> The anchor is sad about being dragged?

This, to me, summarizes the problem. Comparing an entire group of people to a heavy metal object at the bottom of the sea. It’s a tempting dismissal, sure, but will never help someone stuck in their ideology see beyond it.

> nor are the minds of those who are dug in

And is it any wonder that those minds will not change when we hold nothing but disdain and shout at each other?

I am convinced that we will not solve these issues without focusing on the tribalism and identity politics that sit at the core of it all.

I don’t see an anchor being dragged. I see people who see their way of life threatened, and are willing to fight against that.

This doesn’t excuse the behavior, or make it valid. But it’s also not terribly surprising when you look at how conversations about this across ideologies usually go.
I thought she looked fine in The Northman, but that also was a very dark/dimly lit movie.
Only some airplane transportation. Supersonic commercial air travel is less accessible now than it was 50 years ago. Inter-city rail travel is much less accessible now than 80 years ago.

More to the point, you've assuming the conclusion. If we could distill and pump water from the Pacific Ocean to Arizona at cost-effective rates then yes, it would be a significant technological innovation.

But knowing that it would be a significant technological innovation doesn't make it happen. We don't have many flying cars, even though the technology has been around for decades. Yet cheap flying cars would be a significant technological innovation, yes?

We already have the ability to transport Pacific water from the Carlsbad Desalination Plant in San Diego to Arizona, via the road system. If your argument has merit, then we should be seeing the existing price getting lower, right?

What isn't the price going down fast enough to meet the obvious demand?
It is generally accepted that elliptical curge cryptography is a bit easier to break with Shor's algorithm than RSA. Something like half as hard, but it probably would not make any real difference in practice. So the paper is directly applicable to elliptic curves to the extent that it is applicable to anything.
These surveys are compelled speech. Freedom of speech not only means you are free to speak out, but that you can not be compelled to speak.

What I'm really saying is that the obvious direct effects of climate change are likely going to be blamed on people.

It's going to get to the point where a poor person can't live in Mumbai - literally, you can't survive exposure to the temperatures that are going to happen. But when those people move north to escape the heat, their migration is going to be blamed on all the things we blame current migration on, rather than the reality that they'd likely die if they stayed where they were. Oh and guess how many poor people there are in Mumbai.

I just did "tour de france 2022 stage 4" and "intitle: tour de france 2022 stage 4". For me the results are close but notably the first several results went from an average video length of ~4 minutes to ~40 minutes, including someone's two-hour-long stream.

Maybe it really depends on what you're searching for. But I also rarely see many irrelevant results, including for this search.
Are there any demographics information about the people who spend a lot of money on microtransactions? There’s obviously a decent chunk of the population who does but Im not aware of anyone in my circles with this habit. Is it mostly children?
100% this. Being compatible with nodejs API makes it possibly useful, unlike some other projects which want to throw away the huge npm ecosystem. Why on earth would anyone use JS (or even TS) server side if not to benefit from the ecosystem? Unlike on the web, there are plenty of better languages to use if you don't want npm.
Would be interested to hear a signal processing perspective on this problem. I feel like splines might be susceptible to creating false information (e.g. ringing/overshoot), but I don't know enough about it.

Sounds to me like it isn't so optional, and of course how hard would it be to move it from optional to non-optional?
Likely hacked/purchased browser extensions
That bugged me. No way could someone on a Captain's salary (or even what he was being paid as a test pilot if on reserve status) afford one.
It's because the interface console itself is a big part of the cost and complexity of the thing. The simulator requires the console and input manipulators to use, so they can't train on it while it's being used for surgury. Hospitals could buy a second console to use exclusively with the simulator but that's a multi hundred thousand dollar piece of equipment.

Surgeons can take a few practice simulations in the Sim, but it's just that doing so ties up the robot from doing real cases at that time also.
Like if you dont like the US NIST standards there is the Japanese CRYPTREC, and European NESSIE. Alot the same algos as NIST though.
If it stops beeping you've slowed down too much.

