Sometimes the cancer doesn't emit any marker proteins, or maybe the ones it does are difficult to detect/create antibodies to bind to.

The problem is your use of the word "wants". When I moved to San Francisco in 2014, it wasn't because I wanted to. I liked it there; I think San Francisco is certainly a desirable place to live, but that doesn't actually matter.

The fact is, in 2014, I was planning to move to Portland, which, in 2014, was much more affordable than it is today. But I found a job in San Francisco before I found anything in Portland. That didn't happen because I thought San Francisco was desirable, it happened because people, except for the very few who make a lot of money working remotely, do not move somewhere simply because they want to. Otherwise, I would have moved to Costa Rica.

The overwhelming conclusion I've drawn from this pandemic is that it's ultimately about people's level of trust in their own ability to analyze data vs trust in authority figures. There have been so many examples of 'vaccines cause harm!' articles that fundamentally misunderstand basic statistical concepts like selection bias or simpson's paradox (see the covid-datascience.com blog for lots more of these).

Is your prior on 'I will not make a significant analytic error' higher than 'the FDA analyzed the available data correctly'?

Elon Musk is the biggest egomaniac that ever roamed the Earth, he doesn’t fit in with your comment the slightest.
Many energy deregulated states charge supply, transmission, and distribution as separate line items. Is this not the case in CA? Seem strange that it wouldn't be, how else would you handle billing when someone chooses a different supplier?
Not only is the "tax" word problematic, but if you call it "carbon pricing" that irks the people who are reflexively anti-market. And no matter what you call it, the sanctimonious environmentalists will fight it because it minimizes the need for heroic personal sacrifice with respect to preserving the environment (frankly, these personal sacrifices probably aren't significant in the first place--the bulk of pollution is industry and transport, especially that which we outsource to China, etc).

Hm. You got me thinking about this: another layer below that can send a 'charge' pulse to a coil on the puck to charge a super cap. Bonus points if you can turn that into a levitation mechanism.
You might be interested in the technical reasons for requiring a phone number to use Signal. Not sure if there have been any updates since this blog post.
https://signal.org/blog/secure-value-recovery/

> One challenge has been that if we added support for something like usernames in Signal, those usernames wouldn’t get saved in your phone’s address book. Thus if you reinstalled Signal or got a new device, you would lose your entire social graph, because it’s not saved anywhere else. Other messaging apps solve this by storing a plaintext copy of your address book, social graph, and conversation frequency on their servers. That way your phone can get run over by a car without flattening your social graph in those apps, but it comes at a high privacy price.
> Your UK price is 4x that of mine!

And just to drive the point home: this is not the last price increase we will see. It will rise another 50% in October and probably won't fall much until 2024.
Yes, that's correct, your sarcasm is misplaced. It was clear within a month or two that lockdowns weren't working, because when examining all the available data from all countries:

1. Waves peaked and went into decline at the wrong times for lockdowns to have been the cause.

2. There was no correlation between lockdown severity and outcomes.

It also became clear that having committed to such a disastrous and stupid policy, public health people couldn't then admit it had failed despite the clarity of the data, so they simply ignored it all, then told everyone it was a great success and we had to keep on doing it. The press fell into line and now, even two years later, we have the problem of people like yourself who assume that if we are doing it, it must therefore work. Oh, how easy life would be if that were so.

The reality is lockdowns are still sporadically happening and they're slow to let go of WFH, because public health is an institutionally corrupt and unethical profession at every level. Because you can't do something like lock down a country and then admit it was a bad idea, in a reputation based field, whilst keeping your status and career. Because lying is easier than admitting the truth. Because lots of people like having an excuse to WFH instead of going to an office. Because, because, because. But it's not because they work.
That and the fact that European truck drivers don’t live in their trucks on a semi permanent basis.
Red team still develops attacks. They just do it directly for the blue team that fixes them.
But your price in that case should be really outrageous because your just externalizing the cost of the utility having to build a peaker plant somewhere and run it on a couple peak days a year (and maintain the infra). That cost should be averaged over the year for someone who uses 100% grid electricity, but for someone who only uses it when the production is the most expensive then they are freeloading on everyone else. That is sorta the point of the whole article.

