So you have the right to request a lawyer, but you can’t say “can I get a lawyer?” (cue “may I go to the bathroom” from English class), you have to make it so unambiguous it’s not entirely clear what exactly is the phrase you have to say. Thus a seemingly-rigid law being bent beyond reasonable interpretation.
That is a solid take. It's also the reason we have the second amendment.
I think it's because we've gotten so used to seeing the riches and happiness of other people on social media and we see our merely neutral happiness as something to strive away from.
Ask HN: How do you reconcile your paper and digital notes?
I have been using a ~/notes folder with markdown files edited with vim on my computer and markor on my phone synced with syncthing. That works well. But I am also a fan of paper notes and find that they "stick" better in my memory, and I am more conservative and intentional with what I physically write. However I end up with an out of sync feeling - some information stored digitally, some in a notebook. I've been considering strategies to address this.

One strategy I thought of is to use a single markdown file like the Hamster system [1] and alphabetize the sections; then I print this file and take handwritten notes onto the print out; then when the diff is large enough, I update the markdown file, print it again, and repeat. The main disadvantage is needing to reprint the full file for what could be small changes. To address that I have considered putting a page return between each letter of the alphabet, so each section starts on a new page.

Do you have any strategies to effectively synchronise paper with digital notes?

I usually love rands but first 2 paragraphs were pretty bad, and sadly the "ceci n'est pas une pipe" vibe kept going back to the first image. This IS Leia, and not Carrie Fisher - Leia is a character, and it could be animated afaik.

Also, I mean, "How does our brain know its CGI? It doesn’t." - then it proceeds to list the ways our brain knows it's not a real human.

Point remains, rands is way smarter than I am, but this sounds like a stream of consciousness turned into an article to hit a quota. I also prefer meeting humans IRL than over zoom.

Somehow trying to turn a critical comment into a positive, do watch "VFX Artists React" from Corridor Digital in YouTube (and their own website) where they list the specific oddities of a scene and why our brain can't quite parse CGI as human yet.
the three funnest things i did in the waning age of the phreak era in the mid-2000s in highschool:

1. finding this test extension number, xxx-4111, which i broke the truancy bot with which would call everyone's parents who had skipped class that day from the nortel meridan pbx and inform them that their son or daughter (name) was skipping (period). this test extension number cut out the line for noise testing completely for a few minutes, so the bot would just skip people ahead of me too whenever i would skip class (Almost every day, I had more fun taking girls out to do bad things after convincing them I broke the robot, zero regrets). I think it's called a silent termination test line - you might be able to find your own here: https://www.sandman.com/colookup

2. finding another number on that test extension. i think it was xxx-8111, and since this was a toll free extension this was dialable for free from payphones. you waited like 30 seconds hearing nothing but silence, then a dial tone. you could dial anywhere for free with this. none of the phone company employees i've asked seems to know wtf this was but the school was close to a headquarters so i'm just thinking we were on the same trunk. and back then, you could just download gargantuan phone number lists in .txt format from people with waaaaaaaaay too much time on their hands like phonelosers for fun numbers to call. was hilarious when some friend of mine made the mistake of trying to print this out cause it was filled with obscenities and stuff without realizing it was goddamn reams of paper. he used some dead kid's account though so he didn't get caught. haha i think the guy who did those lists went to jail, rbcp?

3. getting onto my school's intercom. *, 5, 1 and boom that was it. I found it handscanning. I only went on to actually say something the last day and I just pretended like I was crazy when I was caught so they let me go. I think the girl who went on after me was like GRAD '07 WOOOOOOO!

I think a couple of these could still be done.
To note, credit card companies are open about this in the contracts you sign, and it’s their core business model so there is no possible surprise element.
A case for self-aware technology
If one adopts a secular perspective, then human consciousness is represented through our (biological) neural network.

Extended, our entire brain itself is a neural network, imitations of which are already being built at very small scales for real world use cases.

If the 'laws' governing a neural network transmitting and processing information is able to be 'downloaded' (e.g. through either neural implants) or understood (E.g. simulations), in a similar way to human genome sequencing where the underlying code may be interpreted, it could be understood and replicated.

One possibility is human consciousness could be uniquely identified and replicated, much the same way unique DNA sequences are identified. Another, that an entire human's mind could be represented as a massive neural network which would contain consciousness though unable to be partitioned.

It seems to be using normal debit / credit card payments behind the scenes, so it’s not going to eat the banks’ lunch too much just yet. What would be really good is if they could do A2A payments and circumvent the Mastercard / Visa merchant payment rails and fees. That could be a game changer.
Probably because many people who follow him on Twitter have no idea what running a startup is like, so they are imagining a completely different context. Business plans do make sense in other contexts.
For people familiar with python, the first one is immediately understandable, and the second one is incomprehensible. Learning Perl may have been a better choice long-term, but this might be a good stop-gap fix for those who know Python already.

