Between copy and paste and most language's auto-complete tools and the emoji soft-keyboards in most operating systems today you can "easily type" most any unicode identifier with just a little bit of knowing your tools. (The Windows emoji keyboard has almost all of the Unicode math symbols, for instance.)

Am I understanding you correctly? If the price for Singapore being convenient for you to visit as a tourist is the government killing their citizens who violate Draconian laws (or are accused of it), does that seem right to you?
I've read 1984 and Brave New World. In a lot of ways I think the warnings in A Brave New World are much more subtle in some ways. The "fixes" they come up with in the book for an ailing society are very similar to what people have waded into now. A Brave New World is probably a bigger warning to society than 1984 in many ways.

> The feature I most want from the Internet Archive

The feature I most want from IA is a streamlined system to delete content they have archived on domains that I own, including a proper privacy law compliance effort on their part. They have intentionally made it a difficult, manual process to get content removed. They operate as a de facto malicious crawler.

They massively violate GDPR with how they operate and few seem to care about that fact, including all the commenters on HN (which universally give them a free pass on being malicious and violating GDPR very aggressively).

When IA has to comply with laws like GDPR, that's the end of IA.

Is it? OP has no idea about the software it's being integrated into, and while it may _seem_ like a simple task in principle, it may not be, and it's a judgement on the work that's on another team to deal with. Quite easy to fall into a trap of trivializing work that you yourself aren't responsible for.

Given a sufficient budget and time, I think this could be made to work, on a clear day. How? Nitrogen lasers in low earth orbit target the upper end of the atmosphere in a volume over the target as the satellite approaches the target then at azimuth fire a larger pulse directly at the target, ionizing a channel all the way from the top of exosphere to ground, grounding the collected charge from the now conductive volume, to the target.
In "The Nine Nations of North America", Joel Garreau put it like this (from memory, not verbatim):

"This is all discombobulated in terms of traditional Democratic and Republican positions.

"The Democrats tend to be quality-of-life people. They also tend to be in favor of the little guy. Well, here those two conflict. If you look at the long-term implications of letting Mexico move up here unrestricted... goodbye Zero Population Growth.

"The Republicans tend to be law-and-order people. They also tend to be in favor of big business, who finds immigrants to be useful for low-wage labor.

"This creates a very difficult environment."
A pandemic began? Nothing has significantly changed policy-wise since then.

I bet a lot of drug offenders were framed. If someone wants to get rid of someone else they no longer need to commit homicide or whatever, they just need to plant a bunch of drugs and get them caught. It’s even simpler actually, you just need to spike their drink or food with something because in Singapore you don’t need to possess drugs to be prisoned, if your blood tests positive for drugs then you can get death penalty.

Then you're reconfiguring a breeder into a burner. You don't have both at the same time.

But I have to say that the part where you concentrate a substantial mass of an unholy mix of medium-lived actinides to be burned into a fairly large structure seems kind of scary. I'm not sure I'd like to work in that part of a nuclear fuel processing plant. Fortunately it's almost certainly an academic question because the probability of this coming into fruition is very low nowadays.

Although the overlap between this subset, and the subset of countries with reliable international shipping, is pretty high.
I dont know why he suggest this but while I would like to read some old content that now cannot be found I am also respectful for people that dont want their content on the internet anymore.

So every time someone suggest to put some content on a blockchain I wonder if they realize that there are people that want to erase/remove their content from the internet. I also think it is dangerous to keep everything someone or some company created on the internet. It is too easy now to internet judge some adult about things they did while being young or to keep people accounted for mistakes they did and paid for them their duties to society.

I think if we ever build this feature on a blockchain I hope it is opt-in and people realize what that mean.
Yeah. Over 30, just had two stents put in my heart. I'm not very excited about a booster that could give me clots, or any other heart issue.

