I'm not sure how, but you seem to have deduced that I am somehow against... spoilers?

My point is that a plot can seem interesting and mysterious while you are reading it, but only the ending will tell you if that feeling was justified or not. For example, the story of Orpheus and Eurydice is not in any way dulled by knowing how it ends, the moments where you were reading about Orpheus trying to reach Hades and not yet knowing if he'd succeed are not in any way wasted if you know how it does end - the dramatic tension is beautifully resolved, if tragically so.

If instead the story ended with Orpheus, given the right to try to leave hell with his beloved if only he never looks back would turn around to ask her what time dinner would be ready, as he just kinda forgets about Hades' deal, or he starts remembering some other woman he likes more and doesn't even care if Eurydice is no longer there; then the whole thing would be easily written off as a hack job and not remembered for some 2000 years later.

Simialrly, the reason the ending of the Game of Thrones TV show destroyed the value of its entire story isn't simply that we found out how it ends, it's because most of what seemed in earlier seasons to be building up was proven to have been irrelevant.

For example, for the longest time, you wondered if the world could band together and whether it could survive the threat of the White Walkers. However, the show made that out to have been an irelevant worry, since the whole White Walker army was easily defeated by a random assassin with a random knife (well, one made of good steel, but nothing more), who just had to find a moment when the main baddie had his back turned. The White Walker army turned out to be unable to even defeat half of the armies that stood against them in an open field - they were really a non-issue in the end.

Even the themes of climate change, of politics and old rivalries and mistrust getting in the way of necessary action - these are all wiped out and proven to have been incorrect readings of the show. The White Walkers weren't a metaphor for external problems that an inward looking system can't solve, they were just ice zombies that are hard to kill individually, but easily coapse if you kill the queen bee.

Similarly, for the entire duration of the show we look at Daenerys Targaryen and see how she confronts the antiquated, monstrous systems she encounters, and wonder if she can truly defeat them. Then, near the moment of her opportunity to do so, she snaps and goes crazy (according to the writers themselves) and decides to burn down the very people she has been trying to help. Any character building she had shown is made irrelevant, as it's simply the bad genes she inherited from her mad father that make her fantasy Hitler in the end. Not her haughtyness, not her tendency for retribution, not her belief in her own rights as a monarch - things that could have led to an interesting descent into madness or evil - no, just her bad blood.
> At this point in time the price is per generated document - irrespectively of how complicated the operation is.

As part of an integration for a few customers we do relatively simple PDF operations. Combining a few TIFFs into a PDF, or splitting a PDF into separate PDF per page for example. Think invoices vs orders. Can be a royal PITA though due to edge cases in terms of whatever generated the TIFFs or PDFs.

However each of our customers have 1-10k documents per day, and we're in Scandinavia so small fries in terms of volume.

edit: OCR and table extraction is something that might be very interesting depending on quality, but again even 10k/mo seems low for most of our larger customers.
Yup, and the weird thing is it was just bursitis; the imaging otherwise came back clean. I've hurt myself way worse than that with fewer consequences. Must be getting old.
You realize peer pressure has always been a thing right? We should have a “War on Social Media”, have the First Lady head a “Just Say No” campaign, and have commercials about “this is your brain on FaceBook”. Because that worked so well last time.

But now, the government will get it right.
But now I'm stuck behind a paywall. Do I have to pay for a NYT subscription to read hackernews now?
I paid with the expectation that he would finish the story. Since he didn't I wont buy more of his books until he stop procrastinanting other porjects and release the full story.
It is impossible to compare these situations. World War II was an entirely different kind of war and its horror had an even greater order of magnitude.

Hard to tell that to the people on the ground, of course.
I think it does in the UK. Taxes aren't hypothecated but my understanding is road, car and fuel taxes bring in about twice as much as we spend maintaining the infrastructure.
I have the same feeling. Not only that, but since learning about the properties of subatomic particles, and how different their behavior is from everything we experience every day, I have the feeling we are in a kind of Truman Show. Every time we find some answers, we discover another layer of mystery.

