It's actually 64 RUB per USD, Tinkoff bank sells for 67 for example. Compare to 78 pre-war. This week Central Bank lifted another restrictions and you can get up to $50k out of the country. I think unfortunately Americans drank Biden's lying kool-aid of "devastating sanctions" and happily looked away prematurely.
How many years after the Norway legislation did it take to measure the outcome? Can you cite any definitive studies on that? (other than https://www.economist.com/business/2018/02/17/ten-years-on-f... "Ten years on from Norway’s quota for women on corporate boards: Gender quotas at board level in Europe have done little to boost corporate performance or to help women lower down")

As to the California state law 2018/SB826 ('Women on Boards'), IIRC part of the reason the state acted was out of frustration that federal legislation on this topic had not happened despite years of discussion.
>This kind of sounds to me like he's decided he doesn't want to buy and is creating a reason not to.

You can offer to buy a house knowing full well there are going to be problems which will show up in the surveyor's report. You can then adjust your offer accordingly. This offer will likely reflect what you were willing to pay all along.

A low initial offer would be rejected since, at that point, the problems were not public knowledge. Now they are public knowledge, accepting a revised low offer may be the only option left?

I've mentioned this story elsewhere but it's still relevant...

Year's ago I had a few twitter accounts that I was holding purely for the handle/name. I never followed anyone or tweeted anything, they were dormant accounts and I rarely logged in.

After a couple of years these accounts were following random celebrities, rock bands and public figures. It seemed obvious at the time that twitter were using dormant accounts to bolster follower numbers and I expect this has been happening on a huge scale for years.

So, bots aside, twitter's numbers are the stuff of dreams and fairy tales.
> War is very expensive.

Unless you're referring to the obvious horrific cost to human lives, war isn't "expensive" in any real sense in terms of national finance. War is profitable: any money "spent" goes somewhere. Many wars have lifted countries from recession.

The only slight argument one could make for the expense of war is military consumption of fossil fuels (but we're already talking about control of that resource, so that's self-fulfilling).

For what it's worth, my take on it is that you should extract whatever bits of pure functions you can find in the 1000-line ones.

This would help testing and understanding. You can test and understand the parts independently, and only have to test the huge function in order to check that the parts are attached correctly.

Despite what so many others are going to say, yes, it's social media.

It aggregates great things that others are doing along with other posts designed to elicit extreme emotions and feeds them to you with an algorithm designed to encourage engagement. (I had originally written "maximize", but HN's algorithm does at least try to prevent flamewars.)
Less kids in industrialized nations will never matter though, as the missing people will be imported. If eco-anti-natalism were really justified they would be anti-immigration.

We instead need to get sustainable holistically and need technological advancements and policy changes. It doesn't matter much if we are 6 or 8 billion (currently) or 11 billion (UN forecast for 2100) people on the planet if the smaller number already overshoots resources x-times.
Maybe you’re lucky to not be plagued by inferiority complex and/or impostor syndrome.
I agree law could certainly use good version control designed for it. But advertising git to be it seems more likely having hammer and every problem being nail.

Git is decent tool for code. But for many other problems there could be much better tools developed. That could include such things as reviews and comments and different organisation of information, also consistent linking to specific sections in other parts of storage. And by reviews and comments I mean something permanent that is also stored in version control. Not something ephemeral like average code review tool.
Get it, then I think disagreement runs deeper than I thought. As a sibling comment mentioned, I believe that markets are meant to serve humans, not the other way around.

Edit: typo
I feel they were already obsolete.
Missed that. Sorry.
But people do use version control. On Windows you have access to Shadow Copies and on Mac you have Timemachine.

Excel is binary, because its compressed XML. Not a good fit for Git.
The punishment should be proportional with the sales for cryptomining which they lied about. Investors can be seriously affected by this.

It seems like the subtext of the way this has gone over the last few months is that they tried to develop a process to migrate users in a Workspace to individual consumer Google accounts, but it turned out to be too difficult to do losslessly, and so now they have thrown in the towel and recommitted to free Workspaces having a future.

This sounds like you don't actually live here. I'm not a native in Norway, and what you describe isn't what I see at all.

Is there a small part of the population that is against it? Sure, and there probably always will be. There is also a small population of xenophobes and racists, but they definitely aren't the majority.

I've actually heard quite a few women opine that they start out suspicious of women in powerful positions these days, because they know directly how easy it is to get there on the back of feminism, but they need competent services in that moment and not a job.

Just to fill you in, people are suspicious of people in powerful positions. Right now, folks that agree with you blame feminism. Previously, they'd say it was obvious that she sexed her way to the top. I'd not take any of this seriously.

It's not in the slightest bit possible. Ukraine has not offered a vote, it would not conduct a vote and Ukraines constitution prohibits such a vote.

