If you want a good series that's more "realistic" but along the same lines of interesting cat / mouse play, check out the John Rain series by Barry Eisler. It's extremely, meticulously well researched.

Ancestry.com is a very well designed product with lots of data and a powerful network effect. I designed a search products for incident response data - also high volume, noisy but highly relational data set - ancestry’s design is very thoughtful.

The monthly subscription carries no commitment and you don’t lose data when not subscribed. So don’t think of it as “$xx per month commitment is so expensive!” But instead as “I’d happily pay $20 this month to support the research I want to do. Next month, we’ll see.” I’ve subscribed / stopped / resubscribed several times over the years as the time I have ebbs and flows.
thank you—it's disappointing that trying to get people to articulate why they feel a certain way about something is met with such pushback. the parent comment to yours is especially baffling—I can't imagine publicly telling someone that what they've written is "gross" without being able to directly explain why, because that just seems unjustly offensive to me. as an amateur Internet ethnographer I have theories about the pathology of course, but there's no point in sharing them here.

Not sure where the author gets this idea, especially considering that the Z9 uses a sensor made by Sony [0]. Yes, technically it is made by Sony Semiconductor and not Sony Imaging, but they are still the same company.

There's absolutely no story. Zilch. Nil. Why is this movie praised?

Self regulation (like FINRA) only works when parties are incorporated within a US jurisdiction and expulsion means getting locked out of a large market. How many cryptocurrency entities does that apply to? Of course, providing a stable and consistent set of rules and reasonable judicial process is what makes Delaware the best state for incorporation. Something like that in the US might bring more parties to the table.

I would say for side projects, your best bet is just to make a blog and talk about them, that's what I do anyway [1]. The projects themselves can live wherever, such as a VPS etc. For blog posts these days there are IMO two choices to make:

1. Self publish, I.e. Host the blog yourself. There are many options but I personally go with Hugo/Netlify which uses git and markdown as my "backend" and has the upside of basically being free.

2. Use a publishing service such as Medium or Substack. This is easier, but you have less control over your content that you would self publishing.

Irrespective of this, getting people to read anything you write is the hardest part. You need to share your content, talk to people etc, it takes time.

Can the author prove that he is sentient, in a different class than the computer program?
Remember, it did have a sequel, U.S. Marshals in 1998, but it didn't do well at the box office.
Down to earth is the key I think. So many action films these days are "save the world" or some sort of incredibly over the top world-changing maguffin. Just a guy trying to escape going to prison for a crime he didn't commit is infinitely more relatable that it makes a massive train derailment seem down to earth.
Citations needed. I worked on an organic vineyard for a summer and I can tell you it took a lot of work to get that label.

Non-organic vineyards in our area had barren earth or gravel under the stalks as they used weedkillers regularly. In contrast, we practiced “turf flipping” where we would, with clever machine and hard work, turn the soil over to smother weeds. The soil was alive and rich with the longest earthworms I’ve ever seen. This took incomparably more time than spraying chemicals but we believed in the mission. And the extra money from labeling it organic didn’t come close to covering the extra effort.

In some cases at least, the label means something.
What is the questioners line of reasoning if they haven't made any claims? If they have made a mixture of claims and questions then they can have flaws but its misleading to call them "questioners" at that point, since they've done more than just ask questions.

> Their stubbornness in pursuing a contradiction only succeeds if there is a contradiction they were already aware of

I don't think this is true at all. You can recognize a statement of the form "X is not X" without having come across it before. As for the stubbornness, this can apply to both parties: the contradiction only appears when the answering party can't bring themselves to say "I don't know", "I assume", or "I don't have time for this"
I'm planning on purchasing an electric car when I replace the car I drive now. After looking into it, I was disappointed to find out that all of us switching to a battery electric cars won't make that big a dent in global greenhouse gas emissions. Cars are responsible for only around 15% of these global GHG emissions (see [1], [2]).

Furthermore, a battery electric vehicle produces approximately 180 of grams of CO2 per km (counting life cycle emissions). This is sometimes better than gasoline powered vehicles that produce about 240 g/km. In locations where coal is generating the utility electricity for charging, it turns out that gasoline powered cars do better than battery electric vehicles! (see [3]) The big win happen if you can charge the car on purely renewable energy.

I've regretted reading many times in the past. Case in point - this site wasting hours of my time, as well as plenty of stories that I just couldn't tear myself away from even though it was hours past bed o'clock causing exhaustion.

(Tongue in cheek, but not really)
It’s (generally, though not always) a proxy for “premium” food; so it’s useful to me as a consumer in that sense. But yeah, the idea that “organic” has any meaningful benefit is flimsy even when the definition is strict.
For exactly that reason. Sometimes people just want mindless action and fun setpieces, and John Wick movies respect that. Many action movies try and force in some inane plot, or add a romance subplot, or digress from the actual point of the movie: Action and spectacle.

