Every time I see people proposing to turn a former missile silo into a datacenter, I'd like to ask them to first do the budget on running a geographically diverse ring of singlemode fiber to the nearest mid size city...

Most of them are located in areas with little to no real telecommunications infrastructure.
My motivation is that I'm a scientist (before and after a long Silicon Valley career) who is annoyed by writers who write a bunch of novels where the villains are scientists corrupted by their lust for grant money. It's a trite complaint that is used in politics to claim 100% of scientists are biased, and plays a big role in the pushback against environmental and climate science.

Thanks for the upvote.
This (v13) variant was arrived from
altering normal chess step-by-step,
evolving from this(v1->v13) variant https://github.com/FrozenVoid/Game-Design-DB/blob/main/Board... which is fairly
mundane variant with extra pieces and
slightly larger board.

It would be interesting to know
at which point FrozenChess variants
become not-chess(or where chess
variants become board games).
What's the basis to believe that this is worse now than other times in history, or on average?

I strongly suspect there's a survival bias, where the past fraudulent and otherwise incorrect stuff is forgotten in favor of the great stuff. So it always feels like today is the worst time ever.
I generally didn’t agree with the article.

I have found that my Toyota Corolla Hybrid has about the right mix of smart and dumb (in terms of dials and knobs), and again in disagreement to the article .. I love my digital speedo! It’s high up on the dash and closer to the road, compared to my old space-wasting meters that were more difficult to read.

And the concern about the GPS in our cars invading our privacy.. this would really only concern a certain type of paranoid person. Most people don’t care. I certainly prefer the fully integrated GPS, that dims the radio and such whenever I need to do something. Removing it certainly won’t make any car fly off the shelves! Bad analysis.

What I've always thought would be the most intriguing way would be auction Armageddon.

So, in Armageddon, there are no draws (Well, technically they are, but a draw is a win for black).

In compensation, white gets extra time.

So AUCTION Armageddon would have the players bidding for how much less time they'd be willing to have to play as black.

I wouldn't say that everything has to be snobby - but there is a WORLD of difference between a $250 walmart "mountain bike" and something like a basic hardtail mountain bike you might be able to buy for $950-1200. I realize that maybe not everyone can afford that.

If a person has sufficient finances to allow for the purchase of a better bike, they will have a much more enjoyable overall experience of cycling on something like this, which although towards the lower end of the "real" bike spectrum, is still worlds better than a department store bike.

https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en_US/bikes/mountain-bikes/trai...

One of the reasons for the disdain towards walmart bikes among the cycling community is that many people have seen issues with them that are fundamental to safety - brakes that aren't set up right or don't work properly, wobbly wheels with loose spokes being sold as fit to be ridden, and so on. On the one hand you have questions about whether it's a good quality bike and will be enjoyable to ride, on the other hand there are often real and valid fundamental concerns about safety.
But difference shouldn't matter as long as both make sufficient progress and graduate. If that requires help outside of school to do, it's still a "more education" argument.

Performance/success in high school might help get into college, but even with that advantage, it's not an indicator of relative success later in life.

If attention and stability at home are the issue, then that problem needs to be fixed, but its not an economic one. Plenty of poor parents make the time for their kids, and plenty of wealthy parents ignore them.

Parents spending time with kids is tied more to family makeup, with financial security just being a symptom. Having a two-parent home is still the success factor that is in a league of its own, and is an obvious solution to literally doubling parental supply. Presuming a significant number of these poorer students are from single parent/ broken homes, that's the direct solution to "needs parental help at home", not money.
Where I am (NYC), I'd say renting is a smart choice.

Every time I check, I see that buying an apartment (or a house) would make me pay significantly more per month for the best 30-year loan than I pay to rent a comparable place. This is even before the property tax.

I suppose that the future appreciation is priced into the cist of a dwelling. Realty is universally seen as an investment vehicle.

If we for a brief moment imagine that it won't be such a great investment, and maybe would go down when adjusted to inflation, the idea to break your back to own it loses its luster.

Pycharm Keeps Crashing
https://pastebin.com/ADHtMRdr

this is crash.txt report.

My laptop is 1 TB HDD

8 GB RAM

No ssd

My general laptop usage is heavy.

1) I am using it alone, without using other programs-> pycharm still gets crashed

2) I use discord for streaming in study with me discord=> it still gets crashed.

