an axis is literally dichotomizing, and dichotomies don't aid understanding of complex, dynamic systems because of the numerous chaotic (i.e., higher order) drivers of phenomena within the system. dichotomies provide faux-understanding, allowing the speaker to feel esteem for knowing about the dichotomy, not the underlying system of which s/he speaks. it is literally bullshit.

i'll repeat that the only useful dichotomy when talking about political systems (practically tautologically) is that between the powerful and the powerless. left/right, liberal/conservative, even bulldozer/vetocrat are all distractions on this fundamental characteristic of political systems. it's especially important that when we voters consider elections and policy positions, we do it based on a critical reasoning of the issues at hand, not a political affiliation or chosen dichotomous self-identification.
Most imaging satellites are in sun synchronous orbits so likely in this case moving north or south and slightly retrograde e.g. west.

I'd bet orbital motion is negligible here because the distortion seems to the eye to be entirely in the direction of the plane's apparent motion vector and I don't see any significant skew to that.
We can push the question further back.

In the abstract, we can say that some form of evolution is going to occur whenever you have imperfect replication. That is the only criteria needed, and the "rules" emerge naturally such a start.

You could ask, ok, why DNA based molecules and while not definitive, we have models around how their chemical precursors could become available in conditions similar to earths ancient past.

You could ask why did earth have such conditions, and the answer is something like: many planets could have similar conditions, and given the size of the universe regardless of how common such conditions, one might expect them to arise like earth's somewhere.

Ok, then you might ask what causes the universe have the types of stellar conditions and planetary formations and similar, to which we have cosmological models that generate these conditions from early energy states after the big bang.

Ok, so then you ask what created the big bang, or the universe as whole? We don't have a great answer. But understanding how evolution itself comes to be doesn't require such a leap if we are will to accept an earlier starting point and start examining phenomenon from there.
Now that’s an interesting idea. Anyone care to spin this up?

Sorry, but that's not a reason for me to buy something. I prefer solutions that perform good over something whose only merit is that it has been made by my neighbor.

Instead of trying to guilt-trip people into buying why not come up with products that can compete in the global market? There's a few - I mean I'm a Spotify customer. But most EU tech is just garbage.
Healthcare will still be working the same hours for the reasons you stated. They will just get 8 extra overtime hours instead of normal pay. You can still ask/require people to work 40 hours, you'll just be paying overtime to do it.
Yea, this is why my IT program had such poor students in the higher grade levels. I would spend 8 hours on Saturday on labs and other students would breeze through them in a couple hours.

I asked them if they really knew what they were doing and they claimed they did, until after summer break when they forgot everything but I had literal muscle memory from typing commands and performing sequences.

I'd complete my labs for credit and then either reset and try to break them or complete the lab again.

In IT we call the 3x speed folks "Paper Tigers" they may have accreditations and exam certs that say they know a lot, but throw them a curveball and they can barely pass muster.
But that was a Supreme Court decision, not a bill in congress. Congress could have passed it at any time, they just preferred for the court to take the heat. And clearly bills get passed now and then, everyone in the industry knows there’s a difference between a real bill with a chance of passing and a messaging bill that’s just there to keep the base engaged. The theater continues, keep enjoying the show.
In most organizations that has one, the sales department has an outsized influence on every other department including tech.

I worked on a project with a big time art director from a big time ad firm. His go-to saying, “build it and they won’t come”. He was making the point that publicity is what makes a product. Of course I had to learn it the hard way a few more times after that.

I’d suggest reading “Traction”. Even if you are getting help with the publicity on your next venture, Traction describes a great framework for focusing your efforts and knowing when it’s time to swap out the old techniques for new ones.
The "prepared" in my post implies that notifications are disabled.

Also notifications won't really be an issue for anyone but people using the machine both for personal and professional stuff. In the worse case, you can have different user accounts. A professional machine used for VJing or even audio recording will have zero notifications.
You should be aware that implementations of Prolog are still being released. Erlang was originally based on it.

>built in one worked fine

It had the same problem that it still has. The OS can place items on the display that you don't want in the middle of a presentation/performance. The only thing that "worked fine before" is that you were ok with what the OS put there because it was rare for that to happen.

>If professional means

It means that a dot in the upper right hand corner makes the function "unusable". If that's the case, then a professional would not extend/mirror a desktop display. They make sure that they control exactly what is being displayed and you can't (and have never been able to) do that with macOS.

No they are highly complementary.

UBI is very great. The real risk is not inflation, but not enough stuff or any of that other bullshit. The real of UBI is that the work ends up being distrusted highly unevenly, as we birfurcate into poor by not destitute happy do-nothings and rich happy workaholics, and the sometime later the latter group decides to cut off the gravy to the former.

