>Correct. Your comment is qualitative handwaving, an armchair speculation that sounds plausible.

As the saying goes, what is asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. You rag on people for doing "qualitative handwaving" and "armchair speculation", yet you make the claim of "There is no way an adblocker accurately identifies price sensitivity" with nothing but "qualitative handwaving" and "armchair speculation".

>Is that enough justification to pend off eventual discrimination lawsuits? I personally doubt it.

Obviously nothing can fend off "eventual discrimination lawsuits", because anyone can sue for any reason. That said, I find it really a reach to say that discriminating based on ad-blocker status would be construed as discrimination against a protected class in a court of law.

> Very few companies have the analytics maturity to use A/B testing in production to prove your hand-waving assertion without the effect failing sensitivity checks.

Right, that's why I said it was plausible, not that it was a rigorously proven theory.
Right. It opens in 1854 discussing the prelude to what would be the first successful petroleum well in the U.S. at Oil Creek, near Titusville, PA, by Col. Edwin Drake, completed in 1869.

Europe had already been drilling and refining oil in Silesia for a decade or more by the time of Drake's well.
Nor should it.
Funny thing to say when US-based services are being challenged in the EU because the US government is, in fact, not trusted with EU citizens data.
My cold sores are rare and rarely break the skin; I would never take something systemic rather than topical (and weak, Abreva is also a food additive) to control them. The only time they've ever been this bad was covid. I've had 1000 colds and flus over the past half-century, so I do have a basis for comparison.
Again, the point isn't that there's nothing left to learn. There's plenty to learn, and plenty to explore, and the whole field of applying computational methods of all sorts to music is a treasure trove waiting to be explored.

What I'm saying is that the situation with Go was completely different. The Go community was utterly convinced that the state of the art was within a couple stones of the hand of god, and Alpha Go thoroughly disabused them of that notion. The status quo was completely shattered, and the community's understanding of the game as a whole was completely upended. It's entirely fair to describe the situation as "and then AlphaGo appeared and dismissed all this"

The situation in music is very different. Ethnomusicology has been a thing since the mid-20th century, and musicology in general has swung away from prescriptivism and more towards descriptivism. There can be no earth-shattering revelations here, not because our current understanding of music is unassailable, but simply because there is no earth to shatter to begin with. AI-drive computational music might produce some innovative work around how we understand pitch and tunings, but that work won't dismiss our current understanding of those things, it'll sit alongside it.

Ok, this is fairly long winded, but the point is that I take issue with the "dismiss" part of it all, I guess.
I find it pretty amazing the utter lack of interest or outright cynicism about this by the HN crowd because potential future rockets may be (even very possibly will be) better. Sure, let's put all the eggs in the SpaceX basket. What could possibly go wrong? There's a lot of money being thrown around these days. It's not clear having a couple of alternate paths is the worst idea.
Definitively not.
>Whatever the strength of your scroll, you are going to be shown the next video TikTok selected for you, one by one — or keep moving your finger to actively scroll up after each video begins. They are in control of what you see, not you

I mean this is just plain wrong given that TikTok has a search function. In fact this seems to work so well for young people that apparently half of Gen Z is now using TikTok as a replacement for Google[1].

>TikTok is newer and much less scrutinized than Facebook and Google

TikTok barely escaped being forced to sell off or open up their codebase to inspection by authorities for what was essentially just nationalistic paranoia. Anything said in this piece applies to American domestic companies. the article follows the typical style of "throw enough shit and hope that some of it sticks" together with spurious assumptions about what, why or how people use the app or get out of it.

>TikTok is not a suitable place for content that is purely informative or educational, that follows a normal learning pace,

well no shit because it's not a replacement for school, it's a short form video app. That's not a crime. There's honestly a decent amount of educational stuff and people do use it for that purpose. This goes for criticism of Facebook and Instagram as well by the way, these are tools, not replacements for parenting or education and it's the parents job, not the companies to see that children use them appropriately.

Count me as a Zodiac reader. I grew up in the era where falling into the Charles River bought you a tetanus shot, and the opening scene is in an industrial corridor I used to explore. I also liked Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon and thought the Baroque cycle was a bold achievement, tying science and credit and warfare together. I haven’t invested in his later work enough to have an opinion, but he must have a lot of pages left in him - I hope he keep going and give us another good yarn with an ending.
Do any of these articles actually look at the Delta V and associated costs of putting this stuff into a useful orbit? Or how valuable the stuff is parked in orbit vs. at the bottom of the gravity well?
I would argue that the specialization you’re referring to is what causes very many early stage startups to fail. Before you’ve found product market fit, you need everyone to be thinking about the whole product, even if they’re not working on the whole product.

Also, give “Range” a read. It’s a fantastic book and may help change your mind.
That doesn’t distract from the fact that many that have the opportunity chose not seek or continue higher education. This is especially true post collage.
Powerpoint is such an enormous force it has collapsed in on itself into a blackhole that tunneled through space and time. Powerpoint is slowly leaking into the past and destroying our history before our very eyes.
The interesting detail:-

"But the bigger benefit, he said, would be if this method spurs car companies to make electric vehicles with smaller batteries, since they’d now have batteries that could be charged quicker and allow consumers to feel less worried about stopping periodically to get a quick recharge."

So, having ubiquitous 100kW-plus chargers is on the critical path for this. Invest in wire makers and trenching companies.
"I’ve spent some amount of time in Saudi Arabia and they don’t have a lot of water there for them to use."

Interestingly, I have as well. They're having to desalinate water for growth just like we are planning to do.

