I don't find it especially outrageous, but I guess it may be for many.

Women were actually treated slightly better through human history than men, due to them having inherent value coming from higher investment in children - pregnancy.

There is no reason for society scale sex discrimination, because its benefits don't carry over through inheritance (for all your son benefits, your daughter loses).

The real purpose of the Boeing XB-37 is to keep a nuke in orbit at all times.
I didn’t flip flop on anything my comments are quite consistent here.

> it doesn't allow electric convectors back in new buildings.

What part do you think bans electric heating? It’s simply not there in RE2012 or RE2020, hell people are actively talking about how RE2020 is switching to electricity from gas in new construction. I can’t prove a negative here, if you think something is banned you’re going to have to show where it’s banned.

The wider context is France is primarily on electric heating be that ultra efficient ground source heat pumps or more traditional regular heat pumps. So yes they changed the regulations recently RE2012 after achieving the desired effect and are now changing them again in RE2020.

PS: This comes back to a winder context the legacy of past subsidies don’t go away. When someone builds a wind farm or nuclear reactor with government backing even just for R&D costs and thus ends up with lower payments those lower payments stick around. Just as someone being given a house avoids mortgage payments for the next 30 years.
Short answer: you don't, Google doesn't like them. If you have a huge amount of players, you may be able to get in contact. TETR.IO uses AdinPlay, which does use the same Google network, but without being immediately thrown out of the network
As long as you don't try the most obvious approach, that is just buying the sim straight from one of the official operators, the thing is quite simple.

In Europe, esp eastern europe, like Bulgaria, there's a vast market of stolen phones, stolen or resold sims. You'll have to ditch them after several weeks of course. But it is not in any way impossible.

I'd guess it's the same in Americas.

It's been several years since I worked at an MVNO, so I can't say much about how do you get number capacity nowadays, but back then that was literally the least problem imaginable.

Yes. Treatments are simply implementations of science technology at a particular time.

To get some perspective on iterations of treatment, read this account of the work of August Bier.

He pioneered spinal anesthesia, something used all of the time today for epidurals during childbirth.

His experimental treatments he both performed and had performed on him by his assistant will, at the very least, raise your eyebrows.

You are, of course, accusing me of being totally insane after a reasonable investigation of the Bible including significant familiarity with the texts themselves as well as the theological and exegetical arguments for non-contradiction?

If not, maybe try it. :) IMO there are reasonable and even compelling arguments about why the Bible is both inerrant and trustworthy.

I spent five years in seminary and believe, after significant investigation, that the Bible is utterly true.
If my webpage loading makes ten database calls, and each database call takes 45 milliseconds, my webpages takes 300 milliseconds longer to load than if each call only took 15 milliseconds. 0.3 seconds across each page load, especially if the rest of the call is less than a second, can significantly improve the usability of a website and increase user retention. This applies for any user facing website whether its a social media platform, an online shop, or just a blog.

Obviously there are other improvements that can be made too, like batching db requests or in-memory caching, but this is one option.

Years ago I found the video by Dr. Robert Sapolsky[1] to be a good introduction to the topic of depression. I also suffered a major depression of my own about six years ago. It was a horrible time in my life.

Thank you for this, it gave me a much-needed smile.
This is not an outrageous thought in the scheme of HN or the tech sphere though. I’d say this is the accepted norm and people outside of this are the ones with outrageous thoughts.
This seems like a rather uncharitable take.

Cray has their own Fortran compiler, so it's quite possible that Bill is forbidden from contributing to other Fortran compilers due to IP issues.

And as you can see from the thread, he's caught in the middle, passing messages between a customer who wants this issue fixed and a team that doesn't want to fix it. That's not a fun place to be - you basically get yelled at by both sides.
The money would trickle up then to things in highest demand!

But I didn't mean giving people cash to spend on random goods. It would have to be a system that prevents them from using it on personal projects and probably something organized more like kickstarter, where projects have funding goals and you have to allocate a portion of your budget to them.

I'd imagine type 1 diabetics would allocate a large portion of their funds to cheaper insulin alternatives. Software engineers to open source projects that they depend on.
This is correct. All the logs shown there are from XNU. The author confused verifying the root filesystem seal hash and the auxiliary kernelcache (containing kexts), which is what iBoot2 does, with the processes of validating the APFS snapshot and metadata against that hash and loading dexts, which is what the kernel and other parts of macOS do.