Very convenient.
The Muana Kea claim is highly questionable. The only complete and sound definition of the "base" of a mountain would make the height the same as topographic prominence, and by definition the highest peak must also have the greatest prominence (whereas other peaks will vary wildly in ordering).
It's a solved problem

I wrote a similar thing with a Qt based GUI that, I think, exposes a little more information (more of the kernel's page flags). It reaches a quite respectable update rate for what it's doing (>=40 fps or so?) and it's fun to watch, though I haven't found particularly useful, err, uses.

> Here in the U.S., at least, what has widely been maligned as "COVID denialism" was actually a deeper and more nuanced conversation about whether sudden, sweeping changes to society would prevent more harm than they cause.

Sorry, but that's historical revisionism, and I'm not going to let you get away with it.

"Covid is a liberal hoax" was the starting point in the US. That was neither nuanced nor deep. That was pure denialism.

> it's indeed unclear that draconian policies in the name of public health were a net positive.

I believe that the data we have from Sweden vs other Nordic countries (which did real lockdowns) contradicts that narrative. Both Norway and Denmark have around half the deaths normalized per capita of Sweden (Denmark a little above--Norway a little below half).
It's more like we are stuck in a confined space and slowly gassing ourselves with CO2 and we are arguing over turning the engine off.

Oh, wait, no, it is literally that.
What do you use for a laptop?
We have not been able to implement even a single logical qubit of the sort required to run Shor's algorithm (we would need thousands). It is impossible to extrapolate from zero.
That sounds much better. I would freak out if my car would accelerate or decelerate on its own, especially when it does not have to. As other people have said, I do not think the technology is there yet. Maybe in major cities, highways it might be possible, eventually, but forget A LOT of roads.
I'm afraid I don't follow. Can you describe what you want in more detail?
Switzerland’s 20M kWh ‘water battery’ is now operational
It can, they can plumb things up with pumps to simulate whatever.

This same limitation applies to simulators though, so this application isn't an answer to the parent comments question.
Oof, good to know. So it was a calendar issue? Did you ever contact Fastmail support about it?
This is naive and assumes that there aren’t bigger, badder actors to deal with - Facebook, Google, and others can and will abuse their position. This will make the iPhone worse for everyone, especially if chrome manages a dominant position and developers can stop supporting safari. It will probably make my Mac worse, too.

I still haven’t heard a single good reason why people who want sideloading can’t just use Android. iPhone isn’t even close to dominant in Europe.

Hands. Off. My. iPhone.
Dbt vs. Delta Live Table – The Battle for T in ELT
The idea that the digital world is launching us into another "Dark Age" is probably overselling the issue. Let's look at how much actually survives from the pre-Dark Ages.

The complete corpus of Classical Latin and Greek literature can be found in the Loeb Classical Library. Which easily fits on a couple of bookshelves in your study (note that the books consist of the original text and a translation on the facing page). With a couple more volumes, of the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum, we can also add to our collection every single identified piece of inscription, including even an entire volume on mileposts. Similarly thorough works will doubtless exist for all classical languages, even non-European ones like Mayan or Chinese.

Now walk into a library, even the tiny library of a small town. You are surrounded by more written text than survives from likely not only Classical Antiquity but all of human history through 1500. Even in the digital age, we are still producing more written text than most of human history. Probably, we are preserving a larger fraction of texts than were preserved from the Classical era. It's telling that the complaints of the loss of preservation are of the kinds of ephemera which don't exist for most periods of history. (Also telling that the person complaining about this loss of preservation is a "senior Research Software Engineer" and not a historian or archivist or similar field that actually deals with preserving or working with preserved data.)
As I understand, you just have to have "cruise control" turned off, and these things will not happen.
I would be confused as well, since every car I've driven that has manual controls for these have been the opposite: push for low beam, pull for high beam: stalk goes down for right turn, up for left turn, steering wheel...

...

oh wait. You are trying to trick me, aren't you!
Great readme, and definitely made me want to play with it. I was raised on procedural programming and never really got into proper functional programming, but somehow this just clicked for me.
On the flipside it seems like we could really easily end up in a situation like the whole thing about dinosaurs having feathers.

