For me, I tend to think of "3x" and "cheaper" as separate operations. So "3x cheaper" sounds like you're saying new_price = price - 3*price.

That (usually) makes no sense, so I assume people mean something else when they say it, but I never have any clue what. Is it a third of the original price? Is it two thirds (new_price = price - price/3)?

Percentages also work this way. If I say "10% cheaper", most people understand that I mean the price is 90% of what it was previously. Although percentages get weird when increasing the price.

e.g. if it was a flat doubling, I would say that as "200% of the price" (new_price = price*(200/100)).

However, I take "200% more expensive" to mean new_price = price + price*(200/100). To me, the "more" implies addition specifically.
System webviews on macOS aren’t updated after a certain point, so Tauri is not necessarily always a win re: your final point.
No. The "grotesque betrayal" is scumbag politicians like Priti Patel betraying the general public by attempting to destroy any semblance of privacy in their daily lives and wheeling out the tired old "think of the children" excuse to paint anyone against total surveillance as enabling child abuse.

I guess this is a problem without a solution that will make everyone happy. On my side 8 hours without a single human interaction are my ideal working day (unfortunately that rarely happens since I have many meetings or people reaching out on teams).
This article rubbed me the wrong way. I gained a lot of bad weight over COVID. Most of this was because I wasn’t moving and I was eating a lot of food that made me feel good but my body stored as fat.

Now I’m being a lot more deliberate about my choices in food, exercise, etc. the weight is slowly, but consistently disappearing.

I’m finally feeling like myself again. My overall mood is better and I’m not compensating with food that I don’t need.

Every article has an intended audience. When I have a complaint like this, I just assume that the audience was somebody else. Mostly I just move on, but sometimes I'll take the time to do enough research that I understand.

As an occasional writer, I think that's great. I like writing 101-level pieces from time to time, but I'd go mad if I couldn't write for a more specific audience. E.g. I really like commenting here because I can just trust that people, say, know what git is and the constellation of common opinions about it. Not only would explaining all that "take effort", but for people familiar, it comes across as boring filler.
It feels like a Clockwork Orange's aversion therapy eyelid-clamper thing sometimes.

I mute the volume for ads to take away some of that edge. It's one of the few things I can control about it.
I noticed that 1080p version of The Sandman streamed at average 3 mbit/s. I would expect that kind of numbers from Youtube, not supposed high-quality stream. The picture is still sharp and doesn't have obvious compression artifacts so there must be something else in play.
Because they have no vision of the future and probably feel irrelevant.
Hi Valbaca, thanks for the comment, we are operating under the assumption that freely shared resources can be shared further, and we are only charging for the platform and the features we are providing like filtering, accessibility, ui and real time availability and updates, plus we will be adding more resources and features, that's what for which we are charging a fee.

But we will carefully think and act on this by consulting our lawyer. We really appreciate your comment. Thanks.
My experience as well!

I guess the Sandman TV show benefited from Neil Gaiman's watching over it. He claims he blocked many a bad Sandman adaptation from being produced, and this one -- with its inevitable changes -- has his approval and oversight. I think it shows.
So this is why when I google for information about [x], a day or so later Google News starts showing me bad news involving [x]?
Stay away from sovereign citizens. They play dumb word games or use magical thinking to convince themselves that they can ignore laws. Nothing they say or claim is reality, and has no value to people who intend to not break petty laws.
Ask HN: Is this a feasible idea or rather not?
Hello HN,

I have a pretty weird idea and I'm wondering if it is technically feasible: advertising is in my opinion poison for the mind and I avoid it where I can. At the same time I use lots of sites and services that are ad powered and I am blocking ads knowing full well that I deprive these providers from a revenue stream. But ads are just too obnoxious.

Would it be possible to create a service that serves up 'blank' content (let's call it 'whitespace') in every ad spot on the sites that you visit but that uses the same mechanism as the ad delivery services. So instead of advertisers buying up the space I would buy up the space on the sites that I visit creating a revenue stream that is as good or better than the one that advertisers would offer, effectively crowding them out.

