Those are investments (which carry certain risks).

Gold is traditionally used specifically as a hedge against inflation (though you won't be getting nearly the returns over the long term compared to index funds).

> I mean, if you were at all serious about security you'd just not use it. So it's just as insecure.

That doesn't make any sense at all. Being "serious about security" doesn't mean letting the perfect be the enemy of the good (which is what you're doing).
God, I am so tired of these arguments. We need to stop bike-shedding web technology. You will never, ever convince me to go back to server-side rendering for the type of work I do. Are there other domains where that would be the wrong choice? Absolutely.

The web is a platform and we should not treat these tools as one-size-fits-all. Use the tools that fit your use case; there's no use in talking about the how without the why.

Something that was already known is that maybe dogs were domesticated in Mongolia. The studies and theories discussed in this article, IMO kinds of support it.

I'm curious as to the reasoning here. I've heard that advice before but never the why of it.
One possibility is to chose a specialty that is in high demand, and where you are not competing directly with large numbers of younger people. So, for instance:

1. Don't focus on frontend work. There are large numbers of young people going through development bootcamps and there specializing in front end work.

2. Maybe focus on devops. Right now, in New York City, the top devops people are charging between $200 and $300 an hour. And, in my experience (and with some notable exceptions) devops people tend to be older. But this strategy would require you to push yourself very hard to come up to speed on modern devops, which is a vast subject. It really depends on your own self-discipline. If you don't know much about this topic, you'll need to study 12 hours a day for 6 months to come up to speed. But presumably you already know some of the languages that play a large role. Ideally, you already know Python, as Ansible still plays a large role in devops.
I get what you're saying but this attitude is what essentially says "Developers are ok with this crap so keep doing it please". Or, in other words, you say it's unfair but then participate anyways and whatever you say no longer has value.

It really doesn't take much effort. Non compliance to this kind of interview BS would make at of these unfair practices go away.
If you shine a laser into diamond centered and perpendicular to the table face, the beam will be split and returned out of the table to show a pattern of dots (some bright, some dim). The pattern is unique to each diamond.

“The Margin Alien” is a fine and fitting next step. It’s okay to change.
Friedman would still on logically safe ground. The quote says [Inflation -> Monetary policy]. Logically, monetary policy may not necessarily cause inflation.

That isn't a pedantic point - if someone gave me 10 trillion dollars and banned me from spending it, there would be no inflation. Or if I lent it all out to people buying assets, or "invested" it in government bonds.
Water we take out of the air can't go into clouds and rivers upstream anymore.

Maybe, and this might sound crazy but hear me out, we should stop consuming that much water in regions where it's scarce. It's not sustainable and lowering the ground water table is only going to work for so long.
My parents had me do a driving school that specializes in inclement weather training. A few years ago, I did one at ProDrive at Portland International Raceway, and they have a car on a sled that reduces traction that is REALLY good for teaching kids this.

Definitely worth looking into in the PacNW.
Price signals are an important part of ensuring that resources go where they're needed, but this also sort of assumes that everyone has an equal capacity to pay.

There's an extent to which, yes, in a gas shortage I'll pay 4x to drive my wife to the hospital but not to drive my kids to the pool, so the gas goes where it's needed.

But if I'm very poor, I can't pay 4x even if my wife is in labour, and if I'm very rich, I'll pay whatever to drive my kids to the pool because I don't even notice gas prices.
When our society already does not provide decently nor sustainably for all of the US population it seems farcical to wring our hands over the economic effects of a decrease of our population growth.
Seems to me that 37% could easily encompass small children, old people, tribes, prisoners and some living under oppressive regimes. So in other words, pretty much everyone uses the internet.
One of the other comment threads indicates that the data, that you need to do that kind of annotation of the sequence, is to some extent available for home use as well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29695449

I'm really hoping someone will work on an open source "23andme@home" solution that ties all this together in an accessible way.
To add detail... A major part of FCC testing of hardware is that it will work correctly even when other people are transmitting stuff on other frequency bands.

So, provided all hardware out there went through the proper FCC tests, and nobody cheated, then it's guaranteed to work.

The issue is that what the FCC rules say, and how devices in the field actually behave, can differ...
That is insane, but the "why" is subtle.

What is to stop this system from stealing water off to California when there is a drought everywhere?

Let California use the water it has. And when it's wrecked it's resources, then industry has to face reality.

California's water resources has been managed badly and industry has run rampant there.

You just did what you accused me of doing.

I wasn't saying there is never any point in going with the flow. I was just highlighting that there is wisdom in not following the crowd all the time as long as you're both contrarian and right.
A thing I started doing when I lived in my first snow climate was finding an empty parking lot after the first snow of the year and really testing out my car.

