* LSD / mushrooms / MDMA. Apart from doing garbage collection on my subconscious psychedelics make thinking and talking much more fulfilling and satisfactory.
Printing has been solved a long time ago. Do you remember having to search for/install printer drivers?

Even after a few years, I'm still amazed that I can print from my phone to a wireless printer I have at home, and how easy it was to setup.

>Something I noticed was that being “underground” and “alternative” was considered “cool” when I was a youngster. Now, it seems all transgressive elements have been stripped from the mix and it’s all about “please like me, like my product, I’m desperate for your approval”

I think it's because anti-institutional cynicism has become the new norm with the rise of gen-x and the "ironic" hipsterdom of the early 2000s.

So much of modern culture is about operating in the negative space of the "normal" which takes significantly less effort than actively defining what you value and who you are.

What nonsense. I'm 37 and my favourite song changes all the time.
Approaching age 40. Most of my favorite songs are probably from the 60s and 70s (5-20 years before I was born), but I only heard most of them (the ones that are my favorites) after age 35. I like plenty of newer music, too. I discover great new-to-me stuff from many decades, including the current one, all the time. This seems pretty normal in my social circle, though few of us are super into music.

There aren't a ton of albums that I liked between the ages of 14 and 20 that I'd still defend as "good", though a handful are still nostalgia-listens for me. I had pretty shit taste in music then, really.
Too much people and too powerful people are benefiting from such a rotten world. Even if you somehow removed them, new people would replace them and apply the same rotten systems. The average human is not a good person. I like to think I ´d never oppress anyone, but I happen to behave like true a*hole from time to time.

That said I dream of a better world but looking at current trends, it’s quite depressing. Looks like we’re going backwards faster than ever… And I feel powerless.
In my experience, when you go on very long (10-20mi) walks in hot weather, you need a backpack even more, since you have to carry around large amounts of water (either in water bottles or in one of those hydration pack things).

Biking is different, of course--you're not outside for as long (at least for a given number of miles), and you can store your water bottles on the bike itself.

> If they advertised a million dollar prize, I win it and then they tell me it is actually 25k over 40 years

This is pretty much how almost all of these things go, including the state and multi-state lottery jackpots.

You can choose your $300M Powerball payout to be paid over 30-40 years, or you can take $125M (very loose numbers) today. Most recipients choose the cash payout, even though of course the jackpot is advertised at the annuity value.
If you are that scared of people that have more knowledge than you on topics that take decades of study to understand I can't imagine how scared you should be of politicians. On average they have close to zero knowledge about anything yet wield power to change almost any facet of your life.

Personally I'm sticking with the scientists, atleast they earnt that power through real excellence rather than winning some popularity contest.
> Can someone name a scarrier entity that could be tracking you?

FBI, CIA, local police, any branch of military, Oathkeepers (a group that did track me for a while because I organized a pro-voting event in my city)... it's a very long list. Basically anyone with a gun and a desire to harm me is a lot scarier.

In the past, companies used to assassinate leaders of unionization efforts, too.
Story #2 (also, 3, 4, 5, and so on, it’s a common thing for reinsurance companies):

Flood happens in a place where floods are uncommon, e.g. Tornado hitting Barrie, Ontario. Home insurance companies are hit with hundreds, even thousands of claims. Most are not in the eight figures, but insurance companies don’t just buy insurance against exceptional claims, they also buy insurance against single events like floods triggering unusually large numbers of claims that would otherwise fall below the deductible.

This is what reinsurance is for, so the interesting bit to me is what my client related: It seems that a statistically improbable number of people just happened to have all their furniture in the basement while they were painting their house or some such, and it all got ruined, so the insurer is on the hook for replacing furniture that wouldn’t normally be in the basement (we are not talking about people with furniture in finished basements, we are talking about people claiming they were storing furniture in their basements).

Normally they have the bandwidth to investigate such wild claims and reject most of them, but when they all come at once, the insurance company looks very bad if they tell everyone to wait a month or three while they work through a backlog of investigations. So they lay off their losses on the reinsurance ompany.

The sites appear rather lame:

Why the blocking injunction rather than going through the usual channels of filing takedown orders against the companies providing hosting for these sites?

This sets a rather nasty precedent. From here on, ISPs can be ordered to block literally anything and the plumbing will already be in place.

Between rolling back Roe v. Wade and now this, things seem to be getting out of hand with the authoritarian government in the USA.

Well, not quite. Some languages are by design good impedance matches to brains that don't know very much. BASIC is the canonical example. It's really easy to learn, which makes it attractive to beginners, but it has some pretty serious limitations that you only become aware of after discharging a certain amount of ignorance. IMHO this makes BASIC objectively worse than other languages.

