I knew a unicorn hunter (a ‘couple’ looking for a hot bi babe) in college, he was ugly as hell, his wife was uglier, that guy was chatting up more women than any anybody I know. I know he found at least one.

Because they are always hunting, they have a high profile.

Other poly people are pretty boring and have pretty normal ideas about love except that they believe (and know) you can love more than one person at a time. Such a person tends to keep a low profile and is going to get confused with bigamists, cheating monogamists, etc.

Thus it is more like cheating among mono people (who also use online dating) which is not exceptionally rare. The difference is that you aren’t cheating.

The poly community isn’t much of a community because there are big moral differences between the participants: unicorn hunters are a running gag but you have many sad couples where somebody was cheating and then forced the other to accept it. If you fly the poly flag you’ll attract a lot of people you don’t want to know so some think it is like ‘Fight Club’.
I have the same X13 Gen 2 AMD 5850U w/ 32GB RAM, and generally agree it is a great laptop. Much quieter than my previous X270 where I even had custom fan curves.

> - Came with MediaTek 7961 WiFi, which while supported by mainline Linux, the performance is trash (~30MBit on 802.11ac).

It works perfectly for me on Fedora 35 (kernel 5.15), with consistent speeds around 800-900Mbps. The AP is an ASUS RT-AX86U.

Also somewhat surprisingly, while Intel AX200/201 is faster as it supports 160MHz (I had it before), the MT7961 has been more stable for me, both speed-wise and bug-wise, so far anyway. But YMMV.

> Luckily it's only M.2 so you can replace it with something like the AX201

I believe X13 Gen 2 has soldered WiFi, not M.2.
There's also atomic habits.

It seems authors were in search of the smallest habit possible. Probably smaller = easier for readers searching for shortcuts to build willpower

Can't wait for subatomic habits!!
GameStop has pivoted to some extent. It's incredibly rare that I go into one of their stores, but the last time I did it was less of a games store and more of a gaming merchandise store. Their acquisition of ThinkGeek and subsequent selling of those products in stores is satisfying a niche that nobody else (apart from maybe the mom & pop comic book store) seems interested in.
I tried to read these tweets but halfway through twitter popped up this "see what's happening" noise and I closed the tab.

Yeah. The signal to noise ratio is way off.
I still like my T460 too, especially because Ubuntu works completely flawlessly.

Also as I was able to buy a warranty for over 5 years where they came in my office and replaced stuff without shipping and long waiting :) Had to use this once after a year when the mainboard broke (cpu freezed)

Battery time is still ~6h (bought the extra large second battery and was ~12h initially)

The keyboard + display are great (the display is now after >5 years a bit white in certain spots but nothing critical).
The CPU speed isn't that great but ok.
The sound is really really bad :)

C has nothing to do with performance, runtimes and libraries do. Nim has runtime overhead whereas C and Rust do not.

"I conclude" doesn't solve the problem either. It's still an attempt to make a conclusive statement in the midst of the never-ending epistemological crisis.

If we are to remain rational observers of reality, it is far better IMO to frame statements as "thus far, our hypotheses have / have not been invalidated based on the following experiments, which can be reproduced by following these exact steps..." along with proper control groups, etc.
The ski bricks are standard technic skis. The chain saw and is found in the entire series of kits. The arrow shape plate is a very common piece in all space kits back to the 1980, though the usually were grey or black. Often used for wings with hinged plates. I have literally dozens of those in my childhood lego collection. Antennas were on each an every space piece, though the thin and slender ones only started showing in the early 90ies. They’re still around.
Step 1. Create an asset.

Step 2. Create a wallet.

Step 3. Put ill gotten gains in the wallet in step 2.

Step 4. Purchase your own asset with money from step 3.

Step 5. Cash out.

Because there appears to be no reason behind the valuation of NFTs, it's pretty hard for the tax man to determine that "Oh hey, this doesn't look above board!". Because wallets are pretty easy to create and fund from all over the place, it makes the perfect mode to turn anonymous money into real money.

Oh, and bonus points, you still have the NFT, so see if you can't unload it on a rube for less money.
Are you saying that if you made $124,999 you owe $0, but if you made $125,000 you owe $18,750? Or do you only owe on the amount above $125k you made?
I'm curious if people like Vitalik feel trapped, or worse yet, that they have created a monster?

If they don't feel bad, I wonder how they justify the cognitive dissonance.

The right thing for Vitalik would be to recognize that this is not going to turn into what he imagined it to be, and to publicly speak out against it. Instead, he's trying to justify everything and secretly hopes that he somehow can still turn it around.

Exactly. It's the most secure and reliable accounting system imaginable.

Anyone who believes that this degree of reliability and security is not required is naive and doesn't understand human nature and doesn't understand how capitalism shapes human nature.

