No. No, you can not. You can't even do it while you don't suck at design. You actually need to be really good at web design to create great looking websites.

Great design is hard. If you have seen a cool, simple design and thought "well, that's easy, it's just a bunch of text, a few lines and one primary color" and tried to copy it, you know how hard. Everything matters and you have no clue why it does. Or how. Sure, you can just do the 1-to-1 copy and there's frameworks to allow for exactly that-- but that is when you get a bootstrap-material-tailwind look and while that's fine and ticks some boxes, most people would probably agree that that does not feel like great design.

Design is hard hard every time anew, because more so than with code, it requires something different every time (whereas good code, in my opinion, should strife to be as boring and repetitive as you can get away with, and if it's all tried, tested and recycled more power to you)

Let's not buy into the bait and don't get deterred either. I am all for enabling the maximum amount of people to do cool shit, but it would be great if we could in the process not berate that which we aspire to accomplish by lying to ourselves. You don't need to be a great designer to create something cool. Go ahead and create. But if you want great design, you actually need to get great at design.

Fortunately, you can just start by doing shitty design and take it from there.
Currencies did a lot of centralizing on their own. One currency is much more useful to its owner than 500.

Ain't nobody want to spend time converting from the 500 down into one so they can buy an expensive widget that only accepts a specific currency
It would not need to cede any authority. The Texas grid already has interconnects with the East, West, and Mexico grids at four different interconnections, and imports/exports electricity through them continuously, while still having its own regulatory authority. The person you are replying to is suggesting to increase the capacity of these interconnects.

There was/is a plan to create a large hub for sharing up to 30 GW of electricity between the East, West, and Texas grids, but unfortunately it was scaled back significantly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tres_Amigas_SuperStation
And this is precisely why I decided to bite the bullet and install solar + 2 Powerwall batteries for backup.

No longer need to worry about the clowns in office since clearly they have not learned from the February 2021 debacle.
Legalizing imports would break, or at least put strong pressure on, such a monopoly.
People who get really mad at ERCOT, please also look into the roles that the Public Utility Commission and the Railroad Commission play in the Texas energy market. ERCOT has some responsibility, but it seems to me that they are mainly the scapegoat.
I don't eat particularly healthy, and I don't exercise much, yet I'm perpetually borderline underweight.

Why does the math not matter for me, while the next person watches every calorie, goes on long walks, and yet struggles to lose any weight?
Whenever I see "see, regulation is bad" it's always seems to be framing the answer as getting rid of all regulations rather than making them less onerous and more effective.
I'll say this about discriminatory environments: Most people in the group in power are unaware of the discrimination, to a degree that would have shocked me until I learned better.

The key is to talk to the people who have the actual experience. Think of the absurdity of a bunch of men talking to each other about the experiences of women - like people in Quebec talking about how life is in Tijuana. If you want to sell something in Tijuana or Quebec, you'd ask the people that live there and listen to them, not talk among yourselves about it. If you did otherwise - if your market study for Tijuana was conducted among people in your Quebec office, your boss would fire you.
Both Simon and Binet objected to misuse of their work, but they never doubted that it had use and actually measured something. But, who wouldn't object to the misuse of their own work.

You do understand how the special education system works, right? They specifically place kids in the programs because those kids need the resources. It is not rare at all. Because we explicitly do it. In nearly every school district in America, you will find teachers who are specifically there to service special education children.
It does if the baby starves otherwise.
I like how several of the examples really rely on art to create interest, and possibly as the source for their color palettes as well, and yet there is no discussion of this. No discussion of where to find stock art, no discussion of where to find someone to do custom art, no discussion of the pros and cons of stock vs custom art.
My understanding is also that homes in Texas generally also have substandard insulation because they come from an era where it was feasible to just open a window and get a breeze going.

This came into play a year and a half ago when we had severe cold, one of the exacerbating factors was - those homes weren't well-insulated, so they had to use way more energy for heat than a properly-insulated home would have.

Texas is basically a fractal of aggressive and deliberate fuckups all the way down, because ain't no ivory-tower elitist going to tell ME how to build my house/grid/power plant!
“Now when I got to Hollywood, I was discouraged with animation. I didn’t think I’d ever do another animated thing. I said, I think I’m getting in it too late. Felix the Cat was going then, [and] other things, and I just said, it’s too late. I should have been in the business six years before.”

