I don’t have any trouble with the two universes, conceptually. I have trouble with the infinite others. I don’t understand the idea that the two convenient universes are represented by the wave function, but the infinite inconvenient ones are not.

But maybe the answer is that all universes are somehow represented by the wave function and I just don’t understand the implications. This might indeed be the case.

I tend to agree that this is deeply unsatisfying, regardless. Many worlds is interesting but also feels extremely far fetched. It honestly feels a little bit like “we don’t understand this yet, must be magic”.

We’ve invoked an extremely complicated phenomenon to answer a gap in our understanding. And maybe it’s true, but that’s what ancient astronomers thought about the wild paths planets took, too. “The math works out with circles in circles. Occam’s razor, amiright Ptolemy?”
I can't speak for Namecheap, but I'm happy to speak for myself. I don't think your characterization of my comment is entirely correct. I've broken down what my comment is and isn't intended to say in detail below:

My comment is intended to suggest that people coming on the internet complaining about protests against Russia's war bear some small degree of responsibility.

My comment is intended to suggest that whatever effort they are putting into those complaints, would be better be used if it was spent against the Russian government.

My comment is intended to suggest that people living inside Russia do bear some extra degree of responsibility for this, though it is by no means anywhere near equivalent to them doing it themselves. When people do things in your name, using soldiers supported by your work (taxes if nothing else), some small degree of responsibility comes with it - even in dictatorships.

My comment is intended to suggest that the degree of responsibility is somewhat higher for the relatively elite class that most people acquiring a domain name belong to.

My comment is not intended to suggest that being ethnically Russian, or being born in Russia and having left the country, comes with any degree of responsibility (past that of what everyone has). I can see how you could interpret it that way, but I don't think that's a reasonable or charitable interpretation.

My comment absolutely does not say that they are morally required to revolt despite the high personal cost, nor do I think that it could properly be interpreted to say that. Rather it takes the extremely limited perspective that it is morally wrong for them to spend time and effort complaining about actions intended to stop this travesty. And my comment observes that one way to reach that conclusion is to notice that the effort would be better spent working against the people causing this travesty, instead of the people trying to stop it.
Russian citizens should not suffer for their political leaders' decisions.

Citizens should be held accountable to their own actions.
They're brittle. The sharper spikes snap off quite easily.
Price equality is not the goal. Price transparency is. Microeconomics 101 is that market participants need pricing information in order to best allocate resources as supply and demand curves shift.

The more easy and quick it is to ascertain prices, the more quickly and efficiently resources, such as labor, get allocated.

Price transparency does not mean sellers have to pay the same price to everyone.
"No it doesnt because is not a democratic country, why is it so hard for people like you to understand that things work very different in a democratic country than in non-democratic country?"

I sympathize with this position but I also feel conflicted because despite the enormous amount of evidence that Putin was a bad guy as recently as 2017 he had 80+% approval rating. If had not had large scale popular support for most of the last 20 years despite his anti-democratic anti-freedom behaviour would he be in a position to execute this war?

I don't have good answers for this question but just as democracy isn't just having a vote political support in a non-democracy isn't just having the legal use of violence at your disposal. It is challenging for anyone from outside Russia that wants to oppose his regime to find a way that doesn't hurt ordinary Russians if most ordinary Russians mostly have supported him.
> I forget the name - maybe REST client?

yes. `humao.rest-client`
> So yeah, I am happy that this thing is making Russian civilians uncomfortable. Hopefully they will be uncomfortable enough so that millions of Russian citizens raise their voice and stop this madness, before it is too late.

Is there a strong precedent for this? The USSR did fell due to economic hardships but a lot of factors are different when we consider Russia. A Russia with a destroyed economy will probably be just another country under Chinese sphere of influence.

This is total ignorance of western history. Even the French Revolution only succeeded because it pitted the incumbent nobility and high clergy against the very rich merchant class, who in spite of not being nobles by blood, ran all the factories and the French colonial settlements abroad. For source read the relevant books by the Durants, on both Rousseau and Napoleon.