This kind of accounting system is absolutely essential. History shows over and over that the means of power can be corrupted will be corrupted. If you haven't figured this out by now, you haven't been paying attention... You don't even need to look at history to see this. Just open your eyes to what's happening right now.

Banks in the UK pay out a maximum of 1% interest on even the best savings accounts (i. e. the return doesn't even keep pace with average person's PoV inflation). I am skeptical of this explanation for why we should let the banks hold our money. Or indeed remain alive as anything but a source of borrowing.
"To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle. One thing that helps toward it is to keep a diary, or, at any rate, to keep some kind of record of one's opinions about important events. Otherwise, when some particularly absurd belief is exploded by events, one may simply forget that one ever held it. Political predictions are usually wrong. But even when one makes a correct one, to discover why one was right can be very illuminating. In general, one is only right when either wish or fear coincides with reality."

> Moral of the story - cars are tough and can handle much (much) worse roads that US and eastern europe think of “normal” roads.

And here we come to the old saying of "poverty is expensive". A modern, well made and maintained asphalt road is no issue for a modern car, it will require its usual scheduled maintenance and that's it.

But put the same modern car on a poor or dirt road and the maintenance expense for the car will explode: tires, springs, O-rings and other seals, rust, the list goes on and on. Pot-hole repairs in particular can get really expensive.
> I would love to know what percentage of Legos revenue is now from adults buying the incredible large, complex and expensive sets to build themselves.

If you have a Lego store nearby, stop in, and it's mindboggling how many $100+ sets they carry. Not great for shopping for a Lego Friends set for my daughter, but if I wanted to drop $300 on a Ninjago set they'd be able to help.

> Isn't it possible however, that James and Sarah would have had a child who would have become another Mozart, or Einstein?

At least genetically this is unlikely. Several hundred genetic variants explain a good fraction of intelligence and a random mixing of Sarah and James’ variants will include ones that increase and decrease intelligence. Getting a really good random mix of several hundred variants is unlikely. That is, intelligence regresses towards the mean.

I think they are saying that even the non-pro M1 machines are significantly better than the previous pro models.
Since someone’s done Hofstadter — Italo Calvino Le Città Invisibili or Invisible Cities. It’s a novel about complexity and civilisation and the difficulty and intangibility of memories, history and storytelling. It’s told in a series of 55 miniatures, each about a city that reveals some aspect of human experience. It’s like nothing else and utterly brilliant.

It's more that I have a fundamental desire to travel further than 15 minutes from my home on a regular basis, via any mode of transport.

That is to say that the feeling of being in a different place is psychologically important.

I think that most people have this desire and many of them don't realise it until they fall into a habit of not really leaving their local area (e.g. staying indoors for weeks on end doing WFH). They start to feel sad or frustrated and can't really identify why.

Exploration and novelty is important for the human spirit.
Yes, NTFs are a fad.

The research in zk-STARKs is quite interesting and has application beyond blockchain.

https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/046.pdf

A push for technology that protects privacy by design does not just address money laundering.

The fact that zk-STARKs can bootstrap on blockchains, in part because of the funding, and in part because of the blockchain's capability to be a global source of truth (which we admittedly then use for URLs to GIFs, speculate about lolcoins, and buy drugs online with).
It’s not a generic statement since I’ve literally stated in the first sentence other than for kids/throw away use.

If you are looking for a device that might end up in a dishwasher or covered with acrylic paint and glitter glue get an Amazon Fire tablet on sale, these are £/€60 new without adds and often go on sale below that.

Amazon also has dedicated “Kids Edition” tablets that start at £/€100 which comes with a kick stand and a protective case. These as far as I know come without ads and have parental control feature that are easy to use.

The latter btw is another reason to go for iOS devices if you are able and willing to spend the extra cash as Apple has actually decent parental controls for both the device itself and the content.

Yes, assuming you haven't registered any expenses. 15% of total profit (revenue-expenses=profit).

Hi there! I'm Jake, a software engineer just over 1 year of professional experience. I care deeply about people and the problems they need to solve, and learning how to build tools to solve those problems is what drives me. I come from a Mental Health background, and working with people to help guide themselves and the things they to so success is what I do. I'm looking for a remote software engineer position.

In my most recent role I worked on a distributed team to build an application that helps startups and investors connect. I worked across the stack, building a polished user interface with React before building out an Express API with asynchronous unit tests, configuring multipart form submissions with file uploads to S3, and configuring the authentication flow using Passport.js.

If your team needs a positive, multi-faceted person with excellent communication skills who can get things done, let’s have a zoom call! I know I can bring a ton of value to your team, and I’d love to learn all about what problems you’re looking to solve.

HN is supposed to be a place for civilized discussions.

I am not allowed to go anywhere I want. There are plenty of countries refusing me entry, or access to land/property or force me to abide by strict business rule (like having a national owning > 51% of any company I might create there) this is fine. It's not my country.

