If we assume the main problem with lotteries is that they make some people poorer, we need to solve two things: The payout being less than the cost due to both high overhead and transfers and the payouts tending to concentrate wealth since even in a lifetime of play few win the largest jackpots.

One can't make them too flat because consumers like large jackpots which is why they've grown over time and become harder to win. Presumably there's a level below which consumers would switch to other types of gambling regardless of legality.
What does trickle down have to do with Musk losing money to others though? Right now, it's trickle down hoping he'll do something with it. Like you said, it's a failed hypothesis.

The bar for this exam is so absurdly low, i passed it and i have no clue of police things. Compare this with police officer exams in other countries like germany where it’s a real college education.
The referenced article is five years old, so of course it's going to miss some of the biggest trends of the last decade. They Are Billions and Northgard were both released on Steam sometime after this article was written.

The author also made it a point to narrowly define an RTS game as "one that involves base building and/or management, resource gathering, unit production, and semi-autonomous combat, all conducted in real time (rather than being turn-based), for the purpose of gaining/maintaining control over strategic points on a map (such as the resources and command centers)," which leaves MOBAs out of the discussion.

I think the author succeeded in his goal of providing a light history of the RTS genre during its peak years (early 90s to mid 2010s). The criticisms you have may be valid, but they are largely outside of the article's scope.
You can find reliable analysis of the SpaceX Mars plans. See the Common Sense Skeptic YouTube videos. Not a fan of Musk, but the skeptic gets into details about the physics, logistics, and physiology problems that Musk glosses over.

Mars doesn't have a magnetosphere, for one thing, so radiation is a big problem Musk already dismissed. We already know human bodies lose muscle and bone after just a few weeks in space. The rockets Musk has presented don't have room for the water and food needed for 100+ people. Many other issues. Not to mention terraforming is science fiction right now.
Fortunately, retries are built into the spec (rfc5321). Typically, you retry for 3 days.
Increasing payouts should bring more players though it would be offset by eliminating the advertising that currently consumes some of that revenue. Flattening jackpots would have a negative effect but we just need to optimize for being above the point at which there's competition instead of maximizing lottery revenue.
Maybe if we zoom in closely on a shiney object we will be able to see into the past...
Usually, for electronic devices I start with the Open Source Projects recommendations or first class support items... They usually have good hardware quality e.g. for a smartphone, I look at lineage devices first and then check out reviews for these, that work for me from looking at the specs.

For your purpose, there is no such audio player, I know of. The best devices I know atm are:

- iPod Nano 7th gen 16GB
- Pro: Size, Bluetooth, UI
- Con: Battery, Storage, Formats, req. iTunes, no Wifi / NFC, No Upgrades
- iPod classic (mod with iFlash Quad and 2200mah battery + iKokkia Bluetooth)
- Pro: Storage, Battery, UI, Hackable (kind of)
- Con: Size, Formats, req. Itunes, No native Bluetooth/Wifi/NFC, No upgrades
- Maybe you should think of RockBox to have more freedom
- LG G5 H850 (optional with Bang & Olufsen Hifi-Plus module) + Audiobookshelf + Substreamer
- Pro: Formats, Battery, Storage, Bluetooth/Wifi/NFC, Hackable
- Con: Size, UI (I did not find a Server/App nearly as good as iPod)

Let me cite my comment from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32042780:

I use m4b-tool[1], tone[2] and audiobookshelf[3] together with an LG G5 H850 smartphone[8] with Bang & Olufsen Hifi-Plus Module for Audio Only and I am pretty happy with this config. For Music I use Navidrome[5] and Substreamer App[7]. Maybe I'll try out Jellyfin[4] or maybe Plex[6], but I really don't wanna go closed source.

I also thought about writing something self hosted in C# to have ONE solution for audiobooks, podcasts and music and started a small private project, but this will take a while until it is ready to release something...

You may ask: Why an LG G5 H850? Well, its relatively small and cheap (about 50 - 80 bucks used) it has an audio Jack, USB-C, you can change the battery, it can hold up to 2TB microSD storage, has an HiFi Plus module for audio enthusiasts and a descent screen. Besides that it can run lineage os...

The straw in orange is also a fun and friendly image, without going overboard. It invites people to "solve" the visual equation. Straw + orange = fresh juice. A clever design for young and old. Amazing they replaced it with a boring glass of OJ.

Replacing the horizontal convex "Tropicana" with the straight vertical and using a more serious font, was another blunder.

There is no such thing as a natural state. At all stages of human development you'll find loners who lived off by themselves in the woods, like shaman or trappers, and others who formed towns and tribes.

As for the "do nothing" part, you'll find plenty of people here who meditate regularly. That's the pinnacle of doing nothing, all alone by yourself.
You only know what the lawsuit says. My guess is there was some other issues with personality evaluated.

Think of a pilot. A pilot needs to be in command, exert control and assess situations in the fly. Yet a pilot also must be disposed to understand and follow complex rules and procedures precisely. The military does a lot of screening to identify that personality, and if you’ve known pilots, you can spot one.

