I'm in Vancouver, BC and paying 80$/mo for 1Gbps symmetric. I could get 2.5Gbps but it would be about twice the cost - and I would have to get something that can do 2.5G link speed on an SFP+, not many devices can.
Massive crop failures across poorer equatorial regions have become increasingly regular.

Longer, harder, droughts, and then extreme water events that can’t retain much of the water causes other problems beyond just floods.

Economists have historically proven to be extremely inaccurate at predicting long term patterns. They also have a strong bias in favour of business, so always find “supporting evidence” for almost any choice creating immediate gains for business.

An easy measure is: has any major economic “study” ever supported raising taxes for businesses or the rich? Have they supported investing in employee welfare? Universal healthcare? Etc

In countries that have done this, and thus actually measured the outcomes, they have found things have improved for the majority of people.

In countries that have followed the “reduce taxes and services” to improve society we have for decades seen the exact opposite, and yet economists still claim that life will improve for people. Again, this is despite decades of direct contrary evidence.

Economics is a fiction, the only actual supported piece of economic theory is supply vs demand. That’s it.
Some people are sad that they can't set up businesses which exploit the populace as easily in the US I guess?
Oh, and one other thing, at a meta level: The entire construction of the author's argument is to pick a statistical measure with a wide standard deviation, instead of a better one that would use more data to get a low standard deviation. Then he finds that one real-life outcome is within that wide standard deviation.

Not only that, he defines it via the exponentially increasing ELO rating distribution, instead of rank order, and that would have the effect of piling up a bunch of lower ranked players together within one standard deviation of the mean. This means it would be virtually impossible to get a result 1 standard deviation out, let alone 2.
Our telco salespeople must be really happy for selling two phones to each of us here.

How does it work in NDA'd work environments? Like when company's information can't leave company's devices? Is BYOD accepted in those cases? Like with MDM managed phone or workspace separation?
How did you go from "Feynman Lectures Book III" to "Youtube"? billfruit was asking about a book.
The thing about DID and IFS is the underlying recognition that most people have parts, sometimes dissociated (as is the case with BPD, for example, and other dissociative disorders), and that this is part of normal human psychology. The crux of it is that this is simply one of the fundamental tools our brains has to use in response to trauma. The whole disorder part of dissociative identity disorder is when it becomes a problem that impedes healthy functioning. Just like we all have anxiety, it's there to protect us and warn us of potential dangers, but an anxiety disorder is when the anxiety is no longer helpful, damaging, even.
Ding ding!
You're saying governments shouldn't have the ability to govern its people, or inquire as to how global scale companies impact their citizens? That doesn't make any sense whatsoever.
On my dev box, it's chromium, golang, ripgrep, restic, lxd, flutter.

I don't really notice the startups for the rest (although I get irritated when lxd auto updates and restarts my containers), but chromium does palpably take several seconds to load vs firefox .deb
You could design a contract that could be bug-fixed and upgraded provided some % of stakeholders consent to the upgrade. These platforms are still in their infancy so upgradability or even just thorough testing and auditing is rare.
Aphantastic here. I get cool star patterns after drinking booze and laying down with my eyes closed. Like fast changing animation of different aspects of the shape changing-size, color, number of points, length of points, sometimes other types of shapes. Lasts only 20 seconds or so when I first lie down after 4+ drinks sometimes.

Had some interesting visual imagination one time while meditating on LSD. Wasn't much in control of what I saw, but it was interesting to imagine colorful stuff for the first time ever.

Normal LSD trip isn't very imaginative (I don't do psychedelics for years mind you.) mostly visual with my eyes. Same with shrooms.

Marijuana for me never really created visual imagination (used to smoke a lot years ago).
Our dishwasher shines a red light on the floor when it’s running. I like the unobtrusive way this communicates state. It’s a quiet dishwasher, and you can’t really tell if it’s running purely by sound.

Our new washing machine uses Wi-Fi to send a notification when the wash is done. Also to remind me that the factory warranty has expired, and that I can purchase an extended warranty. Greaaaaat
Apple doing proprietary chips for their own computers only is of drastically less utility than AMD selling them to whoever and partnering with OEMs like Steam, Microsoft for bespoke designs. So Apple aren't really a rival to Intel in any real sense.
Given that the main contention with Snap is the first-launch performance, a viable alternative is Flatpak. I run nearly everything from it.

