> To be precise, the study demonstrated that the decision is registered before the person is able to report having decided. In other words, the oversight of consciousness is simply delayed. This seems perfectly reasonable: the brain is mechanical, there are limits on "bandwidth" and simultaneity.

Good point, and I appreciate the clarification. It still seems to suggest (to me) that the "locus" (if there is one) of decision making is in the unconscious portion of the mind, no?

> This is something that people can and have trained themselves on. It's far from impossible, even if it's not a simple skill.

This is what I was hoping to talk about: the idea that we (might) start out as "meat robots" but we have the capacity to develop free will and become "real people" (whatever that might mean.)

What if free will is a matter of degree?

But thats just it, having many silos for connected information is just not the way we humans do it, nor necessary. A single conceptually indexed space/time hypergraph (as we humans do it) for any part of the world is all you need, scalable up to many billions of edges for that one part of the world.
Sure, but you can’t seriously argue that there is a significant audience of people who’d refrain from buying games if they couldn’t pirate them.
The most touted reason is that their anti-spam systems only support IPv4. Their old Cloudflare endpoint however is still alive and you can't disable IPv6 on Cloudflare so feel free to add the following to your /etc/hosts:

Interestingly when I tried to post the above comment over IPv6 I got a Cloudflare "You have been blocked" page. This might be something they do not want you to know! :D
You forgot the "arbitrary" qualifier.
No downvote needed, it's a genuine question, and I'll try to answer based on my view.

Leasing is just a different form of buying the car, in a sense. Yes, the contract/agreement is not equivalent to a purchase, but in essence what you are doing is transforming a set of unknowns (will I have to repair my car twice in the first three years? How much will I spend? How many kilometers will I drive?) with more known quantities ($X/month, Y miles per year included, etc), and you don't have to pay the car upfront, but pay a monthly installment. (approximation, give me some rope here).

Instead, paying a monthly fee to heat my car seats is an aberration of the economic model. It doesn't make any sense, from a customer perspective.

Of course, we are all moving towards a subscription economy, and most customers will simply be royally f*cked up by that, and regulation/government will turn the other way in most cases. Good luck to us.

"Montant maximal de la prime à la conversion pour l’achat ou la location d’un VAE conditionnée à la mise à la casse d’un ancien véhicule essence ou diesel « polluant » est égal à 40 % du coût d’acquisition"

I also see this here [1] on a government site

"Le montant de l'aide de l'État est fixé à 40 % du coût d'acquisition"

But.. I'm unsure. As the GP said, there are multiple conditions. It's not a check for 4k euros.

I was talking from a purely mechanical perspective.
> How? Just use AppService / EC2 for managed machines. Scales just as well.

It's not about scaling. It's about being able to make a docker image, run that locally on your developer laptop (even if it's a mac) and running the exact same thing in production. Sure you can use docker on top of EC2 but why would you? Just use the ready to go solution you can just buy (managed k8s) and avoid the lock-in. Again, it's critical that you use managed k8s. Don't roll it yourself on top of EC2.

> You need a DB most of the time. Managed DBs are easier.

Sure. Using k8s for your app isn't stopping you from doing that if you want. We deploy 1 database server per testing environment, which kubernetes makes easy to do. For production we use a managed database, but they're too expensive for testing environments.

> Our crapware doesn't freeze. Needs a custom Health Check endpoint. Can just as easily restart the instance when that check fails.

Mine doesn't either. But I have to run plenty of software that isn't mine.

> K8S is a ton of extra overhead for no gain

If you used managed k8s you're just trading server management for kubernetes resource management. I've migrated our system from Ansible + Cloud VMs to kubernetes several years ago, after running it for years before, and things have become significantly easier to maintain and our costs are roughly the same as before. Less vendor lock-in, too. It would take me an about an afternoon to switch between any of the major managed kubernetes offerings, and some of our clients have expressed preferences for a specific cloud.

