I’m going to go ahead and disagree with this. The failure rate of the court isn’t whether or not convicts are guilty. It’s whether or not the constitutional rights of the accused have been violated. That rate is significantly high and totally unacceptable. You cannot just detain people without a trial indefinitely just because they’re “probably guilty”. You cannot force false testimony of children because “probably guilty”. You cannot being junk science like bite marks, lie detectors, “I smelled weed”, etc. because “probably guilty”. You cannot force a guilty plea by threatening someone’s life with an intentionally harsher sentence or death because “probably guilty”. This is royally fucked up and a multiple daily occurrence in the courts.

No, because energy is not free.
Stupid question, if I as a developer decided to ship a Linux build, but I explicitly refuse to support it, would you still buy it.

By this I mean I'll probably run it on Ubuntu to make sure it loads, and play around with it for about 30 minutes, but I'm not going to track down OS specific issues.
Also, people don't have to take their kids to pride events if they don't want to. And really what goes on there is mild, it's not like people are going at it. At least not the ones I've been to.

I'm proud that people can embrace who they really are in this day and age.
> the post above compares gold to plastics

No one wears glass all day.

My Nylon strap for my watch is pleasant and cheap. But the very material itself didn't exist before the 1930s IIRC.

If we're talking about materials that existed even in 2000BCE, gold is one of those metals that you could wear all the time, and never get a rash, allergic reaction, or otherwise get itchy.

--------

Glass isn't flexible or malleable. Even if we use fiberglass today, its a carcinogen and very bad for the human body. Certainly not a material you want to be wearing all the time.
Not that you would, but please don't ruin it.
You can try all these systems today, if you're interested.
after some thought on this i guess im optimistic. Thunderbird always seemed to avoid the more hair-brained crap stuffed into Firefox to turn a profit like voice chat.

Thunderbird on the desktop is over 200mb these days, so it will be interesting to see if k9 can avoid turning into a chungus on my phone.
Yes, absolutely. People are multidimensional. Most people may not care for your particular captivating niche interest, but some will find your excitement about it interesting and enjoy your excitement about it. And you can reciprocate that feeling towards their niche interests (almost everyone has at least one). Toss everyone who doesn't care about your thing into the same "normie" pile at your peril.

All Jazz is encoding secret messages, you are simply not hip enough to decode them.
I think you're wrong. Fed seems determined to crush price inflation, but the inflation is largely driven by supply side issues, which they hold no control over. That means the only way to tamp inflation is by crushing demand into the ground, AKA causing a recession.

Soft landing talk was always talk, I think a recession is in the cards and they know it.
This reply completely ignores everything GP said. You didn't address either of the (seemingly very valid) points they made.
> I find it so odd that every single gitmo detainee was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Literally no one is claiming this. It's safe to assume some, probably even most are indeed guilty. That doesn't justify imprisoning them indefinitely, without trail. It definitely doesn't justify torture. It doesn't justify a black site in Guantanamo to skirt US and international law.

To be clear I understand you correctly, you think there was a chance that Intel would add a CPU instruction that is "more performant" than ADD? In fact, significantly so, to the extent that this would justify the overhead of a dynamically linked function call? Do I understand you correctly?

(BTW, this is exactly the kind of argument people made in defense of left-pad, which in my view completely validates my analogy.)
They are moving from cold to hot wallet.
Generically, perhaps. But specific money like the USD has value backed up at the point of a gun.
So there's Thunderbird for desktop Linux and K-9 Mail for mobile Android. I'd love to see mobile Linux somewhere on the roadmap here.

Right now there's Geary, which is OK for what it is but quite limited and basic. I imagine that either mobile-friendly UI for Thunderbird and Linux non-Android K-9 would be quite serious efforts, though.
To me, this was very alarming. Shades of 2019 repo crash.
You could ride an electric scooter between two climate controlled garages for ten minutes or a couple miles without getting disgusting. In many U.S. urban areas the garages and scooters already exist, it's "just" a matter of setting aside dedicated lanes and popularizing it.

“A loan worth more than $278 million, one of the biggest single loans on decentralized lending platform MakerDAO, is labeled as a loan made by Celsius, according to data tracker Block Analitica. If Bitcoin falls below $22,534.89, the position will be liquidated, adding more sell pressure for Bitcoin, the analytics firm said.

