Things like a storage battery - we already have a battery shortage with not enough to power electric car manufacturing.

Or melting aluminum or other ors - this doesn't work because the load is extremely fickle. You have to be able to turn on/off easily and frequently.

other things can certainly come along and compete for the power. Its not like bitcoin mining isn't price bound. It always seeks the cheapest energy regardless of location

Big surprise. I'm a man, living in the UK, and I would never stop to watch kids playing in a school like this if I was on my own. But I am pretty surprised they would treat a woman in this way. Is that bad of me? Is it bad that I'm slightly glad that they would treat women equally, in this way? I dunno, the whole thing seems ridiculous though.
> It took 15 years of the internet to have Facebook. It took 27 years (!!) of the internet to have something like TikTok.

That's an amazingly ridiculous statement. There's been bulletin boards and chat on the Internet about as long as it has existed. All manner of utility has existed on the Internet since the beginning. Neither Facebook nor TikTok were required for the Internet to be useful.

The best uses for cryptocurrency are speculation and crime. Even the speculation requires some amount of criminality because speculators only get a payout if more rubes "invest".

It's not clear who your product is for. "Everyone" is the wrong answer, BTW. If you try to make everyone happy, you usually end up making no one happy. It's super important to focus on actual user problems.

1. Is this solving a pain point the user has already?

2. Do they currently have some less-than-great solution in place?

3. Are they willing to pay for something which will solve their problem?

Looking at your product, I see a possible market, but it might need to be tuned (UX and/or marketing) to be successful.

A relative of mine needs 24/7 in-home care. There are a number of people involved and a decent number of Dr appointments etc to coordinate. The people involved with elder care are super low tech, but in her case, a shared visible calendar could be useful.

In general, the products for seniors and/or people with dementia or other disabilities tend to have horrible design and still aren't really suited to physical/cognitive challenges of the users and their caregivers. It's a niche, but one that could use a lot of developments.
It's not uncommon for companies to "clear house" right before close of acquisitions, especially on exec level. However I don't believe it's for the reasons you mentioned (saving money). Instead it's likely to better align with new ownership (whether perceived or actual alignment) and ensure the company is well positioned for the change.

An established/relatively healthy org like Twitter will likely not be penny pinching at the risk of more fallout/attrition. In fact, I'm sure the convo went something like "if you leave now, you will keep xyz/golden parachute".

This has at least been my experience based on limited experience of being part of a few acquisitions and working closely with execs.

Kea 3 introduction and getting started
The myth of the Philosopher's Stone is not widely known outside the UK. Without correct context the title is dead boring and doesn't sound like it has anything to do with magic.

Imagine picking up a book called "John Smith and the Architect's Compass" and having someone tell you the title makes sense because there is a legend about an ancient cult who guards a a device that can locate the holy grail.
I did break:

- original Kindle (once I put it into a bag in the original cover, and the display was broken when put out of the bag. I never found out what caused the display damage);

- tablet display (OLED one, ouch, slipped on ceramic tile);

- a LCD monitor (the stand was loose, I didn't expect it, gravity did the rest).

- I've had a phone slipped out of the hand onto asphalt in the parking lot, but it ended with a bump in the frame (Nexus S, it was age of plastic phones), the display was untouched.

So not sure whether it can be explained by lifestyle ;)
Twitter absolutely does moderate content. If you say something that the algo interprets as being a suggestion to commit suicide, you'll get an instante 24-hour ban. A tonne of really awful toxic accounts are soft-blocked and their tweets get stuck in the "more replies" box.

And if you're overtly and explicitly racist or sexist, there's a good chance you'll get straight-up banned.
You can grow plants in a can of steel bb’s, ground up gummy bears, sand, shredded beer cans, etc….

HN madlibs:

I'm in the camp that thinks we're headed in a perpendicular direction and won't ever achieve powered flight with current efforts based on the simple idea that the basic tooling is wrong from first principles. I mean, most of the "progress" in flight has been due to getting better and learning how to understand a single piece of technology: fixed wing aircraft.

