Likewise. I think, “can hold liquids, handheld, might be hot or cold,” probably a white ceramic comes to mind, maybe something I might have seen at IKEA. No handle, no decorations, a cup isn’t defined by those and they don’t show up in my imagining of one. Smaller in diameter yet about as high or maybe a bit taller than a bowl. Bigger than a thimble, roughly the size of my hand, or easy to palm. Probably in a kitchen or on a dining table. It’s all rather conceptual for me.

What’s weird for me is if I do the reverse, and instead of trying to jump from visually imagining a cup to associate other senses, if I instead think of the feeling of a warm cup in my hands, I can more easily imagine what it smelled and tasted like, and even a particular memory comes to mind too. But if I try to do the reverse, such as visualizing that same memory as a picture in my head, I can’t recall the heat or other details, I end up thinking of either concepts (words) or it’s like a photograph and flat, not real life. For me, associations from “imagery” are harder than other kinds of associations and don’t have much impact at all. Strangely, I can associate positionally, though. E.g. that something is on a third shelf or inside a closet, and have that trigger memories. But I can’t do so by remembering what the shelf or closet looked like.
That’s a good point.

But I still wonder what happens when we can cheaply generate orders of magnitude more energy. I don’t see how we would be stopped from causing problems with it.
The real issue in a situation like this is the use of the Agile Story point BS to create competition between developers in order to have leverage exactly this to push back against the Engineering team with. You need to have a Dev-only meeting so Bob doesn't feel specifically called out and talk about how you all want to negotiate the interests of Product/Business with the dwindling engineering situation, i.e. Tech Debt.

Bob, and others like Bob who live to impress management with their personal 'agility', will implicitly feel more pressure to not go against the whole engineering team if you're able to reach even near-unanimity about what that strategy will look like, in this case, perhaps coming to agreement about how certain tasks will be pointed univocally, amongst other possible strategies. Your only obstacle at this point is a head of Engineering whose interested in their own career over and above his team.

Agile SCRUM exists, largely and for the most part in my experience, as an abuse to prevent this kind of 'collective bartering' on the part of Engineering.

The Inquisition was a truly horrible desecration against many unfortunate human beings.

What I know of the Gospels makes me believe the Inquisitors were in no sense followers of Christ.

(Of course, the Inquisition has nothing to do with the point I was making, but that point was itself a rabbit trail, so I suppose turnabout is fair play.)

> Nobody has a problem with small decent ads without tracking

I do. When I want to see products, I'll explicitly ask for them. Nobody is allowed to grab my attention unsolicited. I have attention deficit, it's hard enough to focus as it is and I really don't need entitled company thinking it's okay to just hijack it at their convenience. I really couldn't care less about their "legitimate business interests" or whatever.

When email users do it, we call it spam. When applications do it, we call it focus stealing. Advertising is just yet another form of abuse that should not be tolerated under any circumstances. If they won't stop, we'll make technology that will make them stop. We don't need to apologize for it or try to reach a compromise with them. Their business model is unacceptable, period.
I don't support low interest rates as I think it's a bad policy that hurts the low income earners and society at large.

My impression was that that is precisely the whole point of this project: to draw attention to the gaping hole in the photos, to highlight the crass censorship which led to these photos being suppressed for years. The hole _is_ the focus of the photo, hence why the title is 'The black hole photographs', to highlight that these photos were chucked into a black hole.
Titles are important for pay reasons, as they correspond to pay bands. People that say titles don't matter are probably already making outsized compensation and don't find it important because their resume speaks for itself.

A manager and director can be doing the same job, but the title matters in terms of their compensation and potential title at their next job.
All the camera operators here in the US are totally corrupt. They have been caught all across the country lobbying and bribing politicians.

> TikTok was nearly forced to sell parts of its operation so it could continue operating in the US, in India it's actually banned.

Yes, that's a great example of protectionism that was reversed.

> As good as DDG is, it's not that great of an example as all the background tech there still relies on Microsoft's Bing, which means there is very much a US-centric search engine monopoly in place.

DDG is not the only privacy focused search service. There are others with their own homegrown search engines. I believe some of them are French. This also reflects consumer demand. DDG only able to evolve and grow based on how many people want to use the service.

Came here to talk about BJJ. I'm doing BJJ and MMA classes 4 days a week and it's been a gamechanger for me. I'm a formerly very fit guy with military and athletics experience, but for almost 10 years I've been sitting in front of a computer all day every day and it's started to have terrible consequences.