Went to Athens last month and saw the mechanism (a replica) in person in one of the museums. Overall, for me it was a strange experience looking at the ancient Greek civilization - these people were not thinking about simple things like sustenance or other basic needs. They were very much involved in improving their minds in any way possible - democracy, arts, science. All that time they spent on improving their civilization in every way got me thinking of all the time we lose today in meaningless stuff like social media, or looking selfishly at the world and other people.
Yes. That's an example of discrimination that society has mostly concluded to be constructive.
I was frankly alarmed something like half of kids qualify for WIC.

Don't get me wrong, feed em, but why is child poverty so bad in the US ?

When I learnt about how the Texas grid was a disconnected electrical island I thought maybe there is now a market to charge transport-trailer sized batteries out of state, drive them into Texas and drain them into the grid.
Because the next person enjoys eating more than us?
There's a filter on reddit that is a "1hour/top" that basically shows content that's quickly upvoted.

I've watched this tab for many years because it strikes the right balance between new and interesting content.

During the trump election. Everyday there were multiple posts to the sub getting upvoted and this went on for months.

Also, multiple people analyzed the content voting for that subreddit and it significantly deviated from every other major subreddit.

I get you're trying to claim "there's no way to be statistically certain" but the evidence in the Mueller report and elsewhere makes it clear, internet propaganda is a real problem and is documented.
We need dramatic supply-side improvements to get our way out of this inflationary spiral.

We need to unleash America's entrepreneurs to create more stuff to soak up this excess money. More housing. Lots more housing. More products with fewer roadblocks to bring products to market. The fact that it took over a year for American masks to come to market, just in time for them to not be needed, in large part because of regulation is a sign of how bad things have gotten here.

We need more energy too -- wind, solar, nuclear, and yes fossil fuels too. (Our current policy of begging Saudi Arabia to provide us more oil, when we have plenty in our own backyard makes zero strategic sense. Not to mention how high fuel prices are enriching our adversaries like Russia.)
Taking regulated payments subject to financial law as a Russian hacker group is quite difficult. Bitcoin is used in nearly all ransomware attacks precisely because it is unregulated. The idea that they’d just take PayPal without Bitcoin is laughable.
Don't know what you and your team did but the problem is resolved for me , I am able to visit the site that I got stuck at "checking your browser" loop previously. I thank anyone still support older browsers.
And since real reform would likely require regime change, activists outraged over the latest problem (train derailment, buildings not meeting earthquake code due to fraud, etc) go to jail for disrupting social harmony.
Try it and see. Maybe!
Someone finally wrote this article. So refreshing. It's obvious when you live with a fat person why they have trouble losing weight, even when they're on a diet: they're usually not actually following it. Whether they don't understand portion sizes for calorie math, or look at calories at all, or eat things that they say "do not count", there is almost always a failure to understand what and how much they are eating.

I don't see sources. ERCOT's sites show plenty of reserve.
I've not experienced any power issues.

It sounds like someone is not telling the truth.
Providing zero-interest loans to improve efficiency and reduce demand (e.g., rooftop solar) seems like a net win: homeowners can lower their operating costs and utilities can minimize peak demand.
"The new group, called My Friends My Data Coalition (MFMD) [https://myfriendsmydata.org/], is a group of start-up founders working to push tech giants to adopt a new industry-wide standard that would allow users to transfer their followings from one app to another, thereby creating more competition between platforms."

Are they using existing federation protocols? There are no google results for mfmd federation. "Transfer" is ambiguous, but understandable in an article not written for techies...
Who underestimates the wisdom of the ancients?
I think you know the answer to that question, but are trying to make a point, which is IMO very valid. I don't care if you call it genetics or luck or just who you are, but people have different bodies and tend to default to different sizes. This idea of "one diet fits all" does not work. You need to do what is and feels right to your body.
I'm not sure which situation you are asking about, but generally if you are not earning money and can't afford health care, you should qualify for social security and that covers healthcare, rent, basic needs. In general it's mandatory to have health insurance and changes in employment status don't affect your insurance status. Though it's possible to end up uninsured when you are unable/unwilling to pay, but also do not apply for social security payments (however I believe that's more an active choice than a real risk).

As a student for example it's mandatory to get insurance to be enrolled in university. Cost for students that are no longer covered by parents (above age 24 iirc) is close to 100€ per month.
Prometheus' own docs say that distributed evaluation is "deemed infeasible".
I personally don't care about specific content if it's authentic.

The problem is when a forum becomes a synthetic medium for shills.
The contest is happening ATM.

