Maybe we need to "de-antropomorphize" these terms and rules. It's a long due process, I believe.
I wouldn't be surprised if understanding and owning cryptocurrencies were negatively correlated.
Well, minor is a relative term, but regardless, my point is stronger the more the business case relies on this re-use.

Solar can win on price with entirely new builds against already depreciated Coal plants. If you can't beat that price, then you are at best a complement to solar, and sticking solar, battery or synchronous condensors in the old coal plants might make more sense instead.

Man MIT press and marketing is good.
There's a whole cottage industry of audience-captured contrarians who rely on "contrarian trust" to sell you the opposite of whatever the Establishment is selling.

It's not any more thoughtful, it's just the opposite.
> I think the most reasonable approach is definitely the one mentioned by this activist: “The most privileged people should be the ones who start sacrificing first,” Huber told Motherboard. “It’s unfair to ask the poorest people to give up polluting activities first if the richest don’t have to give up anything.”

No, the most reasonable solution is for everyone to be responsible for their own pollution. If you generate 15 tons of co2, you need to either eliminate those emissions or find some way of offsetting them. Who cares if you're a global jet setter generating hundreds of tons of co2, if you're properly sequestering them? "Banning private jets" is how we go from something reasonable (ie. "you shouldn't be able to damage a shared resource") to moralizing (ie. "you should be prevented from doing something, even though it's not harming others").

We get intelligence feeds from various companies. I can't name them as we are under NDA but it's an aggregation of news, real data, analytics to build credible views of things that are going on and where they are likely to go. We have an internal analytics team who apply this to organisational risk and syndicate it out to whoever needs it. They are surprisingly accurate.
I agree, about one year ago while backpacking for couple years I landed in a rural village in rural Australia, met a girl there and stayed for 18 months. I myself am from the Netherlands, and really noticed how life there revolves around things that I think are so much more important. Like bigger families, nature, lots of space and better work life balance. In the end I couldn't live with the thought of me creating a new family there and leaving my parents, sisters and niece's behind even though I would love my future siblings to life this simpeler rural life.

On top of this, the girl I broke up with visited for the last 3 days and just drove her to the airport, she dug up all these emotions again and second guessing my decision again..

Your post really resonated
But if we convert a lot of solar energy into electricity instead of letting it turn into heat that could usher a new ice age.

That's about as reasonable as your point about tapping enough heat from Earth's core to disturb the magnetic field.
> What's the best way to meet someone who has a problem that needs to be solved?

What problems do you have? Solve those first (even if it doesn't lead to success, that prevents you from spinning your tires).

> Alternately how do you meet someone with a complimentary skill set that has similar goals?

Assume that you won't, start down the path of solving your chosen problem and if someone appears who's thinking aligns, pursue a partnership if it makes sense.

Read "Do the Work" and "The War of Art" by Steven Pressfield. Those two (short) books have done wonders.
It had well over a super majority in both houses, that is substantial bipartisan support.

I'll add that super majority doesn't mean much in terms of "bi partisan support", when a single party (the republicans) nearly had a super majority of the house alone. Even in the senate, the Republicans pretty much all voted the same way while the Democrats split. It's almost as if there was some sub group of politicians for whom this issue was not popular and split from the mainstream, off to one side (plus the regular Americans who did not support the war).

If the definition of “left” isn’t “mainstream left wing politics”

"Left" or "left wing" is by definition not "mainstream".

and is instead “a small collection of politicians chosen by dfxm12”, then the word may as well not have a meaning.

Association Between Accelerometer-Derived Physical Activity and Brain Structure
Its always weird when people jump from "I don't understand something" to "no one understands something, they must have made it up" without any effort to verify that its not just you. Like is it arrogance?

You can clearly find the term almost immediately defined here for example https://bfy.tw/TOgI

Like any basic search will do so.
And I think it is pretty reasonable to start limiting things from things that even those people don't really need. Private planes, super yachts, super and hyper cars. Mansions.

The stuff 99% of world population successfully live without. After this we can ask regular people to maybe trade for more efficient cars, houses and so on. Maybe consider impacts of holidays.
This one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19584921 And it wasn't even my post!