Accelerate to 30-40 and slam on the brakes.

Take a sharp turn in both directions and find the speed you lose traction.

Do a few donuts.

30-40 minutes of practice every year really helps you understand how your car will perform in the snow and you can decide if you need new snow tires, brakes, etc. You'll also be honing skills for that avoiding the inevitable bozo that tries to kill you that year.
I love what this nurse is doing. I apologize in advance for this rant, but we're almost TWO YEARS into this thing and I have no more sympathy for the self-titled "dumb asses" who didn't get vaccinated, almost died, and now preach their story of redemption to everyone. I'm glad you made it through, but don't look to me for any thanks or recognition. How many cancer patients, transplant candidates, car accident victims, seniors and immune-compromised people died because you directly infected them, or took a hospital bed? How many health care workers will leave the field because you added largely preventable work? How many kids lost (and continue to be deprived of) the single safe place they could learn or get a decent meal when in-person schools shut down? A big part of this is YOUR FAULT and I'm not ready to forgive yet.

Thank you to health care workers who keep grinding away to help others, and individuals like this who fight the ignorance and misinformation. You are heros in a time when we really need them.

The part you quoted doesn’t seem to address the output half of Friedman’s statement, repeated here for convenience:

A very practical reason not to want your DNA out there, unrestricted, is insurance costs. From car insurance, to health insurance, to mortgage lending rates, and life insurance, and while GINA from 2008 is supposed to protect that information, there are loopholes with the interpretation of that law that should give everybody pause.

This is indeed important for a serialization format to permit extensions, and ASN1 types can accordingly be extended in a backward compatible way (for instance, enumerations can be said to also accept other constructors to be defined in the future).
The McDonald's nearby doesn't allow counter orders anymore. You can only order through the kiosk, or using the phone app.

Both of them have numerous problems, and it's more time-efficient to order Uber Eats. But that has massive added fees.

I considered signing up to be an Uber Eats driver and filtering for anyone within 1 meter of me so I could pick up my own orders and save time(Uber's app is better), but there's not enough precision to do that.

So I ditched McDonald's and mostly drink Soylent nowadays.
Aye. If someone offers me a way to block them, I'll happily use it.

> Since they all have to learn to drive a stick (manual), we learn how to brake via downshifting too.

Something to be aware of when shifting down on stick shift is that certain carts are really unbalanced when braking on the gear. You won't notice in the summer, but on slippery roads just releasing the accelerator carelessly while in a low gear can send you on a sled ride.
I would never work at a FAANG unless I had no other option. They will pay you handsomely, but they will take their pound of flesh. It's also extremely monocultural: your life, your world, your culture, is about their bottom line.

Personally, if I was presented with a leetcode interview (I was interviewing a few months ago), I bowed out pretty damned quickly.

You really need to catch up on the tech. In addition to what the other comments are saying, look into contributing: https://github.com/MunGell/awesome-for-beginners

Obviously, FAANG is for some people. You seriously need to have a very hard think if that is you.
Most people are tongue and cheek about this type of thing. When you spend every year dealing with snow, it is just a bit wacky to see how it affects people and areas who aren’t used to it. The topic has come up plenty of times in my life and it always immediately transitions into listing the obvious reasons why it happens.

But it’s an opportunity to get all territorial and worked up so we get threads like this.
Agree. The other thing I'd add is that we're long overdue for a more fundamental paradigm shift in webdev.

That is, we've changed our goal from the original page request/response model to one of delivering native-like SPA experiences. But, the frameworks that win don't fundamentally reconsider the old technology. Instead, they stop at the DOM layer, speak heavy HTML/CSS, make us manage browser mechanics like URLs, history and back buttons, and help us to better manage those old Web constructs while keeping them in focus.

So, they've added these abstraction layers that just keep piling up.

At some point we have to ask whether this is fundamentally the right approach.
I take it you have never heard about the Criteria Cognitive Aptitude Test (or similar) that every candidate has to take nowadays even before being invited for a technical interview.
What HW and SW are you using? I am guessing Virtual Desktop.
In California at least, it’s not that simple. There are “all weather tires” that, when paired with AWD, count for “snow tires” per CalTRANS chain control, and then there are real snow (and also, ice) tires. Guess what? You’re gonna have a better time with real snow tires versus all weather, but only the minority of vehicles in chain control in CA have them (IE the majority has chosen the wrong tire for snow safety).
> How do you connect to it from your side, RDP?

I don't. I start the UltraVNC viewer in listen mode and the remote computer connects to mine when my dad clicks the desktop short-cut.

