I am from a Muslim country. There are a few reasons that I can think of:
China is not targeting Islam but the separatist movement. There are few Muslim ethnic groups in China. The other is Hui. The hui enjoys normal religious life without any prosecutions.
The problem of Radical Islam. The rise of Radical Islam the last few years. Some of this group preaches violence and seperatism. Many Moslim feel unconfortable with the Radical Islam and prefer the govt to deal with them. The Hui Muslim does not get long well with Uighur Muslim. The Hui are motsly Sufi and anti Salafi.
Most Muslim distrust western politic and news.

Anyway for me I hope I can go to the park/do something none coding like a hardware project. TV/gaming. If none of the above binge eat and pass out (not great).
Is the '4-Hour Work Week' by Tim Ferriss Still Relevant?

There's something very pressing about moves that pares down the true sentimental value of some belonging. If the item survived multiple moves it either concentrated in value or waned in value and will soon have skeptical eyes glancing over its continued presence in one's life.

I can remember photographs or something being held onto that after the 3rd move I just said "it's not worth keeping this thing around" and so it went. But it first traveled through this diminishing trajectory that was interesting to observe this incremental detachment to the object like shedding a skin I had now outgrown.
Unfortunately this will be a 3-sigma recession. Once every 100 year type of thing. The last one lasted 10 years followed by a major world war.

If you want to look at what happened to advanced economies that got a taste of credit bubbles Japan is a very good example. 40 years later and still have not reached their ATH.

So if that dot com bubble lasted 2 years, this recession will last a lot longer.

In addition the door is closing on entry level junior SWE positions other than FANG. Many businesses do not want fresh grads or bootcamp coders. The tools have gotten so good that they have automated/replaced much of the grunt work. So it is down to experience.

Generation Z is utterly screwed and its sad because they live in the product of the world created by our generation and the previous.

We are witnessing the beginning of the end of small governments. The only path to stability is no longer the markets but a large government that struggles with growing wealth gap, aging population, healthcare.

As in the past, 3-sigma recession was always followed by a global armed conflict. George Soros talk at Davos confirmed this.
From a purely physical point of view, life's goal can be reduced to passing on information.
I mean, I could honestly see a ton of confusion along the lines of “isn’t this website already on the internet? what??”
Gordon notes that air passenger miles are effectively an inverse relation to costs. Lower costs -> more passengers.

Total passenger miles have been largely flat since 2000. Total departures actually fell during the aughts, along with jet fuel consumption. Some of that's due to more efficient flight booking (appropriately sized aircraft, higher seat utilisation), though a large share is decreased seat pitch, which is to say, far less comfortable travel.
> You do realize that the "sexual harrasment" allegation is that Musk asked for a handjob from a massage therapist who was already massaging him as he lay naked... and she declined and that was the end of it... right?

I am not sure why you put sexual harassment in quotes like that: having your boss, let alone the wealthiest man in the world, make unwanted sexual advances is basically a textbook case of sexual harassment.

> Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitutes sexual harassment when submission to or rejection of this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual's employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual's work performance or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment.

Plenty of people get massages and disrobe without sexually harassing their masseuse.
They can BUY products from Xinjiang, instead of boycott it, raising the living standard of the region and people will be better off, have more choices. They can open border to people from Xinjiang if they want to go for a short term solution. The evil of everything is poverty, nothing else. No religion, no politics. Thinking how America was the paradise for immigrants in the past, no one hates immigrants when economy is good.
This particular case does not seem to match the standard employment relationship as it seems to have been successfully demonstrated that Tesla had intentionally not informed her of their requirement for a forced arbitration contract until after she had accepted their offer and left her prior employer. That meant by the facts argued in this case the first time she became aware of the contract terms was after she was in a position were her ability to say no was negligible.

Now, I think that there are also issues in real law that relate to whether contract terms are actually fair. I think someone (LegalEagle maybe?) had a video on YouTube about it, but as I vaguely recall things you could freely sign a contract where you took on all the costs of a venture, and none of the profit, and then somehow argue that the contract was so unfair that it isn't valid. *I am super fuzzy on this one, it's very much "I was bored watching YT some day" recollection*

Now personally I think companies should not be able to force arbitration in general, because I agree with you as when we sign such agreements we don't really have a free choice about signing once you've got to new employee orientation day.

