I'm sorry but you don't know me, I've seen lots of BTC/ETH maxis who adopted the term early and continue to use the term to describe their efforts (and it's really not hard to find them doing this on HN and Twitter either) so if you disagree with their assertions and think they're misinformed I suggest you take that up with them and not me.

Sign up for stock availability at the major resellers and act fast. If you miss a batch, you will likely need to set up the notification again (at least for Adafruit and Sparkfun).

I’ve been buying for a class I’ll teach in the Spring since it’ll be impractical for students to buy their own. I’m currently picking up 1-3 per week (with a little help from some friends) Spending a lot more on shipping with per customer limits, but better than what the scalpers are charging.

Thepihut is also a good suggestion, though shipping a few of these from UK to US has been taken 3-4 weeks for me.
You'd be surprised how otherwise perfectly rational people look at irrelevant stuff (furniture, interior design) and miss important things (floor plans; neighbors; practical aspects like storage space, number and position of bathrooms, etc)
That's a corollary: Don't have kids. They're like shooting your life in the foot with a howitzer. Also, don't get married; the author says they got lucky, but we'll have to see the long term before you can make that conclusion. In fact, just stay away from other people. They are an emotional and financial liability.

You're clearly really into this planet destroying ponzi scheme. You keep referring to something as a "sale". You have no way to compare the current price to the future price. Perhaps you portfolio is still tulip/beanie baby heavy too.

Bitcoin last year required something in the region of 134TWhs to maintain, for 4 transaction per second (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29769892). Some nuclear pose stations generate over that in 20 years of production. The world is burning, but so long as you get more people to join the ponzi scheme, who cares, right, it's a "sale".

> I still find utility in Google Maps and GMail.

Give it time... There are a lot of people feeling that dread about “gmail” now. Have you seen the recent threads about GSuite Legacy? Small businesses and families suddenly need to cough up hundreds of dollars per year or figure out how to migrate away from a product that originally marketed itself as free forever.
Four incidents does seem like a really small number to be finding much significance. I know the overall N is large, but don't you need sample size large enough for the incident count to be large(ish) as well?

Obviously, at this point we're seeing very clear divergence in both hospitalizations and deaths wherever we track vaccinated vs. non-vaccinated people (e.g., NYC and more recently the CDC), but I'm surprised how small the relevant case numbers are in that study.
Don't you think a tablet provides a rather limited interface for 3d modeling ?
C array access is (not totally accurate) replaceable with pointer arithmetic and dereferencing. So array[-1] is the same as *(array - 1). So long as your program controls that bit of memory, it is a safe operation (you won't be accessing memory outside of whatever the OS/runtime allocated to your process). For instance, if you have this struct definition:

typedef struct {
int a;
int b[10];
} foo;

Then the following will (likely) work:

foo f;
f.a = -1;
printf("%d\n", f.b[-1]); // => -1

In fact, the following also works:

f.b[0] = 10;
printf("%d\n",(&(f.a))[1]); // => 10

C is very flexible in allowing you to do what you want with addresses (once obtained). But yes, if you don't control it then it is likely going to be garbage data.
Since bitcoin has no RRP, what is the context in which a retail "sale" makes sense?

Or as I have learnt the haaaard way - amateurs win at [insert sport] tennis by not making unforced errors i.e. just return the ball and make sure your serve is not out... most of the time and you are good. Pros win by hitting aces and shots.

At most games in life we are amateurs - buying cars, buying/renting houses, getting jobs since we don't do those things frequently enough to get good at them and learn all the tricks and traps. We can try to get a great deal on a car but that is near impossible - try and avoid the usual traps and you are doing good enough.

Buying "too much" house is one of those traps. Buying a house that needs too much work is another. Buying a house with an expensive amenity (e.g. swimming pool or too big of a garage or lawn) is another.
You have to quote your variable expansion.

Also using echo is bad form, instead try

Yes. Look at movement in Belarus (next to the Baltic states). This is the most threatening it’s been for 30 years.
> Be mad about the data collected, not about the concept of a/b testing.

What does this sentence mean? A/B testing fundamentally requires data collection, so I don't understand how to be mad about the data collected but not A/B testing.
So let’s say we start with computing the square roots to X digits of precision after the decimal point. Then we add up lower and upper bounds, giving us intervals for the sums over the two lists. If those intervals overlap we have to go back and compute e.g. 2X digits of precision, and so on. But in most cases we’d be done after the first iteration.

Seems to me that would be polynomial in the average case. The worst case could of course be really bad. But if you’re telling me you know for sure that it’s exponential, then you must know something about the existence of lists with very close sums. As I understood the OP we don’t know if such lists exist.

So average time complexity is polynomial and worst case is unknown.

EDIT: Doesn’t https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S00200... show that this algorithm is in fact polynomial?
There's still time. In a country full of "Did you take x drug?

