Watch Tarantino movies. "The Hateful Eight" in particular was fantastic. It doesnt look like an action movie, but as someone who really enjoys small details of realism it felt like a very good action movie.

While it’s bad that the supremes are taking themselves out of relevancy, the real risk is ignoring laws that are passed. Creating situations where there’s different validity in different parts of the country, undoing precedents, etc. this kind of change should motivate younger folks to be politically active. As with brexit, they’ve lost their future based on votes they ignored and the votes of others.
Reducing carbs reduces the subsequent blood sugar spike, which reduces the insulin the pancreas must produce to push that sugar into the fat cells, increasing weight, and eliminating the subsequent sugar crash which causes you to feel hungry. On a keto diet, instead of being hungry 2 hours after eating, you won't be hungry until 6 hours later. This reduces calories eaten which helps reduce weight.
I work in HVAC and it is very common for larger buildings. They get huge incentives for shedding load during peak hours. Larger buildings also have more tools at their disposal beyond simply the "thermal inertia" of the building itself:

1. Ice thermal storage. You freeze ice at night and melt it during the day to cool your building. Only used for large buildings - check out Chicago's district cooling for an awesome example.

2. Adiabatic and hybrid cooling towers. These are HVAC equipment that can switch between regular and a "wet mode" where they evaporate water to cool the AC coil and reduce electricity usage.

3. Better automation tools. Building automation systems are fully programmable (e.g., switch schedules when outdoor temperature is past a certain threshold), unlike most programmable thermostats which can run a fixed schedule but not much else.
mainly because it is difficult to distribute and store

Untrue. Energy losses in hydrogen storage and transmission are significant (11%) but much smaller than the losses at the electrolysis step (24%) and the redox step (46%).
Habitual be is IMO a fantastically useful linguistic innovation (and I say this as a nearly forty english white dude).

I want Firefox on iOS, and I want Tor Browser on iOS, and I want Lynx on iOS, and I want wget on iOS, and I want youtube-dl on iOS, and I want to run whatever the hell I damn well please on iOS.

Underhanded? It's pretty clear that your stated goals don't align with your real goals here.

Edit: I have a hard time putting into words why your arguments seem so deceptive to me. It is like whataboutism: the arguments you are making are technically functional but they just completely fall apart with any reasonable weighing of the pros/cons because it betrays the "intrinsic" goals (choice, browser competition, functionality, security) for "extrinsic" goals (browser diversity, but mostly the success of safari). This makes me think that you're secretly misaligned and that you actually hold those "extrinsic" goals as your intrinsic goals.
My Clavinova has buttons for changing temperament – by default it is equal (fairly obviously) but it is wonderful to actually be able to try out mean tone / pythagorean and various other obscure temperaments, particularly when bashing around with strings or singers. Playing Bach's well-tuned klavier -- a piece written to celebrate equal temperament -- in a pythagorean temperament is also just fun. The difference is subtle, but decidedly there.
That should be cleanly handled in a language like Python and others, where the context managers clean up the resources when exiting a scope, normally or after an exception.

It's like stack unwinding is a new concept or something.

Star Trek has always been primarily about humanity's problems, and deeply entrenched in the politics of the day. TOS was Cold War geopolitics in space. TNG was a morality play with science fiction tacked on. DS9 analogizes any number of conflicts from Northern Ireland to the Kosovo War to post-Nazi occupied Europe. The galaxy's issues have almost always been metaphors for real-world politics.

Maybe between old Trek and new Trek, the politics were more layered in allegory and are now more overt, but it was always there.

Could you elaborate on this embezzlement? I was under the impression that 42 was closed as a cover up to the rapes mentioned above.
That’s very interesting. Literally the dawn of aging. I’m skeptical though, do you have any sources you can point me to?
Yes but an illegal activity according to whom?

If the company operates out of California, well, state's rights and that activity isn't illegal in California and there is nothing anyone can do about it.

If the company operates out of one of the states that is making abortion illegal then yea maybe, except that states such as California or New York may make it a requirement that companies collecting such data must delete it upon request from their citizens in order to operate in that state. At which point nobody is keeping their HQ in an anti-abortion state so it probably doesn't matter because there is nobody who can enforce the law. It will just come down to jurisdiction.

