> The basic concept is that the soul or spirit (what makes you who you are minus your physical body) is eternal (has always existed and will exist forever) and that you will continue to live various lives or forms of existence.

If they have always existed, wouldn't that imply that there is an upper limit to the number of souls and therefore the number of physical life forms?

From this one could further deduce, for example, if human population goes up then other animal population must go down?
Talk to me about reducing energy from nuclear after you've done something to reduce energy from russian oil and gas

what did you do?

I donated money to the Ukrainian army.

Like I said, a special kind of stupid. Keep driving that SUV in your fight against Russian oil.
And Elon didn't really have anything to do with the success of PayPal.

He bought Tesla. He didn't actually create that company.

A lot of what is attributed to Elon Musk is pure BS.

He is great at marketing, but not the "genius inventor" that many seem to think that he is.

These people are really good entrepreneurs who had a lot of luck on their side, but they are also severely overhyped.
Yes, the concept applies to all bank accounts.

As I said, Nostro is also used for own accounts. The account refleting the position of the bank (its own money and assets, not the money or assets deposited by its clients) is also called a nostro, at least in Europe.

I've had tinnitus as long as I can remember with the exception of one day: the first time I had my ears cleaned. Earwax compacted to being rock hard was pulled out and I was told that it had probably been building up in my ears for more than a decade. I was 17 at the time. My ear canals are very narrow, there's a lot of hair in my ears, my wax is mushy rather than flaky. Also, I had a lot of ear infections when I was a kid.

That was the one and only day I heard silence and it drove me crazy. I constantly made noises to make sure I wasn't completely deaf. The one thing I remember vividly actively hearing was the turning of a door knob. I could hear all the little individual metallic sounds instead of a single generic crunch.

The next day, the ringing was back and has never left despite further ear cleanings. I am 49 now.
Very timely for me, as I unexpectedly had to ditch my 14-year-old gas Mini yesterday (frame rot because I live in New England). I was aware of this issue, and had already started doing winter-range calculations as I shop for an all-electric replacement. Mostly this will be an around-town second car so range basically doesn't matter, but the one long trip I might want to do is 160 miles in winter. I was figuring I'd need 200+ nominal to feel comfortable, but the models I'm looking at are above 90% (not bad IMO) so it could be a bit less. Turns out it's a moot point, though, because there's basically nothing except some Porsches and Audis that are above 170 but below 215. FWIW, here's a handy table for anyone else in a similar shopping situation.

That's totally understandable. I certainly don't think driving a car is a moral failure or anything. I just personally try to avoid it as much as I can because, from my perspective, it's not worth it for me or the other people involved. Ideally I would live in a world where nobody needs cars to live comfortably, but for now all I can do is optimize for myself and organize to make it happen for my grand children.
In practice one can question any order. The real question is whether you can make your disagreement stick. And that often comes down to circumstances and personal power and connections.
Leaflet is literally my favorite piece of software. So refreshing compared to any other web framework I have had to work with. Thank you for creating it and of course go Ukraine and fuck Putin!
doesn't really matter if the car 'tells you' you are running low on battery - if you are not near a charging station, it is a real problem, wether you believe it or not.
By default copyright exists so by doing nothing you are copyrighting your work and preventing people who want to be in the legal clear from being able to use it (OSS games for example).

The best you can do is watermark your art with CC0 and/or include the license or a link to it in the file metadata.

But pretending we are living in a post-copyright utopia severely limits the reach of your work.
Meetup is great for discovery. Sure, your own site/discord is nice going forward, but people aren't as likely to find you by browsing on those.

Although I haven't updated my perspective about meetup since COVID started, so while I thought it was very useful before, and believe it still is, I'm not sure it's traction survived (or resources if it faded)
If you select your stop for charging on the Tesla screen it will preheat the battery so the charging go way faster, especially during winter (compared to not heating the battery)
The unions in slovenia opose the reduction of income tax for workers (after years of saying that they want to tax the capital more and work less). So yeah... unions in some places are politics first, their own pockets above that, and workers fifth.
S- didn't become za-. It's just a different choice of preposition in Russian.

