More recent versions of Windows also contain the recovery console. I've certainly used it a few times in Win10 & Win8 (had to "fix" my partition tables on a clean Win10 install from Win8). It's not a full-screen terminal like you'd expect if you were "booting to a CLI". It's a windowed terminal sans explorer.exe. It's decently buried in the recovery options, but it's there.

You seem confused about U.S. building practices, the US is quite large and has varied climates and building codes on account of covering a good portion of a continent. The UK latitude would be most equivalent to US building code zone 6 or 7, which has building codes well exceeding the UK in terms of insulation and airtightness.

It's a mix of both imo. Newcomers who don't realize it's satire/trolling and old timers who like the attention, grift opportunity or feeling of leading a movement.
When I was interviewing most recently I always included a question along the lines of “what do you hate here?” And while I didn’t ever hear about firings, I did often hear about issues that regular workers saw in their company. It was enlightening.

Base Model 3: 57.5 kWh battery.

In California, charging at 40c/kWh during the day and discharging at 85c/kWh (for evening peak) would yield about $23 daily - or $8,400 annually.

Most Tesla's retain above 90% battery capacity after 100,000 miles [1]

Completely charging and discharging daily for one year is equivalent to 99,280 miles. A new Model 3 battery pack costs $15,800 [1] currently. 10% degradation is equivalent to $1,580.

Doing this currently would provide a ~7-year payback period on a Model 3.

Great project! Given a local archive of Wikipedia and other sources, this can be very powerful.

Which raises the question: does archive.org offer their Wayback Machine index for download anywhere? Technically, why should anyone go through the trouble of crawling the web if archive.org has been doing it for years, and likely has one of the best indexes around? I've seen some 3rd-party downloaders for specific sites, but I'd like the full thing. Yes, I realize it's probably petabytes of data, but maybe it could be trimmed down to just the most recent crawls.

If there was a way of having that index locally, it would make a very powerful search engine with a tool like yours.

Empty stomachs breed political unrest. A human constant.

Even in middle school history class we were taught that the 1930's rise of fascism wouldn't be possible without the economic downturn that preceded it. And that the French Revolution never would've happened without huge inequalities.

Now this may have been socialist propaganda (middle school was ~6 years after Yugoslavia), but a lot of it rings true.

I think you assume one can measure the time between two events at different locations. I believe Einstein proved you can’t because there’s no way to truly synchronize clocks at different locations.

Another way to say it is that there’s no instantaneous "now" that all observers can agree on. In special relativity, "now" is meaningless. Or rather, "now" depends on the observer’s inertial frame of reference. There’s a nice diagram one can plot, with 1 dimension of space and 1 dimension of time, that shows lines of simultaneous events based on the velocity of a moving observer in another frame of reference.

The airplane bullets story actually shows how success stories can be valuable. If you take them in aggregate and look at what's not there, there are some common themes:

- No one ever says they gave up

- No one ever says they wasted time on petty distractions

- No one ever says they saw a great opportunity and passed on it

etc.
Right. It's here. But to say that it's what SV does will be totally misleading.

Would be interesting to see what percentage of SV's cash inflow is direct defense spending. It's a fraction, but what what fraction?
That seems to be a veiled accusation. Maybe you have heard about Russian bots on TV or something.

Let me clarify my motives for you.

I am not happy with the approach the West has taken in towards this conflict. Most particularly the coup in 2014 and the urging of non settlement early. It has cost the lives of thousands of young Ukrainian men. And for very little purpose. The formerly Russian/ high Russian population areas are going back to Russia. Full stop. This was extremely obvious from the beginning. There was an equitable path forward early, even the return of formerly Russian territories did not have to happen. But the West has become blind and stupid as well as belligerent. Reality is going to smack them squarely in the face soon I think and no amount of propaganda will prevent it.

It did not have to go down like this. A lot of lives could have been saved and suffering prevented. I don't control what Russia does (and I agree, they are looking for geo strategic and economic gain, not to "defend poor Russian speakers"), but anyway, I expect a whole let better from nominal liberal democracies. If you are going to be callous and continue with the murder and deception that has been the defining characteristic the Western order, at least be smart about it. But we have been both callous and stupid. I'm not happy about it. I'll be even less happy if it heats up even more killing millions.

Also, I don't really like extreme bullshit propaganda. I try to see the truth and proclaim the truth best as I can understand it.

Hopefully that clarifies my position.
The great thing about being a monopoly or part of an oligopoly is that you don't have to care about customers. These companies all have dominant market positions where competition is either nonexistent or just as bad.

Customer support costs money and these companies care about making money more than anything else, so it's natural for them to avoid those costs as much as possible.
I never played this, so it's difficult to know the best tricks, but from other similar games, the idea is to discover as much as possible and when you get stuck, use brute force.

