They built a weird business that made them rich.

If it wasn't built on crypto hype, it wouldn't have been popular.
They're paying for travel to medical treatment, given warehouses are frequently a long way from hospitals that seems like a reasonable benefit?

I agree! It's a huge problem and it's right for people to point it out.
I think you might be confusing herbicides and pesticides.

Some GMO crops can lead to less pesticide usage as the plants can sometimes be engineered to be resistant to the pests targeted.

Weed plants don't generally attack the crop plant directly, instead they merely grow nearby and compete for various resources that the crops would otherwise be able to use.

GMO crops can be engineered to be resistant to specific herbicides. This leads to more of that herbicide (generally glyphosate) being used, since more herbicide = fewer weeds, and amounts of glyphosate that would kill non-GMO crops are tolerated by GMO crops.
Straws are essential for drinks served with ice, in particular cocktails.
I don't believe that owning the copyright to software can ever be infringing, at least in the US (disclaimer: not a lawyer, feel free to correct). It is generally the act of distributing said software that falls into some sort of legal violation.
Your argument resembles that of frauds and quacks everywhere.

I hope I know less about cancer research than you do -- because I know very little, and you want us to believe that you know more than that.

However your presentation style will convince no one.

Pilot and Rocketeer were just shut down, however, I'm surprised this had any impact because the above post says:

> If you are delivering SCTs embedded in the certificate, this should require no action on your part. All previously-issued certificates containing SCTs from these logs that complied with the Chrome CT Policy will continue to do so.

Edit: Ah but if /all/ the logs are retired, it's no longer valid. So if you have two retired google logs + a digicert log that's presumably also retired, the SCTs are no longer acceptable.
It works for employees, but only when you care about latency and the employees are interchangeable. A classic queueing example is tellers at a bank. One teller and the line is awful because of one complex transaction. Two and you are in and out in a minute.

Not sure about that - yeah, git is a powerful tool, but I can't help thinking that lots of things could have been done in a more straightforward and less confusing way. Such as the "double responsibility" of "git checkout" which has recently been split into "git switch" (for switching branches) and "git restore" (for reverting files).
> Because deleting it would remove the one bit of evidence that this happened and may well wipe out the data that would allow establishing how this was done.

This has big "When the authorities get here I'll be vindicated!" energy, by which I mean: there's no forensics team heading out to the data warehouse to get to the bottom of what happened. Your tweet isn't that important and it makes sense that Twitter wants you to delete the tweet as a show of good faith.

That quote makes it sound like peanuts, but it's per player:

> Infant daycare ratios are 1 caregiver to 4 infants (0-2). At toddler ages (2-3 months), it grows to 1:6; it's 1:12 for preschool (3-5.

This is the full stop. When you are putting an infant in a daycare, you are paying for 1/4 of a person + facilities and overhead. No amount of technological advancement will change this.

> But our childcare system has almost no subsidy in the US. The US government spends $500 / toddler in the US (.2% of GDP), compared to .7% of GDP of the average OECD country.

This is wrong on two levels. First, most subsidies come from the state level, and some states are very generous. Secondly, the childcare tax credit is now refundable: https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc602 . This amounts to a huge subsidy for childcare.

I dont know of any medical treatment that kills a patient that's deemed acceptable except for abortion.
That's trivial to fix by giving poor folks $5K each and then it's their choice if they want to spend it on gas. Aka a subsidy for not buying gas.

You can (and should) debate what the exact numbers should be, but we already do this today with tax credits and welfare for the poor. It's a a solved problem.
When you begin programming, all of your problems will be of the form "how do I get my program to do X?" and all of your answers will come from stack overflow or similar. You will build things by example, and that's fine: in fact it's great for your motivation because you'll be able to achieve some impressive things, so definitely don't try to skip this step!

But at some point you won't be satisfied with just doing things that other people have already done before, or you'll want more control, or be unhappy with some aspect of the approach people before you have taken. Or maybe you'll just be curious: "I know this code let's me draw a circle... but how exactly does it do that?".

At first, this will be hard because the "how" is often quite complicated. You'll have to force yourself to understand a lot of things that previously you didn't, but you'll also see why certain things you've tried in the past didn't work. This is where you learn the difference between what is easy and what is hard. You'll start to properly plan a project out before just diving in.

Later, you'll get used to processing the complexity of "how" things actually work behind the scenes, and then a strange thing will happen. Instead of seeing complexity and thinking "that person must have been a genius to come up with that", you'll see something and think "wait a minute... what idiot wrote that".

You'll suddenly find that every codebase you dig into is a steaming pile of garbage under the surfacce, and you can't bear to build anything on top of it. Congratulations, you now have NIH syndrome! You'll try lots of different languages, technologies, etc. and although they'll all be a disappointment in one way or another, you'll learn a ton in the process.

After that, there are fewer dramatic step-changes. It will just be several gradual changes:

- Some (although definitely not all...) of those things you thought were garbage turn out to actually be well motivated.

