> It's really weird to watch science and science-like ideas grow out of faith and religion

While there are certain events that can be filed under this category, more often than not its the other way around. That is, the ideas come outside the religion, run contradictory until proven unquestionably, and then the religious texts are found to be retroactively always been proving the science that was found later.
I tried to verify the claim. At least for Sweden, their universities still have an acceptance rate, with the highest being 80%, and the next highest being 35%[0]. Denmark's highest acceptance rates are in the upper 70s, low 80s[1].

Yes the acceptance rates are relatively high, but the fact that they have an acceptance rates for their universities suggests that not everyone who wants to go to university can.

The article notes some advantages of being able to use different processes for different wafers, but there's not much more on that. It might be helpful if you wanted different fabs for memory and compute, or for flash type memory. Anyone know what they're getting at here?

There are situations when you really need that, but they mostly involve imagers. The Advanced Scientific Concepts flash LIDAR had a two-chip stack, with the light detectors made with InGaAs technology. The counters and timers were ordinary CMOS. This also shows up in some IR sensors.
I see, have you tried the demo of the tool?

Tried the demo when I first ran across it, seems fine, didn’t notice anything that was questionable.
This is a problem of Stated preference vs. Revealed preference. You ask them what they think and they'd tell you "that's awful, I can't believe that, that's so unfair" but you put them up on the ballot at the midterms and get them to repeal it and all of a sudden it's about being "tough on crime" and "keeping our streets clean".
Woops, thanks for the correction
I never told it to show me short form video of random things not related to my family and friends. I also never reacted to it. The idea that FB is about staying in touch with family, and that it's the best way to do that, is absurd when you look at what FB is today.
Oh there’s plenty of other ways you can ask it.

“Should prisoners pay the price of their stay in prison, including room, board, food and security?”
Yes. Americans are often selfish, savage and cruel. Not all of them, but enough.
>That sounds pretty nefarious to me because the state has a duty of care for its citizens - of which this is a clear and flagrant abdication.

Which part of it constitutes "a clear and flagrant abdication"?

>At the end of the day this is the same thing - the state should be paying less when there's less crime. It should be incentivized to stop crime from happening in the first place.

>It should be spending that money not on guaranteeing profits for corporations but instead on programs that reduce criminality.

This ignores the basic economic reality that the upfront investment needs to be paid somehow. Without it, you end up with too little prison capacity and overcrowded prisons, which is also inhumane. The alternatives aren't much better:

1. if the upfront investment is funded by the taxpayer, and it ends up getting underutilized, the taxpayer is still on the hook for the opportunity cost of the investment

2. if prisons are privatized but without guarantees, the state will need to pay more to make up for the uncertainly, leaving the taxpayers on the hook.
Well, desperation can drive people to all kinds or things, especially if they are ignorant of the consequences.

If he still had a job, and had better AI, perhaps he wouldn't have turned to crime?
I am not sure how you are judging the effectiveness of the prohibition?

With the legalization of marijuana consumption has gone up.

So to say they failed is not fact, very few laws eliminate the act that is illegal. Murder happens despite being illegal, and will continue to.

I would agree the cost is too high, that the policy is wrong, but it is pretty clear the illegality reduces consumption.

We were having a new roof put on house as a part of buying one, and while we wanted white shingles, the only option available was brown.

Circumstances might not be as simple as you you think they are.
Here we have nearly 130 prisons, and could build tens of thousands of houses for the poor on that land. Some of them are in or near desirable cities now, where once the land was considered low grade/flood risk/etc.
I'm 37 and just started my new career after many years of doing computers and programming more or less as a hobby with the odd professional part here and there. I worked in physical security for most of the years after school and I feel like I have wasted a lot of time. In 2020 I decided to take some time to go to school again and ended up taking QA for three semesters. I now work as a developer, QA and part-time project manager. Hopefully I will have a long career in front of me but I fear all the time that it's too late.

23 is a good age to start out, and you had some fun in your teens. You'll be fine.