S utra = "starting from the morning"

Za utra (utrom) = "after the morning"

Both have a right to exist, just slightly different original meanings.
The article mentions Norway, and it also highlights how many electric vehicles perform nearly as well in very cold conditions, though some (particularly from GM and Ford) do much worse.

> In Norway — where half of all new cars are plug-ins — tests show that EVs lose about 20% of their driving range and take longer to charge in cold temperatures, according to the Norwegian Automobile Federation.
Fantastic, this is exactly the game, thanks!
It's about more than money. Workers should have veto power over management decisions that hurt the business' viability or that would violate ethical values. It is the next inevitable step in human institutional evolution--democracy making it's way into working life.

Some companies don't unions because they are built in. Messer Construction and Gore Industries are two examples. They are employee owned , operated, and managed.

Hi,

I don't have any numbers, but I wouldn't say there was a lot, because European cities were pretty established, so hard to start a new life there. But I do know that people from my Mom's village were doing trades with Europeans, and my Great Great Grandmother, was called Marianna and my Great Aunt was called Juliette. They also could speak French in the early 1900s, well before WW1 or WW2. Many people think that French was introduced after WW2 during the French Mandate, but Lebanese have been travelling overseas for a long time, and had ties to many countries. I think I read somewhere that even going back to 1600s they had ties to France.

On the other hand, there are also ties to Greece from the Orthodox side that date back > 1500 years.

But getting back to Europe, I would say mass migration were popular to South America, especially Brazil (from my Dad's village, many people went there, in addition to the US, and North America. I even met a Lebanese friend from Curaçao, and when I was at his house, they didn't speak Lebanese, they spoke Papiamento! Basically, they adapt and learn whatever language is needed. Remember, Lebanon was once a Roman Province (although Latin wasn't spoke everywhere), and before Greek language was prevalent, and before that, Syriac (western aramaic). In the year 600, Arabic started moving in. So having to learn new languages is not new in our history.

So far, what I've done is take my Dad's stories, and try to link them to actual records, and so far he's been right! He loves history, and my mom is a walking encyclopedia of family names. They know the villages the names come from.

Oh, I even found graves listed in the US from early 1800s with the name Khouri, and it was of a soldier. I suck at US history, so whatever war was back then, there was a Lebanese person there.
im just happy theres one more destructive force taking on the NYTimes.

i hope i live long enough to see the company perish.
Have you seen what happened in the finance world with respect to Russia recently? Feels to me like it is perfectly possible with the right Zeitgeist. Pretty much all the on/off ramps for Russian money are gone at the moment.
Could also just be a temporary thing for now. Wasn’t long ago when signing things over the internet wasn’t a thing. People adapt slowly to changing technological advancement. Businesses can take even longer to adapt (requires then to fail + a new generation to bring along new ways with them and supplant the old way).
My experience as well—I went to a Montessori school up through Kindergarten. I absorbed enough that I could coast without learning any new math until 3rd grade, when we started doing long division. My teacher either didn't notice or couldn't help when I started suddenly struggling. It put me off math for the rest of school.

It's still a sore point for me 30 years later. I do a lot of graphics programming, and I know I have the type of mind that can handle complex math, but I missed that fork in the road.
If the Ukrainians push the Russians back to Russia then that is a de-escalation. The Ukrainians are not the aggressors here. I see no reason Ukraine would cross their own borders.

If Putin decides to escalate to nukes as a final act of failure then the de-escalation would be the complete annihilation of Russia as a country. In minutes.

The idea of getting away with a tactical nuke strike is insane.
The name is so atrocious that I have misread it as Unilicense for all these years, only realizing how truly bad it was a decade later.

> it's not reasonable to expect the following driver to constantly be considering the possibility that the driver in front will slam on the brakes for no reason.

It's totally reasonable. It's not hard to maintain a safe following distance. Sudden braking isn't the only reason to do so, and insurance claims aren't the only motivating factor. You drive defensively so as to reduce the likelihood of death and destruction while making life easier for other drivers.
You’re definitely right about the price, but I bought a PC anyways for the freedom it gives.

You can emulate older games, get games for 1/4th of the price on second hand market and choose your store.