OpenRTB or something like that would be a good start to inject this because you could essentially become your own agency there but I'm not sure how easy it would be to qualify for bidding on a large enough segment to make it worth your while. And on the off chance that an alternative channel would try to deliver ads anyway that could simply be blocked.

So, what's your judgment, is this a viable proposition or not, and if not why not?

And if it were available would you use it?
Maybe in absolute terms, but only because there are so many more people now. You should read[1] about the way triangular trade in colonial America led to very low prices for rum creating and epidemic of alcoholism so bad it the social

To be fair, 2 of the 3 available tiers of Netflix don't include HDR; if they are delivering a color palate for HDR to all of those tiers, it's no wonder it looks bad.

Yeah, the decrease in asset prices is just an unavoidable side effect (and similiarly, the increase in asset prices under the previous low-interest, low-inflation environment was a side effect of attempts to boost inflation and the real economy, not some large scale plot to transfer money to the super wealthy as is often claimed).
In a few years, when a generative text model that's actually open is made, erotic text will 100% be a main use. But of course people don't like thinking about that...
I really dislike how the auth system is implemented, that it is only accessible with a generator.

I had a crappy auth system I wanted to migrate to it, I had to run the generator and try to update my code with the generated logic. Ugh, not fun.

But regarding contexts, they're just modules. Nothing mandates them, it's just a best practice to collect database functions in their own module, whatever the language. I've never used the context generator.

I also asked it to help me write a letter to my homesick daughter at summer camp. It was really helpful. I feel that GPT3 has an enviable degree of emotional intelligence, nuance and conceptual understanding. Writing and communicating effectively with people is very hard. Our own emotions get in the way. Now we have technology that can help people be better communicators with each other. It’s a big deal.

Chinese hot and sour soup. Pure miracle.

Also, stick to one drink type (beer, wine or hard spirits), avoid liquors and the risk of hangover will be close to 0.

Just in case, drink one or two large glasses of water before going to bed. Reduces the risk even further.
It came up with a fantastic conference proposal for me that I spent 20 minutes editing and then just sent, unedited.

Snowflake is nowhere near a monopoly, and plenty of customers have moved from other vendors (Teradata, Netezza, etc) to Snowflake - showing that vendor lock-in is not as strong as it might seem.
I agree. Experience has taught me to hesitate to speak in absolutes absent a hard proof, but until I see a counter-example I'll believe that all abstractions are more or less leaky. Even pure functional programs have the observable side effect of using CPU time.

It's a difficult problem that I believe has no globally optimal solution. However, I think there's fruitful research to be done in better recognizing what ought to be abstracted and what ought not to be in some domain specific sort of way. Informally we do this already. For example it's relatively common knowledge that one shouldn't leak username validity via timing attacks, so in that case the processing time cannot be abstracted away.
It’s great that your son is feeling better. Unfortunately, weight isn’t always the cause. I’m not overweight but still tried to drop 10 pounds but it made no difference.
>1x cheaper would be same price.

Let's say you have a product for sale at $32. Then you have a sale to boost name recognition, and have a coupon for $32 dollars off (limited time offer). Or equivalently, that would be $32 cheaper. So the net price is free ($0). $32 cheaper = 100% cheaper = 1x cheaper. Likewise, 25% cheaper = 25% less expensive, or doing the math $32 - 0.25*$32 = 0.75*$32 = $24.
Anecdata here but I’ve built ~30lbs of muscle from when I was a skinny kid back in school.

I’m curious what the core argument is from these books. Could you tell me more?
I believe they use active cooling to keep the plug frozen.

If the power fails, the cooling fails and the plug melts.
Maybe they've always been there, but it just took you a few years to notice them. By how often you hear this sentiment (X newspaper used to be better, more thoughtful and analytical), you'd expect news articles written a few decades ago to read like dissertations. Except they all read about the same, newsy and for a general audience. My theory is it takes a few years to notice the crap, but the crap was there all the time.
With careful change management and access control. It's easy to turn off a system if you know for sure that nobody is using it anymore. Large companies and militaries do it all the time just fine so there is no reason a dynamic young startup shouldn't be able to do it. :)

