Imposing the emission of a 1000HP truck onto other people's lungs is a good example of bad taste.

Designing a car-centric society that denies access to good quality transit is authoritarian.

> excelling at craftsmanship. It gives people jobs, reduces income inequality (transfer of wealth from top to bottom) and propelling culture forward.

Citation desperately needed of all those claims.

Travelling is most CO2 intensive when air travel is involved. It would be fine if faraway travel took more time. But yes, in any case, we need to reduce air travel.

And don't forget that they are also optimized to the lowest common denominator of American and Chinese sensitivities.
Shackleton was rather renowned for being, um, headstrong. If he got an idea in his head, that was what would happen, and how it would happen.

While this may have been endemic in them surviving, it was equally relevant in them ending up in the situation in the first place. Whalers at South Georgia, where they set in before heading for the continent, warned him that the sea ice conditions were unusual, and that he postpone a month for the sea ice to move. I forget which of his crews’ journals it was that has the account, but to say he was dismissive would be an understatement.

In addition, their provisioning was all over the place, he having paid more attention to which brand associations would be profitable than what would store well or provide adequate calories in the conditions. He did the same on his previous expedition, although the shortfall was made up for by pony meat, as the ponies, which he had been advised would be ill-suited to Antarctic conditions, were, unsurprisingly, ill-suited to Antarctic conditions. Oh, and he brought a car along, which also went as well as you’d expect.

I guess he’s a role model for the idea of move fast and break things, and for the idea that ignoring the advice and wisdom of others will get you into interesting situations.

>Russia wants to retain it's great power status in the world

Russia can go fuck itself. Nobody cares - or should care - what they want anymore.

And the "power status" is already nothing more than a story - the one only fools can believe in.

>Russia will now level your country to the ground. There is no "standing with ukraine", that is just asking for more cities to be destroyed.

Tsk, tsk, tsk. Two weeks of war, and they managed to take Kherson and are busy trying to destroy Mariupol.

Looks like "arming us to our death" had an opposite effect, friend.

Wake-up call: you don't just level the largest country in Europe with a population of about 40 million people.

And if you do, you still don't win. Cities can be rebuilt. Any sort of support of going along with Russia cannot be, at this point.

>we will not save you, we will only arm you to your death.

Yes, please. Can you start now?

In terms of deep contributions to a variety of mathematical science type fields, probably no one. People might say Terence Tao, and of course no offense to him he is extraordinary smart and widely knowledged, but in my opinion he hasn't made the same level of deep contributions to mathematics let alone other fields. From what I've heard and read historically to be considered one of the "greats" so to speak you had to have full mastery of a field, either by starting it or revolutionizing it (funnily enough von Neumann was criticized for this by other mathematicians in his time). An easy example is Alexander Grothendieck, who is considered one of the top mathematicians of the 20th century. He revolutionized algebraic geometry and homological algebra. For von Neumann the most obvious field would be operator algebras. Of course the reason for mathematicians these days not being as "creative" or "revolutionary" may just be that all the low hanging fruit so to speak has already been picked, which in my view is the most obvious reason, so it's significantly harder to make deep contributions compared to times past, but it is what it is.
Euh, you call it war efforts. Military interventions were always related to promoting democracy in countries. Since it was something the population actually wants, the amount of casualties were always low, eg. interventions were there are '0 boots on the ground' are preferred.

That's not what's happening now by Russia, since Russia has no interest in promoting democracy and considers it a threat. Russia has more casualties in a couple of weeks than the combined military interventions over 20 years by the west.

There's a very BIG difference.

The magic ingredient that makes cycling home drunk surprisingly safe (I carry various scars documenting the limitations of that safety) is that it usually happens at night during a time of very low traffic intensity. Be very, very careful about applying drunk cycling confidence earned in the night to the odd daytime drinking occasion. Far too many things happening at the same time to keep aware of, feels like running out of RAM.

Low traffic intensity is a two-sided sword, it can lead to speeding and to inattentiveness. But those downsides are much less pronounced for cycling than for driving: for speed it's obvious (yet all of my scars from cycling drunk are purely from liking to go fast, nobody else involved), but the difference in terms of inattentiveness is even more pronounced: sitting out in the wind on a two-wheeler that almost but not quite balances itself is so much different from sitting in a comfy chair surrounded by entertainment electronics peeking out at the world through small windows and a set of mirrors that even the sober rarely use to is full potential.
ISO 8601 is bad, use RFC 3339.

A lot of implementation are actually based on an ISO draft which changed in final release. But most dev do not have access to the spec. For example, timezone can only be specified as offset in the standard, while implementations accept name.

Globally avoid ISO for software, it is non free crap.

Also, do not use those standard for dates with timezone in the future. Use wall time/date and location. As timezone can change way more often than you think.
Many have drastically reduced it, I think you assume too much environmental cynicism.
I think all media you mentioned have similar effects and all have both Hollywood and indie areas.

I mean, some sports games are definitely hollywoodized with "let's just swap some colours, change 2021 to 2022 and charge another $70". On the other hand Bill Wurtz still releases new tunes on YouTube and Ben Levin continues doing... Ben stuff. In movies you can still get quality indie productions like Joel Haver's full movies. My random selection of course, but the point is, there's definitely indie stuff available if you want it.
Getting better and better at solving problems (here: in a broad range of mathematics) at an unconventional rate makes it uncanny.

It seems like magic. As everyone doing magic tricks knows there is a lot of effort going into a good one. The "innate abilities" or "genius" is the "magic" we all like to experience.

In the case of "von Neumann" he isn't isolated.

He is often lumped together with other Hungarian Jews fleeing Nazism and refered to as A marslakók ("The Martians"): Erdős, Kármán, Pólya, Szilárd, Teller, Wigner ...