Broad based sanctions assume, completely wrong, that Putin’s (or any dictator’s) power comes from the common Russian people. Wrong! And that’s why sanctions will only hurt the common Russians and keep Putin and his cronies in power for decades. In reality, he draws his power, like all other dictators, from an inner circle. These would be the oligarchs, heads of military and police and some others. This is where the sanctions should be targeted if the intention is to effectively change the regime. Hurting the population does not mean the pain will trickle up to the inner circle.
IIRC there was an infamous (at the time) user hostile commit made to a Google product (Android or Chrome perhaps) where the author was obfuscated to something like "Android Dev" instead of an actual individual.

TBH, from someone living among them (not Russia, but close), I can't say a single good thing about putler's supporters. This includes many of my own relatives. They have the same internet access we have, but prefer to eat up whatever TV is saying because it makes them comfortable. It's absolutely useless to argue with them or provide any facts, you'll just get nowhere. The propaganda proved to be remarkably effective.

I was brainwashed by Kremlin propaganda and believed in their holy mission until I was about 18 or so. Then I got a proper permanent internet connection and started looking up information from alternative sources. I could not in good conscience support what's been going on in the region since at least 2008.

Now we're basically fucked because of what's happening. Again, I am not from Russia, but our economy will be buried along with theirs because they're highly intertwined. And I'm pretty sure they'll invade us sooner or later.
It's definitely personal. But it's people you care about being bombed kind of personal, not asset risk.
I understand your argument, and personally am looking to find some way to contribute baby formula to Ukrainian families from India. If you know any way, please let me know.

But sanctions end up hurting many more economies than one country's alone. There should be a way to help countries which will end up with a significant problem for issues that were not even caused by their government, but some foreign government altogether. The farmers of India are a struggling lot, and this is a whole lot of trouble they don't want when summer is just about to begin.

Yes that's how business works. Have you seen Microsoft being hit by this for example?

From a business and operational point of view is just a silly move to have your business in one country, especially when you claim to be a "US business"

To me look like that of US here you've only a pool of directors, is more a Ukrainian company to me. Many Ukrainian companies have been hit as well, but they're not multinational businesses and don't use HN to voice their concern.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not justifying the war or anything. But from a business point of view, if I were the CEO I would've opened another office somewhere else and transfer know how from the Ukraine branch given that the situation with Russia has been tense for a decade now.

I hope this explains it
There are some well-thought out lists:

https://80000hours.org/problem-profiles/

https://www.ycombinator.com/rfs

However, something about them doesn't click. I don't think most of these are inspiring. It's best to solve problems that you personally face.

A lot of people run the calculations, and think that the most impactful thing they could do is help out some poor country. But they usually don't understand the root cause of those countries being poor. So they throw money at wells and education, when the real problem might be crime rate and gangs/corruption.

It's probably best to solve problems locally. Even if you're in the richest country in the world, there's probably a "backyard" that needs your help. I know people from small American states who would be grateful to not grow up as truck drivers or forced to work below minimum wage on a farm.

There's plenty of us who are in developing countries who understand the challenges of a developing country better too. Much of the problems in Malaysia/Malaya for the last 50 or 600 years has been a shortage of tech. The region has always been rich. Tech led to colonial conquest and later on, income disparity as the rich used technology to buy better mining/agriculture equipment and muscle the poor out. There's still a robber baron culture here. Discrimination is rampant - it's normal to get rejected for race, looks, or gender (especially if you're pregnant). It doesn't matter how much money you put into educating young women if nobody wants to hire women with degrees. And since people tend to copy "more successful companies", this culture is permeated.

It's funny to read HN and see comments who say unicorns won't improve the economy. Just the fantasy of having unicorns has improved tech and culture a lot. The power structure has shifted away from employers. Employers are giving much better terms, especially to disadvantaged people. So people are now able to live better lives, and it frees a lot of intelligent people who would otherwise be forced to work two jobs to survive.
FWIW, the author joined the Marko core team at eBay a while back.

> Shells have relatively simple operational models, so _any_ API would probably be workable for shells.

You'd think that, but implementing the UNIX shell and all of its semantics (piping, redirection, waiting, child reaping, jobs, foreground/background, prompting etc) using fork/clone + exec* is way more simple than, say, on Windows. Some API designs are better for that specific task
The Russian government does not exist in a bubble, it can only function with the functioning of the Russian economy. Russian individuals are gutpunched by every sanction, the families of Russian soldiers by every death.

