I'm trying to explain how I see the situation from Finland and I don't see anything in Chomsky that would help to understand this situation.

I'm happy we are joining NATO. I'm mostly sure I was not brainwashed into it by media. I just knew intuitively the second Russian tanks crossed Ukrainian border NATO would be the best option in Finland. I can't prove it but I'm guessing lots of finns felt the same. And it was this collective feeling that spread out through the population spontaneously.

There are very few books beyond physics and mathematics with universal truths. And even those need savvy application to real world problems. Problem with chomskyism is that it sees everything through the lense of chomskyism which filters out everything else. It's like a high pass filter attuned to the detection of US human rights violations.

Finnish consent was not manufactured. It was caused by the explicit invasion of Ukraine.

As a people that has always bordered Russia and has been invaded by Russia for centuries we are quite sensitive to things affecting our relationship with it.

You feel it in your bones the weather has changed.
All the recent bubbles like stocks, .COM and real estate were/are massive transfers of wealth. And it’s always from the people who have a little to the people who have a lot already.

Such vague and objective measures shouldn't be in law. I started to drive around Montana's unposted "reasonable and prudent" speed limit came back and was later deemed unconstitutional because "reasonable and prudent" was too subjective for an individual to know when or not they are in compliance.
yeah; to get a sense of how big 2^256 is: assuming you can increment a counter at 1PHz rate, it would take 91 million years to iterate over 2^256 values.
I don't know why, but as a new parent SIDS scares me more than almost anything else. We follow all the recommended best practices - back sleeping, no bumpers, no lose blankets, no co-sleeping, etc. Intellectually, I know that if you follow the recommendations the risk of SIDS is lower than the risk of your infant dying in a car accident, and yet driving with him in the car does not worry me. But I worry about SIDS to the point that I find that I sometimes startle awake and need to check the bassinet to make sure everything is okay. Hopefully, research like this can lead to a way to screen babies for risk and come up with some sort of treatment option. So parents like me can have more peace of mind.
I have close friends in Germany who worked on multiple degrees for years without progress. While I personally don't see that as ideal life choices and they would agree, it actually came at very little cost for the university. The reason they took so long is because they were hardly studying. This also means not submitting homework, usually not coming to lectures and taking up space there and more often than not, not even attending the exam, so there was nothing to grade either. In the case of my friends, it turned out the degrees they focused on initially weren't right for them in the end. But they were able to realize that on their own time and settle for something that suits them better and despite that aren't stuck with crippling debt.
The problem with the original statement is the phrase "more instantly meaningful". It might be correct if it said "more meaningful", but I doubt it's more `instantly` meaningful for someone who can read numbers quickly.
Easy for a weak currency to buy a worthless one.

"SIDS is a catchall term that refers to an unexplained death" and "SIDS doesn't exist" would seem to really mean the same thing.
Not just within range, connected to. Meaning you're close enough to have a strong signal. If it isn't a strong signal this can be detected and the system could scan in that case, looking for a better one.
Extreme disagree. The United States does not have a party that represents the interests of working people, and has done almost nothing to stem the consolidation of corporate power for decades.

It’s not even a close contest. There’s literally not a labor party here.
An opportunistic scapegoating by the banks, maybe. There's quite a lot of astroturfing about crypto (for and against these days). I'd expect a couple decades of conspiracy theories about their role at the very least.

But Bitcoin was created as a response to the banks failures in 2008, so maybe they're trying to get ahead of that message returning this time around.

Anyone work in PR for mortgage companies? What kinda position are you taking right now?
Thanks for the correction. You're right, current scientific thinking is that the sun is not capable of going "supernova".
Switzerland is so much more heavily controlled than the US, which is part of what leads to that outcome. Most Americans would flip out if anyone told them what weekend to plant their flower box or that they aren't allowed to hoard ammo for their guns at home.
Boris Johnson, PM of the UK famously said, "fuck business" He's now presiding over a country about to slide into recession and 10% inflation. I think discontent with the Tories are near to flash point too, rioting in the summer is predicted.
> Other people are switching to bitcoin because it is better money than their local currency.

USD, EUR, GBP and CHF are less volatile. The countries that manage them all have good credit ratings. Compare to BTC which has lost >55% of its value in the last 6 months. And you're calling that a currency?

Using safe fiat, or even gold, would be the "boring" solution because it doesn't go up in value much. If anything, it slowly loses value, but nothing among those 4 beats the >55% / 6mo drop of BTC.

