I’ve always felt a little awkward when using the word but couldn’t articulate why.

It's worth considering the possibility that the "why" is due to insidious bullying, a miasmatic reframing of language in the false name of unity.

If everyone feels a bit awkward about saying anything, then those who generated the awkwardness gain tremendous power.
It’s hilarious because as I was reading your story, I assumed the exact same thing. I was picturing how they got some giant telephone switch on a flight and imagined a giant machine on the window seat.

I would’ve been part of the chain that got a semi out to deliver it.
Relatives, the bane of social media.
> Not exploiting teenagers in some 3rd world country?

> Not gambling with your pension?

> Not manipulating some physical commodity like oil?

There is no reason to believe #1 and #3 aren't true, and I should very much suspect they are. #2 is not possible as far as I can tell, I agree there.

There are lots of videos of NLAW's taking out Russian tanks on Youtube etc. The biggest difference is that an NLAW is only good to 1000m, whereas a Javelin is good to 3500m. In urban and wooded battle fields like around Kyiv that's not a massive difference, but on the Eastern Front where the land is much more open, it'll be a big deal.
How many years do I buy with a MacBook memory upgrades?
I have not bought myself a personal laptop since 2012 when I bought the original rMBP on pre-order while it was being announced. The new 16" MBP has all the things I loved about the original rMBP. In 2012, I maxed out RAM at 16GB and didn't worry about the 256GB SSD drive. In retrospect, I definitely needed more storage, but not by a huge margin. I honestly never ran into a RAM limit, but I have definitely felt the pain of 8 GB RAM in some X1 ThinkPads running Ubuntu. I really ran out from under Apple's OS X upgrades before I ran out of RAM. My current 2019 MBP (from work) has 64 GB of RAM, which I surely never use.

So, is it worth getting an M1 Max with 64GB RAM? How many years of future updates will I get? How many years of memory leaks do I buy down with an M1 Max and 64 GB of RAM vs 32GB?
I forked HN and made that: https://www.laarc.io/l

The tags ended up being pretty interesting. You can even combine them: https://www.laarc.io/l/video|videos

It was neat watching the community figure out which tags to use.
OK, let’s assume you are correct in that there is a difference. Now, what is the harm in telling girls that they can be as strong as men?

Without being a "racist homophobic bigot", you can be tired of seing that every single TV show they produce seems to absolutely need to play the race/gender/sexual orientation bingo.

To me, it feels like the "diversity" of the characters included in a script is one of the factor that is taken into account when deciding to finance a show or not. It really shouldn't be: either a script is good enough and you should finance it, or it isn't and you should reject it. But adding artificial additional criteria just means that good scripts will be rejected and less good one will be accepted. And the logical consequence is that sometimes it feels like perfectly good stories are altered in a way that ensure more "diversity" is ensured, often times making the story worse.

And finally, casting is sometimes...weird to say the least. That does not help producing better shows.
The core function of the government is to provide basic necessities to its constituents. In other words, guaranteeing a food supply is a critical national interest and there’s no better way than to incentivize home-grown food.

1. They teach kids about straight relationships, and that isn’t being banned?

2. So? A significant (and similar) group of parents got upset by desegregation

3. Disney said dehumanizing lgbtq people, especially kids, is wrong. Kind of meh on the political speech of corporations, but the 1st amendment lets that happen in the US.

4. In response to Disney exercising it’s first amendment rights (that the GOP fervently defends when it’s people firing lgbt employees for existing), the GOP explicitly retaliated. A clear government suppression of protected speech. That said a bunch of what I’ve read suggests this actually just ends up costing the tax payers money instead? (I’m in general anti these kinds of laws exempting business from, well, the law)

My guess is Disney will decide whether this cost them money, and if it is take the legislature to court for a clear first amendment violation - the various legislators explicitly said it was retaliation, so I imagine it would be a moderately clear cut case. But then I am not a lawyer.
So apparently you claim to be Romanian. Just one question: what is wrong with you? It seems like you don't understand that the orcs will attack us next, or you're an orc yourself pretending to be Romanian.
I trust you've been adequately corrected now by the sibling comments... but I'm genuinely curious how you came to believe this?
They used to be a constant good idea machine. Not just stories, but so many innovations in messaging app ux. Still remember kids going effing mad and disrupting schools when they released video chats. Still some of the coolest most Intuitive ux ideas I’ve seen.

