> We can only guess, but sometimes (at least from native American verbal history) this can happen because the people have experienced feudalist systems and realised how bad that turned out.

This seems like a pretty reasonable theory, but does indicate a little problem I think -- the people have experienced the feudal system will only be around for a couple generations after the change-over. So, at least to the extent that this is the cause, it would likely be a transitory configuration, right? (ignoring some unusual circumstances, like being neighbors to a particularly unpleasant feudal state and having them as a constant contrast). I wonder what that sort of configuration decays toward.
I bought a fantasy novel recently that was written in 1998. Turns out the author wrote 11 more novels in this series which was a big part of why I chose it. The most recent novel came out in 2021. She no doubt will receive a tiny amount of income in 2022 from my purchase in 2022 stemming from work she completed in 1998. I would classify that as passive income but of course is it really? Would the book have even been on the shelf at Books A Million if she has stopped writing in 2000? Hard to say but I think most people would consider that passive income earned this year.
My issue is the induction area is smaller than my pan and cast iron conducts heat poorly, so only the middle ~7" of my 12" pan is hot, the rest is downright cold.

Though my cast iron wok heats properly, for almost the same reason!
You don't have to be a certain age to have used modems. You used one today to send that comment! Likely more than one.

Radio, cable, and fiber don't carry bits. They carry waves - analog signals - just like an old fashioned copper phone line. They all need a modulator-demodulator to convert between bits and waves.
If you actually read that Wikipedia article, you will see that many eminent historians do not apply the term "feudalism" outside of Europe at all, and of those that do, qualify that application heavily to emphasize the peculiarity of the social formations of Europe in the middle ages.

For a view of feudalism that treats it as distinctively European, below is a quote from Perry Anderson in "Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism" (p19). If you doubt the relevance of Anderson, consider that he is not just quoted in the article linked above, but that he edits the journal in which it was published.

> The dual predecessors of the feudal mode of production were, of course, the decomposing slave mode of production on whose foundations the whole enormous edifice of the Roman Empire had once been constructed, and the distended and deformed primitive modes of production of the Germanic invaders which survived in their new homelands, after the barbarian conquests. These two radically distinct worlds had undergone a slow disintegration and creeping interpenetration in the last centuries of Antiquity.
Less people = cheaper land = cheaper lots of other things, including housing, food, etc.
Not only that but most of his correct "predictions" would have been true in 2012 using is very definitions of success. It doesn't really count as a prediction if it's already existing and adoption is growing before your eyes.

- traffic jams: GPS was widely used well before 2012, and by 2012 iphone adoption was already quite high. Plenty of people were already using google maps for directions with traffic info.

- Attracting a bar-tender's attention. The ipad came out in 2010 and I definitely recall a few novelty "order with an ipad" applications popping up right away. Sure the penetration wasn't that deep, but it existed and still isn't anywhere near universal today.

- Recharging gadgets. This has probably changed the most since 2012, but USB ports were already starting to show up in airplanes and hipper hotel rooms.

- Replacing used up items. Sure instacart was just starting out in 2012, but Task Rabbit had been around for a few years, and at least in SF, was used by a fair number of people.

- Waiting for a taxi. Uber was founded in 2009, and I distinctly remember it had already dominated SF by that point. Sure it hadn't expanded to other cities yet, but taxis in the Bay area where already widely replaced. Uber was arguably better in SF in 2012 than it is in 2022
I don't think those things necessarily answer the question. Also, how long has China been at extending their influence abroad? How long does these processes take? Obviously, in the case of Europe, this has been going on for centuries. Influence is inevitable because to influence others you have to be open to be influenced. Chinese that go to these countries to make deals, embassies with workers that grow culturally connected, this is the start. Relationships may tighten beyond this. I could go on.
Ah, populist anger, populist anger everywhere. You don't even know who are taking these flights, just that they're offered by Lufthansa. But sure, in your mind they're "[the] same people".
Oh, sure. Accepting credit cards is great. But only accepting credit cards is literal evil and against the law in the USA. To get around this they make you swipe the card to be able to order. That way there is no debt you can chose to pay in cash. It's obviously a loophole in the current laws. Some large cities have local regulations to prevent this evil.