(As a non-sarcastic response: back when I was an officer in the navy, how we would get rid of systems was most definitely taken into account from the very start. Even before we started building ships or radars or whatever, budgets and dock space would be reserved ~30 years into the future to do the decommissioning work. I do realize that this works much better for established organizations that can be reasonably sure that they will exists in 30 years, after all most startups are hard pressed to last even two. That said, completely disregarding any planning on how to grow out of your current systems does seem to have been the case at all the startups I have consulted for and was a major part of technical debt. IMO a technical leader should know where the skeletons are hidden in the setup for their organization and know roughly in how many months/years they will no longer suffice. Then they can plan the replacement and/or upgrading of said skeletons accordingly)
> Something is seriously wrong with humanity if poisoning ourselves regularly to dissociate with reality remains this popular as a core social component.

Yes something is deeply wrong with human nature, and human existence is largely suffering no matter how you try to mask it.

I agree that it's a bandaid but what solution are you proposing? There is of course the option to simply exit the game, but for various biological reasons this is a real challenge.

Poisoning ourselves regularly and feeling good doing it sounds like a reasonable compromise.
> They also sacrificed humans to their gods. The tenure of a bad habit is not an argument in favour of the habit.

But how certain are you that most of the problems that we struggle with today aren't a result of insufficient ritual sacrifice? Maybe we need to heed the lesson taught to us by the movie Cabin in the Woods.
I think it's better to think the subscription as renting a show or two, rather than something that's supposed to keep running.
Gosh, yes. When my third child was due to be born, I was driving a 1998 Toyota Camry, a mid-sized car, and it was literally impossible to fit three carseats into the backseat. To accommodate a three-year-old, a two-year-old, and a newborn, we had to upsize to a minivan. There was no lesser option!

Carseats are incredibly wide.
> People will point to all of the supposed "social lubricant" benefits etc... of drinking culture, but I'm not convinced it's anything but a band-aid on some combination of social anxiety and existential dread.

If it's not alcohol it's drugs, if it's not drugs it's gambling. If it's not gambling it's approaching women at the bar. If it's not approaching women at the bar it's speeding.

People have a deep need to do something that entails risk or that it's frowned upon (or both).

Cultures where this doesn't happen such as Japan are essentially dying and going extinct and so is Europe and US aelbit at a slower rate. Will rightfully get replaced by cultures who DGAF and have a high turnover rate such as the Arab world, Indians and Sub-Saharan Africa
Yeah seriously, the “perpetual golden hour” phenomenon goes way back. Bruckheimer 80s blockbusters were big on this. Even in the 1970s, shooting large portions of a full movie during “magic hour” was staring to become a trend, see for example 1978’s Days of Heaven[0]:

I've always thought the Apple TV + shows exhibit the most uniform "look" of any of the streaming services. Ted Lasso is probably the most pronounced example with vibrant colors, bright/uniform lighting, and a consistent "clean" look. I guess it makes a lot of sense given Apple's design aesthetic. Has anyone else noticed this?
Every time they do this, a few hundred ants decide, they may very well be next and move out. Supporting them through whatever they need may not be quite the net loss you claim it is.
> For example, Craiyon (formally DALL-E Mini), is good, but it's nothing compared to the real DALL-E.

Yet Stable Diffusion is already getting open sourced and is just as good, if not better than what I am seeing with DALL-E 2.
In my area of the US, I have a suspicion that undocumented workers left the area during the pandemic. But it is just anecdotal observation - I don't have an special source of data to support that. Lots of "heard a story from a friend" and just noticing how easy it is for high school students to get jobs almost immediately versus 2018-2019. Around here, 16-year olds are walking into food service/retail and working the next day . . .

A few years prior to the pandemic, my brother shared a story from the medium-sized manufacturing company he worked at. A rumor started that an "ICE raid" was going to occur sometime during the week. Something like 1/2 to 2/3 of the factory workers didn't show for work over the next couple of days. Even assuming it was less impact than that, it seems to say that a significant number of factory floor workers were in some kind of position that caused them to fear ICE.

I am . . . bearish . . . on trusting news articles about this topic. There are just so many incentives to shape articles to get clicks . . .
my original comment wasn't addressing the topic at hand, but solicitation as a concept
Sure, we should just go back in time to when we had carburetors and simple fuses instead of CAN bus etc. Who needs modern tech in our cars (or computers).

