I didn't change the game. That is literally what the tweet was conveying. It then expanded the first claim by what was also a correct statement that each atom could be replaced with a universe of atoms, and still that would not not exceed the number of states in a Kilobyte of memory.

What many people have done is interpret that to mean that somehow complexity theory is broken or that the tweet author was arguing for multiverses. It appears that not everyone actually read the tweet.

> What you’re saying is true— if you replace an abstract state with an atom

That is not at all what was written in my comment. There is no replacement being mentioned anywhere.
The rules aren't strict enough IMO but the observed variation is very low in practice.
Australia allows very similar amounts of wriggle room in theory [1].

Most people I know in Australia with ADHD are treated with generics (very common among my friend group for some reason) and none that I am aware of have noticed any substantial differences between generics and brand name equivalents but I couldn't quickly find any studies that have investigated this.

I wonder if that is due to variation in balance of the included amphetamines (as most of these are multiple active ingredients) though as I doubt that the inactive ingredients would play a significant part.

Ok your explanation makes sense but I don't see how what you said related to the single qualifier presented: being intrinsically valuable, and gp states it as if it were an accepted rule of thumb for all economics, not specific to the internet.
Local taxi companies also weren't in a position to arrange to burn through millions and millions in cash from VCs.

Their water usage is only part of the problem. Extensive over-use of fertilizers which then end up in water ways is just as bad, if not worse.

My solution is to use a different manufacturer for each drive in a mirror. The prices are usually pretty similar and you get to make sure that one firmware bug doesn't kill your entire pool.
assuming that held true across the board, that's a ~35% reduction. What if it was only half that? Round down, and say generic policy might 'only' save 15%. 15% of 10s of billions of dollars (hundreds? can't find full numbers right now) is significant.
The C64 was pretty much the best of all the 8-bit machines of that epoch, except maybe for super high-end MP/M boxes. It shipped with the full complement of RAM such machines could handle without banking, its CPU was a lot faster than that of the CP/M machines and TRS-80s, it included a sophisticated audio synthesizer, and it had the kinds of color and hardware-accelerated scrollable tiles and sprites that made it possible to do decent 2-D games. Its text resolution wasn't anything special but at least it had lowercase, and it had enough RAM to bitmap the whole screen, even if you couldn't put arbitrary colors everywhere.

The NES (a few years later) had better graphics, and the Apple //e had better text, but the C64 was pretty much the overall champ.

There are 8-bit machines today like the Arduino that can run circles around the C64 in some ways, because they're made with dramatically better fabrication technology so they can run much faster; is that what you mean about it not being a good 8-bit machine? I've synthesized audio on an Arduino that you couldn't have done on the C64.

Obsolete, though, it certainly is.

Please do better. This is incredibly naive and insulting.
The alcohol restriction is at the state level, so some stores do require a membership.

Namely : Arizona, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Texas, & Vermont have laws that ban requiring memberships for the purchase of alcohol.

IIRC, Costco's lobbiests played a large role in Washington's privatization of liquor sales, and the final law did not include such a restriction.

For those interested, the break even on a 2% cash back membership is at the $2k/year.
My point was that what you are referring to does not represent personal injury in the US. You can be angry at specific instances like you describe, but it's totally unrepresentative.

A lot of people blame Steam, but I'm willing to accept this risk. I didn't buy games before Humble Bundle and Steam, and if it all collapses, I'd probably pirate it somewhere or get it off sites similar to Home of the Underdogs.

The licensing allows them to do things like this, but frankly, the odds of it happening is extremely low, like 1 in a thousand, and the lower prices make up for the risk.
Define wanted? In Australia's case they're 'wanted' by the government insofar as the PM that tried to get rid of them was unlawfully ejected from parliament. Tye populace are at best indifferent, and this is after decades of pro US propaganda.

Most of these 'wanted' bases are wanted in the same way the subjects of any other protection racket want their opressor.

ADHD medication is an excellent example illustrating the potential "wiggle room" differences between generics and brand drugs. The composition is similar enough to meet FDA generic drug standards, but the rate at which the generic drug mechanisms distribute the drug differs and potentially decreases treatment efficacy for many patients.

Though, I do wonder if Vyvanse becoming a generic brand will help solve this dilemma, because the release mechanism is tied closer to the individuals metabolism via hydrolysis of an amino acid rather than relying on release rates set by minor manufacturing differences.
Apparently if you do zero estimating (or just count the amount of stories), it makes ZERO difference when calculating your cumulative-flow diagram.

> Do you have any reference for your claim about Steve Ballmer?

It was some years ago in the Seattle Times. Sorry I didn't keep a clipping.

I was also injured once in a car accident, being hit by a garbage truck. The ambulance people told me I hit the jackpot. People came out of the woodwork recommending personal injury lawyers who could set me up for life. People at work all told me I had the million dollar injury. People were coaching (unasked) me on how to pretend I was much more injured than I was.

