I just skimmed this - but I didn't see any reference to the fact that clubhouse basically failed. I think you can absolutely learn a lot from failure, but doing so does require you to realize that failure has happened. The vibe I get from this is more "how to recreate the success I experienced at clubhouse" which doesn't seem quite as valuable to me.

Clubhouse is in a rare position - they exploded, were definitely in hyper growth, and then disintegrated. Clubhouse seemed like it hit an effect where the network stopped being a positive. When they were small and used by elite people, they were super popular and exclusive. When everyone got in there it was basically clubs for... I don't even know how to name the people, but not really that valuable. Basically like a nightclub - cool if it's exclusive and lame if everyone can go in. I'd much rather read an insider's take on this unique perspective.
Well if you taxed people like Elon sufficiently maybe we would be able to use that to afford everyone in the country food, medical supplies and care, and more robust public transport. That quality of life increase to the public is certainly an example of an increase in wealth. You go from having no food to having it, having no healthcare to being covered, having less options for mobility to having more. These are valuable things that are now in greater abundance for you, that by definition is an increase in wealth.

> lessening of US Navy projection of power

While they continue to have more money allocated to them, operational mishaps occur more often, and navies look increasingly vulnerable in a real fight (see for instance the Moskva). Clearly "at least some of that military spending in the past was extremely effective and useful" isn't sufficient guidance on how to continue spending money.
doesn't seem impossible to do that. pretty cool tech
I wish we could all move on from saying "diverse backgrounds" and just say what we really mean: "not white".
Have you experienced both being a renter and a homeowner? If you haven't, owning a home will open your eyes. Should, anyway.
I could see this working with vim folding. That's an interesting approach. I never really used folding in IDEs.
> Do I wish it was more functional? Absolutely. But it doesn't aspire to be that.

I somewhat disagree about the aspirations. Have you tried out things like switch expressions and LINQ? You can apply functional concepts almost everywhere these days. Complex state machines can be modeled using 100% functional techniques.
All: nationalistic flamewar is not ok on HN, regardless of which country you have a problem with. Yes, there is a war going on. That makes following this rule harder, and also makes it more important.

The reason is simple: to prevent objects from getting to an invalid state.

The set of property values of an object is its state, and you can model every possible valid state and state transition. Not every state is valid. If you allow all variables to be touched willy-nilly, you allow an object to be put into an invalid state.

The only variables and functions that should be public are those that cannot put an object into an invalid state.
This is like raping a guy and saying that if he didn't want it he wouldn't have gotten an erection.
I'm reminded of this quote from the movie Contact: "First rule in government spending: why build one when you can have two at twice the price?"

I disagree. I don't think ads are the same as individual people being able to express themselves, and having one conpany reject political ads isn't preventing the politicians from expressing themselves altogether. Hulu also has discretion to choose which ads to air. Undoubtedly there are a great number of submissions, I'm sure not all of them make the cut for various reasons. What criteria should they use? Highest paying ads? Extending ad time to ensure all ads submitted can air? What if someone submitted an ad supporting ISIS or other extremist speech?

Should a business be forced to air content they don't want to be associated with or perceived as endorsing? It has already been established companies are not obligated to do business they find violate their 1A rights, so this would seem to fit into that precedent.

Moreover politicians aren't being silenced, there are a vast number of different avenues they can (and do) use to spread their campaign information.

If it's campaign ads being more equitably presented, there are a number of ways to approach this that don't involve forcing a private business to accept any and all ad content.
Interesting. Mine is a 2004 wrx and getting full of holes, but mechanic keeps assuring me drive train is solid and perfectly safe to drive.
Thanks, I corrected it.
See if your state has a Social Media liaison position/role, or even specifically a FB/IG liaison. I had no clue this was a thing until a relative's business IG account was hacked. No amount of screaming/begging or filling out all the forms helped, the liaison had her account restored in under a day.
Then how did the YouTuber or course creator originally hear about the product? Unless a technology is already well known from other marketing channels, it's unlikely that unaffiliated people will just magically know about a new product.
They didn’t, but they got caught up in being unable to scale up as their production scaled up. So they were still buying toilet paper at the normal rate, but suddenly all the toilet paper disappeared

Edit: agree it is super weird the entire industry (or at least enough of a critical mass) made the same decision on their Covid forecasting… it’s almost unbelievable/conspiracy territory. But it is what happened.
I don't think anyone is advocating for only apartments and condos. If you have a family, can afford a car, and are willing to make compromises to be in a single-family home, that should absolutely be an option.

