> The main objection that I see is against the policies which are enacted in pursuit of that goal.

That's fair, but then, baby goes out with the bathwater when people come onto public fora to discuss in less precise ways than you have stated here.

> There is a cost of the efforts to bring in those perspectives if they mean that I lose a job that I would otherwise have gained.

This is an individualized cost, which does not bear the externalities which exist on the society as a whole. On a societal scale, there is significant and obvious opportunity cost to excluding people from the workplace in systematic ways. It is, in a word, selfish.

> Moreover, an even bigger concern is that these decisions aren't being made based on perspective, but only on immutable identity

This is where the pathologies ossify, and I agree we should address this issue to make the endeavor even better. In any other setting, though, we would not collectively conclude to dissolve the initiative entirely because of this. This may be why discussions (debates) on the matter go so poorly: critics use language which suggests they want to do away with the matter entirely, while advocates are fighting back only against that proposed solution and not against what you have identified as a deeper (and definitely fixable!) problem. If conversations were to start there, and SOPs set up to encourage outcomes that do not have that quality, we could get a lot more done. I acknowledge that there are some who would exclude white voices based on whiteness alone -- every movement has that element -- so conversations may be non-starters in certain situations. But there's clearly a lot of hurt and trauma on both sides and the way we come together to discuss it looks basically exactly like how DEI advocates suggest anyway, so you're only hurting the cause if you decide to exclude yourself from these conversations when they are available to you.

One last point about the unfairness: there is a distinct tension in the collective mind between considering outcomes from individual vs societal perspectives. We love to hear about rising tides but hate to hear about one person getting unfair benefits. But that's just a matter of statistics, fortunately or otherwise! Do we want more equity, or do we want such a strict ranking of individuals that social mobility is made impossible? Individuals may have bad outcomes because random things happen, individuals may have good outcomes because random things happen, and there are always people moving up and down the ladder. Just because you can point at a single person who got advantaged one time does not mean it's not happening elsewhere, all the time, and it seems really immature to direct vitriol at individuals when we are only really concerned with aggregate quantities.

2025? Wearing them since 2018... :) I suppose the software from Jing and Jeff should work on them.
Thank you! I was worried this point was being lost.
in the past 5 or so years, off the top of my head:

- phone call between Trump and Ingwen

- confirming US military presence in Taiwan (alleged PRC red
line)

- Officially released videos showing US military training with ROC forces in Taiwan

- Higher and higher level US officials visiting Taiwan

- Vice presidents of respective countries seen talking together

The things you list that the US still is not doing, I fully expect them to start doing. It would be in the framework of the US one china policy, but it would continue the trend of salami slicing their way to dual recognition. It would probably be in PRCs interest to negotiate the status of Taiwan with Taiwan directly to save face before this happens.

Not sure why you're so pre-occupied with the lack of aircraft carrier transit. Let's say one was targeted by PRC missiles while transiting in international waters. Do you think that would be the end of it? The repercussions of that would hurt the PRC more than vice versa.
I had a job in the late 90's at a newly formed subsidiary of a multi-billion dollar corporation. The product was cobbled together from various third party software they licensed or acquired outright, and we were customizing. You would think they'd have set up version control to at least keep track of what came from where. Nope. Here I was, a 22 year old kid, teaching people about CVS. SVN wasn't quite out yet.
Blacklist has nothing to do with skin-color...you fall in the same trap as those wannabe corrector's:

>>His memory was stored with a black list of the enemies and rivals, who had traduced his merit, opposed his greatness, or insulted his misfortunes

that is why netflix was so appealing. at first
It sounds like you didn't know svn, because what you describe is the most basic feature of any version control system - being able to revert to any of the previously submitted versions is basically the reason VCSs exist. In addition pretty much every svn GUI frontend should have provide a single click way to check out a local copy of a previous version that you can commit if you want.

Svn has some warts (shelving feels sooo half baked despite having like 3 different ways for that) but at least reverting to an older state isn't one of them.
How is that strawman? Either of them. Real life behavior of Russian army (again) is not strawman. It is just what is going on.
lol this is literally bloodletting. Like what people in the olden days did. Lol, comes back full circle.
Nice but there is one feature I want more than this: automatic placement & routing.
Not my experience at all and I work across different teams who own different latency sensitive apps. Most of them have unhygienically huge working sets.
Don't focus on the 'intended material' (unless you have some responsibility for it), follow the "lines of inquiry". Trust your instinct: You will learn better the things you have a passion to learn, will enjoy, and are ready for - that are not a step too far; your instinct guides you toward where you are ready to build next.

