What a twisted version of reality you just presented. The US has in no way, shape or form returned to the "status quo in most advanced countries". Perhaps with some convoluted rhetoric you can argue that, but in practice the difference is undeniable. Policies regarding abortion have one gone in one direction in recent decades (in both advanced and less advanced economies) and there is only a single massive outlier that has jerked aggressively back in the other direction.

Oh, that explains why you're totally our of the loop on how often "communists" are painted negatively in mainstream American media, you didn't see it.

Oops, I sure do, it's when an element recurs in a piece of art. The piece if art you posted (the youtube video) was created by an artist to portray the message "the news is fake." Thus, ANOTHER example of the Immoral Journalist trope.
For example, using proportional representation, in 2015 UKIP's 12.6% of the vote would have netted 82 out of the 650 seats in parliament. Instead they got only one seat [1]. But there's very little complaint about this form of gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement, at least from the usual suspects.

It's inspirational self-help rhetoric, it may not actually MEAN anything.

But you could parse it as: "reputation" is your standing in the eyes of others, and if you define success as a good reputation then you cede control of your success to others. "Honour", "courage", and "integrity" are self-assessed, so if you define success as "acting with honour" then it's your definition of honour that matters.

It's framed as an either-or, but you have a reputation whether you want one or not. It's what other people say about you when you're not in the room. If you want others to choose to work with/buy from/hang out with you, then you care about your reputation for that is what will determine whether they engage with you.

Reputation doesn't automatically follow from the values you live (consistently good people can have weak reputations, consistently awful people can duplicitously craft good reputations). Two people can act with honour, courage, and integrity, yet have different reputations. I think Taleb's rhetoric clouds the point.
They are A/B tested for click through and bounce rate, other than the one in the URL. It's a fully hands off process after the headlines are written.
>What does that actually mean though?

It means that Taleb got stupidly, ridiculously lucky with an option trade one time (in a way that he didn't expect or intend) and, as a result, he is rich and therefore people now pay attention to him on all kinds of subjects outside of his expertise.

Runescape private servers anyone? There was a whole scene circa 2012 that reverse engineered the Runescape game client, then built up a dev community of people replicating the game's quests, combat system, leveling system, game loop, multiplayer, chat, etc... with backends written in Java. The community got to a point where prebuilt server "bases" competed in adoption and snippets and tutorials were posted with code that implemented certain functionality built on top of server codebases, that you could copy and paste to create your own Runescape server. What got even more interesting was people creating entirely new game content instead of trying to emulate existing Runescape gameplay, using the same game engine and backends.
That is completing actual tasks for the company. You are effectively acting as a consultant for them. And I have heard of a number of cases of people actually coming back to fix something briefly, which is even further in that direction.
Even if a response is so immediate the recipient can't possibly have had time to parse more than the topic, I'd still regard it as more than a little paranoid to conclude that the most likely purpose for anyone scheduling [more] time in future to speak to you on that specific matter is to avoid the effort of reading what you've written. Unless you're in the habit of mailing people the manual instead of the bullet points they asked for.

Ultimately most people who don't want to take the time to read someone's email properly don't reply to schedule a followup action that will take even more time, they hit mark as read and move on. People who genuinely value others opinions (or want to be seen to) are going to want a followup call anyway, so they might as well pre-arrange it before they've had chance to sit down and read every paragraph and check out your links. Especially if they're also in the habit of insta-replies to avoid "about the email sent 30 minutes ago..." chasers from other people. Sure, it's not impossible their reaction to receiving an email from you is completely irrational dislike of reading well-structured and clear prose, but then they're the one soliciting more explanation rather than being deflated about followup.

Generational References is quite a neat trick, obvious in hindsight! I assume that the general idea is that non-owners really only have "weak" references (and safety comes from the compiler warning/checking that this isn't broken).

One thing though about them is that I assume the generation to be co-located with the memory? If so, then the runtime wouldn't be able to free memory back to the OS while running? (Unless implemented with a side-lookup but that would hamper runtime performance?)

I enjoyed being in the office sometimes. It was nice to get out of my apartment and be around people. I only had like a 4 minute commute, though.

I thought that widespread remote work was putting upward pressure on salaries because it was easier for workers to switch companies. But remote work can also save employees a lot of money and time, so people take remote jobs over higher-paying jobs. No commute, no pressure to live in an expensive area, maybe even no babysitter.

IIRC there are some stepping on Coffee Lake Refresh to support additional mitigation. I wonder what exactly chip used.
Infrared is the only way to see things that are cold (as in not a star) or extremely far away (due to redshift).
Oh, definitely - it wouldn't be used for trivial things like that, at least not for quite a while.

[Edit: hopefully having better mitigations in hardware by then]

My comment didn't follow the thread particularly well, I wasn't so much worried about the everyday person - just that this could be weaponized [against someone/thing]

My worry about this really goes as far as... keep the mitigations enabled. That's it.

A lot of people disable them today because they're aren't dangerous today - if nothing else, offering a countering opinion to change that trend.
> It reads as the integers zero and one are not equal, which is true

That's not what 0!=1 means in math, the ! means factorial, which is to multiply by decreasing positive integers. Here's the definition:

n! = n x (n -1) x (n - 2) x . . . x 2 x 1

So, for people starting to learn calculus/math, being told that 0!=1 makes no sense
here's an example that might help -- you can allow key A to own your identity and key B to move your identity to another key. But key B can only move the identity after a time delay if key A does not cancel it. So key B is not your "real key" -- as long as key A is around it is an inferiorly permissioned key. But if Key A is missing then key B becomes the real key.

the key insight is that smart contracts can be used to transmute keys from single points of ownership into a distributed set of permissions.

you can compose a whole set of recovery systems with this primitive - key B could be your ledger or it could be a friend or it could be a third party service that offers "recovery as a service" where you have to call them and prove your identity before they will recover it back to you.