If the 10% of surviving information isn't a representative sample of the other 90%, the conclusions future historians will draw will be very wrong.
It's got "Communist" in the title.

For all I know it might not even be about communism in anything other than a metaphorical sense. I'd certainly assume that from the context.

Yet someone it feels like you're insinuating that he writes books advocating a communist revolution.

That feels dishonest. Maybe it's not but with throwaway comments like this, my hackles rise.

Would I be correct in assuming you've not read the book, either?
How many different servers of non-systemd and systemd types, have you set up and managed?

Where you had ultimate responsibility for the correct operation of the box and any VMs or services that it ran?

The reason I ask, is that despite running many more non-systemd than systemd boxes over the past 22 years, I have had far more time taken up by systemd issues than issues with other init script systems. And that includes Solaris both sysV and SMF based.
If done with the intent "to encourage intellectual diversity." Yes. At the point where you have intellectuals being required to register their views with the government, you're veering heavily into red scare territory.
The thing about simulation in radiation oncology is its more focused on simulation of the physics of the beam delivery, and not so much on simulation of the tissue or human body portion of the equation. This is more the latter.
So he should really have known better. Malice or incompetence?
Yes... To people who already have or are susceptible to mental health issues. Alcohol or any other intoxicants, including prescription drugs could be just as dangerous for these types of people.
Germany, at least for ordinary immigrants.

Stop laughing and hear me out: when you apply for a residence permit, you have an initial consultation appointment at an office in your town or county where, after reviewing your form, you are then given a checklist of documents and the expected application fee to bring to your next appointment, based on your particular circumstances. Outside of Covid times, and even during the massive wave of refugees from Syria, that was typically within a few weeks.

Show up with the requested documents and photos and pay the fee (into a machine, get a printed receipt, no human touches your money), get a receipt for your application and an estimated pickup date for your shiny residence permit (and ID).

When I went to renew my residence permit around year 4, the clerk helpfully asked if what I really wanted was an application for a permanent residence permit. Hadn’t occurred to me - I thought it was 5 years of residency, but it’s only 3 if you’re married to a German citizen.

No lawyers involved, no anxious weeks without my passport, all at a cost that was less than 300 EUR a pop. Far less drama and expense than I’ve heard from acquaintances who have tried getting a German or other EU citizen spouse through the US Green Card process.

Bureaucracy is good when it’s clear in its demands.
In some jurisdictions there may also be additional regulations that cover specific services or utilities, that cannot be disclaimed away. E.g. perhaps water or electricity utilities. Not sure if this extends to internet utilities, TV, etc.

Here is a podcast [1] discussing a particular case of recovering damages from service provider that performed inspections of fire sprinkler systems. part of the argument was such services were some kind of core / essential service regulated by the state. One interesting detail of this was that the argument that fire sprinkler inspection services were subject to state regulation was a novel argument that hadn't been specifically covered in case law, and the service provider would NOT want a precedent to be established that they could not limit liability, so this was a significant motivating factor to settle quickly and pay damages.

Here is another podcast about limits of liability in service contracts [2]. A lot of the discussion is about burglar alarms that fail to go off & related issues.

The mass extinction has been definitively traced to coincidence with the comet strike of 10818 BCE.

Actual proof that each extinction was actually directly caused will be harder to come by. E.g. maybe dire wolves died because their prey went extinct. And, we still don't know why bison survived.

The benchmark numbers for React server-side rendering are really impressive. How does bun manage to be so much faster, especially considering that React SSR is actually fairly compute-intensive (building up a DOM tree and all)?
It reminds me of a recent HN story telling us not to trust any number you see in a news story.
Despite their name, rare earth elements aren't rare at all - in fact, they're all over the place. They're in the US, Canada, Brazil, Australia, Vietnam, China, India, Russia - and of course Turkey. [1]

Most of the refining takes place in China, though, because only China is willing to pay the toxic environmental cost associated with actually doing so. This is what that process looks like. [2]

It's good to diversify the supply to be sure, but the question is, will Turkey be willing to pay the environmental cost of refining? Or will China continue to take that on. We're not short of input ore, so if not, I suspect the market will continue to look much like it does in spite of this discovery.

