Look at AMD before and after the new CEO...
Wholly impractical solutions are not defensible.
But the negativity is well deserved

Look at how the crypto-sphere reacted at FEDs returning "stolen" coins to Bitfinex like all praise and "justice served". Only HNers actually raised "hey guys why do you even crypto if FEDs will decide who owns what".

It all ends up being Government-coin and they like it.
"The position is coherent" is a devastatingly low bar for the table stakes or redefining society that radically.
Sad. Love her music. So under rated and so maligned

She was too far ahead of her time. The Rock'n'Roll world was not ready for such an independent, sexual, and black woman in the 1970s
Do you understand the concept of being a fan of someone? For example you can follow a bunch of artists to see what they are working on. You can follow your favorite content creators to see what they are working on. You can follow your friends to see what they are up to.
It's at 15% and forecast to go down to 12% by 2030. Also they're raising hell for corporations in the form of regulations and taxes. Why would any entrepreneur even bother?
Well that's generally how heat exchangers work, for that reason, even in temperate climates.

I know there are some standards for recycling air in public buildings such as schools, and air born sickness seems like something they would have to worry about normally, so I would imagine they were pretty prepared for that aspect

I skimmed this but didn't really see much past the actual heat source

You can simulate the data processing of a real neuron with 1000 digital ones, a small neural net.

I think we read too much into the complexity of biological neurons. Remember they need to do much more than compute signals. They need to self assemble, self replicate and pass through various stages of growth. They need to function for 80-100 years. Many of those neurons and synapses exist only for redundancy and other biological constraints.

A digital neuron doesn't care about its physical substrate and can be millions of times faster. They can be copied identically for no cost and cheaply fine-tuned for new tasks. Their architecture and data can evolve much faster than ours, and the physical implementation can remain the same during this process.
They failed to get revenue from ads, just started a paid version that doesn't offer anything attractive for most people (I would be willing to pay a bit for a good experience), and by focusing SO MUCH on engagement without a way to opt-out, they make people hate the tool and their timelines.
Tik Tok at least has two tabs: Following and For You. On following I only see content from users I follow. But Twitter refuses to let this happen, and clutter my timeline with things I don't wanna see.

And even if I create lists for people I want to see posts from (suggestion from another post from earlier this week), I still can't make my likes not be 'advertised' to everyone that follows me. So basically sometimes I can't even give a like to a tweet if it's risqué for example, because some followers might not like seeing that and then unfollow me.
Look into Roman and Greek history. Slavery, the treatment of slaves, the attitudes towards minors (slaves and otherwise) for sexual purposes and so on. It's actually pretty abhorrent.

Another example: the origin of the word "decimate". "Decimation" was a Roman military punishment to military units in provinces that rebel against Rome. I don't believe it was widespread but it was common enough to spawn the modern word. "Deci-" here is Latin meaning "10". The punishment was this: soldiers (typically) were put in groups of 10. Each group was responsible for picking which of those 10 would die and be responsible for killing that person. The general way Rome quashed rebellion in general was brutal.

The amazing thing we actually have first hand accounts on Rome's military conquests in the forms of the writings of Julius Caesar (eg with the conquest of Gaul, which was essentially genocide). Now first hand accounts aren't necessarily accurate (eg Herodotus tended to embellish) but there are other accounts that lend a lot of credence to Caesar's accounts.
> It's the first time I hear about graph-relational DBs.

This is unsurprising, because we just invented the term :-)

> Is a graph-relational database something completely disjointed from a graph database?

Graph-relational is still relational, i.e. it's a relational model with extensions that make modeling and querying graph-like data easier. And in apps everything is graph-like (hence GraphQL etc). An important point is that graph-relational, like relational is storage-agnostic, i.e. it makes no assumptions on how data is actually arranged on disk.

Pure graph databases, on the other hand, encode the assumption that data is actually _physically_ organized as a graph into their model and query languages.

I guess the word "graph" is simply too overloaded in computing.
> I just checked and all the reports of misuse so far don’t seem to be “for months at a time”.

Its also only like 6-8 months old at this point.
Sure, but you'll have a hard time convincing people that is an effective alternative. How many people do you know who visit the official website of the White House to read press releases and memos? Does the average person know that the president used to give a weekly radio address? The medium of the message is just as important as the message itself.