You cannot respect democracy and want crimea returned to Ukraine.

Perhaps, but then why blame social media and not these disorders?
Not sure about Ruby, but Java’s streams would do one loop only here, as they are lazy. Also, both solutions are O(n), so unless this is the hot loop of your program, or it iterates over some insane amount of entities, it is a completely meaningless microoptimization.

Very cool site. While the disparity is pretty obvious in things like kitchens, it's also interesting to see just how similar most of us live when going through the categories of e.g. worship, applying make up, pets, etc.
Random thought

I once went under for surgery and during that time I did not experience time. I didn't dream. I think that is what death is like. In which case I hope mine is painless. Still sucks but if we don't get consciousness transfer to machines figured out (roam space as some Neuman satellite) then yeah... Just an inevitability and unfortunately I don't seem to have a genuine drive/perhaps mental capacity to figure it out (not a math person).

Couldn't you just give people money and avoid the part where you set part of the economic output on fire?

I think the fact that wars can be economically beneficial is a blazing indictment of our economic competency.
Let's do the similar exercise about the main competitor, capitalism:

1. Capitalism cannot work since it inevitably leads to concentration of capital and monopolies, which hinders competition and causes extreme income and wealth inequality.

2. The same zero sum game applies to capitalism, since people still compete for wealth and status.

3. Historically looking, capitalism and its ever expanding nature lead to colonialism, endless imperial wars and conflicts, resource grab wars and conflicts, debt slavery, people dying of famine although there was no global food shortage, climate destruction, ...

So yeah, both capitalism and communism can fail and prosper, depending on the implementation, but none of the systems is inherently better.
No, YJIT is separate to this, as the article says. This is about the new garbage collection effort, a new option for a JIT, and making interpreters faster.
Upvoted because this made me laugh, but I do think focusing on "inter-" being bidirectional is splitting hairs here. I'd say most relevant examples of "external resource dependence" in this conversation thread will be asymmetrical.
> I actually very much dislike labels such as "the right" and "the left"

I do as well, because they conflate too many unrelated things together, and it's impossible to pin down something as amorphous as "the [direction]".

> the "pro-life" movement as in the political movement that is trying to overturn Roe are very much exactly how I portray them above

So are you against this "movement" or the position? I'm in the pro-life movement and I don't support the death penalty.

> Name any prominent figure in the pro-life movement who also strongly opposes the death penalty.

Oh, I'm not prominent though.

Archbishop Gomez, president of the USCCB and board member of the National Catholic Bioethics Center, is pro-life and against the death penalty.

> The issue is that the debate is not about convincing the fundamentalists, they can not be convinced

I referred to "people who hold positions that are at least internally consistent", and then you started talking about fundamentalism? What does it mean to be "fundamentalist"? It sounds like it's one whose "belief trumps rational arguments". Those people are the worst. I don't think that they're the same people as who I was referring to, though.

Anyway, I think we both agree on the nit I was trying to pick initially which is that broad labels aren't generally helpful to anybody trying to reach the truth, but they sure do get used a lot in our modern discourse.
The problem with Araxis Merge is you have to pay for upgrades. Sure you don't "have to", but eventually it stops working for some reason and/or you get new machine, cant find the license key, and it's awkward so you end up having to buy a new one.

I've used it for more than 15 years, and bought it 3-4 times. I honestly don't believe it's worth that, and I'm not going to buy it again. I would be willing to pay what they ask for a years license, to actually own it in perpetuity, only receiving updates when OS changes stop it functioning. As they won't offer that, I no longer use it.

Bitcoin (or crytos, more generally) require:

- Abundant power

- Hightech personal electronics

- Electronics manufacturing

- Global and reliable networking

- Education to understand it all

Remove any one of those, and i think it wont work. Now there are different kinds
of apocalypses, here are some thoughts:

- It's a fair bet that electronics cannot be really manufactured in any kind
of scale, and most current consumer electronics are not especially long lived.
Give a decade, and most people will not have the gear to run Bitcoin.

- If you have Abundant power, i would use it grow potatoes in greenhouses,
or similar, not for crypto mining.

- How would the global networking, or even local, survive the apocalypse? Given
that is needed for the blockchain to sync, it seems it will stop working
more-or less immediately, or worse, fork.

- Which brings me to, how would people agree on which blockchain, or fork of bitcoin to use?

- And most of all, if modern education systems fail also, how would anybody understand any of this anyway?

On the other hand, everybody understands potatoes. Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew. Now that is the currency of the apocalypse!

