Second, of the fourteen sentences here, a full six are trivially true

None of those things are trivially true to people who regularly post contrarian and/or conspiracy theory takes about the fed on this very web site. It makes sense for the fed to restate these "trivial" matters rather than ceding the discussion to "alternative" facts spread by contrarians.
Can we not frame this as a battle or even a war? The US lost this capability a long time ago due to labor costs and natural resource consumption.

From the labor cost and natural resource consumption a operation of this size can easily fail. We need more partners in this not just a handout.

This action should have little to no input on any globalized leverage system.

For this to be successful we need more partners

ESG is a political compliance score. Fall out of favor with certain groups and your score will plummet, publicly tout an agenda around diversity and sustainability and your score will rise. The fact that Exxon (edit: oops I mean shell) has a higher ESG score than Tesla should be all you need to know.

Most Americans are using gasoline produced from crude drilled by Americans, Canadians, workers in Saudi Arabia, and Mexicans, that has been refined by Americans, in America, and supporting jobs in those countries. Russia accounted for only 3% of total crude imports before the war. Yes, the environmental impact is negative, but lets not pretend the relatively high wages in oil and gas jobs doesn't help American workers.

Just use a $12-$15 HDMI->USB capture card off eBay/Amazon. They work incredibly well and you don't have to deal with buggy software. I've been using my GH3 as a webcam since the beginning of the pandemic.

Just checked my toy project sites that are on Dreamhost shared hosting, and they're up too.

That said, it's not as if I'm particularly happy with Dreamhost. I regularly have problems with (static HTML!) pages just timing out, both from my own browsing experience and from what I see in ahrefs' free monthly website monitoring reports. If these sites were generating revenue I would have moved them off Dreamhost long ago.
Same with Google, where Marissa Mayer would allegedly run A/B tests to find the best shade of blue

Pro-tip: that's not how you build a system. The best shade of blue is the least of your concerns

Our startup takes a new data approach to transparency and granularity of ESG data to sidestep a lot of the criticisms of greenwashing, and help people understand. I don't think oversimplifying to one metric is an answer for all the people who care about other things (e.g. data privacy, corporate corruption, so many other issues).

We have a little description of our approach at https://www.yourstake.org/info/noscore-esg and we're hiring engineers! If you don't see something that fits you can still send your resume/portfolio to hiring@yourstake.org
This is it, thank you for digging it up!

I can't directly answer your question because I don't know, but I will note that the SQLite Copyright page states

I think the number of people who have worked directly on the code for the canonical SQLite distribution is quite small.
Ask HN: What software is China using to physically develop all these products?
I am looking out my window, I see a gazebo that took me a while to construct.

It has a number of fabric panels, attached to metal octo-arranged posts... a chuted chimney abatement...

How are chinese people designing such products?

Are they stolen STLs designs? What?

Also, and the core of this question: How do you develop skills to design such weird attrapments.

You certainly did NOT go to school to design such...

So. How are these built/designed?

There's also `homesick`[1], which is a Ruby dotfile manager. If you don't feel like managing a Ruby distro and want something more portable (and `homesick` looks to be a stale project anyway), you can use `homeshick`[2] which is a Bash port that's still being maintained. (I use `homeshick`)

The last time I dug into this, `homeshick` was had more features and fit my needs better than `stow`.

Alternatively, check out YADM[3], "Yet Another Dotfile Manager", which I'm probably switching to once I get some time.

> Why does Wikipedia even have “notable” requirements anyways?

Think of it like code in an active open-source project. Someone needs to maintain the article: update it when house style changes, evaluate any new contributions to it as being valid or not, etc. Like code experiencing code-rot, a Wikipedia article rots if editors don't give it active attention.

This has exactly the implications you'd expect: it means that articles about things that don't change, are easier to keep around than are articles about things that might change; which are in turn easier to keep around than are articles about things that definitely will change.

Living people — where the article is basically living biography for them — are in that last category.