FWIW, you don't get iBoot logs even if you set up a serial console on M1s; these days it seems Apple only log over their "dockchannel" feature in their proprietary USB debug protocol, and we haven't figured out how that works yet. Even if you were to get them, on retail builds the logs are just message hashes, not readable text.

(I tried pointing this out in a comment to the article, but I guess it must be caught in some moderation queue)
I generally agree with this, but kept getting hung up on two things: 1) scientists have shown rather interesting brain activity in different regions during prayer, and 2) every society, seemingly unconnected from each other, has something akin to religion.

If it were just a power grab thousand years ago, how or why did others around the world get the same idea?
I'm surprised nobody's linked to the recent time this was on HN [1].

Having tried TMS pretty extensively, I do not think this will help me, but I am hopeful that it might prove useful for others.

I believe it’s utterly, infallibly, and inerrantly true.

I haven’t been able to find a single contradiction that hasn’t been answered by a cogent explanation that includes the surrounding context, intertext references and ties to larger overarching themes. And believe me, I love and enjoy peering deeply into those holes.

Perhaps the beauty is that those 66 books written over centuries tell a continuous and noncontradicting story.

This isn’t to say that there aren’t difficult sections of scripture. There are things that come off as quotes that are actually paraphrases. There are different point of views between the gospels that insist 1 person was there when 2 people were in another account of the same situation. These are easily remedied when you consider the focus and theme of the book and the clear intentions of the author.

The authors are indeed flawed (as humans, standing in the pages of history), but they write with the inspiration of God himself and make no error in recording their account.

Happy to help with other concerns.
WSL is hot garbage and shares most of the problems cygwin has of the impedance mismatch between the hosted programs being shunted off into their own badly implemented filesystem, and that of the host.
It’s the old hard-men/easy times trope again
Yeah I had to re-read OPs request a couple times. He's definitely asking where he can blog where the readership is already there (I.e. Not starting from scratch, with his own domain.)

This just isn't a thing... You build the great content and naturally over time the readership follows. It's like asking to be an influencer without putting in the effort.

Personally it won't be my readership with headlines like "I did X by doing Y", "Best programming languages of 202X", "Why X is better than Y" blah blah blah. The internet is already polluted with enough of that.
Yeah - seriously. What average person is going to do anything with $500? If you changed it to $50k then maybe you’d get somewhere.

I think many here overestimate the working ethic and adventurous spirit of the average American. From the people I’ve seen - they’ll just spend it on a fancy car.
In a world where animals are born with two heads, all sorts of fun diseases and deformities can happen, not to mention the whole range of mental issues a person can have.. is it not at least possible in your mind that sometimes there's a scenario that could cause a rift between the mind's software and the biological hardware?

These are your opinions without scientific method. We can be nice and call them hypotheses if you want

You claim to be a scientist, where's the science?
The linked post in TFA (which is essentially the OP's main argument in favor of web3) describes how the PC won, even though it was deficient in almost every dimension (worse CPU, worse memory, storage, etc) than existing mainframes, except for one dimension: price.

It then goes on to describe how blockchain is essentially the same thing - it's a "worse" database in every way, except one: it's not controlled by a single entity

The problem with this analogy is that price is a very very different and meaningful dimension than something like memory, or storage. making something cheaper is different than making something faster. Making something faster doesn't make it more accessible. The PC was more accessible than any other computer out there.

To compare price to "being controlled by a single entity" is totally wrong. Sure, the data is "accessible" in that it's public, but to use the technology is actually way more expensive than a traditional database. in fact, calling blockchain better while ignoring the price of storing data in the blockchain is like, exactly the opposite reason why the PC won!

I'm actually pro making data way more accessible, and I wonder if there's a web3 app out there that isn't some sort of financial instrument, and not about hoarding tokens in the hope that the price for them goes up, but actually about distributing data ownership in a way that people who didn't "get in early" can actually have a seat at the table.
Telling me again that I'm confused and telling me what I think and what I have to admit is rather presumptuous. You can make all your points just fine without that.

When I see `int *p = 2;`, "elegant" is not at all what comes to mind. "Bug" is what comes to mind.

Reminds me of my wood shop teacher. He showed me the right way to use hand tools, from the start, which pays off every time since that I use one. He also showed how to use power tools, and never failed to show us the missing finger on his hand - the price for taking shortcuts.

