I suspect that the majority of the public disapproved of Roe when it was decided, too.
Flânerie is just idle strolling. I don't need to justify it to others by making it sound grandiose. I agree it is enjoyable.
I think the number of people killed by speeding cars is much higher than the number of people that would be killed by your hypothetical scenario, in any given time frame.

That being said, the article specifies that the limiter can be overridden by pushing the pedal through.
I would love to figure out a way to filter this thread by who does and doesn't have children, and what ages, etc.

Either way, I have a 10 year old who's played for a few years now. Like many here, I really tried to avoid it, and for us, it was the pandemic. This is just where the friends were.

Anyway, I think we're doing okay with it. Back then, she was only allowed to play on a big screen-ish computer in a place where anyone in the family could she was doing -- and even "allowed" here feels weird, because this was never a discussion or a fight, that's just how things are for my kids, for now.

So I've peeped in on the chat a bunch, she just knows that sometimes I will be over her shoulder, and frankly I get a big kick out of putting on a ridiculous narrating voice for her little dragon role-plays.

She now has her own computer that she can play in her room by herself if she likes -- but, and maybe this is just our parenting thing, we can always go into her room. If the door is closed, we do knock -- but I've literally never been "rejected" here. In fact the only time I can recall her requesting privacy, it was a phone call with a boy (who we know, whos parents we know, etc).

So yeah, not that stranger danger doesn't exist, from here it really feels like this isn't much a function of "roblox" or even "the internet/computers?"
I have a friend who used to live in the Outer Hebrides islands. I called it his "God-Forsaken Scottish Rock."

Fairly bleak place, and he had crap Internet service.

Looks like his [former] place is ... juuuuusssst ... out of band.
I heard there was some work in adding inhibitory neurons at least. Progress!
If Web of trust is just your real life friends (the parent controls who that list is) then yes.

Beyond that there is no trust.
A data leak exposes China’s vast surveillance state
Indian influence wasn't unknown before then; Marco Polo traveled to India in the late 13th century, and he may not have been the first.
They're mid-acquisition so the rules are different atm.
They smell funny because they don't share Western and some Asian norms of cleanliness. Not because they eat "different food".

I ate some form of curry every single day for lunch for 6 months while my ship was in the Dubai Drydocks, as the Drydocks offered lunch for around $2 a meal and their choices were "Continental" - a.k.a., bland as fuck "European" food, "Asian" - a.k.a., whatever Filipinos normally eat, and "Indian" - a.k.a., food from the nation of India.

Every single day I was on duty and in the drydocks, which was literally every other day, I made my order for the Indian meal, because it was always delicious... chicken vindaloo, dal tadka, dal makhani, naan bread, Basmati rice, etc. That's 90+ days of eating Indian food. I often ate at Indian restaurants in Dubai when I wasn't on duty.

I never "smelled funny"... because I took a fucking shower every day and used soap. If you're living in America, you can afford soap. A 16 ounce bottle of Suave body wash is $0.99 at Walmart. And every single state has a Walmart... hell, almost every city has a Walmart.
Is that price also for commercial? It seems like a decent deal for a cruise ship or monitoring offshore equipment worth millions of dollars.

350mbit can be sold ands split across 1000pax in on a cruise ship at $5/day so you’d have the fee covered on day 1.
I used to call this "getting lost on purpose". In a foreign city, I would leave my hotel and just head out. Get on a bus without knowing where it goes and ride for a while. See something interesting, get off and take a look. Maybe walk a while, and get on another bus. At some point you either decide to try to get back on your own, or you look for a taxi and ask for your hotel.
Lol, touche. I hope for all our sake that you are eventually correct, though I fear we'll be extinct before that's ever the case
You're absolutely right that much of the energy on a thread like this comes from those who have been rejected. Did you notice how much more pleasant your interactions with partnered men tend to be? That's likely has a multi-layered cause but it's easy to see why it makes your job on the dating market harder.

What's wrong with being judgmental? You've allowed yourself to be at various junctures but often seem to feel guilty about it later. I do sympathize: "Judgmental" doesn't have a great connotation. Yet decisive and discerning do and signify something similar.

As you've noted, it's not essential you discuss this with a universe of strangers. I do hope you're comfortable with your judgmental side with others you're closed to so you can get to the bottom of the misalignment between initial indicia of attraction and the factors that make a relationship with you successful in the long term.