I also believe AOC would be a nobody if she didn't have a Twitter account. She'd be the same as the other 435 Representatives who release statements on their house.gov website that no one realizes exists.

Edit:
>"I doubt Twitter stops specific accounts from blocking other accounts."

This was actually a court ruling. I have no clue if Twitter actually coded this requirement on @realDonaldTrump after the fact.

How exactly is EdgeDB run? Is it a separate process from Postgres, or some kind of plugin? Can I run it over an existing Postgres instance?

If I build a DB Schema in EdgeDB, can I interact with the underlying Postgres instance using regular SQL?

Then why is parameter query safer? And not just escapes variables? Escaping is hard, as shown in the article
That was kind of my point. People can buy these GPS trackers for the same price and have a stealthy surreptitious tracker. What’s new is Apple made so omg, better freak out and write eleventy-one angsty articles about them. In this case I can’t even muster an eyeroll at how silly it is.
> The “an AirTag is traveling with you” alerts haven’t been defeated as far as I can tell.

Perhaps not, but they're meaningless to the >50% of the population that doesn't have a modern enough iPhone as their daily carry phone.

Having moved back to a flip phone, I literally have no way to identify if such a tag is being used against me.
>Platforms with one click apply like LinkedIn flood companies with irrelevant CVs.

Are you sure this happens on LinkedIn, or are you just guessing that this happens? The best recent interviews I've had were from LinkedIn, since I was able to target my search there with filters for specific jobs. Companies are also able to set their own filters. While clicking apply might have only been a click or two, the filters that brought the opening to my attention and qualifying questions acted as a match between companies and applicants. LinkedIn also has badges for assessments you can take right on the site.
New plants are much more powerful than the older ones. But it's true that the relative share of nuclear is meant to go down.

I don't think the "building their own factories" is as cut and dry.
Here in Australia, many of these small to medium sized businesses do their own manufacturing in house. I believe it depends on margin and volume.

The examples I'm referring to are Rode Microphones, Cochlear hearing aids, and ResMed CPAP machines, are all manufactured in Australia (though I'm not sure all of their world-wide manufacturing happens here, they could have other factories).

Would love to get the feedback from people who may have any idea in where and why it sometimes make sense to do your own manufacturing.

My issue with Peleton has always been that the cost for a stationary bike is more than the cost of my road bike, and about the same prices as my mountain bike. From my user name, you may be able to tell... I ride, but how many people want to spend the kind of money Peleton is charging to ride indoors?

They got the early adopters who were willing to pay the price, but they may have run out of consumers. I know of a few people who LOVE their Peleton, I don't know of anybody who doesn't have one that wants one.
Self awareness is social self awareness. Viewing oneself as a social actor.
The cultural elite is completely different from having money. It is the same reason that Trump was ridiculed for putting ketchup on steak or why journalists/post-docs are willing to make pennies on jobs that grand them access the cultural elite. I give the example of Trump because he the clearest contrast that differentiates wealth from the elite.

Phrases like 'Nouveau Riche' or 'Paise aaye, par aukaad nahi aaye' (money without class) have existed in different cultures for centuries. This is not a new concept.
Thank god, you don't even know how long I spent trapped in there.
I know someone with very bad dyslexia and it's not that he didn't get a basic education, it's that he can't understand written text or menu items more than one layer deep. He calls if wants to communicate which is very endearing but I also have major misgivings with modern UI paradigms. The "three dashed lines" that you see everywhere are infuriating.

This is exactly how I learned to program as a kid—adapting Commodore BASIC code listings from magazines to the CoCo 3 flavor I had, and trying to figure out how to fix the errors.

All I really wanted was an Atari...
Based on the ads I see in my timeline, they didn't do a great job at that. I have used the service for many many years and I have literally never seen any ad that I wanted to click.

Maybe they do better for the US, but they seem to have done far worse than their competitors in ad space.
I honestly thought this stuff was going to disappear with the change of leadership but it looks like they’ve doubled down.

