Re-read the history, start from https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/nov/17/nazis-based-th... one thing I've learnt from my grandparents was: élites who speak English are brother with whose who speak German, in the sense you can imaging.

Of course, that's does not means Putin isn't similarly a dictator, the the blackbird is black like the crow of course but actually Russians aren't ready for Democracy so unfortunately they haven't much choice. Back in the past when bolsheviks overthrown the Mensheviks (thanks to Kaiser money, via Sweden) was already clear that seeds of Democracy were not enough, for Russian Federation Putin now it's the sole option, the other one will being back to a new and correct Soviet Union but that's an utopia so they can just try to be back as an empire. That's is.

Similarly most EU citizens are pushed again toward nazi ideas, we are around the thirst 20-30 years of 1900, a new world war is "needed" and many civilians will be killed, NOT much by Russian army, far more by militia armed by the same cancers of humanity that crafted nazi-fascism before.

BTW I'm Italian but I have some Russian and Ukrainian friends with various political ideas, and some news: if you imaging that "cellphones have trouble working from bomb shelters" you are just spread propaganda for a very simple reason: Russian targets are unknown to us, but Russian strategy is not: they do not bomb anything like USA in the WWII or NATO thereafter, they want a country or part of it, not ruins, when they bomb hospitals they bomb military targets occupied by Azov, C14, Pravy Sektor, Svoboda, ... not because that's what their press say but because bombs are not cheap and they haven't the USA military-industry complex nourished by wars and reconstructions thereafter, so an error can happen, but nothing more than that for mere practical reasons. Bomb shelters beside these days does not exists anymore than in the USA and some abandoned in Swiss. They came from WWII kind of mass-bombing not today's one.

So please do not consider that a sterile polemics or a personal attack but from what you write I can be wrong of course, but I suspect you have absolutely no knowledge of what's going on in Ukraine nor in EU. That's perfectly legit, you probably just "trust the system", accepting propaganda press not that different than soviet Pravda, as reality, but on HN typically there are a cohort of people who look under the tree, no one is immune to propaganda, no one can really know the truth but dissecting news enough to understand what's real and what's manufactured at a certain level is easy.
You can probably use this 1 week (3 scheduled) outage to ask for a discount, "your cloud offering is a bucket of shit, your data center edition is too expensive, my higher-ups told me to find something else...".
Do you really think giving everyone $5000 is going to make a "fair distribution of wealth"? This statement shows a lack of even basic math skills.

FXHash is a generative art site for the creation and sale of NFTs on the Tezos blockchain [0].

The article discusses various analytics that are available because the platform and the underlying blockchain are "open". Regardless of your stance on NFTs, cryptocurrency and whether they're interesting, a ponzi scheme or a fad, this article and the site it analyzes provide insight into a real market with real money being exchanged.

The site is less than a year old and had upwards of $10M+ in volume. You can judge for yourself how much of that is "genuine".

I trust the managed language more in this regard. I don't know specifically the situation on the BSD side, but on Linux userland, once it uses anything that is not the Kernel or glibc, it's anyone's guess if the ELF will even run if not on the exact same packages on the same machine that compiled it.
So the fact that they release this now means that they have an even better detection and tracking mechanism? Or do they just want others to believe that?

From what I've read, stimulus in infrastructure building is rarely correlated with inflation, provided the new infrastructure is useful to continued growth/expansion.

This is an area that a lot of people are probably interested in. We still don't really have practical robots, self-driving cars, and personal assistants, and some sort of general context-sensitive learning intelligence breakthrough is needed to get us there. Traditional machine learning and deep learning have not yet been sufficient to get us there, and brain-based approaches might. It would be good to hear about more of the companies pursuing this sort of thing (maybe with less of a focus on brains and more of a focus on general understanding), and how to proactively contribute beyond the numenta-specific content here. Its a start though!
2hrs 16 min is the usual time for London to Paris. So much quicker and nicer than flying all round really.
Inflation was baked in even prior to the pandemic. Biden bears little blame here. The previous president was starting trade wars that were already starting to blow up supply chains even before covid. The Fed with it's years of loose money policy, the previous president (who, in addition to trade wars, also blew up the deficit at a time when it should have been reduced) and of course covid deserve most of the blame. There's not a whole lot Biden can do to stop this inflation, it's up to the Fed but I doubt they'll take decisive enough action. These puny 1/4% rate increases aren't going to do anything anywhere near fast enough. We need to take the medicine that Dr. Volcker would prescribe were he here.