All I asked for was to pay the medical bills and lost time at work and my car. The opposition lawyer was aghast, and was certainly eager to sign that deal.

But I'm just imagining things, right?

I could be wrong about the chemistry set emasculation. But just a couple weeks ago on HN there was a long thread about the wussification of school playgrounds.
>Second, not everyone is equipped to earn a PhD by significantly advancing our knowledge in a useful field. In fact, the majority of people are not.

And even if equipped (whatever that means exactly) many simply have no interest in doing so. I assume I could have gotten into a PhD program of some sort had I had my heart set on it. (I did get a couple of Masters--and mostly quite enjoyed them.) But had very little interest in getting a PhD--and find the idea retrospectively even less appealing today.
and all of that combined is like a regular wedensday for US.
Yeah. I almost think of Costco as a privatized utopian socialist mini-state. One should pay to be a good citizen. ... But then I've also thought it would be cool to build an app to help people organize trips to Costco from "food deserts" to split memberships and bulk-sized items and the bill.

Also, once on a trip to Hawaii with my wife and extended family I had my arm around my wife in the Costco checkout line. I mentioned that "it feels so good and so right." My wife was at first flattered and then realized I was talking about the universality of the Costco experience.
> a sign of moral/intellectual degradation, and--surprise!--it never really is.

I'm not sure how you'd measure that... Right now there seems to be a heart disease and obesity epidemic, which I understand is primarily due to sugar and processed foods, but I find it hard to believe the massive amounts of TV watching and computer use plays no role in that, if not a significant one.

With TV, there was also the passivity effect, people were just fed a diet of propaganda with little way to do much about it, whereas now at least there's some choice although I'm not sure we're much better off and what the tradeoffs are. Prior to TV and radio, people weren't very educated at all, so it's kind of hard to compare. We don't get the science experiments we need out of natural development.

Then, I can't know but I wonder if a society where more reading and radio wouldn't be better in some important ways.

Then, yeah what if TV is like coffee but a certain kind of Internet use does turn out to be like a more addictive drug...
Just because the chinese oligarchs give themselves government titles and the US oligarchs do not is no reason to believe they're not the ones in control.
I'm going to speculate that the 2022 refinery incidents are coincidence.

US refineries are operating at or close to maximum capacity in response to high gasoline prices. You can't open a new one in any short amount of time, so the operators are trying to squeeze as much capacity as they can from that stone.

It's possible that the operating headroom that they believed they had is turning out to be insufficient for current, sustained production levels.
Ever drive a car like the one you're describing? It's a rough situation to be in to have to put 1k into a car worth 2k to keep it going, or to have your car break down and force you to call out from work on short notice. That's far from free.
Honestly GPU mining ending would be an amazing thing. There is nothing but negatives coming out of GPU mining for the vast majority of people:

1. GPU mining sucks up absurd amounts of power. This is terrible for the environment because this is just a straight increase in the amount of electricity required for the grid to function - this will inevitably result in more electricity being produced via dirtier methods as opposed to renewable methods because the amount of renewable electricity we are producing is far outpaced by the increase in electricity required due to mining.

2. It, for an incredibly long time, caused there to be virtually no stock in the GPU market for people using them for purposes that aren't mining (gaming, research computing, etc), especially in the middle of the pandemic when chip supplies were already at an extreme low. It also caused scalpers to crawl out of their various holes because they saw they could make a profit by overcharging people extreme amounts for the limited supply of GPUs that weren't being used for mining.

Gauges locking to the "ideal" value when sufficiently close to it is a common UI pattern. Car dashboard gauges do this a lot - fuel gauges usually show "full" at anything over about 80% - often you'll suddenly see a point where the gauge drops from full to a little over 3/4. This is so you can refill a rental car, etc, and it's still "full" once you get back. Temperature gauges also stick heavily to the "normal" point to reduce anxiety around perceived slight overheating.

i reckon uber could make this a more difficult thing to occur by matching the GPS signals and location data.

> and replaced it with a copy of the observable universe, and then did it again

Sorry, it was totally in the tweet. Literally used the word replaced
Bioequivalent as judged by the FDA does not at all mean identical.

ETA: The fact that generics are not “literally identical” is probably the most important scientific, policy, and commercial consideration in that industry. FDA has to determine whether the benefits of lower costs justify the potentially lower efficacy, and set bounds for how different a generic can be and still count as “bioequivalent.”
Part D plans are privately administered by companies that are supposed to compete with each other. The prices aren't just whatever the drug companies want.
Yes it could be tricky, and they really tend to cross-pollinate. The best way is to not grow it close to non-edible Curcubitaceae, which can be tricky in an environment with neighbors around. Also you don't tend to eat a lot of bitter melon at once maybe that could reduce the risk.
I’m confused if your point is that the USA didn’t end up completely ruling over Afghanistan, so their military occupation and genocide is excusable?