I've lost 15 lbs in a couple of months and my flexibility has improved a ton. Back and hip pain is almost gone. My crummy shoulders and knees hurt though, but they always do.

The BJJ gym is also a pretty cool social environment, which has replaced the office for me (WFH). I prefer the company of Jiu Jitsu enthusiasts over my old co-workers anyway.
I think the most intuitive way of thinking about this is sphere packing. Asking what percent of points are within distance d of an n-sphere of radius 1 is equivalent to asking what the ratio of volumes is. For d<1, the n-volume of a radius d sphere tends to 0 as n goes towards infinity, so that means almost all of the points are as far away as possible.
While I didn't reply with the same degree of hostility as the GP, I had the same emotional reaction to your comment. My immediate thought was "who are you to say what I 'need'?"

I'm self-aware enough to realize that this is because of a larger cultural struggle in the US between "rural" and "urban". It's not quite that simple, but that's a close enough approximation for the conversation at hand.

The rural people on the US feel like we are constantly fighting a system in which we have no voice. We're subject to regulations that we feel to be frankly ridiculous; regulations that get in our way, make our lives more difficult and expensive, and most of all... don't even serve the purpose for which they were ostensibly designed.

In that context, the GP's response to your comment is understandable.
I think fragmentation and looking after one's interests aren't even opposites. Analytics in particular seem like a very lopsided value prop: the american entity (Google) stands to gain from collecting analytics but doesn't really provide a perceivable equivalent value through the analytics service to the affected parties (EU consumers) in return, as you'd normally expect in a fair trade policy between two countries.

Looking at it from this angle, it seems perfectly reasonable for the EU to dislike the specifics of the analytics use case while still being ok with something like Google Docs.
Seems like a lot of new node features are in response to competition with deno's offerings. Neat to watch.
For reference, see the book High Dimensional Probability by Vershynin. It's free online. See Theorem 3.1.1. It proves that a sub-gaussian random vector is in some sense close in norm to sqrt(n) where n is the number of dimensions. Most of these results are true up to multiplying by some unknown constant.
In the USA at least, Vice President has a strong connotation of the 2nd most powerful person in the goverment.

Most companies have one or more people titled as such, yet not all of them employ the Vice President of the USA.
> I read somewhere that the body proportions of Neanderthals are within the range of body proportions of modern humans, and research suggests that there was interbreeding between Sapiens and Neanderthals.

Of course there was interbreeding. Their smaller population was bred into the larger Sapiens population. This is why most of us (Caucasians) have some percentage of Neanderthal in us.

The BSDs fall into the class of server/desktop systems. They would be a great choice for certain classes of products (e.g. routers) where there exists strong feature alignment, but not something I would consider suitable for producing my usual minimal custom embedded systems.

Generally, esoteric hardware support also will be better in Linux, so BSD would likely require porting or writing more drivers when bringing up a custom board.

That said, BSDs have not my strongest area, so I would be curious to see others’ experiences and opinions.
When I started, no other providers had the K8s features I needed.

Perverse incentives exist. 100%. However, they are studied as a failure in the system, something to fix. They are not designed or intentionally created as part of the system as the parent comment posits.
Yeah that's pretty rough at 23%. But still, I think it'd be a stretch to infer that all those children are being raised by one person. Many parents are divorced, but still actively participate in raising their child.

Further, some of those 23% are bound to be temporary situations. My initial gut reaction to your link just says "whenever this census was conducted 23% of minors had only one adult in the house."

Not trying to downplay the issue of single motherhood, but the statistics available just seem fuzzy.
I think so.

I don't even think "covid burden" was the topic, depending on how you define that it could mean the demographics most at risk hospitalization (as overwhelming hospitals seems to have been the concern, and justification for lockdowns). It was only defined as people acting as reservoirs and vectors. This is essentially the entire population given that experts believe catching covid is inevitable, and that the virus can persist after exposure, including in the gut. So the only distinction I can see being made in this context of inevitable infection, reservoirs, and vectors, is vaccine status. Which is not a great dividing line. Basically, my whole point is that in the context of reservoirs and vectors, there's not a reasonable basis for a division into two groups.

> However the author seems to be saying because the business is not profitable that makes ads morally correct*?

As your edit admits, this is not at all what I said. To expand a bit--I think there's a big distinction between advertisement in a fundamental sense and how advertisement often is implemented today. I think that advertising can be done in a good way, and I'm concerned that too many people dismiss advertising altogether because of things like real-time bidding.
> iPhone/Apple represents an example par excellence: Planned obsolescence, dated features, software deprecation, false narrative

I feel like people say this and then don't provide any decent examples. iPhones hold value and are usable much longer than most Androids thanks to Apple's willingness to support the devices.

