As Raymond Chandler put it, paraphrasing from memory, drinking is like kissing. The first is magical, the second is intimate, and the third is routine. After that you might as well just take her clothes off.

My Thoughts on a 4-day Work Week
I think this is a "grass is greener" type argument. There are also massive problems with pass-through AR (VR with cameras).
Please don't post ideological flamewar comments to HN. They make threads predictable, tedious, and usually nasty. We're trying for something different here: thoughtful, curious conversation. To the extent possible on the public internet.

When has Tesla ever described Autopilot as being Full Self Driving? Regardless what you think of these names, they are nonetheless distinct product names under the Tesla umbrella. Conflating them seems akin to Ford mistakenly describing an Ecosport as being an F150.
No, of course not.

But when it matters, it matters — there's a huge productivity difference between waiting 5 minutes and 30 minutes when making staging deploys to iterate on bugs (and sometimes I'll do this 5-10 times in a day).
Were there countries that did a better job than the US in regards to the economic response the pandemic, particularly with respect to fiscal stimulus? Is any other country as close the the US to prepandemic GDP trendlines?

I wouldn’t be surprised if there are but I’m honestly not aware of them.
"...let them know you're not currently open to offers less than $current*1.5."

Whoa!! Is this for early career folks (less than 6 years)?
In the 15-20 years experience range none of my friends and ex-colleagues who moved jobs got a 50% raise on moving.
Use LineageOS+microG and (at the very least) Aurora Store on your phone. Use Firefox containers to sequester all Google services away from your other activity. Of course, use uBlock Origin. Achieve near total peace of mind when faced with things like this.

Soon, I want to unsubscribe from all YouTube channels and move them over to RSS. I'll use a third-party YouTube client to watch videos queued from my feeds. Then, gradually replace the YouTube feeds with equivalent PeerTube/other feeds, since some creators I follow are doing that. I am thinking Brave Search might be a good replacement for Google as well. After this, I may not even need the Firefox container.
I find drinking, in moderation, an enjoyable experience.

When done right, the social effects can be positive and perhaps beneficial.

But I also enjoy pouring a beer into proper glassware, gazing at its gradient under the light, smelling it's aroma change as the head dissipates and looking at how it retains its body and lacing.

Of course, alcohol can also lead to bad experiences. For some people, it may be better to totally avoid it. Regardless, it's good to take some time off once in a while.
500mw power consumption. That's quite a bit.

Same.. Like, usually the complete opposite LOL. But that's its own problem, and too frequently makes the sober day me( I don't day drink ). a very different person; low energy, low assertiveness, etc.
That's a pretty fringe outlook. A good piece of advice would be:

Every belief, good or bad, has a lunatic fringe that takes that belief to some stupid extreme.

If we judge every belief by its most deluded lunatic fringe, then we would be forced to conclude that there are literally zero beliefs or ideas worth subscribing to. The lunatic fringe is always there, and it is always scary and/or really, really dumb.

Learn to recognize the fringe.

A tangent: it's honestly really disappointing to me that Starlink requires proprietary equipment to use. High-speed, low-latency satellite internet would've been a real game-changer in countries where the government seeks to control information flow by blocking websites and online services. But because you need the proprietary dish made specifically for Starlink, they'll of course just restrict import of these.
Note that the standard base32 rfc encoding does not sort the same as the underlying data, but the hex encoding does! (base32.HexEncoding).

Reddit uses base36 for similar purposes.
I don't know. I think if something like Organic Maps got a critical mass of people using it and then integrated with Matrix so it could anonymously collect live traffic data and send it out, it would be amazing.
FWIW Windows 10 LTSC is pretty solid, it removes most of the cruft and if you install it airgapped and disable all the updates/automatic driver installs and security crap before you let it online it's really a pretty solid operating system.
You sure like to be condescending. Every one of your replies to me starts with condescension. And I mean... my guy... I don't really think any of your comments are particularly compelling. I'm very aware of the state of UBI research, and I don't consider any of it to be very meaningful. I guess you do - that's great. But to completely discount the COVID stimulus is... cognitive dissonance.
It feels really terrible that the FBI is consuming vast amounts of our tax money to help idiotic American corporations from leaking secrets. If those companies are so lax in security, I say let them die. Or at least don't continue holding up their corpses indefinitely on my dime!
Alcohol is a personality replacement for a large number of people in the US. I don't feel like I have the moral high ground for not drinking, but I really wish people would stop convincing themselves that drinking is in and of itself a worthwhile activity, or that they need to be drinking to say or do something.

Bar crawling is incredibly boring. It can be made bearable by drinking, but that begs the question -- why aren't you just doing something where you don't have to be drinking to enjoy it?
All these 3rd party products still have to use the WordPress Way (tm) hooks into the app.
Even Yang proposed making UBI mutually contradictory with receiving other benefits.

> Every extant welfare scheme is a vote buying program which you're now nuking.

While some peoples' votes will be bought with welfare money, others will support it because they don't think it's OK to let the poor starve or don't want the poor to riot. E.g. me: I don't receive public assistance. I think welfare programs are necessary (though it's better if most of them are implemented in the form of a UBI).

