> No, because religious people don't reliably raise religious children.

There is a great deal of variation between religious groups in terms of their reliability in passing on their views to their children. Some groups have very high retention rates (>80%, even >90%), many others are at the opposite end of that spectrum. Natural selection is at work: those groups who do a good job of passing on their beliefs will grow and prosper, those groups who do a poor job of doing that will dwindle and die. Right now, the religious marketplace is dominated by massive-yet-sclerotic incumbents, whose children are abandoning religion en masse–they may still be huge, but these groups have a very dim future. Meanwhile, there are many smaller groups who have a far brighter future, due to high birth rates and low attrition rates, but they are coming up from such a low base, it is going to take them many decades, even centuries, to overtake the incumbents. But I think it is likely to happen - the next two centuries may end up being far more religious than this one, and the contemporary rise in irreligiosity may well turn out to be "just a phase".
> You’ve clearly not used both a taxi pre-Uber or an Uber.

You know this is extremely unlikely, so it's not good to base any argument on it.
Good for you. That's not the case here. Taxi companies employ people, pay wage taxes, sales tax, have their vehicles inspected once per year and in general are marginal business, except for the few in the biggest cities where it is a good business. Uber only went for the easy wins, siphoned off a large chunk of the profits in return for people working without a safety net and who do not pay into the social system, which works fine until it doesn't and then society has to pick up the tab.
This paper [1] aims for a related goal: automatically parsing the argumentative function of citations ("citation frames").

They probably could have just shortened it to autonomy. Collaboration is great when it’s not forced - hence autonomy.

I also like to call autonomy to being treated like an adult. So much of what companies do is infantilizing now.
You don't need trade school for hitting nail with hammer nor for digging holes. You don't need previous experience either.

For those kind of jobs this is complete waste of money.
KHTML from the KDE project was Apple's surprise choice for the Safari browser, in preference to Gecko. Everyone expected Apple to choose Gecko for their rendering engine.

Chrome and Safari both ran WebKit for many years until Google forked to the Blink engine.

Blink (as a descendent) is far closer to Webkit than either are to Gecko.

Such papers would probably make it explicit that a given methodology was inadequate (and explain why) so while it may be challenging, it's still a solvable NLP problem.
#2 is to improve quality, shorten feedback loops, and simplify merges. You get those benefits whether or not you're able to push things to your customer at will.

Both #2 and #5 really just set a quality bar high enough to reduce long-term maintenance costs. I don't see why you wouldn't want that in a non-web scenario.

#12 is not talking about deploying to production, and I don't see why you shouldn't be able to deploy to a dev environment from your machine. It's nice not to have to run everything locally. Even for non-EU companies.

So aside from #9 which is of questionable utility for any type of development, no, I'm not convinced you've pointed valid examples.
> It surely goes in cycles in the US.

Adams, Harrison, Roosevelt, Kennedy, Bush, Clinton. That spans the entire history of the country, and doesn't leave much room for cycles. I can't think of any period when inherited wealth and connections weren't extremely helpful in a political career.

I'd say that "ossified authoritarian impulses built deep into [the] system" is a global issue, not a uniquely American one.

A better answer is that contemporaneous class systems elsewhere in the world were so rigid, early in American history, that merely not having formal orders of nobility seemed shockingly egalitarian. Two and a half centuries later we're less eager to pat ourselves on the back for somewhat-better-but-only-somewhat levels of equality. But failure to make enough progress is not the same as regression.
And so does hypocritical accusations.
It's not an easy game, but less punishing than a game like Darkest Dungeon, because it doesn't force you to play on Ironman. You can save and reload if you need to.
R4 controls the output impedance of TR1. It'd have to be high to keep the loaded Q of the L2 tank high. R10 looks like a mistake to me. Probably should be 390 ohms.

Agree with your assertions though.

It might have been reverse engineered from something badly or drawn up by someone smoking crack. Even Tektronix had that problem on occasions in their service manuals ...
> As for the drivers, they were not forced to work for Uber and were aware of the impact. I personally do not agree with the ruling, since drivers were in control of when & where they worked and as such, they were not employees of Uber.