You are apparently familiar with archaeology since you have commented several times on this thread and it is possible from some posts to infer that you may be familiar with operations in this region. If that is accurate how do you interpret these rock structures?

I have included one that I found [0] out near Khaybar on Google Earth. I studied it for quite a while and decided that though it is probably multiple overlapping structures that may not be related, it could be interpreted as I have in my own analysis. What are your thoughts on this? I am wrong I know but this jumped out at me from this complex arrangement.

Crimea never belonged to Ukraine.

It was in the Soviet era that Crimea was made part of Ukraine. Once an Ukrainian govt hostile to Russia took over it was inevitable that Russian tanks would move in.

Why do guys like you think that Russia is ready to cut of direct control of a port important to its maritime and naval operations? When America invaded Panama to guarantee its control of the Panama canal where were you?

When Britain tried to wrest control of the Suez canal back from Egypt after Egypt nationalized it, which the US deliberately sabotaged where were you?

Ukraine has been invaded simply because Russia will not tolerate a Government serving a hostile US on its border.
That would be such a limp remedy. It's basically just what can be done right now without the legal blessing.

We’re talking about about a guy who only has $5,000 on hand to buy the first car. Those transaction costs are dwarfed by interest payments.

I highly doubt his time spent at the tag office and at the dealer buying those cars is going to be worth more than ~$1,500, which is roughly what you’d pay in interest for a 5 year note at 3% interest.

This isn’t how it works.

You can’t use co-pay cards with publicly funded insurers like Medicare and Medicaid. It’s regarded as “inducement”.

Only private insurers can accept co-pay cards.
I don’t know about the food court, but alcohol is definitely true for legal reasons in some states. In Connecticut our local Costco had its alcohol sales in a separate entrance next to the main warehouse, on the opposite end from the tire department.

To add another one, the same is true nationwide for their optometrists, you can get your eyes checked there without a membership but won’t be able to buy glasses. If you want a place to get your prescription without a hassle from the optometrist (who is legally required to give you the prescription but isn’t necessarily happy about that), Costco is a reliable option.

His point isn't mainly about individuals looking for jobs. It's about the economic environment for doing business in a country. You're basically forced to hand over your IP if you want to operate in China, among many other problems.

And btw, the job market for very qualified people in China arguably at least rivals the one in Europe, i.e. you can get better salaries in China than in large parts of Europe.

The article is right if you look at computers as standalone devices. The problem is, they aren't standalone devices for most people. Even prior to the popularity of the Internet, people exchanged documents. With the rise of the Internet, people started consuming more and from more sources. Interoperability became more important, and other people started defining standards that were well beyond the capabilities of 8-bit micros. The C64, among others, were doomed.

(For what it's worth, I was encountering people who used 8-bit micros well into the late 90's. They were happy with what they had, but they were also very much using their computers in isolation.)
> It’s a huge rip off. Medicare should be paying a discount to the median price actually paid on the open market. But apparent nobody has an incentive to fix this.

This is utterly wrong. First of all, Medicare Part D covers pharmacy benefits. Part D is supplemental insurance purchased by seniors from a private insurance company. If you are too poor, I think you go on Medicaid. Also, Medicare Part D plans DO pay less than commercial plans.

This study is probably complete B.S. because no one knows how much is paid in drug rebates. Manufacturers pay the insurance companies (including Medicare) huge amounts of money (back) for prescription drug utilization coming from their members. In short, it's a legal kick-back. And I'm not kidding, it's a huge amount of money (like 20% - 30% of the reimbursement price)

U.S. drug pricing is broken for many reasons, and sorry to call you out, but nothing that you said is true. Everybody gets ripped off by big pharma, not just the government.
Imagine the myriad of scenarios that exist between your two extremes.

You know you need this car for 10+ years, you want it to suit you and your family, so you get a 20k loan and get the one you that will be best now. Why waste your time and money with the beater? You would spend morein the long run than the cost of the interest on the loan (essentially the cost of purchasing now not later)

Debt is a calculated risk, with a clear cost, and plenty of people are fully capable of doing the math.

Don’t try to force anything please or you’re going to lose the joy in life.

The joking I know myself as well, in childhood I was pretty much the worst class clown you can imagine and it continued until I was 21 or so. Usually there seems to be another issue at its core. I stopped doing this after starting to meditate - watching the jokes form in your head - not reacting to them - then seeing them for what they really are. Maybe that could help you as well.

In my case, I found this to be caused partly by my upbringing, a slight emotional neglect that developed together with untreated ADHD and an association of joking to feeling accepted and seen. I still joke now, but I’ve found great enjoyment in a deeper kind of humor that I hide in completely neutral rational discussions and then hits much harder out of the blue. Taking a step back, detaching from thought, allows you to be so much more clever and refined.
