Are you serious? Theorems are laws. It's like me doubting the Pythagorean theorem because I can't understand the proof.

Local hidden variables can not explain experimental results of QM. That's a fact. Ask any QM Physicist and you'll get the same answer.
The Shinkansen also use cylindrical wheels on flat rails. The solution is to spend a large amount of effort and money into maintaining both the wheels and the rails. The amount of maintenance that BART train wheels and tracks get is much lower than what is done to keep Shinkansen running.
I like to think he's some kind of monk, a zen master of human forums, and a genuinely good person. At least any exchange I had with him or observed with all kinds of people have been full of humanity, while firm in his mission. I don't know how he does it, and I wish we'd celebrate him and people like him far more.
the answer IMO as an amateur radio enthusiast is a portable shortwave.

you get FM for local stations to rebroadcast EAS, am for longer distance in the event the emergency affects multiple counties or provinces, and shortwave if your dumpster fire communications monopoly just wrecked the country.

you also have antennae options that can be spooled from most cheap household wire to boost the signal
The effort has not gone unnoticed here, and it is greatly appreciated.
Interesting, but it does not solve the core of THE problem: you still need gogol absurd and grotesquely massive and complex javascript-ed engine (including their SDK), aka blink, to create an account, and re-authenticate this account on a regular time-basis. Ok, it is not completely true, you can use mozilla(=gogol sidekick) and apple(webkit) absurd and grotesquely massive and complex javascript-ed engines (including their SDKs) to do the same... because gogol is still not breaking compatibility, yet.

Not really ideal.

There is no solution to this issue, because accounts can be created and re-authenticated via click farms, and that massively, using humans and all the VPNs around the world.

You can sort of mitigate this issue: the process of creating an account and re-authicate must be something long, really long for the user (do warn the user about this and explain why), and that can work with a noscript/basic (x)html browser. Then "work" for the click farms, or blink|geeko/webkit modified engines with AI (and trained via humans in click farms) would sky rocket until it is not worth it anymore.

Now, let's be serious, but really important online services, account creation should not be online, but IRL at a physical office, or it is made for you after ID verification and mailed/emailed/phoned/smsed, or... well you get the picture.

For online shopping there is a middle ground I don't really like: you mail/html form post a demand of account creation with a credit card number, which will be deeply/humanly verified before anything is done. Then after verification, the account will be sent to you like above. What I don't like, this online shop has your credit card number and must be verified by a salary human (which could be a "point of failure") and that defeats the purpose of wallet codes.

The "physical" identification seems to be what's happening in my country. Namely, those accounts are linked to _really_ you.

For all that, you don't need a javascript-ed web engine, you should never and core functionality should work with noscript/basic (x)html browsers.

And ofc, for those "verified" accounts, you can propose a web API (which is not a good excuse not to provide a noscript/basic (x)html portal).

Right, you don't get all the way there with one layer. But perovskite layers can usefully be thin enough that light of too long wavelength for one layer goes right through to the next. Three layers is wholly practical, because perovskite layers are cheap.

So, top layer converts UV and blue photons. Next catches maybe green to orange. Bottom catches red and IR.

Multi-layer silicon would be expensive.

> You can't just rsync files into a fully managed RDS PostgreSQL or Elasticsearch instance. You'll probably need to do a dump and restore, especially if the source machine has bad disks and/or has been running a different version. This will take much longer than simply copying the files.

That is true, albeit not in all cases!

An alternative approach (that has some serious caveats) would be to do full backups of the DB directory, e.g. /var/lib/postgresql/data or /var/lib/mysql (as long as you can prevent invalid state data there) and then just starting up a container/instance with this directory mounted. Of course, that probably isn't possible with most if not all managed DB solutions out there.
Okay, I just want to correct you that superdeterminism is not a local hidden variable theory.
I'd argue that CoffeeScript was dead before Typescript went mainstream, and that JavaScript killed CoffeeScript: or rather, CoffeeScript killed itself.

Many of the features that made CoffeeScript fun and useful were incorporated directly into ES6. The proposals even cited CoffeeScript and borrowed the syntax verbatim or with minor changes. By the time arrow-functions were accepted it was obvious that the cost of transpiling wasn't worth it any more, all that was left was "significant whitespace", which was the most buggy part about CoffeeScript anyway!

Despite the haters and imperfections, I think HN is about as humane as a large, public, globally accessible online community could possibly be. It seems like one of those things that couldn't possibly last forever because it bucks the statistics of human nature too much.

A key move, and an utterly unique one to my knowledge, was having an extraordinary full time employee tending to it constantly.

Here's hoping it all lasts for as long as possible. Thanks dang.
As far as I can tell from this article [1] - The lonely work of moderating Hacker News (2019) - it's a full-time job. The article was discussed at length on HN [2].