NFT profile pictures? Who wants this?
I have to check sources on this but to my recollection, the biggest reason for stomach cancer historically has been infection by Helicobacter pylori, which for decades caused duodenal/stomach ulcers in many adults with doctors only treating the symptoms instead of the underlying cause (the bacteria), because they simply didn't know how common it was as a cause of this problem. After Barry Marshall and Robin Warren showed in 1982 how it caused peptic ulcers, treatments for ulcers changed and gastric cancer rates fell from what I remember. Those two doctors even won a nobel prize for their discovery.
Are you sure you know what 'persistent' means in this context? Because I cannot see how network booting leads to the kind of persistence we're talking about. In fact, you seem to be describing technologies that help in implementing the exact opposite.

Also, you've missed the point of the Linux comment. I'll spell it out: typically people who revere UNIX in the way described have never in their lives used a UNIX system other than Linux (unless it was MacOSX+, of course). Is that relevant? Not really, that's why it is a footnote.
It's amazing that such a simple vulnerability can be leveraged in practice to gain access to so many machines on so many different organizations. Props to the researcher!
And if so, what does it mean? I have no idea what that split is supposed to illustrate and how the image would have looked without a filter.
Right, but conceptually the way you interact with it is the same. I'm not trying to belittle what you've done. I'm in fact very excited about it.

And EdgeDB is very needed because it's just an Apple library currently.

Conceptually, my impression is that EdgeDb is relational tables (highly-typed) queried, combined, and modeled as nodes in a graph/tree. Is that conceptually correct?

I don't, but I would like to if I could deploy Swift code to Azure. I love Swift as a language.

It's a tricky situation to be in. I try to believe that I cannot time the market, time in the market beats timing the market... but just can't bring myself to buy into it right now. It's been so long since we've had a recession, and it seems like we've forgotten the lessons of 2008. It may not be subprime mortgages this time, but lots of people seem to believe asset prices only go up, much like they did in 2007. Maybe this time really is different, but I don't believe it.
They've actually screwed up the very basis that made it useful though, they reduced control over what users can elect to see, they've completely wrecked real time timelines, and they are covertly ratio-ing user accounts so that even their subscribers see posts later than they are completed or even in many cases not at all, and now they're marketing to users (main contributors to all the platform's content) to pay in order to boost their posts... The whole business model is like telling people they can ride electricity generating stationary bikes in order to charge up teslas for the wealthy.

I've never seen any other tool as productive as it boched terribly... Facebook was never really as useful for real time news and events in nature (mind you).
Good podcast episode interviewing the book's author: https://overcast.fm/+Jf3pmRSrw
This is interesting, and it causes me to reevaluate my stance.

At least we have to agree on what we mean when we say that "end-to-end encryption works". I think there are `shades' of "working" if you will -- for instance, I know I mostly ignore when the key material changes in a Signal conversation, and this could be used to fool me. But then we have to talk about attack vectors and what we want to be protected from. I think it's mostly large-scale data collection and analysis rather than targeted attacks (like the CIA might do).

At any rate, thanks for setting me straight. I will read the paper!

Apple released an Android app that lets you check for AirTags separated from their owner near you: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apple.trac...

Of course you have to know about it and it only provides scanning when the app is open instead of constantly doing it in the background like iOS.
You currently don’t fuel up at lodging/hotels, home, or other destinations besides gas stations, but with EVs, you absolutely can. This reserves EV fast charging installations for those who are actively traveling or have no other option at their destination.

This is really just a function of how much charger gear and batteries to buffer charging are deployed, and it scales without much trouble unless you’re somewhere with non developed world electrical infra.

With that said, four chargers is pathetic but unlikely to matter based on the majority of US EVs sold being Teslas (which already have a robust supercharger network to rely on).

Hi, I'm one of those people in the PR advocating for this change :) I think you may have missed the point of comparing the security aspects to NPM. By saying "it's no less secure" it's not saying "well it's just as bad, so what's the point?", but rather "given that it doesn't introduce any more vulnerabilities, what does this model unlock for us?"

