No, they can't, because the legislature wrote that law specifically to protect a series of endangered terrestrial invertebrates, and chose a word that has a plain meaning that includes terrestrial invertebrates. There's simply no complexity here.

This isn't an accident of law; there was a whole huge kerfluffle in the 1980s in California about where the authority to protect insects came from, and this was considered carefully at the time.

Again, this is right there in the decision linked at the top of the thread.

The number of repetitions per item is basically O(1) over your lifespan because of the exponential backoff. If you're spending constant time practicing every day, it's usually because you're constantly adding new items to memorize. If you stop adding new items, the workload decays rapidly.

Maybe loci is faster for you, but it's not obvious to me that's true in general.
You can try to come up with a better one but one based on identity runs up against the constraint of there being only 30 spots on the front page and the site's charter of interestingness.
That's from Sony Semiconductors/I&SS, not the Sony Camera division (part of EP&S), so take it with a (huge) grain of salt. It may just be internal politics, especially the claim that sensor sizes of phones will double (not happening unless you wanna quadruple the camera bump)

It's totally possible to go entirely remote, but having a local credit union with a local office can have benefits, especially when you need to explain something that wasn't working right (failed mobile deposit, returned bill pay check are two of my recent ones).

It's also nice for certain loans, especially when you can chat with the loan officer and learn that if you push for the 10 year mortgage vs the 15, they don't sell the 10 year ones.
If 50% of Bitcoin users went away tomorrow or stopped transacting, almost certainly the amount of electricity used would decrease, because the value of the coin would decrease.

This is like saying that if the US banned gold that gold mines wouldn't be impacted at all. Demand (and thus profitability of the asset) fuels mining.

People mine because mining is profitable, not to secure the network. Securing the network is a side effect.
What is your definition of recession if not the conventional one?
The very same argument could be made about rating police officers. Also, we shouldn't pretend that scumbags don't exist, they do, as both citizens and police. If you're going to cast doubt on the existence of scumbags in citizens, but not police, you're showing your own prejudice.
Also, while I don't expect early adopters to be rewarded, it would have been a nice touch to offer them a discount or a grace period.
I think the down-board view is that Uber’s rating works because the drivers also review the riders. Are police able to rate the people (I hate saying citizens because police are “just” citizens too.)? Will this still work “like Uber” with only one side of the transaction doing the rating? What happens when police rate people? Who views this score? Is it a precursor to dating someone? Hiring someone? This is where it starts to resemble black mirror.
OK, thanks for the detailed explanation. So nowhere near 100% recycling, but a somewhat good outcome in recycling and sorting (which is good per se).

I think this is a large logical leap. The unrewarded space may be huge, but it is not large enough that it's almost guaranteed (or even close) that we'll find something that looks like language in there.

In theory sure, but it has been proven over and over and over that it is incredibly difficult to time the market and some people who do this will get burned.

People have it backwards. *Will be downvoted due to contrarian view

A recession happened in 2008-2009 due to greedy mortgage investments, and the fed stepped in with quantitative easing (QE) to fix it. Yes, many people lost their jobs and houses, but for the next 10 years, the economy recovered and GDP boomed.

A pandemic hit in 2020, the fed stepped in w/ QE again. Inflation and war today, fed steps in again w/ quantitative tightening (QT). The masses are always so prone to basic survival instincts of fear (FUD) and greed (FOMO).

On the backstage, businessman & financiers take advantage of this psychology for economic gain: selling gold, crypto, ICOs, IPOs, SPACs, pulse oximeters, mortgages, what have you...

While these elite brainwash the masses (via search, social media, trad. media, entertainment, etc.), the fed is "demonized" for keeping the country hustling, producing, and growing [1].

Printed money? It is to keep you productive and prevent you from loosing your mind...be grateful for having a government that can step in to help instead of actually stealing from people [2] and having a work culture that can justify/fuel this [3].

the rule of thumb i've always seen is "consecutive quarters of negative economic growth" - in other words, negative change in GNP (have seen GDP used as well) after accounting for inflation.

since these indicators are always published after a time period has occurred and been tabulated, its possible we have crossed the threshold and are in a recession as we speak.

Q1 2022 is estimated at -1.5% right now, the final number will be released on 6/29. Meaning Q2 final data will be released sometime around the end of September, to make it an "official" recession (if Q2 ends up being negative).
I've lived a few states away from my credit union for well over a decade now.

> This clearly defines "fish" in such a way that it is inconsistent with the text.

Does it? The text at issue is California Fish and Game Code § 45, which reads:

“Fish” means a wild fish, mollusk, crustacean, invertebrate, amphibian, or part, spawn, or ovum of any of those animals.

How is the interpretation that bees, which are invertebrates, are within the scope of the statutory definition of “fish” inconsistent with the text?

Exactly - for me, investment is less about "making it big" and "beating the market," and more about, "storing the value of the work I did to earn this $X."

Such that, if the "burn rate" for my household today is $60k/yr, and I store $60k in investments, then when I withdraw at some future date $X will still be enough to support my household for a year.