There are some trains which use independent wheels, but they need complicated mechanical centering mechanisms to replace the self-centering effect, and these are more expensive to maintain.
This feels a bit like polling people's belief in gods plural, or holy people/organisations.

In many ways, it could be mapping knowledge that there is more than one opinion on the matter. Which could be interpreted positively (once you know there is more than one perspective you might evaluate them all more objectively) or it might reflect people doubling down on denouncing the other people's gods, or a mix of the two.

Without any context on who has faith in what sources it seems somewhat useless. Particularly as "mainstream" media seems particularly slippery to define.

Would like to follow up on your assertion:

“Switching from a particle-centric theory
(like Quantum Mechanics) to a field-centric theory
makes all the QM paradoxes disappear, and problems
like locality, the double-slit experiment, etc., become
trivial.“

I feel the same way. Would you know of any references that described the actual experiments seemingly revealing the paradoxes from quantum field theory perspective? Would appreciate it if you could share the references. Thanks!

Rather than focusing on how to get people back in the office, the execs already know the things they should work on:

> How do you build a compelling culture remotely?

> the majority of people seem to want to be remote when we survey them. But are they as engaged? Will they stay? ... how sustainable is that?

> How do you make those people [out of state] still feel like they are part of everything?

> Are people working as hard?

> there’s still just a lot of empty space right now. When I’m in the office, there’s not a lot of people.

> I recently attended an in-person meeting and I loved it. It was great. There are still things that are fun to talk about in-person and we were doing a lot of brainstorming. The time went by like that, and on a Zoom call, it just doesn’t.

Q: did the other people like it, or did they wish they were at home on a Zoom call and that the meeting was dragging on and should have been shorter?

> But I can’t get away from the inescapable reality that there’s still a hit to productivity. It was so scary the first six months of the pandemic and everybody just wanted to keep their job. Now, people are multitasking too much.

Seems this could be measured, and if it's just a problem for the exec internally and not an "inescapable reality", he needs to get over it. If productivity hasn't taken a hit, "people are not multitasking too much": they are able to do the same amount of work more efficiently away from the office, and that allows them to do more other things that may not be work related.

> [On working 4 days vs 5:] We’re not even in a space where you tell me you are just so good and efficient at your job, and you’re willing to work longer days for four days to have a fifth day off. That’s not the situation. I can keep my mind open to that.

In other words, if a smart worker can get their work done in 4 days, the exec expects them to do 25% more work without extra pay.

> Boundaries are being tested all over the place... the workplace was probably out of whack and companies did have too much power... There’s a level of distrust that employees have for their organizations, almost like an old dated image of like fat cats sitting around counting their money

Regarding global conspiracy:

"Explicit construction of Local Hidden Variables for any quantum theory up to any desired accuracy"

https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.04335

Regarding unfalsifiable, from [0] "If engineers ever succeed in making such quantum computers, it seems to me that the CAT is falsified; no classical theory can explain quantum mechanics." By "such quantum computers" he means computers that can run Shor's algorithm. "...but factoring a number with millions of digits into its prime factors will not be possible – unless fundamentally improved classical algorithms turn out to exist."

Now, this does not mean these theories are ready, but they are being worked on.
> OOI, why System76 for those?

Not the original poster, but +$200 would be reasonable for me.

The last computer I built was twenty years ago so I would have to do at least a couple hours of research to find out what sites and stores are reliable, read component reviews, etc. None of that information is useful or interesting to me beyond getting the computer up and running. And there's a slight chance that despite my best efforts I would make a mistake end up buying a collection of components that are incompatible, don't work optimally together, are back-ordered, or are missing drivers or something. Then I spend another couple hours on forums trying to get everything working.

On the other hand, for an extra $200 I can spend five minutes configuring a tested configuration that comes with tech support if something is wonky, and kicks a few bucks to people trying to support Linux.

Given the value I place on my free time the latter is significantly cheaper. If you already posses the expertise, enjoy that kind of work, or do not place a high monetary value on your time then the former might be cheaper.
A related option: LibreOffice has a cool option where you can generate the PDF with the editable text format embedded. You get a clean PDF that is also fully editable. Easy tech, but also useful.
I'm amazed that people willingly go on multi day hikes or sailing trips, regularly, without satellite communication.

Some of them might be wearing multiple hundred dollar jackets and boots and can probably afford them without even needing to think of the cost.

I can only assume they either don't know they exist or don't particularly want them? Do they enjoy the extra adrenaline of not having one?

> Ideally, all this data would have been already backed up to AWS (or your provider of choice) by the time your primary service failed, so all your have to do is spin up your backup server and your data would be waiting for you.

Sure, though the solution where you back up the data probably won't be the same one where the new live DB will actually run, so some data transfer/IO will still be needed.