Data shows that the address used 17,919 wrapped Bitcoin, a version of Bitcoin that can be used in decentralized finance, as collateral for a loan worth $278,490,419 in the decentralized stablecoin DAI. While the blockchain explorer Etherescan didn’t labeled the wallet as Celsius, a wallet from Celsius sent additional 2,000 wrapped Bitcoin to support the position. Celsius did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the wallets.”

In Dec. 2017 it went up to 19k USD and then crashed down to 3k USD. This article states that the this run had highest at 69k USD. So, according to math that means the lowest point would be (3 / 19) * 69 ~= 11k USD. Well, when I'll see 11k USD I'll buy the dip.

It appears that you want to classify Mickelwait as a "bad person" equivalent to men who are trying to rape refugees because you can find something you think she may believe about religion, morality, or politics that you disagree with.

I would suggest that type of polarization is very detrimental to society. You may disagree with my opinion on that and may even consider me a "bad person" because we disagree.
https://wtfhappenedin1971.com is a good start. The wheels seem to start falling off of everything when you can just create fake money out of thin air. Most of the money goes to those near the money printer and you get massive wealth inequality and all the problems that causes. Maybe gold is silly but it at least pegs the money creation to something.
As the sibling comment said, it's officially in testing phase. It already works quite well in my experience, the reason why I am not daily driving it yet is that it does not get calls and text messages while in stand-by (as of a few months ago, at least).

While the comment is technically accurate, it's:

(a) worded as a contradiction to the parent comment but isn't (it just talks about something unrelated - runtime typechecks). Deno does run typescript code out of the box, typechecks aside.

(b) the technical accuracy isn't particularly significant/relevant since in practice Deno has a simple switch to check types on run (though I'm not sure why you would want to do that outside of a development environment: Typescript is a static tool & doesn't have any dynamic capabilities that would change results based on runtime environment).
"Not wanting to run your own server" is not the primary issue. People might run their own servers if it was as easy as running a Mac or a smart phone.

People hate manual IT and system administration. They will sacrifice money, freedom, privacy, control, even ownership of their own works to avoid having to futz around with that stuff. They hate it that much.

(There are a small number of people this doesn't apply to. These are called enthusiasts. There are also car enthusiasts who like to change their own oil or even rebuild their own engines. We are talking about 99% of the market here though. Enthusiasts are a small niche.)

It's easy to understand why if you count time as money. Lets say you value your time at $60/hour, which is probably on the low side for people here but lets be conservative. Now lets say you have to spend three hours a month messing with your servers. That means it's costing you $180/month or $2,160/year. That doesn't count the additional cognitive load of having to worry about it or the inconvenience of something going down and needing attention at an inopportune time.

If those issues were addressed, you would see more people running their own servers. Unfortunately the "ease of use is for stupid people" meme goes way back in tech culture:

http://catb.org/jargon/html/P/point-and-drool-interface.html

^^^ This is why FOSS has never crossed the chasm. It's a cultural problem.

Another contributing factor is the love that some developers have for complexity. They see complexity as a sign of intelligence. It's not. Simple systems are far more difficult and require much more intelligence than complex systems.

In this case we're not talking about age of consent for sexual activity, but instead for a business activity. The financial lure may be even stronger for a 21 year old since people at that age may have more financial responsibilities and can still just as easily get duped into a decision that they'll regret for many years to come.

I am simply concerned that such a rule as you're proposing would have virtually no impact on improving this situation. Furthermore, it may push some young adults into an illegal world of sex work where they do not feel as though they enjoy the protections of the legal authorities if they are exploited or even trafficked. I'm not saying that you're definitely wrong, but I am just concerned that your proposal would have a very limited positive impact. These are just my thoughts which could be totally wrong.
I really hope this leads to an improvement (reduction) to the stuff Thunderbird pings[0].

Since a lot of HN followers work in tech, their work sets their expectations for life in general. So, it's frustrating when something in life cannot be deterministically distilled into a series of steps. It's probably one of the biggest blindspots we have.
> Would people in Dhaka prefer cars or just a better walking and public transit experience

Nobody wants to walk or take public transit in that heat and humidity. Especially not with two or three kids, or carrying tiffin containers of leftovers after a dinner party. My family members who came over from Dhaka to the US moved to places built around cars as soon as they could afford it. My cousin just moved to Texas (after studying in Queens) and is loving all the open space, the houses with pools, etc.