If you're concerned about inflation, a finance expert might give you a "boring" lecture on how to counter it.

Maybe there should be a guide to the "boring" solutions to the problem that crypto supposedly solves in an "exciting" and (for now) lucrative way.
Fun fact which is strangely on point for this thread: Dave Mccormack, the voice of Dad on Bluey, was previously known for his band Custard. One of their most popular songs was "I feel like Ringo". Ringo Starr was famously the narrator of Thomas the Tank Engine.
My 2016 OnePlus is running android 11 thanks to LineageOS. Afaik that should mean another year of security updates now that the ancient kernel (probably) makes newer android versions impossible.

Another thought: Are you seriously equating pregnancy to a monthly period? Surely you see the difference between these two things.
That is, by just putting a clock on each corner and counting their relative ticks.
I personally came to the conclusion that when I save/curate/buy things I am “interested i “, I:

- Have in mind a person I might become once I read and do the things I saved for later.

- I think this thing I just saved or want to consume is profound and new.

What it really is:

- Nothing is changing who I am.

- The book or website or blog post or Podcast episode is actually not that profound and mind bending but just a random person with 5k hours more experience in the field then I have, but still doesn’t know what’s going on.

- Everything is more of the same. The TV show is slighlty different but still is nothing completely new, the blog post about technology A is more of the same then the others years ago.

Mind bending, interesting stuff is created rarely and without much hype and found not really easily online. Nothing easily stored, bookmarked or downloaded is changing you, your environment or your life in a profound way.

But when I scroll through HN, Twitter etc and save an interesting article, my brain goes: “That’s it, that’s the content which finally explains why I feel this way and opens new possibilities and changes my day-to-day life”
I suppose the same axioms of every ape that's ever existed (and really the only axioms that exist). My personal survival, my comfort, my safety, accumulation of resources to survive the lean times (even if there are no lean times), stimulation of my personal interests, and the same for my immediate 'tribe'. Since I have a slightly more developed cerebral cortex I can abstract that 'tribe' to include more than 10 or 12 people, which judging by your post you can too. And fortunate for us, because that little abstraction let us get past smashing each other with rocks, mostly.

I think the only difference between our outlooks is I don't think there's any reason that my 'tribe' shouldn't include non-biological intelligence. Why not shift your priorities to the expansion of general intelligence?
Whoops I just noticed a copy-paste error I did, which might be the reason for what you describe in case you copied my code above

3rd last line the "window.sandgrid[belowLeft] == 1" needs to be "this.isEmpty(belowLeft)" instead

Other than that I'm not sure what would be causing the weird behaviour. I use this and it seems to work just fine.
There's a third option, which is that Parag is doing what he things is in the best interests if the company under the circumstances.

Because regardless if whether the acquisition falls through or not, this whole thing has underscored the need for changes at Twitter. The top two execs may need to go in order to move forward no matter what.

Your options are reasonable guesses as well, just not the only two possibilities.

> I notice you don't comment on my info on Zelensky and the Panama papers. Isn't that newsworthy? Is that not a lie by omission?

This has nothing to do with the original point of this thread, which I'll repeat is that Eva Bartlett cannot be trusted as a source of credible information:

> Bartlett describes herself as an "independent writer and rights activist."[3] She writes commentary pieces for RT's website.Critics contend that her advocacy amounts to participation in a disinformation campaign whereby the aim is to lessen the responsibility of the Assad regime for the acts of indiscriminate killing during the war.

> In late 2016, Bartlett gained controversy over a video that went viral, in which said that Syrians "overwhelmingly support" Bashar al-Assad, as evidenced by the results of the 2014 election.[13][14] The election was seen as illegitimate by a number of countries and international organizations,[15][16][17] while Russia has endorsed Assad's mandate. Further, she has characterized the White Helmets as being part of a Western propaganda campaign, alleging that rescues by that organization are hoaxes whereby they "recycle" the same children in footage of staged rescues,[13][14][18] and that "no one in eastern Aleppo has heard of [the White Helmets]".[13] In the same video, Bartlett falsely claimed that the al-Quds Hospital bombing in April 2016, where 55 died, never occurred, saying it was rebel propaganda.[4][19] Bartlett's claims were amplified by Russian-controlled outlets such as RT, Sputnik News and In The Now.[20][13] The claims were found to be false by Channel 4 News and Snopes.[1][3][4][5] The broader "same girl" internet meme has been categorized as a derivation of the "crisis actor" conspiracy theories

Why are you still running 12.0.1?
I don't think there is a correlation between being allowed to run around without supervision and deaths of children. For example, if you build dangerous roads everywhere and lots of kids die in car accidents, maybe something could be done about the roads, not the free roaming kids.