This comment largely confirms my thesis about you: You're someone who has spent your life trying to be good in various senses and through various ways. You put a ton of pressure on yourself. A lot of good can flow from that for the people towards whom you direct your goodness and for yourself as you've developed a reputation as someone who does good things. It can also be costly because despite our conditioning, our striving to be higher purer beings, we're still animals with various needs some of which are more difficult to acknowledge. Sometimes we desperately want conflicting things.
You just described Reddit, right?
Congrats to the team at Fly.io. I can only imagine how lucky they felt to have Thomas. I'm sure having that level of expertise and experience in house made the process relatively smooth.

> You’re going to write a bunch of policies. It’s up to you how seriously you’re going to take this.

I think this is one of the most important points in the article. SOC2 is going to hold you to these policies so they better make sense for your business, the nature of the product, and how your company works. Creating well written policies is an art though.
The idea is that the ships go up to another starlink and then down to a base station.
It is as gibberish as your original comment read to me. There’s this undercurrent in your arguments that Russia was always going to do this, like an inevitable force of nature, and Ukraine just has to/ had to get out of the way.

If you don’t hold that assumption, like myself, then your viewpoint seems absurd
Yes the vehicle that’s too heavy to cross a not insignificant percentage of bridges within the U.S. has its use cases.
In addition to location mattering as others have pointed out, time also matters a lot. Charge up during the day, you might be using solar. At night, that isn't likely anymore.

I don’t think it would make much difference either way if they were not involved in fraud. Its when you start to break laws that these things begin to matter.
I wonder if you could build a pizza over similarly?
I'm not sure about the cooking power but in terms of the scale of things, if the earth were a golf ball, a 2000km wide coronal mass ejection would indeed be like shooting a bullet in a random direction at a golf ball half a kilometer away.

Is there a possibility here that Elon Musk may not actually, realistically be able to afford the deal? The Tesla shares he has not already leveraged are imploding in value, and there are some severe legal implications of him trying to firesale the ownership portions he has left.

Like what happens if the banks who signed onto this mess decide to pull their funding for the deal?

> ... so I've moved to the dark side of the spectrum, towards clis

Do you mean the best side? CLIs are were the power is at, because it's the only place you can convert human thought into instructions the computer can understand. It's the only place raw desire can be converted into a string of demands that the computer can meet. GUIs offer a static sub-set of this functionality in exchange for accessibility of the masses (which is fine... Instagram doesn't need to be a CLI tool.)

> There's hope in TUI like apps: like cashiers softwares terminals

When I worked in a Vodafone call centre many, many moons ago, we had a system actually like this. The F1-F12 function keys were critical and the entire thing was insanely fast. They eventually switched to a web based solution and it was terrible.

Modern technologies favour the technologist, not the end user... they just happen to like it because they have no choice. GUIs, the shite they're built on, hold a monopoly.
Any given ship in the shipping industry probably burns that in fuel per day. Or half day. I think the value proposition is in line. I'll admit it seems expensive from the perspective of our dream sail around the world whilst coding and collecting benjamins from various hustles.
If we're being sufficiently pedantic, then after this process person A would be right where they started and would not be "better off", making the original statement false.
Totally agree. I and two other friends have Teslas and enough solar to cover our charging needs, and I don't believe I'm some crazy anomaly.

Also, all else being equal, an large electric vehicle at least has the potential to use low-CO2 energy, and the grid provides a better place to optimize CO2 output and renewable usage.
We're talking about Hummers here, right?

If their owners wanted to actually go off road, they'd have bought something else. They really have no purpose other than to mark you as a person with more money than sense.
I appreciate seeing a perspective from the "other side" on this. Still, as a small business operator occasionally making B2B purchases, I still find "call for pricing" annoying and assume it will mean that the product is way out of my price range.

Could there be some middle ground? Could you do something like "prices start at $X; additional fees may apply?" At least give us a ballpark number; something from which I can decide if it's worth my time to investigate further.
I'd like to see something that highlights the difference between "technical sales" and "retail sales", or "sales in general". (I'm using the quotes because I'm not quite sure of the terminology, but I think that gets the general idea across.)

Selling, say, a car to the general public is very different from selling a specific and highly technical product to financial engineers. Both "technical salespeople" and "retail sales" seem to have a lot of trouble understanding the differences in techniques and emphasis.
The latest version seems broken. It's not available on Homebrew either.
I hear you. IRC is a mess for anything other than ephemeral text-based communication. (Which I only say because I'm sticking to running irssi in a terminal window. I imagine there are clients that work better for other use cases, like inlining gifs, etc.)