But good luck to anti-abortion states in enforcing these laws and trying people for murder or something. State governments are already woefully incompetent at enforcing other laws. I personally will be donating to entities that help fund people who need help covering travel expenses for an abortion.
I completely agree, I'm just saying that using the Youtube app makes it convenient for Google were they to try and push iOS users towards Chrome (e.g. by showing a banner every time you open the app).

I doubt most users are using a dedicated third-party authenticator.
a hotpot chain in the US. I don't do it bc I'm too poor. Americans don't get enough veggies, they love meat, and they love big quantities of food for cheap. The hotpot place next to me has a line out the door for 2 hours and can't keep up. I wish there were more of them around. Plus, all you need is raw, uncooked veg/meat and electrical outlets for pots. Little startup cost besides building.

Secondly, an Indian version of chipotle. there is one in Montreal that is great and would prob thrive in US.

Third, Super Giant games needs to make sequels to Hades for different religions and areas. An Aztec or Egyptian spinoff game would be dope.
Does one ever question why deadlines constantly get pushed? At best, it means those high performers are bad at setting initial deadlines. Or is it that meeting deadlines isn't considered a performance metric?

Now if deadlines are important, maybe it's just relative performance that you're speaking to. So if everyone misses deadlines you can still be high-performing, but it's like saying you're the skinniest kid at fat camp. It's normalization of deviance, and not a trait of high performing teams.
Yeah, +1 on this anecdotal evidence. I did whole home lighting upgrades and got way more LED strips/panels/etc after I installed solar+battery at home. Not quite to like 170W per room or anything, but I am using measurably more power than before.

How does one get in touch with @VitalikButerin? How does one invite him to a podcast?

I have interviewed Noam Chomsky and other political commentators, Sara Hanks from the SEC and other former regulators, Thomas Greco and other community currency economists (and by the way, we explicitly discussed Henry George and Progress and Poverty etc.)

But when I spoke to Vitalik’s dad he explicitly said Vitalik asked him not to share any links with him and make no introductions. Vitalik prefers to discover stuff on his own. So how does he get on these podcasts?

Everything Vitalik talks about, we have BUILT using his platform EVM (https://intercoin.org/applications) and are now moving past it and blockchains, eg to build the Intercloud. The other week I spoke with Dyne about anonymous group signatures because we need them for voting, UBI and other applications where each person has to have exactly one account.

I’ve spoken directly to the former and current CTOs of Ripple, the entire teams behind MaidSAFE, Cardano, and much more. Vitalik is the only one I was never able to get in touch with. He and his dad always talks about how the crypto space should build the kinds of things WE HAVE BUILT over the last 4 years.

I know on HN some people just downvote anything related to crypto. But look at the link above — everything is open sourced and documented and being audited and we have a show explaining how it works. What is wrong with that? What is bad? There needs to be more POSITIVITY and COLLABORATION helping each other, rather than all this competition and shitting on each other.

The end game should be open source software that helps communities of people self organize and get things done. We won’t achieve it if we keep being so divided and bickering, we’ll just live in an increasingly centrally planned world, with CBDCs and Big Tech mediating and controlling ALL OUR INTERACTIONS AND TRANSACTIONS.

I am surprised that “Hacker News” is often so much in favor of the Web2 status quo of VC-funded Wall st-funded Big Tech, with their centralized server farms. Shouldn’t we be supporting hacking on new things? To the perennial silent downvoters: use your words, say something.

Because as we get chat bot AI and Apple Glass and then Neuralink, everything is going to be more immersive and you’ll spend more time in these metaverses, the question of corporate control of the metaverses vs open source software will become ever more important. Do we want to be the Borg or do we want to be free?
It's not really Vitalik's fault how a decentralized platform is used, for better or for worse. Can only hope people lose interest in buying into crypto scams altogether, or that regulators do their job.

And yes, I know Ethereum is not that decentralized.
Boeing left because their tax break ended for what it's worth.
Odd. I didn’t like interstellar either, but time dilation in the vicinity of a supermassive black hole is way, way less controversial than being able to build a wormhole large enough for a ship to get through.

Possibly you’re confusing stellar mass black holes and super massive black holes?

Time dilation doesn’t only occur at high velocities, so your link focusing entirely on velocity is accurate, but I think not really relevant.

The physics was pretty reasonable for the time dilation. Possibly off by an order of magnitude or so, but not ridiculous on its face.