The TLDR is that Webb can see much further across the universe (and thus much further back in time) and at higher higher resolution than Hubble, and Webb’s primarily Infrared sensors can see through nebulae, space dust and other obstructions better. There are numerous videos on the differences, but here are some I found pretty good:

2. NASA scientist reviewing Webb’s Carina Nebula image, explaining what Webb is unveiling for the first time, and comparing to the same image from Hubble: https://youtu.be/3y6iWi95ypc&t=2m17s

> That shouldn't be a uniqueness constraint as a country may have multiple capitals

And, in theory, two countries could share the same capital (as a condominium which is equal joint territory of both, or some kind of third territory belonging to neither), although I'm not aware that's ever actually happened. But, at the subnational level, it has happened in India – Chandigarh is the joint capital of two Indian states (Punjab and Chandigarh), each of which has it as its capital despite it being in neither of them, as well as being a union territory (and hence also capital of itself).

Ive’s designs definitely changed over time. His history at Apple actually predates the return of Jobs, and he was responsible for much more expressive designs like that of the Twentieth Anniversary Mac, the Newton eMate, the PowerMac G3 AIO, and perhaps most famously the various generations of CRT iMac. It wasn’t until the early 2000s that he started leaning harder into the straight lines and cold metal.
> It's surprising that even in 2022 we haven't fixed that.

If anything, it's much worse now than in the early 20th century. There were tons of working-class writers making a living at fiction writing, then. Tons as a proportion of the population, relative to today, anyway.

Compared to then, now, nobody reads fiction. Except porn (romance novels & erotica). Only genre that's still kinda, almost doing as well as several genres did back then. Possibly even better.
Full disclosure: I am the seller

I was on the fence on posting it on HN but I would have totally jumped on the rare combination of gigabit internet, land, animals, and accessory structures if I had known about it. I work remotely and always wanted the rural lifestyle. Hard to do both without crappy internet. I went through tons of bureaucracy to trench a fiber line out to the property. I have not had as much time as I would like to put into the land so I am trying it to sell it to someone else who can enjoy it.
I appreciate the offer! I definitely would like to hear your thoughts. You can email me at contato [at] confabulistas.com.br

Also, when comparing the deep field images I don't think it can be stressed enough the difference in exposure time between HST and JWST images (Hubble had a 10x longer exposure time). Many many more distant galaxies would become visible in the JWST image with the much longer exposure time. I look forward to seeing some long-exposure deep field images from JWST!

> utilitarian

I wouldn't say so. My feeling with Apple software in the past ~5 years or so is that it's been a slow devolution into "growth & engagement" and catering to idiots (and nudging them to do counter-productive things) rather than true utility.

True utility would be to do a task, do it well, and don't change all the time. Instead, Apple has been devolving more and more into what you'd expect from a typical "growth & engagement" startup, with for example the Music apps on Mac and iOS being only a shadow of their past selves (despite iTunes having real problems).

Design-wise, countless features have been replaced by copious amounts of whitespace and the trend shows no signs of stopping. Say what you want about skeuomorphism, but I'll take anything over absolutely nothing.

You’re confusing the concept of “status quo” (the current state) with the direction of change. Roe took the US outside the mainstream among developed countries. Just a couple of years after Roe, the German constitutional court found that legalized abortion violated the Basic Law’s right to life. In the intervening decades, only a handful of other high courts recognized abortion as a right, rather than a legislative decision. The EHCR repeatedly rejected the idea, even though the EU Convention on Human Rights has an explicit right to privacy.

So yes, undoing Roe returned us to the mainstream.

When I walk back to my desk, my phone locks (due to time out or intentional habit of keeping it locked). Then I have to tap buttons to unlock phone, launch the photo app, and find the image I just took. Then I have to spend time later to delete the image.

Abortion gives women control of their body, no more reason or justification needed.

I whole-heartedly disagree with elective abortions being one of those “what do we do that future generations will view as evil” things. I think the opposite is true and that forced birth is what future generations will view as evil. Younger generations are trending pro-choice. [1]

Unfortunately, the majority of resources available to learn programming are made by professional software developers and they assume what people using their resources want to be professional software developers too.

So they start teaching you about IDEs, git, tests, docker and lots of stuff that is completely unrelated to learn how to program.

Think about it. Why should someone learn about testing code if they don't even know how to code?

Sometimes, all people need is to learn enough programming to make their life easier, like automating Excel spreadsheet stuff or PDF stuff.

Unfortunately, there is nobody to teach things like that.

> I made a deal with myself that I'd charge something for it.

That's smart. It's probably different for short stories, but with novels, "free exposure" is usually problematic unless it's done right. (I'm launching a novel in '23.)

In principle, the ideal price at launch is $0, insofar as you never want price to be an issue for any reader, and you hope to set off an exponential word-of-mouth phenomenon that renders the first few days or weeks of sales irrelevant by comparison. The problem is that, empirically, you don't get the same quality of readers (as measured by likeliness to read, likeliness to finish, likeliness to review, likeliness to write a fair review, and likeliness to write a useful review) with free giveaways as you do when people buy it.

The S-Tier strat might be to give the book away for free while somehow finding a way to command the psychological investment that people would have in a book if they had paid $30 for it.