It is also fundamentally the problem with wind and PV even at grid scale. Its true costs are buried behind the (generally) natural gas turbines being built to back it up because the grid can't just say "sorry no power right now, you get to freeze" like happened in TX last year. So, one has to take the max power usage, and assure there is capacity even if it happens to be dark/cold and without wind. Usually there is a fair bit of excess capacity in place to deal with plants have to shutdown for maint/etc so it just becomes a question of assuring that all the plants don't do maintenance at the same time (enron/CA anyone?), and they aren't going to be doing maintenance during the parts of the year when peak power draw happens (generally the dead of winter, and summer).
> The gitignore format is quite subtle.

It is indeed. I can't say that I have it 100% correct yet, if you are aware of a good set of tests, I could incorporate it.

> In any case, that's all fine and good, but your tool is very clearly not a clone of ag or ripgrep IMO. ... the "smart filtering" aspect is probably the defining quality of things like ack, ag and ripgrep. So if you don't have that, I don't think you can call it a clone IMO. The smart filtering feature is right up there next to performance in terms what things users tend to like about these tools.

I did implement nested gitignore files; it just murders performance (not quite by a factor of 2 with warm caches in the best case; some pathological cases can be much worse). This is actually something that logically belongs in find, as it relates to directory traversal, and a generic "walk this directory tree ignoring files in gitignore" is probably useful for many other things.

This was strictly a clone of the silver searcher because that was what was popular at the time (2016ish I think?). It started out as a weekend project just for fun, then I started adding more ag options. There are a few other unimplemented features such as --vimgrep --ackmate --column and --stats. Also -g takes a glob rather than a pcre; I could reasonably make it take a posix regex, but I think that would fool people into thinking it worked like ag, while a glob is rarely confused for a pcre.

I think the use of TLA+ is very niche, just to prove that some really lower level algorithms for distributed systems work well, I think crypto might be a good use case like you mentioned, but I guess most companies wouldn’t benefit from it except if for fun
I wonder if it's just a symptom of Hacker News getting more popular?

My theory is that, as a site grows, the quality of comments goes down. Perhaps it's because the site is harder to moderate when more people are on it? Perhaps it's because the attention drives in the loonies?

Personally, I really like how Hacker News is moderated. (Thanks Dang!)
Diesel engines do not have engine breaking? Are you sure? For me, engine breaking is just the fact that the engine, without power, have moving pieces which, by inertia, is going to slow down the vehicle. Diesel engine being heavier than "regular" engine, the engine brake effect is more important.

At least that's my experience with the cars I used to own.

Edit: For the record, my experience is for 4-strokes diesel engines. Apparently, 2-strokes are still in use in the US.
My thoughts as well. In the BC woods is only a question of when the next forest fire will come.
In Sweden there are 2 separate charges, one for infrastructure and one for consumption. The infrastructure bill scales with how big your breakers/fuses (English) are while consumption scales with how many KWh you've used. You often have a different infra provider and power provider.

For someone living in a condo/apt the infra cost is usually higher than consumption while in houses where heating often is powered by some heat-pump system(drill, air, ground) consumption is higher.

Houses with district heating can scale down their capacity to lower the infra price.
I’m only going to say this one last time:

You started the conversation

Even putting aside that I didn’t edit anything out of my post, unlike the ridiculous Nazi analogy you made, I couldn’t have changed the context of your post because you posted it before my opening comment

Or to use you’re ridiculous nazi analogy, I’m the one replying, not the one making the ridiculous nazi comments.

Completely agree.

Preface by saying the I don't agree with Trump on a lot of things.

Lets look at this from a parenting perspective. If i have a child who misbehaves often, is it appropriate for me to punish them when they do something good?

Holding the media to the same accountability, if Trump is saying stupid/outrageous/provocative things, then lambast him when he says those things. But if the media lambasts him when he is saying something reasonable, then that is on the media.

