My wife and I just moved back to the US after living in NZ for 1.5 years. Sure, the cost of living is higher and yes the pay is lower. We went in knowing both of those things. NZ is a great country for people who love nature and the outdoors. The citizenry seem to have a higher level of respect for nature and how to protect it.

There is also socialized medicine and the ACC covering all accidents on NZ soil is great, so comparing costs directly isn't the same.

However not everything is great, it does feel a little isolating being on the other side of the world on a tiny island and their covid controls did start to feel a little draconian. (Even after we got more than 90% of the eligible population vaxed we were still in a strict lockdown with almost no-one allowed through the borders).

Overall I was sad to leave, but our families are both in the US and ultimately it was time to come home.
Separately, as advice to potential couples: get a pre-nup. Resolves any awkward beliefs about money up front. Discloses assets and liabilities so no financial skeletons in the closet. Establishes who has what before the nuptials and frankly fast forwards your relationship to see if it is strong enough to handle a "difficult" conversation and negotiation. Lets you establish what claims your spouse will have to your future earnings, and how you will resolve paying for joint assets.

Money is one of the top things couples inevitably have disagreements about and resolving this up front saves a lot of future angst.

Ounce of prevention is a pound of cure as they say.

I think you have a fallacy there concerning consciousness and life being transferred into it's cyborg enhancements and then as if animating them. Consciousness and life are equivalent to me, and if you would disagree with this premise you could of course reach different conclusions and be intellectually coherent. Like I said I think your fallacy concerns your consciousness = life being transferred into your cyborg enhancements in the first place. You are not your eyeglasses, right? And you are not your exocortex of the internet. Therefore you also are not your not - living brain cell prostheses although your living system would be kind of tricked into believing so. Therefore as the last vestige of living tissue dies in Major from Ghost In A Shell, she dies and is no more and there will be only a lifeless machine left. That's my perception of the matter based on my premises.

[Edit] Of course in GIAS - universe there would still be the ghost of Major left in the spirit world. But she wouldn't link with the machine, only the life, I think. I think her ghost would essentially simply be her psychoplasmic material life autonomized from it's infrastructural base the physical body, as what comes to the ugly scientific basis for the process.

And anyway, even if by some kind of wetware - extension the original life would come to animate and interface with the synthetic, then it would still be trapped in it's that body and it's copy would simply be another separate although exactly identical individual.

> Being in the top 20 of tetris players is going to be very rewarding

I was a pretty high-level Scrabble player, devoting a handful of years of my life to it, and it’s one of the biggest regrets I have. Total waste of time and only a attempt to ignore the other things I hated about my life.
I bought a ASUS CXB170CKA-212.BCLN6 Chromebook in March 2022 (for USD150; it's not a high-end model). According to ASUS, "The Chrome OS AUE(Auto Update Expiration) date [for this model] is June 2029."[0]

I consider 7 years to be many more than "a few years".

>The PS3 was an extraordinarily expensive console, between the cell processor and the bluray drive (iirc this alone was several hundred dollars)

Sony singlehandedly did a lot toward adoption of both DVD and Blu-ray, by the PS2 and PS3. The former's ability to play DVDs out of the box was a huge differentiator between it and GameCube/Xbox. My understanding is that PS3 at launch was not only the cheapest Blu-ray player available by several hundred dollars, but also excellent quality.

>It was a financial disaster for sony really, moves like ripping out the embedded ps2 make complete sense in that context

You can see that in the history of PS3 variants. It's normal for consoles to get a major redesign to cut costs late in their history, typically just before or after the successor is out. PS3 redesigns were a) many and b) very early in the console's lifetime, relatively speaking.
> If they're taking shots at you with the intent of harming you, that's already a crime; in most jurisdictions it's called assault with a deadly weapon or something similar. The basis for such laws is that having someone intentionally shoot at you, even if they miss, is a harm in and of itself. But that theory does not generalize to any action that carries a risk of causing harm.

You can't lean on the argument that the harmless act of shooting and missing is a already a crime while simultaneously arguing that drunk driving should not be a crime unless the driver connects. You really need to decide what amount of reckless disregard for another life constitutes a 'harm' and should be criminalized.
It is a cell. It is also a human life.
I noticed this weird doublespeak as well. I noticed that in Poland (where I live), permanent residents from the "west" refer to themselves as "expats" while working in the same office, same position, side by side with ukrainian "immigrants".
Weird.
I don't think that $100 for a tetanus injection is particularly cheap in Thailand.
(IANAL)

Reading this case, I'm surprised at the outcome. The seller fulfilled on the terms of the contract.

The contract also didn't specify the precise color or weight of the cotton, the exact destination, etc etc etc so the defendant could make similar claims to renege on the contract.

Granted, time is arguably special inasmuch as it allows the seller to construct a scenario for fulfillment, e.g. the seller could've delivered 100 years later on a new boat that happened to be named Peerless. That's clearly not the intent.