A long time ago I found myself teaching Computer Graphics at my alma mater. Over the following years my approach to the subject evolved, and I really got the hang of it. After I stopped teaching, I took my notes, handouts and slides, and made them into a series of articles that I put on my website, where they remained in relative obscurity. Hacker News managed to find it every once in a while, and it was generally well received, but nothing came out of this. Until April 2019, when that post made the HN front page again, except this time it caught the attention of an editor in No Starch Press.

Long story short, my materials are now a book, Computer Graphics from Scratch, sold by No Starch Press [0], and also available for free on my website [1].

This genuinely wouldn’t have happened without your support. THANK YOU, HN community :)

>Plus, I've found the people who were hyper focused on retiring early or achieving financial independence to be less happy and more self-critical about their financial decisions.

I also wanted to comment on this.

What I have observed about FIRE folks is that they start optimizing everything for FIRE.

This isn't a healthy way to live, certainly not in the long run, and it's not like this goes away once they reach FIRE.

Here's an article where Mrs. Money Mustache shared how uncomfortable she was about her parents taking her and their son to the movies, then to an ice cream place.

She was already retired, literally a millionaire.

Paket properties are not respected on the public internet, but organizations do make use of them internally.

For public clouds who operate global networks, they can typically send video streams at low/mid priority all the way to "last mile" ISP by peering with so many networks and just running massive WANs internally. So they can get most of the benefits of prioritization, even though the internet doesn't support it.
The Metaverse Is Not a Place. It’s a Communications Medium
Good assessment, lines up quite accurately with what we're seeing. In our post, when we said "experienced engineers", we meant more "folks with programming experience" and less "pro" users :) We've updated the post.

When we first started out, we didn't pay any attention to guidance at all, and instead focused entirely on the "challenge" aspect. At that time, it was less common for early career engineers to try out the product.

We've evolved a bit since, and now it's common for us to also see early career professionals, support engineers at devtool companies, bootcamp grads, etc. From time to time, we come across Engineering Managers who'll do our modules as a way to "stay in touch" with programming (and picking up a new language they'd been itching to learn — e.g Rust).

We're probably not suitable for someone new to programming, but otherwise all other levels are welcome and find value.
To be fair they tend to do that quite a lot. It's only the really large things we get to see and the shooting of ones own toes off.
When you listen to Jocko talk about himself, you are not getting an honest accounting about an actual human being

Your are being given a story created by Jocko to build the Jocko mythos. Jocko will not let any truths get in the way of a good story about the mythical Jocko. His artisinal leather boots and cologne don't sell themselves, you know.
"The internet" is "best effort". What this really means is all of the networks that make up the internet don't pay attention to the DSCP marks[0] in the IP header.

In reality almost all large networks (internal and internet traffic handling) use MPLS[1] or some variant to tunnel/encapsulate different types of traffic and handle priority that way while not paying attention to whatever DSCP markings users can arbitrarily set. MPLS (in most cases) is invisible to the end user so the carrier can do their own QoS while not allowing customer configuration to impact it.

If "the internet" cared about DSCP you would definitely see the situation you're describing where everyone would just mark their traffic highest priority. Note you can still mark it, it's just that no one cares or respects it.

On your network and queues you can definitely use DSCP and 802.1p[2] (layer 2 - most commonly ethernet) to prioritize traffic. Thing here is you need equipment end to end (every router, switch, etc) that's capable of parsing these headers and adjusting queueing accordingly.

As if this isn't complicated enough, in the case of the typical edge connection (a circuit from an ISP) you don't have direct control of inbound traffic - when it gets to you is just when it gets to you.

Unless you use something like ifb[3], in which case you can kind of fake ingress queuing by way of wrapping it through another interface that effectively makes the traffic look like egress traffic. All you can really do here is introduce delay and or drop packets which for TCP traffic most commonly will trigger TCP congestion control, causing the transmitting side to back off because they'll think they're sending data too fast for your link.

UDP doesn't have congestion control but in practice that just means it's implemented higher in the stack. Protocols like QUIC, etc have their own congestion control implemented that in many cases can effectively behave like TCP. The difference here is the behavior in these scenarios is left dictated to the implementation as opposed to being at the mercy of the kernel/C lib/wherever else TCP is implemented.

Clear as mud, right?

Good news is many modern end user routers just kind of handle this with things like FQ-Codel, etc.

Reading the title I thought the author talked about their Labrador dog and I got really confused for 1 second.
Not to knock SDF for one moment, but some of these shells suffer a bit from being “a museum”, that is to say… representing a moment in history, or reenactment of that period. I’m considering building a completely modern interpretation of a shell community/host for an invite-only social network of sorts. It just happens to be one based on the unix platform, permissions, groups, etc.

