You know what would undermine state legitimacy? Lobbying some old verbiage into an excuse to make city-dwellers baghold for Big Agriculture.

Farmers need incentive to not grow crops in a desert.

Yes. Not only should we strike down this absurd "promise," we should put in place a mechanism to make sure nonphysical open-ended promises don't ever get made again.
You are 100% correct. It made me essentially switch from all physical on consoles to "all digital, but physical for games I ended up liking a lot and would want to preserve/have it on my shelf". Mostly out of sheer convenience of not having to swap disks or look for them or having to dedicate space for them in my apt.

That arbitrator used to be the government, then google became a surveillance tool, and one hand washes the other. Microsoft should have played ball earlier with the agencies, and maybe we'd not be having to deal with IE deprecation this week.
My family has property in western Montana. There are cabins there that were built in the 1920s that are almost completely disintegrated. And that is just 100 years. This is an area that typically gets an enormous amount of snow in the winter (like 6-7 meters deep) that will completely crush a building if someone is not maintaining it all winter.
If the townsfolk (who pressure the politicians who pressure the chief who pressure the officers) would prefer that to you hassling them over those kinds of transgressions then yes.

Weed, fireworks on the 4th of July, teenagers fishing without licenses, there's all manner of things that are illegal at the state level yet locally accepted when done tastefully that the cops should not be ticketing people for because they people they serve generally do not support that.
It's not a phone app, but I made a web app[1] that can get pretty close[2]. From looking at the images I think the reason why other other apps don't look the same is that they try to emulate it use an ordered dither, while it looks like the Gameboy camera is either adding some randomness or noise as well. I have a Bayer (R) algorithm that adds randomness and it seems to get closer to the Gameboy camera output.

Alire really is a game changer. In maybe 5 minutes you can have a toolchain setup for building Ada code. On top of this, since Ada/SPARK can be mingled and Alire is a package manager, you can pull in plain Ada code and also formally proved (SPARK) crates.
> "Assets are returned as dividends or reinvested."

see, you did it again. assets are almost never "returned" anywhere. that's typically profits. you don't need an mba, but to have any credibility, you need to at least use these words reasonably.

in a capital structure, endowments are most similar to (long-term) assets, not revenue, income, or market cap (which is a valuation). i'll leave it as an exercise to work out why.

This guidance has never changed, IME.
Even if a real causal relation between coffee consumption and longevity was proved, I feel that the benefit of that finding would be limited as long as the actual mechanism isn’t understood. Few people who don’t like drinking coffee will start drinking it because of that, and those who like coffee drink it anyway (they’ll just feel even better doing so, maybe).

In my experience government regulators are typically follow their incentives which is tot take on cases that are easy (some one else’s does all the hard work and puts it in their lap), generate career making headlines, or generate revenue for their office (regardless of whether the targets actually did something - extortion)

> has won at least four million dollars at tournaments alone.

This is most certainly not true, because it doesn't subtract the cost of all the entry fees, to the tournaments she cashed and the dozens or hundreds she didn't.

"alone" implies she has won additional money in non-tournament play, when there is no evidence she is a winning cash player.

Finally, there is a LOT more to the Annie Duke story. Morally, ethically, business-wise. A winner? A little research goes a long way.
Great question. I've always felt "entrepreneurial leanings". Of my parents and siblings, I'm the only "employee". Unfortunately I've always been paid generously enough to curb those leanings. i think this is as good a time as any to test those "leanings" and reading about entrepreneurship and take a risk. Having worked for 25 years, I need to de-institutionalize my thinking and figure out what I'd like to do. It would have to be a passion project thogh because at this stage of life, that's what is going to drive me.

Bloom’s Taxonomy
Only if the intent of the law is ambiguous enough that the courts find themselves unable to parse it. This language is certainly a bit odd, but it was plenty easy for the courts to suss out what was meant here.

If the legislature disagrees with the court's conclusion, then they are free to amend the legislation in question.
> Bumblebee doesn't even come close to any definition of fish.

It fits well within the only relevant definition of fish, the one explicitly written in the statute under which the Fish and Game Commission operates, and of which the challenge to their action would have required the court to disregard the plain language.

The issue here isn't what the word fish means in general usage, it's what the California State Legislature granted the California Fish and Game Commission regulatory authority over, and in the law granting that authority, all inverterbrates are expressly included.

The courts job is to apply the law.
Since always. It's an extreme dislike ( the opposite of "philia"). "Revulsion" might be a better translation than fear or hatred.
Because it has being going on since it's inception and nothing has changed because the dynamics of how it operate are not the same as other industries. Hence drama, because the approach of trying to take down mining has not worked and is unproductive at the end of the day if the goal is to reduce carbon emissions. And yes I am also a crypto enthusiast so put me in the believer camp.

It's incorrect, but absent Bitcoin having an actual plan to increase transaction volume it's a reasonable way to imagine what a world where Bitcoin actually functioned as a currency might look like. It's possible that the bitcoin design is fundamentally flawed and cannot scale, but in some ways, OP has a very charitable way of imagining what it would look like if Bitcoin could actually function as a global currency.
They had electric power trains in their hybrids, including regen etc. How they didn't go to a range extender electric vehicle and then full EV and own all that is mind boggling.