The "notability" requirement can be translated into editor-ese as a combination of 1. "how many people could we find who could contribute to this page", and 2. "how much demand is there for Wikipedia — rather than some other website — to do the work of keeping this."

Re: the first point about contribution, this is why Wikipedia doesn't let people be their own primary source — it's because, when that primary-source person eventually stops maintaining the page, who will then be able to take over the maintenance? If that's "nobody", then to prevent that, the page shouldn't be allowed in the first place.

Re: the second point about demand — the Pokemon Pikachu has its own Wikipedia page, because people expect Wikipedia specifically to have an article about Pikachu. Other Pokemon do not — because there's already Bulbapedia around to satisfy the demand for an encyclopedia with articles about Pokemon, and the pages from it are easily found in any search engine. If a different set of editors are willing to take on the maintenance burden for those articles in their own domain — and are doing a decent job of it — then why should Wikipedia's editors duplicate that effort?
Oh, joy more money to monopolistic companies.

This is completely the wrong way to go about it (tax individuals and give the money to big corps). If you want a protectionist measure then implement a protectionist measure, like I don't know, tariffs.

Yet another bill that follows at least the last 40 years of congress doing exactly the wrong thing. (and to be clear this isn't a rant against the Democrats).
Banning Proof of Work cryptocurrencies from being traded on licensed exchanges would achieve the same improvement of chip availability, as well as saving a huge amount of electricity, for $0.

Often times the people in any individual nation don't want to hear it, but nations are in competition with each other to attract business.

This undermines any other function of what people think a government is there for and the system that government operates under. If people were told anything else, they were told a lie.

There are different people operating under more effective set of rules, and they can pit countries against each other to sweeten the deal of operating within that country.

Its just simply a more effective set of rules than whatever people were taught in their civics class, or by an animated sheet of paper singing about how bills are formed.

GGP talked about autopilot acceptance

GP is talking about holding Tesla responsible the same way we do with drivers ala insurance and regulation

Parent says to only hold driver responsible

So while the parent did not mention autopilot per se, the comment can only be interpreted in the context of talking about autopilot/ like systems. Otherwise, "Always prosecute the driver." does not make sense. That is the only option when you are talking about standard accident investigations(baring manufacturer defects e.g. faulty ignition switch, rollover/tires, sticky/abnormal acceleration pedals), nothing else in a standard car has ahem autonomy.
> On HN, we go by article quality, not site quality
I've seen news of churches (Catholic, as most Churches are in France) been set on fire maybe 2 or 3 times in the news here in France, that was a while ago... Not seen any news like that recently.
Are there any sources about the true numbers of these arson fires ?

I had the same conversation with someone living in the US at the time of the Notre-Dame fire, I couldn't come with more than 2 or 3 occurrences reported in the French press naming specifics cases with places names and all, while he, in the US would provide me with dozen of press reports of "Churches are burnings by numbers in France !" type of titles ... Many from a very specific side of the political spectrum.
The goal isn't to be cheaper, it's to have a reliable domestic supply chain.
Regardless of all the accusations of incompetent, unfair, or inconsistent enforcement of their own policies (which are serious and deserve inspection and criticsm), I don't think Wikipedia's stated policies around notability are unreasonable. The policy that most directly addresses your comments is "Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_no.... They explicitly reject arguments of the form "we should be able to have any page we want as long as storage costs aren't a problem."
Is there any chance that some of this limiting has legitimate hardware reasons?

It's been over a decade since I really followed the digital camera scene.

At the time, DSLRs were just beginning to get 1080p/720p video capabilities. There were frustrating time limits of course, even then. But, I recall that some of the cameras heated up pretty significantly when capturing video. This was sometimes cited as a reason for such time limitations on video recording.