Solar resource isn't equally distributed, particularly Europe has poor potential: https://globalsolaratlas.info/map

Solar energy isn't the panacea that people make it out to be. Where it is abundant, it makes sense. A lot of places do not have that luxury, yet countries like Germany made foolish investments in solar power which is 10% efficient compared to its full potential in Southwestern USA.
The board I'm on used to only allow in-person votes for various good reasons--though we've since changed this for equally good reasons. I remember there was some contentious episode or other where there was an argument along the lines of that, given the importance and disagreement on this important issue, surely we want to allow phone votes/proxies given "Joe" has some family stuff going on and can't make the meeting (hypothetical scenario). But the bylaws were very clear that only in-person votes counted so it was hard for anyone to make the case that this situation warranted bending the rules.
The official flash cards also are very prone to corruption, especially the larger sized ones. Getting the SD card adapter is practically a requirement.
Both, depends on your plan. Custom messages cost more. My $10/month-ish plan allows unlimited pre-canned, which I use to check in with family “I’m still alive” / “on my way home” type thing. Then I get a certain allocation of custom. Sending GPS waypoints counts as custom IIRC?
Thermogenesis is controlled by the autonomic nervous system (ANS), dysfunction of the ANS is called dysautonomia and it is a central component to Long Covid. There are a variety of medical interventions that are helpful for dysautonomia.
You're certainly not alone, but it was eye-opening as fuck for me getting arrested at 25 and finding out I was about to be charged thousands of dollars for a single night stay in the county jail.
You have sources for this? And I’m not seeing the connection of how many are in restaurant to unsafe areas and real estate crime stat overviews.

Refurbishment already happens. If you drop you get a replacement iPhone there's a decent chance it's a refurbished phone and not just a produced-for-replacement phone. Apple doesn't just toss a broken phone in a wood chipper. Same with most manufacturers. But that's the whole item and not logic boards and such.

A whole board needs to be pretty valuable to replace a 2¢ part because the technician's time is expensive. A 2¢ part that takes an hour to replace and test is $40-50 in skilled technician labor. That assumes you know exactly what 2¢ part needs to be replaced. Every technician hour adds a premium onto a refurbished board. Even a skilled technician can also screw up a repair so the rate of failed repairs also adds a premium. As does shipping and storage on the repaired units.

If you design boards to be more easily be repaired by a technician you're adding test leads and headers that cost money and take up space. In a phone that eats into your envelope budget meaning a smaller battery, a larger device, or tighter thermals. Anymore the same is true for laptops.

Even stuff like the Framework laptop doesn't envision people replacing surface mount ICs. They design around LRUs and have people send back old parts to refurbish or recycle.

There's not really any 2¢ parts for smartphones and laptops. There's $100.02 parts including all the expenses. So the part needs to be well over $100.02 in value to the manufacturer to make it worthwhile for them to refurbish it rather than just replace it and recycle the broken unit. A consumer isn't going to spend $100 to fix a $200 phone. They're better off spending $100 on a used replacement and sending the broken device to be recycled.
> For-profit prisons with state minimum occupancy clauses.

That kind of clause is common for a supply contract (e.g., Buyer promises to purchase goods/services from supplier, minimum order of X units per year.). If a state purchased more units from a prison service provider than it needed, then I can imagine that state trying to re-sell the services to a neighboring state, but I can’t imagine them locking up more people so that they don’t have to pay for unused services. If that happens then a state should just negotiate its contracts differently in the future.

The other stuff I agree with you on.

> Technical Product Management @ AWS

Thank you for your reply. However, I must respectfully disagree. Even in your hypothetical startup example, we should default to do not charge people until they flip a switch saying they are in production. I know it doesn't matter to you right now because AWS has so much demand but I think in terms of developer experience (DX), it would be really nice if we could rely on some kind of a sandbox. Even Microsoft Azure has Visual Studio subscription, which has a cap. Please consider adding this option.
It shows that the difference in efficiency of doing a custom ASIC at Youtube scale saves more money that what's required to design and manufacture their custom chip. But this is different from the trend cost per transistor (particularly for smaller players!).

And actually, this is the case because new processes efficiency gains are lower than in the past. It's something that's been said before (and I read about it on HN, it was just years back and I don't have the reference at hand now ;), but when process improvements were fast making a custom ASIC didn't really make sense: by the time the ASIC was designed and debugged and deployed, a few years were spent and a recent CPU was nearly as good as the custom ASIC for no risk and less effort.

Doing an ASIC is hard and takes time, and having a slower pace of improvement for new nodes efficiency makes it easier to justify the long deployment. There is now time to use such an ASIC with a noticeable gain, and absorb the cost and gain. Still, this is for a Youtube or Google (TPU) or Amazon (Graviton) or Apple. You need this scale still to absorb the development cost.

I finished it now. It did not get any better. Most of his arguments can be boiled down to "science can't explain that so it must be god". No.

