Because voters reason like language models, not like symbolic ais.
California had just had its net population change going negative for the first time recently. There is a threshold where more businesses leave that it’s starting to reach. The cost of living doesn’t help along with crime. Climate change will also make the situation worse in the coming years, where we eventually lose temperate weather in exchange for forest fires. We’re already experiencing failing infrastructure like regular blackouts and issues with the bridges.

The state’s main saving grace for business is that non-competes are not legal in the state. It’s lucky that no other state is smart enough to do the same thing yet. If Oregon or Washington did it, it would be game over.
Just trying to understand, what do you mean by a "Mexican US Citizen"?

When I read this originally, I was a bit confused why the child would not have been a US citizen as well by merit of being born to a US Citizen...but I think you're saying that the parent received US citizenship after the child was born?
I agree with you that it's not about utilitarianism or lack of interest in aesthetics. Kim Kardashian's home is an extreme example (google it) and she was clearly concerned with aesthetics when making decisions about how to decorate.

However I don't think the opposite of the "industrial design" that you appreciate is "pastoralism" (the images in the article are, but they're also ugly). The opposite is hard to describe but the French do it well. Hannah Arendt:

> Modern enchantment with "small things," though preached by early twentieth-century poetry in almost all European tongues, has found its classical presentation in the petit bonheur of the French people. Since the decay of their once great and glorious public realm, the French have become masters in the art of being happy among "small things," within the space of their own four walls, between chest and bed, table and chair, dog and cat and flowerpot, extending to these things a care and tenderness which, in a world where rapid industrialization constantly kills off the things of yesterday to produce today's objects, may even appear to be the world's last, purely humane corner.
Republicans like Eisenhower, Nixon and Bush all got re-elected after first terms of job losses. (Reagan is the only Republican post WWII to post first term job gains). If the economy were the end all be all, then there would be no need to have a disrespectful slogan to score ideological points.
How can crypto algorythm be not open-source? They are even impossible to be obfuscated.
The gas queues started well before Carter. They started in '73. And Carter was calling for the US to move to alternative energy sources that would make us less vulnerable to undemocratic states - this was well before any other prominent pols were calling for this. Had we listened to him we wouldn't be in a lot of the messes we're currently in.
How is the 79 oil crisis an example of Carter getting "played" exactly?
An interesting concept in theory, minus the cryptocurrency nonsense. Unfortunately, a browser is already a pretty ambitious project even using an open source engine, adding in a gigantic bespoke productivity suite on top of it is a massive undertaking - it's a certainty that this software is going to suck hard compared to the alternatives, but... maybe an MVP is enough to gain traction, if they have a shitton of funding and the project stays alive it might be worthwhile with a few years of engineering time.
We took our business elsewhere. It’s becoming crazytown back there.
The answer in this scenario is the same as before: if the extraditing country, aware that this is a possibility, allows the extradition to go ahead, then the person extradited has been subject to due process in their country.

In addition, the victims of Y and Z may reasonably consider it unfair if the perpetrator avoids prosecution on this basis. If Y and Z were a crime in in the perpetrator's country, it would not be unfair for him to be prosecuted for them, even if the evidence, or his being in custody, came only from his being arrested for X; this happens quite frequently.

It also sometimes happens that extradition is made conditional - for example, on the condition that the person is not subject to the death penalty. For a couple of obvious reasons, reneging on such an agreement after the extradition would have negative long-term consequences for the country that does it.
Your first critique was ad-hominem.

Your second critique: assumes the original presentation had to be accompanied by methodology and proof to be of value; derives an implicit attempt-to-distort from your perspective of the scene at hand; devolves into paternalism to end in unsubstantiated moralism.

I might even agree with the spirit underlying your words—given, say, the meaning-loss of the company’s name—this just isn’t the way to convey it.
Yeah this is the issue, crypto is terrible for the environment and the preferred means of payment for everything illegal.

Decentralization can be good if you have an oppressive government, but if you don’t it seems net negative

There is no political will to fight for immigrants; skilled or otherwise. Without votes or the organized capital needed to lobby congress the immigration situation is only likely to get worse. The right wing's view of immigration has morphed over the past decade from "only skilled" to "no immigration at all" and the left has capitulated completely. This shift in attitudes towards immigration isn't unique to America but it's infuriating and depressing to see. Immigration is America's policy crown jewel. It's madness to see Europe's stagnation and think "yes, that's what I want for this country"
It's amazing that so many things that are medicinal, or otherwise intended for people who are not at 100% are packaged in a way that makes them impossible to open.