To me, Lisp makes every other language I know feel like BASIC in the sense that the distinguishing features of the language feel to me like they are designed to appeal to ignorance rather than to empower.
The DoJ is not a research institution, and the CDC doesn't only study disease. They study all threats to public health, including smoking, heat waves, and bicycle accidents.
Their comment is perfectly reasonable and measured. I don't think anything in it is 'uncalled for'. Your own comment is a confusingly ironically ill-tempered response.
This is an excellent articulation. I’ve read dozens of books and articles about the cons of using technology too much and it’s never quite clicked like it did when I read your shopping analogy. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you’re a stranger on the internet and I don’t have any underlying worries about your stance being motivated by selling books or building an audience on social media.
I've done a lot of urban walking in a variety of towns. One time in a town much smaller and lower crime than St. Louis, I had a guy approach me and say "thanks for finding my phone-- give me my phone!" I was holding my own phone, and I ignored the comment and kept walking- at a brisker pace, and watching their actions very carefully. I am 90% sure I could have defended myself if he had attacked me. I'm a very average sized person, if I had been smaller who know what he would have done?

Any way, I agree, its best to always be alert and aware no matter where you are and be smart about where you walk, no matter what your gender presentation is. There are some crazy people in this world.
The insurance companies actually love this since there's no element of skill involved so the odds of winning can be computed exactly
Yeah well that's what I did, but by sci-fi plot standards it had a huge amount of merit and originality.

This isn't a peer-reviewed journal, nor the Bible. And your comment contributes too, by pointing out it isn't consistent with Western medicine. You're helping the reader who happened to buy into that, not to try combining it with scientific mainstream things, not talk about it at the water cooler, and not talk about it for instance when being psychologically evaluated. Like even if the psych likes you if you say things like that it's out of his hands and he has to flunk you. That's the mistake Feynman made, he talks about flunking a psych exam for the military, but like full-on full F, like they used special words to describe how poor they judged his mind to be, and then he replied to them accepting the F and asking to be flunked harder on the basis it was clearly crazy to write them that letter.

And he was constantly thinking about the fabric of the universe, entertained many wild theories to arrive at sound ones, I'm sure of that.

But yeah, thanks for saying that, in case readers didn't take that comment with a grain of salt. Yours was the grain of salt.
It's not obvious to me how you make capabilities available to the code running inside the WASM virtual environment.

The core security advantage of WASM is the fact that no file capabilities are provided to the workload by default.
I wonder how the prices end up for very small groups. It would be amazing to be out golfing with a small group and throw down a $50k bet while standing on the tee of a par 3. There must be some requirements like having a witness, though.
I know we are getting off track here somewhat. But it's group A wants this data to better understand society in order to save lives, while every other group want this data to increase their profits.

To your point, yes we shouldn't allow tracking. But, whatever fix we apply should not be so limited that it only affects the CDC, it should be generally applied to stop all groups as well.
> What are your thoughts on government art? (Art funded by the government.)
Sometimes it could be good. Artists need funding too, and generally that funding is lacking. Being an artists is associated with poverty.
The problem with Web Components is it's slower than React or other vDOM implementations. Also everything is a string. To re-render, you have to manipulate the innerHTML--usually replacing the string every update. To pass a prop to a component in a modular way, you have to pass a string attribute (e.g. something like <my-component my-attribute="[1,2,3]"/>). Even though v8 is extremely fast at string operations, it's just not a good practice and doesn't scale.

W3C standardized Web Components before React existed and took off, unfortunately. I expect the next standard to just be React itself (or a barebones version that the library can build on top of), patent licenses permitting. I'm pretty sure as a C++ precompile, it would be unstoppable and end the debate for good.
> I rarely do it, but it’s nice to be able to Human read when I need to. Also being able to use all the command line text tools is super convenient.

Sometimes it helps a lot to eyeball what you have before doing one off scripts to filter/massage your data. Had a recent case where the path of least resistance was database to csv to one off python to statistic tools with a gui and tabular display.

Could have probably done some enterprise looking export infrastructure but it was a one off and not worth it.
Seconding graal being hugely formative for me, and I still think of it often.

it's gone for regular pedestrian vehicles mostly, but it's still fairly common in the U.S. to see retread shops near any semi-truck hub areas.
If the public official had been on the board of a private company, would that have been okay? The article seems to suggest that 'state-owned' is a key factor in this scenario. That's a bit of a head scratcher to me, but I definitely don't know much about Peruvian politics.

Also, a bit concerning:

> On April 28, Mr. Muñoz released phone recordings which allegedly show unknown third parties requesting he pay USD $80,000 to reverse the JNE decision. “I was asked for money. They told me, ‘If you give an amount of money, we will reverse the ruling.’ I told them that I am an honest person,” he said on the television program Al Estilo Juliana.
This seems to be about what you consider "convenient". You don't consider an amount of matter too small to see to be convenient; and I guess what you mean by a convenient amount of energy to be, say, what it takes to boil an electric kettle, or incinerate a city. I agree that "convenient" quantities of energy often equate to incovenient quanties of matter, and vice-versa. FSVO "convenient".

But that's very subjective, as is "gargantuan". The ratio is what it is; it's not like a machine that is much more efficient than other machines, that convert mass to energy at a lower rate. It's not a big ratio or a small ratio; there's nothing to compare it to.
I believe that's in regards to Fauci saying the mandate reversals by the Supreme Court are unfortunate and should be left to them to decide.
And, fun fact, "socat" is how "kubectl port-forward" works so it'll likely be present on any machine behaving as a kubernetes Node

> fan-translated versions put more care into preserving intent and readability in translations

There's a reason for this - money. If there's a particularly high quality scanlation, it's because someone has paid a group to do it.