If you haven’t watched it already, I suggest you to go watch Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga[0] , a brilliant comedy movie that captures the Eurovision’s spirit very well. They also speak the truth about the voting: Nobody likes UK, so zero points :)

Jokes aside, Eurovision is a cringy but at the same time euphorically positive event, fetching 200M viewers worldwide every year.

Even Australia is now in the contest(didn’t make it to the finals but I think they should have made it, there are worse songs that did).

correction: Apparently Australia is in the finals! As they deserve.

I'd initially misread this, thinking it was an article on how a lot of websites that look pretty can be surprisingly horribly unusable.
Yes, but the most calories consuming activity we do is just living.

Your body spends calories to digest food and get more calories. Your brain needs around 400 daily calories. If you want to burn 400 calories doing some cardio, you'll need an intensive 30 min session or so.

If you don't fix your eating, the effort you'll have to put into exercising will be huge, sometimes even unachievable.

> Many Christians abhorred the new system, because the New Year’s Day, which had until then been celebrated on 25th March, had to be moved to 1st January.

The old new year has left traces. It's why the Canadian, the British, and, of course, the Indian government, has a fiscal year that starts in April.

UST was intended to be a dollar-pegged stablecoin. The failure of its dollar peg was certainly a failure of technology, because a "dollar-pegged" coin that is not actually pegged to the dollar is not a "working" system.
Kansan here, agreed. My family likes to keep the temperature in the house around 70... To me that's even a bit cold. And that's without ceiling fans (nearly no moving air).
VCs do not market to peasants. When a VC emphasizes "team" - that is a specific euphemism for "not peasant". But if they said that outright they would be cancelled.
This rhetoric only makes sense if you’re reviewing every update of uBlock your device receives. My concern is: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31380528
dahart, you are absolutely owning this thread!

Thank you for providing measured, balanced, and considered explanations, expansions, and clarifications.

First rate.
"Freedom" is one of those words that can mean just about whatever you want it to. From Orwell's Politics and the English Language:

> Meaningless words. In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning[2]. Words like romantic, plastic, values, human, dead, sentimental, natural, vitality, as used in art criticism, are strictly meaningless, in the sense that they not only do not point to any discoverable object, but are hardly even expected to do so by the reader. When one critic writes, ‘The outstanding feature of Mr. X’s work is its living quality’, while another writes, ‘The immediately striking thing about Mr. X’s work is its peculiar deadness’, the reader accepts this as a simple difference of opinion. If words like black and white were involved, instead of the jargon words dead and living, he would see at once that language was being used in an improper way. Many political words are similarly abused. The word Fascism has now no meaning except in so far as it signifies ‘something not desirable’. *The words democracy, socialism, freedom, patriotic, realistic, justice, have each of them several different meanings which cannot be reconciled with one another. In the case of a word like democracy, not only is there no agreed definition, but the attempt to make one is resisted from all sides. It is almost universally felt that when we call a country democratic we are praising it: consequently the defenders of every kind of régime claim that it is a democracy, and fear that they might have to stop using that word if it were tied down to any one meaning. Words of this kind are often used in a consciously dishonest way. That is, the person who uses them has his own private definition, but allows his hearer to think he means something quite different. Statements like Marshal Pétain was a true patriot, The Soviet press is the freest in the world, The Catholic Church is opposed to persecution, are almost always made with intent to deceive. Other words used in variable meanings, in most cases more or less dishonestly, are: class, totalitarian, science, progressive, reactionary, bourgeois, equality.*

It's not the feature that excites me, it's the pace of Java language improvements. The 6-month cycle of versions, the whole process of letting experimental features in for a couple versions to test, refine, and likely accept, it's all really working, you know? We're getting stuff that's been so long desired, and it's happening quickly enough to be exciting but not so fast that we're overwhelmed and things are breaking.

People often say that Java 8 was the big important update to the language (streams, lambdas, java.time, and more), but I think Java 9, which began this process was the true rebirth of the language.
Perhaps, but it’s not specific to any one ideology or creed. It means someone who simply accepts #CurrentThing with little thought or criticism, of which there are many.
> As a counterpoint, an outsize proportion of mass media is produced by relatively-not-poor people who live in cities, many of whom are transplants. As such, that is the dominant perspective.

Yes, I agree that many perspectives are omitted.

> mass media does not understand or address the richness of life in cities (or anywhere else).

It captures the suburbs pretty well, IMHO.
The most potent critiques of libertarian thought often rest their case on the world as it is, not as the libertarians imagine it to be.