That was one of the features I wanted. I can't connect to his computer (and spy) even if I wanted to. I like ensuring that level of autonomy as a minimum.

> Is it peer-to-peer or it goes via some 3rd party server?

It is peer-to-peer.

> Do you setup a tunnel on your end?

No tunnel (in the VPN sense). The VNC software uses encryption itself. I had to setup a port forward on my modem to my PC. I also needed a host name that points to the public IP address of my home internet connection for the software on my Dad's end to use for the destination when it tries to connect to me. (So, dynamic DNS or some such.)

All of that setup is for my own equipment though. My dad has swapped internet providers and/or modems a couple of times and no re-configuration of equipment was needed when this happened.
And the cause
Most cities do limit the sorts of flowers they plant.

> We cannot make the entire world ideal for everyone.

Huh? So just f** accessibility and leave everyone on their own? I'd understand if you'd argued that it wouldn't be feasible to do a particular thing, but such general statements leave a very bad taste.
Europe is only using 3.4-3.8 GHz. The US is going up to 4.2 GHz.
I'd much rather see a really robust network of buses than another light rail expansion. It's not convenient to get to the train, and it crawls through downtown at an average pace of 17 mph. I live all of 20 minutes from downtown (by car), and even then it would take me as long as 60 minutes during the day to catch the nearest bus, and then 30+ minutes to make it downtown (and that assumes the connections work flawlessly). It's not practical to use the bus here except for people who live and work in relatively close proximity, in certain areas of town.

I personally believe that part of the problem is Portland's style of government. There's a pretty good reason why it's the largest city in the US governed by committee. Though to be fair that may not really explain the whole problem. Just trying to design a replacement bridge across the Columbia cost 175 million without ever doing anything. Dysfunctional is an understatement for Oregon.
There's also the issue that with 5G phased array antennae, tx power limits are not restricted as tightly. With a standard single tx antenna, it's easy to calculate the amount of EM energy it can create in the 3D space around the antenna. With phased array beamforming, you're using using multiple small antennae and amplifying the signal beyond the sum of the individual outputs. The safety ratings for EM radiation around phased arrays tend not to be calculated on the theoretical maximum TX power, but on the typical usage. The result is that with low enough level access to the firmware, someone could theoretically weaponize a 5G antenna to produce unsafe levels of RF energy, as well as aim the antenna without physically moving the hardware.

This sounds far-fetched, and it is, but I wouldn't be surprised if we see it done in a lab, like some of the other practically infeasible but bleeding edge cool hacks.
Oh, I don't know. At least they get practice.

A friend, observing the people who relocated to Montana, suggested that a surprise snow storm in the bay area on a weekday morning would solve the housing crisis very quickly, though for time there would be a massive backlog in the morgues.
Know the risks though: when inflation increases very fast, the Feds might end up having to respond with a shock, and usually real estates are the first to respond to this shock by losing 5-10%.
We went from 1.5 billion at the beginning of the 20th century to 8+ billion today and we've seen the consequences on the climate and environment at large. And that's globally: per capita the US are amongst the worst polluters and consumers and totally unsustainable.

So we really need to shift paradigm and to stop screaming "think of the economy!" to justify unsustainable population growth.

I'm looking forward for a government in a developed country to having the courage to announce that the goal is 0 population growth at best and to adapt society accordingly.
I agree. Just thought it is funny, because VR is really like putting a TV on one’s nose :)
Yes, on both counts.

My daily driver is a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. The rear axle was damaged when I bought it, and I replaced it with a Ford 8.8” axle assembly and fabricated my own adapters for it. A few weeks ago the parking brake stopped working correctly and I didn’t have time to fix it myself, so I dropped it off at a local dealership. They had no trouble repairing it, despite the fact that my Jeep came ORM with rear drum brakes and now has disc brakes on the rear.
not to be rude but 250K uniques users is 3 new users per second and doesn't say anything about concurrent users. Concurrent users are scaling problem
Looks similar to an X-ray crystallography diffraction pattern, except that requires X-rays.
I am a math guy. There is no way to actually do these calculations in practice that does not at some point boil down to something done on a computer to finite precision. For example if you want to plot planetary orbits you should plug in your most precise available measurements, use Runge-Kutta, and produce rational approximations.

There is no way to test our theories in practice that doesn't at some point involve comparing this finite precision prediction with a finite precision observation.