A lot of recent powered flight findings have shown that real birds _don't_ just use fixed wings; in fact, they flap their wings! Until we start thinking from the ground up how to build and engineer systems that reflect the bird wing, we're essentially wandering around in the dark with perhaps only a piece of what we _think_ is needed for powered flight. (I'm not saying the bird wing is the best engineered thing for powered flight either, but I'm saying it's one of the best examples we have to model powered flight after and that notion has largely been ignored)

I generally think it's hubris to spit in the face of 4 billion years of evolution thinking that some crafty fixed wing aircraft with X number more wingspan and horsepower will emerge magically as truly capable of powered flight - it will be a strange abomination at best.

to be slightly less piquant:

A) Machine learning hasn't been focused on simple neural nets for quite some time.

B) There's no reason to believe that the organizational patterns that produce one general intelligence are the only ones capable of doing that. In fact it's almost certainly not the case.

By slowly iterating and using the best work and discarding the rest, we're essentially hyper-evolving our technology in the same way that natural selection does. It seems inevitable that we'll arrive at least at a convergent evolution of general intelligence, in a tiny fraction of the time it took on the first go-around!
Oh, so important context was left out. Standard argument technique.
Ask HN: How can I help the scientific community?
I have a computer science / math education. I love creating software and I'm quite skilled at it. But, I'm also very interested in physics and astronomy, and I greatly admire the people who push those fields forward. I want to write tools for scientists in my free time, but I don't know what they need. How do I find out?
It's so trivial to fire young people and keep them out of court. Not if they're stupid, I wasn't stupid, more if they don't know the magic words. So in my case a lobotomist deleted all kinds of magic words--well "lobotomy" for one. The intention is to fuck all employees over at least one time. Then they get told the magic word and don't get fucked again (except in my case, I need to get fucked twice to learn the magic word twice, at least so far, knock on wood I only have to learn all the magic words twice).[2]

Similar to college students, same thing, we're talking about harm to youngest adults, the 18-22 age category and ongoing if you get cheated out of your career. Those kids. So I tell college students that if they live on campus they're homeless unless they have a second place to live when they get evicted, which can happen at moment's notice with no accountability[1]. So practically every college student is homeless and might end up on the street unless they suck up to the numerous people around them that have them by the balls.

Obviously they're homeless if they have no idea where they'll sleep that night!

So Stanford in practice has a gigantic homeless population, everyone on campus is homeless, no tenant rights. It looks like it has a small homeless population but really it has a similarly small non-homeless population.

[1] Did I say no accountability? Let me read this shit I wrote. Yeah, it says no accountability. Surely I fucked up saying that, oh no! Famous last words then. There's no accountability! I've been waiting for my trial since Friday, February 6, 2009, well I guess that trial could be called into order on Monday, or on Wednesday, maybe I'm speaking too soon and it's in the pipeline. The dean of freshman verbally swore I'd get a trial, as a guarantee after telling her I had to drop out without one. She gave me girl scout cookies in that meeting, surely it wasn't a lie if she gave me cookies!

Any day now. Older adults always say to be patient and humble. Saying so is an act of impatience and arrogance on their behalf, it's arrogant to call people arrogant, asking for patience is impatient. Just like it's selfish to accuse others of selfishness. To the extent I'm a fucking arrogant guy, and I am (slave of GOD, the last shall be the first), I'm not also giving self-serving advice too.

[2] Oh a new memory came back, at 17:24 May 12, "vicious cycle." A magic word came back to me as I wrote this! Maybe it's a vicious cycle and I'll be getting cheated, told the magic word, lobotomized, and repeat, forever!
Turns out it doesn't matter if the currency is trustless if you still have to trust your counterparty anyhow. In fact it's worse in most cases, since you can't seek recourse from trusted financial intermediaries (chargeback, etc).

For 99.9% of daily cash-equivalent transactions it is significantly clunkier than the new "FinTech" solutions: Venmo, CashApp, Zelle, etc. For purchases, credit cards generally actually offer a kickback so it's not even a contest.

El Salvador gave everyone $30 of free bitcoin. What happened afterward speaks volumes.
Good point. This gets us into the territory of not just "explainable" models, but also the ability to feed into those models "states" in a deterministic way. This is a merger of statistical and symbolic methods in my mind -- and no way for us to achieve this today.
Well, ironic that that "useless" and "broken" system is the only or the fastest way for many use cases.

