So nothing has changed for the most part except how to get a woman who's rejected you. At least for any first world country showing that you're a stable and good provider doesn't work because of the safety net society has created.

Human nature persists across hundreds of years with little change.
I think it's about risk aversion and social proof. The CEO can usually persuade the board that they're important, and the board can easily pay them a lot, so why not do so, rather than risk them leaving? Once enough boards do that, it becomes the "going rate for CEOs" i.e. social proof / herding takes over.

Also, the aforementioned difficulty of measuring CEO performance perversely becomes an asset. When people don't know the quality of what they're buying, but they feel that quality is very important, they'll turn to any proxy (Harvard on resume, butt was in chair while previous company was doing well) and pay top dollar for that. You can't pay for quality, but it's extremely easy to pay for scarcity if you really want to.

It just comes back to... if you have a lot of money to spend, and the purchase might matter, you'll often be willing to spend a lot for the "best", even if there's no evidence or reason to believe the "best" is really of great value. I've seen this in my own behavior and that of my spouse (what if the most expensive preschool actually is the best one?)
You could give the dragonflies little Disney Princess heads. That would be cute.
How do folks actually watch Formula E races, without a cable subscription? The Formula E Youtube channel only ever posts "highlights" through the season, and then waits to the end of the season to post full races to their channel.

I'm a happy F1TV subscriber, and really enjoyed watching some FE races here and there in the past, but it feels like they're going out of their way to make it difficult or pointless to actively watch full races during the season. Is there an "FETV" type of deal similar to F1TV, or do I just have to give up hope of seeing them before the end of the season?

I regularly have 300-500 tabs open on multiple browsers at the same time. This freaks out many people when I share my screen. Works wonders for me, no tree style or additional plugins other than to change user agents or tamper with js (tampermonkey). AMA lol.

Tabs are like part of workloads I am actively working on. They are not a set of stores items to organize or clean up. I very rarely bookmark or use bookmarks. I research and investigate many things, the results of any one of them could be useful to the rest yet storing them as bookmarks makes little sense since they are all temporary. Whatever output I am working on is stored elsewhere. I just don't struggle that much to find tabs because I have good short term (days/weeks) memory and auto-complete with "switch tabs" instead of opening them helps a lot too.
I can confirm this as well, discovered in a similar way. For me I notice objects start to fade into grey in the periphery. Another cool thing is that blinking seems to reset it for just a second or so and then things fade back to grey instantly.
Your idea of Europe is wrong. Where do you get this information from?
Europe likes a lot more free markets and is a lot more conservative then that Americans try to paint it while having their own politicial wars.
The barriers to development is not how much wealth the society has currently, but the the absence of the underlying social and economic infrastructure that makes growth possible. Germany was ability to rebound from two wars that destroyed its economy while numerous other countries languish.

This sounds a lot Jaybridge, acquired by Toyota Research. They had things like grain trailers driving next to harvesters until full, then driving to the edge of the field for pickup... also Giant Dump Trucks, operating within open mines. (These were just marketable examples, I believe the internals were quite general, in the context of "adding autonomy to existing heavily specialized vehicles" without rebuilding them...)

> We need Congress to pass an act cleaning up the FTC's enforcement powers.

Which is the constitutional design:

Article 1. Section 1. All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

In West Virginia v. EPA SCOTUS delivered a brush-back pitch, constraining the above to "major questions". Where that line is drawn very much sets the limits of the administrative state. Taken with restraint versus expansively it can make the difference between a small government constrained in the detail of its rulemaking by the size of the legislature, and an authoritarian government with a consitutionally unlimited inventory of unelected rule makers.
Our Redis use-case started off as ephemeral per-deployment storage for things like rate-limit counters; before evolving into durable per-deployment storage for things like service-metadata discovery.

Ephemeral Redis is well-suited to k8s — you can treat it as just a sidecar to your app layer deployment. Durable Redis is not. But sometimes the transition can sneak up on you.
I mean, it's some progress, I guess.

This legal doctrine forces private parties to presume others guilty until proven innocent, because it holds them liable if the service that they provide to them facilitates any crimes they commit.

Presumption of innocence on the other hand would make only the party commissioning the crime liable and that means massively less overhead when economically interacting with others.

With respect to below, I'll respond by editing the current comment as I'm currently at my comment limit:

Presumption of innocence means presuming others innocent unless they are proven, in a court of law, of being guilty. Suggesting that Visa knew Mindgeek was guilty is putting the onus on private actors to ascribe guilt for crimes, and holding them liable if they fail to do so, which leads to their adoption of the presumption of guilt until proven innocent principle underlying so much regulatory restrictions and private sector KYC processes in finance nowadays.

> Lenovo also sells a bunch of cheapish plasticky laptops that look like some random noname chinese OEM manufactured and lenovo just put a sticker on... well, linux support there is a bit hit and miss.

They look like that because they basically are.

There's really two companies called Lenovo. One of them makes the ThinkPad T, X, P and one of the budget lines (L or E, always forget which, we don't use either). And the ThinkStations.

The other makes the IdeaPads and the other ThinkPad budget line which lacks the great keyboard and Linux compatibility, it just looks a bit like a ThinkPad. And the Legion gaming stuff etc.

They're really two different companies with different factories. We have a global contract with Lenovo and we can't even order the consumer laptops. We wanted to get some Legions because some of our dev teams prefer the Legion with RTX over the ThinkPad P which come with Quadros. But they simply can't sell them to us. I think RTX came to the ThinkPad P since anyway, not sure because I'm not involved anymore.

