Bah another one of these.

Sure, the vast majority of 'ideas' are cheap, as they are too vague, or not very original, unique, pertinent, practical, whatever. Just like most diamonds, perhaps.

But once in a while a really good, novel, pertinent idea will appear, and that is actually valuable. Of course it does have to be reified to deliver that value, but a lot of the value is in the idea itself, not just the execution.

This 'ideas are cheap, execution is expensive' narrative often comes from VCs etc, and you only have to follow the money to understand why.
Competition for social status is the fuel that propels so many people's lives.

Acting rudely, just because you can, is something people struggle all their lives to achieve.

I just think Darwinian tribalism is the natural status quo of human beings.

Well thought out, altruistic, social structures, are almost the exception.
I can’t help but wonder if reducing the possibility space of opinions one might have about Star Citizen’s development process to “sweaty misogynist nerd (the bad kind of nerd)” and “magnanimous rich nerd (the good kind of nerd)” is maybe showing your hand a bit here. This isn’t to say I don’t believe you with respect to the employee death threats, nor do I think they’re a good thing — internet hate machines formed out of the froth of fermented gamer rage are unambiguously bad and steps should always be taken to reduce or eliminate the damage they cause. I also think there’s a pretty wide array of acceptably minimal and non-bigoted ways to express curiosity, scrutiny, or even displeasure with Star Citizen’s development process. Your lumping of that spectrum of thought into a single uncharitable bucket is probably why you’re being read as combative here.

This article – https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2021-09-18/consumers-want-... – says it mostly comes from the US and Europe – Canada is not mentioned. Not that it really matters whether it comes from Canada or the US.

One other factor that article mentioned – Australian pork is more expensive than imported pork, in part due to tougher animal welfare standards driving up production costs. The article says Australian pork farmers hope the government might change the labelling laws, to make it harder to present foreign pork as being "Made in Australia". Maybe one day it will happen.
> Initially, their privacy policy promised the data would only be used for tracking of the spread of COVID but it was later revealed by the parliament that the police had in fact accessed the data for investigation purposes

Australia is also complicit in abusing COVID contact tracing datasets. At least in one well publicised case, a police officer accessed someone's location information even without requesting a court order first because… well, it made sense to the police officer. There are likely other instances of the contact tracing abuse, however they are likely to have been quietly swept under the rug.

My point is that the Rubble/USD trade pair was used by the media as an indicator of Russia’s economic weakness, and it rebounded just like nothing.

Also, if you look at some of the top American financial institutions, they continued trading with Russia and you bet they made cash on a Rubble/USD pairing trade. Nevertheless, nobody is calling these financial institutions unethical or amoral. However, a middle class person trying to make a buck on the opportunity is somehow amoral.

I hope everyone realizes this thread is pure premeditated propaganda. These comments are repeating RT and Sputnik rhetoric which is aimed at muddying the waters. Makes sense to target HN since there are influential people who browse this site.

There's nothing about Russia that is "back on its feet". Listen to absolutely any respectable geopolitical expert on the future of Russia and you'll get more or less the same depressing answer.
Why Argentina?
> in the UK you have sector unions, not enterprise unions.

This is not correct, we have both much like the US.

We have unions for a particular company for example, here is the Wikipedia link for the Nationwide Union, a building society. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nationwide_Group_Staff_Union

Certainly over time they will consolidate, but that goes back to my point about age. If other warehouses unionise, at some point they will group together to prevent the closure of warehouses just because Amazon doesn't like the people working there.

I understood the US has the same situation, with groups like United Farm Workers or the Federation of Teachers.
But good luck figuring out how that code works. Disclosure I work at Microsoft and I work with ropes with millions of lines of code.
Why would average speed be a bad way to enforce a law? We already have red light cameras. We already have armed government personnel taking speedgun readings and pulling you over. Enforcing that if you travel between two toll booths and average more than 5 mph over the speed limit, you were consistently speeding. And it's very unambiguous and non-intrusive measurement as compared to light guns.
Juicero was the mirror product, then: An overpriced orange juice machine, with little packets that you can only buy on subscription, but can’t suspend while on holidays, with a QR code to prevent you from consuming after your holidays. It is also down if it can’t reach the Wifi. It showed that you can overcharge and make everything become a cloud subscription, because money was unlimited on the consumer side this time.