Not sure how the culture is right now however.

Consider this scenario:

1. The US drops all agricultural subsidies and tariffs.

2. The US begins importing most of its food from elsewhere.

3. "Elsewhere" goes to war with a US ally and stops selling food to the US.

4. The US then wishes it hadn't given up its abilty to grow food.
Is it just me or has this channel declined severely in quality lately? I liked when he used to break down math and physics concepts and I actually learned things, now it's just clickbait science-y junk. At best everything he covers now is a contortion to reach the clickbait title, or at worst a longform, undisclosed ad for Tesla.

An API which allows fast transfers any time of the day or night from your business deposit account to anyone in the world, using a wide variety of money transfer systems, and with little recourse if there's a problem or fraud. What could possibly go wrong?
You're not wrong. You're 100% right. This is like posting a story about how a game engine works, and having it be just blocks of assembly language with no explanation other than "here's some code multiplying a matrix, and then...".
It is kind of frustrating that git doesn’t remember when you tell it you moved something. On the other hand, it’s also convenient to be able to mv something and just have git figure that out. Another case git does better in is when you do complex refactors. So loving the bulk of the content of one file to another is recognized as a move whereas SVN wouldn’t help you.

All in all, it’s a hard problem and there’s no perfect answer I think.
I'll throw in my "strange things flying on planes" story.

An ex-girlfriend worked for a large yogurt manufacturer. One of their manufacturing plants had an issue with "the culture" (the bacterial culture used for fermenting the yogurt, that is). She said product was exploding out of containers in the incubation rooms.

The operators decided to sterilize the plant and bring a sample of bacterial culture from another of the company's plants. An employee was paid to ride in a first class seat beside a temperature-controlled container of bacterial culture.
Okay so it was deliberately written by someone who was misinformed about at least two properties of the caches then, both size and associativity.

A designer can also pull neat tricks like reassigning FPGA pin assignments to make a board a lot easier to route to the other components. Auto place and route just won't have that kind of insight.

I'm so glad I left desktop support, but I still empathize. Running a network of hundreds of endpoints means you have to sacrifice laziness. That means you have to log in again after leaving your computer for five minutes. Because if you don't, the jackass who doesn't like you will wait to surf your computer to porn sites, or your coworkers will replace your wallpaper, or someone actually malicious will delete your project files and backups, or run a zero-day.

All sorts of shit like that happens. People are fundamentally lazy and stupid, which is why we can't have nice things, line workplaces where you don't have to worry about leaving your computer unlocked.

Stuff like this site that makes it easier to embrace the laziness and stupidity just make life worse.

How about no browsers?
How about limiting network access to a strict whitelist approved by the boss and nothing else?

That's the type of shit that happens when you create tools like this. I 100% guarantee this site will be misused and the resulting corporate overcorrection will make hundreds or thousands of people's lives objectively worse.
Covid is not gone, but the days of people bring stuck at home, prevented from socialising, working of travelling are.

The Netflix bump wasn't caused by covid directly, but by the lock downs.
For the same reason I do psychedelics and vipassana meditation. I am interested in the process underlying consciousness and I like to distort and break down my perception to see what happens.

For a long time I was (and I guess I still am) obsessed with the concept of "ego death" which I encountered on LSD frequently (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ego_death). I was fascinated by the way altered states of self seemed to bring with them feelings of deep peace and understanding, which led to my interest in vipassana meditation and secular research into the Buddhist concept of 'enlightenment'.