This actually caused me some grief as I began to learn more about computers. As soon as I realised everything was finite, I began to think about exhausting that space. Still today I don't like to think of all the computers everywhere generating billions of sha1 hashes every second. It makes me uneasy. I believe this comes from a natural tendency to seek sustainability which, sadly, most people don't seem to have.
Yeah, most of the codepoints for ligatures that exist in Unicode are for compatibly mapping from old encodings that predate modern font ligature support (such as EBCDIC had a bunch of manual ligature encodings). These days Unicode suggests leaving ligatures entirely to fonts and unencoded as most people don't need to round-trip through an EBCDIC speaking mainframe (hopefully!).
Floor models at any other store are manufactured at the same time and same processes as non demo models.

A Frankensteined 2021 model with a 2017 battery pack is very unusual, and would have had to be specially built. Who knows what else is different about the car. Is it even a 2021 car? Or is it an old car they are calling 2021 since it wasn't registered.

Ignoring the range/age impact, getting service done may cause problems when technicians expect parts to match the model year of a car. Although Tesla has many unannounced engineering changes within the same "model year", so maybe it's a non issue. Will their software updates account for mixed model year parts?

For normal ownership and usage it sounds like a terrible prospect, with several uncertainties.

Could be a unique future collectable though.
But there is little difference to maintain the current amount of waste or 100 times as much.

I live in Washington's wine country. A recent quote from a winemaker I spoke with who produces both their own labels and those of other labels: "If consumers would accept them, we'd do everything in screw tops." His reasoning is exactly what you'd expect: cork taint is real, it's difficult to reseal with a cork in the event you don't drink the entire bottle, and if the bottle is going to be cellared for a long time the cork will play a role in how it ages. Plus they seem to be aware of the environmental side + cost of using cork. Synthetic corks are a middle ground that according to the winemakers I've spoken with have the same basic issue - consumers equate natural cork with a higher quality product (at least in the US - apparently in Australia it's entirely screw tops).
Hey, great points here.

Our focus is on developing a more consumer-friendly solution like Dropbox which has capabilities like search and collaboration so that anyone can privately store their sensitive data :)

> [Web integration, accessibility, and responsive design] are exactly the problems that Adobe was supposed to solve. And it’s not like it was mission impossible.

"Solve" is weird in this context, but Adobe did make good progress in each of these areas, first by supporting some of them in Flash Player, and ultimately by abandoning the proprietary runtime.

> Building a website with the level of interactivity, micro interactions and animations using today’s technology is super complicated and almost impossible for a single person.

Flash was never for this (other than in a "if all you've got is a hammer, everything looks like a nail" sense), but if that's your benchmark then you can still do that with Adobe Animate.
Probably for one thing the relative importance of the marquee vs standalone posters.
>The paradox is that it feels like better hardware is making AAA gaming
The advent of 3D hardware meant that every game had to be 3D. The shame is that with the prior generation (SNES et al) we were just mastering the art of 2D games, but suddenly all that gets chucked out the window (or nearly all, see Symphony Of The Night as the exception that proves the rule) in favor of crude, clunky, first-gen 3D adaptations.

If we don't do anything new, how do you expect things to get better? SNES games wouldn't exist if Nintendo decided to remain as a trading card merchant on the basis that electronics would piss away a century's worth of hard work in "mastering" the trading card market. And besides, early attempts at 3d on the N64 were a success. Super Mario 64 is still one of the most influential games to this day.

> A democratic state is elected by the majority, as such, the state should share the same definition as the majority.

This is trivially falsifiable. Weed is still a federal felony, despite 60% support for recreational & medical use, and another 31% support for medical alone[0]. In fact opposition for legalization is now a trivial 8% of the population, which is basically nobody. There isn't even a party with majority support for keeping weed illegal anymore.

If democratically elected states were guaranteed to eventually share the same definition as the majority, weed would have been legalized years ago for medical use. And yet, here we are.

> “The next day, I enjoyed pan-roasted oysters with a tomato sauce over rice and broccoli salad, followed by bread pudding with chocolate sauce.”

This just moves the ambiguity.

Is the tomato sauce over rice, with a side of broccoli salad? Or is the sauce over [rice and broccoli salad]?