I hate to sound so cynical, but the only people I've see jazzed about meetings are business types who are uncertain what they want in the product, and engineering talks them through reality of "well we could do this or that", and sometimes it results it clarity and excitement for them, e.g. "Yes! Okay!"

> The issue is that in communities like HN and most important where the judge and police come from, this can seem more ambiguous.

No, the issue is that the police will dishonestly feign misunderstanding of any potential ambiguity out of institutional interest, and that (especially elected) trial judges are, for the most part, inclined to do the same out of personal political interest.

Genuine, good-faith cultural misunderstanding is an insignificant issue; it may sometimes be present, but it's not anywhere close to the dominant issue.

I've memorized the instruction manual for the Boeing 747 plane, and watched all their official training material. But I've never actually set foot in a cockpit or simulator. Care to be my first passenger on my maiden voyage?

The obvious problem here is semantic -- "experience" is often used, rightly or wrongly, as a stand-in for "knowledge". Plenty of kinds of knowledge are very difficult to aquire without experience. You can't read/watch your way to being a successful pilot, or rock climber, or leader.

Well, it is very rude to request attention without any sign of what you want to discuss and no indication that you will even be there to say anything once you get the person's focus.

I completely understand where you are coming from. But rest assured, your politeness is stressing the people around you and lack of it will at worst perceived as rushness.

If you're doing any front-end dev work, take a look at https://replay.io . It's a true "time-traveling debugger": load your app in their custom browser, record yourself using the app (and reproducing a bug), the recording gets uploaded and processed on their servers, and then you use the debugging UI to investigate the code _at any point in time during the recording_. That includes full stepping debugger, variables inspection, integration with the React DevTools, and even retroactively adding print statements that print and show the values _at every time that line got hit during the recording_.

I had a chance to play with it live during a recent Redux livestream just before New Year's, and I learned a few things while using it:

Also btw, I'm the creator of Redux Toolkit - if you do have any questions or feedback on RTK, please let me know! In particular, last year we released our "RTK Query" data caching API as part of RTK 1.6, which eliminates the need to write any actual data fetching code yourself. If you use Redux but haven't had a chance to try RTKQ yet, you should give it a shot:

Yeah but Facebook is primarily an advertising company, and one of the biggest advertising companies at that. They can much better leverage this data and milk it to a much greater extent. People aren't going to your bank or credit card company in order to buy ads targetting you.
Right. We both know you're going to ask a question. So fire away.

I don't mind a "Hi." followed by some [user is typing] followed by the actual question. It's the naked "hi" with nothing else. The "hi" that's just dropped there awaiting me to confirm that I'm now a part of a conversation I know nothing about.

Emails have subject lines and require the sender to write out what they want. Phone calls leave me the option to pick up or let go to VM if I'm not available. But DMs are the worst of those two: text like an email, realtime like a phone call.

For some reason those seem to correlate with users who want me to do their work for them, or are about to drop a request that I have no time for—and don't even have the time to explain why it's not my domain or a good fit for my schedule. These are requests I'd love to get via email so I can respond on my own time. Or as a voicemail. Or even as a written out DM.

But not as another message in "a conversation we're having now."

Nobody here is arguing that. FUD is a real thing. Be careful not give them ammunition.

But that's an enormous "if" that the vast vast vast majority of that big scary number getting patched don't actually have to deal with. The point isn't getting compromised is a minor inconvenience it's that what the VM protects against is such a rare major inconvenience it's multitudes of times more inconvenient over time to constantly deal with the smaller inconvenience of running browsing through a VM instead.

What is fascinating here that looks like there were multiple highly accomplished researchers and decorated experts in multiple fields, that played the game without anybody questioning whether manufacturing a Russiagate story on behest on one political candidate against another, and putting all their expert weight and reputation behind it, is a right thing to do. And looks like now, still nobody is questioning their role in this, at least nothing is seen about it in public.

Usually, we say to a conspiracy theorist "it's not possible, too many people would have been involved, somebody would have talked or blew the whistle". Here, nobody blew any whistles, as far as I can see. Is it time to adjust this estimate?
Wow this looks like an ad for what a PC ad would have been 30 years ago. It's weird looking and maybe not there because of the bulky VR headset but I'm so excited to see where these things are heading. Hopefully within a decade we will see a much compact looking vr headset that would be not bigger than actual glasses and just the thought of having multiple monitors like this anywhere makes me so happy. I really hope they are able to reduce the size of these VR headsets and it really feels we're finally on the verge of another tech revolution.
I understand business plans, but balance sheets? It seems like you'd want to know the financial picture of a company. What else to you look at to, even at the most basic level, determine if the startup is going to be able to pay it's AWS bill and payroll that month?
I'm in cambridge MA and our condos are about the same appreciation, even though the building needs some love.