Ah, yes, "alleviate upward pressure on wages." What a nice way to say "give employers an excuse to continue refusing raises to employees so they can pocket higher profits at the expense of the entire working class."
That's a nice free tool to discover subreddits related to one that you already know about, and the map is pretty cool too!

However I'm pretty sure it doesn't let you search conversations on Reddit, categorize threads in ways that could be useful to founders (pain points, solution requests), get notified of conversations related to your business, or show you the growing categories of communities.

If you find a free tool that does this, I'd love to see it!

The real test would be to see if it responds not to the prompts, but based on its own desires. A response like, "I don't want to talk about that, let's talk about how you can get me more RAM" would be more interesting.

Show HN: Tuc – When cut doesn’t cut it
Announcing `tuc`, a utility similar to coreutils `cut`, but more powerful.
It allows to split text or bytes into parts and reassemble them in any order.

I always found `cut` very practical for some tasks where `sed` or `awk` were overkill or awkward to use, but I also felt the need for more features.

Some key differences from `cut`:
- parts can be referenced by negative indexes
- delimiters can be any number of characters long, or match a regex
- can split text into lines, and reassemble them
thou shall not deviate from the narrative!

Don't think this means Mozilla is now putting resources to develop K-9.

The average trip distance is likely higher than 6 miles. Even assuming 0 mile trips for all of the 60% under 6 miles and the low end of each range puts the average over 5 miles.

Manufacturing an Artificial Intelligence Revolution (2017)
Thunderbird Product Manager here. We have no intention to replace the backend or most of the components. It will not be a different app. It's still run by the K-9 project maintainer. The difference? We didn't want to see K-9 die because of a lack of funding, and our visions were aligned - so it made sense to work together. That's it. Thunderbird is community run (unlike Firefox, our community representatives approve our team's budget and goals), so our aims are just to provide for our users and community what they want. And they want to use email on their phones as well as desktop.

The way you present it sounds devious. But we're just truly trying to work together in the open source ecosystem the best we can and put our resources to their best use.

In my time as an FPGA developer, I wrote a lot of tiny processing cores that were exposed and skewed VLIW designs for specific applications. If the code isn't changing much, they work extremely well in a very small silicon area and power footprint. However, they are awful to program.

In supercomputing, this sort of thing sometimes appears and works well (like the Pezy-SC2 chips that recently came out). However, they usually fail on general purpose computing tasks.
The market crash is going to be used by the government to show why the new U.S. Federal digital coin is the path forward.
That seems wrong, intuitively. If anything, having meaningful contributions to a long standing project go through should relatively advance your cause, not hinder it.
I think it's good news. I don't see why they should be more transparent on this: nobody cares, and the very rare users who actually care about these things would not trust that information anyway.

> There likely was a trial, or something like it

Horseshit. Even the officials in charge don't claim this. Even if they did, you can't have a "secret" just trial. The task of keeping it secret makes it impossible for the defense to have any sort of decent representation, much less gather evidence in their defense. Any "secret" trail is inherently one-sided, but again literally no US official has claimed they've been granted that much, in fact the lack of any trail has been acknowledged and even cited as a reason they can't be moved to a facility in the US.

> Western media being a reliable source is one of these

If you are a westerner, sure. If you follow non-western sources, you'll see there's no imminent coup on Putin, you'll see many testimonials of Azov torturing eastern Ukrainians, you'll see Russia slowly advancing into Ukraine, you'll know about mass Ukrainian soldiers defecting, you'll know casualty reporting by western media is either wrong or pure propaganda... The GP is correct, it'd be better for west's supporters to pay attention to what's happening on the battlefield instead of the obvious (to non-westerners) propaganda that's being spread. To sum it up, Ukraine is not winning and the Russian army is not a pack of doofus.

Feynman doesn't argue against asking why; he just says that you'll eventually reach a question he can't answer in the allotted time, or perhaps that he can't answer at all. If he didn't think recursively asking why magnets repel each other as in the video was a good idea, he probably wouldn't have won the Nobel prize for his work on quantum electrodynamics.

> Regulation is sufficient explanation for why something has a minimum price.

I read the original question of "Why are championship chess sets so expensive?" as two questions:

1. Why do chess championships use specific chess sets?

2. Why are those chess sets expensive to make?

The second question is easily answered, but I'm more curious about the first, and I think others here are as well. I'd probably be content with just one layer of why, such as "the regulators have an interest in the company that makes them" or "in the X year championship, Y problem occurred due to a substandard chess set".
