Production can overcome monetary inflation. PCs don't cost $5,000 anymore even though there's more US Dollars circulating.

Cities that gain many high earning jobs will see housing inflation even though employers do not create money. This is independent of national level monetary policy.

Ask HN: How do RSS readers handle items missing pubDates?
I'm writing an RSS reader, and I noticed that items often miss publication dates. Regardless, other readers seem to be able to gather them anyway, I'm guessing through the actual site.

Is this generally done through web scraping, archival information, web crawler data, or something else entirely?

I'm asking because I would hate to resort to those types of methods as they are generally heavy on resources and unstable.

Meanwhile, in USSR there wasn't really any voting discrimination, but that's because no one really voted. There was simply discrimination and segregation in different other aspects of life, segregation taken as far as forced deportation of entire ethnicities to faraway places where many died before being allowed to return.

Racial discrimination in Russia continues to this day, albeit more subtle and less institutional.

Rofl in terms of workplace Facebook has been the best by far for myself. Given the most trust and responsibility, everyone I met was helpful, honest, and blunt. People came from wildly different backgrounds.

Anytime I had a question about a random area I’d get to meet the lead engineer for 30 minutes to an hour and they give an in-depth breakdown of how their tech work. I was always encouraged to help others and it reflected well in performance review.

When I had my interview with Tesla, the engineer sounded incredibly burnt out and was honest about how horrible it was.

People used to keep commonplace books, which were collections of quotations you'd read and wanted to keep. I use my blog for this: it's just a single page of text, with 482 entries on it, mostly quotes from books or articles, occasionally movie quotes. I use it as a reference all the time.

The next line of argument would be that the police are underfunded and understaffed and that they need a larger budget.

It's the same thing they do everywhere else. Here in Austin the police do absolutely nothing even when you have hard evidence of someone committing a crime, partially because the police union's realized they could use 'doing nothing' as a bargaining chip for larger budgets. It's maddening that you can simply not do the job you're paid to do and use that as a way to get paid more.

Yeah I’ve been taking it easy and resting a lot these last 5 days. My head feels clearer and sharper everyday, I’m just looking to watch some light videos and read HN though as I’m starting to get quite bored.
I actually have tons of things I'd love to draw, including some of the things you mentioned. Hence my frustration as a kid at not being able to get better and draw all those things :)
Is it? I've never heard a person introduce themselves as "woman". I've heard people identify themselves with their pronouns plenty of times. In fact, given the links, literally all I see from eevee is their preferred pronouns, not "woman". I don't see anyone even calling out that she's trans (is she?), just correcting a misconception from the original comment that she uses he/him pronouns.

Those particular pronouns may imply being a woman (I don't know enough to venture an opinion there; certainly I've seen people use combinations of pronouns such as "she/them" that don't make such an implication straightforward), but calling out the pronouns she uses to identify herself seems like a perfectly natural response to correct someone using the wrong pronouns, and not some sort of 'gotcha' to differentiate someone being trans (doubly when it's not at all apparent she's trans), especially when the person in question...identified themselves with those pronouns.

Noted, how often they referenced the churches?

One would think, that those groups and the church usually do not go along very well.

But since the catholic and protestant churches were oppressed too, they indeed often provided a save haven, for other groups. Because giving a concert for example, required a permission, but music in the context of the church was allowed, etc.
Many of the big players in ML also go out of their way to ensure their daughters are using renewable energy sources. The CO2 footprint thus ends up much lower than the airplane flight.

Some of it is just really clean Python code that generates a bunch of simulated data to train some machine learning code on with human readable configuration files.

So I have not used Alexa (and never used Google Assistant) in a long time. So maybe both of them have improved this situation.

But one of the things I was most impressed about Siri on the HomePod is it seemed to take context (not sure if that is the right word in this case...) into account more often.

For example:

On Alexa regardless of if I asked "how cold is it", "what is the temperature", "is it raining", "what is the weather"... etc etc etc. It would always say the same long weather response.

On my HomePod if I ask "How cold is it" I get "I don't find that particularly cold, it is cloudy and 72 degrees".

If I ask "what is the temperature" I get "its 72 degrees right now".

If I ask "is it raining" "no, I don't think its raining right now".

Then finally if I ask what the weather is I get the full thing.

Does Siri lack a lot of smarts to ask random questions and give the answer? yes, But I found when I switched to HomePod the things I normally do (like weather, timers, and similar) Siri did better.

Like I said, maybe Alexa has gotten better about this. But that is my experience. So for me Siri was better for my use cases. Home commands could use a lot of work, but that seems like an issue that no one has figured out how to make it actually better than flicking a light switch (outside of remote stuff).

I've written infrastructure software that has, without a doubt, saved a lot of lives, and will continue to do so, for many years to come. I've been working on a client implementation that leverages that software, for the last couple of years. It's approaching ship (but still a ways off). One of the goals of that project, is to help train a few young friends in the ins and outs of what it takes to create shipping software.

These projects would be worth a lot of dosh, if I were to hang a sticker on them.

But I did them for no money.

Society (especially US society) does not value vocations that help others. Teachers are incredibly well-educated, but treated like dirt. The same with social workers. We value individuality and selfishness. In fact, we actually deify these qualities.

It's an issue, but one I have no ideas how to solve. I think that the right to spend money on what we want is an important one, and I won't gainsay anyone else's right to do that. If driving around in a Model X and having a model (of any gender identification) on your arm is your priority, and you have worked hard for that, then Godspeed and good luck. I have different priorities, and the story of how I got them is long and winding. Not so many folks have backgrounds like mine, and not many that do, have developed priorities like mine.

