obvious in several places. Settings pages where one tab looked and behaved radically different from the other. A seeming total lack of communication between teams resulting in badly synced package released with bugs due to version differences. Also frequent omissions in documentation requiring you to hunt it down in github repos or in totally different places(Say Amplify uses X to do something, you might have to find info for using X in an Amplify context in the X docs).
Oh no, fascists!!!!!!!!!
Ambient lighting affects readability as much as the color choices of the site.

Outdoors, dark themes are invisible on most of my laptops. Indoors, I tend to prefer them.
> Housing shortage doesn't have anything to do with immigration.

It does if immigrants want to live in housing. (And I say that as someone who is overall quite pro-immigration.)
Monkey see, monkey do, as the saying goes.
I think comments are less useful since the channel owner can arbitrarily delete and filter them (correct me if I'm wrong). So part of the outrage is that dislikes were the last semi-reliable metric left to check for garbage/troll videos.
Were there immediate press conferences or sanctions for the Solarwinds stuff? Honest question. I don’t remember.
So it's "play stupid" than.

Sad.
Not sure if this is what you're looking for but this is classic in the psychological community:

https://www.google.com/books/edition/Letters_from_Jenny/iVQN...

It's been analyzed for personal themes etc and the subject of lots of methodological discussion over the years.

The tricky part is that I'm not sure it's currently available in digitized form. It might be, or you might have to scan it and then read it with OCR.

The other problem is copyright issues perhaps?

Revisiting it with modern analysis methods would be pretty interesting actually now that I think about it.
On the other hand for a strong case against my belief, this seems like a good start https://edsource.org/2021/one-districts-faulty-data-shouldnt...

It is cited in the open letter's supporting document. It would take some very serious effort to read through these resources and try to disentangle the biases of the authors, but I guess this meltdown would not have happened if reading social/ed science papers was easy.
they might, but chances are that if you force people to move their dislikes into the comments, they're going to provide more information than just "downvote", and the top comment will be some variaton of

* "the information in this video is wrong"

* "i don't like the person who made this video"

* "this isn't the content i expect from this channel"

all of which is vastly more useful than just a downvote.
Gotta pay the Premium, or burn 1500 mAh / hour because you can't turn your screen off without Premium. You and about 4 billion others can't afford the Google toll, so pay for electricity instead. One way or another, you will pay.

Gotta get that gold.

If only I could calculate the total electricity burn planet wide because 4 billion people can't turn their screens off. I wonder how a 4 billion screenburn compares to 1 million Bitcoin miners, or whatever the total is.

I listen 95% of the time, lectures, opera, podcasts, other stuff, and there are multitudes of data that don't need me to be staring at my screen.
...suppliers that don't charge less to other retailers.

Haha you can't even pretend to have misunderstood the situation to this extent. QED on the bad faith. Amazon DGAF what percentages other retailers get. How would they even know those? They are penalizing suppliers for the prices that consumers pay at other retailers. So long as Amazon are allowed to do this, they'll just keep slowly increasing their cut. What's 34% today will be 40% next year, etc.
"Ally" is probably too weak a word for the relationship we have with Israel. Probably no other country has this much influence on our politics. Not even the UK or Canada, who we share close cultural and linguistic bonds with.

Israel is like the Taiwan of the Middle East, meaning it's a useful partner to us in terms of maintaining a separation between the West and some perceived enemy (Muslims in this case, the Chinese in the case of Taiwan). But they also cause us to have more enemies than we otherwise would. In an open letter, Bin Laden specifically called out our support for Israel as one of their justifications behind 9/11.

Spying between allies is a relatively normal thing, but when someone screws up and lets the public see it happen, usually there is at least some mild chiding. Israel doesn't even get that tsk tsk because of how much influence they have.

Also, Israel has a very effective propaganda machine that purposely tries to paint any criticism of Israeli policy as anti-semitism. It's hard for our politicians to openly discuss them without risking their ire, and that of many influential Jewish Americans, and the powerful AIPAC lobby.

Frankly, Israel has us by the balls. Less an ally and more a dominatrix.
And every time someone wants to join/leave you'd have a bunch of paperwork to handle.

I'm sorry but the HN crowd is seeing a huge shift right on from of them and completely blind to it. It's the same mindset as people dismissing the internet saying you can just send messages to people through the mail, or you can get information from the library, and taking about how unusable the internet is even though it's been in development for 20 years, etc.
I very often fail in identifying the things that need to be added to the log. List running docker containers? So easy it's not necessary to log. That one obscure bug that took days to fix? So many things were tried that didn't lead to success, that the path to the solution is not clear anymore.
You're probably right, but I'm too lazy to care.
Thanks for the input.