But bouncers and bots have been around since the 1990s. There's nothing particularly ad hoc, informally specified, or bug-ridden about them. They are open source and they've been around for longer than some of their users. Slack, by contrast, is proprietary software used for corporate communication, which comes with its upsides and downsides. IRC is just a different tool to solve a different problem.
This is very well stated and honestly completely sums up most of the political divide between left and right.
Energy used in manufacture is paid back early in the panel's life. This article from 2018 gives a range of 1-4 years, things will have only improved since then. Most panels come with a warranty of 20 years at 90% of original output, so they come out way ahead.

Its disappointing to see this myth repeated over and over again, you should examine the political motivations of the sources that are telling you how dirty panels are. There are externalities to their manufacture but any who tries to convince you they are worse than fossil fuels is being deceptive.

I suppose you and I cared about different aspects of it.

But at least some of the things you enumerated should be possible to add. Maybe file an issue, see what happens.
$5000 a month? Who is this for? I'm a little confused. Seems like even the military would be reluctant at that price point, let alone private boat owners who aren't multimillionaires.

Does this actually matter? Internet cabling vs magical straight lines would amount to less than 1 second difference, so emails/slack/discord/IRC/etc (basically anything except video chat) would barely notice.
Here is a recent case where a driver of a Jeep swerved into the oncoming lane to at high speed try to hit a bicyclist. They were only given a misdemeanor.

This person should not be allowed to drive a motor vehicle. There is almost no consequences for motorists who repeatedly violate the law and risk others' lives. We should be much more aggressive about taking away people's drivers licenses who demonstrate that they are incapable of public safety.

Look at Ukraine, and how Russia flooded it with possibly 10,000+ of its spies.

You read stories of ones who were caught, and you cannot make it it up. Their main recruitment target are idiots in places of high power.

KGB recruited more agents than real spies. They had many more people doing lobbying, covert propaganda, and subversion, than peeking into Western secrets.

They really valued their high profile spies, but their influence agents — "pomogaikas" were near disposable. Finding idiots in places of power was always easier than finding smart, ideologically motivated betrayers fit for espionage assignents.
It's not hindsight when someone warns you beforehand.
Flying is scientifically a well understood and safe thing. Still its the FAA that makes the rules, and engineering that needs to produce robust and reliable systems, and still planes fall out of the sky sometimes..

Ask HN: Should I leave my socio-sentimental local minimum?
Hi HN, obviously posting from a throwaway account. In the recent past, I struggled with depression, due to burnout at work + loneliness. I started getting better with therapy, but I hit another low when once I started recovering, tried to date people, and failed catastrophically at attracting women.

After a couple of relapses, today I can say that I feel way better than before. I have a decent work-life balance, I don't get stressed, I don't have anxiety, I don't have social anxiety, I do exercise, I basically don't care much about stuff. I'm really stable mentally, which to me is a big accomplishment, and have been consistently feeling like this for some months.

I'm usually alone (live alone and work on my own stuff, basically), but from time to time I meet 1 person for lunch (e.g., a colleague from work). I do this, say, once a week or so.

So, now I feel like I have a decent quality of life and good mental stability, a big accomplishment, but at the same time, it's true that I'm suppressing my instinct of trying to date people. I'm purposely avoiding any dating situation, because I know that with very, very high probability, the answer is going to be no, and this might affect my beloved mental stability. While it's tempting to think: "it's a numbers game, it shouldn't affect you, you should try it", in one of the depression relapses I mentioned, what happened was precisely that I got lots of rejections in a row; enough rejections so that I don't take rejections personally anymore; a single rejection doesn't affect me, but what does affect me is having virtually always the same result: a rejection.

So, HNers who have been a similar situation, what would you do? Would you stick to my local minimum, or would you try to leave it by going back to the dating game? If so, any strategies for getting another relapse?
Also, these are principles, not compiler errors. These principles will complete and it sometimes helps to have an order of precedence. The number one rule is KISS and would have trumped all the examples in the article.

Nit: the article’s problems also have an obvious solution—named parameters with default values when not provided.
At least, It should give much lower latency, which is super important for all remote tech, system administration and anything near-real time.