I would theorize part of it is boredom and specifically fighting it. When I was very young, there were only a few channels on television. I could read some books, watch tv, play with my toys, but that was about it as far as entertaining myself. Today, I have plenty of things to fight boredom and to socialize without leaving the house, as do my kids.

When you are bored a large percentage of the time, you seek ways to alleviate boredom, such as going to events, hanging out with friends, hosting parties, etc.

I think a lot of people don't realize how boring life was as early as the 1980s for most people. I can't imagine how boring things were prior to that.

Another reason is just the fear people have today, facilitated by the news and politicians. I'm sure it plays some sort of role. There was a lot of fear peddling in the 1980s too.
You have the same problem with clean hydrogen.

Carbon taxes work extremely well, btw, but i agree they have to be combined with an equivalent carbon import duty.
So was Apple being disingenuous this whole time about privacy? Presuming they plan on using all the data they capture from their users iDevices for their ad platform. Is there a way to opt out of that?
I use gitg as well, I think it does a fine job of the important stuff for me (visualizing commit history, viewing diffs, managing branch operations) but it certainly is a bit on the bare-bones side of things.

As a side-note, gitg will actually compile for MacOS, but modern GTK/GNOME libs are really poorly optimized for the platform. If it didn't make my Mac 70c when launching gitg, I'd probably feel more comfortable using it as my only git client.

Yep. I switched to Sublime Merge. Very reasonably priced, especially when bundled with Sublime Text.
He is full of himself because he uses a bit of French in an English text? I don't understand how that works. It's a common literary technique to do this and it is not without place in scholarly articles.

Just because a text is not pandering to the lowest common denominator with respect to literacy, it's not "full of [itself]".
Probably not, unless you can explain the advantages. I mean, it could protect my account from most of (all?) the automated and remote attacks, but frankly I won't be happy to have to get out of my home to reset a password. It's too similar to have to walk into a bank to sign some paper instead of doing it from home.

Any big good reason I didn't think about?
Maybe it's in the training data? At least some special kind of monkey (human) touching some lizard is.

China's Final Warning [Wikipedia]
I am going to stand by the "well they won't" because all the people I know with private jets most certainly won't. Even if the government used eminent domain and forced buy-backs at $10-$50 million per aircraft they would just buy something that skirts the line to meet business needs. More likely they would just buy out all the seats on a 737 so they can change the flight plan, leading to even more waste and longer lines at airports but that won't meet the needs of business folks that are landing at small class C airports and thereby leading to lawsuits. Folks land near me all the time in their private jets. The nearest commercial airline is a couple hours away. Time is money and is also critical for back-to-back business meetings.

There are likely a small number of celebrities that use these aircraft to avoid sitting with us plebs and for status but the vast majority of them are use for business purposes that can not be replaced by commercial airlines in a manor that business folks would consider acceptable. Most of these people have legal teams that would battle any action taken by the government and in the end we would just waste vast amounts of taxpayer funds. That may sound defeatist but we have all witnessed the legal fallout of smaller changes.
Perhaps you don't see it this way, but I take our eventual convergence as a sign that we don't actually disagree. It's rather that the problem we're starting from is different. Thanks for taking your time for this debate!
There is, but I can't remember the link, haha. You just kinda learn things over the years. This one can be reached by clicking on the domain name of a linked article, so it's easy to remember how to get there.

>Fun fact, your own page shows that the the minimum at Columbia is higher than the max at University of Amsterdam!

NYC is far more expensive than Amsterdam. Salary at UVA is higher than the majority of US stipends. Period. This isn't debatable. It's probably higher than stipends at almost every Public university in the US and many Private ones outside the Ivy+ group.

>Grad students just tell me "Hey, I'll be gone these 3 weeks." And I say "Enjoy". That's it. Same with sick leave.

It's unfortunate that your Stockholm syndrome has led you to beliefs like having guaranteed PTO is not as good as hoping your advisor lets you take a break.

>You have no idea about the cost of housing in UCN vs Amsterdam. Or what cheap means.

Take your pick of sources. You're just pulling numbers out of thin air.

>Your own numbers completely refute your story. And even the simplest Google search shows that perks in the US are actually far better than perks in the EU. That vacations are good, conference travel is not "business travel" in the US, that you get paid time off, etc.