I think most of the annoyance I see in the thread is because there was blame being assigned to Trump or even someone on the same stage as him because they were on that stage with him.

>One of the worst things about Donald Trump was that if he or anyone adjacent to him actually said anything good, it immediately became toxic.

I've only been active since 2019, I wouldn't say the tone has changed much, maybe there are waves, maybe it's just the ebb and tide of who are active when, which is outside-influenced by peoples general lives. Sometimes several of the more negative people will happen to be in a more active period at the same time..

That said, I think the tone on HN is fairly good, people are not sugarcoating things, they're not veiling their views with courtesy, and they're generally presenting arguments for consideration, and if insults are made, they're usually insults of ideas, not people.

So maybe I'm just in the "negative asshole camp" but I think it's very refreshing to have conversations on HN, because my views are often challenged, and I am forced to reconsider and adjust, while at the same time, I feel that my own points are being considered, rather than automatically discarded as is often the case in mainstream social media, where discussions are not had to find understanding or truth, but to "win".
Or are working in highly-paid careers. It's definitely not infeasible for a dual tech income to afford this after an early life saving for it.
You didn't have radios wherever it was you lived? No friends or cassette tapes?

Heck I still have stacks of cassette tapes from the 80's and early 90's - waiting around to record your favorite song from the radio (and cursing DJs that talked over the intro's) and then creating custom mix tapes for friends that we then all passed around to each other was a right of passage.
Same with German vehicles. When they fail inspection (usually because of emissions), they are sold to other countries. Central Asia is full of trucks with German lettering. It's always interesting to see.
There's the marginal cost of electricity, and there's the marginal cost of electricity at peak time.

The second one is much higher, and solar hits precisely it. Yeah, there is still a subsidy and it will go away at some point, but it's not 77% of the costs like the article states.
We do use a lot of three letter acronyms, but are trying to curb it because it's confusing for new people.
I mean the paper _is_ part of the product you are buying, and value for money is definitely in scope for a Amazon review. If you want a purely literary review go to Goodreads!

Amazon's packaging and the delivery boy is pretty funny though.
The way to do this if you're not wealthy is to get a cheapo plot of land on the Oregon/Washington coast ($<100k for up to .5 acres) and put a manufactured home on it. It's way simpler, cheaper, and the construction on manufactured homes has improved a lot over the years (they're framed with 2x6s to survive transport, and this makes them sturdier and better insulated than most traditional houses). I did it and it's been great! No complaints. No architectural magazine is going to feature my house though.
>If the CIA isn't allowed to do certain things for spying, so ... just have Israel spy on our populace

You basically described various "X eyes" programs. Western intelligence services are completely out of control.

My country (Denmark) was involved in a similar program with the NSA:

>Danish intelligence (FE) also helped the US agency to spy on the Danish foreign and finance ministries as well as a Danish weapons manufacturer. The FE also cooperated with the NSA on spying operations against the US government itself.

How is that rational? A truck driver's license can't be too expensive, even if you hardly use it. It's probably one of the easier things to have on your bucket list.
You could technically do this with Rust. rust-analyzer will allow you to jump to certain types, functions, etc, and Rust has first-class modules.
Ford used to make some cab-over semi trucks that were very popular in the US during the 80's and early 90's and resembled very closely the European designs of today.

I think it's pretty obvious and comes down to a few things:

* European trucks typically run shorter hauls, and do not require a bunk in the cab as often as multi-day cross-country runs.

* European Semi's need to accommodate all countries' roads and parking lots. This means the much wider range of nonstandard roads, docks, fueling stations and parking lots extends much farther towards the "small" side. Tight streets and parking lots - making it necessary for the truck to be shorter for tighter turns and parking compatibility.

* It has been proven that a cab-forward design is safer for avoiding accidents directly in front of the vehicles, something that is more focused on in the EU.