I would presume to guess there are criteria for a police officer that an exam would try to identify, if allowed to do so.
Only a few (maybe 2) people who work on TA are from Delta. Some were there for night shifts for days to a week or two - most of it was to be automated. A few of the researchers were mormon, most are not. Most drank (even if at Curleys).

I’m not sure why you’re not crediting the uncut original 1966 version of the film titled as The Passion According to Andrei which is available in The Criterion Collection released in 2018 in both DVD and Blu-Ray. It is also available in The Criterion Channel. Are you saying that The Passion is not the pre-cut version and if so, can you provide a reference?

The length of the bottom wall is 20 feet and the sum of the lengths of the top walls is 17.5 feet, meaning there is an additional 2.5 feet of wall width across the two walls of the balcony. Assuming the wall is uniform thickness, that gives us dimensions of 1.25 x 10.5 feet, or 13.125 square feet.

Sadly, not one of the allowed options.

A maul would be the proper tool when you've already got the log cut up into firewood length, and you can enter into the end grain. I think what GP is describing is to split the log before cutting it to length, which (as far as I'm aware) is also an unorthodox technique. A maul wouldn't be acute enough to cut into the face grain.

The story behind the original capture by the Hubble is really incredible. This is kind of cool but I don't think JWT will have the same "damn this changes our entire perspective about the universe" potential.
If a system depends on disposable workers to provide those things than it's not a system we should be supporting. We need to figure out how to provide a wage large enough to provide for everyone, not just the lucky few who have an army of slaves to meet their needs. Currently we don't and we are stealing the human capital of the second world to support our failing countries.

Those are officer training schools, so it makes sense they're ostensibly selecting for leadership skills, because they'll be overseeing enlisted recruits.

There's clearly reviewer tiers in Google Maps, with the lower ones getting shadow banning too negative reviews (I had some of my earlier ones appear after my rank got up)

The higher tiers are more public, like for the 'local guides' for instance: https://maps.google.com/localguides/
The "where are they now" stories have been getting more positive over the years. It seems like more of the winners are middle to upper middle class and also awareness of the curse of past lottery winners has made winners more aware that they need a plan so they don't end up penniless a few years down the road.
i think we are talking a little bit different. it doesnt matter what the variables are (your business logic) or some other variables.

Given a certain variable, tfidf/bm-25 will order by relevance and not by match. So it answers the question, what if the name match was off by two characters and the inventory number is less than 200.

tf-idf does not tell you what to order by...but it takes care of all the edge cases of ordering.

now if ur not using text match anywhere and only using business variables...then this entire thread is not for u. But FTS and lucene attack full text search primarily, and that's where the relevance vs ordering discussion comes from
Yep ancient civilizations have thought about these concepts for a long time. Some got destroyed by floods, some by famine, but horrific destruction have happened when Abrahmic religions came on the scene with "holier than thou" philosophy which made destruction of others a religious duty.

Hindus were obsessed with zero and infinity and to them it was the same as god itself. Shanti mantra(used to wish well to all living being) from īśopaniṣad says.

> ओं | पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदं पूर्णात्पूर्णमुदच्यते ।
पूर्णस्य पूर्णमादाय पूर्णमेवावशिष्यते ॥

> oṃ | pūrṇamadaḥ pūrṇamidaṃ pūrṇātpūrṇamudacyate |
pūrṇasya pūrṇamādāya pūrṇamevāvaśiṣyate ||

> That is Whole and this is Whole, the perfect has come out of the perfect; having taken the perfect from the perfect, only the perfect remains. Let there be Peace, Peace, Peace.

Verse above describes God superficially but it also describes zero and infinity[0]. This small text with only 18 verses and yet it is so profound. Similarly Buddhist philosophy which also came out from India is based on Shunya(zero).

> If someone is selling a fundamental truth about the universe, it better damn well work in every situation

Seems like a strange thing to say. Fundamental truths don't have to be useful period, let alone be useful in every situation.

If someone tomorrow proved that life simply had to be common in the universe, that would hardly be useful to any situation you'd face in your lifetime.

Helpful background article

"Imaging the breakdown of ohmic transport in graphene" (Jenkins et al. 2020)

https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05065

> "Ohm’s law states that the current flow through an electrical conductor is proportional to a voltage difference across it. While this introductory textbook physics is ubiquitous in macroscopic electrical devices, Ohm’s law need not hold locally at every point inside of a conductor. Specifically, Ohm’s law arises only on length scales sufficiently long that microscopic scattering processes completely relax the electrical current. In an ordinary metal, impurity scattering and umklapp processes, each of which relax current, dominate the electronic dynamics; hence Ohm’s law arises on scales larger than the electronic mean free path... In this regime, electrical transport is diffusive. However, in low-density, low-disorder Fermi liquids, it was predicted decades ago that dynamics could be dominated by electron-electron collisions, which conserve momentum... the momentum-conserving collisions do not completely relax the electrical current, resulting in viscous rather than diffusive transport, with
current flow resembling that of a fluid."