They are effectively forced to work for Uber when the company eventually captures the market away from taxis, either due to subsiding rides and lowering prices vs taxi rides, or other offers that make them initially more attractive to riders than city taxis. After capturing said market by network effect you force more drivers to join because their customers are in the platform.

It's Uber's business model for expansion...
If you are a major company in China you are controlled by the CCP. They may leave the day to day business to execs but they are 100% at CCP beck and call. Look at what happened to Jack when you go too far off script. CCP has full access to US Servers (yeah I know that TikTok "US" says all data is kept here.
The crazy thing is how good the ants are at this. Especially considering their brain size.

With robots it works ok, but over time small errors accumulate. After travelling for a while the home error will be off.

In contrast desert ants are able to do this trick after travelling for hundreds of meters.
> More that it seems to be exclusively used by bad people.

So I'm a bad person, then? Are the migrant workers sending money back to their families bad people? Are the refugees using it to bring their life savings with them bad people? Are the people currently subject to those bad regimes and unable to escape bad people?

At best, the belief that "it seems to be exclusively used by bad people" is blatantly ignorant of reality. At worst, it's saying the quiet part out loud: that as far as the legacy financial system (and the supporters thereof) is concerned, these people are just as "bad" (read: worth shunning from the benefits of said system), with the only difference being that said system is able to exploit them and their labor while it pretends they don't exist.

> Cryptocurrency has zero effective solutions for this.

Because there's no problem to be solved in the first place. There are many issues with cryptocurrency, but "wah nation-states can't arbitrarily censor transactions wah" ain't one of 'em.
No cover due to its odd shape. During summer months I use evaporative cooling to keep the pool cool enough to swim. To do this, we intentionally run the water feature to increase the evaporation rate - evaporating water takes the higher energy water molecules and ejects them from the pool reducing the temp.

We also use a pool heater about 3 months out of the year. Never considered the A/C condenser as a heater. Initial thought is that the time of year you need to heat the pool is the time of year you aren’t running your A/C.
The author kinda touches on that with:

> Another argument is that we know too little to analyze cells in the way engineers analyze their systems. But, the question is whether we would be able to understand what we need to learn if we do not use a formal description. The biochemists would measure rates and concentrations to understand how biochemical processes work. A discrepancy between the measured and calculated values would indicate a missing link and lead to the discovery of a new enzyme, and a better understanding of the subject of investigation.

> Do we know what to measure to understand a signal transduction pathway? Are we even convinced that we need to measure something? As Sydney Brenner noted, it seems that biochemistry disappeared in the same year as communism (Brenner, 1995
). I think that a formal description would make the need to measure a system's parameters obvious and would help to understand what these parameters are.
GIE is one of the data sources of the chart. It's noted on the top:

nay! Kilometers are the devious invention of the godless French who killed their king! That should be 53,412 9/32 fathoms per hogshead.
What you can imagine isn't all that relevant though, once the decision to mothball an installation of this size is made it isn't as though you decide to run your car for another year. This is a massive infrastructure project, with all kind of regulatory hoops they need to jump through to operate safely, including training of employees, gear certification and so on. Starting things back up again could well be a multi-year project.
On that note, Wine, too, has aged like wine :)
Wow. From an Amazon review of The Peregrine[1]:

"The language he uses to construct his sentences is like none other I have ever read. It's a vivid mix of nature writing and the best poetry. The text is so dense, the sentences are so packed with words bringing life to action--there really is no reading experience I can compare this to. I could only stand to read a few pages at a time; "relish" not "read" would be the better word there."

My copy is on its way. Thanks for the rec, I never would have found this.

I've yet to work at a company that has managed to figure out a strategy to get the majority of devs to write clear and descriptive commit messages the majority of the time. At least if they include the ticket number I can look at the ticket to understand what they intended to do. Of course whether they actually did it or not is another matter.
No, "the API" doesn't. I have encountered many libs that just do fmt.Errof, and just like that application code does too.

So go doesn't do error handling well at all. Give your stdlib a stringly error maker, that's what will creep in everywhere. It doesn't matter if there is a section for creating (somewhat) typed errors - half of go code doesn't bother and together with the poor type system you can't even be sure which type of error you got.
Same, I have used 2nd gear before, and it worked perfectly fine.
It seems we have an apologist for idiots in the house.

