> have you have tried being a business investor in NZ?

Yes.

Wages are artificially low.
Employments rights low, often not enforced.
The state has made it its business to keep it that way.

For example a computer programmer working in the games industry, and all workers in the feature film industry, has no employment rights, at all.

The lack of any capital gains tax is a particularly galling blow to labour as opposed to investors.

Still the investors and business class whinge (as we see on Hacker News) constantly that the workers are given too many rights.
How do we know if this is unique to tesla or that Tesla is just a magnet for media coverage. Likely, this is a problem for all companies, but Tesla is just a favorite target of the media.
First off, because everything they said about the law is bullshit. The vice president has no authority to throw out votes. This is a complete fabrication. Either the writer legitimately believe this is legal, in which case they are clueless, or they know it is illegal, in which case they are lying. Either is bad.

Second, because of this:

>If they are (as more than 70% of Republicans believe) certificates from non-electors appointed via voter fraud, why should he open & count them?"

"Many people are saying": the classic weasel words. They can endorse this with an appeal to the authority of common knowledge and discuss it as if it's a reasonable hypothetical, all the while maintaining plausible deniability that they're just repeating what "everyone knows". Well, I don't find it plausible.

Read the replies to the tweets. The fascist types definitely interpreted it as Rasmussen agreeing with their position,. The non-fascist types interpreted it the same way. People do not communicate with formal logic. The meaning of speech is the meaning people take from it, not the meaning you would get from dissecting it on a whiteboard.
Just to add to that, more ways to boost your confidence:

5) Militantly maintain a healthy diet - i.e. NO alcohol or sugar (ever), no processed foods (ever), watch carbs and focus on protein/fat, NO industrial seed oils.

6) Fast intermittently. This means limit your eating to an 8 hour window every day. Your body should be forced to burn fat daily at the end of the 16 hour window where you don't eat. Eat a late lunch and early dinner only.

7) Lift heavy weights every other day - make sure you consume enough protein to repair your muscles (whey protein isolate is great just before and after you lift weights)

8) No "diet" drinks EVER. Drink water. Filter out the fluoride - you do not want this crap in your body, it's a neurotoxin. Take turmeric extract daily, along with vitamin D 5000 IU and 1mg of Vitamin C.

9) Get some hydroxyapatite powder sourced from cow bones (not the nano stuff, it's dangerous) and use that to remineralize your teeth instead of fluoride. Consider switching to a non-fluoride toothpaste, or be extra careful to rinse all of the fluoridated toothpaste out of your mouth if you choose to continue using fluoridated toothpaste. Fluoride is a neurotoxin, and your social anxiety could be related to this or other toxins we're encouraged to consume daily.

Used PHP for many years for high volume web applications. My biggest gripe is you (at least had to) run php behind another server (nginx, Apache) which meant your "scope" is always restricted to serving the current request.

If you want to do something like share some heavily read data across processes you need to then introduce memcahe/redis in to your stack, whereas in something like Go this can be done in your application code. This also means PHP is a nightmare for connection management to others resources like your database - if you autoscale your API you are in a very vulnerable place for maxing out connections on your database as every client request needs to create it's own. You can solve this with something like Envoy I think, but again it's adding more complexity to your stack, more tools to configure and deploy.

This was my main issue with PHP. I found the language itself fine to be honest. Not the most elegant but hardly as bad as people make out.

Why is it that Americans still think Europeans can't solve their own problems? Is it sort of WWII-era reminiscence, perhaps?
The "Classic" theme was still very much reminiscent of Netscape 4 (just reworked icons and toolbar and location bar were merged), while the "Modern" theme was much the same in layout but introduced round buttons of varying size. (Firefox came with both themes.)

Let me give you a couple of use cases where a standard CV would be beneficial to workers.

1. You want to apply to one position but you only have your data on LinkedIn. If you wanna export it, you only have PDF as an option. You can't adapt or update it.
2. Even if you can adapt or update it, if the company or service where you want to apply doesn't support a standard format, you will have to re-enter the data, one by one.