They started doing this long before the pandemic. It's not about that.
I live comfortably on passive income at 34 years old with my diverse portfolio of income producing assets, which include but are not limited to:

1. Businesses I founded & own that are managed & operated by my employees.
2. REITs & other dividend paying stocks.
3. Real property that I own that is managed by property managers.
4. Music that I have published and receive streaming royalties on.
5. Personal loans (this is risky and I don't recommend it, but I do make some passive income this way).
6. Crypto lending (I use Stablegains which is currently paying 15%(!). Use my referral code to get $25 FREE when you sign up: https://app.stablegains.com/signup?ref=SWKDN4UXUG
7. Asset trade-ups to capture capital gains (such as in real estate).
8. Leveraging credit card cash back rewards by using these types of cards for ALL of my purchases, business and personal.

These are my primary income earners, and when added together, they make quite a sum of passive income for me. I started at zero like many of you here. It is possible to build a diverse portfolio of passive income with relatively low risk, without starting with a ton of capital. It just takes some good ideas, excellent execution of those ideas, self-control over your spending, and smart decision making. Don't lease the new Tesla when you can get by with the $5k SUV you already own. Those kind of things.
I used mineral oil but it clogged the crap out of my sink constantly. Just leaving the razor out to air dry has been fine for me.

If I had to guess visibility. I may be wrong but at the very least it seems research is being done intro drugs that haven’t had the most or best research done. I one time gave my self a serotonin syndrome scare and was concerned by the lack of quality research and information on the serotonergic affects of many drugs.

If there are direct trains there is simply no excuse.

Frankly, wherever there are fast alternatives, I wonder if the days of airlines are numbered.

Push through rail opportunities like maybe more runs with smaller trains, better synchronization of schedules, quick connections, faster trains etc..
To add a late caveat to my previous statement. There are cases around physical goods where Google does not take a cut for enough purchases ( and allows these companies to use their own payment processors). This applies to things like Uber and Lyft, and buying things through the Amazon app that gets shipped to.

The linked study reported 7-337 ng of PFOA emitted per pan, over the span of 20 minutes. According to [1], the concentration of PFOA in the average american's blood is 2.1 μg/L, which is orders of magnitude more. I concede that there's technically some PFOAs left over in pans, but I stand by my claims that the pans themselves are a non-issue.

I wrote a post about how to understand find syntax:

find and test: How To Read And Write Them

https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/04/find-test.html

tl;dr The args AFTER the root dir args form a boolean expression language -- I call it the "I'm too lazy to write a lexer" pattern

find /tmp -type -f -a -name 'foo*'

test is the same way, e.g.

test -f /tmp -a -f /bin

Microsoft’s new ‘One Outlook’ email client for Windows is starting to leak out
I see it as at least partly an overcorrection of the past. I still can’t search something as benign as Kava without websites swearing to me it’s more dangerous than hard drugs and telling me I should to pay for their addiction treatment for a non addictive substance.
I learned adhoc at work, so unfortunately don’t have any good recommendations.
They do not only work for two days a week, come on. The European Parliament is for nearly all intents and purposes located in Brussels, the Strasbourg one is considered more of a spinoff. I seriously doubt that the parliamentarians enjoy this unnecessary monthly commute, they would certainly prefer staying in Brussels the whole time.
Sounds like the world is telling those graduates they should stop wasting their time in academia and move to industry.
Cores are basically free.

Interconnect is expensive.

Seriously. A Pentium IV was 40M transistors. A Ryzen V 2000 has around 5 billion transistors. It could fit 100 Pentium IV cores if desired.

That's not desired -- those transistors are better spent bumping up IPC a little bit -- but we can have a perfectly adequate processor at 1% of a modern CPU.

Pentium IV single-core performance is almost identical to a modern entry-level netbook processor:

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Pentium-4-300GHz...
Still, would you be content with 6 billion, or what?
On what visa can you currently do that?
Not really surprising. Perpetual growth is a myth, and there is no silver bullet to prevent climate change. Permanent warming and its consequences are now a foregone conclusion. Younger people see the writing on the wall, and birthdates in developed countries will continue to fall.