Surprisingly, it didn’t work outside of the Bay area. Some entrepreneurs have difficulty seeing the world’s situation beyond their local horizon.
Really. If someone like me who has a fraction of the ability and a much more common skill set is in high demand, I can’t imagine how easily he could find work. He’s going to find remote work no problem.
You mean nano ;)
This is just generic speculation about how the issue could be political. Yes, if someone is influencing governments to say chloresterol is bad because they benefit from a related drug/procedure - that _would_ be political.

However, all we have so far is baseless speculation. You are yet to provide any evidence to support any of the claims that:

- Anti-chloresterol lobbying/bribery/influence exists

- Kendrick's ideas are political in any other way (not imaginations about how they could be political with no evidence)

- The poster of the AfD has a political bias against Kendrick (ex. they support anti-chloresterol lobbyists)

Unfortunately, this discussion is looking more and more like those I've had with conspiracy theorists, so I assume any future posts you make still won't contain any proof of these claims - please prove me wrong.

Exactly because Microsoft was unbeatable, Longhorn UI ideas survived as WPF, while the OS components were rescued into C++ and COM, clunky as Windows Vista, and refined into Windows 7, including a kernel rewrite via the MinWin project.

They are on a similar position nowadays, trying to fix the UWP disaster, maybe by a future Windows 12 we get what Windows 8 should have been all along.

Likewise, starting from the same premise that Apple wouldn't be bleeding money, they would been able to keep up with their roadmap with System 8 and integration of Copland technologies.
> curve inverted and interest rates have begun to go up. Risk on?

Yes, we’re still seeing billions of dollars being deployed into start-ups [1], crypto and the like. We are less risk on than we were. But within America, there is no flight to safety. (Internationally, it’s more complicated.)

Asset and good inflation aren't the same kind of thing because you won't die if you can't buy a stock, and you can buy any fraction of a stock not just one share these days. (Although the second one is a reason they've gotten more expensive.)

Homes are a special case, but it's entirely possible for the purchase price of homes to go up while rent doesn't.
There is no way that every transaction signer whose transaction is added to a block should be considered a client of the miner of that block.

Most likely none of the transaction signers qualify as clients of the miner. Transactions are transmitted over the network anonymously via a gossip protocol, and hundreds or thousands of miners have the chance to include (or not include) any transaction in a block. Transactions are selected for inclusion in a block effectively randomly, through an entirely mechanical process, and no relationship is established or maintained between the miner and any transaction sender.

In order to assert that a transaction signer is a client of the miner that builds the block that includes the transaction, you would have to redefine what the word “client” means.
There is still considerable debate if those measures were actually effective. Did closing down entire industries, closing borders, making 20 year olds WFH etc really move the needle on Covid deaths in retrospect?

And even if it did, was it ethical, fair and is it a reasonable price to damage the economy and life prospects of hundreds of millions of young people who weren’t at statistical risk?

Its important because it means the current and future mess is down to bad science and politics and not an act of god.
Argentina's economy is a series of endless crises from the government choosing the worst possible ways to intervene in it at every opportunity. Like a reverse South Korea.
The “Average Page” is a myth (2016)
The GDP is itself exponential. A growth of +2% a year is an example of an exponential curve. Sure there are "limits to growth" (see Meadows et al.) but it's not clear whether those limits are reached yet.

Not just temporary. Steel pans can get fantastic non-stick properties if you season them like a cast iron pan. In fact it's even more important to perform a dedicated seasoning on steel, because they don't absorb the fat as easy as cast iron do during normal cooking. It also disappears after a while so in that sense you could say it's temporary.