There's a lot of relatively skilled work that goes into translating a manga from Japanese to English: Translation, Proofreading, Redrawing (removing Japanese glyphs and literally re-drawing what they covered), Typesetting, QA. Some of these steps can take minutes per chapter, some take days. And like all skilled labor, they're typically paid. Especially the translators - you can't not pay them if you want both quality and stability.

That payment can take several forms - Patreon accounts direct payments to have a particular manga translated (probably most manga produced will never get an official translation), and tip jars. Many scanlation groups would love to go legit - purchasing the American distribution licenses - but it's a hard road.

Also, the scanlation scene provides something very valuable for the Japanese publishers: free market valuation. It's why the Japanese publishers who hold the English publication rights rarely go after scanlation groups and sites - it tells them which of their properties are worth licensing off to American companies. It's these companies that go after the scanlations, and most groups give in peacefully - often glad for the opportunity to reward bringing manga to their countries.

Ironically, the skilled labor I called out above? It's the same thing that causes poor quality official translations. It requires a lot of labor, lots of time, and probably comparatively small profit margins.
Actually they do. They have performed some firearms research in recent years. The restriction is just that the money cannot be spent on studies looking to support gun control. They choose to err on the side of caution and limit the studies rather than seek clarification through the courts on what would constitute supporting a policy.

I remember Graal, but where I really sank time in was Era, a modern day mod of Graal. It was so cool, like if Zelda and GTA had a baby. You could get an assortment of weapons, join gangs, get in violent shootouts, I even remember getting blown at a beach house by someone playing a hooker. I think they eventually introduced cars or something. For a middle school kid it was super cool, even though the city was kind of small there was tons of role playing opportunity and emergent gameplay.

Although I’d probably get bored of such a game these days, I’d probably have a lot of fun building it out and watching a community grow from playing it.

I sometimes wondered about the developers who built this game. Maybe they were the age I am now when they wrote it. Is it my turn now to build a game like this for some new younger generation? A circle of life? Eh, I don’t know, I feel like kids these days just don’t play these kind of games anymore on a PC.
Well that's also something you want to model. You don't just track the numbers you achieve all day, you track the first minute, the next 29 minutes, the next 7 1/2 hours, and see how it changes.

Then that tells you whether someone at home who knows they're gonna be throwing pingpong balls into watermelons tomorrow, and does some practicing today, can measurably improve their chances.

So now you price the insurance differently depending on whether the challenge is announced to the contestants in advance, or if it's a surprise when they arrive at the event. How differently? You now have data for that.
Could this effect also explain why a lot of seemingly truly original music came out in the 80s .. roughly coincident with a peak in wealth distribution in the middle class ?

My reasoning : a post-war relatively wealthy middle class and free University education meant more time for things like attending political protests, tinkering with emerging electronics/computers, engineering projects and garage bands.

We have wonderful flat screens now, much better comms .. and yet nothing seems fixable, were killing the planet with our carbon emissions and not many people seem concerned, and our best most energetic young minds are slaves to servicing their student debt.

Until recently, Denis Villeneuve's movies were in this range as well:

* Prisoners: US$ 46M

* Sicario: US$ 30M

* Arrival: US$ 47M

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denis_Villeneuve#Reception

His first three movies were <$7M. He went up market (>$160M) with BR2049 and Dune.
Ask HN: What projects would help a Data Engineering application?
Are there any personal projects or open-source contributions that would show Data Eng skills? I'd be looking to transition from Data Analyst but I do have years of personal coding experience.

It seems most contribution opportunities to open-source data engineering tools are in fact software updates.
Scanlations of the big Shonen were far superior to the official translations. I read one piece and Naruto scanlated first and then through a subscription to shonen jump. The shonen jump translation were awful. Reading yugioh was so bad I just download the scanlations and found them much better. The best official translations I read were the CLAMP manga xxx Holics, tsubasa chronicles, etc. there was a lot of bad scanlations, but the good scanlation was better than the best official.
I also really hate the use of Telegram by ostensibly open source projects for this reason.
Story #3:

After regaling me with stories about improbable events and how much the reinsurance company had to pay, the GM of the office I dealt with told me that he owned two cottages:

One “entertaining” million-dollar cottage on a lake in Muskoka, Ontario, where one could jet-ski and power-boat.

And one “get away from it all” cottage on a different lake that had a 5km/hr speed limit, effectively barring motorized sports.

From this I deduced that for all their wild payouts, they were running a good business that could afford to pay its management quite handsomely.
sure, just saying that

>virtually unlimited executive powers the CDC believes it has

is not true
As a former reader of "The Irregular in Magic High School", official translations are not proof against poor quality. I get it, the original author used lots of arcane and formal Japanese, but good lord it was terrible.
The section about trusting dependencies, the scenario where they go away, version churn etc doesn't resonate with me in regards to react.

I don't know any project in JS-land that is more serious about semver, backwards compatibility and reliable upgrades than react. If facebook dropped the project tomorrow, Vercel alone could probably continue to maintain it well.
