I'm sure that's true - I don't disagree with you. Though I would maintain politicians have a distinctly high-handed approach to dealing with such matters, and are often highly dismissive of collateral damage from their grand schemes.

Yes it is complex, for non software engineers.

Other professions use different version control systems more adpated to their needs (for instance large files...).
Honestly, that’s just bullshit. Every language is more productive with fewer developers since communication does have an inherent cost. But there is no Silver bullets as per the famous article, no language provides not even 2fold increase in productivity over another managed one, let alone an order.

I actually use the latter one, since my income isn’t large enough to take a margin loan at e.g. InteractiveBrokers (they require 75k€ annual income) to participate in moves of Tesla.

Please don’t tell me about European derivatives like KnockOuts and Warrants. These are more expensive than a margin loan on FTX.

Fair enough.

I’m aware of her comments on Roe vs. Wade, I just didn’t think it was relevant. She was a liberal justice who was replaced with a conservative justice.

I’m curious what her stance would be if she was still on the court. Despite her comments, I don’t believe she would have overturned it.
This is not even the first time, if we look at the car industry. Possibly different wireless protocol, but same idea: proximity without (tight-enough) time-of-flight check. How has Tesla not learned the lesson?

I never really had a problem with FB, just the constant cringy posts made me leave!

> switching off the charger as soon as the battery gets charged 100%.

Batteries have a limited amount of charge/discharge cycles - if you are doing this you're unnecessarily wasting those. Keeping the device plugged in once charged is absolutely fine - the battery itself will stop charging and the power will be used only to power the device itself so it doesn't have to touch the battery anymore.

This stupid advice has been going around for ages and if it ever applied it definitely doesn't apply now - all modern lithium batteries use charging circuitry that stop charging beyond a certain point regardless of whether it's plugged in or not - if they didn't you'd be seeing battery fires everywhere.
Super interesting site
Isn’t twitter running on Scala with Graal nowadays?
I see. The issue with this line of argument is that the gold standard is not good for several of the things we want currencies to do, including the ability to control their supply. It might seem like simply debasing gold coins as you say, but it's not quite. We just went through two very weird years in which the economy went sideways, but we had no massive unemployment, no bread lines and no revolutions. There is a price for it, both in inflation and in unequal access to benefits, with richer people and companies having access to very cheap money. But it's a trade-off either way, not simply theft as you imply.
I don't think I ever said that passing this law was correct or that governments were free from bias. I just questioned whether it was a good idea to let markets make decisions and expect them to be optimal, or whether optimising for competitive advantage is inherently good.
So these "adults in the room" are high and mighty about makeup of boardrooms but they refuse to build more housing? If hoarding is the metaphor, seems like that's the more apt interpretation. The average woman in California is much more affected by rent than access to board positions.
> The whole point is that it wouldn't be possible.

Why so?

Life needs energy, we can harness energy better to produce engineered food and desalt water.
> 0.33kW of instantaneous power, enough to briefly sustain around 750 homes

Is this the correct unit? That can barely support my fridge. Megawatt would perhaps suffice, but only for homes that really use little energy. Not PC and TV time I guess. Average consumption is perhaps in that ballpark.

Still, such a system probably need less maintenance than pumps. Some suggested to pump water into a mountain and slowly elevate it to decrease the area and volume of water needed. But again it would seriously depend on the pumps. And capping a mountain is probably not too easy either.
New Java is pretty damn good actually, I don't see a real need for Go over it other than compile time perhaps.
Imagine not being able to single out fasting and doing it without getting yourself into a religion. What other things can you not single out and need to delegate the thinking to religion for I wonder?
I'd implement two mitigation features ASAP:

1. Disable the ability to unlock the car if the phone has been stationary for a while. No more siphoning authentication from a phone in the night stand.

2a. Setup phone presence inside the car as a second authentication factor for starting the car. BMWs can detect if the key is inside or outside the car; I imagine the same positioning can be detected out of a bluetooth+wifi+nfc radio source.

2b. If phone positioning would require extra hardware, an alternative is using phone NFC as authentication (I think the keycard is NFC, so the hardware should be present)
> I've never understood car makers obsession with proximity unlock.

Presumably because the feature is well liked. I rarely every use the buttons on my keyfob but always use proximity lock/unlock because it's just much more convenient in practice.
> If I'm giving someone a blood transfusion because their kidneys are failing and they'll die within minutes/hours if I stop, is it murder to disconnect us?

No, similar to how it's not murder to disconnect somebody in a coma from life support or other extraordinary medical means. If the person dies, it's from their loss of blood, not from you refusing/failing to give them your blood.