Just the physics of "green" hydrogen seems so miserable. Take electricity? Use it to convert water at great cost to hydrogen. Then use more energy to compress it? Then lots of cost in shipping and handling (hydrogen is hard to handle). Then turn it back into electricity, then use that to run an electric motor.

I've been to about 3 of these Equality Labs workshops and just gave up on them because in each one they were throwing around "Protocols of the Elders of Zion" level disinformation

Ah, I see how it could cause problems with that type of "equality lab". The equality, discrimination, etc training I've had was very different, and boiled down to "here is a list of behaviors; if you do any of them or anything like any of them your ass is fired."
> “We remain very well capitalized and have sufficient capital to reach profitability, without having to raise additional capital,” Walsh said.

Fun aside: when I was a trader following the financial crisis, we'd play a parlor game counting the number of times a bank said "capital" in press release and on earnings calls. The more times, the more fucked. This sentence would have been a winner.

I'm as generally skeptical as anyone, but I think you've seen that it's essentially impossible to rationally debate with someone who believes in a conspiracy to the point that evidence against it can just be dismissed as part of the conspiracy itself. It's frustrating.

I certainly wouldn't trust my life to an unaudited VPN, but I think your two main points are pretty compelling -- 1) the business model is of large VPN companies is based on trust. They have very explicit, business interest in not violating that trust. 2) in one case we know of, when seized, the servers didn't have actionable information on them.

Does that mean every VPN company is trustworthy? Of course not. Does it mean that things could change at any time? Of course.
Discovery of new mechanisms to control the flow of sound
Rancher seems to now be a "multi-cloud container management platform".

- Deploys kubernetes clusters
- includes Fleet for CI/CD
- install apps with helm
- ISTIO (awesome)

It feels like it is positioned for orgs with large needs. I'm looking for k8s for small nimble orgs.

I will look at Rancher more, thanks for reminding me of it!

Google's Anthos is also hard to describe now as they cover similar "everything" product features.

GCP now has Autopilot which lets you pay just for the cpu you use (no cluster management at all).

Anthos includes ISTIO which may at some point work on Autopilot. This would mean not having to fiddle with GKE Ingress (which I found unpleasant) and instead use the new standard Gateway.

I believe that eventually GKE Autopilot will offer running individual pods on GPU/TPU, pay as you go.

But when is this all as easy as using Next.js ?
the game is designed around the assumption you don't play a character for more than 3 months (< 5% of the playerbase plays in standard). I agree they could do a better job setting expectations with new players to not get attached to their characters.

That comparison makes no sense. Your monthly power bill includes taxes, grid connection fees, etc - not just the cost of the power. Depending on where you live, there may also be natural gas bundled with electricity, adding costs that are not relevant to bitcoin. A lot of those fees don't scale with electricity used, but are fixed (driving down the marginal cost, etc).

Further, the rates for your home are not the same as rates in other places (odds are that somewhere else has cheaper electricity than you do).
If they increase the arbitrary block size by x100 this number will become 21.5 KWh and nothing will change but at least these annoying articles will go away.
Col-based storage is for usual tables, DW don't need that because all the stuff is pre-joined except for the dimension tables.

The dimension tables are tiny IIRC, and there should (?) be only one fact table. You don't join between fact tables anyway (do you?)

I feel you may be mixing up a few things but it's not my strong point here.
I chuckled when the article raised the question about the cause of Qualcomm's continued stranglehold over the supply of modem chips. Oh, maybe it's their fantastic engineers, or maybe their huge investments, or maybe their innovative chip designs. Or... maybe it's their 140000 patents? It's really impossible to figure out.
You're lucky if you live in an area with more than one ISP. lol
This is why work/life balance and mental health improved for remote workers. While remote workers were disengaged during those meetings, they at least felt somewhat productive and had a way to cope. When they are all forced back into the office and can't escape these fiascos their mental health will nose dive and the great resignation will continue until employers "figure it out".
Hmm, reading this side-by-side with a paragraph from BeeOnRope's comment:

> This post (and the earlier FizzBuzz variant) try to get around this by assuming the pages are available again after "pipe size" bytes have been written after the gift, _but this is not true in general_. For example, the read side may also use splice-like calls to move the pages to another pipe or IO queue in zero-copy way so the lifetime of the page can extend beyond the original pipe.

The paragraph you quoted says that the "splice-like calls to move the pages" actually copy when SPLICE_F_GIFT is not specified. So perhaps the combination of not using SPLICE_F_GIFT and waiting until "pipe size" bytes have been written is safe.
I've heard similar stories from a friend working at a major freight logistics broker here in Midwest, he also arranges the moving of parts for the pair of Boeing jets belongs to the New England Patriots NFL franchise.

It's not something that sits at the front of your mind, but it makes total sense: logistics for professional sports teams must be a whole industry all on its own.

What is the point of this post? Just to bitch about someone’s attempt to make search better?

First of all $10/mo is not way too much if you’re someone who heavily uses search. Especially if you’re working in tech. If you’ve got a 6-figure salary and derive huge value from good search results, $120/yr is nothing.

