That's right, but that also doesn't answer the parent's point to which I fully agree.
I think the follow-on effects of delocalizing schools can be pernicious. In the extreme case you can look at districts in Vermont and Massachusetts where some towns provide vouchers to other education systems instead of having one themselves. Having non-local education systems almost completely disconnects costs from funding. It potentially creates a race to the bottom where districts lower property taxes and make their own education system worse knowing that everyone can use other systems. Of course if everyone does that we set the entire region/country backwards a great deal but prisoners dilemma systems are seldom successfully solved.
I hope you don't mind, but I've reformatted your comment so that I could read it more easily and thought others would benefit as well:

We are more mobile today than at any point in history, to be honest[0]. Indentures servitude has been abolished to a large degree[1] and slavery has been outlawed[2]. Conscripted military service is gone in America and a lot of European countries[3]. Job mobility and the ability to save money is, while not easier than any point in history on a point by point history basis[4], on a macro scale of history - comparing medieval, renaissance or previous Europe and Russian and Chinese wealth distribution, mobility and freedoms of self - rent/mortgage may be due, but you can still break your agreement, sell your house[5], quit your job and be a homeless ascetic if you want. There are dozens of YouTube channels on VanLife you can watch people doing it... not for me, but you can do it. You can join an abbey[6]. You can leave the system and jump off the wheel, you just have to jump off the wheel and stop getting what the wheel gives you.

[1] this can be argued, but this is argumentative on the basis of predatory and college loans

[2] again, this can be argued than prison labor is a form of slave labor in states like California when used to fight wildfires, but I'm not sure how much water those arguments hold

I never made that claim. The argument was “if X can do it, so can you”.

I pointed out that _some_of_these_ (Mozilla, likely the most extreme of them, had over $400 million in revenues in 2020), are quite different from the typical ‘you’, invalidating that argument.

As always, invalidating an argument doesn’t mean its conclusion is wrong.

Wow, your post sure got a lot of replies, heh. I've not used a modern VR headset but I have used a TrackIR, and to me it provides such a huge leap in immersion that I can't really see how VR would be worth the extra hassle over that. I'd rather have a CAVE than anything like today's consumer VR. Give me more and bigger screens, not some headwear out of a dystopian sci-fi movie.

Trump is the chief catalyst of Cancel Culture, in my opinion. His violation of every norm of decency and blatant cruelty created a backlash and a desire for retaliation for anyone seen to be in the same camp as Trump.
I don't understand your point. Everything I said above is completely and totally technically correct from a physical point of view. You are ascribing to my statements meaning which I did not intend.

Modern trapped ion computers are doing the same underlying operations as NMR: you are using RF or other energy to perturb the energy states of underlying particles or other components, and reading out the results.

There was also a whole field called 'dna computing' which you would call biologists in a lab, but they were absolutely doing computing
Pays... how? Where does it come from? If anything that makes me less comfortable with it, considering how 99% of what I see advertised to be crypto-related is either a direct scam or a pump-and-dump scheme.
Hi HN, something I've been working on for awhile. Here's how it works:

- We hold sci-fi writing contests on particular scientific and technological topics. Ideally these contests will be sponsored by startups, research labs, and other organizations that want to promote their tech. E.g. a biotech startup sponsoring a contest about biology or CRISPR. Here's the first contest, for example:

https://dotscifi.com/contests/near-future-moon/

- The winners get crypto, cash, or other prizes.

- The stories are then published under a Creative Commons license, making them free to read and share. This will help promote science and tech to a larger audience.

The concept is somewhat similar to SciFutures [1], except that everyone can read the stories and our goal is to promote science and tech, not just create ideas for private companies.

+1 to setting time and emotional boundaries. Lasted through way too many different design teams that all inevitably burnt out because the folks there (all very kind, compassionate, talented people) weren't willing to make that a hill they were willing to die on.

Earlier last week, used the metaphor of putting on your oxygen mask "first" in case of an airplane catastrophe, before putting on anyone else's mask, even your child's - think that's quite apt here.

For my family, and probably many like mine, our concern is watching our savings evaporate. I lived through 08, so I remember massive recessions. But things are different when you're just starting out and watching your modest "retirement" account fall, than they are when you have a significant life that you've built. I know pragmatically that the markets will rebound, but it's still jarring to see your net worth move so dramatically in a matter of weeks.

I'm also not very concerned about housing. Even though I definitely overpaid, living through 08 gave me the mentality that houses are places you live, not investments you make.
Apparently now, nuclear threat is THE reason why actual military help to Ukraine is ruled out. So, it matters and is influencing world right now.
I agree, and unclear why you're being downvoted. From the title I thought that Render must be a database company that built a database protocol-compliant with Redis. It took a while of searching around their blog, github, and careers page to understand that isn't what they do.

They are a hosting provider.
I found it interesting that the guy's bio was about as long as his post with a CTA to follow him.

