I didn't say that I was offering a measurement, in fact, I asked how we were defining "an objective measure." Moreover, I have no idea how many Democrat voters go along with the institutional Left.

That said, the institutional left (IL) is pushing Project 1619 and associated materials outside of law schools, whether or not you want to call that CRT. (Shades of "no true Scotsman.")

This is part of a broader "all-in" on DIE by the IL. "Everything" is racism, sexism, etc.

There's also deplatforming and doxxing.

No, I'm not going to provide a scale. I'm not even going to order deplatforming and doxxing. So, the above isn't quantitative measure.

That's a long way from "nothing is happening."
Good time to buy if you want to make 33% in less then a month, probably...
Is there a context from which Emacs' defaults are bad, other than "Windows did it differently!" ?

I'm asking because I learned its defaults before windows had the market prevalence that it does, and it just doesn't seem all that different from an outside perspective.

I think the term 'grognard' is not helpful to your case. When I read it I find myself assuming that you're dismissing the experiences of people whose context starts before yours. You might prefer to give a different impression.
In this case the algorithm pegs the coin to another cryptocurrency, LUNA. You can algorithmically exchange 1 USD worth of LUNA for 1 UST at any time.

But note that this algo doesn't help you cash out your LUNA! Is 1 USD worth of LUNA really worth 1 USD if there is nobody who will buy it from you?

If there isn't a healthy USD-LUNA market, the fact that the UST-LUNA market is algorithmically enforced doesn't help you that much.

Algorithm won't help you make a healthy LUNA-USD market, only way is to have a market maker putting up USD and LUNA reserves to offer liquidity to buyers/sellers.
Seems like the elephant in the room across the board in this market, whether you're talking about Netflix, Coinbase or anything else, is that we haven't seen inflation out of control for 30+ years and now here it is. An entire generation are now adults or even into middle age who never experienced it before. Most especially, never experienced how difficult it can be to control because it is such a self-reinforcing phenomenon.

I have no idea if this is going to turn out to be the protracted downturn or again something we bounce back from. But there is definitely at least something different in the equation now that we have not seen for a long time.

I'm generally an optimist, but I'd say if people are buying this dip, at least do it with your eyes open and buy it slowly and steadily, being prepared that it could be a 5-10year recovery period.
It only takes one round-trip for both sides to be confident that the first message was received. However, the second party can't be sure the first party knows they received the message without hearing an ACK from the first party. As far as they're concerned, the first party might think it's shouting into the void. This despite the first party (hypothetically) in fact receiving the second party's ACK.

Both parties can never agree on the status of all messages, because you have to generate a new message in order for an old one to advance its state. TCP works on this principle, but because not all messages are semantically relevant to the application, it can generate extra messages to push semantically meaningful messages into the agreed-upon prefix.

On the other hand, a TCP connection must always terminate with at least one message un-ACKed. The best we can do is guarantee that there are no more application-level messages in flight.
I only knew about it through notes and thought it was neat but a little clunky... This "Scan from iPhone" feature is great, wish they made it easier to find as I've used MacOS for years and never knew about it.
Yeah github pages is basically GeoCities with a little extra data farming by Microsoft. Works fine, if you don't mind that.
> Could have been written “the rise of heresy and the glorification of idolatry”.

"Heresy" and "pseudo-science" are not synonyms. "Ignorance" and "idolatry" definitely aren't even similar. This point is poorly argued

> There’s no rise of pseudo-science; that’s been with us all along, and generally far more prevalent than it is today.

Certainly there's always been pseudo-science. Far more prevalent, perhaps. But never has it been more harmful.

> The science continues to win regardless, because it can be proven without appeal to emotion or authority.

This I disagree with. Any time politics enters into the equation, an appeal to emotion or an appeal to authority become benefits. For example, Nuclear power is statistically safer than any other form of electricity generation, yet politicians worldwide can win on anti-nuclear platforms. Choose any intersection of science and politics, and there is no obvious pattern of science winning.
> This in my mind is the key reason we as a society did not solve the pandemic quickly.