HN loves to hate on Apple but I don't find these examples and arguments very compelling.
There are no absurd levels of death.
Average COVID death per day since the outbreak is likely lower than the average death from cigarette smoking. And people die from cigarette smoking since years and years. Million in the last decade in the US alone. And there is no doubt that cigarette smoking also increased COVID death.

Another way to look it it is birth rate versus death rate.
Globally speaking COVID death would need to be at lest one order of magnitude higher to stagnant growth. The 2 year pandemic made the global world population lag by about a week. So in a week we have the same number of people as we would have today if there were no COVID. Its that insignificant.

On a population chart over 100 years COVID will be p much invisible, a tiny tiny slow down of the growth. There are no absurd levels of death there are just many many humans and thus the death number feel subjectively high.
Everything you need to know about the bill that could blow up the app store
I understood the point entirely, and you are correct that if inflation continues at this rate for decades, what today are small expenses like lawn care will eventually become the dominant term, eclipsing my mortgage. But I would wager we will have bigger problems should that eventuality come to pass.

Also, don't forget that increased inflation also eventually leads to everyone's compensation increasing. As I am in "everyone"," it will net out. If inflation moderates over the next few quarters/years, the likely impact to me is that I will earn more and so my largest expense (which is fixed!) will be proportionally smaller. But yes, I will pay more for plumbers and the like so I will be impacted by the cycle.

From a real value standpoint the cars have to be depreciating. You’re presumably putting miles and real wear and tear on the vehicle. There’s a perfect trifecta of reduced supply, increased demand, and inflation.

I’m not sure it’s worth it to upgrade in all cases; the corners cut on the newer vehicles might mean that the newer vehicle is of a poorer build quality than your existing one.
I had seen it on the front page several times, but every single time I clicked on it, there was no context. Where did it come from? Did it first go viral on Facebook or something? I think my ignorance is likely due to not being on social media anymore. I quit all of it to improve my mental health.
Unless I am presented with some hard evidence (that isn't from the German state) then I find it hard to believe.

It still doesn't justify curtailing individual liberties anyway.
If removing threats of violence is considered censorship, then the word "censorship" has no meaning. Think about it: how does censorship really occur? Do governments cast a magic spell that makes it so that the words can't come out of your mouth? No. They threaten violence[0], in order to punish you for saying the thing you don't want to say, which creates a chilling effect. This is no different than what Nazis do - they threaten violence against people whose speech they don't like.

At that point, the choice is not between "freedom of speech" and "censorship". It's "censor the Nazi" or "let the Nazi censor everyone else". You must choose the option that preserves the most freedom of speech.

And this goes for every other entity that threatens violence - not just Nazis. I'm only mentioning them because we're talking about the German legal conception of freedom of expression. Nobody says "I'm going to kill you" for the sake of it; they say it to terrorize other people into doing things they want, including things like not saying words they don't want spoken. This also goes for threatening violence against groups of people rather than speakers of certain words, and political speech that proposes using the state as a means to do the above. All of that is censorious, and as far as I'm concerned a definition of freedom of speech that does not include freedom from threats of violence is incomplete.

That being said, censorship by terrorism should be construed narrowly. One might have thoughts of, say, radical Islamic terrorism while reading the above paragraph. This would be an example of censorious speech. However, ISIS, Boko Haram, and/or the Taliban making use of censorious threats does not mean that the entire religion of Islam is guilty of the same thing. Same thing for Nazis or neo-Nazis - they don't make Christians or neo-pagans valid targets of censorship just because they happen to belong to the same religion.

[0] Or at least, some long chain of escalating legalistic rituals that we call a lawsuit, which is backed by the government's monopoly over violence within an area. This is a distinction without a difference.
This is the "just don't have technical debt" argument. Which entirely misses the point.

Why can't you dream of that in other countries? I come from Sweden and I don't see why swedes baby have those dreams (or realize them in Sweden). Example multi billion dollar companies; Spotify, Klarna (to name a few). We do have SAAB Aerospace and we do have launchpads for rockets. Then, we're less than half the inhabitants of NYC so our course it's less chance that we at any moment in time have any people building rockets than the US (with 30 times more people).

I have a hard time seeing we're unique.

It's extremely unlikely that the jump was from bats -> humans just based on how 'optimized' the ACE2 binding and furin cleavage sites are.
