The invasion of Iraq, or at least the one you are alluding to, happened in 2002, six years after that quote and a few years after Albright was making those decisions.

And what is it you are objecting to, exactly? Saddam was a sadist who gassed his own citizen. People demanded someone go in and stop him back then, like they are now asking for a no-flight-zone in Ukraine. Sometimes, there are no good choices.

At the time, embargoes were seen as effective because they had just brought down South Africa’s regime of Apartheid, and (to some degree) the Soviet Union. The alternative in US politics was not non-interventionism. It was outright invasion, something that had to wait for an administration without Clinton and Albright. The “Bomb, Bomb, Bomb Iraq” party came in and that likely killed an order of magnitude more people, especially if you consider that it caused the collapse in Syria, as well.

My colleagues sometimes find non-trivial errors in my code, and I find errors in theirs. Maybe we're just not as smart as the people you work with.
We find a low correlation between credit score levels and income,

Interestingly, these two articles claim a correlation:

https://bluewatercredit.com/is-there-a-link-between-your-inc...

Low income (50% or less of MFI) = 664 median credit score
Moderate Income (50% to 79% of MFI) = 716 median credit score
Middle Income (80% to 119% of MFI) = 753 median credit score
Upper Income (120% of MFI or more) = 775 median credit score

This one shows similar numbers: https://www.valuepenguin.com/average-credit-score#income

Yes it is. Like crocodiles or sharks, the reason they haven't changed much is because they are basically perfect. Deal with it.
Indeed, apparently some HN commenters can't wait to dance on her grave.
No. I need to look at many different angles, so it would have to be attached to my head, which would be hazardous in a crash, and would negate some of the recumbent's comfort advantage. Additionally, the field of view would be smaller than looking directly.
I am pretty sure humans evolved to use cups shrug.
All these links are prefixed with https://href.li which uses meta refresh as a means of redirection, which apparently still works on most popular browsers, to "hide" the Referer header. What I have never understood is why no one cares if the operator of href.li thereby gets logs of every URL submitted along with originating IP. In this example, there is an implicit assumption that the user wishes to "hide" the Referer header from one website, e.g., arquivo.pt, archive.org, bibalex.org, vefsafn.is, loc.gov, webcitation.org, or archive-it.org, but not from another, i.e., href.li.^1 This is, IMO, a recurring theme with "free web-based service"^2 websites and "tech" companies. One website/"tech" company expects users to trust it but to distrust others.^3 Nevermind that the choice might sometimes be between the lesser of two/multiple evils, so to speak.

1. Though I suspect here it is the operator of mementoweb.org who has the interest in hiding the Referer header, for whatever reason.

2. The easiest way to avoid the annoyances of Referer headers is not to send them. Unless things have changed, sending a Referer header can be disabled in Firefox. A local forward proxy can also remove the Referer header. Smaller, open source HTTP clients that users can fully control and modify need not send Referer headers. With possible rare exceptions, only ever raised by website operators and "tech" employees, sending the Referer header serves no benefit to users. It should be optional, but the most popular browsers remove that choice.

3. Google is an obvious example. DuckDuckGo and other alternative search engines have also been known to prefix URLs to create redirects, purportedly to "protect" users form the dangers of the Referer header. This of course also allows the search engine to track every URL (search result) that a user "clicks".
You could say this about anything. Humans didn't evolve to drive cars and look cars are the same now as they were in 1895! They still have wheels, seats, engines, and a control device. It's silly to say that a modern car is the same as an 1895 car (that's 10 years before the Model T even).

Bicycles have changed just as much as cars. Disk breaks, lights, carbon and aluminium frames, clipless and magnetic pedals, handlebars are totally different as shifters and breaks, saddles are far more comfortable (made not just out of different materials, modern saddles are fundamentally different from old-style saddles), wheels are much lighter, tires are much more durable, we have far better shifters and even have electronic shifting. And much more. We wear helmets now! All of that is before get into how different lights are, things like GPS and tracking, or even radar to alert you about cars!

Obree's achievements are very cool. But saying that we should be more like him is crazy! He was mechanically efficient on those bikes, but he was not comfortable. You wouldn't want to ride his bikes for fun.