Paying 60$ for 5 year old games on my switch changed my view on console gaming.

Even if there’s a lot of room for games in the price difference between console and PC, I’d rather pay the higher fixed cost up front and then have cheaper and more games.

Maybe it’s just an ideological thing though and doesn’t make complete economical sense.

> The whole internet is showing the first signs of a digital Resource Curse [1] brought by crypto mining. Crypto mining changed the economics of the digital world in such a drastic way that it is poisoning all kinds of internet interactions. It is not just about disrupting how money used to work, it is disrupting every kind of interaction, even those that had nothing to do with money. Things that were completely economically neutral before, so people did them just for fun, can now be exploited to extract value, so naturally some people do it and the previous innocent/neutral status quo is lost. For example: most free unix shell providers, a fun tradition from nerds from the 90s, had to shut down because now there is such a big economic incentive to abuse such free service.

I saw someone was downvoted for calling you an asshole. I guess that doesn't really follow the spirit of HN, but it's crazy to me how much we have normalized driving dangerously as a society.

We have seemingly decided it's perfectly fine to drive in a way that puts others at risk of death or serious injury. It's to the point that if you call someone out on it, like the other commenter did, you're the one in the wrong. Yet they were just calling out a person for putting other people's lives at risk. We should be condemning driving like this, just like we condemn many other activities that put other's lives at risk.
I just hacked my 3ds because nintendo is closing the eshop permanently. It uses GPUs to exploit something in the OS based off of known keys. The power needed to crack the code in 1-5 minutes requires powerful GPUs. Are you suggesting if NVIDIA decided to block something like this, I do it with pen and paper?
> driver fell asleep - Autopilot is programmed to come to a stop if driver input is not detected

Hopefully it slows gently, signals a lane shift, and parks on the shoulder with hazards on, rather than slamming on brakes in the middle of the highway with cars close behind.
I’ve been using it as my daily driver for a few years and like it. I didn’t turn on OS notifications so didn’t get the same pop up you did.

I like it because it’s built in ad blockers do a good job of reducing traffic and simplifying browsing. I can configure blockers in other browsers, but it’s one less thing.

It’s also small compared to chrome. I like being able to have small downloads because my home internet is only 50Mbps.

It also prompts me for updates and doesn’t run any secret background agents that occasionally flip out and peg my cpu (like chrome does). I don’t care enough about timely browser updates to have a process that just watches for this.
Which I acknowledge above. You can ban exchange to fiat but it will only reduce value, not completely eliminate it as there are protocols which derive value from defi ecosystem itself.

I.e people will start directly using these currency for payments (which they already do) without exchanging to fiat. The stability is maintained by the defi collateral and shared acceptance.

So you would have to ban everyone to accept crypto currency and so on as payment but that is very catastrophic decision with large implications.

It also doesn't help crypto completely eliminates centralized authorities when moving across borders.
I was already known that Epstein had a criminal conviction for involvement in underage prostitution from 2008.

So anyone associating with him after 2008 should not have the benefit of doubt.

I can fully understand why someone like Melinda did not approve of her husband having any sort of relationship with Epstein.

I get what you're trying to say, but if anything, you're just making the case for Tesla software.

Consider that there is a range of drivers, from "good" to "bad". If most drivers go decades with zero collisions, that's great, and it probably puts me closer to the "bad" end of the spectrum. By your own admission drivers like me should explore avenues to reduce our risk. Why is Tesla software not a valid avenue?

If you're a "good" driver, you don't need it, and that's fine, you can get some other car or drive with autopilot off or whatever. But for us "bad" drivers, the software makes us safer (both personal risk and to others on the road) so why not use it? What other avenues would you suggest exploring?
>Given how bad people are with money, the number of people who can't pay their taxes would skyrocket if withholding is replaced with the scheme you are proposing.

If I was optimizing my actions based on what would create the most anti-tax sentiment, this would be a positive outcome, not a negative one. What's worse than a bill from the government? One you can't afford to pay and that causes you to take on debt.