I also don't think that force arbitration should be enforceable for criminal actions - and as I understand it, sex (or any) discrimination is often a criminal matter? Forcing arbitration allows a company to hide its behaviour, and avoid monitoring and similar to correct the behaviour.
Rice’s theorem says no such thing. Rice’s theorem tells you you can’t necessarily prove you’ve built a flawless system, not that you can’t build a flawless system. You can build a perfect program even if you can’t necessarily then know you have.

Perhaps you interpreted my post to suggest that you could build a machine that verifies that any arbitrary software run on it never enters an invalid state? If so, I agree, that is not possible. I made a minor edit to make it clear what I’m talking about.
Yes, always go left (except if you start at 1) is a solution. It is dismissed by Lamport though because the function is not continuous in 1. Somehow he believes not beiing continuous violates some principles of physics.
> And, even if they did want them, this Great Intergenerational Dump is happening just as millennials are facing a housing crisis, which will leave many of them either renting or living in much smaller homes. Grandma’s massive china cabinet is not going to fit.

Seems like a weird comment given the possessions were already in a property in the first place, and the death of the parents will normally result in one of the children inheriting it too. Unless the parents were renting, in which case I doubt they had much space or money to accumulate too much stuff (this will more likely be my generations problem, since homeownership is soo far out of reach for most of us).
Good point. I’m putting aside the physical nature of the machine that must ultimately run the software. Made a minor edit so I’m talking about a “system” not a “machine”.
I think perhaps the middle space?
90's power tools? Any old battery tools?

I consider my petrol mower to be obsolete - but I can't justify replacing it with an electric/battery one when it functions fine.
I work very hard to avoid working with people who think like this.

And what determines the volume of carbon offsets Tesla receives from the government? Number of EVs they sell perhaps?

Sure, but vanilla setups should be trivial and optimised for cost. That is not to their or their consultants’ benefit.

I mean, whenever I asked someone ‘how do I do this in aws’, they tell me ‘oh that is a bog standard blah setup, very Simple’. So if that is simple, why is it so hard to set up as a novice (with 20 years of rack server bare metal hosting experience). I had to learn everything about aws in order to figure out that all experts saying things are ‘simple’ were still not providing optimal solutions for my vanille, and for decades unchanged across many different applications, hosting wishes. If you don’t know literally everything about aws and hired a consultant or a team to set it up, you are probably (massively) overpaying. And often, as I see at clients, for vanilla stuff that should be 1 click setup. But yes, I guess tool providers should provide this on top, not aws itself.
I imagine a lot of folks have lost toes to that foot gun.
Ask HN: How do I host static Slack history?
My employer was acquired and we're migrating off Slack, and the current blocker is that people want/need to retain searchability of our slack history.

I already have the export, a bunch of json files, but I'm feeling a bit lost and surprised there is no apparent solution to host the content somewhere private and easily searchable.
The DX is great until you think of using their rest api (not for machines) and the link Google gives you to their docs is a very very incomplete page with even the base url obselete and you're left browsing the forum to understand why your requests don't work ;)

The one they got away with, but is banned on YouTube: Hitler F*ing a Donkey.

The phrase is used a LOT in the skit because of course they're trying to explain why they're so frantic. What did they see in the barn? Hitler F*ing a Donkey! I saw Hitler F*ing a Donkey!!!

That was a catch phrase for some time after. But it might be lost to history thanks to censorship.

I think they left in the Chicken Lady origin story. It's not too different, and does explain why she keeps exploding when she gets excited.

They also had a lot of memorable song bits. Like "These are the Daves I know" and some really absurd spoken bits like "30 Helens Agree" that became part of the Canadian vernacular for a while.

It's not exactly like the American "bite-sized quote" but held a similar function.
You're largely right.

Early air travel externalised numerous costs, and those have been internalised.

"Big Sky" air traffic policy was proved nonviable over the Grand Canyon (1956) and Park Slope (1960).

Bombings and hijackings of the 1960s and 1970s lead to increased departure-gate screenings. Those increased further after 2001.