Just in on my drive to work, as I approached an intersection, the light went from yellow to red. I had time to slow down and stop. I was at a complete stop for a full moment when a van in the neighboring lane comes from behind me and just full on runs the light.
Nothing to do with privacy, certainly. It does offer some value, though. If your FB account was banned for whatever reason you would previously be unable to use your Oculus VR headset. Now, in theory, that isn't a concern.
I just commented someplace else that I’m using Godot to achieve exactly that. Much smaller and nimbler than Unity, too.
Ask HN: Do you use any tools/services to help with your learning?
Hah, it took me and a bunch of other people in the Rust discord a fair amount of time to figure out how to get the first example to compile correctly in the first place, and I find the “transpose()” business to be particularly convoluted. I think even Rust people would prefer the imperative version. I also suspect there’s some hindsight benefit at play in that it’s easier to make sense of the first snippet than it was to write it.
There are research on how many accidents are reported and at least in Sweden most accidents that require hospital visits are reported correctly. (and they mimick what is said in other countries).

Streets with bicycle paths are a safer for pedestrians, I think there is research from NYC/Brooklyn comparing streets before and after bike paths.
It seems better for second-hand sales though? You can sell your car as having heated seats available even if you never paid for them or used them. And you can sell to buyers who both want heated seats and those that don't. Buyers who don't want them don't have to waste money on them.
Considering that HN slants heavily in the direction of the US, I'm not sure the latter statement is that accurate.
I've had this random graphics stutter that would never ever show up in any benchmark at all, but weirder than anything else was that it also wouldn't show up in recordings made on that machine.

To save you the story of weeks-long debugging efforts - the problem turned out to the monitor. It was a Dell Ultrasharp 25", and (as I now know) they all had an issue where the monitor would freeze roughly every 20 seconds for a frame, because the monitor was advertising the refresh rate to windows as 59.95Hz but it was actually refreshing at 60Hz internally - the timing would get out of sync pretty much exactly every 20 seconds, causing the monitor to "pause" and freeze - which looked like stutter when playing games. The solution was using some kind of program(forgot the name now) which basically overrode the refresh information being sent from the monitor and forced windows to refresh at exactly 60Hz and no less - then it worked fine. But of course if you used it with a PS4 then you didn't have any way to do that and just had to suffer this stutter every 20 seconds.
I had a small project hosted in Heroku. After the whole debacle with security I wanted to get ahead of any more potential disruptions and migrated over to AWS EC2 + RDS + Dokku. Being my first time with AWS, I thought it was more straightforward than I thought. RDS seemed like a nice early optimization too (and also mimics how Heroku handles Databases normally by having a separate server for them off the get-go).
> If I spend 10 hours on a take home instead of my consultancy I'm out thousands of dollars.

My reasoning for not demanding I should be compensated:

1. Presumably something about the opportunity on offer is more compelling than your second best option of working on your own consultancy earning $200+/hour, otherwise why are you applying for the role in the first place? I'd argue that if the opportunity is otherwise compelling in the long term, demanding breakeven for one day's work is being penny-wise and pound foolish. Taking it to an extreme, if there was a job that paid $10 million/year but the interview process was so involved I needed to burn an entire year's worth of vacation time to interview for it, whether I'd do it would come down to expected value of the decision (i.e. probability of passing the interview), not the absolute investment I was making.

2. I'd consider this form of cost-analysis rationale a weak one because it can be applied to basically any decision in life yet it gets applied selectively, so it's kind of a roundabout way of saying "I don't want to do that." Nobody (probably?) is applying this analysis to sleeping 6 hours a night versus 8, yet that would yield 10 more billable consulting hours (per week!) too.
Your comment is classicist. People finance their cars and most EVs are far far above what you would get with an entry level cars. Now those market including secondary market are going to see a rise in prices.

So, now that I've obliterated the 51% attack idea, shall we move on to 66% attack?

It doesn't matter if it's a 90% attack. The minority miners are constantly receiving and using the majority's blocks. So it is not 66% vs. 33%, or 90% vs. 10%; it is 60% vs. 100% and 90% vs. 100%.