Hungarians are a curious bunch, aren't they?

Arguably the strongest female chess player of all time (in the same class as the strongest men) is also Hungarian: Judit Polgár. How do they do it?
There is no magic, no genius, her Hungarian father wanted to prove exactly this to the (western) world (in the east the notion isn't prevalent).
And he simply conducted the experiment[0] consequently his youngest daughter became a so-called chess genius. Or as a Korean or Chinese might say she is doing the hard work.

We all like to tell ourselves stories and it is fine, it is a great and very effective way to convey certain things but sometimes we lose sight of what is really going on because of our infatuation with the narrative devices. Instead of learning and trying to explain things, we sometimes just want to indulge in the "magic moments". But as Feynman put it nicely: you can do both one doesn't exclude the other.

FWIW, conveyor (or just any other static logistical mover) vs independently driving robots (or even crewed systems) is a valid spectrum that you apply in both internal factory logistics (from workers driving, through automatic robots, to conveyors and internal trains) and nation-wide systems (lorry vs. train, pretty much)
This is true, but more of a problem than you're making it out to be. In my country all channels are clearly on the payroll of a certain party. For example, if there is a political debate, they'll have pre and post debate interviews with only one of the candidates, make claims of his victory no matter how badly he screwed up, and always allow him to interrupt the other guy. This sort of stuff really undermines democracy.

"Invaders" is the properly distinguishing keyword here. So, that makes your comment conflicted.

That doesn't negate the fact a non-corporal entity is making big decisions for groups of people, while also holding their shareholder's value (another group of people) in mind.

One way to break conflicted or dissonant views is to ask direct questions about the conflicted statements. Where others have done that, you appear to have evaded answering the question.

Ok. Ymmv apparently, had a Di2 bike near me bought by a friend, nothing but trouble. Eventually they dropped the Di2 system and installed a nice mechanical system and the bike has been fine ever since. That's a pretty low sample count and it is of course possible that that was a lemon. But the bike itself (a Bulls, top of the line model) is pretty good and the rest of the parts held up just fine.

You need a couple of generic stuff:

- A non-sanctioned country

- Partnering up with existing banks so you can actually process payments and manage fees

- Regulatory license for payment processing - if applicable

- PCIDSS compliance if you will process cards (can come later on, card schemes will knock your door)

- A really secure infrastructure and application (or you are in trouble)

- Some of the founding people actually knowing the domain

- Well-thought API

If you get past the first one then the rest is actually all about the investment.
Im facing the inverse of this right now. We have some internal tools that are written in go and are triggered from our scm's equivalent of hooks. Unfortunately these are now failing on non Windows platforms (where we primarily develop) because I can't call a windows go binary on Linux or vice versa. So now I'm back to writing python scripts that wrap golang binaries...
> uses the term "movies" to refer to "big budget movies", which are by no means the only movies out there

They kinda are. Franchises have sucked all the air out of the room, and movies are given money on the premise that they will make money. Edit: not just money. But shit-tons of money that can be milked from multiple angles for many years.

Already 10 years ago filmmakers were struggling to find funding for their projects. Birdman and Gravity were very close to not being made even they had Oscar-winning directors and stellar casts. It's significantly worse today.
Which is why when someone says "do you have a minute" or "can we talk", I don't know if they're about to drop a bomb! It is stressful!
I had a GPS mishap in Nagano that ended up with my rental car at the top of a ski slope. In my defense it happens a lot because there’s a road there only open in summer, no indication it’s not a road after a certain point in the winter (it’s a groomed ski run), and has street lights that sure make it look like the road continues.

The owner of my $50 a night hotel picked us up where I was stuck, insisting we take our skis with us. The next morning he took my keys and insisted we go skiing, and he would take care of getting the car out. He said it would be about $50 (rough conversion from yen) to pay for a tow out with the resort’s groomer. All in all he probably spent 6 hours helping me. The bill was actually $100 (still much cheaper than I actually expected), but he would only accept $50 since that’s what he told me earlier. His wife also called the GPS manufacturer and complained.
Well obviously it does matter, and he is only “free to give anyone access” if you completely disregard any damage to his brand.
He’s free kind of in the same way that Coca Cola is “free to change their recipe”.

I for one like the approach he has taken. And I would not at all like the approach you suggest, which feels like it boils down to “I have no quarrels supporting authorities war mongering regimes unless it costs extra, in which case I want money for my support.

As far as I'm concerned we could stop making movies right now (or 10 years ago really). We would still have enough great movies to watch for several life times.

As a side note, I strongly recommend checking out Drinker's books - published under his real name Will Jordan. While I was skeptical at first, I have to say I really enjoyed them.

I remember reading in the UK government's security assessment of Huawei that one of the issues is not necessarily data being sent to bad places or backdoors in the software, it's that the engineering processes behind these devices/software are completely unable to protect against any sort of supply chain attacks.

The sorts of things they highlighted were: no version control, no code review, production builds happening on arbitrary machines, no automated testing, poor access control on code, no audit trail on code changes, the list goes on, and that's just for the software side. The conclusion was that Huawei were about a decade away from being able to even claim they had no backdoors. And that's a major telecoms hardware provider, trying to sell into governments and major infrastructure projects.

I'm not in the least bit surprised that TP-Link are doing this, and also not at all surprised that when questioned on it they are (so far) unable to actually describe why it's happening or really seem to know anything about it.

I think this sort of product is built in a very different environment to what most HN users would expect.
Btw, the word is "defamation".

Some friends and I went to a baseball game 2 hours early to get good unreserved seats in the fan club section.

Our seats and stuff were still there when we returned.