Taking a train from Hamburg to, say, Malaga, would be pretty uncomfortable. The distance is too big and you would have to switch trains several times, with a risk of one train running late and missing the next connection.

But for distances up to 4-5 hours by train, especially if the connection is direct, it is better to take the train. While the flight time may be much shorter, the need to get to/from the airport (which tend to be far away from the city itself, if only because of noise issues) and to be at the airport 2 hours before departure will consume a lot of time.

Train stations, OTOH, are usually located fairly close to the city center, if not squarely in it, for historical reasons (most important railway links were built prior to 1870, when the cities were much smaller than today).
> I mean, compared to the US, it’s a delight! For a similar city-to-city distance (Portland to Seattle), I’d love a 90min transit mode, especially if it was relatively cheap.

Fully agree. Years ago, I took Amtrak from Minnesota to Seattle, and it was 36 hours. I enjoyed most everything about it except that it took. So. Long. I rarely drive down to Portland, but if we had a ~1.5hr train, I'd probably do it several times a year. Same for Seattle to BC.

I may have a rose-colored perspective of Europe's rail, but I also really enjoy Paris <-> Caen or <-> Versailles. My kids loved the night train from Paris to Venice, too. And having just flown from the Midwest to Seattle with a layover, I would GLADLY trade that ~11 hour travel day (from arrival at the airport to getting picked up at SeaTac) for an ~18 hour cross-country TGV. It'll never happen, but I can dream.
> Too expensive for the route

That's the one that surprised me the most. I shouldn't have been surprised, I suppose, given that even Amtrak is quite expensive compared to air travel, but I was a little shocked at just how expensive trains in Europe can be. Especially the good ones.

Agree. Trains make perfect sense in metro areas like London, Berlin, Paris, Frankfurt, etc. Everywhere else, they are a complete waste of money, are difficult to run on a regular schedule, service only narrow corridors, are inconvenient to get to/from for daily commutes and increase total commute time 2+ times. To increase use of public transport, we need to increase convenience, not reduce cost.
And, I think, over time we'd see more and more of that HI cost be transferred to employee salaries. Supply and demand is often taught in classes as "If this bar shifts here the economically efficient price point shifts over to here" - the portion that ends up frequently omitted is that that shift takes time. It's why some taxes are leveraged on employers and some on employees - in the end the net result is the same, but we can end up enjoying decades of beneficial inefficiencies while the market works to respond to the shift.
I think they add that because otherwise you read about the problem, panic, and then spend hours digging through your own data to make sure it's all there. Unaffected customers like being told they're not affected.
I've been using macs for 9 years and never knew about option+click. Granted I've been using apps for window management since forever as the native tools suck or are almost hidden.
I think basisword is British (as am I). I think Uber came about because taxis in the US sucked. Over here we never had the same problems with no-shows or overcharging (I'm speaking in general, of course this varied a lot).

Uber hasn't done nearly so well in the UK as in the US. Outside of London, you can't find an Uber anywhere and the same local taxi firms from before Uber are still competing, largely based on their local reputation. (Plus now they all have whitelabel apps which have all Uber's features)

Yes, but note usually around 30% of the ticket price of a european short-haul flight is already other taxes. This is compared to train tickets that include a 30%+ subsidy

> mostly backed by hundreds of thousands of Mysql instances

Kind of. It's part of the recipe but one you find at these large tech companies (I've worked at FB and GOOG) is they have the resources to bend even large/standard projects like MySQL to their will, while ideally preserving the good ideas that made them popular in the first place. There are wrappers/layers/modifications/etc that eventually evolve to subsume the original software, such that is acting more like a library than a standalone service/application. So, for example, while your data might eventually sit in a MySQL table, you'll never know, and likely didn't write anything specific to MySQL (or even SQL) to get there.