No matter whatever I do, it keeps getting crashed.

What to do?

Is there good program to run python code?

There is vs code but it shows that terminal code which is annoying to me. Is there a way to remove those cmd codes there and just see the output.

Sublime text doesn't take cares of indentation I hate that. I tried learning python at first from ST and it killed my motivation for learning python. Pycharm is great but it keeps getting crashed. :(

I grew up in Naperville, IL, and one of my teachers told us that we were goners in a nuclear war because we were halfway between Fermilab and Argonne National Lab. We also had a missile silo in our town, although it had been decommissioned and turned into a park by the 90s. Probably would have caught a nuke, just in case.
There are studies on "natural immunity" and even how it compares with the vaccines. (here's an example: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v...)

A lot of the antivax folks cling to the idea of natural immunity being better somehow, but who in their right mind would choose immunity from getting infected with a virus that can make you very very sick (or dead) and cause you to infect many others around you if they could otherwise get immunity from a free vaccine with none of those problems?

It’s a philosophical evaluation, which underlies morality. On that meta level I am saying it is immoral to perform this kind of “morality” data collection. This does not get us to a better world. The nature of morality is not like making a table of logarithms that you then look up answers from.

>we could reduce wage inequality by $133 billion. Not too shabby!

There are about 130 million full time workers in the US. Multiplying that by $36K, which is obviously wrong, but I believe gives an order of magnitude at least, is nearly $5 trillion.

$133 billion would then be a couple or three percent. Which would be good for one year's cost of living increase. Better than nothing.

I'm not endorsing your math, just taking it as given, and please don't take mine too seriously.

> I trust they aren't intentionally doing it.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by the need to sustain the visibility of own necessity.

90% of PR and Web/UI/UX people could be safely fired after a couple of interactions of the design (and brought back 3-5-7 years later when the new or re-design would be needed). Sitting and not doing anything would make them fired, so they invent "new", "innovative" and other bullshit named things to justify their pay.

Eg: my bank, which changed the logon page like 10 times in 3 years. All times with a lavish descriptions of how the experience got even more better. The page consists of a login and password boxes, just like it had 10 years ago.

By calling the vaccine "rushed" and implying it can't be trusted, they sowed vaccine doubt and encouraged anti-vaccine ideologues.

I posted the receipts, they repeatedly questioned whether the vaccines could be trusted -- publicly, often.

You say my claims are untrue, yet you don't provide counter evidence that they did not claim the vaccines were "rushed" or could not be trusted. That'd be very hard to prove, since it's plastered all over media :)

>He was never branded as racist over the travel restrictions

Yeah, that's false. [1] He used the word "xenophobia" in direct response to the border closures.

>Things like derisively calling it the Wuhan Flu

Very dishonest argument, considering even NPR used this terminology early in the pandemic. [2] CNN, which you cite, also used this terminology. [3]

You must appreciate the irony of you claiming this terminology "derisive", while citing outlets who use the very same terminology, right?

>And Fauci was clearly expressing surprise at British regulatory process

You didn't refute my claim that he called it "rushed", which he did. Calling vaccines "rushed" is anti-vaccination disinformation.

I love how tankies seem to think the only economic system apart from communism is capitalism.

Bullshit. BGP doesn't 'expose' your internal routing configuration and there is absolutely no other way for someone to see how exactly the things in your network. OSPF could be used for it, but it requires: 1) being right next to your router 2) be configured to send on the external interface.

Yes, there was a break from early Windows Mobile (pre WinPhone7) because that UI system was really more or less a classic Windows GUI squeezed into a small screen and it sucked (unless you had a pen, but it was still a tad cumbersome).

I bought a cheap WP7 Nokia to develop on and the thing i remember most was that the UI was as smooth as Apple and not a stuttery one like Android of the same age.

Don't remember exactly why they left WP7 owners in the dust, but the biggest issue with it was that they fell for the Osbourne Effect and left quite a few mobile merchants pissed off about the amounts of WP7 devices left in stock that nobody wanted (and since those mobile merchants were often not the same as those with MS brand trust from the computer industry they felt no reason to give them a second chance).

While customers might've been a tad cautious, the biggest reason IMHO why WP8 died because few carriers,etc wanted to stock or sell them to begin with.