Finally, all this friction discourages some candidates to apply to some positions.

> they will also likely discover the power of force

That is one possibility. Another is wu wei, passive denial of benefits, malicious compliance, lying flat.

The householder role stops working? Practice renunciation and take the monastic path instead. People will be upset that you have made yourself useless to them, but you're completely within your rights.

(This is not really spiritually good, since it comes from a place of contempt, of course. But it's where, "fine, fuckit" gets you.)

Multiplied across a whole society, however, this does of course lead to sagging GDP and reduced living standards.

It's a little like the West's approach to Russia or Iran. Force is off the table? Ok: "You will no longer receive any gains from trade. We'll see who can last longer."

This is roughly where heterosexuality was in 2020, I fear sometimes. But, with everyone finally emerging from their houses now, I think they may appreciate other people more now. We'll see if it lasts.
The more likely AGI risk is that we expend tremendous resources trying to develop it, only to find it doesn't work very well or do anything useful.

Agree. I disliked the tab design of Australis (but remember being able to remove that curved nonsense) but Photon was great (until they started to mess with url bar dimensions etc).

Damn do I hate Proton.

Outside of laptop monitors, there are only a handful of monitors that are "Retina-quality" (>220 ppi). It is very doubtful that programming is difficult or impossible on all other monitors. Most computers cannot also drive a 32" 220 ppi monitor.

A possible alternative was discussed on HN half a year ago:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28550764

Check it out, it's great!
This sentiment is often voiced on HN and I don't understand it. Somehow the statement "other people have a different opinion from yours" is used as an argument for why some person's opinion can't be right (or more right, or something).

That's not only demonstrably false in lots of cases, it also doesn't advance discourse because now we're talking about potentially fictitious people with potentially fictitious beliefs that we just try to infer, instead of constructively arguing concrete points of view.

I claim that it's perfectly legitimate to think that certain other people are ill-equipped to make certain decisions. I believe in democracy because it is the least bad alternative, not because I somehow believe in the miraculously truthful insights of the general public.

More concretely, there's opinions that I disagree with but I respect that they are valid positions to be held, and there are opinions that I believe to be held out of ignorance. I don't know why I shouldn't be able to think that, and if other people want to believe that I'm ignorant, well they're free to do so and that doesn't affect my judgement generally (unless it comes from someone whose opinion I respect, of course).

That's of course different from the question of whether you should let people know that you think they're ill-informed. I agree that stating that overtly will probably not win you any sympathy.
I recently turned 50 and though I've had to wear glasses for long distance vision my entire life, my arm-length distance has only just succumbed to age. I just got a new prescription, but for the past year I've been bobbing my head back and forth to my screens like a chicken.

The solution is now bifocals, or multi-vision contacts which leave everything - both close and distant - slightly blurry. I can't say I'm in love with either solution, but that's life.

But hey! I like this idea! I could dial in my contacts prescription for 20/20 distance vision and just sit back in my La-Z-Boy. It might be a bit awkward going back to the office...
I feel like it became somewhat popular to bash Firefox (and Mozilla) on HN, which is sad. What exactly did you like about v1? It takes huge space and literally most buttons are completely useless. Are you using "refresh" very often? Do you need a huge "loading" indicator that takes space even when you're not loading? a button to show all-"history"-of-the-forward-button-in-the-current-tab? What makes v1 "the best ever"?
The only UX/UI request I have for Firefox: Stop changing it. Don't add any more useless tweaks or adware or bundled services.

Its UX "history" made it plummet from the top browser at one point to a forgotten has-been. These tweaks were not successes or celebrations, they were the death by a thousand cuts.
Carriers are marketing 5G as a public facing feature so they can charge more for it.

No. It is the "I will vote for this law if you contribute this much". In my country (New Zealand) that would get you jail time. Because it is bribery

One of the primary reasons that carriers are interested in 5G is because for the last decade they have been swapping spit (trading customers between each other, carrier A lowers the prices and take customers from carrier B, who responds in kind and takes from carrier C who responds with a marketing campaign with some deal on a phone etc. and etc.)