Adding multi-family homes just adds a new, cheaper option that increases density. There are lots of benefits to it, and its really reductive to say "The 'missing middle' is bad because I wouldn't want to live like that".
What solution? Meta's entire proposal is "stop making the adjustment and let dealing with the accumulated error be some future person's problem".

"Let's just kick the can down the road" isn't solving anything.
"the field can successfully identify and remove bad/fraudulent lines of inquiry in a relatively short amount of time"

It took 16 years and only happened due to a couple of neuroscientists spotting a short selling opportunity, which allowed them to fund an investigation. Phrased differently, the field itself did not find this fraud. Outsiders did, when motivated by non-academic systems.

"The process is working as intended, why burn it down?"

The mis-allocation of hundreds of millions of dollars on the basis of a Photoshop, with the only outcome being that everyone involves says "no comment", is not by any measure the process working as intended.
Many manufacturers are also plastic sheilding their cars from down under. Improves wind flow, noise isolation and prevents rust.
Nations aren't a real unit to anyone except for rubes. The reasons interests and nations roughly correlate is because the individuals who make a nation's laws and direct its spending are more likely to be financially entangled with the people who those laws affect and the people to which that spending is directed.

They will also be financially entangled with elites in former colonies, and the operators of extractive industries in weak countries that depend on outside investments, and with everyone in the financial industry globally. They're also financially entangled with family members and friends.

The only people anti-monopoly legislation helps are people who are less connected and less influential. The only place it will be supported (by the well-connected and influential) is in countries who are trying to protect domestic industries. Once the protectionism (or the nationalized industries) are destroyed, then monopoly becomes ok in time to get control over entire sectors of the economy and raise prices to maximize profit extraction.

Any concern about whether the US is dominating the world or not is only practical. It's useless to sic the US against a country that is being protectionist or refuses to denationalize if the US doesn't have the strength to properly make the people who reside in those countries miserable enough to support the opposition.
If you've got an insightful point to make then make it. Because your last comment smacks of pointless trolling.
I don't think we're there yet at all. This is a very "silicon valley mindset".

The truck segment only just got the Ford Lightning and are at the start of the adoption curve. The inflection point probably won't be for another 10 years.

And you're likely to be able to sell an ICE vehicle to someone who wants to maintain it because they have all the necessary mechanical tools for a long time. There's a lot of people out there who might not be actual mechanics but know how to debug an ICE vehicle, and even know a machine shop where they can buy a rebuilt engine.

Even after vehicle manufacturers actually stop building and selling ICE vehicles there's going to be an after-market for them. There's probably some cliff that happens where gas stations start to disappear, but you have to age-out the existing ICE fleet pretty significantly, beyond the ability of people to keep their vehicles running.
> This discussion of free speech makes one of the most common mistakes people make on this topic: It conflates not supporting speech with stifling speech.

The example in the article is not letting professors choose works such as those that refute the claim of structural racism. So its absolutely stifling academic freedom, which you seem to be conflating with free speech.
California applies limits to such restrictions, but does allow them when the side projects in question relate to the employer's actual or demonstrably anticipated business, among other exceptions. A tool specific to Google Kubernetes Engine, as we're discussing here, plainly relates to Google's business.

My memory of Google US employment legalese - note I have not worked for them for over 7 years and am not speaking for them here - is that they acknowledge limits to their IP assignment provisions which are consistent with California law. Any Googler who is confident that those limits protect their ownership by default of their side project does not have to seek Google's approval in order to own it, even according to the contract wording.

But Google's business is so broad that it's often legitimately debatable (and sometimes beyond the knowledge of the Googler doing the work) as to whether something would be in scope. So getting their approval, which can come either with explicit assignment of rights back to the Googler or explicit permission to release under Google copyright, is often the prudent approach to minimize undesired risks.
I guess, many people share our current point of view, and yes, it's not only the german society which is affected. From a german perspective looking at the US or UK makes me feel very sorry. The leading countries of the free world seem to be on a decline, and that makes me very sad. However, the situation I describe, is only what I personally perceive. It's in no way objective, so Germany might still be in a "good shape" seen from whatever angle. It's just that we're looking for a better place to live, but did neither consider the US nor the UK for above reasons. Dank und Grüße
I’m not sure what you consider country but this seems pretty accurate based on my recent experiences. There were a lot of $60+k vanity trucks in pristine condition - along with sensible vehicles and a handful of trucks which were actually being used as designed - and it was quite noticeable compared to the same areas a few years prior to the pandemic. I don’t know who needs an $86k (not a joke - I checked) pickup truck to make a fashion statement but I have a strong suspicion that they’re also the kind of people who complain loudly when gas goes up $0.50/gallon.
> In fact there is evidence to the contrary, as previous times of less military spending seem to correlate with more peaceful times.