The bizarre thing about the Snap performance issue is that it isn't present on other distros. I have heard that Snap is really, uh, snappy on Arch (although I am seriously not bothered to try it myself).

You correctly understand the difficulty. AFAICT formal methods only really work in relatively small, self-contained scenarios. You wouldn't want to attempt a formal proof of a Python web app. The seL4 microkernel is one of the biggest verified projects I know of. Maybe reading about that would give you an idea of how things get put together in the field.
doesn't necessarily have to have batteries, as in many common installations, daytime PV is used to flatten the curve of fuel consumed by regional coal, gas, other fossil fuel power plants servicing the daytime peak of load demand. Conveniently enough in many places with hot weather when the peak of load demand is occurring mid afternoon with everybody's air conditioner running, the PV system is also performing at its best.

Or can be connected to something long distance similar in tech to the pacific HVDC inter-tie to move power long distances to where it's needed, or can be used to pump water uphill in a nearby pumped-storage hydroelectric system.

Could you explain your comment? I don’t really follow android development. Was Fuschia the new OS Google was writing from scratch? Why do you think that will make a big difference?
I’d expect it would be sufficient to just recompile the app with the latest dev tools and push it as a “performance and bug fix” update. It does make sense that apple wants to prune old things from the App Store but it’s also unfortunate the author can’t provide a direct download from their website as an alternative.
Fedora, a volunteer project, currently has packages for four different current and future releases.
That's a pretty gross criteria for a relationship.
yeah but classes like geometry? i remember our section on conical slices. like, cool, you can make an ellipse by intersecting a plane with a cone, but (for someone with limited mental imagery: ) isn't that just a really tortured way to go about the task?
Wow ! Not even a hundred years has passed and we already have those far fetched self-serving delusions posing as historical analysis ? How about... cynically bleed out communists willingness to fight in one place, to deter any other place in south east asia to even think about charting an independant course ? It's as good as any other explanation IMHO.
This is a silly hypothetical for a number of reasons.

1. There are a million reasons it could be rejected. For one thing, we have decades if not centuries of terrible science here, motivated by even worse agendas. A journal is going to be extremely skeptical of any study in this area for that same reason, and they would be for anything much less controversial that had centuries of garbage behind it.

2. Science is not morally exempt. A journal may ask themselves if the scientific implications of this paper are worth the practical implications of supporting the work at that stage - that's going to depend a LOT on the paper itself, and since this is a hypothetical, we have no way of discussing this point.

> Do you believe, even if the study is published, that it would not destroy someone's career?

I don't know, maybe? Again, it's a hypothetical. What is this paper showing? Who is it by? There's so much context missing here. I'd certainly think whoever did this research, with no other context, is probably an idiot, but I could be convinced otherwise.

> And finally, if researchers believe there is a chance of that happening, would they actually start to investigate the taboo area?

Maybe? Like, yeah, good point, I would definitely question the motives of anyone doing this research. But this is a hypothetical so it's impossible to say.

> My answer to all these questions is "no".

Given this extremely broad hypothetical it seems pretty absurd to answer any way definitively.

Regardless, this in no way supports the idea that the research rejected by journals is somehow fit for Twitter ads. It is, at best, a criticism of journals, without any comment on what the right solution would be.

The idea that advertising on Twitter is somehow the bandaid we need for purported issues with scientific peer review is absolutely fucking laughable and I think people on HN should seriously question the competency of the average user here.
Nix as in the Linux distro or package manager?
I dated someone who had it- was beaten heavily during their childhood formative years, and told me that the separation of identities was a means of coping.

It seemed like an extreme emotional compartmentalization which left them with a fractured sense of self.

Some people might say that they could have just been pulling an elaborate hoax on me from a year and a half. But the amount of acting it would have required just to convince me of this without any real reward would have been a sign of even greater emotional problems than even the different personalities.
Calling something "art" doesn't magically make it immune to decay.

Paintings have to be restored, books have to be reprinted.

If your art is so cherished to you and other people then surely that should give you even more motivation to spend time ensuring that it is preserved into the future, no?
When the balance of every address can only be calculated by executing the total transaction graph, as in Bitcoin, then you need to store the history.

If you have a solution for this that does not require trusting anyone, I'm sure that people would love to hear it.
You sort of can but it’s silly and inconvenient. You are allowed to sideload any app you signed with your own apple account for 7 days. So someone made a tool you install on your own server that will resign the sideloaded apps you want and automatically keep them available on your device.
Like I mentioned in my top-most comment, "developing nation" is what people typically refer to. As to your comment, I was pointing out that "global south" is not a euphemism for "developing nation". I'd say it is the other way around and in a misguided way. This is because the global south/north designation intentionally distances itself from terminology such as "developing nation".

