More likely she had clients simply deliver food to her place, lots of different clients at the same location, it would send red flags to the fraud detection algorithms. Rather than have a system in place asking clients if they chose that delivery they just silently ban the address.

(Yes, I read the thread and how she had the food sent to another place, that could've been the triggering event for the algorithm.)

She should just list her place on AirBnB and it would probably be sorted.
What it says on the tin might not be what's inside.
Bitrate is a total red herring here. What matters is what computation is performed, not the rate at which it is performed. That's like saying a 4-bit microcontroller isn't a computer because it can't run Doom.
Is there a geometric model relative to this? EG: "corgi near the fireplace" but the output is a 3d model of the corgi and fireplace with shaders rather than an image.
Let me answer your question with a question - what is the processing power of your brain if you're so sure it's less than your laptop?
What's the most likely explanation? Addresses of hostels raising a red flag because of past abuse, and most companies do just that. What does "sex workers" or "cross-platform surveillance" have to do with it? From what I can gather, nothing, it being an unsubstantiated twitter thread.
Agree, but for me, there also are simply some features no other editors have, especially when it comes to navigation.

Some examples are all the ivy autocompletion, command autocompletion, dired, adjust-parens, windmove, smart parents, expand and contract region, agressive-indent, avy, swiper, hydra, and so on.

And it seems whatever I think about exists. Every time I go: How do I? There's a solution, and if not, I can just quickly add a function for it myself.

That's what keeps me in Emacs. Some other editors are more polished, and have better UX, might be more responsive, but there's always something they don't have and I miss from Emacs, or something that I don't like how they do it and I can't customize to my liking.
As a Debian user in a previous life, and a current NixOS user, this whole debacle amuses me greatly, as I no longer give a shit about paths like /usr/bin or /bin, beyond a handful of binaries needed to bootstrap my environment. I've even moved those paths into a read-only filesystem on some systems!
Book recommendation: "Entangled Life" by Merlin Sheldrake [0].

The author discusses the possibility of intricately connected subterranean mycelium networks electrically signaling each other acting as a giant nervous system. He stops himself from calling it a giant brain, but admits that the possibility isn't really far fetched given everything else that we know about fungi.

It's a fantastic book. Strong recommend.

Dall-E 2 seems to be incapable to catch the essence of the art. I'm not really surprised by it, I'd be surprised a lot if it could. But nevertheless: if you looked in the eye of a Girl With A Pearl Earring[1], you'd be forced to stop and to think what does she have on her mind right now. Or may be you had some other question in your mind, but it really stops people to think. But none of Dall-E interpretations have this quality. Works inspired by Girl With A Pearl Earring sometimes have at least part of that power, like Girl With a Babmoo Earring[2]. But none of Dall-E interpretations have such a power.

And this observation may lead to a great consequences for visual arts. I had a lot of joy of looking at different Dall-E interpretations to find what the flaw of the interpretation that forbids it to be a piece of art of an equal value to the original. It is a ready made tool to search for explanations of the Power of Art. It cannot say what detail make a picture to be an artwork, but it allow to see multiple data points, and to narrow the hypothesis space. My main conclusion is that the pearl earring have nothing to do with the power of art. It is something in the eye, and probably with the slightly opened mouth. (Somehow Dall-E pictured all interpretations with closed lips, so it seems to be an important thing, but I need more variation along this axis to be sure).

I have a 34" screen. On the first page, I couldn't see what this was about.

Why make me guess? (pun intended)
I think it's the intention that counts. When I'm reading on a multi-purpose device like a tablet or smartphone, I can get easily distracted and have an urge to do something else. Some days however I can get lost in a book on it.

The kindle is unique in that you can't do anything but read on it. Same thing with a physical book.

I also believe that the physical traits such as how far you are in a book and the smells / sights can also have plenty to do with it. You don't get that with a digital equivalent.

