I think they have a really strong culture/ecosystem around cybersecurity given the close relationships between the IDF and the startup ecosystem and given how many Israelis serve, there's likely much more understanding (if not interest) of govtech/defensetech compared to the U.S. where it's an all volunteer force and not that much crossover in Silicon Valley and DoD, although lots of folks trying to change that like DIU, AFWERX, SOFWERX, etc.
> People who come to a democratic discourse without facts deserve no time of democratic people.

I disagree. If 95% of the people come to a discourse with no facts, and we follow this guideline, what kind of democracy is that?

IMO it is our responsibility in a democracy to listen and empathize with others, no matter how wrong they are. It is equally my responsibility to convince others, as it is for others to be convinced by reasonable arguments.

This is all notwithstanding the reality that what constitutes "fact" is not at all clear. In this kind of discourse, I place that word into the "thought-terminating cliche" category. Typically what is heralded as "fact" and "100% true" is much more nuanced with caveats, probabilities, normative assumptions, inferences, etc.
Optimally you'd have both. I think a good CS background will still help the self-starter more than coming from some other background.
Right. But if you live near the edge of coverage, say 280 miles, and your friend lives another 70 miles out, he could be 350 miles from the nearest base station. I know this is an oversimplification of the issue. But maybe the friend would be connected to a different ground station, that happened to be full.

Cool! Do you have some references/links for the floor heat system? How big is the house?

I'm mostly curious about the cycle time. We install floor heat in our homes, typically with a gas-fired boiler.
To be honest I understand perfectly well why it exists.

These days I played "Everspace 2" and it felt great, controls-wise, the physics are not that good though. And I wanted a more simulator thing.

I then tired up all space simulators I could, played a little, tried to see if any scratch a specific itch, and found out the only ones that DOES scratch that itch, are ancient games, some that had Roberts involved.

The reason people is plunking money in Star Citizen is that people want a game that basically doesn't exist, and Star Citizen promises to be that game. (if it will actually pull that off is another story...).

Elite could have done it, but they didn't, their controls aren't that interesting and the entire series has the same repeating issues (of course, open source clones have the same issues).

X series are basically an RTS with first person controls, another genre entirely.

Evochron I didn't tried, but heard the controls are batshit insane and the interface is bizarre, the game is good but hard to understand.

Among open source stuff, the one that came closest to what I want is clones of Chris Roberts games (for example games using Vega Strike engine).

Freespace could work, but the contols of that game is really wonky, I couldn't get used to it or make it work with my mouse, and I don't own a joystick.

Now if you are willing to go 2D there are more options, sadly some of them are trying to screw themselves too (looking at you "Celestial Command" that started as a 2D realistic physics game and is now a 3D game with crap physics because they couldn't make the AI work properly).
I don’t think it’s quite that simple. A math paper generally says 3 kinds of things: X is true, this is the high level idea of how we can prove X is true, and this is the detailed proof that X is true. As the post mentions, usually when there’s a mistake, X is still true.
And yet ever more people only have IPv6... and last I checked IPv6 server support is around 99% these days ?

Question is whether batteries are getting better fast enough. Cost per energy stored might be coming down relatively quickly, but energy density (energy per volume) or specific energy (energy per mass) are improving only very slowly. As a consequence, I think long-range electric passenger jets, for example, are many decades off.
I'm 34 and am working towards being grid-independent because the cost exceeds the value.

The article states that mutations arise randomly (de novo mutations), but the rate of of these mutations differ based on populations experiencing differing environmental pressures.

The naïve hypothesis would be to expect that de novo mutations, being random, should arise in differing populations -- even in different environments -- at the same rate; apparently this isn't the case.

The article doesn't explain the underlying mechanism, so I assume this is just premilitary observational science? The authors say this challenges neo-Darwinism, how?

One explanation is that environmentally selected genes (meta genes?) that promote mutation of de novo genes in regions of the genome under environmental pressure. These meta genes dispersed in a population would prime that population for the synthesis of new adaptations.
That was quite popular a while back also. I tried to pick it up when I first got into web development and never really understood it (didn't really understand MVC at all) and started using CodeIgniter (which is also still going) instead which seemed more straight forward - although used it more like VC rather than MVC haha.

Quite nice to see they're all going.

My point is that veganism is an ideology and a philosophy, it's not just a lifestyle choice. Not eating or otherwise using animal products does not make someone a vegan--it's a necessary prerequisite, of course, but not the sole requirement. Actively fighting against animal exploitation is at the very core of veganism. Supporting and reinforcing a culture which normalizes animal consumption, or the imitation thereof, actively fights against this cause. We should be working to highlight how fucked up it is that people want to pretend to eat animals, because they 'taste good', not reinforcing the view that it's OK to do so.
> But at $10+ for a transaction fee that’s impossible

Algorand transaction fees are a fraction of a cent.
Technically, corporations pay taxes. Practically, only individuals pay taxes.

The Tax system is built on the foundation of maximizing profit (ie: squeeze as much from the population as it can). Theoretically, we should only have a single tax: The income tax. At the end of the year, each citizen reports his income and pays his due.

In reality, people will probably won't pay much in such a system and will protest their "high taxes". It is much easier, then, to tax the big, evil, rich corporation. It makes it look like people are paying less taxes when they are paying all the taxes.

In more modern and developed systems, taxes are mainly used to control the economy rather than raise funding. The government giving solar producers a tax break is the equivalent of the communist system deploying a program to produce solar panels.