Ignoring a lot of the specifics you make a good point. There was a lot of good effort thrown after bad mistakes, financially, medically and unfortunately sacrificing civil liberties.

This gamblers fallacy of 2020-2021 is starting to wear off and the hangover is setting in. 2023 is going to hurt :(

The crypto market won't all evaporate because it is a very useful tool for money laundry, illegal transactions, and bribes.

But this is hopefully a much smaller market than the current one.
I hated a long time on AMZN too. Regretted it. NET looks similar to me, albeit it won’t be taking over 30% of the economy of course.
Yep. People should learn the difference between Kwon filing an opposing statement [that may have seemed convincing] and a judge actually ruling that way. By "late last year but failed spectacularly" I think /u/atian just accepted that process story (nov/dec) as being the result, perhaps because first the SEC filed and then Kwon filed a response. Every question before the court in cases like these has at least three documents typed up in Times New Roman and looking like that. Only the last one matters, the first and second are not useful to lay folk except to indicate that things are still chugging along.

In summary: the judge agreed with the SEC. The subpoena is being enforced.
People only report it when it's going to be, or already is a big deal, but any injury is supposed to be reported. But yeah, on top of that there is a lot of shit that's real slow to build, RSI for example, or diabetes. Of course with all the rules, anybody that does get injured is going to be painted liable for it, and if you don't get your story straight it's an employment risk to the injured.

> what makes you think that the ancillary effects of a crypto crash wouldn't effect you in some way?

That it's not that intertwined yet. And such a crash would likely prevent a lot of such going forward, which is arguably very good news for the longer term.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm but it is great sarcasm if it is!
That symbolic dollar causes so much overhead though.

Who tracks who has bought or not bought it? Should users/software devs/hardware makers pay? For potentially billions of users/software copies/devices across many national jurisdictions.

I click the x265 video link. And now the browser/OS/hardware have to do a dance to determine if I am allowed to watch the video or not.

Or because that is a big hassle, don't bother. Use x264 until AV1 is supported.
Those will still be optical points, sadly. There's no (spatial) resolution possible for things smaller than the diffraction limit.

edit: But it can still provide 1-D light curves, for planets rotating at the right speeds. Combined with spectroscopy, it's plausible it could show a planet where one can say, e.g. "this side is ocean; this side has a continent".
A counter example, my neighbor owns a small drycleaning business and was able to navigate the paperwork. He has a long-time relationship with a particular local bank and I think someone there helped him navigate.

There's a bifurcation when some of the jobs that used to be done by HTML/CSS webdevs is getting done by engineers writing Javascript, but many (IMHO most) of the earlier 'webmaster' tasks are now effectively done by someone putting content in what-you-see-is-what-you-get CMS.

Webdev has automated the easy parts so much that they need zero development and the main skill needed is in writing good content; and the only stuff that does require actual webdev is those things which are not so simple to become a function in some premade system.
The phrase "irrational exuberance" is sprinkled throughout John Bogle's book, Don't Count On It. (At least I think I'm remembering that correctly. But some Google brought up Alan Greenspan as using the phrase a lot.)

If you don't recognize the name, he founded Vanguard and the first index fund.
Doing so well in fact that they manage to export quite a bit of what they grow.
Agreed. Netflix’s only option at this point is to merge with a large IP holder meaning Paramount (formerly ViacomCBS).

Netflix was not as aggressive as they needed to be in locking down must-see brands to 1) keep subscribers or 2) better negotiate with the content players.
> increases in healthcare spending

FWIW, New York's current Medicaid budget alone puts it between San Marino and Israel for per capita healthcare spending. Widening the net a bit, that's between Italy and the UK.
I did that in 2008 by going to Salesforce. It worked out really well. Highly recommend.
How can you make that judgment in earnest? The posts you see are guides. No one is going to post ‘I’m doing this in emacs right now, for x hours’. How can you say people are configuring more than using, when you have no data on ‘using’? With that said I agree with the general sentiment. It does take a lot of configuring compared to some other editor. I’d say my configuring/working fraction is 0.1. Emacs rewards study though.
They're also kinda the Google of TV in my mind too at this point

No point getting into a Netflix original, it won't make it to s02
You don't want a very fun time generally, that's merely when you sell and realize your profit.