And I think people learn better by inductive, exploratory learning than by some predefined path (and I've read things that support my theory, but I can't say I've looked for or seen any great evidence). Trusting my instinct has made all the difference for me.

I do have to prioritize, of course - there isn't time to follow every path. I'd like to learn just about anything in the universe. But at the same time, when I choose something, I follow it (almost) as if there is no time limit.
It's hard to go into detail in "all-in-one" books.
It would be impossible to put neutron star material inside a cardboard box, and the original post was talking about possibility.
Show HN: Cloaker.mobi now encrypts arbitrarily large files in desktop Chrome
All the handwringing over Netflix subscriber loss seems to be overlooking the fact that they raised their prices - significantly. Of course they could lose subscribers from doing that. But 200k subscribers out of 150 million? Combined with the end of the pandemic and sky high inflation meaning many people have less opportunity to watch and less money to spend. The fact they raised their prices something like 20% and lost less than 1% of their subscriber base in that environment could almost be seen as a positive.

The there is definitely a question whether, now that they have moved so solidly into content production, Netflix is actually a scalable / viable company any more. When they were just sending other people's content around and doing it much cheaper and better that was innovative and different. But content production is an expensive treadmill you can never get off and unless they find a way to innovate on that front, they are up against much more experienced and well established players with no differentiator at all.

But reading the sky falling into the current reported figures seems a little over the top.
Excellent taste in Linux distros, pedestal rackmount cabinets, and space heaters.

But everyone please be careful not to do much keyboarding work without your keyboard and monitor straight in front (as well as observing other usual ergonomics advice).
Traverse City is becoming very techy. Over the course of the pandemic I have witnessed a lot of folks coming in from Chicago, etc, to work remotely, or to do tech work for one of the decent web/it/finance/insurance/medical companies here.

Git makes branching and merging easier, and the whole history is available locally. You can just ignore those buggy commits and base your work on an older version; when someone eventually fixes the bug, you can merge the bug and its fix into your changes, to become up-to-date (with the possibility of conflicts, but nothing is completely free ;) ).
The Acquired podcast is really good. Both speakers have CS degrees but are VCs now. Learned a ton from the TSMC, NVIDIA, Sony, A16Z, Epic, and Sequoia episodes.
I've been using the more bare-bones KeepingYouAwake[0] just because I came across Caffeine first and this was suggested as the continuation of that simple utility. The icon makes it obvious whether it is enabled or disabled

Edit: I see now that Amphetamine has the option of a similar-looking icon to make it more obvious whether it is enabled or not

The inequity resulting from the material consequences of appearing in, being raised in, and interacting with society as white and male is a well-established statistical fact.
> TLDR is they convert photons into a multistereoscopic camera and reconstructing the brain’s behavior towards objects and motion…

I think maybe someone dazzled you with some excessive jargon. Extracting point clouds from stereoscopic cameras isn't a Tesla invention, even though they've invested a lot into trying to make theirs work. This is some computer vision 101 stuff, but nobody calls it "converting photons".

> Essentially, once they crack all the quirks, I am now a firm beleiver

Well obviously if they solve all of the problems then we'd all be believers too.
> normal to walk around with headsets everywhere

Not everywhere - more like, in relatively isolated places -, but some of us do.

Have you tried the Epson Moverio? I am tempted to test your software on them.
Well, guns aren't the biggest killer of kids in the UK.
+1 suburban / rural areas are heavily subsidized by the federal + state governments. It isn't cheap to maintain that amount of roads / utilities and I could certainly foresee a future in which it becomes much more expensive to leave so far apart.
> Has it actually served them well?

I feel like I can just gesture to the stock price and say "scoreboard," but that seems an unfair dismissal of the question.

To expound on the topic a bit: I think when they were a smaller company it served them well consistently. Photos and Drive have become an enterprise cornerstone that supports their "light cloud" business space (quite a few people pay for that extra storage). Ads doesn't get talked about much, but the internal culture is very quick-innovate. Chrome went from being a wild idea to dominating the browser-share (and therefore giving Google a foot in the door on everyone's desktop computer), and then they parlayed that into a whole operating system play. Maps basically displaced most of the other players in that space and now competes with only a couple other contenders.

I don't know if it will continue to do so now that they're an 800-lb gorilla in the room. They've certainly become more structurally conservative in the decade-plus since their founding. And I think their push into Cloud is putting pressure on them to act a lot more starched-collar; Enterprise is a different customer than they're used to (or comfortable with) dealing with.
I don't think it is.