I am grateful to be in the position I'm in.

This is exactly the kind of progressive-libertarianism the article is arguing against. As if we should tolerate suicides to avoid infringing on the rights of the suicidal.

And of course emergency services aren't your friends. They're supposed to prevent you from harm not be nice to you. It would be lovely if they could do both but interacting with unwell, pyschotic, sometimes violent people takes a major toll. There aren't many people who can do those jobs without compartmentalizing their emotions.
> You couldn't walk between 5th and 7th along Market.

I walked down Market back and forth from New Montgomery to Guerrero every day for work for many years. It is not true that there was some impassable section of Market. Most of the people out on the street were just normal people.

It is true though that there are now places you literally cannot walk down the street because the sidewalk encampments are so thickly settled that there's no space to pass. For example the west side of Folsom between 14th and 15th. They keep clearing the encampment but it just comes right back.
In medicine there are always trade-offs, tough situation here -- I have some experience dealing with people on the street in this locale.. What others do not realize is that the actual experience of being arrested for your own good, can do a lot of harm and is certainly dirty and harsh. Overall new guidelines are needed.

This is the money advice. I had an issue vaguely like this with an employer. The advice I received was, don’t tell them you have a lawyer unless the lawyer says to, don’t quit or let them make decisions for you, and if you are unsure draw things out.

While doing these things you should probably find a lawyer to help you out.
> If code can "recognize" when something like this is being done and provide documentation on other ways, it can help people learn new methods.

Now I'm imaging Clippy popping up when you copy a ludicrous amount of data to the clipboard. "You appear to be using a cludgy method, may I suggest something better?"

Of course, I'm guilty of things like this. I have one excel macro that splits data from a giant stream* (one monolithic CSV, actually) into discrete units, graphs them, and then sorts the graphs for printing. It makes a lot of use of the clipboard, and god help you if you try to copy/paste something while the macro is running.

People who hate wind farms have set minimum distance rules that rule out almost all places in their state. The new rules aligns incentives in two ways:

- if resistance is too high on projects that meet the minimum distance rules then you instead get projects even closer to home

- if minimum distance rules are set too restrictive they get waved entirely, so you are better off setting reasonable rules in the first place

California Sends Democrats and the Nation a Message on Crime
I’m sorry. You’re wrong. This is new and worthy of attention. The right loves to hold up San Francisco as a failed city. But that doesn’t make any of the reports of dysfunction untrue.

The author describes in detail exactly how specific well-meaning politics have caused great harm by exacerbating the:
Housing crisis
Drug crisis
Crime crisis

I will just talk in general terms and not say anything personal since I don't have any personal knowledge of your situation.

But in general, the problem with surveillance is that it is just all about appearances. People usually learn to "look" busy instead of being productive and that is counter-productive to actual productivity when people are just pre-occupied with appearances.

Another problem is that it creates an atmosphere of low trust in the company. When there is an atmosphere of low trust, people will be less motivated to work hard and to give their whole effort since they will feel they are just expendable since the manager doesn't trust them.
Ignoring a person and self's irrational and emotional side is one of the most irrational quirks of so-called rationalists.
A cynical take, Tesla has a great financial position - albeit with an extreme P/E ratio. A few years of growth should absolve any need to reduce headcount, reducing headcount while under high growth may be counter productive.

My bet is that Elon decided that people need to go to the office, and simultaneously decided that the only way to make this happen was to announce headcount reductions and instill fear into managers, and employees alike. Most companies have been in a prisoners dilemma where they want to bring people back to the office, but can't due to the risk that a large number of staff leave voluntarily. TSLA is effectively saying that they will take a headcount reduction in order to go back to the office.

If I were in this boat, and I needed to work remote - then I'd look around for another option. Organizations that manage via fear tend to turn toxic in a hurry.
Nudism is definitely a big part of East German culture. Not in an eye poking way, it just is and it's not a big deal. I've lived here for over a decade now, and it's had a positive impact on me. It's just pleasant to do it, even if only from time to time, and not stick out like a sore thumb. Or even to go to a mixed sauna, and noticing how nobody really cares since they are there for themselves. I did it in a different country a couple years ago, and even though it was a designated area, some bushes were missing and a couple giggled looking in our direction. In a way, I felt sorry for them.

I'm inclined to agree that it likely is necessary for general intelligence. It's like the Mary's Room thought experiment. You don't understand what the color red is if you've never seen it, no matter how well you understand the abstract concept of red.

An AI can never truly understand the physical world without direct experience of it. Now, I believe you probably could build something that could be called an AGI without embodiment, but it would be greatly limited by its lack of experience of the physical.

Side question: I had some vague notion that Cuban was getting into the mfg side. Like maybe white labeling specific drugs he bought from existing mfgs, possibly even generic. Like Amazon Basic, but for drugs.

I always find it weird that Germany persistently gets a LOT of flak for doing this:

While nobody really cares that Poland (along with so many other countries) is doing this:

https://aleasoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/20190724-ale...

("80% coal now and forever? meh, who cares?")

It's almost as if Germany proving the model that you can reduce CO2 while turning off nuclear plants that is attracting flak.
If you have kids and you want to give them some experience with physical computing and MicroPython, can I suggest our resources at https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pathways/pico-intro

They're pretty simple and very creative, and the Raspberry Pi Pico is about the only Raspberry Pi device you can get hold of at the moment.

We've destroyed the vast majority of nature in the name of progress, setting the cut off point at renewable energy seems a bit weird, especially when the alternative to reducing our emissions is completely destroyed ecosystems and probably having to deal with extreme droughts every other year.