Even his latest bike where he is laying prone. Hard pass. That can't feel good on your neck! It looks super dangerous in cities with potholes (you will end up face planting). You have a very low profile and are much more likely to get hit by cars. And you will see far less around you because you're so low.

This is not some UCI conspiracy to prevent progress. The reason why the basic layout of the modern bike is the same (just like the basic layout of a car is the same) is because it's great at what it does. It's not some dumb compromise. 99% of cyclists don't care about power output to the exclusion of comfort and safety!
This is the first thing I thought of when I saw her name.

But I have to wonder what info she had that made her believe this? How many Iranians does in the 1980s in the war against Iraq? How many Kurds died to the government in Baghdad?

I have started to question whether those in power actually have perverted value systems (as is a common meme) or whether they are privy to different facts.

Not trying to apologize for this woman’s statement, just genuinely curious.
It seems like the point is to introduce OpenFaaS.
Interesting idea - having worked in the back office of a solar construction company for a number of years I can see a few challenges.

Install labor is relatively cheap but more importantly flexible - relative to the cost of the project install is low double digits %. If a job isn't running smoothly you cut your temps and move your main crew over to another site or send them home if they're local. I would wonder how this work fit in with an automated build/install solution.

Unless you have control at the GC level you're going to be start/stop with electricians cutting trenches in front of you, missing materials (tariffs/port strikes), permitting delays, etc, and you'll have expensive idling equipment that's tough to move.

I get that this is the problem you're trying to solve - but I'd definitely suggest going to enough bread and butter 2-10MW sites where this sort of thing is more common. Also keep in mind Central CA in summer is not Massachusetts in November, weather makes all this 10x worse.
Yeah, that's why economist say the least bad tax is the land value tax, not the income tax we have now.
Ask HN: Best resource to learn applications of algorithms
Lot of resources to learn classic and modern algorithms and data structures. But is there a good resource guide on how they are applied. Especially the non obvious applications? For example when i learnt shortest path algo is used in context aware image resizing, my mind was wow, thats clever. Is there a good collection of such applications?

Homebrew is a mac thing. I know it exists on Linux but it's pointless and impractical to introduce another package management to an os that already has one built in. Tried it, and I will not repeat the experience.

> The gravitational field at the event horizon of pretty much any black hole people care to model, is actually quite "weak"

More precisely, the spacetime curvature at the horizon of any astronomically significant black hole (i.e., one of stellar mass or larger) is quite small--many, many orders of magnitude smaller than the Planck scale.

While this is true, it's not what I was talking about. Black holes get formed by gravitational collapse of massive objects. The models of that collapse process that were current in the 1970s, when Hawking published his original paper on black hole evaporation, were purely classical. Since then, particularly in the last decade or two, there has been a lot of theoretical work on non-negligible quantum corrections to the collapse process. Not having to do with quantum gravity, but just ordinary quantum fields (like those in the Standard Model) providing corrections that were not known when Hawking's original paper was published, or for another two decades or so afterwards.

Also, even in vacuum, quantum fields (again, not quantum gravity, just ordinary quantum fields like those in the Standard Model) can provide non-negligible corrections. The most obvious one is a nonzero cosmological constant, aka a nonzero vacuum expectation value for the energy density of the "ground state" of the quantum fields. The accelerated expansion of the universe indicates that the cosmological constant is indeed nonzero, but the value implied by those observations is about 120 orders of magnitude smaller than what our best current understanding of quantum field theory gives us. So obviously there is something important missing in our understanding of vacuum quantum fields.

Finally, to get to the main issue I was referring to in my earlier post: the problem with having quantum fields as a source of gravity has nothing to do with the magnitude of the spacetime curvature, it has to do with having superpositions of different quantum field configurations, which means superpositions of different stress-energy tensors. You can't handle that with a fixed background spacetime; there would need to be a superposition of different spacetime geometries. Which requires a theory of quantum gravity.
Can't stress this enough.

I just want to add before taking meds or any supplements make sure you research things on your to understand the risks. Sometimes even doctors are not aware of adverse reactions.