>it is one of the worst things to have happened to humans.

Philosophy professor Edward Slingerland advances the opposite view that alcohol is one of the most important inventions for the development of human civilization.

From the Goodreads summary in his book [0]: [...] "In fact, intoxication helps solve a number of distinctively human challenges: enhancing creativity, alleviating stress, building trust, and pulling off the miracle of getting fiercely tribal primates to cooperate with strangers. Our desire to get drunk, along with the individual and social benefits provided by drunkenness, played a crucial role in sparking the rise of the first large-scale societies. We would not have civilization without intoxication."

I personally find myself happier without regular alcohol consumption, but there is a strong argument to be made that alcohol has played a positive role in the development of civilization.

Believe me being an avatar all day is more soul crushing. Actually I cannot see how being face to face can be referred to as soul crushing. That’s a pretty said commentary on the target audience.
radar doesn't see around corners. At any rate, would have to see some evidence that it can handle the worst of The City before I took a ride, like the incessant construction, steel plates on the road covering new holes, taped off lane changes, resulting traffic jams where merging is happening and so on. It's a really difficult environment for a human and I've never heard the claim yet that self-driving was better than humans.
I am always surprised when a financial services firm doesn't support 2FA using their app versus SMS, or support fallback to a voice call to a phone number registered to your account.
It is bad to keep citing 2008 money as if it were a handout. Much of the money was paid back with interest, and the government MADE money on those loans. Look up the “maiden lane” loans for an example.
I've been on ddg for years now. The only time I have to use Google is when I'm hunting for very specific memes from years ago.
My rules for drinking alcohol:

1) Never drink alone.

2) Rarely drink when sad. And when doing so, time box it in a specific period.

3) Rarely drink until drunk. And when that's the intent, make sure everyone around you has the same intent.

It's generally worked out pretty well. Some better times of my life have featured more alcohol: it's a great way to quickly unwind with friends when you need to cram 10 hours of decompression (from work) into 3 hours available.

But recently, I've been drinking less, if at all. See Rules #1 & #2 + COVID.

110% agreement that it ages people though.

That's kind of misleading, it's like saying Drupal has adopted NFTs because someone created this module:

Anybody can create any kind of module for Drupal, but in the case of the Gutenberg and NFT modules, only a small minority of sites are actually using them.
Google public dns is different than Gmail. It isn't the source of the data, for one thing. It's just a cache. The cost of switching to someone else's cache is approximately zero. And it's not very difficult to set up your own nameserver that actually queries the root nameservers.
I drink (when I want to, not constantly or anything...), my partner doesn't.

It's amazing to see the flak she takes for it, and how people sometimes just won't give up. It's not that weird! Some folks immediately ask lots of personal questions, and others react like she's crazy.

I must admit since being with her it has become very apparent how normalised drinking and being drunk are in our society.

More importantly, "driverless" means no one at the driver seat. What Tesla has is barely even Level 3. Waymo right now is doing rides without anyone in the driverseat, aka Level 4.

What Tesla is doing is not driverless.
I read it differently. This seems like someone who has not actually been dependent on alcohol, and now realizes that the downsides outweigh the so-called enjoyment. So, she'll simply give it up completely, and instantly do away with all the negatives.

I can very much relate. I drink only rarely, and overall enjoy it but then my head and body complain the next day, even after just one cocktail or glass of wine. Or, I'll have a tall beer at home and then notice I can't talk as clearly, in front of my kids. So it's just not worth it, and I'm debating just walking away completely. Instant win.

An easy solution is to always slow down in a school zone.

If you want/need to drive faster in the school zone, you simply step on the accelerator and deactivate self-driving. You can turn it on again when through the school zone.
Not suggesting everyone should move to Postgres, it was just a general observation from online and offline discussions. I know MariaDB works fine if not great. It is just comparatively speaking not getting much market shares.
Just read through the negative reviews on Glassdoor. https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/Cruise-Reviews-E977351.htm “Churn” is not an uncommon word.
By the time the probe gets off the ground and begins a long stern chase of the interstellar object, many decades will have passed by when (if!!) the probe ever catches up with Oumuamua. And how long will it take at lightspeed for the data to reach Earth from way out there?

By then the major space exploration nation in the world could well be Indonesesia. And who knows if the space nation then would even be interested in capturing data from a probe nearly a century old.
Not directly, but their API and security design absolutely does influence how normal plugins behave (i.e. common bugs), and how well they can limit the damage of abnormal ones.
Anthony Bourdains trip to The south, he met up with a vibrant Desi-American community who swore blind caste meant nothing in the USA these days. I am less sure, but hope so.

In Australia a south- Asia colleague is fighting the burden of eldest son == "find the suitable bride for your nephews and nieces" and assures me he can't take any old photo back to momma. I suspect colour/shade is a proxy for some people.
At my house we joke that it'd easier to tell friends we're recovering alcoholics. Then people instantly respect your decision and respect you, instead of pegging you as a downer.
Why would you assume that two straight white men agree more (in their perspective on things) then e.g. with a gay black woman?