It is more of a natural outcome of silly corporatists not really understanding why leftists and progressives object to things, and so just reflexively avoiding anything that could be, however tenuously, linked to gender. They are concern trolling themselves.
Yes. Thanks, should have made that more explicit.
Did you just say "a round" of Elden Ring?....now I have a suspicion that I'm replying to a bot haha.

What if I told you I ghost people because I don't care and it has nothing to do with maturity.

I experience 0 discomfort cutting ties and relationships with people that I've moved on from or didn't see myself interacting with in the first place. I find no grace in extending interactions to make some people feel better that feel like they're owed conversation or an explanation. What's so wrong with just moving on? If someone doesn't gel with you or reply, you should really just take the hint. Or would it be better for me to be honest and say something like, "Sorry, I just find you intolerable once I got to know you, so I think it's better if you don't talk to me anymore, thank you!"

I think it's childish to expect everyone to give you the time of day in a world where we are busier than ever before. I'd prefer to be ghosted by people who decide to ghost me.

Most people complain about "adulting" do it in jest or use it as a device to insult the job their parents did of teaching them important skills. I raised myself and I never complain about "adulting" but find it fun to groan about becoming older.
The dust gets blown off the comet by the Sun evaporating ice particles where it was trapped on the comet. I imagine much of these dust particles would have negative velocities relative to the Sun. So it would take some time for them to start "falling" towards the Sun. In the case of the Lyrids, the Thatcher comet creating this dust layer returns every 417 years so the "dust cloud" gets renewed. Also, the trajectory of the particles that stay in the region where Earth orbits is alerted by the passage of the planets and their gravity pull. As a consequence there are "outbursts" of meteor showers every 60 years - as the dust clumps up to become denser. That's a layman's 2 cents opinion :)

I must be missing something obvious - I don't understand your question.
If you support this, don't complain when you're found guilty of thoughtcrime for something that seems normal and natural to you.
What people don't realize is that part of the pricing model for various physical media is that the media wouldn't last. VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs, etc all age, get lost, break, get scratches, whatever. They're not "forever".

Now you can say "I can make a digital backup of my DVD". Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the rights to do that. But your own backup of that is unlikely to be durable.

A cloud copy of something on Google, Apple, Amazon or Netflix is essentially forever.

People don't realize what they're effectively asking for is digital rights to something in perpetuity. And you can't really price that realistically.

Streaming services actually far better match what users actually want (in general). There's no issues of storing media or keeping digital copies safe. The limited time you can view something is what makes it economical.

Remember too that most things tend to only ever be watched once. The satisfaction for collection isn't relaly about repeat viewing at for the most part.
I’ve been using 10 hour videos of black screen with success.
> One, it has not been proven or even shown somewhat that a diverse team is more successful.

This is just a wildly baseless assertion on the scale of disinformation, not even misinformation. It's not worth the time to go into the rest of this comment but the quote above summarizes it well.
you are making assumptions about the prerequisites. Talking about "income" implies that the person is viewing a show inside a form of commercial contract like going to a place where the show is displayed or buying a dvd or paying a streaming plateform etc…

Downloading a file (containing the show) from a publicly accessible server on the internet is completely outside of commercial contract so there’s no income in the first place.

Authorities can decide to make it illegal to download files from internet but it’s not "stealing"
"It is a painful thing to say to oneself: by choosing one road I am turning my back on a thousand others. Everything is interesting; everything might be useful; everything attracts and charms a noble mind; but death is before us; mind and matter make their demands; willy-nilly we must submit and rest content as to things that time and wisdom deny us, with a glance of sympathy which is another act of our homage to the truth." - Antonin Sertillanges
Unfortunately, the answer is usually just to recompile.
the worst crime, is suggesting series which I just finished watching. wtf. I know that its technically good for their bottom line if I watch same thing twice (twice the revenue for the same cost), but that ia so frustrating, when trying to find something to watch.
That is exceptionally well articulated, fully on your side.
> This is part of the Republican Party's general strategy ...

Why is it ok for the left to promote conspiracy theories about Republicans? You and the Qanon guy in the thread, there are throwing out baseless stuff that if it were from your opponents you would dismiss as conspiracy. Personally, I don't agree with (or really even understand the basis for) the "grooming" stuff I've seen on far right outlets, I think that's garbage. But I certainly don't believe there is some Republican conspiracy going on, it's just some low brow media outlets, and no doubt politicians, trying to get attention. It's not party doctrine, and its not some conspiracy
Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about. It's amazing how easy communication is when your words aren't interpreted in the most obtuse and uncharitable way by extreme progressives
> pretending it's gendered is just lying to try and be offended.