It is as if we had two lives: one conventional, with our partners, work, worrying about Russia etc., and another one, where the universe is made up mostly of void, with the rest of the space being filled by what we currently call quantum fields organizing in particles forming our experience of the universe and being, down to photons reflected from surfaces and striking cells in our eyes so that the brain can flip the vision upside down and interpret it with some anticipation, so even our idea of "present" is somewhat illusory. Frankly, the reality itself is just amazing.
Homelessness is caused by:

1) Drug addiction (addicts and the mentally ill are no longer rational actors and it's cruel to treat them as such, stop paying them to sleep on the sidewalk)

2) Immigration (like it or not, pumping up demand weather they're paying for it or the government makes housing much more expensive for everyone.)

3) Cheap credit (Everyone knows how this works and worse still it directly effects the most disadvantaged while funneling their money to the wealthy.)

4) High cost of construction labor

5) Material supply chain issues (which is largely the same as the last two, it's all just inflation.)

6) Expensive regulation that adds to construction cost (zoning, building codes etc.)

Housing is part of it but not the only part. Some of these things could be easily fixed in ways that benefit everyone who lives here (housed or not.) No one in charge wants to though and you should be asking why.

“Effective”, or “perfect”? Because almost everything every government does, good and ill, is not the second but it is the first. Totally ineffective bans certainly exist, but they are much rarer — even in the case of drugs, unless your pharmacy is currently selling cocaine 'Toothache Drops', or heroin or morphine cough syrup.

There could also be effective anti-missile defenses, which are currently politically impossible due to the fact that developing them puts you outside of the effectiveness of deterrence.
>> They might be potentially harmful, people should be informed about how they work and possible consequences, but going beyond and restricting/regulating is no-no.

So a child should be able to purchase booze, cocaine, heroin provided they are informed of the risks?
I agree with your sentiment and I also use HN because I like the wide range of topics that I may not normally come across. Perhaps some users (not all ofc) aren't even aware of the possibilities of the differences in aggregators and sources, I'm not saying advertising is an answer but discoverability for novel information is likely pretty low.
Look, I understand. If I had made so much money like he had, I would be now snoring cocaine over strippers instead of writing. But I had the expecation that in his age, he would be more responsable then me.
While in SE Asia I would dual boot Windows specifically to drive out the ants that had found a home in my laptop. I could never get the same result with the Linux install I had at the time.
Real issues arrive when people use "illegal" and "immoral" as if they were interchangeable.
It was fascinating read at peculiar time in my life and it made the whole experience much more memorable. I would love to re-read it in few years.
There don't seem to be any offensive uses for agora. Check the Urban Dictionary if there's ever a doubt. So that one might not have been pulled for PC reasons. Maybe they thought it was too archaic.
> Why would I need four concurrent screens for myself.

Most people don't. But they bundled it with 4K so that's why people have the multiple screen option. Not because they want multiple screens but because they want to be able to view 4K content.
New data shows how far VCs are pulling back on US Series A, B, and C valuations
A few years ago, $COMPANY had similar needs for a client. I ended up creating an in-house solution, which has a surprisingly close API (well, there are only so many ways to do this).

So I asked myself: if this kit existed at the time, would we have used it? I don't think so. For all specified pricing plans, the document limit is way too low for what $COMPANY or its clients do. Judging by the progression of the costs, we'd have gone in-house instead of negotiating an Enterprise plan.

If you don't want to adjust pricing, perhaps you could add a consumption based plan. The plan could have a much larger limit, but the client also pays per API call.
Well, an open ending can itself be satisfying or not. The current state of ASOIAF would have about 30 open major plots, most without any discernible relevant theme at their current state, so I would say that no, it would end up in the "irrelevant story with some nice ideas along the way" state if the last two books were truly the end of the story.

Note the RR Martin does actually have many sci-fi stories with interesting, frustrating but thematically clear, open endings.
How to Migrate from ECS to EKS and the #1 Trick to Make EKS Easier
Yuck - you couldn’t chemically exterminate them?
Well this encounter happened between July and November 2020.
A relatively young couple, 30ish, moved in to the building in the unit on top of mine. Keep in mind this an old Montreal building, so lots of wood and you can pretty much hear everything ... She would basically tell her partner what I was doing/thinking or even dreaming, the relation wasn't amicable at all they would wake me up at night and I would blast the TV to retaliate and things spiraled for a few months until I moved out.
> Where in the world would raising taxes on a dime be perfectly acceptable?