Except for the wormhole.
>but I think they might be working under the assumption that IPv6 addresses are usually "more public" (when accidentally not using random privacy addresses?) than NATed IPv4

Are privacy address per machine or per connection? My impression is that they're the former, which still makes them worse than IPV4 + NAT.
>The LED lights in my apartment add up to about 170W.

That adds up to ~3 medium intensity incandescent light bulbs. Unless you live in a very small apartment, I think you're still coming out way ahead on energy usage.
That's exactly right, the term usually refers to cars that use fans to generate vacuum for better grip rather than propulsion to go faster. Cars today can easily go super fast in a straight line, the hard bit is putting that power down in corners.
Actually, you can... if the stuff is marked as "for fish" [1].

> by Spring and by Java EE

Spring is definitely a 3rd-party library builder, and I'm unaware of promises like that from Java EE. Can you help me understand what informs your view on that? It seems like they delivered a bunch of stuff that made it easy to consume XML for all kinds of questionable as well as reasonable purposes, but it was Spring not Java trying to turn XML into a scripting language.
Cool, reminds me of how some small racing maze solving robots (micromouse) work - little fans on them to create downforce, letting the robot change directions incredibly quickly. But scaled up for a 2000lb car.

That's a nice perspective, thank you. And you are right, I expect to graduate within 1.5 years with a Masters degree, which is a vastly superior outlook than just working an average job with no Masters.

But still, it's just a bit depressing having to study for random exams that are for the most part just academic acrobatics as I call them, rather than having a free mind to be able to work on and learn whatever I want.

I do have time for that stuff in-between exam phases but usually that time flies waay too fast because I enjoy it so much, and before I know it it's time to grind for the exams again...
I always see this attitude as a management failure. For a couple of reasons:

1. as a manager, I need to be able to manage people when I can't see them. I need to look at what they're outputting, what results they get, not just whether they're moistening a chair for enough hours in the day.

2. people aren't fungible. Or rather, if they are, then I've recruited the wrong people. If I could outsource the job for a tenth of the salary and get the same results, then I absolutely should do that immediately. If I'm paying 90% of this person's salary just so they can moisten a chair in the office, then I'm not doing my job right.
The efficiency will be driven by the difference in temperatures between the hot and cold side.

Presumably the target temperature will swing less than the outside temperature making it always more efficient when it’s cooler outside.

There is the added complication of how good your insulation is, if it’s bad it might use less energy cooling when it’s hot outside.

However the driving issue isn’t really efficiency but peak power going beyond capacity. Peak usage is in the middle of the day, any off peak usage is better than near peak usage.
To me, the show's nature completely changed when Stephen Moffat took over. I really enjoyed the Ponds' story arc, but it felt like Moffat had just thrown out all of the other characters and stories that I'd grown to love before the 11th Doctor showed up. The monster-of-the-week show with the occasional through-line had become (for better or worse) a show about a multi-episode, multi-season plot. It was almost a new, different show with the same basic premise.

And then Clara came along. It's kind of like how Capaldi and Whittaker went; Jenna Coleman seems like a pretty good actress given a vacuous role. Even the character started out as an interesting twist with lots of potential for good story telling, but it seemed like Moffat couldn't quite figure out what he wanted to do with her but couldn't let her go, either. I don't remember exactly how long she was the primary companion, but it felt like an eternity (and I guess in canon, it sort of was).
Movie theory (not mine): the bad acting is intentional on the director's part. He may have intentionally cast pretty faces with little talent as a shoutout to fascist films who did similar.

>The most natural implementation of the EU directive would be to have a place in User Settings where users can go and enable targeted advertising if they want it.

And why would we assume that these companies would follow the "most natural implementation"?

The very predictable response of the industry to the EU directive was to make the cookie banners as annoying as invasive as possible, such that users would consent to tracking out of apathy. No, it's not what the EU intended to happen, but it was a consequence. Which brings me back to my original point: often times idealic and well-intentioned measure have negative consequences.

In hindsight, perhaps the EU should've legislated that the UX for the tracking content cannot be unreasonably annoying. I don't know how I'd go about codifying that into law though.
I mean, I think crypto is pretty stupid and scammy myself (and if you know Lars he is suspicious of most blockchain stuff as well) but Vitalik seems like one of the more legitimate people working in that field. You may disagree with his assessment of how useful cryptocurrencies will be but he's not running scams.
In terms of heat rejection efficiency, unless the difference between your cold/off-peak temperature and your normal AC temperature is greater than the difference between the morning temperature and the mid-day temperature, this will not be the case. It's the difference between the indoor temperature and the outdoor temperature that drives efficiency, so you want to run the AC when these temperatures are as close together as possible.