Oh don't get me wrong, I totally understand your point as a seller. What's weird to me is that the seller gets blamed, even after the shipment is marked as delivered by UPS/Amazon logistics or whatever company was used to drop it off in Miami.

>"How often” as used in colloquial English is not measurable

So what "observe how often" means then in your colloquial English?

I legitimately asked about stats. On this forum I presume you know what it is, how it's different from anecdotes. And it makes your behavior look not particularly honest.

You could have sincerely answer: "I have no data, but I have a gut geeling/impression" - that would spare you from wiggling around, and claiming that English is not to express facts.

I would absolutely give repeat business to any barber shop whose selling point was “we won’t try to talk to you about last night’s game (you didn’t see) of a sport you don’t care about”.

My unsubstantiated hunch based on looking at the types of queries, which at least for me were over-specified as all hell and within the sphere of pharmaceuticals, e-shopping and the like, is that they're gambling on the search engine being backed by Google or Bing, and they're effectively trying to poison their typeahead suggestion data.

I'd guess they're just aiming their gatling gun at whatever sites has an opensearch specification without much oversight.

It's also crossed my mind it might be some sketchy law firm looking for DMCA violations, since a fair bunch of the queries looked like they were after various forms of contraband. Seems weird they'd use a botnet though. Like most of the IPs seemed to be like enterprise routers with public facing admin pages and the like. Does not seem above board at all.
> if there are laws out there that boldly violate the Bill of Rights, then it’s our duty to challenge those laws.

Yes, but I don't see your attitude meshing well with people who actually do the challenging in practice. They are wizened by their struggles and those of us on the sidelines should pay attention to their reality.
The same way any human system works: people mostly want to do the right thing, so they do.

That's not necessarily an issue — Deutsche Bahn uses carpet and fabric seats for second class and carpet and leather seats for first class as well.

Even local transit, e.g., BVG frequently uses fabric as seat material.

Interesting for those non-evangelicals among us. Given that evangelical identification is shrinking, perhaps articles explaining everyone else to the remaining evangelicals are in order. After all, as a minority, they'll have to get along with the rest of us.
I just find it comically ironic that the same community infamous for sleuthing and demanding the full root cause of failure from their favourite faang darlings and various digital feudal estates has been so quiet, forgiving, and reflective about the HN outage and its cause. am I missing something? does anyone know what caused the failure?
I'm at an age and point in my career that paying $200 extra to not have to figure out what components to buy and assembling it is worth the money. I did have a Franken-desktop in my 20s that I upgraded a lot (from 386 through Pentium 2) but that was a long time ago.

I don't find the noise bad at all, but again, that may be my hearing going :)

Not exactly what you're asking for, but Google Keep has a "grab image text" menu item for any note that has an image in it. I assume it's using the same backend.
What a pleasant surprise to see this on HN this morning as I wrote this article about 15 years ago! I had planned to do a whole series about the early mac but life got in the way :(
There was something really special about the early macs (system 6 & 7). Yes they were buggy and slow but the UI was such a massive improvement over anything else. It also felt more "personal" in a way that I haven't experienced since. I wish younger devs could go back with me and experience the excitement and possibilities of those times.
Hypercard especially made programming so accessible. Credit to Tom Pittman - his compiler allowed you to develop in hypercard but distribute a binary - very useful.
I bought it a couple years ago too and use it in most of my editors and consoles. It's very comforting!
Math and equations don't have to reflect reality, but you are missing the point. The problem is with the very real experimental result of QM. Whichever theory or interpretation you come up to explain it, it won't make it any less weird.

How is twitter getting so much cash ? Are the ads on twitter earning them that much ?? Or is it cash they got from raising funds ?
There was one obvious reason: too much money was printed, for decades. Virtually unlimited supply of cheap money not only push up asset prices but also make it super easy to blindly take loans to invest in assets and make tones of money. Once you tasted the easy money, you want more and earn from hard working would look super stupid. Properties are the most accessible way of getting involved, so people flock in. It's not only America, it's virtually everywhere.

Look around the globe, for how long have all central banks been doing nothing but printing money? Printing money to economy just like adrenaline injection to body, it for sure helps in some scenarios but it also kills if you don't know when to stop. All the central banks delayed the crisis by printing money and got away by manipulating the data to make CPI looking low. It would be probably okay if they did that only one time or two.

So here we are.
The people who host those shows are extremely good. They are excellent designers or builders and have connections to specialists for landscaping, architecture or whatever area they are deficient in. Not only that, but they know how to market themselves.They have an HGTV show because they were able to get the word out about their work.

The other part of that is that I don't think most realize how much work something like that takes—it basically is a full-time job. I've got an endless list of projects for my own home and I'm not doing anything close to knocking down walls or updating the kitchen.
It is ironic that HN has not yet been monetized like metafilter was.