Thats HN for you, filled with all kind of shills apologizing for scammy/scummy behaviours.

William Gibson wrote a piece for Wired back in the day about his obsession with mechanical watches.[1] He puts it thus:

```
Mechanical watches are so brilliantly unnecessary.

Any Swatch or Casio keeps better time, and high-end contemporary Swiss watches are priced like small cars. But mechanical watches partake of what my friend John Clute calls the Tamagotchi Gesture. They're pointless in a peculiarly needful way; they're comforting precisely because they require tending.

And vintage mechanical watches are among the very finest fossils of the pre-digital age. Each one is a miniature world unto itself, a tiny functioning mechanism, a congeries of minute and mysterious moving parts. Moving parts! And consequently these watches are, in a sense, alive. They have heartbeats. They seem to respond, Tamagotchi-like, to "love," in the form, usually, of the expensive ministrations of specialist technicians. Like ancient steam-tractors or Vincent motorcycles, they can be painstakingly restored from virtually any stage of ruin.

That was what I was thinking. A dating service for devs is going to be like 99% guys. On the up side, though, it might underscore the benefits of having a more diverse tech industry.

I get what a few people said about not wanting to be talking about work all the time, but for me, it's more about shared passions. I'd much rather be dating somebody who understands why some hack I did is particularly clever, and maybe even has a better one. I have trouble finding any real chemistry with people who aren't part of my world.
Slightly offtopic: If anyone missed Bartosz Ciechanowski's website explaining how mechanical watsches work, you sold at least look at it once. It is a piece of art.

And not altogether accurate:

> It all started with an app called Netscape Navigator ... believed to be the very first web browser ever

Netscape Navigator was at least the 3rd web browser.

The first web browser was Nexus by Tim Berners-Lee, renamed from the WorldWideWeb which was too easily confused with the distributed hypertext system known as the World Wide Web. [1]

The second web browser was Mosaic (originally xmosaic) by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina, which some of us are old enough to remember using. [2]

The other reason is that the learn from books alone simply does not work in practice. First, it is super hard to keep motivation without that external structure. And second, choosing books to learn from and choosing curriculum itself requires a lot of know how.
you can simply look at the blatant content copying which does not attempt to hide it, across these platforms, and for that category see it easily
>This might sound like a fallacious argument; but do you think the same about Europeans who consume almost exclusively US media and interact almost exclusively with US social media platforms?

i'm not OP, but yes.

this should never have been allowed to happen.

the mass collection and storage of video, audio, location data, public and private messages, browsing history, topics of interest, sentiments and mood, social graphs, menstrual status, political leanings, and so on, is a travesty. it is an unprecedented and powerful invasion of personal privacy, and it's happening to every online adult and child around the world, and there is essentially no way to opt out, and no expectation that the collected data will ever be deleted.

if it only scares you when china does it, something's weird.

I think you're underestimating our dependency on energy in the modern world. It might be easier to convince us to just go ahead and start WW3, but we aren't going to do that, sorry. I hope we can find some way out of this that will be less harmful. What that will be I suppose only time will tell.
I don't know... if it was 'somewhat controversial' you wouldn't be the first person trying to tell me about it...

And I am quite adept at finding controversial topics...

Annnnd my sources are usually from things like the NCBI... and Mayo Clinic...

But to be fair to you, I did find this study done by Wayne B Jonas posted to the NCBI: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6707261/

So I'll give it some consideration; but yeah... I usually ignore this kind of thing because of how misinformation is first seeded as being "They don't want you to know this" or "Unknown to others, but now you can learn the truth" etc, etc.

So no offense. Just me being my usual critical self.

Edit: I'd like to post this excerpt from the start of the article. It basically reiterates what I was ultimately getting at, while still pushing the authors original point and your point about placebo itself being a myth.

> The fact is people heal and that inherent healing capacity is both powerful and influenced by mental, social, and contextual factors that are embedded in every medical encounter since the idea of treatment began. In this chapter, I argue that our understanding of healing and ability to enhance it will be accelerated if we stop using the term “placebo response” and call it what it is—the meaning response, and its special application in medicine called the healing response.
Awesome! It was such a rare time. Nothing like it will ever occur again I don’t think..