Sometimes the whole right to repair movement seems to be populated with luddites who just want to live with 1980's technology so they can enjoy turning a wrench.

Union membership is down but anti-discrimination laws are as strong as ever. I was just saying that in companies that are unionized, there is a strong incentive for management to turn to rigid rules and documentation of minor transgressions.
It's not an issue of lacking anchors, in my experience. It's that there doesn't exist (AFAIK) a car wide enough to accommodate three carseats side-by-side. Carseats are very wide.

>I think breathless doomsaying about climate change is a brilliant example. The overwhelming zeitgeist is one of learned helplessness. But the more people feel that global disaster is both imminent and inevitable, the fewer people will be motivated to work on the problem.

I'm not living in the US, but this one buggers me a lot. In my country school they are "educating" children about climate change and pollution. My child, who is worrying about everything, is freaking out about the planet future and animals. This summer at the beach, he freaked out about microplastics in the sea and made sure I put the rubbish in the bin.

The trouble is that all these pollution speech are always about disasters, they give no hope for future generations. This is the main issue in my opinion, there is no dream to look forward at the moment. Where are the dreams about flying cars and great cities? Robots serving us while we spend our lives at the beach?
Who cares? Where’s the list of people partying with Jeffrey Epstein? That’s what people really want to know
Are freeze plug failures recoverable? Or is is this a final failsafe that toasts the reactor?
Yup, I worked on a PC-to-Mac networking server product and we tested with TokenRing as well. Massive hardware but good performance. We also had a lot of coax wire in those days. To this day I still look down on twisted pair and the garbage Ethernet connectors we use now.
I also implemented clipping in my software rasterizer a while ago and can definitely sympathize! (Although I've written several simple scanline rasterizers in my life, this was the first time I actually bothered to implement proper clipping. I actually reinvented Sutherland–Hodgman from scratch which was pretty fun.) The problematic part is actually only the near plane due to how projective geometry works. At z=0 there's a discontinuity in real coordinates after z division, which means there can be no edges that cross from negative to positive z. Z division turns such an edge [a0, a1] into an "inverse" edge (-∞, a0'] ∪ [a1', ∞) which naturally makes rendering a bit tricky. In projective/homogenous coordinates, however, it is fine, because the space "wraps around" from positive to negative infinity. All the other planes you can clip against in screen space / NDC space if you wish, but I'm not sure there are good reasons to split the job like that.
It's not an oxymoron, it's just a lie.
I noticed that there are some mixed opinions on nasal vs full face mask. According to some doctors nasal masks are better because you need to be breathing thru the nose and push the tongue out.

I am almost using this format for my markdown todo app written in Ruby:

https://github.com/coezbek/rodo

Differences:

I use unicode symbols such as ⌛ or for paused or priority items.

I use dash for obsolete/canceled items. I find this more in line with bullet journal which inspired the development of Rodo.

I do use markdown bullet lists because I like to indent and order stuff.

Rodo is organized primarily around showing the todos of a day (mostly today) and provides the tools to postpone or carry-over todays to another day.
Hi RyEgswuCsn,

I think these resources are not exactly open source, these are more like freely shared resources, as we are students, we didn't knew enough about legal stuff, so we have decided to consult a lawyer, and we will act on this, and make sure we do not break any rules.

Until then, we would really appreciate if you can upvote and share about us with early stage entrepreneurs who can benefit from FundingFyre.

We really appreciate your advice, thanks a lot.
It probably means that it has 3X better value. If I spent $1 previously to do X, I can now do 3X for the same $1.

I think this is more intuitive for most people than using percent difference for the same reason using a raw ratio (speed up) is better for expressing performance improvement.
Currency devaluation is basically demanding that workers do more for less. That's great for companies, if those workers accept it and don't jump ship. However some of the brightest Germans I know are in the process of emigrating. They are tired of lockdowns and inflation and everything.

My problem with calling this evidence is that the simulation itself is taken as the theory being tested, without saying so. Nothing wrong with that, but it's an extremely specific theory. So specific, we can already call it wrong.