I'm not sure if that is possibly a "legitimate" physical reason for the limitation today, or if it ever was in the first place. Any thoughts on that?
Commented this elsewhere:

Theres a difference between creating beautiful creative code and creating an innovative product that people want to use. Its a different type of intelligence, and why you dont see Math professors starting ecommerce/product/clothing businesses. The classic dichotomy between steve jobs and wozniak.

I have worked at a few big tech companies, I have regularly seen engineers drive huge innovation in how something is done. Product people cant always do that, they dont have enough understanding of large scale systems.
> Building equity instead of paying rent is a good thing

That depends heavily on your goals. I hear this a lot, but it always reads to me like people think equity just magically happens when you buy a home (with a mortgage). No, you have to put money into it monthly, and a portion of that goes to pay of principal, which builds equity.

Whether or not putting that money into a large, fixed, illiquid asset (versus stocks/bonds) is a good idea... well, it depends. Personally, if I could get an interest-only mortgage with a reasonable interest rate (for my primary home), I would probably go for it. I personally don't care all that much about building equity, and I'd rather free up that cash for other investments.

Of course, many people would use the option of an interest-only mortgage in order to buy even more house than they can afford, instead of for the purposes of freeing up cash, and then end up in dire financial straits, as we saw in the 00s.

Also, re: paying rent vs. building equity: yes, I do have a larger space than when I was renting, but I am also paying more than my last rent, in property tax + mortgage interest + HOA dues. That's money that's just as equivalently "thrown away" as if I was just renting. I don't regret this decision, but let's not pretend that renting is throwing away money, and owning is perfect use of money.
>This is not the most cost effective way to do it.

Agreed. The alternatives should have been presented. Maybe include this in partnership with canada, mexico and others. Where the wonks at?
Well my take is that first off, being irritated or something is not unusual or necessarily bad.

Everyone gets bored or tired with their job. That happens routinely, since jobs are repetitive and tedious sometimes.

Everyone has frustrating situations. And I think you are mistaken if you think that being optimistic comes _before_ resolving those frustrations. There might be a massive amount of BS trying to convince people they can just take a few deep breaths or something, but that's nonsense. The feelings are there to help you manage your life.

Those emotions are a high level cognitive feature, not a bug. They are there to tell you that you have unresolved issues.

If you literally have a lot of problems you are responsible for, then that is not emotional dysfunction, it's just that you have a lot of unresolved things irritating you.

One thing that I think I need to do is get more sunlight. I often don't go outside hardly at all and humans need a minimum amount of sunlight.

Another thing I would say is if you have a way to offload some of your problems by delegating that might help.

Also obviously make sure you have something fun to do exercise wise for stress. I like table tennis in VR.

One other thing that helps me is to try to find ways to stay engaged. Being stuck on the same project can be tedious. When there is something shiny and new to focus on it can help renew motivation. So maybe let yourself have just a little time to get distracted by future plans or things you don't necessarily really have time for. As long as you can moderate that, it may help you pull through when dealing with the more tedious or negative problems that come up repeatedly.
The key point here is that TikTok is now beating all the US social networks.

This may be the beginning of the end for what Silicon Valley calls "tech", but is just ads with social content. Peak Facebook was in Q2 2021.[1] Instagram is losing to TikTok.

(If you think the "metaverse" is going to be important in the social space, check out what's happening in China in that area. While the US has been distracted by the NFT clown car and Facebook's rather pathetic efforts, companies in China are actually building it.)

Four things work for me. Understanding how to influence emotions, anchors, sleep, and exercise.

One of the things that helped me address this when I was burnt out ~10 years ago was a book called Emotional Equations; it's not perfect, but the frame of reference in a math like state helped me identify what to DO when I felt a certain way.

The other thing I do is set an "anchor" when I have a "peak" experience. Winning something. An awesome run, whatever. I read a book about an elite ultra runner and he'd blink hard three times when he had a peak experience. I make a first a certain way that's not as obvious, but anything can help. If you've seen Seinfeld, it's basically Serenity Now, but effective for me.