I understand if this comes across as pedantry but the global north and south terminology does a better job at leveling the playing field when talking about wealth and progress disparities.

As per your other question, Australia is part of the global north, China is part of the global south in the global north and south groupings.
I'm sorry but it is very hard to understand what you said when the arguments against my various points are, in order:

> we should give up old paradigms that don't work

Why and how don't they work?

> Eco should come up with good, convincing arguments

Why are they not good? Why not explain how they don't convince you?

> The problem is that the way he does it is rather unconvincing

Again, how is it not convincing you? Elaborate...

> Can it even help us determine which of those things are fascist and which are not?

He does provide a very simple way to do exactly that. Why not argue against such a method, instead of implying it be a stupid method through countless examples, but never explaining how it would not work in such scenarios? This seems like such a destructive way to approach conversation. I can agree rhetorically on some points, but you are just pushing for the impossibility of effectively describing anything intangible.

I apologize if I am misinterpreting your arguments, but as I think I've shown there's very little of it around for me to meaningfully engage with it..
Not much for exactly this reason.

Some fiction is more poetic and dialogue-y or emotional so it's fine. I loved Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance.

I never understood the descriptions of environment or anything. I'm just reading the words aloud to myself in my head and not seeing it so it's kinda a waste.
As a EU citizen, I fully expect my country and the EU to "put constraints" (i.e. regulate) on companies, so everything seems to work as expected.
"Show HN" is somewhat asking for feedback, is it not? Or am I mistaken in the format?

Yes, I can probably self-host something like this, change the color schema in a myriad of ways. But I thought the point of Show HN was to showcase and somewhat solicit feedback from the HN community.
Two generations from now when new generations fight for scraps of deflationary money, those who amassed wealth early in the crypto cycle will definitely finance wars.

To be fair, the west does that as well: The russian army is at the same time so disorganized it can be defeated by a few Ukrainian farmers with tractors and so strong that Ukraine needs heavy weapon support to even have a resemblance of a chance.
Dude has exactly zero expertise in the field or experience with this population, and yet he makes these kinds of claims. And all based on an article or two he found.

Pathetic. Almost every psychiatric diagnosis is problematic, and articles questioning any's validity can be dug up. Doesn't mean the emotional/cognitive/behavioral cluster does not exist.

The link between trauma and disassociation is incontrovertible, and DID is merely an extreme version of this. Case reports of it across Western, Middle Eastern and Asian societies across the last 2 centuries show a remarkable degree of consistency in their reports of this, so the idea that this is some kind of passing fake fad is absurd.

The only thing the article adds is a critique of a Tik-tok sub-culture. Color me shocked that this is not a particularly enlightened group - but I guess this is the kind of hard-hitting "journalism" popular Substacks were made for.
Despite Thunderbolt, iPad to Mac communication is still a mess
Google is a private entity. In the opinion of the economic right, wouldn't companies be free to make their own rules about their own conduct?

Big tech is not how you're painting it. I think it sits solidly where it can keep its income growing. They'd like to operate in China, so they apply filters to search results, or use their servers instead of the default. Pride month sees avatars changing to a colorful, but only in the more permissive locations. Business is, in part, about getting along, and inclusivity is currently how you get along in the West - nothing more, nothing less.
Formal methods in a nutshell are using code to statically analyze and prove things about code. The reason this has value despite sounding circular is that often times the code we use to write the statements we wish to prove is easier to understand than the code we are proving.

It is fundamentally the reason why tests are useful, despite also being code. Even though tests themselves may contain bugs, they are still useful because they are simpler and easier to understand than the code being tested.

> how are formal methods better than unit tests?

Strictly speaking, unit tests are a kind of formal method. They are after all code being used to test code. Other formal methods tend to try to concern themselves with universal statements rather than one-off examples as unit tests do. E.g. proving that a program will never crash no matter what input is given to it (whereas a unit test would prove that a program will not crash for a single given input).
Sure they can. There’s no shortage of people out there carrying around negative perceptions of themselves that are wholly incorrect. The self is a construct and your brain will assemble it out of its experiences.
Wow, this kind of article shouldn't be a thing in 2022. It reminds me of the old days of Linux when you had to hack xorg.conf to get your second monitor to work -- but now it's a hack to get your web browser to work!
When you’re an employee, it feels like your manager’s job is to keep you happy and give you what you want.