That's not what a dropkick is. In a similar way to someone else pushed a cat, the man used his foot to move the cat away from the floor, but because of the zero-g, it caused the cat to move to the ceiling. Hardly unethical.
Instead of DARE they should have prescribed shrooms.
An HTM layer requires far more parameters than a traditional deep neural network, on the order of gigabytes for one or two basic HTM layers. A cortical column is going to have many such layers, and a 1000-brains model will have many (thousands?) of cortical columns. In my opinion, the underlying idea is fantastic but the practical aspects of implementing it are daunting.

HiFi shops won’t let you try anymore either. People come in to try them and then just buy them online.

Locking the taskbar to the bottom solves one of my most frustrating support cases.

Did they also make it impossible to resize the task bar so it occupies half of the screen?
fyi GP’s post is sarcasm. In UK “rail replacement bus” means the train route is cancelled and there’s a replacement bus instead.

Bus networks can work over small high density areas. Johannesburg has been building a bus network with exclusive lanes for years, but it’s designed to work in conjunction with its part complete metro. Cambridge, UK, has limited “busways” which connect the local villages. However, over large distances, I fail to see how buses can be more efficient. A single train can move hundreds of people over hundreds of kilometres, at much higher speeds than a bus, and with very little pollution.

Prolog; I did a lot of this (well, hundred+ hours, maybe) in college, but that was 1988 - 1990.

There were toy versions of this in Scheme as examples in SICP, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, that I enjoyed, and some AI of the era was based on reasoning from unification of contraints, lots of Lisp.

Later in real life, my boss was describing a problem he wanted to address with the scientific computing package that his team (before my time) had created, and I said it sounded like a production-rule system, and that he should try using GNU Make. He got it to work very quickly (!) and we moved on.

Semantic Web craze of early 2000s was lots of assertions in RDF, unification with OIL, then I think that was eaten by more mainstream XML SOAP. All of that work seemed to collapse under the weight if its XML infrastructure, but I thought that lots of it was rebooted with much more lightweight "NoSQL" JSON and LINQ F# dotNET.

So I feel like a bystander to all this. I've certainly been using Make a long time, but the F# and tuple-store apps are more fun!

Im an European having spent few years in US and also used to complain about this, until I learnt what delays mean in domestic US flights.

He's had Jack Dorsey, Bernie Sanders, The Undertaker, Mike Tyson, Miley Cyrus, Kanye West... and many more, most of them very entertaining and insightful.
Or a government printing money to hire private contractors, completely disregarding its ability do anything on its own.

To some extent, this is the curse of being the creator of the global reserve currency. The US government can, in theory, print as much money as it wants and pay off whoever it wants to do whatever it wants. This also extends to the academic and financial (VC) sectors, because a lot of that liquidity comes directly from the Government/Fed.

Unfortunately this leads to a culture of corruption (who gets the grants/contracts/funding?) and widespread fraud. This causes the ROI of money printing to go down, the money printer accelerates and we get inflation too.
Yes, or if they write what a dictator says (eg Putin) then people read it and think "hmm the newspapers report that he said this, so it must be important, maybe it's true"

And in that way the dictators can fool the citizens in democratic countries via their own newspapers
Some apps don't even provide a help menu. They may come with a man page.
Jira cloud became much more complex when they went all in on AWS. The reason for the cloud/server fork 4 or 5 years ago was so that cloud engineers could couple to a zillion AWS services without having to build back any backwards compatibility. So data stores are very much more disparate than just a PgSQL DB and redis (which is how it used to be).
From what I have read, one of the issues though is that there are only a finite number of trees that can be planted on the earth so carbon offsets of that nature are in a sense a one-off thing available to humanity - they buy us some time but aren't a sustainable solution by themselves.