In this case I couldn't discover any number, but the row with 32 looks very promising, because 32 is almost 36 that is the maximum. So each square in that row must be 6, 7, 8 or 9.

Also, from the diagonal you can know the sum of the 2x2 square at the top right, and then calculate the sum of the other 2x2 square in the other corners. In particular the sum of the two missing squares in the bottom right is 11.

My totally unsupported guess is to try all the possibilities of the square in the 3rd row, rightmost column (with a 32 in the sum of the row and a 30 in the sum of the column).

If it's a 6, all the other in the row must be 9, so you advance a lot.

If it's a 9, then the other missing square in the bottom right is 2, that is very low and the third column and bottom row look interesting.

With 7 and 8 there may be more work, until you get something interesting.

My preferred method when I'm going to branch like here in 6, 7, 8 and 9, is to make four copies of the board with the current information. Some people just write the guess, but later it's difficult to erase all the deductions from the guess and try another guess. When you are guessing don't be lazy and make a full copy of the board for each of the possible guess.

As you may realize, this created a lot of copies of the board, so the trick is to guess as few times as possible and try to pick a square with very few choices. In this case it's 4 that is too much for my preferences, but I couldn't find anything better. Also I prefer to try first the choices in the extreme that looks less promising, so I can find that it's impossible soon and cross out that copy of the board.

It's essentially backtracking and proof by absurd, implemented in many sheets of paper.
I don't think BSON de-dupes the keys in the manner that JCOF does? But it has other nice properties. In a game I worked on we used a BSON library that didn't really "parse" the data when you loaded a file; it just kept a pointer to the original binary data and let you perform queries against it.

We used this to keep our memory footprint low; instead of loading BSON files we would memmap them (getting a pointer that can be used to read the data right off the disk) and passed that to the BSON library. Bang, we could map a 10MB file and it wouldn't use 10MB of system memory; it would just swap portions in and out as they were used.

This has performance tradeoffs but for us (on mobile, where there is no swap space) the memory savings was worth it.

This is key, there need not be any argument after that. PG wrote about this in his essay on heresy.

Yeah, I'm aware that Riccitiello was the CEO of EA; he was also the CEO of EA from 2007 until 2013, when a lot of the behavior that was called out in the EA Spouse essay was fixed.
> At some point punishment has to end and you move forward in life. The justice system would be a lot more fair if this was applied equally.

I completely agree, but if I am reading your statement right, our conclusions are 180 degrees apart. It seems you are saying it is unfair that some people are forgiven and others aren't and that Milken is getting unjustly punished.

My take is there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people who served more than 2 years for petty offenses, things like selling dime bags of weed. Their convictions follow them for life and make future gainful employment extremely difficult. Yet a highly educated, white collar guy can steal hundreds of millions and serve two years in a luxury prison, and then coast the rest of his life on his ill-gotten gains. That is no justice at all, and I don't feel the least bit sorry for hoping that Milken's reputation never recovers.

The environmental argument for speed limits is ridiculous because many places have a carbon tax/other taxes meant to capture the unpriced environmental cost that accrues to the commons. With the carbon tax the person doing the speeding is paying for any excess harm they to the environment they may be doing and is willing to pay that cost in order to go faster so they should be able to go faster. If you don't think the cost of carbon is properly priced argue to raise your carbon tax, don't argue to add additional special taxes for various things you don't like.
Sure, some companies are but how many? How vitriolic is the backlash when certain firms try to work with the DOD vs. China (thinking about Project Maven, ICE contracts, etc. when many companies work with a regime perpetuating an actual genocide). His personal political views aside, I think Silicon Valley as a whole until recently was not enthusiastic about working with government and especially not the DOD (in no small part this was gov's fault- insane procurement processes and sales cycle meant they were an awful customer) but hopefully they're getting their shit together with the creation of things like DIU, Afwerx, Navalx, etc. and the private sector is realizing how important it is to work with a government that has democratic values and is trying to uphold those globally instead of working with say China who helps to prop up Russia while they ravage Ukraine.
Only 13000 people in the US die of AIDS each year. Is the flu worse than AIDS? How about rabies? Less than five deaths per year in the US. What would you rather have. I'll even concede that Omicron has a higher infection fatality rate than the typical flu strain, but both are well under 1% and those death totals have much more to do with transmissibility than severity.

I feel that the deterministic computing theologists are going to be in for a rude awakening over time. Computing need not be perfect to work and the thing about recent advancements in ML is that they scale Extremely well.
People often confuse necessary vs complete criteria for success.

The classic example is being smart, getting educated call office and working hard.

They won't guarantee success but it certainly improves your personal chances versus doing the exact opposite.
What do you mean by this? It seemed idiomatic but I can't find examples of other people using this phrase.
Tonight I went for a walk with the 15 yo son of my neighbour who said he wants to start his own company and have 1 million by the time he turns 18. I asked him, what do you have in mind? He said, I want to build a company that is cash positive and then reinvest its profit in itself and grows.