Where do you get that? You can actually buy dollars in Moscow from banks. Everything is mostly back to normal or even better (retail banks sell dollars cheaper than pre-war levels). There was a brief panic and tight controls in anticipation of more severe sanctions but they never came.
I know you really want it to be top down patronizing politicians doing this kind of thing all on their own, but there are actually millions of Californians who agree this is a good idea. In my metaphor, those are the adults in the room.
The thing to realize is that all the "fairness logic" is made up after the fact, to rationalize the whole endeavour, and sell it to the population at large. Women want to do what men are doing, they want to be there in every vaguely high-status space, always on the scene. That's it. If a load of men get driven out of some place as a result, that's of comparatively little import.
The timezone issue is as much of a problem as you make it. The difference between the east coast and the UK is 5 hours - the difference between East and West coast is 3 hours. Both of those are very roughly in the ballpark of "half a workday overlapping".
I for myself have just started the first lecture to see where it will lead. I believe there is a lot to be gained not only for the website but as psychological/conflict resolving background. Recommend reading the examples: One mentioned a familiar conflict and gave some new ideas.
As far as I can tell, your argument is:
1. There is no evidence that women on boards yield better outcomes
2. Even if they led to better outcomes, it's wrong to act on it.
3. Markets are efficient and therefore don't allow for discrimination

Re: 1, I don't know
Re: 2, I believe that there is a place for affirmative action, especially in places like the boardroom where physical aspects of gender differences have no meaning.
Re: 3, There's plenty of evidence showing places where markets are discriminatory in preference to being efficient: https://danluu.com/bad-decisions/
Social status and the satisfaction (or lack thereof) derived from it are relative. This has been studied and hammered on again and again, not to mention the entirety of human history (and tons of lucrative rackets) attest to it.

And being "the lord of your destiny" is already not applicable to most people, except in an abstract, meaningless sense that a person can always decide for themselves. That doesn't mean they can wish reality away. (E.g. "Yeah, I have $200K in student debt, no job prospects after looking for 10 months, and my spouse got sick, but I can do whatever I decide").
I don't think the point is to describe a probable future where everyone lives like the Dutch. The whole point is that it wouldn't be possible.

It's just an easy to understand illustration of how our current civilization is largely resting on unsustainable foundations. Finding solutions to the engineering and societal challenges that you mention seems to be the goal of the project.

It's an interesting point in the language design space. Composing unrelated projects gives a rapidly increasing state space of interactions which noone is directly responsible for. I can't decide if that's brilliant or broken by design.
If these people think they're the only ones with problems and other people's lives are problem-free, well that's the issue. Not even the most accomplished person has a smooth ride.
This article gives a really interesting overview of the facts: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-05-13/elon-m...

Basically, legally Musk is already past this point -- he signed a contract promising to buy Twitter without doing any real investigation. I've felt for a while he's looking for ways to squirm back out, but he legally can't (unless he simply can't raise the funds at all, that's what the $1 billion "exit fee" you may have heard about is).

Of course it's possible Elon will simply ignore the law, as in practice the rich can often simply ignore laws they don't like with limited consequences.
You're wrong for objective reasons. People try to immigrate to the capitalist democracies at very high rates. The same is not true of communist states, which historically had to build actual walls to keep people in.

You can try to blow off actual, concrete performance in metrics everyone agrees on like "do people actually want to live in a place", life expectancies or things like food/medicine quality, but you will still be wrong by the mass collective judgement of many billions of people over a period of a century or more. Claiming otherwise is like claiming 2 + 2 = 0. There are no such things as walls around capitalist democracies to stop citizens from fleeing.
Just want to say, I wonder if people like him are rare. (Seems obvious) as in a genetic chance vs. learned, I mean this one of those types of people with a thought process that's just beyond/extreme/where did that come from. Anyway I'm glad it trickles down/benefits the rest hopefully.
I am extremely frustrated by these kinds of degrowth narratives, as they usually come out of a genuine concern for the environment - but all their approaches to solutions are extremely economically illiterate.

Interdependence of resources was the primary reason the EEC (later forming the EU) was created.

The idea was to make the idea of going to war unthinkable because we relied on each other, and it's quite easily to calculate the deficit in deaths in Europe after that.

There are statistics saying it was extremely effective; Even when you account for Russian conflict against the Chechen's and the Serbian/Albanian conflict in Kosovo..

My barber shop thrived during lockdown and they said all their barber friends thrived as well and they all wanted lockdowns to continue as long as possible, because they got money from the government and at the same time received lots of enquiries from customers to cut their hair (illegally) in their gardens. My barber said he's made more money than ever in his life because people paid so much more and tipped him extra for coming to their houses whilst still getting government money.

I on the other hand was one of the few idiots who didn't go on furlough and then used my furlough money to holiday in Spain and instead was working throughout the entire pandemic like an idiot and now I have to pay more taxes for all the expensive COVID-19 measures which I believe until today we should have never done and let nature filter an overpopulated planet like it's meant to be.