If you don't want consequences for your citizens, don't go to war to enact consequences on other countries' citizens.

The best way is likely to send it to a known contact in Poland who might be able to pass your good on to people traveling to the border at the checkpoint, there are tons of good moving like that at the moment (and I mean actual tons). If you want I can ask a friend in Poland who may be making another trip to the border but I'm not sure how you would get your transport inside Ukraine done and there is a fair chance that the good would not make it to their intended destination for a variety of reasons. Also there are already shortages of many goods in the region.
Ask HN: How would we know if Russian Internet trolls are active here?
The more I read on Reddit/Hacker News, the more I think there is brigading, trolls, sockpuppets that try to sway public opinion. Does Hacker News potentially have this problem?

I agree with everything you said, except for that last line. I think we (USA and general "western" identity) claim to be willing to let it happen, but only in words. I don't think that stance will last. Time will tell, I guess.
The problem is understanding and measuring either of those events with any precision. Even if we somehow could, time also seems to move faster/slower depending on the strength of a gravity field in which it is being measured. I think this makes it really hard to pin down dates near super massive objects... and also means that our linear perspective of time completely breaks down on this scale. eg: where is the reference time located for a few billion years just after the big-bang?
> OpenBSD: The FAQ has...

That's basically the answer to every OpenBSD question.
I swear we're just going around in circles because people only have a surface level understanding of these front-end frameworks, and the challenges with building at scale.

react isn't about 'hooks', 'jsx', 'top-down-state', or 'component-driven architecture'. All these frameworks are component-based, can have top down state only (or do bottom up in react), can use things like jsx/hooks because it's just syntactic sugar (vue has jsx support).

react is fundamentally about 'inputs changed, render this'. This got rid of a lot of issues with poor code because frameworks had crappy DX (angluar 1 scope nonsense, and overengineered DI concepts), and people were bad at tracking side effects because a lot of people just wanted a search bar with some cool features and not everyone was building sophisticated products.

That setInterval example is fundamentally against what react is, and is basically svelte/vue/(react + mobx).
As if the west has ever cared about these things, when it comes to India. /s

Our conflict with Pakistan exists because the US wants to hold back India's progress and needs an excuse to interfere in the indian sub-continent. The US is still one of the consistent arm suppliers of Pakistan that has mostly always been used against India (3+ wars and counting). This despite the fact that India is a flourishing democracy that respects western values, while Pakistan has had many dictators over the last 5+ decades. Even during the Bangladesh liberation wars, the US threatened India by sending its nuclear fleet to force it to back down. They have consistently created hurdles or denied us access to technology to cripple our defence research and development (once even offering major concessions to Russia so to deny us technology transfer of cryogenic engines used in rockets and missiles). And yet, despite the underlying US suspicion and hostility against India, we have progressed and earned the goodwill of the international community on our own merits.

(And I won't even get into the geo politics of what it means for India to be under the political sphere of control of Russia ...).
But that's not how the world actually works. We aren't playing a game of pretend, we're playing a game where generational wealth can afford a good lawyer and get you out of a jam when your young and do something stupid. A world where a good education is bought by your parents by sending you to a private school. A world where networking in an ivy league school (most likely paid for by your parents) can make networking connections with the most influential and rich people in the world.

Conversely, Living paycheck to paycheck changes the way your brain works. Having to worry about where your next meal is going to come from, or if your going to have a place to live in a month really fucks with you. Money buys better health outcomes, and if you don't have the money, you don't have the better health outcomes. It doesn't sound like you understand this.

I know, I've lived both sides.

And yeah they are desperate to make that point because most people born with a silver spoon in their mouth don't realize the privilege they have, or the value of what they've been lucky enough to be given. Sound familiar?

That's only true if you win the war against those who would judge you. Ukraine isn't the judge.
I guess they can also say tough luck to you, because they don’t think preventing people from posting old commits that are credited to an unverified email is that important. Just accept that we don’t verify it as a fact of life; you can’t be sure of commit ownership.
Except when those people fight against any proposed changes to the regulation, or actively influence the development of the legislation in the first place, at which point many people perceive them as using their resources to further entrench their privilege.
To what degree can current ML models and techniques for self-driving understand what's happening based on data captured at multiple time points, maintaining object permanence?