With all that said, I don't see any difference in comprehension. Some books are simply better on physical and some are simply better on digital.

Using Clayton Christensen's Jobs To Be Done Framework, by giving your devices a job, the more successful you'll be in the outcome you seek. For example I give my iPad Mini a job to be done of being my e-reader at night. And it works wonderfully as I don't swipe through random apps if it's already my intention to read.
Show HN: I made Million – It's a Virtual DOM made for the future
Repo here: https://github.com/aidenybai/million

My name is Aiden Bai and I'm really interested in HCI research, particularly within user interface (UI) and web development. At the time of writing this, I'm a student at Camas High School.

In July 2021, Million.js began as an experiment with Virtual DOM because I was curious with how UI libraries worked. I was frustrated with the lack of a modern, fast, and modular Virtual DOM library for JavaScript. Virtual DOM had been around for almost a decade, yet many Virtual DOM libraries still struggle with render speed compared to newer methods of rendering.

Today, Million.js is the first effort to bring Virtual DOM into the future after hundreds of hours of experimenting. Traditional Virtual DOM libraries have yet to leverage new technological paradigms in the new age of compiled Transitional UI Libraries. Million.js leverages the compiler to create predefined paths, instead of executing all the work in the browser.

Hope this serves as an interesting example of how older technologies (relative to JavaScript time) can evolve to modern time (similar to how Solid took Knockout's fine-grained strategy and applied modern techniques)
Yes, that was my point sorry for my bad sentence. Just wanted to explain this extremist capitalists that we already make products and services more expensive by forcing companies to respect basic human rights so it won't be a completely new thing to consider CO2 as a dangerous substance and demand companies to pay a tax or even forbid shit like bitcoin where from what I read there are better alternatives.

Edit, so from my understanding OP was selfish and thinking at his personal costs and not the costs for current children or future generations.
> E.g. pregnancy is a protected class under many laws.

I think that falls under "health" in OP's post.
> My experience in the US is that video alone is not sufficient to get a bad driver arrested.

That's because "bad driving" is not a crime. You probably got that person charged with fleeing the scene of an accident or some kind of road rage charge. Depends on what happened.
Yeah, think about the recent controversy over the "lesser black woman" tweet. [1] The professor deleted the tweet and said it was not worded well. If he could have changed it, he probably would have.

Then we'd have a mess of likes and RTs, and it would be pretty important to know whether those people were interacting with the original tweet or an anodyne replacement.

Agreed. I was all ramped up to be vehemently opposed to the bill, but then I read it (it's only a few pages of giant, monospaced font) and it seems... eminently reasonable. It protects against right-wing indoctrination as well as left-wing indoctrination as it pertains to sexual identity, and it targets a pretty agreeable age range--it still leaves the door open for proselytizing to older students (I'm not convinced this is a good thing, but I appreciate the difficulty of legislating against proselytizing without infringing on legitimate education). I can't understand why anyone would oppose this bill unless they explicitly want to indoctrinate very young children.

Isn't that essentially what programming already is?
I said you just happen to know unhappy people, not that you only know unhappy people.
For me it doesnt even come close to it. Maybe if you wtite your own plugins but even then there are many limitations. The one-window problem for example.

In emacs I can overwrite ANY function wherever it is from my config and change for example how shr (an html renderer) handles/styles headings. Its crazy!

One MAJOR thing that emacs does better is making things work together. I have orderless installed for matching strings in ANY completion. It works everywhere while in VSCode you cant even get close to that.

VSCode is great if you like the default and dont want to „build your text editor“ cause thats what emacs basically is. Its a toolbox with which you can build the editor to fit your exact needs with almost no limitations
Wait a little longer and then refresh!! The price might go down!! I once was trying to use Lyft because I missed a bus.. I searched again for the ride and the price went up like crazy, tried again and it stayed high.. Then I decided to just wait for the bus. After some 15 minutes I searched Lyft again and the price was back to normal if not lower!!
> My laptop has several orders of processing power more than my brain, whose neurons fire around ~200 milliseconds.