Noise complaints lead to use of quieter high-bypass turbofan engines (with their own MAX failure modes).

Increased fuel costs in the 1970s also prompted higher-efficiency engines (again, high-bypass turbofans serve this role), as well as curtailment or cancellation of planned commercial supersonic transports.

Gordon also discusses similar apparent retrograde trends in automobiles. Here again I see formerly externalised costs (emissions, safety, handling, noise) being internalised and included in purchase costs. Electrification is a similar trend.
ITAR, described in the link, is one thing. There is also the Wassenaar arrangement[1].

This kind of hoarding runs on my mother's side of the family. My mother's mother lived through the depression and saved _everything_. When she was put into a nursing home we had to get the house ready for sale and there was quite a flurry of junk to throw out.

My mother is a little bit better, but she definitely saves more stuff than necessary. Not to quite the scale of her mother, but it seems like a learned behavior.
As a privacy geek… good.
I'm not sure what the alternative should be. Unfortunately I am much better at recognising a bad system than providing the framework for a good system. Maybe this specific offender is now fit for society. However, my point is that by virtue of having served a sentence does not make him fir for society.
David Graeber made a similar observation in one of his talks [1]. I find it very interesting and pertinent to the current difficulties humanity is currently facing, especially with regards to climate change.

One the one hand, humanity is totally capable of destroying our planet. On the other, we've already reached, so it seems, the limits of whats is physically possible. Both problems made us abandon reality and instead embrace virtual reality, and virtual "space time".

Can I ride a Bike with an Omni-Wheel?
Just to be clear, I'm not suggesting that the authors are exaggerating or hiding anything. They seem to be making careful claims (and though I still have questions about the controls, this is well within the bounds of my own possible misunderstanding of the methods). I'm only pointing out the limits of what you can reasonably conclude from an experiment like this. Also, if laypeople look at the pictures of red cells and histograms and don't realize that "the infected half" are actually engineered to be susceptible, it's pretty easy to be misled.

The poster is/was out on a limb with the title and the suggestion that this means something for humans. At most, it's a hypothesis that remains to be validated. It also makes a claim that contradicts a bunch of other papers (i.e that neurons get infected), so you have to take it with a grain of salt.
In the 1980's I drove 3 times coast to coast North America, because it was so bicycle friendly. You never saw any other bicycles, except kids and fatties. So motorists were very careful.

There were no bloody bicycle lanes, so could you do any speed you want in the middle of the road. Compare this to Netherlands and Deutschland were bicycle lanes are narrow, bumpy and with pedestrians with dogs in leash. And the polize and motorist force you to use them no matter what.

I even found out that there are sections of the Interstate you can ride on a bicycle, when there is no other roads, like east of Palm Springs.

Only one problem: People were so unaccustomed to seeing bicycles on the road, that they tried to give me a ride.

And of course in Texas I was threatened with a guns because illegally sleeping on someones precious dirt. In sane countries "illegal threat" is an actual and most severe crime.
> Electric cars? Come on. They're barely even a change from a consumer perspective. Someone from 1950 wouldn't even notice the difference, unless you told them exactly what they were looking at.

Wut? I call major bullshit on this. Yes, obviously electric cars generally do the same thing as ICE cars, but the consumer experience is so much better for me is that after owning an electric car I will never, ever even consider owning an ICE car.

I mean, by your analogy, an ICE car is just an "incremental or marginal improvement" over a horse and buggy. Heck, I've got to feed my horse grass and clean up after its poop, and I've got to "feed" my ICE car gas and clean up after its oil leaks. What's the difference, right?
Yes, but seriously, the previous gens. hold onto a lot of junk.
Is it really so bad? The portability among machines is a great feature.
The question I posed may speak to how it may be possible to get these entities to move toward a more preferable world view.

A rich nerd needs more than criminal protection, BTW.

Just a few basics:

Without the machinery of society running well, wealth becomes quite burdensome. The nerd needs said wealth recognized, means to transact, enforce contracts, currency to trade with, and all that depends on courts and governments of some kind. And there is more. I just sort of stopped.

There will be value in the "ether", but it will also intersect real space and there is the relevance.