Pontificating about the failures of a discrete approximation to be able to be computationally accurate in a continuous world may be fun armchair philosophy, but CANNOT be useful scientifically. Because we can only measure and work with finite precision approximations to that hypothesized continuous reality.
Interesting to this title and the opposite on HN at the same time: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/12/26/us/texas-newborns-birthra...
Yeah, me too. My life was basically set up and forget. Except for that time I upgraded my instance and the upgrade came with an unexpected and unwanted IP change. Unfortunately it seemed like the new IP has been used for spam and I had to spend some time clearing my IP status. But eventually everyone understood and my IP is clear and shiny now.
The core of it is free banking: anyone who wants to can produce their own currency and manage it however they want. The exchange rate to the standard monopoly currency is determined by the market.

Another major element (though more common in house rules) is that arbitrary agreements between players are allowed, enforced only by one's honour.

(These rules probably only work when sort of the same group of people play multiple sessions.)
I just tried ask.moe, but it clearly noted that the search results were provided by Google
Understood. I chose (forgive me) 'choosing the correct tire' because not everybody in snowy areas knows they need them, and not everybody has ready access to them. There's often no legal requirement for snow tyres, and some countries (Australia, for example) don't even HAVE snow tyres even though Canberra for eg, tends to get snow at least once a year.

Snow is no stranger in Scotland either, and there's no snow tyres requirement in the UK.

Germany has a law that states you must have winter tyres or all-year tyres from October to Easter ("Oktober bis Ostern" - O to O).

Drive up to Tiffindell Ski Resort in South Affrica (8,920 ft up) in whatever you have - donkey cart, bicyle, 4x4... That gets snowed in regularly, and there's a just a hand-made "4WD recommended" sign at the bottom of the mountain.
For my Tacoma, I make sure to put enough weight in the back (over the rear axle) to help offset the vehicle being front heavy. Typically in straightaways, if no one is around, on some of the rural roads I drive I'll test braking (not slamming, but just steady) to check traction. I've also replaced tires considered to have sufficient tread, but were a couple of years old, to make sure getting through a season was as safe as possible. I also do a bit of off roading.

I used to have a subaru and the better weight distribution made the car much more stable.

Multiple times in the last month, I've driven a stretch of Hwy 80 between Sierraville and Truckee (about 25mi) and have seen all sorts driving beyond their ability and having or coming very close to accidents. Always love when people try and pass with a blind turn coming up. I also tend to pull over and back off to let darwin do his thing.
Should we cut down all trees next to road? They’re a beautiful distraction.
Yep that’s the one. They update the flow cells over time. The bit they don’t tell you is the stuff you need, like a qubit, to properly run the thing.
Thanks for the suggestion, I think I will! It has definitely been, as you say, a wild ride. Sort of awkwardly, the quarantine ended up being one of the best things that could have happened for my trajectory. I wouldn't have asked for it, but a year of cloistering to self-teach was invaluable.
Or tell Google, Facebook and Amazon everything about themselves for free!!
Yeah check then if there an app keeping the phone awake. I bet that's it.
The UX might not be great, but at least it establishes a floor for how bad the company’s web presence will be. I can’t count the number of supposed company websites I’ve encountered that are totally broken, or replaced by a parked domain because they probably haven’t paid their bills for 10 years, or literally using a flash embed that browsers don’t support any more, etc. I’d honestly rather see the social media profile. It’s unlikely to be broken and it’s more likely to be up to date.
U.S. and Britain Help Ukraine Prepare for Potential Russian Cyberassault
Normal guidance systems, which rely on non-accelerometer input, are vulnerable to external jamming.
The article here is all about arguing against what you have been saying: its author argues that the autism spectrum is not "a typical spectrum [that] is the exact same thing as gradients of frequencies" - or a gradient of anything else, for that matter. This is, in fact, the main point of the article! Carrie Beckwith-Fellows' TED talk does not address this issue at all: she makes an analogy to the color spectrum, but there is no indication that this analogy extends to there being an underlying gradient analogous to frequency. Both author and speaker argue that even the conflation of the somewhat pop-sci gradient of high/low functioning with the spectrum is a misunderstanding!

I think the important message from both people here is not that there is no gradient - of "functioning", stress, or something else - but that it is / they are largely orthogonal to the dimension plotted out by the spectrum's categorical values.
The Real Web3
The BSD philosophy is to provide a whole cohesive system that has been designed to work together. Linux is just a kernel and components bolted together.
Coming from a public policy perspective and background, I don’t see it that way. Rather that’s simply how some have chosen to frame it (and some like yourself have come to accept it).
5 hours was meant as a casual usage. Running a graphic-intensive game will be probably less. Fast charging with a dedicated stand would be a super nice thing.
They also require a paid account for this now. Though, I have one grandfathered in from like 15 years ago.