Do the Ukrainian people have no agency? We’ve already seen mass defections in the contested regions by locals who felt the Russian government was the better master. The people still fighting in Ukraine appear to _want_ to fight Russia regardless of the damage it’s incurring to them. Theyre far less likely to be candidates being tricked into fighting unlike the Russian conscript POWs reporting that they were just loaded into trucks and didn’t realize they were being brought to a war
However, your own life trajectory contradicts the notion that this person is irredeemable. You yourself made this change!

I wouldn't be too quick to judge them off of their previous roles. Banks can be slow yes, but as with all companies, where you are in the company often plays a bigger role in you work than what company you're in.
Yeah it seems like, in Boston at least, grid carbon intensity peaks between 12 and 8pm and is at its lowest around 4am. It's probably on a case by case basis though -- if you live in an area that still burns a lot of coal, your base load is likely to be pretty dirty (though of course in that case it probably doesn't matter when you charge your car, unless there happens to be a lot of solar as well).
It's not that hard of a problem to do fast free-space optical in space within a single orbital shell. The only thing that makes it hard for SpaceX is the relatively small mass and volume budgets on their satellites to do precision pointing with, and that you'd really want each satellite to be able to do multiple links and that's taking up a lot of space.
GitHub Copilot and Open Source: A Love Story That Won’t End Well?
Nice but my super anal quip is please don't call this thing "realtime". It doesn't make sense in this context. What is realtime about it? Are there timing guarantees or are timing constraints provided in API requests? Because that's what realtime systems are. Realtime does not mean "real fast". For example, a train track switching system might be getting run by a 1MHz CPU and still be real time. It's not about speed, it's about deadline guarantees.
Interesting. I wonder why. If it really is a problem with pricing in local currencies, they could have explicitly listed the prices in USD/US$ or something.
You have a point there. I guess I didn't quite realize what I was replying to.
That would only buy you one increment of offshore range gain; it wouldn't cover the whole ocean unless you had a huge network of ships and used multiple up/down hops. And at that point the overall latency would suck so bad your customers might be better off with GEO.
This is the tragedy of the commons. Its solution is a central authority. How do we get there?
It feels like the frequency of "historically bad" events has increased in the last few years.
I would ask two things:

a) if you've ever personally lived for months or years at a time 100% dependent upon geostationary based services costing anywhere from $165/mo to $15,000 a month or more, for internet access and links to the outside world

b) if you've personally used a starlink terminal

the actual coverage isn't there yet for things like mid ocean, because starlink satellites in the present architecture need to be simultaneously in view of a CPE and a starlink run earth station.

what they've got right now is a viable competitor for the smaller geostationary based ku and ka band maritime vsat packages sold for coastal region use, which are limited to specific ku and ka band spot beams anyways. such as you might see used in the caribbean and Mediterranean oceans.

when they have more polar orbit satellites and the satellite-to-satellite laser links are working they will have full mid ocean coverage, and I have no doubt it will beat the pants off a $200,000+, 2.4 meter C-band stabilized-in-radome maritime VSAT system with a monthly service cost of $8,500+.

anyone that's ever done the link budget calculations and seen the RF channel sizes and very simple modulations (very poor bps/Hz ratio) needed to make IP data over 2.4m size c-band terminals will know what I'm talking about. this is directly proportional to dollars in the monthly recurring costs for ongoing transponder space use.

the performance and dollar per MB cost right now for coastal region use will absolutely beat anything inmarsat or iridium based by a ridiculous margin.

I fundamentally disagree with you that it's a very competitive market, it's a market that's highly dependent upon the business model of launching 3500-6000 kg things into geostationary orbit at immense cost and trying to recoup the construction+launch cost of them before they die in 13 to 16 years. And military/government contracts. Traditional two way geostationary based satellite comms stuff is a very conservative and moribund segment of the telecom industry.

you've got other things out there that are sort of viable like o3b (now owned/controlled by SES), but anyone that's ever priced an o3b terminal and ongoing service on something like a 36 month term will know that it's not a significant improvement in cost.

This works well with games like hearthstone because the game itself is well defined. Whereas sandboxes such as Minecraft, Roblox and MMOs such as Runescape, World of Warcraft would be greatly neutered by this restriction. An an example of this, the Minecraft community is currently up in arms about Microsoft's new chat reporting.

There's also an entire category of games games (2nd life) and non games (omegle) which are built on communication with strangers. For some people that's part of why they play these games.
