They're not overriding anything - those with the money pays more to obtain the right to decide where the resources go.

But they _can_ pay more because they've produced the wealth in the past (and did not consume it). If their will could be overridden at a moment's notice, then this stored wealth means less, and thus people would choose to consume more and not invest, and thus, the overall aggregate wealth would be reduced.

Reddit banned chapo subreddit. Reddit does not take kindly to more serious hard left subreddits. As if any platform does (Discord, YouTube, etc). To be fair, this isn’t only anti capitalism issues communities or people though.

> Buffet

Probably because it’s a trendy edgy thing to say online and casually in real life. Can you point me to some harder left subreddits or communities? Being casually or meme focused anti capitalist isn’t the same thing to taking it seriously. I know there’s stuff like that late stage capitalist one.

> 20 per pro capitalist

I believe we are using pro capitalist differently. I used it in an earlier comment for any community that will relate to serious status quo issues in society and be okay with capitalism and/or not make it a priority/superficially put it down at times. So all those big subreddits like their main news, political news, every country’s main subreddit, would all be pro capitalist.

> low quality

Exactly. The subreddit without low quality content was banned. There’s a funny thing of being anti capitalist but not wanting to upend the status quo as much. Those two ideas don’t add up of course. But that’s why low quality makes sense then.

> but if the reality is that certain topics attract low quality discusion then maybe that ideology simply isnt interesting to many intelligent people

I assume you will say you didn’t mean to point this specifically at anti capitalist ideology. Why write this sentence then? Why specify ideology vs topic if you weren’t at some level pointing a finger at anti capitalist ideology?

—

I know we are getting a bit contentious here. I’ll admit my side is primarily because of the last bit above where I’m perceiving my assumptions. I could be wrong.

I do want to point out I’m not anti capitalist in the same way the OP was. I don’t much care if capitalism is or isn’t the economic system in a society I dream up. I prefer focusing on status quo issues en masse. So I have little bias for specifically caring about anti capitalist communities being given their respect because of being anti capitalist.

Yes - it looks cartoonish at first, but you get over that quickly. The positional audio is on point as well.
Likely not, it's a book that relies on the visual representations of how things are laid out a bit too often.

What that means in practical terms is that you'll be presented with diagrams and need to pause and think what they really mean.

This context will likely not be translated well in the audio form.
Ah, but the KPI the execs are measuring for the kiosks is probably "self serve orders" so the more awkward they make the alternatives the better the numbers look
Former computational materials scientist here. There are groups that are using ML for finding materials to simulate, and some beginning to use it to speed up simulations. Still that said, simulating cutting, abrasion, sharpening (I suppose it would be called to some extent tribology) is still in the infancy of simulation. Steel is extra difficult compared to other materials, and it has such a history of innovation that all exists at a sort of mesoscale out of reach of contemporary atomistic simulations. Still some have attempted it: https://www.dierk-raabe.com/icme/ or more recently: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S09270... Still the from Simulation/Search -> Experiment pipeline is working generally at much smaller scales that steel structures for now. ie micro instead of nano
If a Lockheed engineer spontaneously discovers a defense technology, Lockheed can patent the tech and try to sell it independently or license the patent to another firm.

Some government contracts will assign such spontaneous discoveries to the government with some incentive on the contract for patents produced.

Without the patent system, some discoveries would simply be forgotten about or remain in one engineers head - unfortunately the patent world has become fairly bloated with minimally inventive discoveries being written up by lawyers.

Why not? The attacker's goal was to run untrusted code on your server. They don't necessarily care if it's running in the JNDI process or the server component that's logging as the first step. It's a beachhead into a pretty trusted component, and exploits these days are long chains. I'm sure there are other components over those IPC channels that aren't expecting JNDI to be lying now which can be used to expand that beachhead.

Just as 'no one' would load random class files off of untrusted servers into a vm without the fine grained capabilities you're talking about?

I agree with the spirit, but haven't found a sandbox that stayed "well-sandboxed" over time.
Your flip comment seems to belie fact that he's only earned at least a half a million dollars for one year.

475k == 500k for all practical purposes. The guy averaged 525k for 3 solid years (not "one year") -- which makes the parent comment rather less flip.

These sort of casual dismissals negate the educational value of the post.

The bottom line is that while saving and investing is certainly smart -- you better damn sure be earning 98 percentile income as well if you want to get as far ahead of the game as this guy has.
> I learnt that even an average engineer with a five-figure salary can become a millionaire by her late 30s, through financial discipline and investment planning.

I can collect enough pennies to have a million dollars too. What do you trade for that and how likely is it that you will have the resources to live it out? His living expenses are put at 0 with a network of whatever his salary was. No rent, no car, default employer health insurance, 600/mo to eat ramen and cover utils, no kids, etc.