Please don't assume this. In the southern US in the late 80s and early 90s, "landlady" was a term that was very commonly used for female "landlords". I'm not sure if it's specifically regional, though.
T-Mobile stated that they don't believe that any sensitive data was stolen. The moment your source code leaks and it has secrets in it, this is a game over!

The problem is not only with the fact that secrets need to be rotated, but the operational impact it can cause if not rotated in all places. Add the time aspect to it and you have a goodie bag.
Gosh that wokeness is getting more insane the day.
So if a human were driving the car, they would have crashed into the plane? Humans don't have radar or lidar.... and probably worse vision than the cameras on a Tesla have... but probably wouldn't have hit the plane.

There may well be valid arguments for radar/lidar superiority over cameras, but the line of reasoning you're suggesting isn't in that category.
I have a 115lb shipment of small metal parts that needs to be across the country before Wed. Both FedEx and UPS quoted me ~$750 to ship it in a 12"x8"x8" OSB box via 2-day shipping. Fedex one rate boxes have a weight limit of 50lbs. The small boxes are $31/ea to ship. I just finished breaking the shipment up into 3 parts. Heck, next day would be ~$300.
I'm tempted to give it a try. I've been using ExpressPCB at work, and something called FreePCB at home. The boards that I make at home tend to be simple 2-layer analog circuits.

I tried KiCad, and it seems like just getting to the starting point of beginning to route a PCB requires an enormous amount of sheer physical labor that left me with an eyestrain headache.

I'm glad we've got engineers to do this work, but I also kind of pity them, and have gained a better understanding of why projects take so long. I get it that at the end of the day, they need to be able to push a button and have a finished PCB stuffed with parts drop out of an automated machine in China. But I don't, and I think that for folks like hobbyists and hackers, going directly from a hand drawn schematic to manual layout in a simple PCB editor may still be the winning ticket.
> TLDR is they convert photons into a multistereoscopic camera and reconstructing the brain’s behavior towards objects and motion…

I just spent the time watching the vision segment of that video, and while the presenter uses the brain as a simile to motivate neural network architecture, it actually is not modeled at all on how primate visual cortex works. Seems some tweeps also got caught up in this hype. I think those few slides were really just to show the complexity of the problem.

For parties interested in actual models of biological vision, https://serre-lab.clps.brown.edu/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/... is a good resource.
You’d need to recompile the binary to take advantage of new instructions.

The compiler alone, but also the code, can create branches where the binary checks if certain instructions are available and if they are not, use a less optimal operation.

Backwards compatibility for modern binaries basically. But not forward ability to see the future instructions that haven’t been invented yet.

Not all binaries are fully backwards compatible. If you’re missing AVX, a surprising number of games won’t run. Sometimes only because the launcher won’t run, even though the game plays without AVX.

As a regular donator, it's really important to watch your iron levels. After donating double red blood cells every time I could for two years my iron levels dropped significantly and had a very negative impact on my quality of life until I figured out what was wrong.

Now I eat more spinach and chicken to give myself a boost but I'm taking a little break to recoup before going back again.

Either way, donating's great, totally should do it, it's super essential and there're always shortages. Just make sure you're supporting yourself if you make it a habit.

Judging from that name, I thought that your link would be about something that would allow me to inflect words in various natural languages. ;)
Yeah absolutely. The first video linked above talks about what type of vegan diet counteracts the post meal blood sugar rise. I linked two videos but I saw more videos when searching for “nutrition facts diabetes” or “nutrition facts insulin”. Just something to take a look at if you are curious. But again I’m happy you’ve got something that works!
Ask HN: Seminal Papers on Distributed Databases

> I’m not a manager. But I do think it’s useful to apply a realpolitik kind of analysis here. Taking Zoom calls for a living is hell. People in power do not voluntarily consign themselves to hell.

Your comment does not have anything to do with realpolitik. You're just expressing your personal preference, and spinning it as if it was norm. Except that it's not. Far from it.

Is your personal preference an adequate tradeoff for forcing all the inconveniences and downright degradation to the quality of life of everyone around you?

I mean, why would I waste 1 or 2 hours of my life each day and be kept far away from my loved ones, and in the process be forced to endure a more expensive cost of living, just because some dude at the office doesn't feel like having an occasional 10min Zoom call?
