you probably mean Utahraptor; velociraptors were rather smallish, contrary to what the movies would have you believe.

I have had the thought that part of America's secret sauce is the ability to spread out and have our own private spaces to tinker and experiment.

Possibly develops more creative, industrious people who learn to just do things without waiting to ask for permission?
Your hometown is probably a pretty cool place. The article, though, discusses car-centric sprawling American suburbia, which post-dates WWII and society's mass adoption of the automobile. It's not cool.
Cometstream is much better in every way.
I don't think that's true. And I don't think wrecking some people's lives just as an incentive for others to look for solutions is easy to justify.
Is this just drive by negativity?

In my experience, both Linux developers and BSD developers don't seem to care too much about porting things to the other's operating system. If you want to do things the Linux way you can use Linux, and if you want to do things the BSD way you can use BSD. That's seen as easier than trying to glue two incompatible things together.
Some substantial portion of Americans poll as not owning guns but being glad their neighbors do. The reasons vary, deterring criminals and/or state authority often appearing. It's not surprising that some of these people use reddit and HN.
I like the utopia you're describing, but it's definitely not American suburbia.
Omicron may actually help deaths taper off a bit quicker than otherwise.
In my opinion, the only useful metric is profit generated

We know by observing private equity that the easiest way to hack this metric is by doing layoffs until there is imminent threat of the business vanishing.
> unless you take "flushed down the drain" to mean "made a bit worse", which again you shouldn't do because that's not what those words mean.

It takes a remarkable amount of privilege to say something like this.

We stole peoples proms, first dates, high school dances, drunken college hookups, funerals, weddings, livelihoods, social lives, you name it and we stole it in a failed attempt to “flatten the curve”.

People who minimize or brush away the impact the last two hellish years of our existence are either privileged as fuck or have a pathetic, miserable pre-pandemic life. I hardly know what else to say.

How dare anybody say last two years was “made a bit worse”. Speak for yourself… but you have no right to make that claim of others. These last two years seriously fucked my shit up and I’m hardly the minority. Screw people who gaslight us by saying “made a bit worse”.
But that didn't happen here?

I've heard this said often, but people who I've heard saying this have never offered up an actual poll to back this supposed sentiment up. Surely there must be at least a Rasmussen poll (that tilts heavily conservative) that backs claims like this up with numbers?

This is a good example of how the anti-China rhetoric presents with a blind spot for the West (I am a westerner). Rather than learning from what they did right, folks in my country just shrug and say “you can’t trust their stats”. That may be so, and sure, there may have been a large number of specific problems and areas for improvement, but there’s no universe in which China did not display strong overall competency. You can see that even if you take most official figures with a grain of salt.

Tried Matrix (and Synapse) the 3rd time a couple of months ago and gave up after a few days.

Joining any larger federated room took days or did not complete at all. And then the messages were also delayed for quite a while. That must be the stupidest design I have seen.

If it was not so messed up, Matrix probably would have become huge by now.

I agree with others in comments, devs should have probably improved the federation and written the official server in some compiled language and provided it as a single binary.
I guess that came off pretty bluntly. I was saying we can dismiss this side of the argument, since it's blatantly classist/racist. I don't assume that you or any reasonable person would believe that line of thinking.

But since we're on the subject of taking the high road, I will say that you did, moments earlier, accuse me of being privileged to the point of being out of touch. If you want good and civil discourse, maybe ease up on the personal attacks yourself? Thanks
The most interesting things I've ever come across are old and dead technologies. Better question is why wouldn't this be posted to HN?
The issue with low APRs on high risk short term debt for consumers that need it is that it generally makes it expensive to issue the debt almost regardless of the risk of the person.

Hypothetically if you need a $700 payday advance today, paid back in 2 weeks when you are paid, a credit card level (25% apr) would be an extremely small amount of money paid to the servicer (like 7 dollars total).
Wait till you see the test that is asked of Police officers. There's a joke about that one goes something like this:

This is why that mutual practice that say British spy on US companies/people, and US in exchange spies on British companies/people, and both thus don't violate their own laws.