It's not my cup of tea, but I certainly respect it for knowing exactly what it is.
> his problem is that he willingly published his name on the internet and now doesn’t want people to know it, via Google or any search index. The AI did not glean any PII about him that

He consented and if this is the legal basis, he has the right to withdraw the consent at any time without reason. The data then has to be removed. This is done by search engines on regular bases, e.g. DMCA Takedowns.

> Hehe, are you joking? You must be young because people have been expecting this information explosion and archival for a hundred years and more, and people were talking about using the whole internet for AI training ever since the internet and neural networks were invented, complaining that we didn’t have the computational power yet, more than 50 years ago

To average Joe this is still something out of the realm of science fiction. They are still wondering if the phone is listening to them if they get ads of products that they are talking about.

> Leave this up to the workers to choose how they want to work.

while it sounds good, i dont think this works universally. The problem with letting workers choose themselves is that the workplace might not be setup properly for it - e.g., if some workers chose WFH, but there's no good culture for meetings to be held remotely, they miss out or must actively get informed via alternative channels.

Or if a worker choose office, but they're the only one on location (and all their colleagues chose WFH), then they might not actually get the benefits of an office (such as socialization or face to face meetings & body language communications).

So self-sorting thru companies might be a better option.

I don't have much time for gaming these days, and so when I do I want it to be good. So I browse the local buy-and-sell and pick up the classics every now and then.

This winter I picked up all three Mass Effects and played the first two through for the first time. Loved them, and will definitely get to the third when the snows come around again.

I think Deus Ex is one of those games every gamer should play through - it's like reading a classic - so what if the graphics and gameplay are a bit outdated, the philosophical debates with psychotic AI alone are worth it!
On my F31 (which I no longer have) I thought doing that just put the gearbox in sport mode, but to change the engine response you still need the buttons. Need to try it in my G series sometime.
But, they pretty commonly used macro assemblers, so they could have used macros to emulate more complex addressing modes. I think code density and performance had a bigger impact than developer ergonomics on the decision to implement the more complex addressing modes in hardware instead of assembler macros.
You mean like the current, openly promoted attempts to perform a similar "coup" on judicial decisions? There are very few cases where protest is illegal, and at a judge's residence to influence their decisions is definitely one of them.

Azure App Insights can do Debug Snapshot collection, but it’s not the only such tool. It just makes the workflow quick and simple.

Ref: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-monitor/snapsho...

It works even better with DevOps source indexing added to the build pipeline:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/task...

A vaguely similar feature is Azure App Service memory leak diagnostic tools which take memory dumps on certain triggers or at intervals.

You can open these in Visual Studio and it’ll show the heap deltas over time.
I used a Macbook Pro 13 (Intel i7) for a little more than a year. And after that I have been using an identical Macbook Pro 13 (ARM M1). The only differences I have noticed are:

- the ARM laptop never gets hot to the touch

- fan spin up is extremely rare on this, compared to Intel, where it would go full throttle on a video call or if I connect a 1440p monitor

- the battery life is at least 6-7x on this

These are amazing improvements and I will wholeheartedly recommend this over the Intel Macbooks. However, one thing I haven't noticed is any difference in performance. I admit my usage does not include webkit compilations. I use browsers with lots of open tabs, google meet calls, slack, VS code with python projects. Both laptops have served well, but they haven't blown me away with speed. My Ryzen 5 desktop feels lightning fast by comparison.
Not sure how relevant it is but the two examples you linked really aren't that comparable, the EBay one you linked is a significantly cheaper construction. You can find the identical thing on Amazon for basically the same price (for me, it's "on sale" and slight cheaper): https://www.amazon.com/Digital-Caliper-Adoric-Calipers-Measu...

That said I do agree, I think EBay ends up being better than Amazon for many items, I'm just not sure this is a great example. The one I linked is the second one in the Amazon search results, but then the first one is a lot better so I'm not really sure if this cheap one should be first anyway.
I think this is the paradox's greatest weakness: whataboutism :-)

Karl Popper is not talking about today's progressives, because he died in 1994. The closest extension we can reasonably draw does not include them either, because Popper exclusively identified totalitarian ideologies with reactionary beliefs[1].

It's very easy to use the PoT as a blunt weapon, and there are some embarrassing applications of it on the political left. But none are quite as embarrassing as suggesting that Popper might seriously entertain "free debate" with a Nazi.

It's close but you do pay a performance cost for garbage collection (with Go, Java, and Crystal all being garbage collected). There are some benchmarks at the following link, but note that many of the examples are hyper-optimized so you should look at the implementations to make sure the results aren't misleading. As an example though if you don't want to click, the nbody benchmark clocks the slowest C++ program at 387ms compared to Crystal at 580ms

And they are tuned differently in different vehicles and different manufacturers. BMW does it the best IMHO out of those using that ZF transmission.

> Why not just use multi processing?

Multiprocessing provides parallelism up to what the machine supports, but no additional degree of concurrency, asyncio provides a fairly high degree of concurrency, but no parallelism.

OF course, you can use them together to get both.