Once you've done this you should also avoid detergent, dishwasher and acid (tomato sauce). Again - just like a cast iron skillet. Which is a shame because it's easy to believe one of the benefits with a steel pan is that it is convenient to pop into the dishwasher.
I don't see the comment you replied to as being that vague: that are claiming that the information asymmetry with the hardware manufacturers/suppliers (including Samsung) in terms of things like price negotiations and "what's the next big thing" is more valuable than the downsides of internal engineer productivity.

Regarding this:

> ... the real solution will be some sort of hybrid between a neural net and some sort of finite state automata.

From https://datascience.stackexchange.com/a/25819:

> There is research showing that a DNN can simulate any FSM. Since there are more frameworks for DNN and DNN can perform more tasks than FSM, it appears to be more useful just to forgo FSM altogether.

> More specifically, "Neural network for synthesizing deterministic finite automata" shows how a relatively simple neural network (NN) can quickly and automatically learn the correct deterministic finite automaton (DFA).

Allow me to introduce you to Digital Osmosis.
For some reason (probably our skip-reading habbit), I read the title as Windows 3.11 and was really curious what are people going to say.

This makes sense, terminology can make a huge difference when trying to research and understand a subject.
It's no surprise that low level frontend is infinitely more performant, accessible and easier to maintain than framework obscured nonsense of this generation.
What you're describing sounds like the Nordic model, where drug-related deaths are about on par with most other Western countries.

Sure, it'd be an improvement for the US, but it would still be around an order of magnitude more death (and God knows how much more harm) than the Singapore model.
> Our current inflation is driven by supply chain issues (unrelated to COVID relief)

Well, specifically it's because everyone went home and switched from purchasing services to goods. So there are serious composition effects comparing 2019 to 2020 and you don't have to assume you're making less money because an inflation number said you are.
Ya, I think that's potentially a reasonable position to take. However, if you wanted to be confident in that view I think you'd need to posit some particular reason it ought to be difficult.

I at least can't come up with any convincing specific reasons. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist of course, but given the amount of progress we've made on tasks we previously believed to be equivalent to general intelligence, it's difficult for me to see any clear reason why it shouldn't be possible sometime in the next century or two.

We have a rough idea of the quantity of computation the brain is doing, so either the brain is using computational methods beyond Turing completeness, or the only piece we're missing is the algorithm (since we're within reach of the raw FLOPs). If it's "just" an algorithm that we have to search for, it seems extremely difficult to predict when that may or may not come.
I think we are in agreement. In particular about the effects of Bay Area suburban zoning.
Exactly.

I don't like Musk as a person, but if he died I'd be worried for SpaceX and Tesla.

I wasn't actually confusing them. Javajosh was admiring the father, I mentioned the admiration (expressed by some other comments on this post) some have for his eldest son. "Like father, like son" as they say, and the criticisms I have for the son are regarding matters in which I doubt his father would have done any differently (and indeed, did do very similarly when he was alive and in charge.)

I concede that I could have worded my comment better to avoid creating the impression that I was though.
This relieves the developer of keeping track of DOM state, as you only declare the render function once

A good part.

and after that you only need to manage state

A part where to change a[n].b.c:

React: you either split into unhealthy number of “components”, which are never reused and require tons of pass-through, or only manage state as a sequence of unnatural to js “reduce” operations.

Vue: give away your data to Vue, because once it hits `.data` it gets charged with properties incompatible with the entirety of js language.

Vue is essentially a separate programming language, which somehow managed to sell the manual transpilation to its users. React did the same being Haskell-like variant. The “upon native functionality” of this is equivalent to python3.dll being upon a native functionality of C++.

Most of your points still valid, I only wanted to unfold that “only manage state” bit. It’s sad that libraries like Mithril aren’t the default, and instead monstrosities like React are.