What they all are craving is new revenue. Once everyone who wants a cell phone, has one, it becomes a commodity item and service and that means, if anything, one price war after another. This is why they are interested in 5G and MEC (Mobile Edge Cloud) they are looking for new revenue. Right now, as part of the 5G push is the idea of wireless home internet, which is basically just a wifi AP that connects to the internet via the wireless network. To do that of course, you need a lot more capacity, 5G offers that to some extent, but realistically you need a ton more spectrum, which is why you have seen a spate of auctions lately.

Make no mistake here, 5G Home internet is most certainly not a cost savings approach for the carriers, they are literally spending billions on it, in hopes of luring customers away from the cable cos and telcos or other wired providers. Will it work? Perhaps. Time will tell. But to be sure, in my view, this is very good for the consumer of internet services, it will almost assuredly provide the customer with a lower cost per Mbps due to increased competition particularly with all the LEOS (Low Earth Orbit Sats) also in the mix.
This sounds like an objection based on a personal principle.

I think if you tried explaining your design choices like that in a technical interview, or to a teammate, they may not be persuaded.
They left Linux because they want stability and portability so they jumped to macOS? I don't understand.

Also: I just punched directions into GNOME Maps and it worked flawlessly and cast my entire desktop to my Shield TV via Chrome browser.
A Peak HN comment should include:

* Assumption that all humanity prefers and is extremently competent with the command line, and GUIs are merely there to hinder them.

* A statement about how any kind of tradeoff favouring aesthetics over performance is on a spectrum between stupid and evil.

* Paul Graham quote, as that establishes fact without further evidence.

* A few condescending comments about how you've been coding for a very, very long time - since the times when programming was done properly by experts.

* Absolute assertion that the article is clickbait
If it's analogy against "young adult" books you have to consider what the market for "young adults" books really is.

"Young adults" don't buy "Young adult" books, rather public librarians buy "Young adult" books and shelf them in a special section because they believe a collection of "Young adult" books will attract "Young adults" to the library and encourage lifelong reading.

Once a highly prolific author gets labeled a "Young adult" author they are certain to sell a number of profitable hardcovers to libraries and their publisher is likely to handcuff them to the grindstone, the way they did to Piers Anthony. (It is so agonizing to hear Anthony write about he's forced to write those cringeworthy Xanth books.)

It was discovered at some point that "Young adult" books can be turned to gold at the cinema multiplex, so you get movies like

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunger_Games

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_5th_Wave_(film)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divergent_(film)

Unfortunately for Anthony those Xanth books are so

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=squicky

that any effort to turn them into film and TV gets stuck in development hell.

Few public libraries collect video games so there is no market for "Young Adult" games marketed to libraries. I suppose you could turn "Young Adult" books into video games but turning books and movies into video games is a much less reliable way to make cash than turning books and video games into movies.
This article seems to be suggesting Biden can't provide any gas (which is bad) and also that evil American LNG providers are celebrating because they're going to sell lots of gas to the EU (which is also bad).

So logic suggests that at least one of these two diametrically opposed things isn't going to happen.

And one of the people they quote about how bad the second one would be, says that the EU doesn't even need US gas, which means the first one isn't even a problem.
I often think about these kinds of numbers when talking with my father-in-law, who's a marine geologist, and who regularly talks about time in millions of years. I wonder if he has a real grasp of the scale of what that means, in the same way that I might understand hours / days / months / years / decades. The only way he can explain it to me is by metaphor, which is what this post does. It's sort-of-effective, but what it mainly does it prove to me how little I comprehend numbers like that. I find even centuries are a little difficult to wrap my head around.
Well- one of my main gripes was that I had to spend a lot of time and work getting macOS to behave like Linux did - so at some point I decided to stop wasting my time and use the real thing :) so “whatever distro you use, wasn’t right for you to begin with; but you made it yours by tweaking it to your liking.” You’re not entirely wrong but it was far less painful than tweaking macOS.
“ you can tweak macOS to your liking” - see above. “ you have almost the whole GNU ecosystem available to you” yeah I tried the whole ports / fink thing and it was too much work vs. the equivalent on any Linux distribution (no extra work at all).
I would have thought this back in 2005, but eventually IE did fall. If users eventually dropped IE, why can't they also learn about Kagi or DDG or bing?
I'm not sure what's interesting about this article. Did it get pushed to the front page by bots?
Since the “right” is too, we’re just screwed all around.
It's okay-ish if you need to document that actually needs documenting, but if you use docstrings for typing/IDE assistance people will document every single thing for that, leading to useless "documentation" like in my previous comment.