The problem isn't finding a diet that works: anything that reduces calories below maintenance does it. The problem is what a person will stick to. Different people find different diets to be easier to stick to. If they're luck they find one that leads to a spontaneous reduction of calories consumed and don't need to count.
My understanding of the pro life view is that if someone chooses to put sperm in there, they are agreeing to give up some bodily autonomy and carry the child to birth.
The box office was apparently like 4x the budget. Are those directly comparable? It seems to me that, even if they aren't making Disney money, a studio ought to be able to keep the lights on if they can reliably quadruple their investments.
I can't disagree more with many comments on here in response to if it's pissing away time playing video games.

I mean, I guess I don't really play CoD vs more narrative games, so I can't speak to that specifically, but I greatly credit my time in virtual worlds with a lot of my intellectual flexibility.

In my experience there's a palpable benefit to exploring impossible worlds and carrying out a personal story shaped by my actions within them. Making hard decisions that I would never be faced with in reality informs me about myself, and encountering stimuli well beyond what reality has on tap conditions me to look beyond the box in what reality does throw at me.

I can't really say that any other medium or activity offers the same mental exercise as an engrossing game.

To each their own, and people are welcome to decide that they found a greater purpose in a national park vs a spaceship exploring unknown worlds. But people are also welcome to find greater purpose in the other.

As someone who does (though I find variety the spice of life and also do enjoy national parks - just not as much), it's interesting the ways in which people pass judgment on each other, and themselves.

I'd value a gamer spending decades in video games over a monk spending decades mediating and in a vow of silence, and yet I suspect given the general fetishizing of traditionalism and demonizing of modernism many would disagree and see one as pursuit of a higher truth and the other as a pursuit of nihilism.

It's useful to check in with oneself as to if our choices are actually giving us value or are an escape from things that would give us greater value. But if they really do give you value, then value them. And if they do not, don't make the mistake of thinking that equation would hold true for others as well.
Same here as well. This age of BMW was known for having a great UX, from the computer system to the drive controls.
What a surprise: TV shows are made to reflect the current public perception of the world so they appeal more watchers. News at 11.

Star Trek isn't alone in this shift. Budget and special effects aside, could anyone imagine the remake of Battlestar Galactica (a show I didn't like at all, btw), Breaking Bad, Lost etc. in the 80s along the cheesy shows of that time? Of course not as they could only be conceived after a certain set of events, which very likely are 9/11 and the following absurd Iraq invasion; those events changed everything in what we think of the world and the people around us, including our own governments.
Actually, TV shows were already transitioning to a less optimistic view of our society, which, speaking of SciFi, is clearly noticeable in B5 and DS9, but I think those events marked a milestone.

Also, from the 80s to the early 2000s, the biggest change affecting our society has been the ability to be online and engage in public discussion with others, which brought even more stimuli and opportunities -whether for the good or bad it's completely subjective- further accelerating our normal social evolution; the world has changed virtually centuries in 20 years. I couldn't imagine anyone seriously thinking of shooting today a remake of The A-Team series in which they maintain its original thousands bullets shot every episode but nobody dies format.

That's completely false.

While the label "organic" may have been hijacked and rendered largely meaningless by government agencies like the FDA and their corporate masters, there is indeed a difference between food produced using chemicals, pesticides, antibiotics and growth hormones (among other things), and food that is produced naturally without these drugs, poisons and other additives. That some people dispute the fact that there is a measurable difference in health outcomes when consuming food produced "naturally" vs food produced with a host of drugs, chemicals and poisons is irrelevant to the fact that the word "organic" actually has a meaning, and people who choose to consume food produced without drugs, chemicals and poisons should be free to do so (even if this is considered silly by those who believe that the drugs, chemicals and poisons used to produce their food have no measurable effects).
I was DevOps at my last job but accepted a new job just as a developer. When I was DevOps, I was also system admin, SecOps, etc. I was always on call and had no real backup. Luckily most things I had set up just worked, but honestly it wasn't worth the stress. It wasn't consant stress, just a sudden surge of stress during certain deployments or problems.
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent just came out this year. The plot was a bit over the top, but that was the point, and it was thoroughly enjoyable. Blackkklansman came out the same year as this article, and even though it was more comedy drive then most action movies, it had a down to earth plot of a black policeman infiltrating the KKK organization.

I agree that most action movies today have a pretty seen-it-before grandiose plot. But movies with down-to-earth original plots still come out (occasionally).
How did your multi-person office space cost less than a single-person studio apartment? Regardless of your answer, that's unreasonable for YC startups which "need" office space.
I like that it has two gears (I own one).
what about Prisoners, In the bedroom, The guilty (2018), Good time, Oldboy (original, not from Hollywood though), Collateral, End of watch, Training day, Drive, etc. - all these were released after and they are better movies (most of them more thrillers than action though, but some straight up action), I can't really recommend exactly same alternative since I don't watch stupid action flicks like Fugitive, now that I have much more options than in 90s
I don't know if there's a market anymore for movies like this that won't "become a unicorn".
One that comes to mind is collateral.