Zyrtec-D, and Flonase come to mind. Two great examples of companies that must really hate their customers.

Zyrtec-D has to be opened by peeling a micro-thin layer of foil away from a paper-thin piece of plastic.

Flonase is sealed inside a plastic blister pack that can only be opened with stout scissors or garden shears. It is designed to not be openable by human hands.

I'm sure this packaging saved the companies 1¢ per package in costs, and earned some North Shore middle manager the bonus he needed to buy his kid a second boat.

Sadly, the number of things sold on Amazon in "Frustration-free packaging" is dwindling by the day.

All of this goes along with what I call the Elderly Tax. As a society, in many ways we punish people for living a long life.

For example, at the grocery store, a theoretical eight-pack of bottled water costs $3.00. A theoretical 32-pack of bottled water costs $5.00. But no older person can lift a 32-pack of water. So to get 32 bottles of water, an older person has to pay 140% more just because they made the mistake of not dying young.
Perhaps some hyperbole there. Profit is feedback. It all depends on how the profit is calculated. 'How many people benefit' would be a productive profit-motive.
I partially agree! But atm I’m using the tool a lot, it’s working well and as expected. Let’s say that for the time it took me to develop it was definitely worth it
Show HN: YOLO v4 Tiny with Tensil on Ultra96 FPGA Board
I agree. If you check out my comment elsewhere on this thread I explain what I think about it.

VR is Meta’s only chance to control a hardware platform. It’s really as simple as that. As long as they don’t control iOS or Android they’re at the mercy of Google and Apple, who have no interest in making life easy for Meta.

For Meta, VR has to work to stave off their decline. But unless they’ve got some revolutionary hardware up their sleeve, they’re working with a sweat and nausea-inducing niche.
The article would be much better if you dropped mentioning function colors at all then, since your definition really has little to do with the original concept.

As-is, bringing it up just muddies your argument.

Critically, function colors are an issue of the language design and here you’re finding limitations in the language implementation.
Firefox markets itself and openly protests for privacy rights. To go against it would completely shatter the users trust.
The post that started this chain said there were significant benefits to vaccine after infection. That post was correct. Since then, tdfx and others have been launching a barrage of red herrings to somehow undermine and misdirect away from this correct point, rather than simply acknowledging it and moving on to whatever they actually want to say.

If you don't want to be required to take the vaccine, we can have that conversation, but enough spouting nonsense to cast doubt on a correct point.
Perhaps you should reflect why you are pushing adware to YOUR users then. Maybe you should vet YOUR work more carefully instead of pulling in hundreds of dependencies that YOU haven't bothered to vet.
They say it's built on top of the Lightning Network, so yes.
But at least we'd have referential transparency.
I don’t see why not requiring Ontario-specific training is a problem or even that surprising. Most companies don’t expect prospective employees to have comprehensive knowledge of the architecture of products that company makes before starting. Some level of training is usually a given. The expectation is more that you know the general concepts - which is why a teaching certificate (from Ontario’s self-regulatory body) is required.
Indeed, California is the fifth largest economy in the world, ahead of the UK and India (based on GDP).
I wish for a world where carpenters hammer nails because they like it more so than to profit
What your chart shows is that only 9% of Americans want to increase immigration levels, which would be both the actual and perceived effect of any effort to create a real permanent immigrant system for skilled workers.
Herber Hoover is a brilliant example of this. Great engineer. Terrible president.
Vet and pin your dependencies.
If you have relatives who struggle with pill bottles, let them know that many prescription pill bottles are designed so they can be re-capped by screwing the lid into the bottle upside down.

That allows them to be re-opened much easier because there's much more gripping surface, and there's no need to squeeze to get past the child safety feature.
Something clearly went wrong with my fix when testing it — I think we got it now! Thanks again both!!
Imo it isn’t worth it. My family left India for a better life because having no running water and spotty electricity is an awful living experience. But the worst part is going outside and seeing that 80% of the people are doing worse than you and the suffering I saw was absolutely mind boggling. This was back in the 90s and 00s.

I went back recently in 2017/18 and between the 400ppm smog (when there was a wildfire near me in CA it was like 160) and people driving the wrong way across lanes in the smog fog and the traffic and poverty, I found the occasional Mercedes and other luxury car stuck sideways in traffic in the middle of the four lane highway that’s now somehow 9 to be extremely ironic.