The statistical evidence supports the pessimist strategy. In theory, theory and practice they are the same...

These blogposts feel like clickbait to troll. It inevitably leads to people arguing past each other with the predictable outcome of neither being wholly right, but the optimists blowing sunshine like it's a useful fairy dust and the premise remains laughably unrealistic, regardless. I know plenty of dirt poor optimists.
How do you know that the Government would not have done those things either way? The unvaccinated do make a good scapegoat though. Plus, I think you are greatly overestimating the vaccine's efficacy of reducing transmission, especially when it comes to newer variants. There are also many people who pose little to no risk AND are not vaccinated.

As far as the unvaccinated getting hospitalized goes, well... do you have this amount of hatred towards the obese, too?

Regardless, your comment came across as pretty hostile, you seem to have a lot of hatred.

That’s what every hipster thinks he’s doing, too. “Everyone leaves the beaten path only to fall into the same ditch,” wrote the social theorist René Girard, the father of mimetic theory.

Good questions, I'd be interested to see how others answer. I've changed how I use HN use a lot from way back when. I really don't use the front page as much as I used to. Date search based on various keywords and New are more interesting to me.

My perspective on HN changed as well. At first I was guilty about it. My use correlated with procrastination times :-). But I have come to see HN as a source/expression of a variety of psychological relief mechanisms.

When I use the counterparts of those mechanisms too much in my daily grind (a set of subjective perceptions), HN is a good source of the opposite, e.g. others' objective judgments (not objective as in "reliable", but rather objective as in "not mine") and specific types of new-to-me perceptions. The general topic being so impersonal is also helpful and helps take the focus off of "my life stuff" which by itself can be draining.

I'm looking at chaining the use of HN with other activities these days, taking advantage of the awareness of its pros for use as leverage. Can't share much ATM though except that it's based on similar effort/relief mechanisms lined up intentionally.

Took me a bit to figure it out. Each row is an attempt. I'm on mobile so after you put in a five letter word you need to tap on the "enter" key which weirdly is on the left side of the virtual keyboard. Once you press enter it will show you the results of that row and you keep trying for the remaining rows.
I would say that pulse-density modulation is more of an abstract concept and sigma-delta is a particular implementation. Or in other words, sigma-delta is a one technique used to produce a pulse-density modulation.
They dont fall neatly at all. Yes all the accounts you have described can be categorised fairly easily but they are all pretty trivial examples.

Harder accounts are things like tracking inventory. Yes you have the easy "Inventory" account on the balance sheet, but what about the "Opening Balance", "Purchases" and "Closing Balance" accounts that live on the profit and loss. They are all debit positive accounts but two of those always carry a credit balance and should be presented as a negative on the P&L.

If you want to be pedantic then probably those 3 accounts combined make up an expense account. But accountants split them out to make the financials easier to process. And the account split into 3 sub accounts for better presentation doesnt fit into the broad categories, but its still normal practice.
It actually does seem that this virus has a fairly unique ability to directly attack the brain.
Thanks! That would be since the skippable timestep width is bounded by the size of the size of the patterns that you've memorized. Say we have a square pattern of size W. The outcome of this pattern within this region in 1 timestep is completely determined by its surrounding square region of size W+2c, with c as the speed of light (pixels per timestep), since patterns beyond that can never interfere with it unless its interference travels beyond the speed of light. For two timesteps the surrounding region would be of size W+4c, since more pixels can interfere with it within that amount of time. Therefore, If you memorize a pattern of size W+4c, you can predict the outcome of the inner square of size N after 2 timesteps, or the inner square of size W+2c after 1 timestep, etc. This sets an upper bound to the number of timesteps you can skip, depending on the sizes of the patterns that you have memorized. So if you've memorized a pattern of size W+200c, you can predict the outcome of the inner square of size c after 100 timesteps, but predicting the 101st timestep would require information of a region beyond the memorized pattern.

Do you know how tungsten carbide with nickel binder stacks up in comparison? The usual cobalt binder of course isn't that good in terms of corrosion resistance, but for e.g. vegetable knife purposes, sharpness is very much required, toughness only so much as a brittle blade shatters if you look at it funny, and edge retention determines whether you have to (learn to) sharpen it at location, or can transport it to a service center.

I’m not sure I follow how phase noise is related to an interfering channel emitting meaningful radiation 100MHz out of band. If all of these transmitters are compliant then it’s a non-issue. I’ve also never seen a transmitter where phase noise was more of a factor than IF in the context to out of band emissions.