The shared cytoplasm condition is perfectly reasonable requirement, certainly, but it's also not a terribly high bar to clear. HIV does indeed prominently infect CD4+ T lymphocytes, but that is by no means the only cell type it infects.

At the very least, both species have been described to infect macrophages (and both may display tendencies to promote cell fusion, in which case I would expect many normal categorizations of what a cell type is, are off).

As for the polymerases being roughly equivalent, I have a hard time believing that.
As I've understood it, coronavirus RNA polymerase does perform proofreading, and over the course of the pandemic there has been plenty of media statements of relief and optimism about SARS-CoV-2 evolution not being such a big problem because the genome seems to be relatively stable as RNA viruses go.
Many of the people making those statements may have had more hopes than facts to back that up, by all means, but simply grabbing a few highly ranked search result on mutation rates (I don't have time to do a more proper review now, sorry) does seem to suggest SARS-CoV-2 was estimated to have a low mutation rate (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC7387429/) at least early after the introduction to human. Admittedly, it's also reported that mutations which should be suspected to reduce the proofreading effectiveness appeared early (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC8134885/).

But on the other hand, HIV is change virtuoso, and one of the first things you hit with a search engine on that topic currently (https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/jou...) has the following very interesting piece in the abstract:

"extremely high mutation rate of (4.1 ± 1.7) × 10^{−3} per base per cell, the highest reported for any biological entity. Sequencing of plasma-derived sequences yielded a mutation frequency 44 times lower, indicating that a large fraction of viral genomes are lethally mutated and fail to reach plasma. We show that the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase contributes only 2% of mutations, whereas 98% result from editing by host cytidine deaminases of the A3 family."

Evidently those cytidine deaminases act on viral DNA sequences as a host defense mechanism, so that source of mutations at least, would be distinguishing for an RNA dependent DNA polymerase such as HIV reverse transcriptase (which, by the way, apparently really doesn't do any proofreading), as compared to a coronavirus RNA dependent RNA polymerase.
Now I'd be curious to see if B.1.1.529 mutations appear preferentially at positions which would have cytidine after reverse transcription. I guess that would be the guanosines in RNA original?
> imagine you have a 64-bit adder

Integer addition is too easy. On all modern computers, add instructions take at most 1 cycle. Even vector ones like vpaddq AVX2 which adds four 64-bit numbers to another four numbers.
The important aspect is less of where the video is hosted, but where people are looking for content discovery. With the removal of dislikes, YouTube is actively making their content discovery worse. On the margin people should be looking for new content discovery options. You might see people drift to Reddit, you might see people drift to DIY StackExchange. That's the message we should be pushing in these conversations as a result of this, you should be changing your behavior.

Once you move the discovery off YouTube, it becomes trivial to move the content to another video host. The discovery is the lock-in.
>dwarf fortress

Ridiculous! It's much more probable that our universe is a game of Factorio being played by an idiot.
Oh I agree, I think we've been greatly underestimating how damaging all these are and so should be treated like cigarettes with very heavy taxation that should go towards subsidizing healthy food.
You'll see some video of some guy in Bangladesh doing some "you should never do this, but you can do this" wiring job to make some piece of industrial machinery run and it will either be 1000:1 likes or 1:1000 in favor of dislikes, pretty much wholly dependent on whether Reddit has found it. So I just wind up watching it to figure out why everyone hates it so much.
That would be a different game mode, then.

This is the game mode that has been decided and agreed upon by all parties.
The most depressing thing is that it doesn't end there. It continues on in real life here on HN where it gets flagged.
Five years ago I decided to buy rocketbook, which I use as a sort of journal. Obvious things go in there, like meeting notes & action items, but also notes from watching conference presentations, weekly Todo list tracking (ala bulletjournal), and outlines for phone calls I need to make (I find the preparation helps with the anxiety of making first phone calls, by collecting important data i might need and key points i need to accomplish ahead of time). I think I prefer the analog nature vs digital notes apps, and the scanner app helps with posterity concerns. Most notes are not that important a year from now! I used to take notes while reading books, but I've since moved that to part two of the system.

For things where I absolutely want to remember something, it goes into Anki. While reading books, I make time to go over the chapters and extract key ideas into Cloze deletions. Helps with recall, and the Cloze format helps with recall since you're given far more context. And perhaps useful for search.