The world of ideas is so high-dimensional that sex & race impact very few of these dimensions. Most straight white men are not the same.
I experimented with quitting alcohol for January and I felt immediate results. Like, the first evening was different, I stayed up reading, and every day I felt significantly better in the morning and had far more “juice” left in my brain at night.

I didn’t make it all the way through the month though. A glass of wine at the end of a difficult day is just so … attractive, if not exactly effective.
I disagree that it's true for all people. When I was young and in college with mild social anxiety, yes, alcohol was an excellent social lubricant and made for much more enjoyable nights.

But now that I'm in my 30's and comfortable being open in just about any social situation, I don't find that alcohol adds much. I can lower my inhibitions on my own.
Yes, 'My' was dropped in Vista. It is now 'This PC' in Windows 10.
This is inevitable in the winner take all economy. The only solution is to tax the gains and reinvest to improve the baseline quality of life.
This is going to cost all of us, money and a whole lot more, once his space junk triggers the Kessler effect (or accelerates, because many think it is already slowly under way, but the growth is exponential).

Ground astronomy is already "ruined", thanks to Starlink: IIRC from something I read recently, what used to be fraction of the percent of plates ruined by satellites right before Starlink, now has risen to astounding 20%.

This is nonetheless comparing a product currently on sale with a development platform not currently on sale. Surely a fairer test would be to compare a Luminar tech development rig with a Tesla tech development rig.

Luminar doesn't appear to have access to Tesla's under-development technology beta which is, as YouTube videos of FSD beta clearly shows, markedly superior to the technology currently deployed in most Tesla cars. I can't say whether the FSD beta would reliably stop for balloon-children, but from the warts-and-all videos being posted on YouTube, it seems highly likely that it would.
> According to NAHB estimates, the total count of second homes was 7.5 million

I'm not saying 7.5M isn't a market that might be worth chasing, but at the same time, I would hardly call 2% of the population "extremely high".
Trillions?

Are you not just stating a truism, though?
From the page:

> Unlimited Service Locations:
Starlink is ideal for rural and remote locations. Order as many Starlinks as needed and manage all of your service locations, no matter how remote, from a single account.

This screams corp fleet management of the equipment, similar to SSO price segmentation.

There are so many comments from people who report being inundated on LinkedIn by recruiters. I don't have a LinkedIn account, and I _never_ hear from recruiters. My name is out there; I'm on other developer-centric social networks and generally have no compunction about giving out my email address and phone number, and I literally don't have this problem. I have over a decade of experience in many different software engineering roles, so I assume I would be a plum prize for unscrupulous recruiters. (I used to receive messages like these, but they dropped off around 2013. I assume this is roughly the point that recruiters realized that they could focus on LinkedIn to maximize their conversion.)

So, serious question: why do you have a LinkedIn account? I know there is theoretical benefit in maintaining connections to professional acquaintances, but in sticking to email and a few alumni Slack channels, I have never felt limited in that department. What is the benefit of your LinkedIn account and why do you keep it?
Counter-example: I went on one bar crawl with student organization members at college. The fun part was opening up and talking honestly with other people I typically had a more professional relationship with due to the nature of the organization. We saw a live music performance by a small band at the back of one of the bars, and every time things seemed dull, we changed locations and visited hidden-away parts of the city at small bars that were difficult to find.

The novelty of the exploration and speaking openly to people was really fun. I suppose we could have explored the city sober, but I doubt that the vast majority of the other people would have spoken unreservedly without alcohol. I wouldn't do it again at my age, but it was a fun memory. It wasn't necessarily drinking that was the fun part, but rather the activities it enabled.
I thought it was obvious at the time that some of the money would end up going to people who didn’t need it. But we were okay with that, to an extent, because enough would get to the people who did need it
Maybe when the open source community successfully executes manned space missions, we can free ourselves from the tyranny of proprietary satellite technology…

All culture is mongrel.
That's a pretty tortured metaphor.

All analogies are imperfect by definition. Hopefully you understood the concept: there's a difference between the collaboration between equals and theft by oppressor. I wouldn't think that's too controversial.

Would it be morally ok for the prisoners to steal the guard's music?

No, not really.

What if cultural borrowing is the societal
precursor to acceptance and integration?

Yeah, I think it often is! It's probably a good thing more often than not.

I hope you are not misunderstanding the concept of cultural appropriation to mean that you should literally never collaborate with or incorporate outside influences? If so then, well, good news - it's not that.
> So, she'll simply give it up completely, and instantly do away with all the negatives.

That is a very different thing than claiming you'll be granted a superpower. And again, people who do have dependency issues often use them as a crutch to avoid looking at other problems or root causes.

Alcohol isn't the one thing holding you back from writing the great American novel or becoming a 10x developer or learning Mandarin, and telling yourself that when you attempt to quit or limit is a very good way to find your way back to booze.
As an amateur (non-AI-expert) it seems to me that behind every corner is lurking a sub-problem that is AGI-equivalent. I don't see any reason to believe that humans do human-quality object detection without also deploying tremendous contextual understanding of the world. So perhaps it will turn out that a computer needs something similar?