OSS-Security: Denial of service in GnuPG sent to public mailing list
This has happened to me several times over the years, where some topic only half-understood in college suddenly becomes clear. It feels as if some part of my mind was slowly chewing on it all this time, and finally finished its work.
> So that's why you make sure your assumptions and claims match what happened.

Ah yes, of course. Like everyone in this thread, and every other culture war based thread on HN eh? Everyone is super seriously making sure that their statements are free of error, and signs of uncertainty are far more plentiful than high confidence.

> For instance, anyone who claims that the economic impact was solely the result of government action, and that no private individuals or organizations changed their behavior independently, is ignoring the timeline of events.

> Anyone who claims that the vaccines didn't change things so that post-vaccine policies could have been equally successful pre-vaccines, is ignoring the stats.

The mind tends to be drawn to easy, clear cut scenarios, but tends to be highly averse to wading into scenarios where certainty is not so obvious.

> All this stuff is pretty easily googleable in the current and past-two-years news records, and yet you still get lots of people here making arguments based on completely different claimed facts.

Agreed....and this is an intelligent forum, on a relative basis anyways - which is another thing one can notice: people have a tendency to think only in relative terms. "I am clearly much more intelligent than those Trump supporters, therefore I must be intelligent [on an absolute scale]". How many flaws like this are hardwired into human consciousness, running completely sub-perceptually, turning our perception of what is all around us into a gross misrepresentation completely without our knowledge?

What if this actually is a big deal, but we can't be bothered to even consider the possibility?
> This kind of thing is what jury nullification is for.

It's not a crime so jury nullification doesn't apply.
Thanks, that was really interesting read :)
Agreed, I've also been following his work for a while now. Jarred is pulling off something very impressive here :) Congratulations on the public beta!
For one, your timeline is way off. Within the time period of GTK2 and GTK3 that would be more like Linux kernel v2.6 and v3.19. Yes there are still some projects I know of using these, but for the most part they're not viable, certainly not if you want any of the new features that will probably not be backported. The mantra holds true for most. The tiny group that it doesn't hold for is on the hook for paying support costs indefinitely.

Right now, native packaging isn't a viable option for a lot of things and it hasn't been for some time, have a look at the success of Docker.
i walk 5 miles 4-7 days a week and if everyone did just that and nothing else it would eliminate a great majority of health issues. I am 37 and plan to do this until I no longer can. Walking is the perfect exercise in that you can easily multitask with a podcast, phone call, listening to music, writing/dictating. It is very low impact so the likelihood of injury is pretty low. You can do it anywhere on earth and need only a good pair of shoes.
John LeCarre explicitly describes George Smiley as short, overweight, and balding. None of these apply to Alec Guinness or Gary Oldman in their respective portrayals of the character. This doesn’t make their portrayals any less arresting.
In no way is anything you said in either post of use to anyone.

If I am in my house, use 1000 W of electricity, get 3000 W of heating, that is what is important. No shit the extra heat comes from the environment. It doesn't matter unless you live within a house completely located inside an artificial climate-controlled area, which applies to... none. No houses.
So far they are meeting or beating the expectations set for pre-order customers. My own order was targeted at Q3 (July - Oct) and I got my order completion link on 6/30. Currently they list only "After Q3", so def hard to know what that means, but it does seem that they are catching up.
Thanks for the reminder. For fun, with this reasoning we could also say Napoleon III indirectly birthed Bell Labs since he funded Bell’s Volta lab?
You said "NIST worked together with NSA to allow/insert backdoors into cryptography". It's been pointed out a couple times now that neither NIST nor NSA designed these schemes; they were submitted by the highest-profile academic cryptography research teams in the world. You aren't being asked to trust NIST in any meaningful way.

The closest analog to NIST I can think of is ECRYPT and the eSTREAM contest. It produced interesting work and you could follow it in much the same way people followed these last two NIST competitions. But for PQ KEMs, it's likely that NIST's will be the "competition of record".
The military ran a great program. Their successful failure led to the modern convention in thought control.

In the past decades the Arian brotherhood and their rape prisons were more successful in power than the United states military.