Plus, your "equality" is going to create other form of inequality. Any socialist countries relies on past contributions to finance most things like healthcare or unemployment income.

In my country, immigrants are allowed to get unemployment income, without contribution anything beforehand. This just creates inequality to the ones who contributed.

You seem just obsessed with equality for the sake of it.
People have history, bonding among nations take time, suffering, dedication.

You can't merely replace a Thai with a Columbian. They don't believe in the same things, they don't have the same values, they don't believe in the same God or divine figure, they don't speak the same language, they don't eat the same food, they don't use their money in the same way. It must take personal effort for someone to immigrate into another country.
I agree it's all flim flam, the random NFTs I've investigated linked to image files on Cloudfront and such. Pure bullshit.

I don't agree on going to Zero though, in the medium term anyway, it's likely to stay up in the clouds and possibly for a very long time. Crypto generally has utterly failed as currency for actual economic use, outside tax evasion and money laundering, but in aggregate is still worth silly $billions.

> What kind of greenfield projects were they, and who was making those conscious choices? Without context it's just non-sense.

B2B shop, Marketplace, lots typical CRUD stuff. I don't think there is much of a pattern.

Developers wanted to use PHP. Though of course here in Germany PHP is much more popular than in the states.

> What other technologies have you used in your experience, that came to conclusion?

For server-side stuff:

Ruby, Python, JS/TS, Squeak/smalltalk (yes actually in production)

Ruby used to have some productivity advantages because of Rails but these day, as PHP frameworks have caught up, I see many shops that did both PHP and Ruby going back to PHP.

> Name features PHP avoided while copying.

Those that PHP does not have? Not sure how to make a negative list.
Not just classical composition either, I really should not be at this point but I’m regularly surprised about “contemporary” (50s and forwards) musicians having a strong classical (playing) or formal background.

Youtube has really opened my eyes on the subject as well: there are truckloads of jazz players discussing musical theory.

Which makes a lot of sense in hindsight: properly deconstructing and playing with structures is difficult if you don’t deeply understand those structures. But I’m not really musically inclined and I’ve never been fond of jazz so I never saw this.

> The X server became a pretty useless middle man between clients and the compositor.

X is a middle man but far from useless. Just as Wayland is a middle man as well. And looking at the protocol actual access to GPU memory is more opaque on Wayland than on X11 and as such to me Wayland is a more intrusive middleman.

If you want to "cut out the middle man" you have to use DRM directly.
the preference of older thinkpads is strong and common enough that there is even a cottage industry of custom motherboards with newer components made to fit older chassis, see e.g.

And no, it doesn’t support fragmentation - it is a protocol with multiple implementations - which is a good thing! It means that noone will code against the implementation, but the protocol. (And in practice, there are very few non-standard extensions that supposed to be cross-platform. Those are mostly for DE-specific functions)
> Nowadays, most of the sets are some imaginary vehicles with Creator-style builds. You can probably build a new vehicle out of the same set, but combining different sets from the same theme is much less enjoyable. The few sets with buildings rarely have baseplates and feel very airy and unharmonic.

“Most” doesn’t feel right to me - my son’s mostly had City sets and they’re all repurposable, buildings use large flat pieces with configurable roads so it’s not quite as big but also allows more combinations than “large square”, etc. There are definitely specialty pieces but I’m skeptical that they’re that much more common given all of the pieces I had as a kid which were pretty specialized, too.
Could you provide some examples of "enable a ton of applications that were not possible before?

It was already mentioned in other threads, but you can find valuable insights in the AIP (autoimmune protocol) diet.

Its main principle is that you first eliminate as many foods as possible that are known to cause issues for people (e.g. due to inflammation, autoimmune response) and then you slowly introduce more foods and see how your body reacts.

I recently started following a similar approach in order to try to address some health issues and also to learn more about my body. In my case I'm leaning more towards the carnivore diet with occasional additions of foods allowed in AIP.

In case anyone is curious about the carnivore diet, I found these YouTube channels to contain good content on this topic: KenDBerryMD, Paul Saladino (CarnivoreMD).

I also enjoyed this discussion: https://youtu.be/Xgokvp5bfNg

It's easy to stumble upon conflicting information when it comes to nutrition, but I find that just being exposed to more options (rather than eating what everyone eats by default) can give you an opportunity to make the decisions that make sense to you.
I wanted to keep the focus on the idea and not have this be viewed as an attack on the person. However, the person has gone on to more publicly talk about their views (the linked users post) so its more clear who I was responding to so I'm willing to post the original discussion (look for the collapsed posts): https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit/issues/126

I don't think we ever had the yellow castle, although I do remember that flag. And we definitely had a set with a horse in the style of the yellow castle. So either we did have the yellow castle but lost the instructions, or I knew someone who had it, or that flag also appears in another set.

But I really have no idea. It was a long time ago.