Countries should begin to manage the draw down of population rather than see it as calamity. It will happen either way.
You can get away with just using a clipper without a guard to tidy up the neck
I'm a mountain biker, so I may have a different perspective.

I just flip the bike and dial in the adjustment by eye and spinning the crank. Assuming the derailleur isn't bent, this is usually just about perfect.

I get what you're saying about power being a variable in adjustment, I just haven't found that it's a concern for me. Maybe MTB drivetrains have less flex/are less succeptible to that, or I'm just too unsophisticated to realize :)
With electric I find myself missing bits of hair occasionally. That doesn't really happen with a wet shave since the foam tracks where you've shaved.
That's convenient, but I'd rather not have my eating habits data mined for use against me later. (Especially not food truck food)
Mine take ~ 1 tsp for three eggs. I let the pan get hot enough that it slides around with water like viscosity, spread it evenly with a paper towel and throw the eggs on.

Reminds me of the AI that tattoos "Not Sure" on the protagonist in Idiocracy. I'm glad people are highlighting how inadequate these models currently are in playing any kind of non-trivial role our lives.
That is what I too think, however there are 2 issues that come to mind immediately:
1. There is a market for tablets - for note taking or reading magazines, it really is convenient. You could probably switch to a Samsung tablet and likely get a very decent experience, but a lot of the "good" apps are still iOS-only (Procreate, Goodnotes, Notability etc). Not to mention a decent aspect ratio.

2. If buying a proper computer, personally unless you only use MacOS it's prudent to get an x64 chip. Intel's 12th gen chips are (fortunately, finally!) again competitive even with M1s. An Intel/AMD chip can run Windows/Linux/MacOS/BSD/most OSes, but M1 Macs unfortunately can't.

Ironically I plan to upgrade from my Air to a Pro for the high refresh rate. Getting a 90hz phone really spoiled me in the most first-world way possible.

- Things 3 is another classic example of an app that would be very easy to port to other platforms if so wished, but the devs aren't interested in going outside Apple's Walled Garden. And if it makes them good money I can't even blame them.
Expired Chromebooks are cheap, and great for installing Linux.

For my purposes, a $100 used Chromebook is perfectly adequate, and is the sort of device I can take on a hike, kayak, or bike ride, and not worry if it's lost, stolen, or damaged.
Memory throughput keeps increasing. While the number of channels per core doesn't increase, the clock rate keeps increasing, and when it stops increasing then bus width typically increases.
I’m wondering if increased visibility into DXM is going to get it RX only’d. I read somewhere that the only reason it is OTC is because the best alternative was Codeine, not sure if it’s true.
There's mention here of the Python output option in ANTLR. It has serious performance problems (which the other output languages don't have). Please be aware of this, and test to see it's fast enough before committing to it. As said, other languages don't suffer this problem and ANTLR is a very good option with them.
welcome to capitalism, that's what we reward; so why complain?
Thanks for the heads up and good to hear you were able to deploy the app manually. We might deprecate the migrator because it's hard to keep up with all the Heroku stack and buildpack configs and because manual migrations are relatively straightforward.
One of the few objects from my dad (RIP) that I still have is his shaving brush. He didn't use a straight razor, though, in case you're wondering.

Now if one of you says you use one of those, you've got my undying respect.

(Never used it, though. I'm an electric razor guy myself.)
I agree with you here in general, and I think this is part of the definition of civilisation. But I still think the way it's phrased in the parent is wrong, that it's a "flaw" and "what's wrong with society", if it's actually a function of nature.

I think it's still important to acknowledge what is part of our nature, and even if we can improve on that, it probably doesn't work to go too much against it, or deny it.
I fell in love with the first book and wholeheartedly recommend the entire series. It's great.
Yeah. I wonder if it looks anything like gstreamer...
Your talking about electric 'shavers'. "Electric razors" AFAIK don't exist. There are plenty of good options for keeping your hair neat but I've never seen of one that can give you the type of clean shave you get with a plain ol fashioned razor, at least not if you have coarse/dark hair.
I am not the poster you are replying to but I feel the need to point out that 200 papers isn't an obscenely high number that most people on HN will never reach.