I told him this really does not mean anything. You need to have concrete steps toward this goal which is only 3 years away.

I think those who really wants to achieve the so-called "success" will just go figure it out rather than constantly reading those success story. Yeah perhaps at the very beginning of the journey you get inspired by reading a few of those.

But the rest is basically taking concrete steps and trying stuff out until it sticks. And the best way to do that is to go figure out HOW those people in the success story did it.

At least at the end he was happy with the answer.

It's a distinction without a real difference. Calling an "assumption local to a theory" an axiom is fine. We have axiomatizations of both general relativity and quantum mechanics, for instance.

Agree that I should not just stick Rc everywhere. The use of borrow checkers makes a lot of sense at a macro scale, i.e: libraries, APIs. But, I’m just wondering the justification for using Rc in a smaller scope, say inside my own implementation of a trait. If I am to provide external APIs then yes, sticking Rc everywhere would not be a good idea ergonomically.
the NSDAP rose to power and started world war 2 with just an conspiracy theory that "the jew" was trying to kill the arian race and the world was secretly controlled by them. The modern conspiracy theories are just variants of the old ones. The modern theories replace "the jew" just with unspecified groups, families which are jewish/are descedants of jews or make political enemies non human to legitimise attacks against them.
As far as I remember, it's from a tech blog or tech history book, but I can't quite remember the exact source right now.

In any case, we know Gates father was a lawyer - according to Wikipedia he
"co-founded the law firm Shidler McBroom & Gates in 1964, which later became a part of Preston Gates & Ellis LLP (PGE). He practiced with the firm until 1998, when it was merged into the firm now known as K&L Gates. During his career he served as president of both the Seattle/King County Bar Association and the Washington State Bar Association.
Gates served on the boards of numerous organizations in the Pacific Northwest, including the Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce, King County United Way and Planned Parenthood. In 1995, he founded the Technology Alliance, whose mission is to expand technology-based employment in Washington".

Regarding his wife, we should state he had two wives, and the second wife apparently had a museum-related career. Gates II first wife, Mary Maxwell Gates
was also not a lawyer but studied education, first worked as a school-teacher
and then had various board positions.

So I retract my initial claim "they were lawyers working for IBM" and replace it by the more precise "Gates father was a lawyer and her mother was on various boards and they both allegedly knew people inside IBM were looking for an operating system at the time".

EDIT: I'm based in Europe and a different age group - maybe some HN are from the Washington area and actually witnessed this, it would be quite interesting to learn more about how IBM and Gates actually got together, roles of parents and other intermediaries.

A fair point.

Prompted me to check if the higher zstd levels worked any better on my 84MB fake social graph - nope - and then if LZMA was any good - yes, `lzma` at 5 or higher on the raw JSON beats `jcof | lzma` by ~2M every time. `lzma -4` beats it by ~400k.

If I sort my object keys (a la `jq -S`), `lzma` beats `jcof|lzma` at every level (`gzip` never gets close, `zstd` gets closer.)
Rockets require suitable fuels.

The original Chinese designs relied on gunpowder. This is self-oxydising and burns rapidly, but has a comparatively low power density, roughly 1/10th that of liquid petroleum fuels.

Liquid fuel such as alcohol and oil existed, but the notion let alone the availability of oxidizers didn't until the early 19th century. The first use of liquid oxygen in rockets didn't occur until 1926, by Robert Goddard.

Hypergolics or solid rocket motors would have been other options, but both are still pretty advanced. I've no idea how likely they'd have been.

One of the more viable solid fuels might have been rocket candy, made of sugar and usually potassium nitrate as an oxidizer. Both would have been available.

Whether or not that would generate sufficiently strong and reliable thrust for a steampunk JATO launch, I'm not sure.
What? Every comment I've heard in the last six months has been sounding the alarm for famine.
The analogy to the world war 2 bomber story is applicable only if you accept the core premise of the article: that most of it boils down to luck.

If the successes of the successful really are the result of their decisions, planning, approach, or other action on their behalf, then where the bullet holes wound up on an airplane isn't analogous.

I personally do think that luck has a lot to do with it, but it's not sheer luck, it's recognizing opportunity and capitalizing. Yes, the iPhone wouldn't exist if it weren't for the DoD building GPS. But the DoD building GPS didn't make the iPhone either. Apple made the iPhone, while other competitors tried to make something like it. It was the decisions that led to the iPhone that can teach us about it's success.

Every set of decisions occurs within an environment. The parameters of that environment can be called "luck" if you want, and success within that environment can be ascribed to the environment itself by way of the word "luck." But looking at it that way tells you less about success than the success stories. After you armor the engines and you get more planes making it home, you don't call that luck, you call that good decision making. And you ascribe the success to the decisions, you don't dismiss them as survivorship bias.