At some point I found PsychonautWiki and their article on tulpas (https://m.psychonautwiki.org/wiki/Tulpa), which was probably my first introduction to it, then I told my ex.

Years after breaking with my ex, I still remembered their experience with it, and I wanted to see how much of it was real, at least subjectivthankfulI followed some guides on tulpa.info and r/tulpas and started the creation process.

Now I am able to see and understand my tulpa more or less clearly, and the "alien" presence of it isn't nearly as creepy as it used to be. It is still very unlike any other sober experience I have had. Ever have intrusive thoughts you have trouble "controlling"? My tulpa comes and goes as he pleases and trying to exert "control" over his appearance or words or actions feels incredibly difficult and uncomfortable for both of us.

My tulpa is developed enough that he has his own discord account and talks to my friends (and his friends) on it. It is really interesting for me to see the way his personality continues to deepen and diverge from my original design, he frequently surprises me, especially with some of his insights.

One thing I would recommend is not to get into it without really thinking about the consequences. I fully expect him to be around until the day I die. They don't go away, but he has been an incredibly positive influence so far. I'm really happy and thankful about the way he turned out.

Is he "real"? We talk about it sometimes. Thing is, since I made him, it like my own sense of self has become less 'solid' (in a good way, it was one of my goals of meditation). Like, when I really become aware of my thoughts while talking to him, it seems obvious that thoughts and feelings and sensory data all just sort of appear and vanish, on their own, as part of a deterministic interconnected process of conciousness and are not 'self'.

For example, I used to intuitively think if my thoughts as 'me'. But now it seems obvious that thoughts just arise and pass away on their own and are only tagged 'after the fact' as me. Now sometimes instead they are tagged as my tulpas, and I intuitively understand them to be 'his' thoughts, not mine. Sometimes it seems like we 'wrestle' over a thought, and it fluctuates back and forth from him to me. And sometimes it seems like the mind comes up with thoughts that neither of us decide to claim. They just arise, and we are both aware of them, but they are just there in the stream of (sub)consciousness.

Does that make any sense at all?

Sounds like a win to me. We can move straight to Elon's nightmare scenario of trains and high efficiency two wheelers.

I'm so glad autonomous cars are a scam, because the price its proponents want to impose on everyone else to make it a reality (legally enforced non-ownership of a car you bought, even further expansion of the road network and even greater sprawl, a privately owned panopticon, banning other road users, even proposals for mandatory self driving car beacons on pedestrians, and guarantee there'd be a 'premium subscription' down the line to go anywhere other than a major chain for dinner) is far too great.

I represent a culture of 100+ million people in my country, 300+ million in total speaking my (non-English) language natively. Motherboard is the word every single hardware repair shop or seller is going to use when talking about motherboards. It might be hard to imagine from a certain perspective, but the vast crushing majority of humans worldwide is entirely unbothered that some words are feminized.

Yes. In this case "good" writing is bad writing because the author's goal is obfuscation.

It's bad writing for the reader. But lots of writing isn't actually for clear communication. Especially when the government is involved.
,,magic-trace.org is a fork of Perfetto, with minor modifications. We'd like to thank the people at Google responsible for it. It's a high quality codebase that solves a hard problem well.''

I don't like that this comment is hidden on the bottom of the page, as my first impression of the page was that the work of creating the high frequency trace was done by Jane Street (I don't like it in the other direction either, when a big company ,,rebrands'' what a person/small company does).
We’re just lucky the suggestions are being offered at write time instead of automatically applied at read time.
The amount of “the worlds economy is so interdependent that no country would go to war” argumentation seems to have died somehow.