Could you elaborate on how phase noise would cause an issue in this scenario?

I had an iBook G3 that I used with Linux PPC. I'm not sure about your model, but I think that entire line had hardware suspension, so it had little or nothing to do with OSX.

It was one reason I got it, fast suspension was all over the place on PC laptop hardware on Linux at the time, but on Mac hardware it would Just Work, as long as your OS supported it (which I think amounted to just telling the firmware to initiate suspension).

The other reason being that battery life on PPC was far superior to x86 at the time, that was one of the things that got a bit worse with Apple's x86 transition, and better again now with their new M1 hardware.

Try taking a vacation on the island of Ischia in the Bay of Naples. We did.

We found out too late that Ischia was the island that mostly Germans went to after WWII, so most people there spoke at least decent German on top of their native Italian, but very few knew English.

If you’re an English speaker, you want to go to the nearby island of Capri. That’s apparently where most US and UK service personnel went on vacation.

The nearby Amalfi coast was frequented more by speakers of a third language, but by the time we got to touring the Amalfi coast we were just so exhausted from all the trying to communicate on Ischia that we kind of just gave up.

Folks are certainly working on it from many dimensions, but it’s a pretty hard problem since getting ground truth data involves making and testing materials, which is a very different problem to automate than training machine learning models.

> 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.

Technically, neither of those things are true. An efficient market only ensures that resources aren’t wasted - that they won’t be allocated in ways that are worse for everyone. There are still (infinitely) many efficient outcomes where some people could be better off at the expense of others.

Defining ‘need’, especially when it comes to trade offs between individuals is an extremely fraught and unsolved (and demonstrably unsolvable) problem in economics.
Okay that's sick. Absolutely awesome idea.
You can add the following RSS feeds:

- https://hnrss.org/newest?q=openstep (gives you posts referencing openstep) [edit: @themodelplumber posted a comment about GNUStep, the URI can also be: https://hnrss.org/newest?q=openstep+OR+gnustep]

- https://hnrss.org/newcomments?q=openstep (gives you comments referencing openstep, you can see that yours is in there) [edit: as per @themodelplumber's comment, the URI can be: https://hnrss.org/newcomments?q=openstep+OR+gnustep]

You can also keep separate feeds; it is up to you.

You can have that in your email client. Say you use Mozilla Thunderbird for email:

- Click on the menu

- Click New

- Click "Feed account"

- Enter a name "HN OpenStep"

- Click "Next"

- Click "Finish"

You will have one "HN OpenStep" element appear on the left sidebar in Thunderbird. Click on that, then:

- Click "Manage feed subscriptions", from the right pane.

- Enter: https://hnrss.org/newest?q=openstep in the "Feed URL" field on the window that appears

- Click "Add"

- Click "Close".

You will see "Hacker News - Newest openstep ([number])" appear on the left sidebar, as a child element of "HN OpenStep" 'feed account'.

To add the feed for comments:

- Click "Manage feed subscriptions", from the right pane.

- Enter: https://hnrss.org/newcomments?q=openstep in the "Feed URL" field on the window that appears

- Click "Add"

- Click "Close".

You will see "Hacker News - New Comments openstep ([number])" appear on the left sidebar, as a child element of "HN OpenStep" 'feed account'.

Type a 5 letter word in. It must be a real word (in its word list). The letters will be highlighted according to the instructions it pops up on load. You can then try another word. 6 tries to get the right word.

The fact that each try needs to be a real world is not stated in the instructions, which confused me too.
I don’t believe we have a good way to compute various macro properties of something like steel. We can compute density and what not, but how much it holds its sharpness or something is something I haven’t seen.

So I am not sure how to get the training data needed for ML.

Does any one know if statcounter’s data skews any way for the data to be biased in any way? Duck Duck Go on pace to surpass Yahoo at some point in 2022 and not be too far behind Bing is pretty wild to me.

Perhaps Bing’s lack of market share is what is more surprising but should not be. Duck Duck Go’s share makes sense. And for Yandex to round out the top 6 at 0.08%. A decade ago AOL and Ask.com still had some relevancy.

Also, I wonder if there are any countries outside Russia, Belarus, Turkey, South Korea (technically North Korea too), Japan, and China, where Google doesn’t have at least 80% market share. Or another search engine with at least 5% market share like Vietnam just getting to that.

No, do go ahead, because I don't understand really any of the dudgeon being worked up in this thread, given the original license gave Microsoft the right to do virtually anything it wanted to with the software already. Obviously, Microsoft shouldn't take credit for other people's work; equally obviously, to me at least, that's not what they were trying to do, since all it took was a single Github link to show what had happened.

So, yes, nonsense issue. What am I missing?