Towards the end he shows a lack of understanding of statistics. He claims if any infinitesmally small change to the laws of nature would have caused an uninhabitable universe then it must have been specifically designed the way it is. He brings several examples that actually are all the exact same argument.

The mistake here is that he assumes that there was only one random try at creating this universe and that we cannot have been sooo extremely lucky. There is no reason to believe that there was only one try. What if there were a large number of tries? If all the other tries resulted in uninhabitable universes then of course us being in the lucky version must make us think this was not random chance.

Example: ask a large number of people to flip a coin ten times. Eventually you will reach someone that actually flipped ten times heads in succession. What would that guy think? Clearly that's not a normal coin and you designed the whole thing to be like that because what are the odds of him flipping ten times heads? He does not know about the other thousand people you had play this game that didn't get ten times heads.

Biden’s mentioned a few goals in the past (while campaigning, and during his term):

- federal government covers 2 years of community college for every citizen

- federal government covers 75% of tuition for in-state college if the states pick up the other 25%.

i’d say both of these are publicly funding higher ed. i assume they were too large to tackle politically in one go. i’d guess we’ll see a more meandering path toward that goal. maybe this takes 30 years. maybe this parallels Obamacare. i wish the incremental changes were less messy, but US politics just isn’t ever that clean.

I'll have to read that. I seem to remember the page having orange elements like HN's, and the language rankings were displayed in tables. I thought it was a really good idea, although I have no idea when or how the initial survey was conducted. The ranking was pretty comprehensive both in the range of questions and the number of languages (although you'd have to wonder how many respondents had any experience with languages like Io or Oz.)

Ask HN: What service can my company use for background, credit, eviction report?
Looking for a service that may be suitable for assessing tenants and landlords in bulk. For tenants I want to find eviction and credit report, and for both landlord and tenant I want to run criminal background check.

Preferably something which offers an API, such as Checkr. Unfortunately it seems Checkr is suitable more for running these checks on candidates/employees.

I looked at CIC reports (which it seems Zillow uses), but I will have to contact them to see how their service works in bulk.

Does anyone know any other companies which offer this kind of service?
I think the most intuitive explanation I've seen for c is that in fact everything always moves at a fixed speed, c, in space-time - either through space or through time (from past to future). You can neither increase nor decrease your total speed, you can only change its direction - the larger the space-only component is, the smaller the time component is.

Additionally, mass deforms space-time such that a little bit of your motion towards the future is directed to the center of mass instead.
At some point American has to shut down this horrible failed experiment with mass incarceration. I feel like I'm watching the end stages of it where they try to make it as absurd as possible and get the last bit of cash out of everyone. I sincerely hope this whole system collapses soon.
It's almost like burdening people who have been to prison with immense debt makes them *more* likely to end up back in prison; allowing them work, learn and improve skills, and save up some money for getting back on their feet makes them *less* likely to end up back in prison. Who would've thought?!

It almost seems like someone wants people in prison, as if someone is profiting off of it or something. Hmmmm....

It is intellectually dishonest to say drug prohibition can work in the United States. It has been tried and has failed comprehensively and over multiple generations.

You are making a very different argument - that if the US was an entirely different type of society with a different government, culture and history, then this approach might work.
*ålredi.
"supposed to be" is perhaps not quite the wording I would use.

My understanding is that these kinds of materialist explanations are out of favour because they have some genuine shortcomings: 1) they are largely untestable/unfalsifiable, so they veer into pseudo-science, 2) they have a tendency to cherry pick data, and 3) related to the second point, they tend to ignore the importance of the precise historical context (e.g. whether a certain king is particularly ambitious or not, could in certain cases shape the history of a region for decades or centuries to come - this is difficult to accommodate in more systemic theories).
Only 4.5% of US inmates are in prison for drug possession. I do wonder what the rate is for other countries.

Shocking that 55% of inmates are in for violent crimes such as murder, rape, and manslaughter.

>> At one time, Walmart and Microsoft were considered by some to be "natural monopolies".

Natural monopoly:

"A natural monopoly is a monopoly in an industry in which high infrastructural costs and other barriers to entry relative to the size of the market give the largest supplier in an industry, often the first supplier in a market, an overwhelming advantage over potential competitors"

I don’t understand how you can compare murder with drug use (or even selling drugs). Nobody says “let me try murder today and see if I like it” but plenty of people say (and do) “let me try drugs for fun today and see if I like it”.