- Your focus will shift from the code itself, to more abstract engineering ideas. The coding part will just be automatic at this point, but you'll be thinking about things like backwards compatibility, ease of use, scale, performance, etc. more and more.

- Motiviation will be a bigger problem. You'll have the mathematicians problem of knowing in so much detail how to do something that actually doing it is just... uninteresting.

The only way to progress through all of this is to keep programming, keep reading other people's code, and keep learning.
Let's get rid of straws and normalize sippy cups.
> contraptions existing for years

No, they did not. Loopring NFT marketplace was launched just a couple of months ago. The optimistic roll-ups are just now getting out of alpha/beta status. Raiden finally got their mainnet release in March.

> Ethereum L1 since that has the most liquidity there

- It's not going to be an overnight transition.

- It shouldn't be

- "Liquidity" does not need to relate to usage.

Sort like "savings" vs "checking" accounts, the base-layer will hold the majority of the assets, and people should keep on the layer-2 system "just enough" for what they plan to use in the short term.
So while the BBC went for the sensationalist angle, from the article, Amazon is paying for travel travel for any healthcare, which seems reasonable especially when their warehouses are frequently remote.

The headline has pulled out abortion specifically for the clicks, all that's happening is Amazon isn't making its employee's healthcare choices for them.

That Martian music at the start is pretty damn cool! /s

It it just me or did they include barely any soudns of Mars itself and mostly just sounds of the Rover and its instruments? I totally get that maybe those sounds are much more audible but.......I would really love a longer track of just Mars itself even if it is just some boring wind.
It did. The last Ethereum upgrade specifically targeted and killed them (amongst a variety of other changes). There were a lot of smart contracts that would end with exercising the owner's gas option for a gas refund. It was glorious to see, like the icing on the cake after a massive frontrunning flash loan.

> "The maintenance process for heavy equipment should be revised to prevent future issues."

This is absolutely the diplomatic way to communicate and handle the situation on the West Coast, but interestingly, while we talk about the problem systemically, that's not necessarily what's actually happening. By putting in place a process-driven solution, Bill isn't directly blamed, but some of his autonomy is stripped away.

Sometimes the proposed systematic solution isn't even ever implemented, because what's actually being communicated is just "Don't fuck this up again, Bill."
Yes in other languages with this baked into the platform - such as Haskell, Go and Erlang - it just works and there is no color problem.
And we don't even need straws. You can just drink from the rim of the glass at a sit down restaurant like you do at home, or a to-go drink could have a sippy lid like a coffee.
Quite so. Here’s a rather well written reply: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/155636507014778...

It’s funny that in neither paper was there ever an attempt to just try the stuff and, you know, attempt mantic divination. What has science come to?
As I said in me other down-voted comment and yours is proof for the same - these post-mortems are first of all PR and second - everything else. And lots of people pointed out why they don’t constitute invaluable knowledge - because they lack the really important stuff or substitute it for marketing messages…
Dunno about this recommendation, it feels like the parent poster would have the same issues with Spec Ops as with TLoU. But still they can forge their own opinions about it.
Wouldn’t change anything. Caffeine is just an addiction like any other. It only provides a boost if you aren’t addicted. Otherwise it just brings you to baseline.

I’ve quit for long periods and restarted many times. It’s only slightly difficult for a few days.

But if you gradually decrease is over a week then you won’t even notice.
Care to elaborate? Roundup ready crops have glyphosate resistance which allows for broad application of the herbicide on a field to kill off unwanted other crops, weeds, while not harming the crops with genetically engineered resistance. Otherwise, the application of herbicide would need to be targeted to only the unwanted plants, which is a more labor intensive process. Unless I’m misunderstanding something?

I believe the date it currently counts down had been planned as the merge date/deadline but has explicitly been postponed already.

ethmerge.com still says Q2 too, but a prediction market https://polymarket.com/market-group/ethereum-merge-pos sees only a 75% chance of it happening this year, and a 61% chance of it happening by the end of Q3.
How can we trust that the SF Conservancy, or its successors, won't do something untoward with the copyright assignment?

Looking at their list of sponsors doesn't exactly assuage any such doubts as to their trustworthiness either.
I'm not a HotSpot expert, but my understanding is it puts the stack through add_reserved_region to commit it.
This doesn't seem like an ad hominem attack at all. It's a criticism of criteria you're using to analyze DALL-E in this paper. You're talking about safety-critical applications, but nobody is expecting DALL-E to be used for those. Even your examples are just people tweeting generally about the future of AGI (the obvious context being that this is a big demonstrable step forward, not that DALL-E is an AGI that society is going to rely on for critical tasks).

Sure, if you analyze it based on the criteria you've set out, it fails. The point is that nobody else cares if it fails based on that criteria, because nobody else thinks that criteria is relevant.

> but if murder were rampant

I didn't say murder was rampant.
Thank you for explaining!

To clarify, when I wrote α, I always and only meant a bound variable under a quantifier, because I didn't know about this metavariable thing at all. I was writing α → α because that's how tuareg-font-lock-symbols renders 'a -> 'a, which does include the implicit quantifier.