> Where in here is it clearly stated which fields are returned? In the original SQL it's right up front but here it's buried into the "aggregate" function, and I'm not clear that this isn't an oversight.

It's in the aggregate portion, like you said. Other example queries have a select portion. Why does it matter that it's not in the leading position like SQL?

> Does this mean that the database must scan all records of the employee table in order to return the result before moving to the next step in the query? Must I index all fields? If not, how does a query planner prepare for this scenario?

No, they are just describing how the statement is supposed to be interpreted by a human. I think you can basically just shuffle all the filter statements to the end and keep it logically equivalent.

This is a proposal for a "transpiles to SQL" language. So long as that transpliation is predictable, you cannot run into the sort of issues you are describing.

The message from governments and public health officials have morphed constantly over the past 2 years. I know that dynamic situations require a dynamic response and I also know that people are demanding certainty from officials in an uncertain situation so I don’t really blame anyone. But with that said and since you asked:

- March 2020: Flatten the curve, stay-home orders until we can get enough PPE to medical staff. Don’t worry about masks doctors need them and y’all wear them wrong probably.

- April 2020: Keep hunkering down as we get contact tracing and those contract tracing apps

- May 2020: Lol jk masks work you should all wear masks. Once there is a vaccine we can go back to normal.

- Summer 2020: lots of hedging, students are probably doing fine with remote. Kids like social media anyway so they will be alright

Fall 2020: The curve was flat all summer but not flat enough and now it’s going up again. Lockdown!

Winter 21: Vaccines are here! Ticket to normality!

Spring 21: seriously we promise the vaccines are so good, cdc even said so. Mask off. Here comes herd immunity

Summer 21: actually jk. Vaccines are good but delta! Mask on, Future.

Fall 21: Omicron time! Back to fear, and maybe a booster? We will see the CDC can’t decide.

Winter 21: Oh yeah, should have gotten that booster. Also the cloth masks don’t really work, gotta wear N95! But it’s fine, this variant will make the disease endemic

Now: Endemic doesn’t mean safe dude, get your mask on, live in fear. We might need to close schools again.

Oh you are right, nothing has changed really between today and two years ago, except for all the things they said between those two points!
It was worse. They abused their emergency security system to do that.
To some extent you are right, however as POSIX actually won the server room it will stay around for decades to come, even when it is not fully exposed as you mention.
literally every microsoft page does this, too. hold down the back button and you can see that you need to go back 2 hops. probably because you load the website and then it redirects to the local translation. annoying but not the end of the world.
Depending on what your performance target is, you might do without adapters. Low speed USB can be bitbanged even with 8-bit attiny. RP2040 with PIO can run DVI, 720p@30Hz (though you do need to overclock the chip heavily). I don't know how to implement Ethernet with digital logic (it uses pulse amplitude modulation) but bandwidth-wise it's not too challenging. Gigabit signals to PHY are 125MHz using RGMII. I think 100Mbit Ethernet would use 25MHz but I'm not actually sure. All doable using commodity microcontrollers without an FPGA.

I could see a long road to a dystopia where these legacy protocols are deprecated and they push out devices that only speak new protocols that won't let unapproved devices talk.. but I'm not that pessimistic. I can't see the copyright mafia chasing things down so far, and they'd rail up against all the industrial users.
>"OOP is, in practice used as a hammer for EVERY job"

It is NOT. If you're talking dumb developers it is their problem.

Golang is strictly corporate language with very defined goals and using it it as a hammer is just as dumb. Along with Golang Google using other languages just fine. For example they have huge pile of C++ which supports many paradigms, OOP including.

I do not understand these holy wars where everyone has to adopt "THE ONLY TRUE style, practice, language etc". I think this is really near sighted.

I am not using Rust at all so can say little how good it is "hammer wise"
It won’t make it better - it makes it more cost efficient to throw random numbers at a random number optimizer to increase the number of times they can report someone clicked or saw an ad. That’s it, end of story.

The value ad is that the engineering community that they employ has a job, the stock stays higher because of their perceived value add to the tech, and the push to control data continues unburdened by something as trivial as a lack of compute power. Hooray. Progress.
Getting ahead is the most important thing in life!
As medical workers, there failure to be replaced could mean an emergency room has to shut down. (or can't provide radiology services, so no x rays for broken legs)

Its my understanding that as a doctor or nurse, you decide that after working 60 hours that week you want to just quit on the spot and try to find a different job due to being overworked you effectively cannot without severe legal consequences ( I dont THINK they can get jail time but they could lose their medical license for sure) unless someone is present to relieve you.

I dont AGREE with any of that, but there is some thread of rationale there.
We seem to be working on similar projects (not competing though)

I did the same research, before bunny stream was offered.
i had to set up my own encoding to make it viable, the others are just so expensive (it really adds up), so when bunny stream was launched, it was just a no brainer, storage, streaming, cdn and encoding all in one, plus they are such a great team already.