Whenever I use the table saw, I think of his finger stub and slow down, take my time, and do it right.
I empathize and relate.

Out of curiosity, were you actually handling each WebSocket connection using an independent PHP-FPM instance? If so (wow), how many concurrent connections did you manage to sustain at peak?

The only experience I've had using WebSockets with PHP is with using stream_socket_server() et al, and then multiplexing everything. (Then you just get handed the problem of restarting the server(s) to keep runaway GC in check...)

Edit: Have realized you aren't OP - but that's fine, I'm interested to hear war stories from multiple sources!
Well, when you are able to pull in labor, food and other supplies from the unaffected areas, it's a much different scenario.

In the event where the entire US goes into the blackout for 2 weeks, things will be different. Sure, maybe not an apocalyptic anarchy on the streets, but there will be unrest. Because most people don't have extensive food and water reserves at the place of their residence.

The larger point I was trying to make is that things will be getting exponentially worse as time goes on, and the point of no return will be hit eventually, if we are not able to address the issue quickly.
>People do research and write papers because they have to produce something measurable, not because the research they do is actually interesting or important.

Yes, so much of this. I think it's a direct consequence of your next point:

>I wanted to stay in academia so I couldn't take any risks.

That's how boring research gets prioritized.

"The company’s “Driver Out” pilot program has reached this pivotal moment after 1.5 years of effort to develop an L4 autonomous semi-truck with the level of redundancy, reliability, and consistency required to ensure its trucks can safely operate on public roads without the driver present."
I like this one, but on further inspection, why? A crash would certainly reveal the breach of the outer space treaty, so for risk minimization why not just launch and keep it in orbit? Fun to think about though.

Florida has been the media whipping boy for the entire pandemic, and yet here we are almost 2 years in and their infection rates are on par with the states that had the most restrictions.

Maybe that is instructive.
You're missing my point. What I'm saying is that, as things currently stand, all of the CPUs that Apple ships in products are functionally identical -- all of them share the same root of trust in ROM (afaik?), and it would take a significant effort for Apple to produce devices which differ from that specification.

> How? Most people will stick with defaults

By having an attacker deliver a system to a user with a custom root of trust -- which could mean anything from a state-sponsored attacker to an abusive partner.
The commenter above was certainly familiar with BFT. It wasn't the term as such that was gibberish.

But rather, the implication you were attempting to make that this is a "critical innovation" that provides value.
So many people are suspicious that he has so many cameras and footage. Maybe that’s because he’s a YouTuber and documenting a flight was his exact purpose.

There are many reasons to doubt this, but cameras aren’t one.

I've studied many of these indicators. Honestly, my favorite is to look at the new 52 week high list rather than trying to time reversals.
Many people have learned that making your own engine from scratch is a bad idea if you want to make a game. Your takeaway that game development itself is somehow dysfunctional doesn't necessarily follow from this.
10 years.. plus or minus 50?

10 years even for self driving is far fetched. 10 years for automation of 80% of jobs - hella far fetched.

We’re so disorganized that I doubt even 80% of people in the USA will be fully vaccinated in 10 years.
Combination of study (books and papers), and a few senior devs who were deeply knowledgeable and generous with their experience.
I wonder what the underlying mechanism is. With the prevalence of magnetic fields in everyday life, I wonder if these could be affecting people negatively from prolonged exposure at lower doses or frequency.
You might want to read up on the history of patriarchy and matriarchy. IIRC, they used to take charge alternatively until modern societies were formed.
I buy at any price as long as it is below what I calculated as fair price. However, I wait for it to bottom out if the trend is in the downward direction.

P.S. I have never regretted that I've missed out on 1% return as long as the return is in my range of 18+%
Oh man I skipped right over that. Terrible acting and he went for the cliche of getting stuck in a tree. If he's an experienced skydiver, surely he could have easily landed in a better spot.

Ah, for what it’s worth I looked for a while and didn’t see the download icon until you told me it was there, and I consider myself pretty good at picking up new user interfaces relative to your average user (e.g. became competent at Photoshop, Excel, etc. without handholding). It wasn’t intuitive that’s where the model weights would be stored so my brain never looked for a download icon.
My main reservation with the USPS becoming an ISP lies in its investigative powers and long history of politically driven, unconstitutional use of its police force. Namely suppressing socialist newsletters, pornography, and the like.