Your health should always come first before work. Try to exercise a few times a week, going for walk/runs or bike.
What do you mean "chunks of fat"? Do you mean the fact that milk naturally separates after some time? I'm pretty sure chunks of anything in a cow's milk that is only a minute old is a serious sign of disease.

Ask basically any dairy farmer, and they will be happy to tell you they drink the milk straight from the cow. They probably have a couple of jugs in the fridge.
Nah, people in villages drink that. Fresh cows milk was considered higher quality.

The story is not used boots vs new, it's shitty, Walmart brand boots vs being able to afford the really nice L.L. Bean boots.

I respect Western Digital and think they're trying their best to do a good thing. It's that word in general though. Buzzword paradigms always make me feel unwell. As someone who's usually a ahead of the herd in terms of adopting tech, once the broader public catches on and starts making up jargon, I always get a sense that it twists the meaning I personally associated with these concepts and causes me to feel negative emotion about parts of my work life once tacitly normal.
Irony.

I think the proper way to prep is not individually but communally. See if your local government has any disaster preparation programs and get involved with those. YouTube videos are mostly for driving ad revenue and selling you garbage after making you anxious and don't solve the underlying problem of fragile global supply chains and supply shocks.

The main thing currently that no one seems concerned about is the reduction of grain production from Russia and Ukraine because of the war. This is going to have a global impact and will increase food scarcity that a 3 month individual supply can not do anything about.
> (if you are) correct about racial unfairness in the criminal justice system (which you are not)

I think if we can't agree here, we are unlikely to agree on much of anything at all.

> you are arguing that biased outcomes in criminal law are the intentional outcome of right-wingers targeting their political enemies (who are black people, apparently?)

Yes. And closer to scapegoat/target than enemy, but sure.

> even if the police enforcing these laws were majority right-wing

They are, as I understand it. But I care little about this point and accept that there are many good police officers who are not biased.

> it was all a right-wing plot completely untenable

Its not a plot. Its a tool used by the right wing to achieve their aims. Whether that tool had good or bad motives at the start is immaterial to the discussion of how its used in practice.

> With all this in mind, what you are arguing sounds more like a conspiracy theory.

The right wing has many tools at its disposal in order to silence and oppress their targets. Of these tools, public derision via cancel culture requires specific targets and has a large chance of blow back via the Streissand effect rallying supporters to the targetted individual. In contrast, broad untargetted attacks afforded by diffuse structures like criminal law enforcement, crippling economic controls, political deactivation via gerrymandering and direct voter suppression are far more effective tools at their disposal.

Notice the fact that you are able to point to a specific event and specific supporters of the outcome of that event in your comparison of "left" cancel culture to "right" oppression. I know you have decided that is the nail in the coffin of my argument. However, consider how much more effective my arguments could be and how difficult a time you would have if that person were fired from their job after holding that ok sign up. But there wasn't a twitter mob. Just a routine dismissal from the company. And all you could do was point at how often that happens to people like that and how little it happens to people who do the same thing but have a different skin color/sex/wear glasses/whatever.

Also, bad things are often not known until sometime after the people died. Anyway, it is much more civilized to honor the deceased family during their mourning. There's plenty of pages to fill in future newspaper articles and history books.

It's an important question to ask.
It has always seemed weird that if I use my Spotify account on my Android phone, iPad, and desktop, who gets a cut of my money depends on which one I use to set up billing.
Ok, what if you don’t use paypal. Or if one app uses pay pal, but another wants you to use some other payment solution. You’re still stuck registering to new services and sharing your CC info. So now you also have to remember what service is used by whatever app you are trying to cancel billing for.
I wish I had realized that I was still young.

I had some early startup-ish projects in the late-nineties/early-2k's, they crashed and burned with the dotcom crash, and I felt like I had lost any chance at making something cool or any kind of impact. I even felt like, at the age of 28, I was too old for dating and had missed all my opportunities.

Things picked up for me in every respect — professional and personal — at age 35. You really are as young as you feel.
You keep moving the goals. Did you decide their opinions are “similar to that of the Russian state tv channels”? When tagging some channels, but not others, together as "propagandists"/"people with similar views"/"Group A"/whatever, was that tagging your "original research", or was it based on some objective criteria?
This advice goes back perhaps a little further into the mid 20s, but.. become aware of your personality, preferences, strengths and weaknesses, and live the (hopefully virtuous) life you want or need rather than the one you think other people want or need you to live.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly what we did and ended up where we are today. Any sufficiently-advanced self-hosting is indistinguishable from AWS?