European trains don't really do that much freight though. They tend to be optimized to carry people. America is actually way ahead of Europe in terms of rail freight, something like 10x depending on the measurement.

The capital of the EU to the capital of France in an adjacent country is pretty much the definition of good train travel in Europe. Also anything TGV in France. As sibling noted, Eurostar from London is also great. Various other routes are pretty good.

Prices are pretty high by and large especially if you haven't booked well in advance.

As someone else mentioned, very fragmented in Europe generally. I actually try to take trains in Europe but not always a great option especially when traversing multiple countries.

> The problem with that theory is that while a cat is falling it is in zero G.

Ah, yes, I see your point. Air resistance would eventually kick in and provide positive G, but not in a short enough fall. And cats are heavy enough that "a short enough fall" probably includes most falls in which they are observed to land on their feet.
As an etsy seller. I don't really care about the rising fees, they send so many customers my way I am okay with that. What I do care about is that their report features don't work. I have reported so many shops just reselling commercial items that I am shopping for. Literally they don't even remove the branding, just straight up reselling a finished good that isn't vintage. So lame.
I don't think that was the point of the exit interview article. My understanding is it was mostly that nothing you say will make any difference to the company, in all probability - so there is no need to go into the interview looking out for anyone but yourself.

And definately do not go in to air your grievances.

But I generally agree with the mercenary approach, my personal ethos when working for a company is - take as much money from them as possible and provide my best estimate of (money+some reasonable extra) back in value.

The reasonable extra is an investment of time and effort with the goal of paying out as more money later.

I'm sure that it keeps track of which direction is up with the same inner ear mechanism that we use for our balance. Given that it starts properly oriented thanks to gravity, and doesn't spend long falling, this gives it a good idea which direction is up when it lands.

Spend long enough out of gravity, and it will get confused. As do we.
If you researched the negotiations that led to the ACA, you would see that the public option was favored by Obama, but had to be nixed to get a few holdout senators on board. You can thank the Obama admin for at least getting rid of pre existing conditions clauses and for out of pocket maximums, which was more progress that anyone has made before or after.
It isn't immune, but it certainly hasn't gotten to the point it has in the US. We had a failed insurrection two years ago that killed 5 people. The truck convoy was a bunch of morons thinking they could get their way by going to Ottawa and being absolutely obnoxious --- and ultimately failing because no one wanted to put up with their shit.

Social media is a factor. It's not the main factor, and Haidt's weird focus on it rather than deeply entrenched and growing economic disparities, lack of education in the US, the rise of the religious right, and other factors is in my view kinda silly.
To overcome depression, it helps to know the facts.Depression is a medical condition and not “laziness” or a temporary response to normal grief and/or discouragement.
Mutual defensive pacts are not transitive. Germany being in NATO does not mean that every country Germany has a defense pact with is de facto in NATO.

Finland probably doesn't want to find out the hard way how the USA is going to decide to roll here. Being a NATO member removes all doubt as to what happens.
Are you aware of the huge wealth transfer that happened due to the PPP loans that a lot of them have been forgiven?

The best thing is, the database is public. I know so many people who got dozens to hundreds of thousands of dollars and got it forgiven by the govt.

The stimulus is a distraction. We had the largest wealth transfer from the working class to the rich during the pandemic and they've got us squabbling about the small stimulus checks.
Autism is a spectrum. What we really need is better tolerance for people who don’t follow social and societal norms, especially women.

I assume being officially diagnosed as autistic actually gets you respect, self-actualization, and accommodations. But ideally, those things should be given to “neurodivergent” people regardless of whether they have a doctor’s diagnosis.
By that logic, no one should complain about anything, because we don't live in literal hell. But that is of course preposterous.