My understanding is that various US private, political and government forces have been using Israeli private physical and cyber security/intelligence services like NSO against US targets in particular for that reason. For example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cube#Iran_Nuclear_Deal_a...

I don't think the guidelines of HN allow insinuating other commenters are paid shills. It's entirely possible someone visited China and genuinely loved the country and the people. Let's not be rude.
The ones where kids chat about or search for non-school-related, very delicate and private topics, with their teacher digitally looking over their shoulder (to which the stalking software you implied they use would have alerted the students - or so the brochure claims).

It's possible the kids don't care about the spying, and keep discussing/searching for those topics even when the "You are being monitored" notification pops up. But I don't find that likely. Nor would the teachers describe it as "stalking" if that information was shared willingly.

Maybe by suddenly turning on screen recording, teachers were able to catch snapshots of chats and searches before the students could close those windows? But that is still a gross violation of privacy, and definitely not "no different from before".
Well if there's one thing HOA's really like, it's creative people. /s
The US dollar is in high demand internationally. The fact that it is the world's reserve currency will ensure that "our money is not worth the paper it's written with" remains false. The US trade deficit allows for nations with trade surpluses (e.g., China, Russia, Holland) to acquire USD while Americans acquire products and services.

Landlords raising prices has less to do with the issue of forex and more to do with the housing market and inflation.
Absolutely. You’ll be issued credit right away (at higher rates), since you can’t go BK again for a number of years [1] and you’re eligible for an FHA mortgage 1-2 years after filing BK. It’s not great, but it’s not a financial death sentence either. It’s arguably one of the reasons for financial dynamism in the US, where failure is less risky (compared to other OECD countries without such debt forgiveness mechanisms).

When I went through it about 10 years ago, I took out an unsecured personal loan for 2.5% and used the cash to "pay off" my student loans. Then I just had a $500/mo payment until I was done with it.

I was making about $35K per year but was careful to have excellent credit. It can be done.

Heard a human-interest story on local radio praising the pandemic child tax credit. Most said they paid their mortgage, bought food, etc., but one said they spent it on stocks and cryptocurrency. Yeah that's not going to end well.
Crowdstrike is one the best and most expensive EDR systems on the market. I doubt he'd put their name in jeopardy with misinformation.

Personally as a European I wouldn't mind if Eastern Ukraine (Donbas in particular) rejoins Russia. The people in the region sure want it, and that's what freedom is about, making your own choices. If they don't it'll be an unstable area of insurgency for decades anyway. It's been a warzone for years.

However an invasion would cause instability in itself. It would increase tensions and cause NATO to build up forces. I hope they come to a diplomatic solution but I agree that Russia's public demand are completely ridiculous and designed to fail.

I don't really understand why they view us and NATO as such a threat. We'd never invade Russia.. Nobody would ever want to. And Ukraine and Azerbaijan etc they allowed to separate years ago. It was their own choice.
And property taxes and fuel taxes, which pay for most of the stuff under consideration, have only gone up. In some cases, way up.
> Except the banks who loaned you money! There aren't that many banks, and credit reports aren't their only source of intelligence.

I don't think they have that info. It's not like you go take a walk down to your local bank and talk to a loan officer that grew up with you. It's a faceless nameless corporation that does very standard checks. They often don't even hold the debt. Trust me, they want to give you a loan and don't have their shit together enough to get unofficial credit history that they're not legally allowed to use.
A useful term is “endemic corruption”. We like to think of corruption as illegal activity like kickbacks, and bribes. However there is also corruption where everyone pads the estimates a bit, everyone makes things a bit harder than they should be, and tons of “make work” to keep all the jobs created for forgotten purposes busy.

Real reform will be hard.
Why Uber Won't Call the Police
Much like insulation they help, and I would wager its cost effective in most places most of the time, in particular for individuals. But I am not sure how well it scales.