I admit I didn't watch more than 60 seconds here and there of the video; it's almost 40 minutes long and it's late here.

Hm, I should have added "any longer" to clarify: "Abortion definitely takes away any possibility of living any longer from another person".

Organ donation is extraordinary; pregnancy is the most ordinary thing in the world.
How would you know, without the "expensive" densitometry scan?

My anecdotal experience: I lost weight via alternate day fasting and did indeed shell out the 120 euro that two scans cost me. I lost mainly fat, my lean body mass after 6 months was down 4 pct, within error range I'd assume. I worked out normally through the entire period and even did things like a 200km bike trip during a 72hr fast. (I did a few of those to compensate for not fasting on holidays). Great experience, never felt better tbh.

One thing I think I learned was the exact threshold of power that allowed me to keep burning fat. Its hard to describe the feeling but after doing this for months (over a year by now) I think I know exactly when I can still push and continue on fat, and when I need to slow down to prevent lbm loss. Doing sprints, short intervals etc. would likely cause me to break proteins in the body and indeed be counterproductive - but here more research is probably needed, and individuals will likely have different thresholds.
Bulky, kitsch and no very appealing to me. For some reasons these photos are heavily used in scam ads and fraudulent internet shops.

I loved TLDP and it was key for me coming up in Linux. I'd say the closest thing now is the Arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/) . On Arch the user chooses really everything after the package manager, so you'll find good, clear doco on whatever combination of tools your distro uses.

If you're looking for help with package managers, you're stuck with the distro's own documentation. :)
>Europe and Canada have far more talent at far cheaper price right now.

Depends, it's not just about the employees salaries. Some EU countries have pretty high taxes and high worker's rights so big tech actively avoids them.

> So yeah, both capitalism and communism can fail and prosper, depending on the implementation, but none of the systems is inherently better.

The problem is that we actually have evidence against this tested theory. Whenever communism has been implemented on a large scale it has failed. Countries like the USSR and Mao’s China implemented communism and it resulted in the deaths of tens of millions of people. Whereas today we have a variety of capitalist economies ranging from today’s prosperous China which has a mix of capitalism and a dictatorship, to places like Sweden or the United Kingdom.

Capitalism is a better system based on the experimental evidence that we have, at a minimum. And that does not even include arguments appealing to human nature and the inability of a government to manage prices or human desires.

> 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, ...

Communism never stopped these things either. The reason is that these issues are government failures.
I don't see the goals stated anywhere. I see solutions, but they have implied assumptions with an agenda. And how do you evaluate a particular solution against the alternatives without any goals or metrics?

I can definitely get behind some of the solutions they propose! But it is important to give a truthful rationale for these. Otherwise this is a slippery slope, like lying to your children about medicine because they will get better if they take it.

I stand by my assertion that the methodology they picked ("pick a subset of civilization, make a prediction as if everything was it") is fallacious. Imagine a sustainable, closed-loop civilization, satisfying all the goals you can dream of. It is inevitable that not every part of the system will be balanced when looked at in isolation. If you are allowed to cherry-pick a subset of that civilization and scale it arbitrarily, you are guaranteed to arrive at the same unreasonable conclusion as they give us.

To make it less abstract, let us consider nature itself. There are siberian tigers which eat 9 kg of food a day. This is a lot! If every animal were to eat that much, all animals would quickly starve. Clearly, nature is not sustainable!
I'd advise against buying any kind of charger, battery, or frankly anything that you'd be leaving plugged in unattended on Amazon.
Men get routinely ignored, disrespected and misdiagnosed as well. The doctor-patient relationship is adversarial (when facing someone you don't already know), what matters is not what they choose to give you, it's what you can take from them. This is why people who are more assertive and confident will generally do better, as well as people who come in groups.
You can not professionally bet on black. What you think of as professional gamblers is probably something like poker that has nothing to do with a high risk/reward investment/speculation.
Anyway you try really hard to not understand what I said so if you insist that high risk/reward means it must be gambling and the risk to loose everything must so much higher than winning anything then you simply dont know of any good opportunity. Might be side effect of dismissing everything at first sight. Either way I wont reply any further.
Long ago I deleted my Facebook and Reddit, I have an Instagram account with just a few close people and barely use it, I recently switched to using Twitter in "reply-only mode" (i.e. I don't post anything other than a reply to something someone posted and, in general, that's work-related only).
It absolutely is! Locking can be implicit -- the assumption should be that the user wants things secure.

But imagine working for a company that is very excited about their AI firewall, that intelligently OPENS ports based on a machine learning algorithm.

"No! That's a terrible idea!" You exclaim, pulling out tufts of hair. "That has more security holes than a slice of swiss cheese!"