I know I personally would find it extremely difficult to move there. I couldn’t deal with the fact that we went to a ultra luxury mall and came outside to be surrounded once again my mind boggling poverty and seeing everything from beggars to people in Benzes stuck in the same road. You go back to your nice home and still hear honking or breathe in the smog.

Moving to America was my lottery winning experience. I’m forever grateful for it.
My first thought was, "Finally I can use something like N++ on my mac".
Then I checked the project page and realized at this point cross-platform means "we ported it to Linux". Which is great (although frankly Linux users are spoiled for choice wrt editors), it's just the headline that is misleading (yet).
Isn't it just normal worldwide practice?
Imagine Emma if you are greeting her with "hello girlfriend, how are you?"
I was at a Santa Fe Institute public lecture last month by Sara I. Walker. It was about a lot of things (nominally, how might we recognize life if it is chemically quite different from anything we have on earth). However, somewhere near the middle of the talk, she put up this slide:

https://youtu.be/FnKTwPDsDiU?t=1894

later she put up this slide;

https://youtu.be/vWqVA0s5K3U?t=2649

The connection to Wolfram is made more explicit in the second one, where she lists several ideas as possible "What's Nexts" for theoretical science:

Assembly Theory / Causal Set Theory / Constructor Theory / Wolfram Physics Project / Complexity Science

I find this exciting in a way that transcends Wolfram's endless self-promotion. It's clear that there is a wave of thinking going on right now that is trying to come up with new fundamental concepts about how the universe has managed to build complex systems. It's possible that none of the ideas are right, and it's even possible that they all are. Either way, physics working harder to try to explain complexity and temporality (including evolution of chemistry and higher level systems) just seems incredibly exciting, and I hope that maybe there will be some breakthroughs before I shuffle off this mortal coil.
"Down Under" (1981) and "Kookaburra" (1932) is another good example of that. I can't say that I would ever have noticed the riff without someone pointing it out. And "Kookaburra" is a song that I first heard in grade school, so I'd argue that it has that institutional quality.

Attempt to whitewash history and carry the water of racists all you want, but the fact that Reagan used to be a Democrat is no defense or counter argument of the fact that both Reagan and Trump were/are racist, and voters clearly understood and sympathized with that fact, responded to their dog whistles and klaxon alarms of racism (like "Blacks are Welfare Queens", "Africans are Monkeys", "Mexicans are Rapists", and "Very Fine People on Both Sides"), and voted for both of them because of it, because they were racist too.

Do you say "So" because you disagree that Reagan and Trump are racist, or because you don't believe it matters if US presidents like Reagan and Trump are racist?

You're carrying Reagan's water by presuming it was more about Carter's performance than Reagan's racism, and dismissing the fact that Reagan and Trump are racist by asking "So?"

Exactly what have I said or done by citing historical facts that's worse than the actual racism of the people I deride? Is hurting the feeling of racists by reminding them of their racist history and acts even meaner than that racism itself, in your view? That's exactly why Republicans are currently having such conniptions about Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project.
> America is in decline

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing, but can you be more specific about which metrics America is objectively declining at?
Wouldn't a pre-rendered video also force a single (possibly sub-optimal) experience across various form factors?

> made the experience smoother on low-end devices, possibly at the cost of bandwidth

Especially in the context of low-end devices, I don't think the cost of bandwidth should be discounted here.
We used approach #1: https://github.com/Zaplib/zaplib/blob/7976d39775dd1642f20d8b...

I might write a blog post about this, since it's pretty fun / tricky stuff!
I wonder whether this is evidence of the overall casualness of US-ians that people keep talking about. Just assuming that they discussed who’s who in past conversations?
Weird comment. Could you define gentrification? For decades, "Gentrification" has the go-to for the people that applaud tesla leaving and Amazon being rejected by New York. Ironically, those same people are strong proponents of zoning and centralized planning of the whole state. Pretty fed up with their outsized control and demonization of anyone that tries to make things better.
Have you checked out paid plans of Protonmail? I am quite sure it will suffice your needs.

So SV pays 4-5x or 0.85-0.9x adjusting for cost of living

And EU/Uk pays 2x or 0.4-0.5x adjusting for cost of living.

Devs in India are getting paid _more_ now adjusting for cost of living..