The classic counter-point to the speed difference here is that biological brains are massively parallel - no synchronized system clock, every logical element acting async and in parallel - so that the number of operations per second per element may be tiny (say 10s per second) while the throughput of the entire system is massive.

It's similar logic to deeply pipe-lined processor architectures - pipelining may slow down execution of a particular instruction but allow greater global throughput.

Also, the logical operations performed by neurons (I believe neuron behavior is modeled using differential equations) appear significantly more complex than the boolean switching behavior of the logic gates in CPUs. So the amount of computation may be significantly larger than it appears.

Ask HN: Interest in a 0-downtime managed Postgres migration tool?
I recently discovered how much of a hassle it is to migrate off of Heroku Postgres. Both to keep the user from screwing themselves and as a vendor lock-in mechanism there's no possibility of running an external replica for your Heroku Postgres database. Unless I'm missing something after a bunch of Googling it seems like there is a market gap for a tool that allows for a seamless migration away from a Postgres DB that won't allow for replicas.

I imagine that, given some constraints on what queries you allow on your database, you could proxy connections to a managed Postgres database while feeding them simultaneously to a new database. Starting from a snapshot of the old database one could catch the new database up to a live state of the old database and then swap over all connections to the new one.

Does such a proxy already exist? I'd love to know as I could use it. If not it might be fun to build and a good side-project.
The police didn't care about the bad driving, just that the driver tried to stab me. That's despite the fact that I think the driver nearly running me over was more dangerous than their attempt to stab me!
You could try installing an RSS app on the iPad and browse your favorite sites in an efficient way, although I'm not sure modern RSS apps even work on old iPads, so I think you might have to get the latest model of iPad for that to work. RSS greatly diminishes your screentime and it's up to you to filter out crap you don't want to see (mostly through curation of the feeds you subscribe to).

Yes.

And it says something else again when one cannot even distinguish different professional approaches and moral/ethical/spiritual development.

Edit for an Orwell quote on Newspeak:

The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Byron—they'll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually contradictory of what they used to be. Even the literature of The Party will change. Even the slogans will change. How could you have a slogan like Freedom is Slavery when the concept of freedom has been abolished?
Thanks for the clarification :)

According to https://bcachefs.org/ regarding snapshots:

Any major issues to mention up front, in order to stop someone curious from playing around with it? Or just minor ones that would mostly be unnoticeable? Would obviously not use it for something serious yet, but to get a feel for the filesystem with some data.
It's amazing how many workarounds never get removed from big codebases. For example, look at Chrome/Chromium's about:gpu page. Some driver workarounds are still applied for bug reports that haven't been looked at for a decade.

This isn't really any clearer than your earlier comment.

> iframe is a full page.

An iframe loads whatever you give it. If you give it a URL to a "full page"/"whole page", then it loads that. If the URL leads to e.g. "a div" or "a table", then that will be loaded. That's under the control of the person who's putting stuff on the other end of the URL. To repeat, there is exactly one case where this doesn't hold up: when you want the loaded content to be inline and not block-level (e.g. "some text"—and if inline content is what you meant, then you should say that instead of just giving another vague response; again, though, even if that is what you want, how would that be relevant to the use case we're talking about here: embedding tweets?)

Biogas is carbon negative, since you make it with manure and food waste that would otherwise give off methane.

EVs and heat pumps are over 4x the efficiency. 75% of your energy just not needed anymore to do the exact same work.

The real clincher is that most of the storage they predict is hydrogen and at the end they calculate that the crazy amount of storage required for Germany as an island is in fact, the same size as the existing gas storage facilities which can be reused for that purpose.

Which I think really rams home how utterly boring this allegedly insurmountable challenge is.