"Any place where..." Noted that you couldn't conjure a single example.

> If inflation is that high, the real cost of making your mortgage payment is shrinking in real dollars.

This assumes that inflation is evenly distributed in all sectors. It isn't. Your CPI inflation rate is a proxy, a rough index, an average, and a dubious one at that prone to all sorts of bad signals.

Tax rates are evenly distributed (even if a higher tax bracket results in a higher rate, it's still evenly applied across the population).

Inflation isn't. Wages don't move in lockstep with inflation, particularly across all sectors and across all jobs. It moves in fits and bouts, and a raise may only come once a quarter or once a year for many (since businesses need their expenses to be predictable).

This idea that taxes could be unpredictable based on some rough, government sponsored index of inflation is quite silly on deep inspection. It completely upends the predictability of doing business.

And the cost of that unpredictability would be a contraction in the economy from less spending to hedge against the uncertainty of income.
>Nothing gets to stay as just itself. It has to bend and change to work within capitalism, to generate wealth for whoever owns it..

No, it doesn't. There's obviously a financial incentive to do these things, sometimes a very strong one, but it always remains a choice.
The CIA didn't lie. And the Bush government's lie wasn't that they believed Iraq to have WMDs, the lie was in the exaggeration of their evidence.

Ironically, almost everyone in the region had WMDs, including the Isrealis. Even Saddam Hussein must have had some at some point, particularly when he used them against the Kurds. So it's not so easy and clear-cut.

> 3 spontaneous pneumathoraces…

I remember from EMT school the informal advice that spontaneous pneumo is a predisposition for certain body types and something as trivial as a burp or hiccups can cause. Tall and thin body type. But this is anecdotal- is there an underlying cause in your case?
I've seen this in a rom-com before, where they poke a hole in the person's chest and they survive by decompressing the trapped fluids out of the hole.

Weird to think about surviving something because you were stabbed in the right spot.

Cool stuff.
In just a few years, several countries went from "lower middle class can afford housing" to "lower middle class can barely meet wage requirements to be allowed to rent". The typical lower middle class job is still the same serviceable white collar job it was before, including many junior-medior software developers outside the SV bubble (read: anywhere age 20-35). There are very little signs momentum will slow down. From my understanding, things aren't much different in the US.

Sounds like the problem isn't as easy as "just get a better job bro".

This makes a ton of sense. In some communities.

It's a bit similar to what is the expected relationship between Alice and Bob after Alice saves Bob from drowning.

In some communities, Bob needs to be thankful for Alice for the rest of his life, with no more expectations of her.

In others, Alice is now responsible for Bob for the rest of her life.
These policy experts need to sit down with social workers, case managers, ER and psychiatric center physicians and staff.

The most visible homeless people that are the jarring entropy in American cities are always going to be the low functioning indigent population with mental health and/or addiction issues.

These people have no choice but to be visible. They obviously can’t succeed in their current state. Where can someone go who has baseline mental health issues, has been low SES for their entire life, and has no real support network? When this type of person is in crisis a shelter isn’t going to be a safe convalescent house to get mental health treatment and stability/sobriety.

The US is woefully inadequate here. We let our lowest functioning and least supported (as in support network of family and friends) members of society walk the streets panhandling by day and sleeping in the dirt by night.

US cities need convalescent facilities and long term psychiatric facilities for the indigents who are mentally unable to tackle their own enormous critical problem and for the ones who are long term addicted and need strong support. (Long term alcohol use and amphetamine use lead to different kinds of psychosis. Wernicke/Korsakoff and amphetamine induced psychosis respectively. These people are not sound enough of mind to do this without long term facilities. We don’t have those in the US anymore. Unsupervised public housing is not the answer for these people. Perhaps for the less apparent higher functioning and invisible poor it is.
> When it comes to low quality pull requests, tell the author how to improve them. Ideally, I should be able to merge PRs without any changes necessary on my part. This will both lower the amount of work I have to do, as well as educate the author so they will be more productive in the future.