> What was Twitter doing in June-ish 2018

I think your timeline is off, wouldn't executive hires have a much longer timeline from inception to close such that the "event" predicating their hires could have been 5 years, 6 years out?
Further, a vacancy tax creates a risk that if too much housing gets build I end up holding the bag. So it creates some amount of disincentive to build or own housing. Just think about owning an apartment building in Detroit in 2008. Everyone moves away. Now I have no tenants and get punished by a tax. I'm already paying a mortgage or opportunity cost for not having my wealth in another form.
My first contribution to a Rust codebase was <https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/commit/da2934fcc2ed2a4ae2...>. It is adding the -fminimize-whitespace flag to the preprocessor command when available (New in Clang 14, <https://releases.llvm.org/14.0.0/tools/clang/docs/ReleaseNot...>). The equivalent ccache patch is still pending <https://github.com/ccache/ccache/pull/815>.

When using the disk cache, ccache is still faster on cache hits due to also checking the hash of all input files (called a manifest) before even executing the preprocessor. It also can just clone/hardlink the file in the cache instead of copying it.
generally curious, what are some examples of disgusting things legal under US law (I'm not a content moderator)?
Glamor? Sure. Practicality? Eh. Maybe for daily commuting. When the IC companies convert over, Tesla shareholders are going to feel a ton of pain. The novelty will have worn off and the company will still pace at a mere fraction of its competitors. And at the very least, they'll all have vastly better QC than Tesla.

There are often regulations requiring you give users notice before making these changes. So beginning yesterday would provide 30 days notice (1 full month) allowing people time to react, respond, etc.

This seems reasonable on its own, but then you can add a compound index and forget to join on a second part, or refactor a column in two and only collect one value into aggregation. This spotted babysitting is just stupid. If you’re anxious about query integrity, get some tooling and check your sqls/ddls against some higher-level schema.

Even if that turns out to be a constant source of trouble worth not having, then why SQL can’t provide columnsets at least, so that queries could include, group or join on these predefined sets of columns instead of repeating tens of columns and/or expressions and/or aggregations many times across a single query. You had employees.bio_set=(name, dob), now you add `edu` to it and it just works everywhere, because you think in sets rather than in specific columns. Even group by bio_set works. Heck, I bet most of ORMs partially exist only to generate SQL, because it’s sometimes unbearable as is.
On what basis do you doubt it?
Most electric cars are cheaper to own from day one
Nissan was selling the Leaf after the Roadster but before the S/X/3/Y.

The Leaf and the 3 basically met in the middle at the same time at about the $45K price point for similar cars.

Tesla was only first in the category of outrageously expensive cars for virtue-signalling rich people who fake-care about evironmentalism. And fake self-driving.
First 2 months I was up most nights coding the night away, with my twin baby girls asleep on my lap against my torso. I'd just check they were breathing all the time. Though it was probably overkill I can't think of that time as anything else than one of the best moments of my life.
Your shares did well in of the biggest untinerrupted market bull runs in history????
True, but is that precision worth the hit to latency... especially if you're trying to do a voice and/or video call? I doubt it's worth the tradeoff most of the time.
And you could certainly make the same argument about airliners, which have a death rate <10% that of trains (and <1% that of cars).

But if you try to make that argument on HN, a bunch of people will yell at you about how Boeing and the FAA are evil for putting cost savings over safety.
I really don’t like this attitude of men being anywhere around teenagers or children is creepy.

I know a then 14-year-old guy from a game store where I’d played D&D with his mom for two years. I was 30~32 at the time.

Some people I know thought it was creepy as hell I went with his mom to see a high-school play he was in. His acting wasn’t great but we all had fun.

I don’t get it. I really don’t. The people I was with and quite a few of my friends didn’t understand that reaction either.

Plenty of teenagers need a good father figure or mentor.
Thanks for the recommendation. I've added it (along with the rest of her oevre) to my "to read" pile.

What a horrible statement to make. Women are no longer the star > they get depressed > kill their babies … ?
1984 is about the effects of permanent ongoing war between fractionalized states; and the implication is that ongoing war produces totalitarianism.

He didn't set out to show totalitarianism was bad, because that was self evident in 1948.
> How come it could do $%^& to any part of yours?