I have _never_ experienced this. The only restrictions I've seen on colo contracts I've gone after were related to UPSes and things with large batteries in them. So a big stack of laptops would be a no, but if I wanted to put Atari ST's or Dell PowerEdges or white box builds or bitcoin miners it doesn't matter. I guess I've always done things at at least a half or full cab, never single Us at a time.

Well I didn't expect to see Cycle Fit mentioned on HN. They've designed and built several bicycles I've raced competitively on and factor in health issues, individual power output, style of riding, etc. They were one of the first to really push bike fitting to where it is now. It's a very science driven shop.

My first experience was when racing as a lowly cat 4 cyclist on a Cannondale off-the-peg bicycle. I experienced lower back pain and was pretty sure my position was wrong but my tweaking wasn't improving things. Phil put me on a Serotta cycle fit machine which looks like this: https://www.cyclefit.co.uk/fitting . It allows every aspect of the position to be adjusted until the best position for you is found... best with regards to whatever you prioritise. For me it was pain-avoidance first, then endurance and hill climbs power/stamina second. Once they found the best position, we dialled-in the Cannondale to as close as the stock frame allowed (changing steam, seat post, saddle, bars)... and I went from DFL (dead effing last) in races to top 10%.

I didn't really enjoy racing criteriums so didn't stick with that, but I did love the difference the bike fitting made to my enjoyment of riding and had changed to doing distance social rides instead (100+ mile on a weekend... London > Brighton > London for example). And it made me think, if Cycle Fit can do this to a stock bike, what could they do with a fully bespoke bike?

The answer is a lot. I've owned a Serotta, Robin Mather, and a Seven, all made for me after geometry designed by Phil at Cycle Fit. Each bike was for a different purpose, and each one is subtly different. It's amazing, I no longer experience any back pain when cycling, not even for ultracycling and endurance events that last a few days. Riding these bikes feels like being roadrunner in the cartoon, floating through air and legs spinning effortlessly. Everything about them is superlative, but it's the fit that makes it so. The bikes I test rode were good, but not as good as the bikes made for me. I lost the Serotta due to a hit and run incident in London, but the other two remain my prized bikes.

As for Phil, he's become an essential tool for a lot of professional cyclists. His obsession with understanding the science behind how the human body performs on a bicycle has led to some major wins for a lot of professional athletes. He's also extremely humble and very approachable.

If you're ever in the market for a ridiculously good bicycle made specifically for you... then Phil is your man.
Someone asked me to post my business card a few months back, finally got around to make that video. Unfortunately I can't tag that person on HN so hope he/she will see it.
Thanks, I was misunderstanding.
Is the solution than perhaps the rapid build up and turn down of mini cities for workers during the build phase? The problem sounds like Black Rock City public works for solar projects, versus robots for labor needs that can change rapidly (trenching, racking install, panel mounting, etc).

TLDR Worker housing and logistics vs robotics.
Even if you are morbidly obese from muscle (who are we kidding) that excess weight is still putting unhealthy additional stress on all of your organs
Rent is usually simultaneously lower than the extras-included mortgage payment but higher than the net worth hit. A Bay Area $1m home might rent for $4k, have a $6k mortgage new, but only drain your net worth $2k. (because of $ towards principal, housing appreciation/inflation, tax deductions, etc.)
It's more annoying to have to change them, but as someone who bought some long ago, it was cheaper than new,

The last time I got my tires changed, I paid $24 for mounting and balancing each one. Low end new tires cost around $60, so even if the used tires were free, it wouldn't take many changes for them to be more expensive. Plut it takes a couple hours to drive to the tire store and wait around to get them changes, so that's a cost too.

But I didn't buy the cheap $60 tires, I bought the $100 tires with longer treadwear warranty and better performance in rain/snow... another advantage of having more money - I can reduce my chance of getting into an accident by spending more on better tires.