I'm guessing most Americans do not realize that going back more than a decade, the USPS has scanned and stored imagery and metadata for every single piece of mail that passes through their automated sorting machines.

Look closely at the images they email you of mail coming into your mailbox and you'll notice that very often, the scans reveal the nature of the documents inside even without messing with contrast/levels.
> This code is such a bad idea, I’ve intentionally introduced errors so it won’t even compile.

No problem, I just fixed the compiler to compile it!
If he did intentionally cut the engine, it might well be obvious from an inspection of the wreckage, so even more reason to go to the wreckage first.
Someone on youtube also pointed out that the day this occurred just so happens to be the 50th anniversary of DB Cooper's jump (November 24, 1971). For some reason I don't think that's a coincidence.
Interesting. I've mostly achieved this with BlitzMail (basically, one button to an open textbox that emails to yourself.) But I might check this out as well.
> Does a small plane pilot have any reason to open the door other than anticipating a jump?

Additional ventilation, especially in older planes (according to comments on the original article). So that's not a dead giveaway.
There's no WASM, it's mostly vanilla JS, together with the PixiJS library, which does 2d WebGL rendering. It has in-house libraries for text rendering, particle systems and the such. It's not super strong, but as long as you understand the limitations of the browser and try to adapt to the client's machine, you can get a very decent experience in. I hope this game sparks a bit of a trend of trying to make more genuine gaming experiences in the browser.
There aren't ad hominem attacks between individual posters, but individual topics/subjects are attacked all the time. The most frequent one I've seen is either some political group or companies/employers. If you go off of HN comments, FB, Amazon, Google, Apple, etc. are all "evil" and terrible companies run by insidious people that want to steal your information, take all your money, and turn us all into mindless slaves.
Have any details? I have a close friend with treatment resistant depression.

> On x86 PCs, you can usually download a BIOS image, but to flash it you need hardware tools on most computers.

Even then, it isn't always obvious how to write that image to flash. Sometimes you get lucky and the downloadable BIOS is a full image of the serial flash chip, but sometimes it's a delta update, or the flash chip contains other data (like configuration) which isn't part of the public image.

And even then, there's a ton of other updatable firmware in a typical PC that isn't part of a BIOS update -- most video adapters and network devices will have at least a small flash chip on board, which may not be repairable at all if it's damaged.
So I paid cash and lied about my name to the semi-shady courier company..
+1 this, and Devops can also be strongly traced back to Deming/Japan. Developers not caring to learn about ops or how their code functions in actual production are the ones who could care less about the long term impact or quality of their work.
The current Windows Defender is not the crappy old MS AV it used to be. It's gotten drastically better, and for normal home users I always recommend it over installing any 3rd party AV.

I'm a pentester and red teamer, and yes, bypassing Defender isn't all that hard, but neither are most 3rd party AVs, and Defender does not bring in all the instability and additional attack surface. Also I think it can take advantage of newer kernel APIs that non-MS AV can't.

NESARA/GESARA will change the world's governments forever before the end of January 2022.
1) You mean there is some sort of placebo effect at play? Does this differ from what you see when you meditate? I would assume it differs somewhat at least?

2) A lot of people need something external to believe in, it gives them a sense of purpose and an explanation for what are essentially random lucky/unlucky events. It also gives political power.
I almost completely agree with what you say, except to me it seems there are other forms of denial as well, and I don’t know how common they are compared to each other.

Yes, it is possible to play with the words like redefine ”belief”, but does not get us any closer to the truth.

Advertising is becoming a bigger share of the global economy. At the same time, the big players are making up a bigger share of the ad market.

It's not absurd to envision a world in the next 30 years in which advertising is >33% of global GDP - and maybe 2-5 companies control >50% of that market.
I’d say it’s less true than ever. We’ve managed to keep hiring engineers at an alarming rate. We put up ridiculous hiring processes because we have such a strong supply - and we have ridiculously high bars to entry. We have an over abundance of people with PhDs who are underemployed.

Tbh - I’d say we’re over educated even if it seems like the basic systems are not doing well. People are persevering anyway.

What’s not working? We don’t have much funding for academic research that allows people to get paid a reasonable wage that is comparable to private industry (or a change in profession). That’s the only issue and you really just have a capitalistic government to blame for that. If they actually paid well and gave good wages to researchers - we’d have lots more research done. Instead - the research is done for cheap/free by a bunch of shmucks doing their PhDs. The system is working in the capitalists favor.