Many years ago I had to write a script that ever developer in the company would occasionally have to use. After running into compatibility issues with python and bash I went for zsh, and never heard a single complaint. I still use bash as my main shell, out of habit (and because I know it'll be installed on whatever remote server I connect to) but zsh isn't so different. It's array syntax, for one. And figuring out what directory "this script" is in, regardless of `pwd` output, is easier.

There are numerous instances of blended and melding cultures.

These are neither purely traditional nor fully globally assimilationist.

Singapore, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Austin and San Antonio, TX, Vancouver, Sydney, London, Berlin, Miami, and Rio all come to mind. Those are among the larger cities, there are also smaller and more outlying regions.

People have always moved, migrated, and interacted. Quite often peaceably, as the alternative is extraordinarily destructive.

Einstein’s theories being confirmed is one of the best examples of the relationship between the theoretical and empirical. AFAIK, there’s no equivalent for ACT.

As a Gnome user, I've been using Evince for a long time. Yesterday, tried to open a 30mb 20-page file, and it crawled. The pages would get rendered very slow and rerender on scroll.

The linked document seems pretty clearly addressed to both teachers and students, which might not be a great decision. If they had an entry point dedicated only to students they could probably leave out all the places where they mention pedagogy. That said, I think it’s a bit of a stretch to criticize “pedagogy” as being a complicated term. It’s okay to occasionally need to look up something in a dictionary, especially in cases like this where it’s an incredibly precise and standard word for the concept it’s referring to. You could also find and replace all mentions of “biology” with “the study of life,” but I think using these terms are fine even if a very small portion of readers need to look it up once in the dictionary.
Would be nice if this covered wikipedia's interesting history of interesting drama but instead it's just an article from someone mad that Wikipedia didn't include whatever version of "race science" the author got from their favorite extreme right-wing political commentator.
Problem with "long term investing" as I see it is that to realize the gains you must get out of the market at approximately the correct time. That is difficult psychologically because if you have been able to increase your worth by doing what you have been doing so far you are likely to keep on doing it. Then one day the next crash comes. All of a sudden having been a long term investor does not help so much any more.

You need to be a long-term investor for a limited term. But hard to know when that term is over.

So I think when markets go up you should seriously consider taking some money out and using it for leisure and travel and education investing in yourself. But taking money out and spending it is not usually considered prudent investing. Especially because taking money out means you must pay taxes on it. So you stay in the market and soon most of your long-term gains are wiped out, and you have to be a "long term investor" all over again.
A brief on “how and why” to take notes?

This was a fascinating read as I work in an industry with commercial scales. In 2022, and in most countries, the certification and calibration of commercial scales is pivotal to their safe operation in commerce to such an extent that noncommercial scales are actually marked 'not for commerce' in many cases. The process of certifying a commerce scale can easily triple its price, and annual certifications from us states aren't cheap either. The whole process is extremely formal.

In the US, forging weights and measurements still carries an unbelieveably stiff penalty that dates to English commerce. Uncalibrated scales can cost you a business license and are one of the few provisions an llc cannot protect you from. Its a direct form of interstate commerce fraud to have an uncalibrated, uncertified scale for commerce purposes and in many conservative agricultural states can and has landed C level employees in double digit prison terms.
it's not needed, but image processing algorithms are pretty much what GPUs are designed for. You have a lot of data to process, and doing it quickly is always nice.

I imagine the brand recognition of being the innovator here (whether or not they really have innovated on anything, I won't judge that here) is a bigger factor in the market than it appears at first. At the very least, that lasting, prestigious reputation of being a global innovator fits the bill for the type of "personality" that the corporation exhibits and must tickle something's fancy there, and at most it causes a skew in the market towards Apple whereupon they can charge their exorbitant prices per unit because they did it first.

Something that's telling of my conjecture is the use of the phrase, "knock off airpods" in your comment - I imagine that came about subconsciously, and yet such a phrase seems to have a powerful effect on every other product that comes after.