I had to include at least 5 sources minimum for each paper that I wrote in undergrad. That means reading at least twice that number to find ones actually relevant to the subject I chose. Add this to the papers they require you read merely to supplement the text book, and your average student with 4 classes a semester can average 20 to 30 papers easily.

It's just reading research. It's not like you have to write the papers yourself.

I'd guess for my graduating thesis alone I burned through 50 papers over 3 months looking for supporting fundamentals before figuring out my experimental direction was stupid and I had to start again from scratch.
Frankfurt is a major Lufthansa hub.

There is a train station at Frankfurt Airport, but a plane connection would be airside, and for connections having to travel to city center possibly with bags is a minus.

These days there is onboard wifi on most planes.

This should be good - less people, more resources (land, fuel, etc) per person
As a group expands in size, don’t the opportunities for an individual to amass wealth, and then translate that to power, also increase significantly?
For a couple close friends of mine, the answer has been ADHD diagnoses and medication. It's led to a drastic improvement.

Obviously does not apply to everyone. Do not self diagnose or self medicate. See a professional!

So TFA addresses the expense/waste issue. If you're using a safety razor (or a leaf[1] if you prefer the multi blade style), and are buying blades from feather or similar.

Technique will eliminate ingrown hairs/cuts etc,

The exfoliation provided by using a razor (disposable, safety, or straight) is something some people find desirable (see also microblading) YMMV

Time and effort is more interesting to me. For me the time spent shaving (and on other parts of self care) is part of the value of shaving in the first place. This isn't a process that I choose to speed up

As for travelling, I use a soap puck rather than shaving foam or cream, so TSA doesn't care about that, blades are more of a crap shoot.

[1] https://leafshave.com — I use one of these for armpits and back hair, and then a traditional style merker for face
Have you tried `ps faux`? :)
Might be cheeky, but actually insightful too - all of these experiments share the assumption that the human/intelligence involved has chosen to cooperate with the experiment and do its best at the assigned task as written. So how do you control for things like the person decided that the assigned task was boring and wanted to amuse themselves by intentionally giving an incorrect answer in a way that they found amusing?

I came to ask why it's OK for a japanese to be ethnic-nationalist but it's not OK for a european?

What's wrong with being ethnic-nationalist?
I too use a Merkur safety razor (for the past ~18 years) and Feather blades. I only shave once a week nowadays (with very few exceptions). It’s my weekly routine: it takes me some time, but I get the shave I want.
As a brown man living in a post 9/11 United States, I get treated extremely differently when I have a beard vs when I am clean shaven.
I love okukar and use it regardless of desktop environment.
I think there might be varying levels of nudges. But yes you're right, people are nudged to do the things they want to as well. Maybe the resentment comes from people being nudged to do what they dont want to e.g. give your credit card information for free trials is almost a universally hated nudge
I bought a Hero some fifteen years ago. You can lap the blades if you like, or buy very good replacements for like $15 or less. You should be able to make this run for decades.

The cord annoys me though, but cordless will definitely not last as long.

hmm
I disagree that it’s better than yours. Looks like crap on my phone and is significant overkill for this. Yours is better.
FIDO weakens security by limiting authentication to just something you have (a device/USB token) and something you are (biometrics) while throwing out the requirement for something you know (a password). Something you have can be easily stolen, and biometrics cannot be kept secret, can be forged, and can't be reset/changed once compromised.

Having something you know (a password) is more secure because something in your memory that you don't share can't be taken from you by any means. Passwords aren't perfect (you can be tricked into sharing it, or tortured into giving it up) but there are solutions for being forced to hand over a password, and neither tokens or biometrics solve the problem of people being tricked.

No one can murder you in an alley, and drag your lifeless corpse to an ATM and clean out your bank account because the murderers have your face, and fingerprints, even your cell phone, but not your pin. Good security should always require a secret that you know.

Not having a password would be fine for logging into low risk sites like this website, where at worst someone might get your account banned or post comments under your username, but any site or transaction where the risk is greater should just always require a password.
Yes this exactly, but also produce. Remember, production comes first, stuff we want doesn’t (mostly) grow on trees.