Some of the top performance atheletes say that sleep is their secret weapon. I use a light clock to wake up instead of a noise alarm clock, and seem to wake in a gentler state.

Finally, good sleep is predicated on actually being able to sleep. Exercise helps here. It also allows me to mull complex things without the ability to immediately take action, which seems to be useful.

I hope this helps!
"print money" is a colloquialism for increasing the money supply, which the Fed does do. Before you argue that all banks increase the money supply: there is a limit to the maximum possible amount of money as long as the reserve ratio isn't 0. That maximum limit was raised by the Fed with bond buying.

When people complain about printing money, this is what they are complaining about. It absolutely causes asset inflation (very easy to observe with some DCF modeling or checking P/E ratios). I would also argue it is a strong contributor to increasingly binary wealth stratification. It's a legitimate complaint and pedantically pointing out that the Treasury literally prints money is either ill-informed or arguing in bad faith.
I think you missed the context in which the conversation was taking place. The OP was asking how a mind can be defined by atoms and still be transcendent or eternal in any way. I just offered my view.

It doesn't need to matter to you, it only needs to matter to them.

It's probably coincidental but thanks anyway

This is also related to a new axiom I've developed, first stated in a similar discussion on instagram here (https://old.reddit.com/r/Instagram/comments/w8hy0e/instagram...)

> "The quality of a commercial software product is inversely proportional to the difficulty of the problem it solves, how long it's been around for and how successful it's been"

Essentially as a solution reaches stability and success, there's margins of profit that keep a staff of engineers and managers employed to work on the system. As a result they mutate the system - drifting it away from being a good solution to real problems to an unfocused solution to theoretical problems. It's a core organizational feature how we don't treat software as infrastructure where putting something in maintenance mode is the majority of the lifecycle of a successful product (for instance, whatever building you're in right now).

So as the generations of engineers cycle in and out you get this discordance between the two: earnest new people getting paid very well to change a product that usually has no pressing need for change. They do it anyway and thus successful simple commercial software products decline in relevance and quality over time as an inadvertent result of mismanaged good intentions. Furthermore when a change is warranted, nobody in this model has the agency, authority, political capital, or willpower to do the proper reframing (think Apple Newton -> iPod -> iPhone) without excessive compromises.

The solution? Go to part 1 above.

Iirc the story was fb messenger was written in Erlang, then they rewrote in c++ because of no trust in erlang (I think that was around when fb messenger started sucking with everyone complaining about bugs -- it was better last I used it 4 yrs ago) then ironically they re-acquired Erlang via WhatsApp.

I wonder if they will make that mistake twice

I started college and on the second day, I totaled my car because someone ran a stop sign in front of me.

I had just secured a room to rent because the local college apartments wouldn't approve my dad's credit. I had to get a job immediately, so I really couldn't stay.

I went home, and never did go back.
This plays into my interest: How did you learn to do the thing that you know how to do
Waiting for it to happen isn’t necessary for it to be priced in. In many cases companies probably anticipate these costs like any other. If you do something that risks a fine it’s because you think the reward is worth it. In cases where there is a fine, the goal is the same as any other expense: to pass costs onto either consumers or employees in order to protect shareholders. In cases where a penalty is surprising and/or severe, they might not be able to fully pass on costs to those people, profitability suffers, and the shareholders pay via investment losses or at least reduced gains. Corporate leadership could get forced out if they piss off shareholders too much, otherwise the only cost for them to pay is reduced pay from equity based compensation or performance bonuses…and only if the fines are in excess of the gains made by breaking the law in the first place.

If it spreads asymptomatically though isn't that "good" at spreading rather than "medium"?

SARS-1 disn't have a presymptomatic infectious phase and the peak of symptoms was roughly the peak of infectiousness, and it was mostly severely virulent, and it didn't produce a global pandemic and was controllable.

To have an uncontrollable pandemic you really need that silent spreading, so the pandemic virus that emerges necessarily has that property from the "start".