I think overseas buyers, who like the fact that an association takes care of the repairs and services like these type of properties. Even those that moved and rented have ended up selling to those that have never seen the property except in photos. Our building has no rules about %owners living in the building so its gone from about 80% 20 years ago to 30%.

> But the MAJORITY of plants in the wild get the MAJORITY of their nutrients from mycorrhizal fungi. Something which is not present in sterilized soil.

Great comment, thanks. I think people forgot how to farm in 20th century. For example, my grandmother grew up on her parents’ farm, and managed it until the early 2000’s. She didn’t do the farming, she just told the guy who actually did the work what to plant. After grandma passed away my uncle took care of the leasing for a few years. Now Bill Gates probably owns what used to be Grandma’s farm.

At one point grandma started doing no-till to preserve the topsoil, but I think this might have been just spraying with roundup before planting corn and soybeans.

I have a National Geographic magazine, circa 1995, about the Frogs Leap winery [0]. This is an organic winery in California. The author talked about visiting a neighboring conventional vineyard, and how that soil was totally different than the soil at Frogs Leap.

I would just love it if a project using something like this came out that allowed you to use a VM run old versions of applications (EG: perpetually licensed adobe products) that are no longer supported. Bonus points if they let us adjust the date that is presented to the VM so that the subcomponents that Adobe did not get a perpetual license on (EG: face recognition) that were sold as part of a perpetually licensed product continue to function. I literally have an old Mac Mini running an old version of macOS and its only purpose is to run Lightroom 6. I'd love to not have to do that.
This. The best deterrent to crime is giving the criminal something to lose in the case of being arrested. And no, taking away freedom isn't really much of a deterrent if all you have to your name is $100 and a few sets of clothing and some old furniture.

I bet people with steady jobs and with secure housing commit crimes at a rate of 0.1x (or less) of those who don't.

Grand juries are really only used in half of states, and even within that half, mostly for very serious crimes (IE life imprisonment or death).
100base-T1 and 1000base-T1 are indeed the old OPEN, and are indeed what's deployed in production cars. 100 Mb PHYs are available from multiple vendors, and are mature and quite pleasant to work with (built in TDM for detecting wiring issues, etc). 1000 Mb PHYs are rarer (I've only seen Broadcom in person), but it's clearly coming. The 100- and 1000- protocols are pretty different; both are really focused on allowing cheap crappy wiring, but this is hard enough for 1000- that things like FEC are added. The equivalent of PoE for -T1 is PoDL (power over data lines), which is much more civilized than PoE (no transformers); and since 1000- runs at a higher lowest frequency than 100-, it's significantly easier to get power over it with smaller inductors.

I'm not too familiar with the current state of -T1L, but the little I've seen about it in the past was a focus on taking the advantages of -T1 (low wiring cost, simplicity, robustness, PoDL) and applying it to industrial applications, where MUCH longer cable runs than in automotive are desired. While I was following this was mostly done by adding in a 10base-T1L physical layer, giving up an order of magnitude of speed in exchange for an order of magnitude or two more run length. Don't know if there's any intent to have faster -T1Ls, haven't followed that far.

10base-T1L, 100base-T1, and 1000base-T1 are all pretty different physical layers, although they share some principles. I /think/ the Broadcom 1000base-T1 PHY can run in 100base-T1 mode, and maybe even auto-negotiate (yuck), but they're quite different under the hood.
I love Dino! I want to tell all my friends to install it on their ... oh. Oh no. They use macOS and Windows.

I don't mean to be a downer, but if you want to reach a lot of people with your amazing software (not saying that you have to, but it seems like one of the intentions of the project), it's a good idea to get them where they already are.

Side note 1: Vala/GTK could be an amazing app development platform if the cross-OS story was clearly (it can absolutely cover desktop OSes and I think even phones, but how to do it isn't very clear and most GTK apps don't).

Side note 2: Dino seems to be co-developed by the guy who makes microG, another great piece of software (replaces Google services on Android).

Side note 3: It would be great to see an XMPP revival. Quality clients like Dino are a key part to this. An important part for that may be another standardization effort with a low number of groups of clearly defined XEPs to support some functionality (a huge problem appears to be the sheer number and fragmentation of XEPs).
I wholeheartedly agree and have experienced what you are presenting.
