After years, this is what I’ve come to.

Conflating an artist with their art is always a mistake.

Great works of art transcend the artist, and frankly, the artist usually doesn’t understand the work any better than anyone else.

If you ask a writer or painter or musician … especially musicians/lyricists what their work is about you will always get a disappointing answer, if the piece is any good.

They don’t know what it is, where it came from, they just manifested it.

While it's part of the US? Yes. If it were independent? Things get a lot iffier. Enough "investment" money can corrupt small governments a lot more readily than a small government in a big one, and a full takeover may be unnecessary for quite some time.

This is, of course, orthogonal to the problem of whether it ought have such independence in an abstract, principled sense of things.

The good news would be that they would no longer be subject to the Jones Act and could freely trade with the US mainland using normal boats like everyone else does.

The 90s emu scene was full of soap-opera-tier drama. Mr. Foo was mean to Barbazzz one time in IRC, so Barbazzz takes down the beta of his extremely promising Casio Loopy emulator and cancels any future emulation projects. In retaliation, Mr. Foo disbands his emu group, known throughout the web as a great emulation resource, with the stated reason being to avoid well-poisoning by lamers like Barbazzz. That sort of thing. Look up what happened to Damaged Cybernetics and VSMC.

The emu scene still has lots of drama, but it's different and I won't get into why on Hackernews.

EDIT: In fact Damaged Cybernetics, which was indeed the group to go to for emulation news and information back in the day, was disbanded because of the backlash against its leader, who had the friendly nick "MindRape". MindRape stole and released the source code to... NESticle, leading to Sardu's withdrawal from the scene and the lack of a SNESticle we can all enjoy.

As I said elsewhere, he just replaced one superstition with another superstition.

You are correct that the meaning of that passage is to critique hypocrisy, but in doing so, the nugget of actually valid advice that was accidentally embedded inside a superstition, was extirpated.

Jews 2000 ago, did not have notions of sanitation. They did not have germ theory. They happened to stumble upon a healthy practice and superstitions were built around that practice. They never had statistics or the scientific method to determine the effect of washing hands. Someone simply did so, managed to avoid some disease, then told others that by doing so managed to stay in God's grace. And so, a healthy practice became a ritual. Time passed and the origin of the ritual was forgotten. Jesus comes, and rightfully tells everyone that said ritual is irrelevant for God. Instead here is a bunch of other different superstitions.
This has to be one of the best comments I’ve read on HN.
You're involuntarily confirming my negative criticism of Bayesianism by suggesting Bayesian methods could tell us whether there is life on Mars. Sometimes you really need to gather more information and/or develop an analytic model. It seems that a lot of Bayesianism consists of wishful thinking and trying to take shortcuts (e.g. trying to avoid randomized controlled trials for new drugs).

I second the GVPR praise. Pretty powerful.
While I applaud what this article is trying to do, the reality of it is that unless you're spending a large amount of time and money to remain anonymous, some portion of your information gets leaked online eventually and easily. It is a constant never-ending effort leading to (but not ending with) not having Amazon packages come to your house in your true name, registering your mortgage, utilities, and internet in other name(s) or businesses (which is no simple feat in itself), and risking all that work getting lost because you slipped once and updated your credit card address.

The data removal services/sites may give temporary relief once, but the next time something flags an upload or update again you're right back to where you started. Michael Bazzell [1] has deep knowledge of what it takes and has published books on it, and it gets harder and more disrupting as time goes on, to where unless you're hiding from a known target or stalker it is almost not worth it.

Sandman stands in my mind. Though, most folks don't think of those as super hero.

I think most of that is definitionally, though. If you accept that super hero comics are bad, you probably consider any good ones to not be super hero.

Edit: that said, Gaiman's Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader is undeniably a super hero comic. Complete with an amazing call out to Goodnight Moon.

Edit2: Perez's Wonder Woman set is highly regarded, I think. In many ways more feminist than current works, from my memory.
I wouldn't say they are traditionally neglected, precisely. CI/CD systems are often treated as a place where devs hold infinite power with developer convenience prioritized above all else. Developers, who are generally not security experts, often expect to wholly own their build and deployment processes.

I've seen few things get engineer pushback quite like trying to tell engineers that they need to rework how they build and deploy because someone outside their team said so. It's just dev, not production, so why should they be so paranoid about it? Sheesh, stop screwing up their perfectly good workflows...

>I, an anonymous actor beholden to no authority nor regulation, can manipulate Bitcoin

Yes yes we already agreed, I think, that bitcoin can be manipulated. I admitted this right off the bat.

>It's fun and intellectually pointed to say this is just a _version_ of the kind of "manipulation" performed by the Fed against the dollar but it's transparently and categorically a different thing. It's an obviously specious argument and it diminishes whomever makes it.

So it diminishes no one, because I never said the manipulation performed by the fed was the same 'version' or 'kind' of manipulation -- whatever that means. Are you just kind of arguing with yourself at this point?

Not a comic, but I had this reaction to Heinlein's "Starship Troopers". When I read it as a teenager, I was blown away by the subtle and brilliant satire. When I read it again as an adult and realized he was actually just a fascist, it was deflating.
Huh. I'm pretty sure that at least some BASIC dialects I used did not have concatenation, but you seem to be correct that in general they did. This intrigued me enough to go dig through nested "from old machine" directories until I found some BASIC (I'm going to guess that I have not written any BASIC since about 1992) and you're correct that BASIC from the era which didn't live on cassette tape and thus I still own does have concatenating + operators in it.