A nice think about this work is that adopting this strict model in real life codebases is going to bring to light cases where it isn't enough, and hopefully more scrutiny can be directed towards those cases.
It's worth taking a step back to think just how awful this whole enterprise is. The article is mostly about their marketing and scanning affiliates feeling scammed in what looks like very direct labor exploitation. Also the biometrics they are collecting are not being collected with informed consent. There's a distinct air of colonialism about the whole enterprise. The cryptocurrency they promise will be the payment for those biometrics does not exist. And even if it did, it seems quite possible the whole thing is just another crypto scam.

And financing all this perfidy is Andreessen Horowitz, Khosla Ventures, and Sam Altman.
I think morality plays into it. If morality wasn't an aspect of this, you could say the same thing about rapists: they're universal in human society, they're at a unique high risk of abuse and discrimination. But criminal history is not a protected class because society's morality says we shouldn't protect them. This isn't to say that sex workers are like rapists, but only to illustrate that the spectrum of morality influences what is considered a protected class. And despite what people might want it to be, sex work has pretty consistently been in a gray area of morality: both desired and rejected. I don't think it is at the threshold to make it a protected class, at least in the USA

Ask HN: Do women have an easier life in the west?
Despite the shiny new veneer created by computers, this is a very old dark pattern called "fraud". While there are definitely shortcomings and failures of regulators, I'd say we're better off expecting them to generally crack down on fraud rather than not.
I like playing around in the crypto space. I always have. Using ZK-Snarks with biodata allows you to verify, profit and protect your data. Instead of handing it to some entity to do god knows with. I give it to apple and their database isn't just a hash, it's full and open catalouging with all my other data taken from the the many sensors in the phone and products.

Worldcoin's vision is a positive contribution to my life and many people i know who also enjoy playing around in the crypto space. People are adults, let them be adults and make their own decisions. & stop bashing the crypto-autists like me who enjoy playing in the cryptoverse, for the only reason that it's wierd and different.
It's a shame that so many on both sides wold be happy to impose their will on others.

It could have been that code completion was the feature Guido saw would seal the deal with users. Good code completion is a great tool for exploratory coding. I frequently found about new APIs through the IDE before reading the documentation. This has been extremely valuable since Visual Basic 3, IIRC.

I like it - sometimes I want something to really take an integer (or an explosive bolt) and not any number (or a warhead). If I can say that the argument is supposed to be something, then it's harder to the IDE user to misuse it with unpredictable results.

Or, if my library or function can do something I never expected it could, I welcome the patch to make it obvious.

> "To ensure that these ambitious growth scenarios are not hampered by lengthy planning procedures, local opposition and contradictions with other protected goals, the government establishes the principle that the use of renewable energies is of overriding public interest and will be given priority over other concerns until greenhouse gas neutrality is achieved."

Not exactly as clean as it sounds. They merely want to take away the burden of the developer to get comments and approval from people before they proceed with planning.

Individuals can still sue and block projects.

This is just talk in my opinion. Like when the government declared in 2010 that they want to have 1 million EV on the road in 2020.

Or when they decided to shut off nuclear and replace it with renewables and instead built out coal and gas.

Or when they decided to phase out coal by 2035…

But I don't mean to "get back" at sex workers, I mean to "get back" at hypocrites who all seem to universally love the private-company/just-build-your-own-X argument when someone they don't like is deplatformed. I find it amusing that no one ever seems to make that argument when someone on their side is the victim.

edit: I also just find it very odd and disappointing that so many on the left are so eager to defend the "rights" of massive multinational corporations. As someone who used to be proud to call myself a democrat, what the hell is that about???

In my area you can "find" multiple Chrysler 300Cs for rent for $600/day. I say "find" because many of them are unavailable for days or even weeks on end as being rented.

Good scam if you're, say, a dealer. Have one of your customers "rent" your car through Turo at an inflated rate. Bonus: you don't even have to let them have your car. They're just paying you and saying they rented it.