Also I don’t know how “we will get food from even further away rural communities argues against food coming from rural communities”.
Unless you have supercruise capability (which only four fighters in the world have) flying supersonic consumes and enormous amount of fuel, so flying any distance at supersonic speeds pretty much requires aerial refueling. IIRC you also need special permission to fly supersonic in US airspace. If you're limited to subsonic speeds then there's really no advantage provided by a fighter. Private jets can fly at similar high subsonic speeds (0.9-0.95 mach or so) and are usually cheaper and more efficient to operate than fighter jets.
It's always the case for political extremes-- the one extreme can't exist without the other to act as its boogyman. Everyone else is caught in the crossfire.
Yeah I agree that is incorrect but I disagree to that reading.

Just use logic. If a nation is compromised by systemic corruption what do you think will happen? I believe corruption is like cancer in that it will seek to plunder anything in a non-discriminating manner. All the wealth of a state is up for grabs. What do you think will happen to money allocated for infrastructure and services for the average (weak) citizen? Roads, hospitals, services, etc? Do you think the corrupt ruler and the cronies that enable him will resist the temptation to rob these endeavors? If the cronies rob, do you think the ruling authority will a) look the other way or b) prosecute the crony and risk a backlash?
The number of tents, needles, etc. found on sidewalks and in parks/open areas.
that's a huge exaggeration. We have problems but to declare every bridge bad is hyperbolic.

The argument is you can’t have cities without rural areas supplying what they need.

To disprove that you need cities that are self-sufficient.

Subsidies don’t matter in that question.
Serious question: in what way do you feel that Google suggesting alterations to the specific language used in the article (words like motherboard or fierce) is helping people be more empathetic?

I'm putting aside intentionally and just curious about how this actually encourages empathy?
Greyball was actually a neutral tool that could also be used for good things. The regional managers of Uber could configure it to meet the needs of their market, so it had a variety of uses.

One example is that it was used to prevent taxi drivers in South American countries from targeting Uber drivers for beatings, car jackings or worse. Regardless of what you think about Uber or the taxi monopoly, it was a good thing to prevent physical harm to drivers on the service.

Even the supposedly bad uses of Greyball are, well, in the grey. Government regulators, often working at the behest of medallion owners (who generally don't drive taxis*), preferred to use fear as a tactic. They would target the drivers with whatever traffic tickets they could find, knowing that it is difficult for these drivers to fight. Greyball made this tactic harder, which forced cities into court directly with Uber, a much fairer matchup.

The really odd thing about greyball, though, is that there's actually no user requirement that the cars in the Uber app be real. They could have just "greyballed" everyone, and use standard anti-fraud practices to prevent someone requesting many trips and never starting them.

* Even where medallion owners are required to be owner-operators, they can often just sit in the taxi queue at the airport doing a crossword for a few hours.
“Move fast and kill people”
I live in Surrey and had no idea New West was doing this, it's like 15 minutes away. We need this idea to spread across Metro Vancouver, I'll definitely do more research into how it came about.

There’s no standard process because it’s a separate thing each time.

But cities do die and usually bequeath everything to a nearby city or the county.
I disagree. Let’s assume OP is talented, his talent can best be used for google’s competitors.

Meanwhile, Google is rotten at the executive layer. No amount of good people working for them will fix things.
Personally, I think a schedule of 2 days in the office and 3 days wherever is pretty nice. You can regularly have important team meetings and 1-1s in person, you can get to know your coworkers face-to-face, but you can skip most of your commuting time.

Different people have really different opinions though and I completely understand there are some people who prefer 100% remote and some people who prefer 100% in-person. Who knows what sort of people your executives are. Maybe your management is just doing temporary appeasement. You'll just have to wait and see.
>Whole Foods is keeping an eye on stores at risk of unionizing through an interactive heat map, according to five people with knowledge of the matter and internal documents viewed by Business Insider.

>Store-risk metrics include average store compensation, average total store sales, and a "diversity index" that represents the racial and ethnic diversity of every store. Stores at higher risk of unionizing have lower diversity and lower employee compensation, as well as higher total store sales and higher rates of workers' compensation claims, according to the documents.