However, you do increase the rate of heat loss because there will be a larger temperature difference between the inside and the outside, so it does depend on how well insulated you are.
The melody for Takadanobaba is the Astro Boy (Tetsuwan Atom) theme, which is due to Astro Boy's in-universe background that states he was built in 2003 at the Ministry of Science, located in Takadanobaba.

The current office of Tezuka Productions is also located in Takadanobaba.
The 3rd paragraph in the link also explains that.
What client are you using that sends Authorization on domains that are not configured (since then you would configure them to use https)?

Also, if you are MITM:ed the MITM could still have port 80 open, so you don't actually protect against anything, right?
I interviewed a lot this year; the amount is probably between 50-75, with at least 15 take homes (all 100% remote jobs). The great majority of those came from LinkedIn recruiters, and that all sucked, I got three offers which I declined because they weren't great. In the end, what got me a new job was my blog and the branding I have on Twitter. At some point my posts where getting traction, and companies started reaching out to me. It got me a job without even interviewing. If it wasn't for that, I would probably still be interviewing with recruiters on LinkedIn.
This is really useful. Thanks.
OP here. That's actually incorrect.

We started OWA with a group of primarily Safari first developers, in that iOS Safari is our primary target platform. We've had over a decade of major issues from rendering bugs, to lack of functionality to our apps breaking for months at a time waiting for a patch. The severe underfunding of Safari/webkit coupled with a ban on competition meant that it was never going to be viable to ship Web Apps to iOS. So the question is, how do you convince the worlds richest company to invest a extra few hundred million/year into their own browser?

The answer is competition. Competition provides Apple a deep incentive to produce a capable, feature risk browser at risk of losing users to the other vendors. Each 1% of Safari users is worth 150m/year in google search revenue, a number so large it would make even Apple take notice.

As web developers we see the value in having browser engine competition, many of us lived through the IE6 era and know the risks of the monopolistic competitive behavior like we're seeing from Apple (Side-point: At no point did Microsoft ever ban the competition).

The status-quo where Safari/Webkit was both stifling the Web and Web Apps and providing no competitive pressure on Chrome/Edge/Firefox + the severe underinvestment from Apple meant that a regulatory solution was needed.
Ah yeah that looks like it works for `args`. Unfortunately the issues is way more common with `kwargs`. :-/
If I’m using Firefox with privacy badger, UBlock Origin, privacy possum, cookie and cache deleters, a URL tracker plug in, noscript, https enabled by default, a handful of others that are probably redundant on top of Firefox’s internal tracker protection, do I really stand to benefit from this fork?

In other words, is this truly necessary?
On Discord or Slack I can copy a screenshot and send it to loads of people with simply Ctrl-V, I don't have to manually upload to some random image host website and copy and paste links which usually link to some page with a thousand ads.

I can join a voice channel seamlessly, talk to my friends, listen to music together, stream my screen, watch others streaming their screen, build custom interactive bots that manage rich media, send messages from my apps to a channel with webhooks which I can create in seconds, see what other people are playing or listening to, reply with custom emotes, create threads, add syntax highlighted code blocks, etc. I could go on for an hour.

None of the old school 1998 irc channels had these capabilities and I'm sick of everyone on HN pretending like it's the same thing. If it was, people would use it.
I'm actually writing this on Brave on MacOS. I also have Chrome. I practically never use Safari. (I don't have an iPhone, though.)

Nobody thinks that, but:

1. English is an unusually compact language. If you watch dubbed movies you will notice that the characters often have to talk extremely fast compared to the original and much dialogue is rephrased to be simpler. They can't refilm the sequences so in languages that take more words, the dialogue must be simplified.

2. A lot of people won't get dubbed versions anyway, so they'll be watching it as a foreign language.
I work for a large State agency, the last type of employer I ever thought would be flexible, and for all staff — support/secretarial, managerial, and attorneys — we are on a permanent (optional) hybrid model. Non-attorney staff can opt for a minimum of 1 day/week WFH, with the highest “ranking” able to do 3 days/week WFH. Some attorneys have worked out more WFH days but most of us are in the office 5 days a week now that we can be.

Not that it relates directly to tech jobs, but now that a work-from-home model has proven to be functional it seems like it should become more and more prevalent across the board.