To be clear I'm not optimizing my behavior on such a metric nor advocating for others to do so. I was talking about the purposed hypothetical of lawmakers who were making such an optimization and what sort of laws they would, in theory, be supporting.
Im pretty sure if software development was unionized a brighter light would be shone on disastrous offshoring in the last two decades.

A lot of people lost a lot of money for a lot of shareholders with a lot of disastrous projects and by and large it was shrugged off and swept under the carpet as management realized that tech couldnt be treated as a production line affair.

I'm not the donation type myself but I think in this instance you chose your target wrong, as us, Romanians (I'm from Romania myself) have genuinely really tried to help our Ukrainian neighbours in these very dark times for them. I'm not going to give links to news stories, google is your friend for that, is enough to say that many of us, Romanians, were very pleasantly surprised ourselves of the whole thing, we're generally a little on the nihilistic side, so in a way that was also good for our national psyche.

Back to your question, and I can only answer for myself, yes, I would expect pretty much the same reaction and help that we gave to the Ukrainians from our neighbours if all this had happened to us, no matter if they're Bulgarians, Serbs or Hungarians.
I was confused about this.

I presumed Antonov Airlines was a Russian airline, so I was wondering why the Russians would destroy their own planes.

But Antonov Airlines is a Ukrainian company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonov_Airlines

The plane was designed in Soviet (Russian) Ukraine (ie before 1991) to carry the Soviet (Russian) space shuttle.

edited to say Soviet, not Russian
I've seen videos of teslas on 2 lane roads slam on the brakes for cars coming in the opposite direction. Absolutely terrifying.

>so technically we are a nuclear state without any weapons present at this moment

You'd still be prevented by NPT (which Ukraine is part of) like all other non-nuclear states, even without the Budapest Memorandum.
The idea is that a tactical nuke requires at a minimum proportionate response. The history of large attacks is that the response is always disproportionate. A German plane accidentally drops their bombs on London leads to a dedicated air raid on berlin leads to the blitz.

A tactical nuke used against Kharkiv would certainly lead to either a Ukrainian dirty bomb strike against Moscow and or a NATO intervention. Why would Russia stop at one nuke when fighting NATO? For each tactical nuke against NATO you would expect at least one in return, or worse a megaton +x% for megaton exchange.

This spirals into full nuclear war very quickly once one side believes that they are going to lose without strategic weapons, or one side believes they have been or will be the victim of a strategic attack.

Speaking of, how long until the country with all of the old Soviet weapons facilities decides to re-enter the nuclear club?
I posted this as a fan of Interlingua, as the name makes clear this is a project from the same philosophy of constructing languages.

The page on Orthography shows the sort of care I would expect from such a project: http://steen.free.fr/interslavic/orthography.html#standard_a...

Your idea of signs and notices could be written in both the Latin and Cyrillic orthographies, and be more legible than not for more than 300 million people.

Interlingua has similar advantages for anyone fluent in a Romance language.
Are you against any measure that allows any force to be used against any subset of the homeless population?

> it seems very obviously a move to force miners to use more GPUs in parallel

This is very obviously wrong. The economics of crypto mining are almost entirely dominated by power cost. Nvidia's decision here simply means they will use other hardware, not more of the LHR hardware.

Nvidia already can't make enough GPUs to satisfy demand. Why would they try to increase undesirable demand (which is going away soon anyway, at least for ETH).
That's your opinion, let it be different from mine
> also storage of natural gas is problematic.

I think the GP's "buy it up" meant the pipeline, not gas.
As soon as someone crashes, that congestion is going to go way up. In very specific conditions where a road is congested already, slowing down does cause a cascading effect, BUT, if everyone is already maintaining a proper follow distance, it takes longer for the road to reach max congestion in the first place. Consider it like a bunch of springs all lined up spring wise; if you have the same number of springs, and you’re trying to insert a new spring (someone is merging), the springs which were less compressed will more easily accept a new spring, while the ones where are already compressed will experience more strain.

And imo, I’d rather be going slow because “we’re going the follow distance” than going slow because “someone went too fast in an unsafe condition and crashed (or worse)”. In the face of sheer car volume, we’re all going slow(er, though note that we’re usually still getting there faster than a horse would have) pretty much no matter what, might as well be safe while doing it.