You want some brutal, unrelenting misery with extreme bearish selling. That's when you strike your claim, that's when most of the future returns are set - that's the beautiful buy point. You don't get rich chasing and buying markets ever higher, you get rich buying cheap while everybody else is busy running for cover, and then you sell back to them when they come back to pay N times what you did (and whether it takes six months or six years is irrelevant so long as the return is good enough).
Nope - just lazy, or I play with other knobs.

Plus, I can usually work in someone else's Emacs session and most people can work in mine. (Yes, they almost always comment on how it's odd to not have their customizations, but they're not tripped up by mine.)
Because you are employing the same rhetoric that YECs often do.
> that we should have access to anything we want at any time of year. But that doesn't really need to be the case.

Interesting you should mention that, this was actually the dinner table subject a few days ago when I explained to my kids that what they think is 'normal' has only been the case for a couple of decades at best and that in the not so very distant past winter meant that you were not going to have a whole lot of fresh stuff. They found it quite incredible that you would not be able to buy apples or bananas year round.

Most mechanics I know would grumble a bit after the third time. It's a bear of a job, and they'd make more profit doing twenty oil changes in the same amount of time.

The DBA's job doesn't generally extend to fixing your code to use database features correctly, write SQL in a sane way, etc. Even if it does at your company, unlike the mechanic they're not being paid by you to do that work; they get their salary regardless. So it's natural that if you keep bringing unpleasant work to them because you're bad at your own job, they're going to get upset.
How long has UST managed to stay pegged to the dollar, despite being self-evidently unsound? The market can remain irrational indefinitely, &c &c.
What's described with the communication via a memory address and buffer is pretty much how every PCI(E) peripheral works in essence.
Shouldn't we be comparing AV1 to HEVC, not H.264? Seems like an unfair comparison. I would expect that AV1 is computationally (and quality-size-ratio) much more comparable to HEVC than to H.264.

If we're going to do AV1 vs. H.264, and complain that AV1 is much slower, we might as well compare XviD and H.264 and complain about the latter.
Didn't claim there was a single pioneer bucking any given trend, I used plural in my previous replies to refer to pioneers as a whole.
I didn't read the whole article. I couldn't. I couldn't get past the complete mis-analysis of what the web was in 2012. I was there. I was working as a developer, writing HTML5 code, no one was using tables, let alone flash. The initial arguments of this article are completely off base. Coffeescript was never sexy. It never took hold (despite some big dev names pushing it, sorry Jeremy).

Writing HTML back then is very similar to writing it now, only now you wrap it in a return statement and it lives in a jsx file.

No code has never been a silver bullet. It's main use has always been to solve "known" problems with reproducible components. If you had something you wanted to do outside of those components, you were SOL.

In 1999, we used tables. In 2009 we use divs. In 2019 we use divs and custom elements. In 2022 its all about those web components!

So make sure if you are going to go back in history, that you are factual and not making stuff up. Thanks.

The term has been in use since 80's Usenet - has it been that long? Wow. Fair enough that you just like sock puppets. Though I hope you do you see the humour in someone who defends big corporations like Monsanto on forums having an email ending in sockpuppet. It's so on the nose its almost painful. Anyways, enjoy your day.
You're right. A meme is uneditable once it takes off.
thanks, your points are really well made

It's an interesting aspect of the whole situation that many people currently are in living arrangements that they may never have planned if they thought remote working was on the cards. We definitely have to be sensitive to those that have highly adverse circumstances, especially where that translates to being yet another form of discrimination or reinforcement of privilege.

Going forward I can see this being quite transformative for society in general as people seek out living arrangements that favor WFH as it becomes normalised. I feel like housing that offers segregated spaces for work and living etc are going to be highly prioritised.
Love the concept and design language! I had been thinking about making something like this for clojure for some time, but never got around to it. In my head I was thinking you would be able to drag in functions from libraries / other namespaces into the canvas. I'm gonna have to play around with this.
It warms my heart to think I could still be graded on language use so late in life. How would you describe it?