* The least obvious but possibly the most relevant reason why it remains: Having and ingraining differing standards makes it harder for a single competitor to play into the both markets. EU is largely locked down by EU manufacturers since any US manufacturers would have to significantly change their design and production to sell there.

The fuel economy point seems to be a distant consideration since the majority of drag economy comes from the trailer and not the tractor.
You can. You can also demonstrate the issue in several other ways.

However, it never works. It may last a week, a day, a few hours, but sooner or later, they're going to believe that you're just staring off into space and that it's fine to interrupt you. That you can pick up and put down your task as easily as you would a pen.

Yeah, I saw those flat roofs, and talk of whistler, and thought what a nightmare. Peaked roofs exist for a reason. I wonder what their snow strategy is? Because one day of rain on top of several feet of snow causes severe structural strain if it can’t just slide down.

> In Germany in the the 20s and 30s right wing authoritarianism freely absorbed adherents of the equivalent of today's "wellness" and "natural health" movements

Those movements are not the source of fascism and I don't think existentialism and romanticism leaves one particularly open to it. Modernism was established when WW2 broke out which probably ended it. I doubt that any philosophy is vulnerable to it because then it would not resurface. Fascism and communism as well judged capitalism. Maybe that is easier to admit than being responsible for it ourselves.

I do believe however that there are fascist tendencies in those that quickly diagnose it in others just because it is something abhorrent. That Adorno suspected it everywhere would be understandable, except that he did no such thing even with the pessimism he often espoused.
An open license generally means "now that you have the app, you have the rights to [...many things...], including distribution, on your own terms (but keep compatible with the license, obvs.)." For whomever the author/s has licensed it to.

But no license I've seen so far said "you (or the author/s) MUST distribute this to everyone." Once you've distributed the app, the licensee gets the rights, sure; but there's no requirement "you must grant license to anyone who asks."

This is somewhat unintuitive - and also mostly moot, as anyone who is already granted a permissive license may also distribute the app themselves - but with open-source apps going for this, it would become "here's the official way of supporting the author, and if you dig a bit, here's the cheap but legal way of using the app just the same." Sometimes all it takes is for the "will support the author" path to be the path of least resistance...

In other words, foo/bar the original repo might be paid access, xyz/bar the exact copy might be gratis; the only difference being "but foo/bar is the original author's version"
In that case, I truly have no idea. You're right, it's weird.
I admit it is possible I'm just unable to see the value of these things, but I also have a lot of company in that with people who are way smarter than me.

> Programmable money is really interesting.

Why would I want to "program" money? What does that actually do for me?

> Random things I’d like to do, such as buying a gamertag for my Xbox account that’s already taken from a stranger, suddenly have viable solutions.

Yeah, see, I can't see much reason to want to do this other than to use it as part of a scam. I don't have a gamertag, but nearest I can figure it's just an online identity. Why would you want to buy someone else's identity? I suppose they might have some kind of vanity username that's being squatted? So what are we promoting here? Just a useful tool for black markets? Sure, that has some utility, but it is hardly what I would call exciting new world changing technology.

> Atomic transactions allow pretty interesting things too - imagine payments like SQL transactions where your own custom logic has to be met for the transaction to occur.

I'm imagining that, and I can't see what it does that I can't already do today in the real world without having to know any over-complicated technology.

> The issue is it’s still a really new, complicated, and fast evolving domain.

The complexity is part of the reason I don't have any trust in it. When people are trying to sell me something by saying "it's complicated, but trust me it's great!" I am immediately suspicious. They call it 'confidence' artistry for a reason.

And christ, whenever people talk about this stuff it is always about money. Does it have any uses not related to financial trickfuckery? Theoretically this is supposed to enable decentralized youtube and the like, but nobody talks about that. This makes the whole space very untrustworthy.

I always try and work with the assumption that the media is lying to me. Mainly by omission. These things are owned by private people and/or are run by people with agendas. There has to be limits to their trustworthiness. I salt every news story that gets served up to me.
I wonder how much of those roadblocks are there due to lobbying and gatekeeping to keep salaries high and not actual safety requirements.