In that sense, a contract can be considered void if it doesn't reasonably specify time.
one anecdote that might be relevant is that on bitwarden when I go to generate a new password, I can let my password be 64 characters long, have symbols, uppercase, lowercase etc. I can even make it generate a key phrase

You’re an expat if you’re white, otherwise you’re an immigrant.
> but land costs for example aren’t dropping.

In the US, land is widely available at around $1000/acre. The current cost to cover that with PV is around $100,000/acre (depending on the fill factor).

So, land costs are not a substantial obstacle to reduction in the cost of PV energy.

Ask HN: Which would you choose for your dev tools?
If you were to have a dev tool with 2 interfaces, which 2 would you pick _for yourself_ and why?

Interfaces that come to mind:

- Web UI: GitHub

- Native App: there are many I've seen; don't use

- Terminal Command: git

- Terminal UI: tig
It's more akin to pulling the shoelace, and the door closes on your fingers. Oh no, doors are unsafe, how utterly broken.

Or, more like, if there's an attacker hiding in your house, while you're setting up the shoelace door thing for some odd reason, they could slam the door on your fingers. Oh no, how were we ever allowed to have doors, so criminally unsafe.
A world powered by PV will be mostly powered by larger scale ground mounted PV, not by PV on the roofs of homes and businesses.
Once upon a time, the word "deluxe" carried valuable meaning when prefixing/suffixing a product.

I didn't say that. Hopefully it's not necessary for me to go through a lecture on logic and standard English to explain why.

"Pregnancy works best for people with uteruses" doesn't mean that pregnancy works fantastically for every person with a uterus.

> I wouldn’t rule out a nation state “practice” attack though.

I would...

Backbone routers scattered across the country suddenly go dark, nobody has any idea what happened, and logs are missing? Sure, you can pin that on nation-states if you want. Or APTs, Annoyingly Persistent Teenagers, depending on the style of the attack.

"Physically going into another nation and cutting their infrastructure up" is closer to an act of war than most nations will get for "practice."

> my favourite is when patients subjected to corpus callosotomy probably function as two independent brains and yet the individual cannot tell from inside, it doesn't "feel" like two people

My layman interpretation of this fact is that consciousness/sentience doesn't originate in the cerebral cortex, but rather, within deeper brain structures.

> Replacement won’t be 1:1.

What do you mean by this? We would surely produce more calories per gallon of water if we, say, swapped beef with chicken (or plants). I guess we might not replace beef with beef, but that wouldn't be a replacement, so that wouldn't make sense.

It’s extraordinary because the ML was trained (iow programmed) to generate text that sounds real. It’s doing what it was programmed to do.

It was presumably not programmed to be sentient, so becoming sentient would be a) against its programming, and b) extra-ordinary
Wouldn't be a huge problem for me. If I am merely operating a device, then the touchscreen is good enough. For serious work, I use external peripherals anyway.
I've been working remotely on and off for 20 years, and consistently for the last 10 years.

A few suggestions:

- Choose to not make every day the same. You're free! Once or twice a week, take a train or bus to a different place for the day, somewhere with good cell signal. Work from a national park, or a beach, a café, pub, museum, library, take a river cruise... whatever. There's nowhere in the world that has nothing to offer. Just get into the habit of picking somewhere different than home and going there to work for a day. In your breaks and before/after working, explore, relax... Just enjoy yourself somehow.

- Be deliberate about arranging calls with coworkers, friends, family. Just hang out on a call. Go for a walk while you take these calls, or do something other than sit in a chair.

- If you don't already have hobbies, you want to discover some that you enjoy. Do something that creates nice memories with your spare time, and that isn't the same as your work, or just relaxing. Once you've got one or more hobbies, if you're missing social interaction, find a (local/regional/national/International) group, meet up, society or some other form of community. Join it and participate. In person, online, maybe travel to go to events related to it. You'll quickly find your people this way. There are friends and partners out there for everyone.

- if you're not happy with where you live... move! It might not seem possible, but it is. Whatever the hurdles, you can get over them. Remote work is freedom to choose your environment. Choose it.
You can get land in upstate NY for $1000/acre. There's a lot of cheap rural land even on the east cost.

Arguing that Manhattan is expensive therefore PV doesn't work is like arguing Manhattan is expensive therefore agriculture doesn't work.
It may be safe in by itself, but using a painkiller only masks the pain, the underlying issue is addressed later or never and that can create problems for you.

Also when the body signals with pain, that needs attention and treatment, taking painkillers frequently may make one ignore a real problem, which perhaps had it been taken more seriously and treated earlier may save lives.
Thanks, I missed this on the first read-through. I wonder how it compares to similar-tier ARM computers.
The study about an millionaire having 7 sources of income is often misunderstood and misquoted.
I believe this is the original report : https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-soi/14rpoverthetopbournerosenmer...
and then multiple streams that people often quote are not multiple streams, but multiple forms, like investment income, rental income, royalties, earned income etc.