HN comments probably aren't the best place to go in-depth on this topic, but just off the top of my head, HTTPS imports allow a greater detachment from a centralized registry, something we're seeing used a lot in the Go ecosystem, and we're moving server-side JavaScript closer to how browser JavaScript works, which is a good thing for anyone using the language, as it reduces friction across the board. This might not be something obvious for people working mostly/only on the backend, in which case those frictions aren't as apparent, but they are there nonetheless.
That makes me think of how many times I've had to ask people "what does the error message on the screen say?" or tell my parents "the words that it says on the screen - read them, the program/website is trying to tell you something". When it comes to software many users are functionally illiterate because they don't even try to read alert windows or error messages, assuming that they will be meaningless.
The credibility I'm referring to is: when Jerome Powell says "we have the tools at our disposal to control inflation, and if it persists, we will not hesitate to use them", how much do you update your expectations of future inflation and interest rates?

If statements like that start to sound like a bluff and no longer cause you to update your expectations away from high inflation and low interest rates, then the Fed has lost a certain amount of credibility. And that credibility should be thought of in some sense a conserved value. It's not regained instantly, but rather only by the market being surprised to discover that the Fed wasn't bluffing. And that's an expensive surprise, because by definition, it goes beyond what the market priced in.
> On the contrary, it only forces those providers to have a European presence.

If the EU has this much power to regulate operations that happen in America, then imagine how much worse it's going to be if you relocate your operations to the EU? In that case you actually become one of their subjects, rather than simply recording information about their subjects.
From an investor standpoint, dividends and stock buybacks are roughly equivalent. Both are ways of returning cash to investors. Buybacks can be more tax efficient for investors using taxable accounts.

I used Visual Studio for 20 years or so and came to rely on the wizards / automatic things that it provides for .NET development i.e. the right-click deploy container to AWS function that comes with the Visual Studio AWS toolkit is pretty good, but frustrating because you are limited in how the deployment occurs.

Turns out I was much more productive when I switched to mixing in a lot of CLI after I trialled VSCode.

Now, I think I would rather have a mix of a less capable IDE (i.e. a glorified editor) and rely more on CLI where it's appropriate. It's a more flexible approach and you get to understand what is going on under the hood, which means you have a better shot at scripting the more complicated bits of your build process.
Those days are long gone. France's nuclear industry is fueled by a legally-mandated diversified supply, chiefly from Kazakhstan, Australia and Canada.

Really? I can describe pretty precisely why I hate it. I don't have an account, so when I get a link to Twitter, I see one or more of the following:

- A reply to someone else that I can't see, so I now have no context about what I'm looking at. It's like coming in in the middle of a conversation.

- A normal tweet followed by a set of replies that appear to be incomplete. There are a bunch of buttons to press to "see more". Often when you click on them there's only a single additional response, not a very long thread, so it's unclear why I had to click to "see more". Other times there are several back-and-forth replies in a row shown, most of them inconsequential. What decides whether I need to click to "see more"?

- Bots, crypto scams, misinformation, ads

- The entire interface appears to be an overlay over something else. Like it looks like you're reading a popup that you can dismiss to see the actual content. But when you do that, it shows you something unrelated.

- Sometimes, but not always, I see the tweet I was intended to see, but instead of seeing replies, there's a bunch of completely unrelated tweets below that where the replies normally are

I'm old, so it's probably me, but I just can't parse a Twitter page because it's so bizarrely laid out, and so much of the expected content either isn't shown, or is hidden by default, and so much unexpected content is shown. Call me crazy, but I don't have time to figure it out just to read someone's hot take on the latest trend.
Interesting, for me that makes the consistent strong sentiment here against cryptocurrency and especially NFT's all the more surprising.

I agree that a number of Western countries did take advantage. But I wouldn't say that the divide was Christian vs non-Christian. There is a lot in Christianity which can be quoted to support very non-individualistic ideologies. It is that certain societies which happened to be Christian had did develop individualistic ideologies.

But Christian countries have our share of organizations such as the Mafia where family and ethnic group are paramount. Christian history is full of brutal totalitarian states and violent killing.

Separately https://www.pewforum.org/2017/11/29/europes-growing-muslim-p... suggests that rumors of an Islamic future for Europe are premature. And as Muslims integrate, their advantage in birth rate is likely to decline, and net conversions are away from Islam. As a result, long-term, I see no reason why Islam will grow to be more than a significant minority.