Yes.

I think https://twitter.com/realmeatyhuman/status/153173904648934195... is best illustrative of this phenomenon.

So, it's certainly an "interesting" result in the sense that it shows how these kinds of systems work, but it's definitely not a language.

The Federal Reserve is given a "dual mandate" written into US law by Congress and signed by the President? So not exactly a "law of the universe" but I wouldn't recommend going around arguing you don't "have to" do things if they don't meet that standard.

Presumably, the definition allows California to, if it so chooses, protect microanimals that it designates as endangered.
> the HN community think of the Queen

I can't speak for anybody else, but I can answer your question in seven words:

I usually don't think of the Queen.

I'm not her subject, since I'm a New Yorker and some of my English ancestors fought to throw off the tyranny of Britain. Some of my ancestors are French, and I think most of us know what the French think of monarchy; they created a technological solution to the sociopolitical problem of a burdensome ruling class.

As for Britain maintaining its half-assed monarchy: it's not like the Queen has any real authority, is it? Sure, she can open and dissolve Parliament, and gives her assent to laws passed by the Lords and Commons, but isn't the royal assent essentially a rubber stamp?

It seems to be Parliament and the Prime Minister calling the shots, and even the PM doesn't dare annoy Parliament too much. I wouldn't say that the British system is less democratic than the one we have in the US, where unelected billionaires all but buy Senators with impunity, and a few senators can force Congress to ignore the will of the people. If anything, I'd say that the UK is more republican than the US.

Besides, the monarchy seems to be good for tourism and the occasional scandal. We can't let the Kardiashians have all the fun, can we?

Now, let's talk about meritocracy. I know the word has positive connotations, especially here on HN, but we seemed to have forgotten that the word "meritocracy" was coined by Michael Dunlop Young in his dystopian satire, The Rise of the Meritocracy. Alas, too many people have misread it as they've misread 1984, The Handmaid's Tale, and Snow Crash, so that like these better-known books The Rise of the Meritocracy is treated as an instruction manual instead of a warning -- when it is read at all.

An interaction with police is usually an inherently negative experience.

There are plenty of people that would rate an officer 0/5 for giving them a speeding ticket regardless of how pleasant and polite they were. In fact, a police officer giving a speeding ticket with a smile on their face would come off as extremely condescending and feel like they're doing it as a power move asserting their authority.

Inflation will do it if the fed doesn't.

There's no free lunch where you get to shut down big sections of your economy for a year or more and then afterwards it's like nothing happened.

Either high inflation causes a recession or the things you do to avoid high inflation causes a recession.

They already stated that the snail was a mollusk. It still seems you're ignoring the context of the fact that they added invertebrates under the fish heading, while they added other classes (plants) under their own headings. That context seems to indicate aquatic relation. Perhaps it was just them being lazy, but it would have been more proper to have it as it's own classification as was done for plants. This whole thing would have been unnecessary if they were good at being lazy and said they had the power to regulate species without making all these classifications.
It's hitting for me. My electricity price doubled, gas for the house is up, home insurance up $450 over last year, 401k in the red. I'm cutting back on everything I can because I have to.

> Proof of Work blockchains use the same amount of energy whether any individual makes a transaction or not.

Not entirely; that depends on the blockchain in question and on how much block subsidy is left. For bitcoin at this time (as well as for blockchains with a tail emission at any time), it's mostly correct since tx fees are a small part of the block reward. But in a few decades the bitcoin tx fees will dominate the every halving block subsidy.
I used to live in Warrenton, the police there and in all of Virginia are absolute bottom of the barrel trash. I have never come across a more hostile, self-involved, power tripping force anywhere in the world with the exception of China. Virginia's police departments make California look good.

While it may be constant over all time (given the convergence of a geometric series as you imply), there is still a startup cost of brainpower every time one must practice. I'd rather get everything done at once than have to practice every some number of days, if simply to avoid having the thought of practicing in the back of my mind.
There is, but all control flow is structured and the argument/return address stack is out of your control. You have blocks, loops, and if/else statements. The behavior of a branch instruction differs based on context - in a block, it jumps out of the block, in a loop it jumps to the beginning of the loop.

If you really wanted full tail-call behavior, you would either have to compile every function into the same mega-function in a loop and have some sort of if/else tree, or use trampolines (which would additionally require either storing parameters in memory somewhere or using the same type signature for all functions, since function calls are typed).

Overall, it's not a super great situation for true tail-call elimination. For now, I've implemented limited tail-call elimination for single-function recursive calls (transforming them into an in-function loop), and that's patched things up enough for me to continue working for now until I either need to come up with an optimized trampoline or the tail_call instruction finally gets standardized.

This and the sibling comments seem to prove the (grand)parent's point though; you can "charge fast" (apparently to 60-80%) in 15-30 min, which leaves you with a less-than-full-distance capacity in a longer time compared with an ICE which is "5 min and full capacity." That doesn't mean that electric cars aren't good, but it means they are slower (less distance, more down time) - this is good enough for most local traffic situations, though.