I agree that this probably the ideal thing to do in the long run but, especially as a less social person, often it feels much easier to just do the minor fixes required myself. Training people to be good contributors is a good thing to do, but it is also something that can be very draining.
“Two American military officials said that many Russian generals are talking on unsecured phones and radios. In at least one instance, they said, the Ukrainians intercepted a general’s call, geolocated it, and attacked his location, killing him and his staff.” [1]

How can they do these careless mistakes, and at that level? Mind boggling!

I think your argument kinda agrees with TFA, as it's stating that C's nature as the defacto ABI for all interoperability on all operating systems is in conflict with it trying to, at the same time, still be a programming language.
It would be very nice to have a non-C ABI.

Netflix became popular because it was easier then piracy.

With more and more content silo's (Apple, HBO, Prime, etc.) and Netflix creating friction like this I wonder how long before we are back to people pirating stuff like it's 2005.
I think humanity has a sort of built-in attraction for the "unexplained". I know some intelligent people who are definitively capable of skepticism (they ask themselves the right questions when buying a car, or a house) but they seem to "lower their guard" when presented with, frankly, quite obvious quackery.

Every time I have been presented with "evidence" for the paranormal, I can always come up with rational explanations almost immediately. It often boils down to "that person must be lying" or "this is clearly a forgery".

Yet I still feelt the attraction from "the unexplained". After all, all discoveries have been done after grappling with it. And discovery is good - it increases survival, so your genes get passed down.

I fortunately found a way to channel those energies in a more satisfying (to me) way: science! It turns out if you look at the borders of what we know, you will find lots of interesting and exciting mysteries.

In Astronomy, Dark Matter and Dark Energy are two examples of unexplained mysteries.

On the other side of the spectrum, there's Quantum Physics, where reality becomes "pixellated" and our intuition stops working, there's lots of unexplained stuff. Questions like "what is Gravity, really" or "what is time". Every new answer we get opens 2 or 3 new questions.

We are still far away from implementing practical Nuclear Fusion, which would be really helpful with climate change tbh. How do we overcome the Coulomb Barrier and make deuterium atoms produce energy in a way we can use?

In biology, we are currently deciphering how DNA works. It's a whole programming language and operative system originated from Nature itself, without a conscious inventor behind it. Isn't that neat? And how the hell are we supposed to make sense of it. It's like a big hack. We will need computers to make even partial sense of all of it.

Speaking of computers. We are doing advances in AI, but we are still far away from "Real" AI. But Nature somehow managed to do it in less than 2 kilograms of biomass.

In Math, if you dig a little deep, things get just weird, fast. Just, pick a favorite. (Mine is Russells Paradox).

Most of these mysteries you cannot encounter just by walking on a dark alley. You have to work in order to even understand them. You can (in theory) validate everything yourself (admittedly, no one does this, we all walk upon the shoulders of giants). Instead of ouija table to talk with the spirits, you use a telescope, and a bunch of math, to try to figure out a puzzle set up by the Universe.

Once I started doing this, I found I didn't "need" the supernatural.

#1... I used to work in different country, when my father suddenly passed away. I used to stay alone in an apartment, and had no knowledge of he being admitted to the hospital. Last I spoke to him, he was busy with (my) marriage preparation, that was planned a month later.

I had a couple of weird experiences (will not share here) while making my dinner late at night. I got creeped out to the extent, that I knocked my next door buddies. Had no history of such occurrences before and after. Few hours later, I got the call from home.

What you do in those cases, though they can deny they received the email or read it, is to send a sort of "meeting notes" email to them, where you say something like "as agreed during our phone discussion earlier today...".

That way you create a sort of trail that a discussion took place and at least that was your understanding at the time.

Even worse if it can be proved that they received the email and read it. Because in that case if they don't reply disagreeing, you can argue that the silence was an approval of your account.
In 30 years of commuting I've never actually had to rely on hard braking to avoid a collision. On many occasions I have swerved to avoid a collision.

The one time a collision was unavoidable through swerving or braking, I jumped straight up, and deflected off windsheild rather than getting walloped straight-on.