(Sure that is a long ways off, and that's why UBI is a fine first step on it's own)

Shortening the work week forces the work to be more evenly distributed, which might bumb out people in the short term if they already had UBI, but is best for the long term.
I was literally just watching a youtube video at 1x speed and now I realize that I somehow ended up on here and have missed the rest of the video. That never happens when I'm watching on 2x speed.
no, but the tachoyns devs are a bit "opinionated" as to which directions the thing should go (and which ones it shouldn't) and seem to have moved on for the most part. one of the reasons why even though tachyons came before tailwind, the latter has a much wider adoption and more active development
It‘s a CDN, so it very well may be a "conduit". Maybe they offer edge computing services, I don‘t know. I‘m almost certain they don‘t offer data processing services though. They provide hosting-like services and process data in the normal course of that operation.

A role of a politician is not to ensure there is a complete public consensus before enacting a policy. It is to gather what makes a policy good, persuade the public that it is indeed a good policy, and then finally push through the legislative assembly with a general support from the public.

A politician that never acts unless there is a complete consensus is a pretty lousy politician and should probably be voted out of office.
Of course I have. A VJ with an old Macbook Pro isn't someone for whom this dot makes the display "unusable". If it did, then they wouldn't be using it because they could also have notifications, OS alerts, security prompts, or anything else that shows up on a display come up during their performance.
My solution is to never setup wifi or provide ethernet to my TVs. They can't vomit ads all over the screen or track what you're watching if they can't get online.

As the saying goes, "Entrepreneurs are willing to work 80 hours a week to avoid working 40 hours a week." It depends on what motivates you I suppose, some people don't mind working all the time as long as they get a feeling of ownership.

It's also easy to look at the richest people alive, notice that they're all entrepreneurs and then conclude that starting a company is the path to riches. This suffers from massive survivorship bias of course, but humans are how they are.
> Objective-S is the first general purpose programming language.

You should consider removing this claim, since it is a flat-out lie, or at least a willful disregard for the language that other people use. If you want to communicate what is novel about this programming language, you need to remove this. It heavily detracts from the architectural mechanisms that you start to explain on the "About" page (http://objective.st/About) which seems to be the actual meat, where you could flesh out further explanation.

No, that is not the cause of the labor shortage.
I just finally switched over to PipeWire last week. I enabled PulseAudio and ALSA emulation, since that's what my apps expect.

I never would have noticed the change except that detecting and setting audio profiles/codecs on my bluetooth devices from my sound control GUIs works much better than before!

It seems to be damn good.
> If they're eating plastic, and ingest that bacteria, and it starts to act on all of the plastic that's been stuck in their system for years, that would improve the situation.

That's a lot of ifs. Right now significant biodegradation of plastic by marine bacteria is still pretty unlikely. Further presuming that the bacteria capable of this will also evolve to exist within the gut of higher marine line is a bit of a leap: guts are a pretty harsh competitive environment and "random" bacteria you ingest don't go live there. And, it further presumes that all the accumulated plastic resides within the gut (it doesn't).
Here we simply don’t have the staff to go to 32 hours. The only thing this would effectively change is that after 32 hours they would have to start paying us overtime. We are hiring any qualified care workers but we continue to be short staffed every single day.

> so the teacher can actually help students work through problems (rather than parents who don't know the material).

This seems to be the continual heart of opposition to restructuring math curricula. Whether it's my parents generation recalling how their parents couldn't make heads or tails of new math or parents slightly older than me struggling to comprehend the Common Core math they're supposed to guide their children through, the essence of the complaint is the same: "how can I teach my child what I was never taught myself?"
IMO, you don't need expert kid gloves when you can have lazy gloves instead.

Sure, someone still needs to be taught (or miraculously realize on their own) the basic rules, but once known them, I don't think the rules really require any skill to use, even if applying them can take time and effort.

Realizing when to use them, comes back around to OP and K-complicity; "if I'm worried this'll get me in trouble, use the kid gloves.". Or, perhaps: "If this is a sensitive topic, use the kid gloves". Which to me seems pretty straightforward - do you know anyone who doesn't think diversity/etc issues are sensitive?

Here's a few of my "rules":

1. Don't make statements about other people - only ask questions.

2. Say less. Say less than that.

3. Look for opportunities to hand off the "microphone"

Are there rules you've noticed, that are easy to apply, that make talking about hard things easier, or less fraught, for you?

Every post I read by Vitalik reeks of political science 101. It's like these people (I'm including Ezra Klein here) haven't bothered to read Plato's Republic or Hobbes' Leviathan. A few points:

> The case for vetocracy in these contexts is clear: it gives people a feeling of safety that the platform they build or invest on is not going to suddenly change the rules on them one day and destroy everything they've put years of their time or money into.