Made me skeptical about the actual post.
I've managed to do that a bit in a few orgs, by slowly introducing typescript in a code base (and showing that it can be introduced progressively without disrupting too much) to then show how those files have become easier to work with. I guess that's the guerilla style of tech evangelism

The problem is, it's not always possible (if managers refuse to let you do it in the first place) or practical (if you don't get given the time or if you're working with a complicated legacy setup and can't make those kind of changes).

The problem is people can only really see the benefit by working with it for a while, but to work with it there needs to be some initial work to introduce it.
The best time to buy is after transitioning from tightening to easing generally.

It's true that price will move inversely to rate (all else equal), but price effect lags the rate change.

If rates stay at 5% or above we can expect prices to likely start to slowly decline in many areas.

It took 5 years for prices to bottom in the 2000s. Housing is a slow moving market
I googled it because I was confused as well, and it led me to https://www.sironacc.com/product/alarm-ratemeter-with-pancak... , which didn't make a lot of sense.
Yeah, it's insane watching this degree of confirmation bias unfold real time just reading this thread.

Directly addressing what this person is saying with the facts isn't going to work, because it's obvious that nothing can convince them otherwise. I think it's better to look at why they've fixated themselves so strongly on this opinion and are so desperate to maintain it.
I don't mean to pick on you but this is a common platitude and
fallacy:

> I think it's increasingly hard to live without a phone or without a
smartphone.

Maybe for you, for the set of choices you have made in life. When I
see this sentiment I smile a little because I have a Nokia dumb phone
that I use only a few times per week. The less I use my phone the
easier life becomes, quite literally.

To address the examples you give; In my town there are amazing
restaurants all along the beach where we pay cash, know the waiters by
name, you can still go out safely and date people you meet, and we
have record shops that sell vinyl and CDs. Sometimes I like to go for
days without a mobile phone at all. (And in case you're wondering, my
life is filled with many heavy responsibilities that I manage in other
ways)

With the greatest respect, I see a fair few HN comments that speak to
parochial lifestyles, with sweeping statements like:

Everybody does this

Nobody does that now

What people want is this

<thing> is inevitable

<other thing> is ubiquitous now

Sweeping statements generalised from limited personal experience and
quite narrow horizons make me think "That's will make these people
consumers not innovators. They accept what they are given".

> But maybe this is just the march of technology.

It's not the "march" Armies and ants march. It's the "flowering" or
diversification of technology. Some people are using technology in
different ways than others. Which is what we'd hope for and expect
from a liberal democracy, right? If we wanted everybody to do the
same, think the same, and buy the same, we'd vote for communism
surely?

Or are some digital technologies ushering in a form of communism on
the sly?
If you don't think "lie" is the appropriate word here, then might I suggest "deliberate fraudulent misrepresentation" instead?

Nvidia in Talks to Use Intel as a Foundry to Manufacture Chips
I managed to get through the PDF and it certainly dances around the vietnam war. Stanfords shouldering the bulk of the wound-licking here as vietnam ended in futility in 1975, which is a little early for a comprehensive academic assessment if you ask me. the article also flogs 'asymmetry' to the point of using it to scapegoat US culpability of leadership. Congress and Senate couldnt agree on a daily basis what to target or when to attack, and insisted on the micromanagement of the entire affair in some cases to a deleterious objective of just "fighting the communism" and "winning" without any meaningful performance indication. conscripting americans resulted in desertion and decline of morale to the point most soldiers didnt care, and lying to the public about casualty and progress made it equally untenable at home.

im sure after defeat it was comforting to consider it a small war, but it wasnt. vitenam had the full backing (albeit proxy) might of the soviet union. it killed or wounded nearly 200,000 US troops and at a surge point of 3.5 million enlisted troops spelled the precipitous decline of enlistment to less than half that number over the next five decades.
Doubtful. Collapse and revolution are just tools of the market. The market which now has eyes and ears in your trashcan.

Monoculture honey does often take on unique flavors and characteristics based on the source of the nectar. This doesn't seem odd to me at all. For a North American example, Tupelo Honey is a good example of a monoculture honey with a very unique flavor profile.

The war in Ukraine is the strangest war history has ever seen. A much, much larger opponent with shockingly incompetent leadership and preparation invades a smaller country that has been aggressively preparing for exactly this outcome, armed with the support of many of the world’s strongest economic and military suppliers’ middle tier gear and top tier intelligence.
In addition to the above advice about copper/ADSL, if any of your sockets are still live after unplugging whatever you can and/or you actually want to use a phone, you should also plug filters into ALL of your live sockets (whether they have something plugged into them or not).

For the ultimate, cleanest & best connection you can remove the faceplate of the master socket to reveal the "test socket" [1] (which in so doing disconnects every other socket in the house) and then plug a filter & your ADSL modem directly into that socket, or fit a replacement faceplate e.g. [2],[3]

I bet Zuckerberg is ready to swallow at least another $50 billion in losses before giving up on the VR dream. The FB/IG ad machine is sputtering but still pays for that easily.
>I argue it’s not the right thing. I agree that stepping in is necessary SOMETIMES and at reasonable scale. The feds job isn’t to prop up the stock market.