Talking about this is sort of like those free energy machine discussions where everyone excited about the machine potential forgets about the initial energy input and how entropy will bleed it away however slowly.

Wealthy nerds do not just appear and create in a vacuum. And no judgement on the idealized nerd being discussed. Could be a wealthy anyone!

A poor nerd needs the same protection as well as the means to do all the basic human stuff needed to exist and practice nerdery. (I laughed at that being a defined word)

In terms of being a nerd and creating ethereal value, it looks to me like assuming wealth just makes it considerably easier to ignore where this stuff meets up with reality, a lot like some free energy machine presentations end up compelling enough to sideline the initial energy input...
Yes, but it was before the Python 3 debacle, and certainly early enough to be a contender. F# is a vastly superior language compared to Python and the core is much simpler. And look at Visual Studio Code for an example when Microsoft puts their might behind something. It only took 3-5 years for Visual Studio Code to dominate. But obviously this is all hypothetical, because it also needs Microsoft to treat F# as something other than a research tool to bring features into C#. I really don’t know why they didn’t view F# as a way to take market share from Python. It could have brought legions into their ecosystem. (Hypothetical given many’s weird obsession with hating anything Microsoft does.)
David Graeber: On Bureaucratic Technologies and the Future as Dream-Time
Programmers have a tendency to carry around, in their mind, their last programing challenge. In some ways, it's like always being at work. I advice people to find a hobby. One That they can use to focus their mental energy away from programming. It can be anything but you have to be able to work on it and only it for a while. Your goal is not to make it an obsession but a way to relax. During the Olympics there was a diver that used crochet to relax in-between his dives as away to reduce the pressure of the competition. As a programmer you can do the same thing. But pick a hobby you truly enjoy.
What are the limits and who they were ever applied to?

Personally, I'm most familiar with other chains like Polygon, Aurora, Harmony, etc. Dealing with large sums of money is a non-issue. Ever.
My father has been doing a decent job decluttering from things my mother accumulated. She is still alive, but not all there.

He has a safe that has multiple locks that I need to make sure I have the code(s) for.

I don’t accumulate stuff and already told my sister when it comes to that time, she can grab what she wants. The rest goes to donation/dump.

But would’ve they predicted the that value of those 300B US dollars would be worth so much less?

Many tech companies during COVID gained legitimate value, just like many housing markets, but most the increase in their US dollar price was simply the value of the dollar being less.
I wonder if we could use this technique at place which gov will censored senstive data upload to streaming site like mainland china or North Korea(they do have streaming site right?)

although for propganda use, shortwave / sat tv is a much much simpler way to distribute information to place like that, but I belive now its hard to get one SW radio for anyone.
I have a genuine question about this. How are we supposed to isolate user data stored in, say Postgres, by region, and still do multi-region replication, and restoring correctly? And how is the application supposed to find which region a user's record is stored?

For example, if the user's data is only supposed to be kept in the EU, and if the user tries to login connected to a US node, should the app forward the request to the EU node (and how would it know?), which then accesses the EU database? If all nodes are connected to all regional databases, does it even make a difference?

Basically, I am very confused about regional separation of data while still running a single application.
That’s literally what the article is about?
For better training data in the future: Storing a content hash and author identification (an example proprietary solution right now [0]) of image authors, and having a decentralized reputation system for people/authors would help be the solution for better training data in the future whereby authors can gain reputation/incentives too.

Why does 5..1 go from 4 to 1? Because 1..5 goes from 1 to 4; it's a half-open interval.
5..1 goes over the same values in reverse.

:match is a "parameter list macro", which is something I invented. flet knows nothing about pattern matching; it transforms to a lambda, which also knows nothing about pattern matching, but :match takes the parameter list and body, transforming the code using the pattern expander logic.

String literals and quasiliterals can go across multiple lines, but with the permission granted by a continuing backslash. Being explicit about this lets us catch errors when a literal is left open accidentally. All unescaped whitespace before a continuing backslash, and leading whitespace at the start of
the next line is deleted:

"abcd \
efgh" -> "abcdefgh"

"abcd \
\ efgh" -> "abcd efgh" ;; escaped space counts

"abcd\ \
efgh" -> "abcd efgh" ;; on either side of \