That said, I personally prefer just a paragraph or two of prose over "structured" formats.
I quite like the new certificate page, the information is a lot better presented than the previous tiny window where the information was in weird nested panels and harder to find. It's a lot easier to search through the cert info now.

Yeah agree about the 'colorways' thing. I've read through their blog post a few times, and I still cannot understand why it was necessary or whether it accomplished its goals. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/introducing-new...
In general, no! But if someone proposed that all restaurants should perform chemical analyses on random samples of their food to check for spoilage and cross-contamination, I would have very similar questions about where the taco shack down the street is supposed to find an affordable chemical lab. Making it "instant and pretty for you to look at all the data" is a large, expensive endeavor and I don't see why it's necessary to achieve the regulatory goals here.
Aero Glass support is mentioned as a positive change but Aero Glass was always a hindrance for me; it made things hard to read and was disorienting.
There is no documentation for that for now but it's not complicated:

- git clone the project

- ./gradlew executableJar

- cp build/executable/* docker/app/kestra

- docker build -t myimage .

In resume, you just need to have an image providing java 11 and start the executable build by gradle

hope it help

The Dashews seems to regularly think 'out of the box'. They took their decades of experience in sailboat design, especially to hull shapes, and applied them to a power boat (so they could continue to travel in old/er age):

You know, if that were the only roadblock, I wish someone would take the top 10,000 Google queries and just manually curate them. Hire different interest groups -- outdoors, travel, cuisine, etc. -- and manually find the best hits buried deep in some subreddit. No fancy algorithms, just old-fashioned librarian-style research, but constantly updated with the latest findings and queries.

Would happily pay for that... even if it only has 5% of the coverage of Google, that's fine because Google is like 95% noise anyway.

I have no objections to claiming success in formalizing mathematics! As I've said, Lean is a big win for type theory.

But formalizing proofs with computers is essentially separate from the rigorous study of the foundations of math (consistency, relative strength of theories, etc.).

You've complained above about set theorists not learning "your stuff," and now it's my turn to complain. You write: 'Risk Assessment: depends how many "large cardinal" type things we want (unlike the 1970s category theorists I personally don't really care).' Large cardinal axioms are essential to the study of the relative consistency strength of mathematical theories. You personally might not care about them, but accommodating them is not a negotiable detail for anything that purports to be useful in the study of foundations.

And yeah, I'm aware the HoTT people have ways around this, fine. My comment is more about the perspective conveyed by your remarks: if you want to have a seat at the table in a discussion about foundational issues, you need to understand basic facts like this. My suspicion is that you might have had bad interactions with set theorists because you don't share certain knowledge they take for granted, and then they get frustrated and end the conversation early. I truly believe that if you went and read a book on set theory and logic, and learned, e.g., wny large cardinals are important, you might understand better where I and other people are coming from.

Anecdotally, I'm in a couple+ tech (ish) groups on FB. More and more the questions posted are obviously by passing internet search (e.g.,Google) and going right to the group. Simple shit that people simply can't be bothered to search for, and they don't even bother with the FB group search. Imho, this behaviour wastes too much of the groups' collective bandwidth.

So not only has FB hoarded the infomation, but it has no incentive to fix the group experience (e.g., prompt an input for group search during the asking bit) as it keeps engagement up.