What is the evidence? My impression has been militarily weak countries got invaded by stronger ones. Smaller countries were snapped up by bigger ones. I’m curious to see the evidence to the contrary.
I'm definitely not lying about this. See: https://twitter.com/Esqueer_/status/1550856205706338305 Also see sibling comment.

You can _also_ find people saying the lack of response is because of homophobia, and this is the thing that makes me want to flip a table: the WHO describing reality is morally culpable and causes homophobia per that tweet, the lack of effective response is homophobic, emphasizing the actual events that have had a causal role in the outbreak is homophobic. Homophobia/whatever flavor of the day is the a-priori conclusion, work backwards from there.

When you bring up the excesses of this cultural movement, you're told

1. it's not really happening

2. you're just nut picking, or

3. it's actually good.

and it's so often tied up with accusations of lying or dishonesty. Like, everyone is so mind poisoned at this point we can't just _disagree_, it's got to be an issue of mendacity or moral corruption.
There's a definite track record of people lying about it to avoid the shame only to later have Tesla come out and say it's not true.
First, all astronomy PR images are edited to look good to normal people. Sharpness is enhanced to bring out fine details and wavelengths are mapped to attractive colors to make an attractive composite. If you are a scientist working with data from Hubble or Webb you're working on the raw data and ignore the PR images entirely. The PR images are derived from the scientific data but they are not themselves scientific.

Both Hubble and Webb also take observations with fairly narrow filters. In a PR image these essentially grayscale images are mapped to a color channel, red, green, or blue. The wavelength mapped to the "red" channel might be a mix of 650nm and 600nm filters. This blend will not look like what your eye would see but makes for a pretty desktop wallpaper.

Webb in particular only sees in the IR bands which your eye can't see. Making a PR images from Webb images arbitrarily maps IR wavelengths to RGB channels.

That's not to say a researcher won't filter and process the raw data. But their goal is to extract useful scientific information and not just produce an attractive image. They'll spend more time looking at graphs from the raw data than the actual 2D array of pixels.

For instance, if you know the composition for an object you know what it's spectra should look like. If you compare that spectra to what's received you can calculate the red shift of every pixel. Doing this for the whole image can then let you tell the red shift of an entire object giving an idea of its proper motion relative to us. For say a nebula this can show how it's moving and give an understanding of its 3D structure even though the images are all 2D.

I don't mean to disparage the PR images. They can often be used to explain phenomena to non-experts (not that I'm an expert). But they're never really going to show what the human eye might see, most stellar objects would look like mostly diffuse white blobs even "up close". Most things emit a number of wavelengths which just mix and look white to us. It's only with narrow band filters that telescopes can actually pick out fine details of most objects.
Uh, why exactly am I being downvoted for this? ^

IgG tests are objectively bad science, used to scam people into thinking they have allergies when they don’t. IgG will basically just give you a list of what foods you’ve eaten lately. They are completely and utterly useless.

IgE tests are what matter. I have dozens of food allergies and unfortunately have had to learn more about allergies and the immune system than I ever imagined. I know what I’m talking about here.
In addition to other comments, it's also difficult to weld. Stainless steel retains heat, so prolong welding can warp it. Also unless careful, welding can destroy the Chromium coating, so the area are the weld will rust quicker than the bulk material.

When choosing a metal material, it's important to consider not just its innate properties, but it properties during join. Welding can melt the metal surrounding the weld, which can undo many heat treatment or mechanical processes previously used to get the material to the desired specs.
The article you linked seems to be arguing pretty strongly against leap hours. I'm not sure we could solve all those problems even in 3000 years. Can we compromise and use leap minutes? That way the problem is a bit more immediate, in 50 years we're sure to have solved it; or we'll all be dead and it will be on someone else!
> Ouch, that's a pretty careless reason to start with

I think it's fine. This is probably the reason that I used to have for using private until I started thinking about it.