The study is actually quite insightful if you read it for what it is and not what you want it to be.

I have also found this video to be quite insightful : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF5H7ch2Ngg

The UAE gets a lot of expats because a firehose of money plus a low cost of living (taxes, cars, maids, eating out etc) compared to most anywhere in the Western world makes up for a lot of other issues.
Please don't take this as criticism, but your last paragraph sounds similar to the initial vision behind Theranos. That's not meant to imply that it's a bad idea.

Absolutely, corn is a very nutrient, heat, and light intensive crop.

The added buffer would allow for doing crop rotations including more legumes and cover crops to reduce fertilizer usage. If we need to grow less food, we can be less demanding from the soil as well. Perhaps we could build soil rather than destroy it.

Several studies show that these models yield excellent crops with fewer inputs, but it’s hard as hell to compete when you go low and slow with ag.

I suppose as long as we want to export food, we’ll need to continue our insane resource intensive methods, ignoring the externalities, in order to stay competitive.

Hah, I bought this exact Chromebook (from the same store, too -- maybe a Best Buy exclusive model?) too.

I got an even better deal on it. Over the July 4th weekend, it was on sale for $79.

Overall, it works pretty well considering the cost. Keyboard is OK, build quality is OK, Wi-Fi works fine, USB C charging works fine (its bundled charger can rapid charge my phone, my phone's charger can charge the Chromebook), and performance is very livable for basic web browsing and watching TV shows.

The only thing that does suck is the display. If you stay within a few degrees of the ideal viewing angle, it's decent enough, but get even a little too far off axis and it looks really bad.
exactly - it is meant to approximately work as a localized AWS environment for use during development, and for writing "unit" tests, and basic integration tests.

A full on, end-to-end testing is still required, but with localstack, you can run those once after you've completed development.
Barring the sky falling, our best bet for NP hard problems is approximate solutions that have provable lower bounds on approximation ratio.

From that purview, a general heuristic for approximating combinatorial optimization problems would be a godsent. Even if algorithms like the QAOA do not improve(or tightly match) approximation ratios beyond that of a carefully crafted classical algorithm... A turn key algorithm on a coherent high-qubit-count quantum computer would change the industrial use landscape forever. The number of developer hours saved would be uncountable.

We're just aiming way too dang high.

Now we can do One Laptop Per Child. [1]

[1] The project originally aimed for a price of 100 US dollars. In May 2006, Negroponte told the Red Hat's annual user summit: "It is a floating price. We are a nonprofit organization. We have a target of $100 by 2008, but probably it will be $135, maybe $140."[32] A BBC news article in April 2010 indicated the price still remained above $200: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Laptop_per_Child

>much has been learned about how a consciousness experiences certain degradations of the brain.

A good book on this is the late neurologist Oliver Sachs' "The Man who Mistook his Wife for a Hat". It's a collection of interesting cases of exactly this sort. And Sachs was a wonderful author and speaker. Really recommend his talks as well.

Worth reading Deep Packet Inspection is Dead: https://security.ias.edu/deep-packet-inspection-dead-and-her...

This tool is great, but I religiously route all my traffic through a VPN that I own and control. I’ve hardened the box I use to have zero logs and I don’t need to blindly trust a commercial provider whether they’ve been audited or not. There’s no way of really knowing they’re not logging in some capacity bar from being physically in their server room and inspecting their setup.

Add to the VPN a DoH resolver that I own and control too, and it makes things even better. I also block port 80 on my machine as an extra measure. No need to be using port 80 in this day and age except for captive portals which I rarely ever have to use.

People ignore questions for a variety of reasons, mainly they didn't hear it, they didn't understand it, or they aren't interested in answering. Unless and until this AI can communicate that sort of thing, it's safest to just assume it didn't ignore the question so much as it got its wires crossed and answered it wrongly.
Maybe it does depend on the location, maybe you're lucky. But the complains process with DHL is impossible, so if you have bad delivery ppl in your area (in my case downtown Berlin), there's nothing you can do.

Lemme put it this way. You know how people pay accountants to do their taxes or get a plumber to repair their sink? They can all be done theoretically by the user but it costs time to fix + time to learn about how to fix.

> Does it suggest anything we can do for racial disparities (besides awareness) that we don't need to do for poverty anyway?

Why not do both?

> And while we're at it, why do US-based affirmative action programs not distinguish between descendants of slaves and recent immigrants from Africa

Slavery impacted affected West Africa as well. The trade eventually destroyed communities leaving them vulnerable to colonization and exploitation.

Some African countries have former slaves e.g. Liberia. Individual slaves were traded multiple times across different countries. Do you include slaves when America was a British colony or only after the revolutionary war.

I assume Affirmative action policies pertain to current racism not just past racism.