I’m not in the day trader army, but I do swing trade, and have done alright on the way down— shorting / buying puts. As far as I can see, there’s no reason to think someone who did well last year trading meme stocks hasn’t made money this year shorting them.

At this point, we’re oversold, and I’m mostly in cash waiting for setups to show up again.
> There is no "dehumanizing portrayal of Russians" in the West

This is such a big topic, I'll stick to one narrow example, the accepted tone of discussion here on HN. Consider for a moment the plight of the Arabs in Palestine. They clearly have something to complain about in their treatment by Israel. However, we recognize a difference between complaining about Israel and expressions of anti-Semitism. One is accepted on HN and the other is not. Returning to the case of Russians, for a few years now, there has been a regular stream of Russo-phobic commenting on HN that doesn't get called out. When you see people making these kinds of comments about Russians, try replacing "Russians" with "Jews" and see how it sounds.

> Russian sources, reported that...the common sentiment on the street was one of jubilation.

So, what formed the outlook of Russians to make this the case? The trend here and around the West is to attribute it to some combination of economic factors and disinformation. Again, I'll point to one factor that is ignored. Since the independence of Ukraine, ethnic Russians there have suffered considerable abuse from the state and at local level. There is a 2008 article in The International Journal of Human Rights that gives some horrific details.[1] Consider that Russians have been hearing stories like this about the Ukraine for 30 years. With that perspective, you can see how someone could think this war is genuinely a fight for justice.

Funny seeing this here. I was playing with ffmpeg settings earlier and decided to encode a game highlight with AV1. It's only 20 seconds and seven hours later, it's just about done. I'm certain I can twiddle more settings to make it faster, but at this point I can't give in to the slow speed. Only ~21 frames to go!

Would it be permitted to purchase a cordial or other flavor concentrate? Would you apply for a tax refund with a signed log documenting your beverage preparation events and dilution ratios were below the requisite limit, or would it be more of a self-reporting system where you could flag instances where where a child's clumsy pour or unexpected weather causing higher than forecast evaporation rates pushed their lemonade-stand concoction over the line?

Raw sugar? Highly controlled? Or permissible in batters for the express purpose of creating cake or cake-like solids? I feel that frosting could create a dangerous loophole here where it would be easy to manufacture under the guise of legitimate bakery desserts but would be just a simple step for a backyard chemist to transform into a dangerous _sugary drink_. A popsicle is even worse! Power goes out on your freezer and all of a sudden IRS agents are kicking down your door. No, that's just too dangerous. Best to tax all sugar, solid and liquid.

People may accuse us of going overboard but really we're perfectly justified in taxing people's choices where they have a societal cost e.g., on the healthcare system. Participation in dangerous sports naturally will be taxed next. Sunbathing certainly, but also getting too little sun. Not eating enough fiber should be taxed right out of existence. Sitting down too much we need to eliminate. Flying or driving anywhere for non-essential or recreational purposes is right out. Not having enough friends can impact mental health, so if you can't provide documented evidence of having at least 10 friends your income tax should be raised by a % for each. Recreational boating and swimming outdoors are statistically quite dangerous, we could just ban those completely, nobody _needs_ to drive a boat or jetski around.

I'm starting to have visions of the utopia...

You start with an outline.

You bolt literate programming onto it.

Then you tell your code blocks they can send input and output to each other via text in the document. Now you've got an excruciatingly well documented multi-language pipeline.

Then you get the source data for all your analyses in real time from [wherever they came from].

Then you render it _beautifully_ with your dependency graph documentation generated from graphviz (which graph data was newly inferred on this very run).

My first org-mode killer app, years and years ago was a monthly billing collection and analysis for a backup system I was running. The first pass took me a week to figure out how to collect and analyze. A few iterations later it was literally open the org-mode document and tell it "Do the thing". All my intermediate work was shown, everything was clear and open to inspection, and beautifully typeset. And I could generate it as HTML if they wanted it in a web page. (at the time they wanted PDF).

This is one of the ways org-mode is great. There are others. :)