Because just implementing the standard stuff nearly did my $^&% nut. Also I know about graphs & posets, and it's potentially a little more complex than it seems. The variables

select x * x as y, 1 as x

is meh, but what about

select
(select tbl.z from tbl where tbl.y = y) as subq,
x * yy as y,
xx + 1 as x,
subq + yy as zzz
from (
select xx, yy
from ... )

I just don't fancy supporting that.
fwiw, Windows does have an API (called uxtheme, I believe) that you can use to draw native widgets.
I had a roommate who was really into these conspiracies. I brought up the LLR and his response was that he believes NASA sent rovers and satellites and other automated missions to the moon, but doesn't believe we landed men on the moon. So he said the LLR was placed there by one of those missions as part of the hoax.
Extremely unlikely, as uMatrix doesn't do any direct systems programming.
This is really noticeable with video chat. I never use Bluetooth when talking with my family... between the Texas - Australia lag and the Bluetooth headphones - Android phone lag, it's enough to impair conversation.

Now the problem is just how to manage all the cables that come from having a gaming PC and work laptop that use the same keyboard and monitor. I have a KVM switch but I can't hide it under the desk if I want to press it.
Having witnessed kids learning time: they will happily give "15:39" as an answer. But if you ask them when it'll be 4 o'clock, they literally have no idea - not even of yhe direction (forward or back).

I think this is Adams' point: digital watches pretend to give you information but only give you data. That's a reason to consider them silly: they make you work (translating their data to something with meaning) while pretending to do the work for you.

Note: analogue watches also require interpretation. But they support coarse- as well as fine-grained interpretation: is it before or after a whole hour? Closer to half than to whole? Or to a quarter? 10 past or to? Etc.
The "left's" position is that both are free speech.

Free speech means that someone is allowed to engage in speech, not that they are immune from the social or market consequences for their speech.

The "left's" contention with Citizens United was that spending money was treated as speech. But spending money is not speech. It's an act. Speech is content.
CSI-u mode solves all of those problems and is supported by iTerm.

It doesn't pass command through, which I don't personally consider a problem since I want the command key to do things to my terminal (like opening new tabs) but ymmv on that one.
Twitter does have an unlimited leave policy.
I'm not entirely sure that that is the case and Germany was the primary reason for NATO forming. It surely was meant to hinder the spread of communism/Soviets.

And yes, a defense alliance can be flexible and change its objectives with the times, that's not counter to the point I was making. I'm not sure how to better express myself, I really think it is obvious that a defense alliance must be defending its members from _external_ threats.

If there is no possible threat (real or perceived, present or future) then no alliance is formed. That is the whole purpose, _the definition_ of a defense alliance.

I don't know how to express this notion with more clarity.
Does that actually work as a party conversation starter? I can’t imagine being at a party and choosing to engage with someone about a topic like that.
Owlet built a great business on it
I'm dumbfounded by this move by Apple as the iPod was one of the innovations which kicked Apple into the big league. There is also a large population of users who, for over a decade, have been using an iPod without a Mac or an iPhone and who rely on iTunes for Windows to manage their music. Not everyone can afford nearly £1000 for an iPhone, especially if the main reason is to provide continuity for their now deceased iPod experience. Then again Apple never gave a damn about obsolescence. When Big Sur was released I learned that my early 2013 MacBook Pro wasn't compatible yet only this week I was able to download a simple fix from OpenCore which enabled to me load Monterey and have it working perfectly. If one guy could pull this off why couldn't Apple with their resources? Truth is they wanted to make my MacBook Pro incompatible - by mere designation - just like they resisted the right to repair until forced to play ball. If Apple respected their loyal base of iPod users they could at least continue to produce replacement iPod batteries. That would be a minimal good-will gesture.

"Apple are infamous for taking someone else's idea, giving it a bit more polish, than marketing it as though they came up with it in the first place."

This made me laugh. I bought the first iphone - full cash price - no contract, no crap.

When I read this stuff you just realize how underestimated apple is and was.
So what?

It's still a business and it is tiny compared to the big players. Tesla is only a slightly better value than crypto given how insanely overvalued the stock is. If the company had an $80B market cap, it would still be vastly overvalued.
Wow, never heard of Vine (call me out of touch grumpy old man user persona!), but reading the wikipedia page, what is amazing it was aquired for less than one of today's early rounds - $30m. Maybe they were "too early"? Post pandemic things look a lot different.