Perhaps you can try to understand the actual problems that it's solving.
As someone who only knows Python, this gives me existential angst. Like some other people have pointed out, I think the GIL is secret sauce to Python's success. I would be vary of the religious fervor behind taking the GIL to the gallows.

It's hard to put to words what the GIL does for Python. I think the best I can do is to point to Rust and ask you to consider what Rust's number one claim to fame is? A more than significant part of Rust's bible ("the book") is about memory ownership. Python's GIL lets me be completely ignorant of these issues and all my brain cells just focus on the problem at hand.

My long term livelihood and sanity is at stake here and I really appreciate that some of core maintainers of Python are taking their time and thinking deeply about the implications of removing the GIL.

Python with the big bad GIL has become the most popular language in recent years. And it's gotten there slowly and steadily over 20 years. The most popular language just so happens to be the only (?) language that is single threaded.

> Now you see rarely kids on the streets because they risk being hit by cars or kidnapped.

"Stranger" kidnappings are exceedingly rare. The majority of Amber Alerts occur due to custodial disputes between divorced parents when one parent takes the kid when they are not supposed to[1].

> Children (and parents) are often conditioned to be wary of strangers. However, in reality, only a small fraction of child abduction cases – around 0.1 percent – involve kidnappings by strangers or slight acquaintances.

> The problem with redistribution is that it cannot overcome an artificial cap on supply.

Yes it can.

Tax the unimproved value of the land, not the people who live and work there. "Redistribute" the wealth generated by the people who work in the city to the people who work in the city, not to the landlords and property owners. Make it pointless to sit and hoard property while you wait for other people to make it more valuable.

Suddenly, the incentives are better aligned.

While the framework of differentiation between intranational and international interests fits, it is certainly not "for the good of the people" in this case. Orban antagonized the EU because it was unlikely that he would be punished for it. This is textbook right wing populism: make an enemy out of some group that is unlikely to hit back and you can appear strong. This is often done against minorities but the EU is perfect for it as it is powerful enough to actually look like a threat but has no means to punish small "violations".
Russia has a functional ABM system. They have S400 systems all around the country at important installations and cities. They are being replaced with S500 systems. These systems are interconnected.

It doesn't matter if they can actually win a nuclear war or not. If they believe they can, they might start one.

They are already using nukes in a war today. By threatening to use their nukes, they are making use of them.

Perhaps the definition of nuclear war should be expanded to include such uses.

I think the greater reason for hesitating to accept Ukraine up until now would be their still-unstable democracy and high level of corruption.

When the war is over, it may be that the new-found unity caused by the external threat will be enough for them to reinforce their institutions significantly. This could reach a point that could ensure lasting democracy while enabling them to properly fight/eliminate most corruption. At that point, combined with a peace treaty with Russia, they should be able to Join.

Occasionally something close to a concept car gets to production.

I had a Subaru SVX that looked like this one: https://bringatrailer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/2003_su...

That car was designed by ItalDesign in Italy, a firm famous for many iconic sports and concept car designs. In the OP you see quite a few examples of their work. The inset windows are something of a signature of theirs, as it allows the upper roof area to be more sloped.

Anyhow, it was a pretty striking car to drive around. Unfortunately the US version was only ever sold with a mushy and failure prone transmission. So despite having a rather nice 230 HP flat six engine, a wide stance, and a suspension that would be quite sporting when stiffened up, it never really ate into the low end BMW or Porsche market it was targeted at.
We prepare for it by domesticating its lesser forms in practice and searching for ways to increase our own intelligence.

エアリス (earisu) is not how Japanese speakers would pronounce "Earth". That would be アース (aasu), which sounds quite different. And you may be aware, but "Aeris" is not the preferred rendering today, which is "Aerith".

>by ceding the properties to someone who will actually rent out the units, or buy it and actually live there.

Unfortunately, the vacancies I am describing are unavoidable, because people do not rent apartments forever and empty apartments cannot instantly be leased.

And pay the vacancy tax themselves? They'd be in the same position as the previous owners.