Well. Last time i played I finally had my first flight. It’s been possible for a while now to visit different planets, space stations and so on. But I have not tried before now. They have focused a lot on details and realism. When I opened the ramp to my ship and walked in it felt like i was there. I walked through the door to the cockpit and entered the pilot seat. Then I powered up the ship. A voice spoke and informed me the ship was online and a flurry of hud elements gave me a disorienting amount of information about fuel, elevation, ammo, comm channels and so on. After fiddling for a while I figured out how to ask for launch permission and clumsily took off. I barely managed to float up and out of the spaceport hangar I was in. You have supreme control of your ship and can rotate and tilt any which way. After getting used to the controls I used the star map to select a destination and began the quantum jump. It takes several minutes to to this. When I arrived I was on the wrong side of the planet, and so I had to do a second smaller jump to correct this. The view was something else. You really feel like you are floating far above a planet. I then got out of the pilot seat, opened one of ships bay doors and just stood there looking down on the planet below me. After a while I flew down looking for a landing place. I could not find it so I landed on a high rise building and left the ship. I then got stuck and had to kill myself to get sent back to my starting point.
It's not that.

The whitespace works differently between those languages. The Python syntax has limitations that aren't on the Haskell one.

But also, Haskell tends to place the kind of things the GP is talking about on the beginning of your expression (because of the "reverse" order on function composition), while Python tends to place them at the end of a block.
I tend to side with the tech companies (Apple in particular) due to the security issues and review process. It's not perfect and the cut seems excessive IMO, but there is value there that can't be dismissed outright. It'll be interesting to see how Apple and Google handle this. Maybe they'll allow side-loading with big, scary language? Or perhaps a cheaper or even free tier for developers to allow apps on their respective App stores?

It all comes down to what surface receptors the cancer is presenting on whether you can get T cells to attack it.

If the B-specific receptors are gone on your B-cell lymphoma, there may not be a great target left that isn't also on a bunch of cells you need.

Each thing you do that targets "weird" characteristics of cancer (or bacterial infection, or pests) selects for cancer (or bacteria, or pests) that is presenting as less weird relative to everything else around.

> 55 saves lives.

Actually that's not true. [1]

In 1995 the Republican Congress repealed the 55-mile-per-hour federal speed
limit law. At the time, the highway safety lobby and consumer advocacy
groups made apocalyptic predictions about 6,400 increased deaths and a million
additional injuries if posted speed limits were raised. Ralph Nader even said
that “history will never forgive Congress for this assault on the sanctity of
human life.”

But almost all measures of highway safety show improvement, not more deaths
and injuries since 1995. Despite the fact that 33 states raised their speed
limits immediately after the repeal of the mandatory federal speed limit,
the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported last October that
“the traffic death rate dropped to a record low level in 1997.” Moreover, the
average fatality rate even fell in the states that raised their speed limits.

Higher speed limits have not caused one million more auto injuries. In fact,
in 1997 there were 66,000 fewer road injuries than in 1995, the year before
the speed limits were raised. The injury rate per 100 million vehicle miles
traveled fell to its lowest level ever recorded in 1997. If the injury rate
on the roads had been as high in 1997 as it had been in 1995, approximately
17,000 more Americans would have been injured on the roads.

You end up with a bunch of other challenges. The infrastructure costs of the grid are quite high to build and operationally expensive. That cost needs to be defrayed somehow.

The Time of Use (consumption charges) that aren't explained that well and differ quite significantly depending on the tariff structure you apply to. Consumption for commercial use is charged in two ways kwh that you require but also the peak kW that you need per month. This is in order to recoup the marginal cost of electricity produced at the "peak" of the month.

I'm not trying to just muddy up the waters but I think the underlying analysis is overly simplistic and inaccurate. I would hate for people to think that this substack article is an accurate portrayal of the complexities of the energy system and the pricing structures. Residential rates are only portion of the grid.

It's funny because the technical crowd should be best situated to understand the incredible tech curves of solar, wind, and storage, as they have experienced the advancement of computer tech. However, for other technical fields, such as civil engineering, they are not used to dramatic cost drops.

Nuclear has a surprising negative learning curve. This is obvious when comparing different reactor designs over time, with ever increasing costs. But the more surprising finding is that building the same reactor multiple times get more expensive, not less. This is true even during France's successful build in the 1970s, so regulatory changes can't be the sole reason for increasing costs:

In the US the mandates allow a choice to either vaccinate or get regular testing. No one is being made to take a vaccine against their will in the US at least, they must however take precautions to protect others from their risky behavior.

You have a right to bear arms here in the US that does not mean you can shoot them in a public place because that endangers others. Typically rights have limits when they impose on others rights.

Working is a privilege was well not a right, you have no right to a job at an employer (at least in the US). So the analogy fits as a privilege but it also works as a right since neither are absolute and are typically limited when they effect others around you negatively.

I remember the hype when the kickstarter ran. Not being a gamer I nonetheless thought how cool it would be to try my hands at this world they promised. I thought that once the kickstarter delivered I would test it out.

Since then I heard nothing for a long time and had more or less forgotten about it. Then I stumbled into a rabbit hole on Instagram as I clicked some scify artwork. The algorithm picked up on that and from there on forward I saw post after post from people promising credit if one joined through their recommendation code.

For me it felt like a pyramid scheme, like people trying to get me hocked on NFTs or Amway or any one of these rip some sucker schemes. At least with Amway one would have physical products albeit massively overpriced.

With Star Citizen one would have some unplayable (at least from my POV) pixels on a screen.
As I've described here (comment in thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30195830 ), it would be essentially absurd to try to go fully offgrid in our home here near Santa Fe.

That's a nice emergent feature that happens when you have plenty of competition, low transaction costs, perfect information and so on. Sometimes the real world is close enough to that one that you can pretend prices and costs are the same (although even then, just marginal costs, which doesn't include infrastructure that's already built).

But it shouldn't be even mildly surprising when they diverge; it's certainly not a lie.