And the premise that the web is dead seems rather pointless. Sure the web may not be the place it once was, it has evolved and changed over time. You may have preferred how it used to be, but that doesn’t mean it is dead. It will continue to change as people and societies do.
The issues themselves may be rare, but abysmal customer support is quite typical from Google. And if there's one thing you can't just pack up and leave is DNS.

I'd rather not have to worry about some algorithm deciding to throw a fit and locking me out without any chance of recourse other than hoping a Googler reads my woes on Twitter or Hacker News. So I guess I wonder about some requirements from ICANN or some guarantees in this regard from Google
It's not "the townsfolk" who would give the officer a rating in that situation, it's the person getting pulled over for a dangerous vehicle. "The townsfolk" very likely want dangerous cars stopped, but that likely won't be reflected in any ratings by the people pulled over for dangerous vehicles, so it's biased. It's naive to assume the thought process is "well, I was breaking the law, but the officer was professional, so 5/5"
What are the thoughts on PIA? I've used them for years without issue, but I'm sure they're harvesting my data. lol

> if everyone who feels nervous because of Google's shithousery jumps ship to fastmail it doesn't really solve the problem of overreliance on a single provider.

In these discussions it's not really about the volume of people using a single provider, but about individual users relying on a single provider to perform multiple functions.

So the issue of over-reliance on a single provider is usually in the context of that provider being in a situation to take offence at something unrelated and apply penalties that impact other things you actually rely on.

For example Google don't like something you do related to YouTube or AdSense and they kill your account. Now you've got no email and your domain expires as you can't pay for it.

In these kinds of cases it exactly solves the problem as the vital stuff is not affected by shenanigans with the everyday stuff because you've spread the functions across multiple providers.
Do you know in fact that the legislature changed the definition after the fact? It seems to me more like crappy law-making than expedient changes.

Entitlement knows no bounds.
> People conflate SPF/DKIM/DMARC with spam checking.. they're not systems to prevent spam. They're intended to prevent forgery.

That's why I said that mandating these things was the easy half.

Once spoofing isn't possible, we have to build a proper (decentralised) system of domain reputation, with financial penalties attached. (And in order to get all existing internet users to agree to this, we have to exempt them and only burden future domain registrants, since there are no lobbyists for corporations that don't exist yet).

My understanding is that a lot of spam comes from cheaply and temporarily registered domains which are discarded as soon as the emails have been sent, because the domain's reputation is trashed within hours. If doing that caused the spammers to lose even $100, it would put their costs up considerably, and hopefully destroy their profit margin.
Classic confusion about marginal costs.

The price of bitcoin is supported by inflow of "fresh money" from newcomers. If this inflow stopped, for how long would mining continue?
Studies I've read in the past have claimed the same thing, yet still excluded people that would skew their results without reporting it.

A medical doctor once told me "coffee must be good for you because I drink it!". It seems common that people just want science to agree with them, and they don't care how or why.

Show HN: Swarmsible – Ansible Playbooks to Setup (and Manage) a Docker Swarm
My mum's phone was stolen last week, got her a new phone two days later but couldn't login to her gmail account while setting up the new phone.

I created the email myself, so I retrieved her password from bitwarden but couldn't login. Confused, I tried the same password multiple times, then tried the 'forgot password' feature, entered her phone number and got another shock when google asked me to get a code from my samsung galaxy S20 app - I don't use galaxy.

Google refused to send a reset code to her phone number even when I provided the original password.

Turns out she needed some contacts the previous day and asked my siblings for help. They used the forgot password feature, got a code through the retrieved SIM card, changed the password and logged in through an app on a samsung galaxy phone.

It's crazy, someone who didn't know the password could change it. But I who
had both the original password and the SIM card but couldn't.

We'd have lost her contacts if it was thief who changed her password before we retrieved her SIM card.
Just wanted to add that one of the worst things about digital currencies is how they turn us into serfs, toiling away for currency that can only be used to purchase different ways to toil away in the same hamster wheel.

From what I can tell, neobanks are the Robinhoods of banking. They target users willing to trade off real features for a cute interface. I don't get it, because I like money and competence. But I suppose I see the niche. There are domains of my life in which I too will pay a premium for aesthetics, even at the expense of functionality.

Moot. With natural resources, it's entirely about the cost of recovery. Nothing else matters. Who cares the core of the Earth is all iron, if it's eternally unavailable? What matters is $/ton.
I agree with you about that line in particular coming across as very entitled. This wasn't a scheduling survey for a post-work happy hour spot, it's a business trying to survive. I'm sure they took the author's $7 a month (really, $3 more is not _that_ much) suggestion into account.

The complaint about the call to child protection similarly was misplaced.

And just to put my cards on the table: I ponied up for a year of Kagi this morning when I got the announcement. I'm not sure if Kagi will be around in a year, but that's okay. Over the past few months, I've only had a single search query where Google outperformed Kagi (an odd one: "why did we all stop using ringtones"), and I like most of the features that Kagi has over Google. So I'm willing to put some money down to support a new entrant.