All it takes is for the less-restrictive minority to mine two blocks in a row and they've permanently outpaced the majority's more restrictive chain.
Kanopy's great, but it's probably not gonna have Friends/Seinfeld or whatever the parent comment was ripping.
I'm not saying it's not complex and hard. On the contrary - it's incredibly complex and hard but that raises another question: just how far from this ecosystem being ready for prime time are we?

At the risk of yet another comparison of blockchain and the internet:

Ethereum is at least seven years old, has a market cap of $200B, and the main "sponsor" alone (Ethereum Foundation) has over a billion dollars. For reference Google was built within two years (in the 90s!) with a total inflation adjusted investment of a few hundred thousands dollars - all starting a few years after the release of the web.

I know it's not the same thing but CERN says "the web" was "released" in 1993. Would the web have been nearly as successful with these kinds of hijinks taking place with the fundamental enabling software and protocols in 2000? Seven years in the web and the internet (which was also incredibly complex and hard) was already rock solid (certainly by comparison) with many orders of magnitude more users interacting with and depending on it everyday.

All of this (and countless other references) makes blockchain look more like fusion power than the "early days" (first thirteen years) of the internet, personal computers, mobile, etc.
Tangential rant: What will it take to get the major media outlets to stop referring to Federal rules / Washington, D.C. colloquially as "Washington"? I think this is one of the most jarring examples I've seen recently. Even knowing what they're trying say, it reads wrong.

> Experts said the new California rule, in both its stringency and reach, could stand alongside the Washington law as one of the world’s most important climate change policies, and could help take another significant bite out of the nation’s emissions of carbon dioxide. The new rule is also expected to influence new policies in Washington and around the world to promote electric vehicles and cut auto pollution.
A good netcode that does not trust the client already gets you most of the way. Games developed for consoles first trust the client to a large extent, so the PC ports are easy to write cheats for.
Walking is free. A bike is like a couple hundred bucks max. Sidewalks and bike lanes are way cheaper on your taxes than major highways, associated traffic fatalities (all the young people dying before they can contribute to society), insurance, maintenance, and all of that.

You're talking about comparing EVs to ICE on cost when neither are cost effective. They're both the wrong answer.

>So some people may choose to not include some transactions (Ethermine is already doing this on PoW with Tornado Cash). But there is no mechanism that slashes your staked coins because the other validators didn't like what transactions you included.

>PoS is in fact even more resistant because in PoS you can kick out the malicious validators by doing a social fork that slashes their stake.

If a group of validators don't agree with your particular arrangement of transactions in the block, they can engineer a "social fork" that slashes your stake.

> Do the architects have intense debates over steel H beams vs wooden LVL beams, and at some point newbie architects believe you should only switch from one to the other as an architecture firm if your architects have experience with it, because the only way to know if it would work is reading the marketing claims.

That is one way to put it, which is convenient for the point you're making. A different way, more convenient for the point I'm making is that if you're budding roads and you need a bridge, you probably wouldn't hire a firm that only has experience building tunnels.

So you see, your analogy is meaningless, because making an analogy is not a convincing way of making a point. Anyone can make an analogy.

My argument on the other hand that experience is a very important factor, is a lot more convincing because anyone who has any kind of professional career already agreed with it.

> This license limiting reselling the software itself "AS IS".

I don't know what that sentence means, but is a fine reason why GH isn't able to classify the license text
The distinction of what belongs to telecoms and what belongs to the Internet is only due to how the technologies have evolved. It's a legacy quirk of the "it's always been like that" type. I'm all for reducing telecoms entirely to "dumb pipe" ISPs and moving everything to IP, calls too. Mandated inter-connectivity only exists to fix a problem that telecoms have created by having access to unencrypted insecure special-purpose comms traffic and being able to abuse this privilege. This should have been encrypted IP data they can't touch or discriminate.

Phone numbers are an outdated idea, and shouldn't exist any more (and Signal is terrible for using them). You should have more privacy and have more control over your identity than what the legacy telecom setup allows. For example in most countries in Europe you can't get a phone number without a government ID tying it to your legal identity, and telecoms may be obliged to log your call metadata. Would you prefer e-mail as an open IP protocol, or a setup of traditional licensed postal operators that require government's permission to make an e-mail account for you?
The experience of doing it with a password is pretty poor compared to using a TPM. Every time the computer reboots, I need to type in the password. If it is a remote machine, I have to physically be at the station to type in the password.