In driver's ed we were taught to put our right hand behind the passenger seat whenever looking back to go in reverse. As if to reinforce the modal/perspective change.
Power seats are not a pointless luxury. I’m pretty sure they are continuously adjustable which is much better than trying to pull on some lever and get the seat to pop into approximately the right place. To say nothing of mulitple drivers with memorized positions etc.
Text Analysis on YouTube Comments
Why don't you think a golden age existed?

The landscape is different today, which attracts a different sort of character. Back when scientific pursuit was a passion, you mostly had the creative and innately curious types who were drawn to the field all working on the same problems.

Now you have a large swathe of careerists with a handful of curious types, which invariably means the curious types get drowned out in the discourse and ultimately chased away from scientific pursuit.

The incentives are different as well. Peer review and showcasing ideas/work for grant money are new things. All of your work has to go through a committee of your non-curious careerist B-tier colleagues. If they don't like what you're doing, you won't get published and you won't get a grant.

It's now become a Job with the objective of getting all your work approved by committees. So it's different today.

I'm not doing commercial software for end users. My projects are usually in-house apps for midsize businesses. The largest one is a local hotel chain whose entire server infrastructure I've gotten to under $400/mo. That serves their employee-facing apps (front desk and back-of-house), their reservations system (~1k bookings per day), their website (~100k uniques per month), email systems and training software. If I told them it was going to cost $3k a month, they wouldn't balk. But they've compensated me well for being able to shave it down considerably over time. It's a great company that appreciates owning their own code. If I can write software once that they would otherwise have to pay a subscription for, they'll happily shell out $100k for their own version if it saves them $2k/mo in SaS. Much of what I've saved them over time has gone into my own bank account, and they've ended up with a pretty amazing ecosystem. But also, it has to do with hard lessons I've learned from not relying too much on SaS platforms. So many have come and gone since I started writing software. In the end each one becomes a single point of failure.

The relationship is that computing the SHA hashes takes polynomial time. One way you can think of NP is that it is the set of problems whose solutions that can be deterministically verified in polynomial time. So for any hash computable in polynomial time, the pre-image problem is in NP.

Note that this doesn’t prove the security of SHA256, it just says that to prove it secure would be to prove P != NP. You could still prove SHA256 insecure and that proof could be totally separate from P =? NP.
It sounds something is not right. ReSharper occasionally puts everything to a halt.

If you office policy allows, try disengaging it. A few versions ago Visual Studio had lots of missing features that ReSharper provided instead, but in 2019 and 2022 the gap is considerably smaller.

I am using visual studio daily and 2022 is particularly snappy.

Also - In work setting some end point policies enforce anti-virus software that converts the system to an unbearably slow state.

If you prefer posix tools for command line use (IMO they are much more ergonomic than powershell) wsl2 works pretty well for grepping and such.
And Apple is not evil? Charging 30% on top of a subscription w/ no value add isn't evil? I think according to your definition every company would be evil.

Ask HN: Why does Apple hide how much AppleCare+ costs?
I was thinking of buying AirPods 3, mainly because with AppleCare+ replacements are cheaper then a new pair of cheap headphones(AUD$45). I found that the price per fix is kind of misleading because they charge AUD$20 postage so a fix is actually $65, this is odd as everything on the Apple site is free shipping(but it's not too strange, they probably would rather you get it checked at an Apple store).

The real bizarre thing about AppleCare+ is there seems to be absolutely no way of finding out how much it costs without first buying AirPods? There's no price anywhere. The link for AppleCare+ for headphones gives an error 404. To even see that it actually exists I have to enter the AppleCare shop as though I want to buy AppleCare for some other device. I thought that perhaps the product is discontinued, but they advertise every AirPods as coming with 7 days free AppleCare+.

It seems like when AppleCare for AirPods first came out it cost $45, is it possible that it now costs way more and they deliberately hide it to make customers think it's a good deal? Perhaps they don't want people to buy AppleCare+ because it's a good deal? I don't understand how this practice makes any sense. I probably won't buy them if I can't find out how much AppleCare+ costs.

Also if anyone knows how much it costs in Australia, I'd appreciate if you'd let me know!

I was really impressed by "AlphaGo - The Movie", despite not knowing much about Go, because the way they told the story, people from the Asian countries were so sure their champion would win a Go tournament against a computer, that were stunned into a new consciousness about artificial intelligence when the computer won.