> there should never be a reason for consumers to handle that stuff directly

Are we assuming here that the organization is structured so that only one team works on a class, so that that's the team that knows how the bookkeeping is done and no other team should touch it?
Chernobyl wasn't hiding the negative effects of making money.

edit: I think Communism, or at least Soviet communism, is as bad or worse for the environment as capitalism. The difference is that the benefits of Soviet environmental disasters flowed to the nation in general. The benefits under capitalism generally go to fewer people than I could fit in my bathroom.
probably because the car is moving forward?
> Bigger vehicles pollute more (engine, brake/tire particulates, and both engine and tire noise)

That’s a strange way of saying large vehicles are intended to do more work. I haven’t seen a Toyota Prius yet that can practically trailer a load of crops to market or carry construction equipment.

It’s also strange to me someone would mention tire particulate pollution in a grand comparison. The EV poster children wear through tires quicker than their comparable gasoline counterparts—softer tire compounds (road noise reduction) and weight.

> more likely and more lethal when they happen

Those also pay more for insurance.
Q4 ish. It’s returning to normal now in the factories, but there is a back log of orders and logistics that will delay this to consumers for another 6 months minimum
Growing perpetually in a greenhouse setting is probably vastly more efficient than out in the desert where you are subject to constant losses to evaporation
A little concerning given how much software there is inside their CPUs (not just microcode but the management processor et al).

Because you don't need to, plus you're covered against 0days. If you're creating infra on GCP then I'm sure it's not too much of an effort to use Google's osn Cloud VPN or create a bastion interface to ssh/wireguard into (only needs to be very small).
This is definitely my second favourite truffle documentary after 2021's Pig.
I've more than once seen a new database company grow from nothing to a serious business by being 2-5x for one narrow set of users and 0.1x-0.5x for the rest, but being sold as 2-10x for everyone. Most of their market doesn't end up coming from the people for whom they're actually a decent choice, because capturing even a small amount of the larger market is more valuable than 100% of that tiny market segment. Trying to deprogram people who've fallen for the marketing can be really frustrating, if you're trying not to be saddled with subpar crap that's going to make your life harder.

Mongo and Neo4j come to mind as examples of this.

All I did was make the argument that they didn't make an astronomer's life easier, at no point did I say it was more trouble that it's worth.
What about reading black nationalists? I think there's plenty of value in reading the Black Panthers' and Nation of Islam's writings despite their often-abhorrent views. Same with the "Weather Underground" manifestos, the speeches of Osama Bin Ladin, the writings of Mao, etc.

Keep in mind too that many on the right would view a lot of what the left says on various contemporary issues to be "false" and "misleading." Should a professor be allowed to say that all white students are inherently racist? That communism is the best system of government? And is there a difference between exposing students to these ideas vs. requiring students to parrot them back on assignments?

The AAUP drew a pretty good line in terms of setting the limits on "free speech" that I think would address the kind of hypotheticals mentioned: "Teachers are entitled to freedom in the classroom in discussing their subject, but they should be careful not to introduce into their teaching controversial matter which has no relation to their subject...The intent of this statement is not to discourage what is “controversial.” Controversy is at the heart of the free academic inquiry which the entire statement is designed to foster. The passage serves to underscore the need for teachers to avoid persistently intruding material which has no relation to their subject."
No mention that Go actually fixed the stdlib so that the code shown won’t have this issue again.

USSR was so pivotal in defeating Germany - forgetting that the Second World War broke up because Soviets signed Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, essentially giving Germans free reign.
The problem there is that it's a fake product, not a moderate amount of repetition.
Database drivers for mabny programming languages have something like Java's PreparedStatement which allows you to compile the SQL query together with code, before the application is ran. Whatever input is provided later by the user cannot result in SQL injection, because it is not parsed/compiled at all. So yes, SQL injection is a solved problem, it's up to you whether you know about/use the solution.
You can't feel derisive, he said derisively.
What am I insulated from? Academic freedom? Vacuum? Social derision? Mayhap I am indeed dumb, but I don't follow your line of reasoning. What your original comment distills to is that you were socially shunned for holding certain opinions --
and yes, this has nothing to do with academic freedom. You were not censored or cancelled -- that's what's important. And you can't just force others to accept your views. Trying to is fascist.
If it's really 5 minutes a day and if you're really satisfied with every monkey nodding once, then sure, this ritual can be accomplished with a moderately-sized team. But please provide data that shows that this has ever been achieved organization-wide anywhere with more than 10 employees. Seriously. I need to know.

Otherwise stop polling devs once a day when they already said the earliest you'll get anything is 2-3 days. They literally will quit over this in the long run and it's the simplest thing you can do to stop losing devs over communication issues between your team members.

They cost enough per head and you want to literally start their day with a reminder that they've unwittingly joined a cult to pay the rent?
How is “plastic was the mistake” any more reasonable than “electricity was the mistake”