Compare building and installing 5 million heatpumps with building 2GW new nuclear power production ? The latter could include at least one city heated entirely by cooling water, but even ignoring that, using Finnish numbers for nuclear, and ballparking optimistically the heaters? They cost about the same, take about the same time to build and install... its unclear to me which would lower individual costs more, which would be better for the economy, or climate. I guess heatpumps win on individual costs, nuclear on the economy, and both being roughly equal on climate. The nuclear plant certainly wins on total maintenance resources/work, but the heatpumps on versatility of maintenance, i.e. you can just say fuck it with heat pump maintenance in a way you cant with nuclear. Nuclear wins on flexibility, while heatpumps win on rollout, giving its highest benefits very quickly, but taking as, if not far longer, to complete. There is often a benefit to mass production over individual small scale stuff though. If we could build at 1970ties + inflation prices though, the nuclear plant power would cost less than a tenth, and output more power than the total heating the corresponding 500k heat pumps provide.

Compare to how people buying and installing large supplemental home solar+lithium ion battery packs looks great, until you consider the cost and time to deploy a million such, and compare that to the cost and speed by which we could produce a large hydropower dam as energy storage. The latter wins by a landslide, or occasionally flood^^. Heatpumps are much better and cheaper, though, so its harder to tell.
What I was taught in Virology 575 at UW-Madison: new viruses face intense selective pressure, and this tends to make them less pathogenic over time as they make their way through the new host population.
I believe this to be complete bullshit, and the infrastructure deficit is far worse in large cities which supposedly have the population density to pay for it. Look at NYC: everything outside of central Manhattan seems like it's about to collapse. San Francisco is billions in the hole for maintaining the water system and so on. It seems to be mostly wishful thinking that the suburbs will go bankrupt to due to routine maintenance. (It is a problem in more sprawled-out exurbs to be sure.)
the crazy thing is that most people meet online these days and since tinder and hinge are owned by the same media umbrella company and are the most popular dating apps, if you get banned from

That’s a much less acute problem as it’s possible to stockpile or get from elsewhere. Gas pipelines would require new pipelines to replace (or gas ports and storage etc) which won’t happen this winter.
Elastic Security uncovers BLISTER malware campaign
Yes, and I have space in my apartment for a home office/lab/hobby room, too. I'm not able to do a lot involving machinery or chemicals & such, but I am able to maintain a home computer lab, digital macro photography setup, and still have space for work/office use.
An old car is not a 2000$ surprise bill and you are done. It’s 1000 and after a couple of months another 2000 and after that another 1000. It never stops asking randomly for money.

While I was a student over the span of 5 years I had spent to the mechanic more than what I had paid the dealer for my 10 yo used car. Without the help of my parents I am not sure how I would be able to spit enough money to pay all of these bills.

So yes paying 400 per month for 7 years with high interest is a better deal that getting a car that you can afford with cash.
Couldn't say for sure, I've noticed similar. I feel like I have to be overlooking something... even though I may appear to be in the same wasteful-spending boat.

Redundancy is an easy way to spend a ton of cash poorly, but if done well I recommend it for anyone!

The virtualization aspect for example, that's just a bullet-point for how I use KVM and some of the fancier gear to prove out certain implementations... then automate using them. Lately, SR-IOV.

I think it's possible. I existed in that system and am at times still bound to it when dealing with the VA. I think my attitude is more, "go fix the system you already have to experiment with."
Not just that, but the towns where every house is an AirBNB or rental won’t even have voices that care to speak about the problems until it’s too late.
I am skeptical (but willing to be proven wrong) about EVs. I am really interested to see long term reliability and safety reports.

FYI. I sold my ICE car this year and have not replaced it, yet. The constant semi-lockdowns and decent public transport where I live made car ownership pointless for me at this time.
In most of the Europe the biggest use of energy for family will be heating except summer. In the future probably also charging electric car. This kind of power demand you need mostly at night when sleeping - during the day you are probsbly in the office.