Maybe get your eyes checked?

Pretty sure 40,000 is higher than 25,000 but maybe I'm wrong there.
Your idea of what constitutes perks is some kind of hellish capitalist nightmare.
If you are going to waste people's CPU time anyway, might just as well mine some bitcoins with it I guess?

Using users' browsers to mine bitcoins is doing almost exactly the same thing as this.

You are one person, and is sensible. Humanity as a whole, not so much so, sadly.
Yes, scale is a huge factor creating the margin. I'm actually on a team that is responsible for guiding the cloud part of the company in what hardware to buy (among other things), and I've seen the purchase orders; it is indeed incredible the deals one can cut when one buys hundreds of thousands of things.

However, whatever deal one may be able to cut there must be accounted for in terms of the rest of COGS, including salaries, taxes, and everything else. The company charges well above COGS in order to turn a sizable profit, and to give some room to compress the profit margin should another cloud provider decide to pressure them on prices.

Basically, the cost would be comparable if you invoiced yourself for your time setting up your homelab, and had to pay your spouse a fee for taking up a perfectly fine closet with noisy blinking lights.
Finance. At the very least, understand your tax situation and the way to make the best of it - it's basically free money. Over time, proper budgeting, investment, and tax planning will easily return you 10x. Now I'm not saying it's about making the most money - but really more making the most of your money. Being rich means having more than you need, and it's easier to have more than you need if you keep your needs simple and frugal where it wouldn't otherwise impact your life.
I suspect some of these are "bots sold for hire" where they make money selling the bot to people, many of whom don't know how to use it and run it with the default config.

I've found spam email that certainly is the above, because it has things like PUT_LINK_TO_STORE_HERE and other variables that obviously weren't updated in the config file.
No, not at all.

I see it as little more than GPT-3 having a list of words like "cunt", "fuck" and "shit" and realizing that there is little to be gained in including these words right now, so skipping them makes sense until we figure out some more urgent things first.
Daniel, you are working in a field that has a low tolerance for doublespeak.

Parent has politely pointed out that the website needs revision. 85% of disease is related to the blood metabome? No. You will be detecting early disease signatures in a clincally actionable manner? No, you will almost certainly not be, and you know this.

The data isn't actually PHI. Stanford isn't actually a partner. AI in this field isn't actually real. Nature Medicine isn't actually Nature. Ect.

For historical reasons the benefit of doubt with regard to the scientific credibility of your startup is low. In my opinion, it would be better if you made an effort not to prove this assumption correct.

It needs a high pressure rail with fuel pump, electronic injection and ignition control. This adds considerably to the cost, which when you take it into the engineering optimization problem, starts pointing to electric plus batteries for these small sizes. You need about 100cc before it makes sense to start looking for fuel engines, or some application that requires really high energy density for long endurance at light weight (eg. surveillance drones).
The electricity will eventually be turned into heat too. Since PV panels are pretty dark, in most places where you put them they will increase the amount of heat generated, because less light is reflected back to space.
Because ghost kitchens have less skin in the game. They can ship a subpar product and then whenever their reviews get bad enough, they just pick a new name and start over "fresh" as an exciting "new" restaurant. Brick and mortar restaurants have a reputation to uphold. Every time I've ordered from a ghost kitchen the food has been considerably worse.
>Today in California, grad students live in poverty. Their standard of living reminds me of undergrads in Finland, except that they can't afford to rent a whole apartment. Only the ones with a decent side gig (such as consulting) can afford something resembling the lifestyle of Finnish grad students 10-15 years ago.

Who needs benefits like affording to live in a home when you can have Conference Travel instead! Woo!

What about teaching non-parametric statistics, like the use of Concentration Inequalities? See https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=3712 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_inequality.

Hoeffding's inequality, Chebyshev's inequality, and Chernoff's inequality are broadly applicable, and are therefore less likely to be misused. They also don't require philosophical assumptions about subjective probabilities.

In the theory of Multi-Armed Bandit algorithms, compare the Bayesian approach (Thompson sampling) with the Concentration Inequality approach (the UCB algorithm). The former assumes that payoffs are in the 2-element set {0,1}, while the latter allows payoffs to be in the interval [0,1].

I think Bayesian is cool, but it imposes a big burden with choosing sensible priors.