This seems to be more of an improved experimental method than anything else. The 'possible practical applications' claim in the article headline is probably there to draw in investments for startups or to justify the next round of grant applications. This is why it's almost always best to ignore the university media office press releases (which are generally one-sided puffery) and just look at the papers themselves, and perhaps independent science articles. The actual important big-picture result seems to be this:

> "More broadly, these techniques provide a powerful method for visualizing electronic dynamics normally invisible in bulk resistivity measurements."

Locations services on phones use more than just GPS though. It'd be quite easy for Google to add a "Verfied" tag to a review if your GPS history includes the restaurant and a few points around the restaurant, and your WiFi SSID history includes a few of the same SSIDs that other reviewers logged, and there's a photo of the food that includes meta data that matches, etc. It could all be spoofed too but it'd become increasingly difficult.
I'm surprised nobody suggested Godot.

I have developed several 2d games with it, as a hobby, used a python server for mp, it was very intuitive and understandable. And it is completely free, no ads or restrictions.
You are absolutely correct. The doublethink is real.
I understand the intention but even then you are creating a loophole, i.e. you bring people under 18 illegally, they get the nationality through this loophole, then you need to grant visas to the parent who will care for them.

It's basically the story of the loophole of "don't put children in jail and don't separate them from their parents either" at the US border. All good intentions, the consequences of which is that the number of illegal migrants coming with children has blown up, with children being used as a get out of jail card to enter the country illegally.

I am all for making exceptions in case of exceptional contributions. But you can't create rules without looking at the consequences of the incentives you create.
Amazing tool! Reduces video production time exponentially and the quality is great.
What's funny about all this Blockbuster nostalgia is that back in the day they were actually the bad guys. They were the big homogenous corporate chain that drove all the independent stores out of business. One of their key differentiators was to overstock Hollywood blockbusters at the expense of indie films, art films, cult classics etc. and to make sure that the indie stores wouldn't be able to get their hands on the big titles when they first came out.

Blockbuster always had the least interesting inventory of the rental places in our neighborhood and their employees tended to be less knowledgeable, but because they were the only place that was guaranteed to have the latest box office hits, they drove the other stores out of business. Their homogenization and crapification of the video rental industry is what created the opportunity for Netflix's rise -- NFLX's original DVD-by-mail catalog was vast and movie buffs could finally get their hands on the obscure classics they were no longer able to find locally.

Nope, Windows C++ compilers have supported DLLs since Windows 16 bit days.

Some famous C++ frameworks that ship as binaries are OWL, VCL, FireMonkey, MFC, ATL, WinUI.

And WinRT has improved upon classical COM ABI to provide even more data types.

On Windows there is a component market selling libraries for those ecosystems.

Then we have middleware vendors for game consoles as well.

Maybe this isn't a market Rust community cares about and that is fine.
> That was literally his defense at the libel trial related to the latter.

That he won, btw.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50695593

Of course, US rules for libel make it a lot harder for the plaintiff to prevail. But I think he knew pretty much what he could get away with and pushed it right to the line.
Yep. Standard search engines, with a wardialer level of persistence. Probably unhealthy, since it takes a lot of time....

I usually start with whatever the biggest name brand is that isn't Apple-ized(Made with lots of incompatibilities, a "think different" attitude, expensive, prioritizing "luxury craftsmanship" over high tech, etc).

I usually use a lot of quotes in searches. And I generally will always look for the more generalized versions.

In this case, my first search would be "Bluetooth" mp4 player "ogg" "opus" "flac" "type-c" which has some interesting results.

Related features are also helpful and can sometimes be used as proxies for features that aren't always clearly described. Most of the ones with FM radio also have a 3.5mm jack.

I'm not rich, and I generally trust mass produced tech, so I'm not really sure about the top of the pyramid or how to find it. Ideally I like name brands, but in general solid state stuff is a lot harder to mess up than older stuff. A bad record player might be truly bad, a bad mp3 player is probably just kind of OK. and will probably continue working for 10 years, just a bit annoyingly. A more midrange MP3 player is probably pretty great.

With a lot of things, there's only so much you can do. Playing MP3s is mostly solved, there's no reason a $30 device can't do it very well, if it has all the features.

I've never tried to find something like an MP3 player or any of those "Phones do it now" devices though. That might be a bit harder now that they are mostly a low end thing, and most(Myself included) just focus on making sure you have a great phone, and not bothering with dedicated gear.

Building my own is the one thing I try to almost never to. Yes, I generally describe my job title as embedded systems engineer. No, I do not want to add another custom project to my life.

What I might do if I was really dedicated is to look for something unrelated with moddable open firmware. Perhaps one of the keychain sized ESP32 game consoles.

Last resort, it is in fact totally reasonable to DIY things these days.... I just prefer to curate my projects list very aggressively and I'd rather just use a phone app.

Have the same, thought it was normal turned out it’s not. It’s ADHD.

I was somewhat surprised, because for me and my family it was normal to be very heavy driven with the “next thing” and not something that’s obtained even though, similarly as you, I am I very good position in my life.

And yet, constant struggle to get more filled my life with junk and made my almost split with my wife (I suppose you can imagine how “constant improvement” affects partnership especially in context of one partner being fine with position they’re in).

So, yeah, my guess would be - go talk to the specialist about it. It’s not “normal” and if it’s ADHD it can be managed to some degree.