It seems one company because as a consumer you can buy all of them from Lenovo.com but that's not even really Lenovo, it's a third party reseller called DigitalRiver.

It's definitely a bit of a reach. Apple has always given users explicit permission to run their own OS, as far as I understand it. Bootcamp has existed for years, and before that there was nothing stopping you from putting Linux on a Macbook (besides the loathesome touch bar).

The closest Apple has come to acknowledging third-party OSes on Apple Silicon was their statement that Microsoft is welcome to try porting Windows to it, if they want. I think Asahi sideliners (and Apple fans at large) are quick to attribute mysterious coincidences as benevolence, but I reckon they're making the same mistake that happened when they trusted Microsoft as bedfellows with the open source community. Apple is not your friend, they just make more money if it seems that way.

How did we get from enforcement powers (GP) to legislative powers (you)? They're not the same thing. It might have seemed like a good excuse to fulminate - see guidelines about that BTW- about the "administrative state" but it's really kind of a big non sequitur.
A definitive solution for React Native modals
Do you find using modals in React Native to be a bit of a pain? Trying to keep control of its open state and repeating the code everywhere you want to use it can be pretty tedious.

And the problem only gets worse when you try to create complex flows, where one modal opens another with conditionals in place. Once you get past two modals, your main component is a mess, and the state is all over the place.

This library thoughtfully encapsulates complex concepts to provide a smooth experience when using React modals, inside or outside components (In Sagas, for example!)
Note sure what the fix to this “inefficiency” would be. Spend more time making obvious decisions? Use snap judgements on all nonobvious decisions?

It's not super clear but it seems like that's essentially part of what they're being charged for and was behind the first C&D?

I do think there's a lot more underway and coming.
But why would that be a concern? Why isn't Apple's involvement welcomed for the expertise, rather than maligned for some arbitrary notion of "cleanliness" in the process?
In the U.S. you have to watch it live on CBS/CBS Sports which means some sort of cable subscription. Paramount+ doesn't even give you access. Also there is no on demand replay, so you either catch it live or not at all. Outside of the U.S. you can watch it on YouTube but it's blocked state side.

That seems unsurprising. It reminds me of that bit from one of Ben Horowitz's old articles [1]:

> Things go wrong, because building a multi-faceted human organization to compete and win in a dynamic, highly competitive market turns out to be really hard. If CEOs were graded on a curve, the mean on the test would be 22 out of a 100. This kind of mean can be psychologically challenging for a straight A student. It is particularly challenging, because nobody tells you that the mean is 22.

What are your sources for the cow info? I'm getting more like 30 kcal/gallon.

A cow drinks 9-12 gallons per day [1] (assuming not lactating, which takes a lot more water; let's just say these are cows being raised purely for slaughter). Call it 10 gallons/day on average.

Cows raised for slaughter live 4-6 years [2]. Call it 5 years on average.

10 gallons/day * 355 days/year * 5 years/cow ≈ 17750 gallons/cow.

Finally, the amount of energy in a cow as sold in retail stores is about 500,000 kcal [3]. That works out to about 30 kcal/gallon.

Previous discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31649237

I think my comment there still applies. There's a simple way to buy insulin for 10x cheaper: Drive over the border. Any border will do. The extremely high prices are unique to the United States. Other countries have the same insulin brands, from the same companies, at literally 10x lower prices.

That should make the solution clear: Undo the laws that prevent retailers from driving over the border themselves. If US drug stores could import insulin from Europe, Canada, and Mexico, then it would be impossible to maintain such a large price difference, and the US price would come down.

I feel like many people in this comment section don’t understand the difference between CAD data and GIS data. It’s true that 3d models can be built and put into game engines and has been for some time, but GIS data is specifically geospatial data. It’s not a model of a building and never was. The models of buildings in this article are NOT gis data. The ground is the GIS data.

When we build models of buildings for engineering planning purposes we get a surveying crew to physically measure the relative positions and elevations of many points on a map so that the ground in the ‘model’ is representative of the ground in reality, from which you can plan cut and fill, figure out challenges, etc.

The shitty models of buildings so that execs can ‘see’ the space are not GIS data, and were never meant to be. They’re just visualization. The execs won’t know if something is shifted over by a bit, but the engineer needs to know, and it has to be more or less perfect.

My first 2 years of college, all my programs were on punch cards.

If your program compiled, ran, and produced the correct output the very first time, you’d hear angels singing.

It was a major bummer if the keypunch machine was misaligned and the card reader rejected your deck.
Texturing is trivial if you don’t care if it looks good. Texturing and lighting are an enormous amount of work if you’re using the model to sell or impress people.
That's a bit much. I know more than a few Singaporeans who left for Australia for university and never went back. Some started families here and didn't consider taking their kids back for schooling.

I wouldn't say freedom was high on any of their lists explicitly, but they talk about things like the casual culture and work life balance that are all related to it. The arts also aren't high on their list, but a few of them had some things to say when Singapore Idol was being advertised back in the day. They didn't think they'd find a single decent singer due to their country's lack of investment or respect for the arts which was ingrained in them from their schooling. It was a running joke for a while.
You are right, extremes are bad and balance is good. But if you have a startup and nobody in the 10 person company has managed people let along other managers for more than 5 years, yeah, hire from outside and create more management roles internally so your people can get promoted and gain experience. There is no substitution for experience, especially political experience for a political role.