When you first get into management, you immediately realize that your job is to serve an entire team in ways that will some times not make individuals happy. You have to focus on doing what’s best for the team, not just giving the loudest team member what they demand.

> Hard disagree. People look for more responsibility / jobs all the time and when they come to you saying they want to stay and this is their condition, you better honor it and not call it "politics".

If the person is deserving of the promotion then withholding it just because is silly. But in the real world that doesn’t really happen. What manager would actively withhold something that would motivate their team? Remember, managers don’t get compensated and promoted for keeping their team members miserable and depriving them of what they want. We get compensated and promoted based on getting the job done.

The problem in these scenarios is that you can’t start trading promotions as leverage. You need to give out promotions as earned according to the criteria spelled out to the team.

If you start giving out promotions to people who seek competing job offers, you’re telling the team that the promotion path is not based on merit or performance, but rather on your ability to hold your manager over a barrel with threats of quitting.

Reward this once and you’ll start seeing much of the team threaten to quit whenever they want something. Motivation will fall as employees realize that their best option to get ahead of their peers is not to work hard, but to threaten to quit. Resentment will grow as team members learn that their peer was promoted for getting competing job offers, not for doing good work. That’s the definition of politics.

Of course, you need to have a valid promotion structure and criteria in place and you need to honor it. But no, you should not get into the habit of giving employees whatever they want in response to threats to leave.

I don't know if I totally agree but I definitely felt, somewhere around the halfway point, something along the lines of "whoa it felt like we were making some good points here but not it feels like we've gone into angry rant mode".
Thank you, that helped me!
When you derive all of your self-worth from a disadvantaged identity, attacking that identity is akin to attempting murder.

This is different from people with actual disadvantages who have spend enormous effort to hide and to hopefully overcome them, not to broadcast them. Broadcasting weakness is not something that animals do except to avoid imminent and overwhelming attack.

My upset is when people who actually disadvantaged get caught up in this rhetoric and ideology. When the heat gets too hot for the fakers, they'll move on to the next thing, leaving the people with real problems behind.
The tyranny of majority is a real threat. Power should be "shared" (or under contention). Companies just want to take your cash, governments can take your freedom.
> Snap should be an extreme measure when there are no other means to use some obscure package that can't be run using the stock kernel or libraries.

It's a container not a vm so I don't think it would help if a package can't be run using the stock kernel.
I don't think that was his point. Companies take features from competitors all the time.

But even with that "feature sharing", Android's flagship phone still feels like more of a knockoff compared to any iPhone.

Having owned every Pixel and the Nexus predecessors, they have about a 3 year lifespan, software is slow and freezes start after a few updates, the battery isn't great to start but shits out after year 2, then oled burn-ins.

But I got $5 for my Nexus 6P bootloop class action settlement, so there's that I guess...
I was using a 2011 12" MacBook Air until recently, for work, music making and personal usage. Only traded for an M1 because thought it was cool. If anything it's 3rd party dev stuff that requires bleeding edge machines (eg: Docker).

The operating theory was that these ships would basically fire off their load, take out a carrier, and then do whatever.

Survivability isn’t really part of the equation. On the smaller Soviet scale, the Namchucka missile corvettes are an even more in your face example. (You can tour one in Fall River, Mass at battleship cove) These things would operate inshore, and once they fire their missiles, they are detected and get blown up.
1) Ad hominem; even if it were an accurate claim, it would also be an irrelevant one.

2) You're broadly dismissing factual statements as "claims" with no supporting evidence. Given the statements on RW are backed extensively by citations, please support "a lot of claims about him are a stretch" with citations of your own.

3) I take it your "hypothetical" example about race and intelligence isn't actually hypothetical but something you actually believe?

I’m slightly suspicious about the “mandatory” hybrid model. I’ve been working remotely pre-Covid and I really like it. With that said, I recently visited the office and met some people that I’ve had diverging opinions… and I was completely sock to find out how much was lost during the conversation and how a short chat face to face clarified so much!
I don’t think is enough to justify working from the office but I’m now planning to make it to the office something like every other month.

At the same time, even though I’m fully remote I’ll work from a coffee shop from time to time. Offices could become such company-provided hub/spaces for when a change of air, reliable internet, or access to physical resources (hardware) is needed.