Didnt know about your #5. But looking at it quickly, it looks too good to be true.

there is '5cent cdn' as well, they offer free encoding as well.

good luck with your project!

>How are NFTs not a more decentralized version of digital goods that already exist?

I don't think they are. In practice they also suffer from (d) because the large majority of NFTs appear to be traded exclusively on Opensea. I don't expect this to change at all because any system like this requires some kind of centralized authority to enforce initial ownership of the art before it's placed on the chain, otherwise you get people selling stolen art. Put another way: there is no value to anyone in having alternate trading platforms for these goods, all value is derived from being verified by a particular platform and baked into that platform. It's the same for video game goods, e.g. there is no value in trading a Fortnite dance outside of Fortnite.
But this is the reason we have randomized trials. Because the human body is complicated and you can't say with certainty that those "other" deaths were not related to the vaccine in most cases.

I'm happily vaccinated, but after seeing these results (thank you for the link), it's not clear to me why the vaccine is recommended for anyone under 65 if they're healthy given the limited benefit and large increase in adverse reactions.
Employment is fundamentally different from investing, because while all dollars are interchangeable and easily reallocated, almost nothing about a person is.
I could certainly easily tell the difference between the first iteration of Coke Zero and regular Coke but the new formula (I just googled and it looks like they changed it last year https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/14/business/coke-zero-change...) is very similar to regular Coke.

I'm someone who likes good food and can usually identify most of the spices and ingredients in a meal by taste and smell, but for whatever reason, to me, Coke Zero is almost identical to the real deal.

I'm a bit surprised by the reaction here because I had incidentally just talked about it with some co-workers the other day and we were all on the same page about the minimal taste difference.

All-cause deaths is more important metric than Covid deaths. I'm not sure why it should be ok to trade deaths of one form for another and pretend like we've done something obviously positive.
Great point!

Exactly.

However, the support person should have been more explicit that the OT (original tweeterer ?) is sharing addresses and may want to hide that. The way support person's tweet was phrased is what gave the pitchfork people an opportunity. A perfect example of how not to communicate.

Unfortunately that also distracts from the intent of the OT's post.
Exactly. Hospitals can't work like businesses or charities, they're a critical service that require federal, state, and local taxes to offset the cost of keeping communities healthy.

It's called promoting the general welfare and it's one of the primary roles of governments. Clearly private institutions are failing.
If there's no immediate danger in Germany and the government is stable, why do they need to be there? Why not send them to Afghanistan where there is a bunch of work to be done?

Hey, JFK and 9/11 at least have somewhat limited numbers of actors (the US government). COVID is at flat earth and global warming denial levels of bonkers. You have to believe that all the major governments and health organizations in the world has decided to go in on a conspiracy to vaccinate people for... reasons... terrible reasons. Political reasons... Because... reasons...

The biggest issue I have with these sorts of conspiracies is whenever you try and scratch at the "why" you'll get a bunch of conflicting answers that are completely unsatisfactory. They are trying to kill off half the population. They are trying to install mind control agents. They are trying to persecute more libertarian minded people by targeting those that refuse to vax. They are trying to make money for the vaccine producing companies.

None of these reasons make any sense for ALL the major health organizations and governments to go along with.

They also fall apart really quickly. One of the conspiracies is that "fauci is making a bunch of money in stocks from his investments in Pfizer and the like". yet, you look at Fauci's financial statements and you see he's invested pretty much entirely into mutual funds and ETFs (poorly I might add). [1] His finances are public record.

> I believe a higher percentage of ICU beds are occupied nationally than at any point in the pandemic

According to the data you linked:

COVID ICU Beds Occupied:

January 17-23, 2022 : 26,236
January 4-10, 2021 : 29,175

So there were 2,939 (or ~11%) more beds occupied due to COVID about a year ago.
I believe the concern is about growth. If a majority of people switched to EV the grid would be overwhelmed. [1] It is estimated that by 2030 about $125 billion would be required to upgrade the power infrastructure. That is based on just one study there are probably better ones.

Questioning vaccine mandates and the alleged efficacy of rushed out vaccines does not in any way equate to being an anti-vaxxer. What would be more irrational would be the blind questioning of authorities without a particularly convincing track record.
Inherent value is real. Market value of the thing is dependent on a million things but an axe has inherent value in the same way a feeble banknote hasn’t.

The steak has calories and nutrients, regardless of who holds it (until it goes bad). Those are inherently valuable to any human being.

Your secondary point is about the law of diminishing returns, it’s a non-sequitur.

Water is inherently valuable for obvious reasons. Diamonds have inherent value in their hardness although that has little to do with their market value, that isn’t based on inherent value.

The magazine isn't inherently valuable. The information in it could be if one can decipher it. But additional copies of information don't make new information, so one or a hundred magazines, it makes no difference in inherent value.
the really messed up thing is that the judge can lift it, and then any attempt to investigate/address this issue will be dismissed sense the matter is "now moot".