For example, if a a car is stopped at a red light and it sees a child across the street running and the child runs behind a truck it will take her 5 seconds to get past at her last observed rate of speed, and the light turns green at a moment when the car would hit the child as she emerges from behind the truck (given the preceding) as it drives by the truck, do any ML systems have the ability to predict this?

People would likely be cautious if they saw the same scene, and would approach slowly. I don't think that current ML systems are able to do that, but would like to hear some informed opinions.
All of this also applies to the sanctions making the ruble and Russian stock market crumble. It's a piece of a larger whole.
It’s just a desire for revenge. Whatever solutions this approach promises are imaginary.
>Your reasoning is in the right spot, but the erosion of trust and the blanket nature of your decision right now is going to hurt you more than help anything.

Children especially at a couple years old have terrific memories and a lot of time where it's dark, they're expected to fall asleep, and they are not actually asleep. Goodnight Moon gives them lots of things to think about in that context.
Or it may be because the military has shrewdly shifted their priority from operational capability to ensuring peoples' feelings don't get hurt.

Maybe the technology will work a little too perfectly so the generals will helpfully circumvent the civilian government and phone their friends in the CCP to warn them ahead of time so they won't feel offended.
Absolutely. This sort of virtue signalling should be frowned upon. I have over a 100 domains in namecheap which is a drop in a bucket I'm sure for them but I'll be moving them to porkbun.
I hate when corporations do hypocrite virtue signaling pretending to fight for just cause. Dudes, Putin and government are not using your service, real people are.
You are racist and nationalist scum pretending to be just.
This is wrong. While I support all of the sanctions against Russia on a national level, individual companies should not be able to make such decisions based simply on politics.

I agree with you politically in this case. But that's just a pure coincidence. Next time, we might be on opposite sides of politics. When I select a registrar, I don't want to have to take into account the arbitrary politics of the management, because they won't always agree with me. Even inside your company, the next CEO, or the previous CEO, or your co-workers, will always not agree with your political views.

Besides, you can see that your approach often harms the wrong people. One guy in the comments below is a Russian who has been working to oppose Putin's regime for years, and now you're actually hurting his work in Russia. You responded by allowing exceptions to your policy. Are you ready to review tens of thousands of applications for exceptions on a case by case basis?

This is a dangerous precedent and you should be better than this.
I too could use some more clarity around the use cases
> What was very unclear is where those deuterons got their energy.

Yes, and that was because no energy source was being used to start the reaction; the metal with deuterons in it was just sitting there.

In these experiments, an energy source (gamma rays) is used to heat up the deuterons to start the reaction. That's a key difference, and it's why a different term from "cold fusion" is entirely appropriate.
All the general touristy stuff is worth doing as it’s all quick and interesting! We stayed a couple days in the city and then almost a week in a tiny tiny group of houses a short walk from the beach just outside of Isabella and enjoyed the quiet. Isabella is basically an 80s tourist town that is now unpopular, perfect for my trip.

Other than that, if the Airbnb price near the city is too good to be true.. avoid it :) not everywhere has recovered well! You can pack light and just buy most of what you need at Walmart also. Very easy and approachable trip.

It appears from the wayback machine that they added the COVID precautions on or around November 11, 2020. https://web.archive.org/web/20201111235211/https://www.ready...

A reminder that at that time there were no vaccines available, and the US was seeing a fairly large increase in both cases and deaths.

So someone was tasked with adding COVID precautions to this document then, and they have not been removed.

The idea that disease is a non-issue during a disaster (nuclear or otherwise) seems rather myopic. After a disaster, resources will be scarce, people may have to fend for themselves for a while or travel because they've been displaced. Why you wouldn't take reasonable and simple precautions to not throw disease on top of that is beyond me.

It also mentions not using disinfectant wipes on your skin, which is likely because it can cause irritation. Skin irritation also seems like an "absolute non-issue" and yet you aren't taking umbrage with that.