In this case "rice and broccoli salad" doesn't really sound like a dish, but why the fuck wouldn't you just use a tiny piece of syntax to make it super clear, rather than relying on the reader hopefully having similar culinary sensibilities?
Care to show one or two financial instruments that were claimed to be "novel" but were made "illegal a century ago"?
Yes, or if you bought it for 40K but it burns down when valued at 800K, that loss is still effectively an 800K loss to you. Replacing it will cost the same.
This is false rhetoric designed to attack democrats and demonize immigrants as greedy. These same "handouts"/stimulus started under and we're touted by Trump. They don't apply to non-citizens ( I'm aware of exceptional cases of fraud or mistakenly mailed checks, but this isn't widespread). They were also part of the driver of fast economic recovery albeit at some cost of inflation we are seeing now.

The typical gatekeeping through Appeal-To-Nature fallacy.

I've heard some mystics speak about psychedelics. It sounds like what some gurus use to say about people like Krishnamurti who were profoundly influenced by their deep study of philosophy. Their arguments are moot because, although they have indeed invested a lot of time in their own practice to reach alternate states of consciousness, they often have very little experience with psychedelics. Actually, scratch that. We all have so little experience and so much to learn still about them.

I'd agree that to reap the most benefits from a transcendental experience, whether through psychedelics, meditation, breathwork or other, you should also invest in nurturing yourself spiritually and philosophically. However, when I pin your argument downplaying the importance of psychedelics, against the results obtained in psychiatry, in end-of-life care, and even in spiritual awakening for the layperson, I don't think it holds. But that's my opinion.
It seems like it wouldnt be hard to have the hazard lights start blinking if the airbags deploy.

I think the issue is that those lights are on the main power circuit, which shuts down if the user turns off the car.

That appears to be what happened here, I don't see running lights or anything. I think the person turned their truck off.

I honestly don't know if you're supposed to shut your car off after an accident to lower the fire risk, or leave it on to make the car more visible.

This is a good idea! Where is the implementation and technical details?

> Maybe in the future AI will solve this problem, if we can learn to accurately model the human body. But given it's insane complexity that's certainly going to be a big challenge

It’s clear to me that modeling the human body would be complicated, but I don’t have any idea about the order of magnitude. Can someone chime in?
Perhaps I'm just on the low end of botanical curiosity, but I wouldn't ever have made that leap myself. If you'd asked my younger self 'what is a shrub?' I would have said 'uh, like a small bush?'. It would never have occurred to me to pursue the thought any further: my mind interfaced well with mechanical and electrical and computational things, and not at all with living things! I'd just about struggled through introductory Biology at school but was never particularly interested in it.

So - yes, if you'd asked me whether all trees had a single woody ancestor, I would probably have said yes. I'd come across the idea of convergent evolution in animals before, but at least convergently evolved animals were really obviously different. Trees were obviously all the same thing: big trunk, some branches, green bits on the end. Some of them were coniferous and some deciduous, but I would have guessed that was a far-back ancestral split.

I had no idea that tree ferns even existed!

Anyway, the conclusion of this very rambling story is that I started dating an horticulturist and rapidly learned an enormous number of mind-melting facts about plant biology. But I still remember knowing absolutely nothing.
They are polluting the environment because they ship with useless plastics, PCB, batteries and not because they are expensive. Testing shouldn't be a luxury, that's silly.

All electronic communication means essentially any words going over the internet. All transmissions would have to be stored in a form where they could be decrypted by someone other than the end users. The law wasn’t saying “You have to be able to flip a switch on a person, and all things they send from that point on must be able to be decrypted”, it was saying “All communication must be able to be decrypted whenever the government asks you for it.” All information being stored in a way that is meant to be decrypted for government use means the encryption is inherently untrustworthy.
Could have been an inside job by the admins, too.
GP is (rhetorically, I assume) asking about whether or not the action of incrementing the mutable variable is typed, not that the variable itself is typed.

For example in normal Haskell the code that uses mutation and code that does not use mutation have different types. A function may have the type

f :: Int -> Int

but with mutation it can become

f :: Int -> ST s Int

or

f :: Int -> IO Int

or

f :: Int -> STM Int

depending on the circumstances. That's not the case in OCaml. The kind of mutation in OCaml references is the most similar to Haskell's ST monad (not to be confused with State or StateT), but in Haskell the type tells us a mutation is happening inside the function call.