This is simply wrong. Vetocracy is the game equivalent of a stalemate. It's definitionally an inept form of governance. There are no pros to vetocracy, and no case to be made for it. I'm not going to cite the Vox article here, but Ezra Klein has no idea what a vetocracy is, either. (Actually, he's a pretty smart guy, he's probably just being purposefully obtuse.) Vitalik is just messing up definitions here, he's not saying anything even remotely interesting.

> Ethereum protocol research is sometimes bulldozery in operation

This sentence (and the following paragraph) means nothing. Research is definitionally done by one dude in his garage (barring edge cases like weapons, viruses, human testing, etc.). Why would you even need sign-off for it? His point just makes no sense.

> The physical world has too much vetocracy, but the digital world has too many bulldozers, and there are no digital places that are truly effective refuges from the bulldozers (hence: why we need blockchains?)

What he's trying to say here is that big actors can act "too unilaterally" in the digital space, but small actors can "veto too much" in the real world. This is not true. Small actors cannot veto in the real world (or in the web2 digital world, for that matter), and I'd strongly suggest he reads Madison's Federalist 10 (where this is a major worry), but who am I kidding, these people think they just discovered sliced bread.
Honestly with the known ties between the US government and Google, if I were a state-level adversary I'd probably be wondering why Google wasn't scrubbing the plane programmatically, rather than assuming that I had caught someone in a 'Gotcha!' moment.

In other words; this google maps link has been circulating around the net for the past week and a half at least -- seemingly originating from either a Discord or the chans; if I were some foreign intelligence analyst I'd definitely be considering the premise that these photos have been so widespread and uncensored simply as an online show-of-force.

Omicron sounds like a winner for natural immunity. Probably a good time to catch it.
Just want to echo this story.

Maybe at the super bowl, or the opening of the olympics, or at some major pop stars tour where everything is time coded and planned and is the same production every night, sure.

But at festivals? Clubs? Whatever NYE party you go to this year? No.
They cite numbers from 2020 covering the whole country as evidence of no uptick in 2021 in LA and the Bay Area.
I think the larger issue (which Vitalik actually mentions a lot in this article) is that crypto is also bulldozery and the same stuff can happen.

In fact, something very similar did happen when etherium forked after the [edit] DAO hack.

At the end of the day, whoever has the resources has the power.

Then a small dot in the corner can't possibly be considered a use-case where it's "unusable" because using the computer with the default I/O in the manner you're suggesting means that those people are also ok with notifications, OS alerts, and any other OS chrome being OK on the screen. You cannot control the display of OS functions on the built in I/O via an app.

That being said, I just don't believe you. A 7-figure budget with semi trucks full of equipment that couldn't afford (or didn't think to afford) a video display device is unbelievable if you want to suggest that a small dot makes this unusable.
Agreed. My concerns with such vehicles is that they may be too tantalizing for people at such a low cost, only to find there is nowhere to get them worked on and nowhere to get the parts. The end result could be landfills full of these things. If there were any examples of hobbyists building these from the ground up using after-market parts that might be convincing enough to mitigate the concerns around these being disposable cars. Surely by now there must be a generation of tinkerers that would love to build and modify these little cars.
This always runs into strong resistance by the section of labor force who do get good health insurance coverage by their employers as theyre afraid to lose it.
Ask HN: Has anyone lived as a nomadic software developer?
Hello,

This year I took a trip to Europe and really loved it. I got such a thrill from visiting new cities and learning about their culture. I only spent maybe 3 days per city, but I would love to spend more like a few weeks per city/area. I'm wondering with the rise of remote work, is it possible to do this for the medium-term (I'm talking 1 to 1.5 year(s)). Has anyone lived a nomadic lifestyle like this? How did it pan out? What type of work did you do to support yourself?

Cheers!

You can dispatch nuclear power plants.

Its just that their high costs make that an uneconomical decision. Nuclear fuel is damn near free, so why would you ever want to turn it off unnecessarily? Only if the price of electricity reaches into negative-territory is it economically viable to turn off a nuclear power plant.

Same thing with wind / solar. As long as the price of electricity is positive, there's no point in turning them off.

--------

Now think about coal / natural gas. The price of fuel in these cases dominate. Which means its economically viable to turn off when the price of electricity drops (even if its still above $0).

According to my back of the napkin math that is not true.

Plane size: 150

Change that any random person has covid 7.5

Change that any random person has omicron 1.1

Chance that "someone" on the plane has covid: 0.99999

Chance that "someone" on the plane has omicron: 0.7785

So, you can expect someone on your plane to have covid, but 23% of the time no one has omicron.

Fly once and not vaccinated, you get covid

If you are vaccinated you get covid only 18% of the time.

But this is not just about your chances of getting covid, I think the point is more that people who are not taking precautions are much more likely to come onto the plane as a spreader in the first place.

I really have never understood the ability of people to divorce themselves from the notion that they can also be responsible for spreading covid, not just protecting themselves from getting it.