Keeping the key file on a USB drive isn't exactly safe either, as there's a high likelihood that flash drive is probably going to be near my computer when stolen. Also, that flash drive may be active and plugged when the system is running, exposing it to the machine directly. Having that key material easily accessible on a flash drive makes it less protected than using the TPM.

Using the TPM gives me a better experience and depending on how things are handled a far more secure way of handling the key. Its way easier to grab the key file off the flash drive than coaxing it out of the TPM without booting the trusted boot process.

They won't use batteries for grid scale storage, that's a bit too expensive. They'll probably use hydro, some sort of heated mass or compressed air. Or gas, it's much better than coal at least.

Miners and nodes have to be in agreement, when they're not you're right they've essentially fork BTC but I think you're wrong about who really holds the power and which chain would end up being the authoritative one after such an event.
Would a government even want that? Not even from the moral stance, just the strategic point of view. We know from the social media experiment how bad things can go if you hook an entire population to some "product".

Sure, you can make (even though incentives) everyone wear AR glasses (because they're so cool), and they'll censor out undesired things. That's as much a form of control as it is a form of being controlled. Hooking your entire population's vision to the internet means it could possibly be maliciously used by bad actors.
$10k in student loan debts to be cancelled
I definitely agree with you there. But the headline says it makes it "less repairable." If your car manufacturers changes all the bolts on your tires to use specialized tools and require you to read a book to understand it that makes your car less repairable. If they provide those tools and manual that doesn't make your car less repairable than it already was.

My point is the title of this makes no sense.
This is not true--especially when considering different SQL implementations (e.g. Oracle SQL versus Microsoft SQL). NULL and EMPTY handle the intersection of ontic versus epistemic claims.

EMPTY implies a known, 0-byte value whereas NULL can imply either an unknown value or the "unknowability" of a value (i.e. the in-existence of a value).

In practical terms, this would be like equating the statements "I don't know whether that dog has a name" (i.e. a NULL name) and "I do not know the name of that dog" (an EMPTY name). The former does not assert the existence of a proper noun to represent "that dog", whereas the latter implicitly asserts that there exists a proper noun which nominates "that dog".

Assuming you're from India and know well about the job market here,

My comment tries to highlight a very specific issue that using progressively harder leetcode problems selects for people who do leetcode all day, and me trying to focus on CS fundamentals and actual programming was a mistake.

It has nothing to do with me wanting to work in FAANGM or not, or any of the philosophy you wrote.

You wrote that FANGM salaried person will be miserable. You know who will be more miserable? The software engineer who had to settle for a less paying company or startup. The engineer who came from a humble rural background and wanted to leave a mark on the world, but lost to the measure-oriented competition which rewards the cargo cult mentality.

Looking around me, the cargo cult leetcoding kids are more happier, that's probably because they are already from a better background than I am. Doesn't change the fact that if I grinded what it required to game the job market, I would've been at a place better than them.

Doesn't matter you are one of the most gifted athlete, if you're playing the game that doesn't have any prizes.

A relatively simple model that is still a reasonable ballpark. However, throughout the article I was wondering about the effect of transmission efficiencies across Australia. The author addresses transmission at the end by acknowledging that they didn't model it. Not sure how much it matters, but I suspect that lots of wires would be required.
> I now understand that it is an IDE related thing not something fundamental to the language.

No, is fundamental issue to the language!

The relational model is clear. You START with a relation and then compose with relational operators that return relations.

ie:

rel | project

Sql do it weird. Is like in OO, where instead of define a class THEN define the properties, you define the properties THEN define the class.

And this fundamental issue with the language goes deeper. The rules are ad-hoc for each sub-operator despite the fact using relational model MUST make it simply to compose.

So, you have rules for HAVING, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, WHERE, SELECT and so on and none are like the others, are different in small but annoy ways...