"Yeah, but all our focus groups really liked the feature, and when customers hear AI and algorithms they're more likely to buy... Come on, you'd have to basically have a PhD to exploit an algorithm...."
Maybe social media gives you a much more concentrated feed of things that can trigger your inferiority complex, compared to normal, real-life social interactions?

More likely it just isn't true. Markets respond quite aggressively to even a small change in the bottom line. Often companies are quite happy to ignore the law, common sense or basic decency to achieve a bit more profit.

If they aren't lining up women for the boards voluntarily, it is because nobody with money thinks there is a benefit from doing so. The effect is probably just the so-called Berkson's paradox [0] and will likely disappear if hiring teams start seeking out female candidates.

I suppose the problem is that in the abortion debate the pro life side believes the unborn fetus is being forced to live (or rather not live) according to another belief system. It's a matter of perspective I guess.
Not putting “blatantly obvious” things in the disclosure documents is WORSE than omitting obscure things. The market for Nvidia stock is not made up of the same people who buy their graphics cards. Maybe even almost no crossover. The prospectus regime for public companies is there to protect ordinary investors who do not know this stuff. The overall effect is to increase the “smartness of money” by avoiding people investing who do not know this basic stuff. And yes there is a robust regime for investors to sue for defrauding them in this fashion.
How hard disks get slower as they fill up
I see you say you can't get used to it on a Quest 2, so the natural progression would be to a higher pixel count headset like Pimax offerings or similar. But even then, who is to say you can get used to that after you're 1-2k invested? I don't think the jump to VR working is directly compatible with say, going from a single 19" 1080p monitor to a 2 x 32" 4k monitors in that sense. First you have to adjust to sitting with screens strapped to your face for 8-12 hours per day.

The biggest factor to me for long periods in VR is comfort, in which case I prefer using the Rift S because to me it's so ridiculously comfortable, even after trying many Quest 2 halo headbands.

Another option might be the Reverb G2 for fidelity but I can't speak for it's comfort!

> But in principle I agree. If you have a wallet set up and are used to using it, it's pretty quick and easy,

Once you've overcome all the hurdles it's quick and easy isn't exactly encouraging. I'm not going to claim that it's easy to open a bank account/get a debit card, but they're pretty close to required in the western world these days so people have already overcome that hrudle.

> and the money settles faster than ACH in the US which take at least a day if not 3-5

This is a US problem that can be solved by regulation, not a technical problem. SEPA transfers clear in seconds in the EU. If you're using a payment network like Visa or Mastercard, you don't need to wait for processing (which can be 5-10 days), you only need authorization which is normally in the order of seconds. There is an element of trust here for sure, but you're trusting your Merchant Provider, and if you don't trust them to pay you you need another Merchant Provider _anyway_.

> Setting up Stripe is something you can only do with approval from the authorities, though, so e.g. sex workers can't use it.

Coinbase requires you to go through a KYC too, meaning it's unlikely that a person who is currently unable to use an existing Merchant provider will be able to use any of the larger exchanges.
That's kind of the whole point: social media presents you with a highlight of the smooth ride scenarios in people's lives (and even those, made to appear even fancier with all kinds of tricks and cutting out of "behind the scenes" context).

And rationally being aware of this doesn't help either: you still get the raw first experience at an emotional level.

Safety is not always the utmost priority. At least, not that kind of safety. It seems people forget this concept from time to time.

> templates instead of undebuggable macros

This is if you use complex macros, which is not always the case. I've been doing embedded for 20 years and I rarely (very rarely) find problems with macros.

But you know what's undebuggable on embedded? Complex inheritance, which sooner or later you'll hit with OOP.

For a system in which you don't have a screen, or logs, or any kind of output, that is usually not in your table, and you have to study failures by telling someone to look at an LED, or by guessing what could have gone wrong, you have to keep your system simple.

Add templates to the mix and good luck opening the project six months later, when a customer calls with a problem.

Edit: But again, used with caution, C++ can be used in embedded, at least the way I use it, as explained before.
All of these famines are exeprienced in communist countries, but not caused by communism. IIRC those were mostly direct or indirect consequences of wars and economic sanctions that capitalist countries lead against communist countries.

Compare that with the following famines that were both experienced and caused by capitalism:

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Famine_(Ireland)

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Famine_in_India

If you look at the full list of famines, you'll find the difference between capitalism and communism astonishing:

Not only that, their test was conducted at a paltry distance of 25 meters between authentication device and vehicle - only barely outside the normal range of the device.

However more recent research finds a positive effect if the number of woman is higher ( they do not report an effect size though):

It's important to set this clear because most of HN commenters seems to be under impression those sanctions actually had intended effect.