Keynes went into depth about this. The temporary government measures are never temporary and the point of the original original post is the fed has literally declared it's not going to be temporary.

This is my point and your point. That in the end it became the wrong thing to do.

>The only explanation I can think of is our insane national debt. It’s such an easy solution to inflate all the debt away. American monetary policy has been straight irresponsible.

Exactly right and without question the intention. The problem is that when the USA does this, the USD will no longer be the reserve currency. Nixon killed the bretton woods agreement and it was only a matter of time before the USD lost its reserve currency status. Afterall, Keynes was the dude who built this design.

Unless some unusual and unexpected thing happens soon. Most countries are going to see the USD inflation and either drop the reserve currency entirely and freefloat against the forex. Or they'll basket some new currencies in. Yuan, Pound, Euro.

Done are the days of the USD as the reserve currency. This will be a disaster for everyone who currently uses the USD.

I expect the IMF to make some huge unexpected swings.
The HN title is confusing and "just works" isn't mentioned in the actual article.

I was going to ask if anyone ever had trouble running Redis. But that's not something the article itself asserts.
I wonder if really winning a war and properly suppressing its people long term just requires a level of barbarism towards its populous that countries can no longer do? It certainly seems that the "winning hearts and minds" approach didn't really accomplish anything.
There's an Ohio billboard right downtown in Austin, just off the highway, that I think makes fun of you for sitting in traffic and suggests Ohio would be better. It's sort of interesting how this antagonistic approach actually makes me mentally jump to Austin's defense, even though I am interested in moving somewhere less crowded.

I wonder if there's any way they try to measure the success of these campaigns? Maybe with voter registration/DMV/post office data? If they can measure accurately, I imagine they could actually do a pretty good job of attribution compared to most display advertising...
Agreed on the last point - Vietnam was no small war, at all. For comparison, the Ukraine war is not small either, and has around 1/10th as many troops on the attacking side!

Hmm. You sound bitter.
I agree - I think a case could be made for translating older versions of a language into the latest one, but especially if it's already a translation from a completely different language.

What's news to me is that people in the present are translating old non-English texts into some older form of English - is that true?
Blacks are essentially a solved problem with (micro)OLED. Controls are a non-issue, it's no different than holding a screwdriver or pen, humans are quite adapted to using tools to manipulate the world and we have hand and finger tracking on top if necessary. Latency again, not really a major problem, works well enough, this is VR after all, not telerobotics, if the game engine has to cheat a little, that's fine. Focus adjust exists in a couple of prototypes, but so far hasn't made it into the consumer space, I'd rate this as a "nice to have", most people quickly get used to the fixed focus.

The big problem VR has to overcome is getting resolution parity with monitors. At the moment VR is still extremely low resolution, even headsets in the 2000x2000 realm are, due to the image being stretch across ~100° FOV, only the equivalent of an old 800x600 monitor. That's not good enough for a lot of uses. It works fine for VR games, but barely works for 2D movies and even less so for text. Given that the majority of content out there is made for larger resolutions, that's the biggest stumbling block for VR as it means people have to get out of VR and use another display device.

I think once resolution is solved, that will be the killer-app for VR just by itself. As it means a VR headsets, which can be turned into an AR headset via camera pass through, is able to replace every screen you currently have. That will be the point where people can start ditching their multi-monitor setups and have essentially an empty desk with just a headset. The appeal of getting ever bigger TVs will also vanish when you can have a virtual IMAX screen in your headset.

It will still take some years until VR/AR headset are good enough and comfortable enough to replace TVs and monitors en masse. But I have little doubt that it will happen sooner or later. All the VR gaming stuff is really just a bonus here and I don't think we'll get mass VR adaption just from that.
I did not know who he was when I started the analysis, he simply came up in the graph right at the center of the remaining russian propaganda network on youtube.

It's also itil lingo, which predates sre.
ARM caches are (normally) coherent, though. That's not the issue here. It's something about the instruction reordering playing badly with the cache flush and interrupt entry hardware. And my point was that's a hardware errata and not a software bug.

And there seems to be no link to docs from ARM describing the issue, which is IMHO kinda horrifying.
The descriptions seem a little bit scarce for me. Like others I also wonder who's the intended audience. For 1k/year/repository I need to be quite serious with a project, but that project needs to be basically non existent (otherwise I would probably have the basis already) while also being somewhat serious.

If you're on the margin performance-wise, and you are also carrying this controversial political baggage, then that baggage is likely going to be the tipping factor. The argument you have to convincingly make is that even without the baggage, Kaepernick would not be playing. That is why comparisons to players with similar performance records are relevant, not "silly."
In the U.S., copyrighting a design merely means you can't reproduce the design documents. It has no effect on the design of an actual product (which would be covered by a design patent, which has a lifetime of 15 years).

(Brompton is a UK company, so this wouldn't apply to UK-based competitors, but it would protect US-based competitors.)

EDIT: it looks like the EU actually has similar rules. Brompton is very likely going to lose this case, and is probably just counting on the court proceedings to delay this competitor's entry into the market. Expect a flood of Brompton-likes when the lawsuit settles.