It's no wonder I was never able to understand HM since I didn't know about this dual nature of variables. This will probably help me a lot next time I try to understand it! I do think I understand unification, though I've only implemented it once.

I really appreciate you being willing to engage on HN, despite the unpleasant aggressiveness and character assassination that runs rampant here.
Thanks for the explanation and link.
> Why is the world so obsesed with plastic straws?

The world? It's just the media and virtue signalers who are obsessed. Far less than 1% of the population. Sadly, these people control the megaphone and makes it seem like "the world" is concerned.

> [0] https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/aug/23/big-oi...

Hilarious. The virtue signalers' manifesto - "Personal virtue is an eternally seductive goal in progressive movements, and the climate movement is no exception."

> "Citizens see themselves as part of civil society, as actors in the political system"

Actors. Don't they just follow direction? Sounds about right.

> "I have 100% clean electricity at home because people organized to make that option and the solar and wind power behind it available."

And I can guarantee that her "clean electricity" mostly comes from burning biomass, natural gas, etc. I'd bet all my upvotes on that.

> I do some of my errands by bicycle because the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition worked for decades to put bicycle paths across the city and otherwise make it safer to get about on two wheels.

Just some? Why not all of the errands?

> That vegan options are available at a lot of fast-food chains is because enough consumers have created a profitable market for them.

Vegan options exist because wealthy industrialists want to feed people processed slop instead of actual food. The people aren't hankering for some in/anti-human diet. Billionaire industrialists who want to make more money by creating a new industry paid PR firms to push veganism to dull minds. Just like tobacco companies supported "women's equality" a century ago to breakdown the taboo on female smoking and sell more cigarettes.

The author of that article is why we have paper straws. The problem with virtue signaling is that the ends are the pseudo-virtue, not actual good. A virtue signalers feels good because he gave a bum $100, even though the bum used the $100 to buy drugs and kill himself.

The author of the article virtue signals even though she produces more carbon pollution than 99.99999999999999999% of the human population. Think about that.

> Will you at least acknowledge the value of meat as a basic form of sustenance?

Given that you can sustain yourself with alternatives that are less GHG emitting, you are basically trading GHG for your own personal satisfaction/enjoyment. How is that different from me trading an equivalent GHG to get some enjoyment out of my hypothetical crypto hobby?

> Are you saying that trading crypto as a hobby is equivalent somehow?

Both things that you only do because they make you happy and something you want, not something you need to survive.

What makes a unit of enjoyment gained from trading crypto somehow a less worthy preference than the unit of enjoyment gained from eating a steak rather than a plant-based alternative?

Makes sense since most current rear-view mirrors are still manually adjustable.
Hijacking (kinda): diesels are vulnerable to a phenomenon called "diesel runaway", where unintended fuel (for instance, engine oil leaks) seems into the intake/cylinder. The engine is controlled by how much fuel is injected, so if you just add an extra amount of fuel it will start increasing torque all on its own, and in the worst case, will cause unintended acceleration.

Nowadays diesels actually come with throttle bodies for emissions reasons which I think also will serve a safety function against runaways.

> It’s doable though. The Cubans have been operating their agriculture without imported oil and fertilizers since the US shut down imports. That also meant that use of tractors became limited, as are long-distance transport for food.

This resulted in widespread food insecurity, with the Cuban government rationing food to UN poverty levels [1]. Cuba also experienced food shortages due to COVID [2]. Cuba's agricultural experience is not a very good case for organic farming.

Watching pre-code hollywood you can see how the movies from the US from that era were not far away from the european movies in terms of brightness.

Once i knew about this i understood why most of the hollywood movies turned out into the brain damages in comparison to the european cinema.. this together with plot based movies + capitalistic objectives being considered above artistic values and originality, turned things worse.

The only reason some US movies have artistic values is or because the film-makers are defiant of the system, rule-breakers, managing to bend the system into their favor or the money-making machine captivated some talented foreign film-makers.. But of course giving the system keep draining and eating itself, its never enough, and there are no roots nor a organic and sustainable growth.

But the system works in a sort of vampiresque form, so once there are no more talent to suck, or the talents are not "selling out" anymore, all the system goes down with time..

I love to watch the cultural and cinema areas because there are a lot of lessons to learn from the perspective of technology, because our fields are not that much different once you see the patterns..

I always tough that the US capitalism need some sort of balance to not always become imbalanced because its giving too much focus on profits.

Technology companies that were once inventive turn into to "give more profits to the shareholder" machines and eventually lose what actually gave them the edge anyway. Apple for instance didn't learn its lesson and its repeating the same errors of the past unfortunately..

I know it was about "pre-code" and "what it have to do with it?" right? But i focus on this to learn about how technology can blossom and other controversial things like "what the nazis did right" (*) in terms of technology to understand more about this..

(*) - My current answer to this is that the nazi were there just in time to collect all the science that have been promoted since the XIX century. So basically the nazis were there to collect and use all that scientific prowess to forge their war machine (of course they were also masters at giving people meaning and big goals/dream big).