For shell / computer stuff, keeping history around helps a lot. In theory important commands could become aliases or functions and kept around via git, but this is more rare.

I do have a gnote / tomboy setup that I use mostly for long form writing, but that's less about journaling experiments & discoveries for later reference and more about getting plans and ideas out of my head so I can stop thinking about them, and drafting the occasional blog post.
I believe if the phone is in range the watch will use the phone's GPS. I record all my rides on my watch but my phone is always on my handlebars or in a backpack and I'm pretty sure it uses it.
Why does the internet exist when you can mail people messages and find information at the library?
I don't think that's right. The way I read it, it seems like the employees made an honest mistake, so holding her until a deputy arrived might not be considered malicious or an abuse. However continuing the prosecution and demanding money from her after she was found not guilty was found to be an abuse and that's what was found in her favour.
That's relatively low fee for a membership-perks charge card. They also offer zero annual fee credit cards.
>and were not selected by their environments for long enough to develop significantly different cognitive abilities

This is patently false. There are hundreds of known genes which are strongly correlated/anticorrelated with above average and exceptional intelligence and are absent or underrepresented among various ethnic groups. Humans left africa some 200k years ago and even if you think thousands of generations of adaptation to drastically different environments before agriculture wouldn't have been enough time for populations to evolve cognitive adaptations, the fact that geographically isolated interbreeding with other homonids occured further suggests a genetic basis for differences in cognition.

The modern scientific establishment's denial of race based differences in cognition (not just intelligence, see e.g. warrior gene) is nothing but politically motivated science denialism, and does immense harm to the institution's credibility.
Thanks for the warning :)
I'll check it out, thanks! I also found one with a lady with a soothing voice reading bedtime stories that I really liked - "Dreamful".
These have been around for like 10 years
But it literally makes no sense. It simply doesn't there is simply not a logical way for him to behave. Even if he is a 'charlatan'.

He makes far more money by simply holding stocks for the long term and making sure his companies do well. He is required to file when he is selling lots of stock and for the most part he has been holding SpaceX and Tesla stock for a long time. His package for payment for Tesla is performance based on profit and volume, not just stock price so higher stock doesn't even improve his pay at this point.

I literally do not understand the mechanics. Do you think he sent this internal email so hopefully it will be leaked, so that then SpaceX stock will be slightly lower for a while and then he illegally does insider trading based on that? And if he made lots of money from doing that, is he just hiding that? Do you think in addition to his public wealth (already one of the richest people) he is even richer and hides some even larger net-worth that he has gained threw illegal trading?

He has literally been part of a number of investigations from multiple government agencies like SEC. Because SpaceX is doing military launch and are verified for literally all US government missions, he had to be background checked by the DoD for a really high levels of security certification. And threw all of that he was constantly doing illegal insider trading and hiding billions in extra wealth?

Is that really more likely then that SpaceX actually has an issue with engine production and he really wants to fix it?
The point is to replace one set of biases with another, just changing the kind of bias.
At the very highest level, the draw percentage is much higher. In the last World Chess Championship in 2018, all twelve classical games went to draws! It's complete garbage from a spectator point of view.
> the us alliance with israel is not about religious reasons

This is simply not true. The base of the US Republican Party is evangelical Christians. This being so, religious reasons are close to the surface. There are surely other interested parties, but Republicans can't get crosswise with any of their conservative Christian constituencies -- evangelicals, Catholics, and Mormons. These constituencies have particular beliefs about Israel and the End Times. Likud and other right wing allies of the evangelicals certainly knows this and don't particularly care, not themselves caring about Christian End Times. I'm sure the leadership of the Republican Party also doesn't care. But they need their foot soldiers, and these soldiers do care.

It is also true that while there are a lot of liberal Jews who criticize Israel, like Noam Chomsky, there is a large block with a lot of sway in Democratic politics that are very leery of criticism of Israel veering into antisemitism.
It took me a moment to parse the headline on the HN front page, because there was no domain name but also no "Ask HN:" or similar.
> "Ally" is probably too weak a word for the relationship we have with Israel.

The word is "client"; it's just people are used to using it with applying to the other side of a relation with the US, not the US side.
Glad to see this has ressonated with so many of you!! Thanks for all the amazing insights in the comments where, as always, a lot of the value lies.
You're forgetting the set design in the first place. All the knockoffs do is copy the set with their own bricks.

The few other brick manufacturers that design their own sets are clearly inferior in set design. Even Mega has a long way to go.