I stand corrected.
>> then I don't see why the supply of those jobs would change

Are you not underestimating just how radical a change UBI would be? You’re going to radically change which jobs are viable.

For example, if you pay every teacher UBI, is it a stretch to imagine more than half decide not to go into work tomorrow? It’s not just a case of paying teachers more when they can afford to say no to your job. You’re talking about completely changing the role.

There’s going to be zero room for unruly kids in that classroom. Suddenly the teacher flips from being one of the least powerful professions to being up there with doctors and lawyers (im aware in some societies this is already the case but not in the US).

> Considering how badly his privacy was violated during the late 90's, it's not even a little surprising that he never released it.

It seems people never learn: just look at the effort to find who Satoshy or _why_ are. This is not respectful: they gave you something cool and asked to be left alone. Their work is theirs and they generously shared it with you. Why do they believe they are owed anything else? Why can't some people take "please stop" for a response? Why do they keep trying their best to alienate the very people who accomplished miracles way beyond their capabilities?

It seems self destructive in any way I take it, and driven only by spite/jealousy/beggar-chooser spirit.

I'm not sure I'd be okay with naming and shaming a dead guy that can't defend himself. Seems wrong somehow.

Even the CEO of Pfizer recently stated 1 or 2 shots "offer very limited protection, if any" (my emphasis), whilst saying the booster offers good protection. But the booster is the same substance... the formulation hasn't changed. He's literally saying 1 shot of it does nothing, 2 shots of it does nothing, but 3 shots of it is magically great. (And I still remember a time when "fully vaccinated" meant you were done at two, and anyone saying there'd be more was a conspiracy theorist.)

Meanwhile in Queensland which had suffered 29 deaths since the beginning of the pandemic, the health minister just announced that 7 more people died overnight, and they were all vaccinated - but not "boosted". Ie, two shots of, as the Pfizer CEO put it, a vaccine of "limited effectiveness, if any". So there we have it, two shots and not three and you're dead, apparently. Who's clogging up the ICU's there?

And have a look out of the proverbial window. Almost everywhere there's more cases, more hospitalisations and more deaths. That is, if the vaccines worked: they'd work.

But they haven't, and don't. In many places we're in a worse position than before we had them.

That is, they're failures.

Meanwhile things that do actually work, and even have their mechanisms of action completely understood underlying why they work, are sidelined, suppressed or even banned.

If indeed in Ireland you have "95% vaccination", why do you have any cases, hospitalisations or deaths? If it doesn't work at 95% take-up, when does it work? How can the R-value even do anything remotely ICU-clogging with a single digit percentage? On the surface, it doesn't add up.

But a little deeper, and it maybe begins to... because when you're counting "vaccinated" people, be sure not to mix up who is "vaccinated" and who isn't, according to the latest shift in the goal posts. In some places for example, if you have been "fully vaccinated" but not had a third shot, you're considered "unvaccinated" again, and will die in that category. Further, were you "fully vaccinated", by whatever definition, but have only been so for 14 days, and die, in some places indeed you'll also die considered "unvaccinated".

Or to put it another way, how many of the people dying and clogging ICU's never had any shot at all, and how many did?

And why?

I understand the rotation part and some uses, but what's the intuitive explanation for why it's done this way? Convention?

It's so not a superhero comic that DC actually came up with a new imprint for it and Hellblazer. It was, very briefly, a Moore-style sendup of superhero comics ("sleep, and if you wish, you may dream of the city of focative mirrors"), but shed that almost immediately when Gaiman got his footing.

But like, I stopped reading superhero comics pretty quickly (I got to comics late, with Punisher [gag] and X-Men, and switched within like a year to the Vertigo/Cerebus/Comix stuff). So for all I know, there's a long "Aquaman" arc where he subtextually confronts misogyny or contemplates Rawlsianism.

"Wonder Woman" is a good example! Thanks!
I agree. Matrix multiplication can pretty succinctly be defined in terms of the dot product between the row and column of the inputs at the corresponding spot in the output. When I first learned I already new a little about the properties of dot products so it made the “magical” properties of matrix multiplication more understandable. Maybe not the way a mathematician would define it — they might look at dot products as a special case of matrix multiplication thus teach the latter first — but it was at least intuitive.
I live in London, and you can tell the distance from London by how willing people are to give you eye contact or talk. I remember the sheer shock first time I traveled to Isle of Wight. First people had noticeably more open body language as we got further out, and once we got onto the train after the ferry over a stranger spoke to us.

It felt bizarre.

Now if you're travelling towards another city in the UK chances are you won't get nearly as dramatic an effect.

Dense urban areas tends to have people withdrawing into a cocoon even many places where people are usually friendlier.

I love FreeBSD but to me it doesn’t sound like a great fit for OP. It sounds like OP wants something that will work out of the box, and in my experience FreeBSD on the desktop is harder to setup and usually requires some fussing, especially if you need WiFi or have other exotic devices. The docs are fantastic, but because it’s less popular as a desktop operating system, it’s harder to google for solutions to problems.