> Thunström began the process of submitting the work and had to ask the algorithm if it consented to being published.

This is ridiculous. AI does not have sentience, GPT is just referencing it's training data to regurgitate the most satisfying-looking completion to respond with. There's no process of intuition or decisionmaking that occurred, it's verifiable that the only calculations taking place are model inferencing. It blows my mind that AI researchers continue to publish this stuff and liken it to "Pandora's box" when all you've done is complete a sentence. People were doing this stuff with Markov chains decades ago, that didn't imply that computers were sentient machines capable of reason or thought.

What kind of research are they conducting where they aren't even analyzing the results they have? It doesn't even sound like they ran multiple trials here, this definitely doesn't pass my smell test.
I don't know if I would trust a scummy anti-customer company to know what works best for people.
Well, and this is exactly the problem. They disrupted the market of ordinary taxis by undercuting the prices. Now that they are compelled to pay social contribitions their business is suddenly unprofitable.

As it was discussed in the other threads - Uber is not prohibited in Switzerland, they just need to adhere to the law same as everyone else. Somehow this seems to be a problem for them.
Parents are the ones who pay.
There is. You can treat fines as just another cost of doing business if your returns will be far greater.
Imagine getting downvoted for what you just said lol. HN people can't be so out of contact with children to think they will make complex political decisions.

I wouldn't have cared if tiktok was based in Iran as long as it entertained me.
And later the Western elites did it again: Quite successfully persuaded the 3rd world countries to not make use of the improved crop varieties that were bred with the assistance of gene technology.

It's ridiculous. I'd never vote for a president's relative as the next president. It's a matter of hygiene. There must be other equally (more) suitable candidates.

Voting for relatives gives us presidents like Bush Jr.
After TextMate 1.x stopped being updated in 2010-ish, I moved to Sublime Text which felt very TextMate-y, but was a much better piece of software.

Then, in 2020 as the pandemic began, I decided to give Visual Studio Code a try. For this experiment, I chose to use it exclusively for one full week doing real work, and finding solutions for the things that bugged me.

I think it’s been more than a week at this point because I’m still using it full-time. It has a full development team (instead of 1–2 developers who go back-and-forth and how active they are in maintaining the project), and the community who builds things for it is gigantic.

Yes, technically it’s slower than either TextMate or Sublime Text. When I run Linux virtual machines or other lower-performance systems, I use Sublime Text. But after Ogden failed to update TextMate for 4–5 years, I decided it was time to move on. I haven’t used it in over a decade.
> "a law enforcement activity" isn't a single point in space but an area that encompasses the situation

Obviously it's an area but ...

> it's a pretty reasonable expectation that all involved officers are included in that area

That doesn't necessarily follow - 2 cops arresting someone whilst 10 are on, say, crowd or traffic control shouldn't include those 10 cops in the LEA because they're not part of the "activity", per se, but supporting actors, no? Same goes for one that wanders away from the arrest - they're no longer an active participant and can't be included in the "activity", surely?

(Now, I agree, the courts might well say "wherever cops are is a LEA" but I don't think they'd get away with it without shenanigans like SCOTUS.)

Germany still does not have a solution for the nuclear waste. Nobody wants it. All the pro nuclear people turn into anti nuclear people once their region is looked at for a nuclear waste disposal site.

Recently a former conservative minister got an award for fighting against wind power which is named after a former key figure of the early green movement in Germany, wo later dropped out to figth against wind turbines.

Bavaria is holding back the construction of a crucial north-south connection for electricity, which would bring the power from the wind-rich north to them. But they don't want the power lines messing up their landscape.

Everyone wants electricity, nobody wants to see the infrastructure that makes it.

People are meshugge.
The typography really threw me off. Obviously this is subjective, but it gives me a really cheap vibe, like something you'd find in one of those travel gadget stores at the airport. It looks like they just didn't give a shit.

I wasn't summarizing the article, I was providing a source for my statement.

It's irrational that Germany is shutting down secure and climate friendly power plants while Europe is in the midst of an energy crises and a war.

The reason for the irrationality is that Germans (I'm one) do not want to admit that they've been wrong about nuclear energy for decades.
Same, and I don't get why cheaters don't just play in a "cheating league" where there are no anti-cheating rules or anything.