It's just that, cost of living stops making sense after a specific amount. For a lot of things $1 = $1

You want to buy a laptop in India? still costs $2000. Vacation to Exotic Islands? Would still cost the same.
Most of the recent takedowns from Roskomnadzor seem to be aimed at illegal gambling sites using github for hosting. Almost all of the rest are for deleted gists, so there's no telling what used to be there. I found one surviving gist and it was a list of suicide methods, written in Russian[1]. The only other takedown requests that were still intact were for references to the Hydra marketplace (which I assume many of the gists also referred to), and, amusingly, for a guide on how to dodge Russian conscription[2].

[1]: The same text from what I assume is the original repo: https://github.com/russian-suicide/ololo

Sure, what else can they do? I’m just describing how the current system works, because I think a lot of people don’t realize how thin their legal rights under the H1B system really are.
Lol also interested in hearing anything of substance behind this claim.

Credit cards and e-commerce are not the same thing. (Besides that while I'm not a fan of credit cards I wouldn't say they're dead - yet)
How would you fly in such a low atmosphere?
Might I suggest you watch some videos from Ukraine dated 2022. Granted Su-25 does not carry nuclear weapons, but there are examples of rather dramatically “successful” bombing runs in the Mariupol theater of operations.
> What I don’t know is if him having original thought versus attempting to copy matters. If I publish a poem, and then you try to publish the same words even if you didn’t intend it to be a copy, then you’re still committing a copyright violation regardless of intent.

That's the case for, e.g., patents, but it is explicitly not how copyright works. Clean-room reproductions are valid defenses.
Some correlation plots with glyphosate vs disease prevalence, it's not an actual analysis. The url gives it a false sense of legitimacy.
> Practically speaking, large employers would be required to compensate employees the same amount of pay for fewer hours worked.

Not sure that's true, unless the bill also mandates that employers continue paying the same amount to salaried employees. I assume what'll happen instead is that salaries go down to compensate, and wage employees get fewer hours. Personally, I'd be okay with that, but many people wouldn't want to take that hit.

Worth noting that this article is written by Fisher Phillips, a law firm that, according to Wikipedia, represents management exclusively, so they are not an unbiased source.
Why is it suddenly a requirement the browser also handle P2P payments in the first place?
Ohm proposed it and Helmholtz elaborated it in a book he published about "sound sensations", which I suppose would be called "psychoacoustics" in modern parlance.

Finally something that looks interesting and useable coming from the “web3” crowd.

But I’m a skeptic. I’ll remain a skeptic until I see something that works as well as our existing tools. I’ll also remain a skeptic if I need to join the cryptocurrency cult for it to be usable.

Most of the things listed here are worthwhile ideas. I want safety and privacy on the web for everyone. But I don’t want to get involved with Bitcoin if that’s a prerequisite.

The world needs this in a way where they can install a browser like any other, and just start using it. No wallets, no angle. Just let it be a free tool of communication, collaboration and knowledge sharing.
> Would there be a better way to implement P2P payments without a cryptocurrency?

Yes: to not implement them at all.
I read Lem when I was young and it was a chore. I read him again when I was older and found his stuff to be pretty dated.

I couldn't even remember what Herbert wrote, even though I read Dune (not the 1000 follow ups though) recently. It made almost no impression on me. Maybe it's like War & Peace where it has been copied so much that the original doesn't seem that, well, original.

Not sure who Dick is.

The only overlap we seem to have is our dislike for Egan. I read a LOT of his short stories (recommended by fans of Lem btw), and it was just entirely boring - the only one I remember is about a health-check ring and two aliens deciding to die after being immortal for a while. Nothing new in there, no story. Basically Egan and Lem seem like the worst of Stephenson - intellectual theory with zero story. It's funny - I like relatively hard sci-fi, but I still insist on it not being a science/social theory book.

Random note - I don't think Clarke was mentioned yet. I read "Rendezvous with Rama" after all the Ouamuamua comparisons and it came off as pretty dry as well, though very well written.

To conclude, I am trying, and having a hard time reconciling why our preferences differ so much. I always think I am missing something, especially about Lem, but I can't tell what.
The best the video could do is support the defense around conscious intent. It’s not proof of that as you say because it could be a ruse (although a ruse may have discoverable evidence that makes doing it a really risky immoral gambit). It wouldn’t do anything to claims of subconscious intent (or even an honest mistake that still has liability under copyright) although the potential damages and settlement may be smaller in that case.
Is there an OSS version of such a tool?

I’d love to see Ada get “modernized” where the syntax could fundamentally change but the ideas are similar. Being able to explicitly say the range of values is pretty cool, for example.