Transmitting power also consumes energy - you cannot have a electric wire across pacific to transmit power from US to EU without transformers - electric power line is not a fiber optic that transmit just signal.

I also doubt we have enough rare earth minerals to make all those magnets for wind turbine and and electric car enough for whole planet. Remember also you have to decomission those windturbine after some years which is expensive
People aren't creative and inventive in Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Italy, the UK, Ireland, etc.?
A badge of honor and respect is also known as a “signal.” Not that signaling is inherently bad, quite the opposite, signaling is essential. But it would be great if we could discover cheaper and more accessible ways to signal.

PS: I don’t think a CS degree is just signaling, but it could be improved an order of magnitude if the incentives of the professors and the institutions were aligned with teaching people marketable skills.
It's not just a civility burden, it's a factual burden.

If somebody came onto HN posting obviously dumb stuff about how American people feel and think, they'd be downvoted, because everyone can see the obvious falsehood.

But when it's Chinese, majority vote of Americans decides the truth! They will tell you the real deal on how things work inside China. And if someone calls them morons, we have you to come in and keep things civil.
> The research question here is "How do organizations fulfill their legal requirements due to the GDPR and CCPA?" and has nothing to do with individuals.

Where your position falls apart is that they sent emails to private individuals. Although I'm employed, I received the email to my personal address regarding a not-for-profit, zero-revenue hobby website I maintain. Another story here on HN was from them sending the letter to a blogger.

They didn't contact people in the "eventually it will end up on the desk of a human lawyer at a Fortune 500 company" sense, but in the "this came to my personal computer and was addressed to me individually" way.

Frankly, I don't care what their stated purpose was here: the reality is that they directly contacted a whole awful lot of people about their hobbies.
I very much doubt that if someone could setup another service named Facebook, they could compete with them or do much beyond annoy customers and phish.
Did I only load half the article due to privacy extensions, or was this article just a shill for their service? I don’t think there’s any useful information i here except “here is a product that you can send to users so they can fill out a form. And we will do some NlP to help your customer success.”

Not very interesting. To the OP/authors - I don’t mind self-promotion, but you should strive to deliver a good amount of useful information before pitching. And that information should be useful and valid even if I don’t sign up for your product.
You only consider USA military to be a "failed system" because you don't realize its actual purpose. One might imagine that it's about security... which, sure, total failure on that front. The actual purpose, as indicated above, is to transfer resources from USA citizens to armaments manufacturers, a purpose that is accomplished to greater degrees every year. Taking good care of the troops would detract from the goal, which is why that doesn't happen.
No doubt the whole eVTOL/AAM space will lead to positive and long lasting developments for aviation, but the amount of money chasing specifically the air taxi/uam space (Joby, Lilium, Archer, Volocopter, etc.) is staggering given how utterly nonsensical the business plans and projections are.

Right now everyone is in a race to certify. I guarantee that will be the easy part. The whole list of issues this community is not thinking through and addressing dwarfs those that they are. Energy density is just the start.

For instance: Power requirements for these business models at scale will require a sudden turnaround and mass embrace of nuclear. Infrastructure build will require government investment and widespread use of eminent domain. City laws and ordinances allowing for uam flight need to be rewritten. I could go on…

Btw I am in the industry.
I grew up in California. You could see when Prop 13 capped property taxes in things like schools or libraries: everything built before it was nice but falling apart, everything built after it was designed to be cheap to build. They could try to bridge the gap with bonds but that was unreliable.
Occasionally, I'll use an old piece of test equipment at work that has GPIB. I'll pull up the manual for commands and there will be BASIC code examples.

The newest boxes from Keysight (formerly Agilent formerly HP) that run Windows use C# for macros. But you really don't need to use it if you have the box networked and send SCPI commands to it.
I think the point is that it isn't a "myth" so much as an extremely simplified model that can still be very informative and useful.