Isn't that equally true for critiques of progressive thought?
What exactly was the point of introducing Indus Valley Civilization in the beginning of the text if author was going to explain everything in context of Vedic System? Vedic System or Vedas was not created/written by Indus Valley people. It was written by Aryans who brought Prakrit/Sanskrit language and spoken Vedas with them to Indian region. This is the current stand of most of the Indic historians. The script (supposedly) used by Indus Valley people has not even been deciphered, so deducing knowledge from texts supposedly written in that script is close to impossible currently.

Eating healthy doesn't mean not gaining weight and not eating healthy doesn't mean gaining it.
Because you don't eat enough to gain weight. And the other person eats too much to lose weight.
This is what happens when you effectively try and outlaw laughter. People like to laugh, and if you start to define almost everything funny as unacceptable to your politics, you end up ceding it to your opponents.
This gets overlooked a lot in the outrage porn of "Texas bad".

Every single adjacent grid to Texas was also suffering from rolling or consistent blackouts during last year's February winter storm. Oklahoma had blackouts, Arkansas had blackouts, Missouri had blackouts, Louisiana had blackouts.

https://kansasreflector.com/2021/07/26/fuel-shortages-drove-...

The blackouts were not as bad as Texas and had they been on the same grid, it may have been able to spread (and lessen) the pain a little bit, but the point stands that Texas' neighbors did not have much electricity to spare.

This month is a little different because other states do have spare electricity AFAIK, but the links Texas has to those grids have relatively low capacity to share it.
The "special treatment" includes:

1. Antidiscrimination policies preventing trans people from being evicted from their home, fired, etc, for being trans.

2. The elimination of policies that prevent or seriously limit access to medical treatment recommended by professional physicians.

3. Basic politeness from peers and colleagues, who should use a trans person's preferred pronouns and name.

None of these things are achieved. Federal antidiscrimination laws have not been passed. States like Texas consider medical treatment to be child abuse. And people regularly deliberately misgender trans people in school and at the workplace.
Is it really regulation? Anecdotally this appears to be a knowledge/capability problem. We haven't grown domestic industry in so long that I honestly don't think many still know how to actually build.

If you give money to businesses that for the last 50 years have simply become experts at dealing with international supply chains... You’re probably just going to have the money sent abroad.
There’s a contradiction in your analysis: you have no idea what will happen, yet make decisions guided by empirical analysis. You’re literally making a bet that the future is likely to behave in patterns according to the empirical analysis. How is that not a form of timing?

I think the confusion arises when we split hairs, that timing is predicting explicit events, or on a short time scale. But I want to zoom out: making decisions based on large scale patterns and trends, including “the s&p always goes up over a long time”, or “the future tends to behave like the past”, (things that are absolutely not guaranteed to happen, and require belief and betting), is a form of timing.
its exhausting to do that. Im switching my diet up a little to bit to reduce cholesterol and some liver enzyme thing lately and Im starting to get tired of thinking so much before every meal and shopping trip. wish it was easier to not fall in to unhealthy traps. so many labels, and so much meal planning.
I only have evidence from fire investigations I've done. I found some devices (like quadcopters) that just have a USB 5v input and a diode drop to the lithium battery. Since many USB supplies are 5.5 volts, they'll certainly catch fire pretty quick.

I also found hoverboards that have an 8s battery pack, just hooked straight to a constant voltage power supply, with no balancing circuit or charge current limiting, so some cells will end up overcharged and emit gas. There's also no protection against charging after overdischarge, which will also usually end up with a fire.
And android is actually getting worse, too, not better. And Firefox is slowly knee capping the freedom (presumably because they're all Apple users haha)

Its why it's important for folks like yourself who are pro-Apple to push for Apple to open up. That way we can have the best of both worlds (if you believe the marketing, like it would appear you do). I'll use the most open device at the end of the day.
No, if you want to actually understand the radical feminist position on this (and other topics), read the works of radical feminists, not furious ranting blog posts.

I'd recommend these books to start off with - two classics, for the historical perspective, and two more recent ones, that discuss the modern transactivist movement that's so controversial right now:

* Janice Raymond, The Transsexual Empire: The Making of the She-Male

* Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts: A Feminist Analysis of the Politics of Transgenderism

* Julie Bindel, Feminism for Women: The Real Route To Liberation

* Kara Dansky, The Abolition of Sex
I think that if you're going to make such a strong statement you should back it up with data. Are you really convinced there is some misterious thing at play that keeps your weight down? Then actually record everything you eat in a week and what physical activity you do and see if your perception matches reality