"Fair enough, pay them more than the utility they currently derive from their usage and everyone walks away happy campers. "

Purchasing the farms with water rights is a very reasonable path forward, actually. It would be cheaper to buy farms and shut them down than to build the water conservation initiatives California's currently engaged in.

The problem is political. CA leaders don't actually want to solve the water crisis - they want to grandstand.

"I also take issue with the term “our water” like you have some “manifest destiny” to seize someone else’s property rights because you feel you are more entitled to it than the current legal owner. "

The state does have this power, as a matter of fact. So there you go, the perspective is reality based.

> How do large numbers of people suddenly come to adopt the same view on an issue that, until recently, no one cared about.

Still true in the current regime. I remember that about 2 days after Russia's invasion of Ukraine, all my Russian acquaintances, who didn't know each other, respond with "what about Yugoslavia?!"[1] to my inquiries. Yugoslavia? Most of these people are too young to remember Yugoslavia, but I guess that's what Russian media told them to think.

Btw this phenomenon is not exclusive of Russia either. The USA also has a lot of it, unfortunately.

[1] NATO bombed Belgrade when Serbia threatened with ethnic cleaning in Kosovo. The rationale being that if NATO bombed someone then it's ok for Russia to invade and bomb Ukraine, I guess...?
I like to call it "The War On Americans (who use drugs.)"
>I can see how a court

Wild and unbased speculation. In fact, there have been lawsuits around de-platforming that haven't gone well for the plaintiff - I can't imagine a more cut and dry scenario would make it easier :)

>Sure there is a technical distinction in the WHOIS

Now you're getting it.
Meantone is a modification of three-limit just intonation to try to better approximate the thirds from five-limit just intonation. I know that it is historically inaccurate to say that meantone follows from five-limit, but in order to understand the point of meantone's existence, you have to know about five-limit as the standard that meantone is aiming for. I should probably rephrase my post to say that meantone follows logically from five-limit, not that it follows historically.

All humans (and some monkeys) can detect octaves, but that does not mean that all humans consider octaves to be equivalent. That's a culturally specific convention. It's a very widespread convention thanks to Europe's wide cultural reach, but it's very much not a universal one.

Split keys may have been common for a while, but I think we can agree that in the long term, they did not catch on.
>I doubt AppKit, UIKit or any of the predecessors were in a bad state for three whole years after their launch

I was there for Cocoa development in Mac OS X 10.3. AppKit was not mature. I wasn't there but have heard it was less mature in '91 3 years into NextSTEP.
I used to get more outbreaks when I was in a worse physical shape (overweight, little exercise). Then it was maybe one every 2 months. Now I'm in the normal BMI range and I exercise regularly (albeit not to a high level) and my outbreaks are 2 times a year.

Valaciclovir definitely helps, but one's own immune system plays a huge role. After all, most people in the world have that virus, few actually get outbreaks.
Yandex is also biased (in a different manner).
The only point I am bit skeptical is that large language models are just not able to run on consumer hardware so the point with OpenAI is a bit moot.

Wouldn't that be known by now given that nutrient deficiencies should probably be part of a standard test for long-covid patients?
In my experience, macros in lisp codebases are mainly abstracting away common boilerplate patterns. Common Lisp has WITH-OPEN-FILE to open a file and make sure it closes if the stack unwinds. This is a macro based on the UNWIND-PROTECT primitive, which ensures execution of a form if the stack unwinds. Many projects will have various with-foo macros to express this pattern for arbitray things that are useful in the context of that project(though not all with- macros need UNWIND-PROTECT). Another example is custom loops that happen over and over.

Let's say I'm writing a chess engine. I regularly want to iterate over the legal moves in a position. So I might make a macro so I can write
(do-moves (mv pos) ...)

I find that because doing this is so simple, well written lisp codebases tend to be pretty easy to read. There's less of that learning curve in a new codebase of getting used to the codebase's particular boilerplate rituals, and learning to pick out the code that's interesting. In a good lisp codebase all the ritual is hidden away in self-documenting macros.

Of course this can get taken too far and then it becomes nightmarish to understand the codebase because so much stuff is in various complex macros that it's hard to tell where the shit goes down.
Not really. If you have enough payload to LEO you can also throw something to TLI, just less. All commercial rockets like Falcon 9 or Atlas 5 can throw lots of payload to the moon as well. Even tiny rockets like Rocket Lab Electron have launched moon missions.

Now what is true that the further out you go, a hydrogen RL-10 based upper stage will win out better then a Falcon 9 based kerlox upper stage.

So while the payload to LEO between rockets can be pretty close, the payload to a moon orbit can be quite different.
No, leafs is incorrect. I'm not sure what you are trying to tell me with your link, it supports what I said as far as I can see.

Leaves- The plural of leaf, or to depart

Leafs- A verb meaning to rapidly turn pages while skimming for content.

When to Use Leafs

You will use the word leafs on one occasion.

As a verb, you can say that someone is leafing through
a magazine, while as a noun, a single piece of paper is
a leaf. Leafs is the present tense term for searching
through a book or other collections of paper.

That is the completely different meaning I referred to. And it does not have the plural of leaf as a second meaning.

> But leaves has a second meaning which makes it ambiguous.

It is unambiguous in that sentence structure where it clearly must be a noun. Even if it was ambiguous here, using leafs would still be wrong.
Jingoism. "Facebook may algorithmically subvert the foundations of society and democracy, but at least it's being done by a state I support."

> 2020 pandemonium about TikTok being a national security threat looks increasingly like a power play.. dire warnings, and even the threat to completely shut down its platform, subsided only after TikTok began appointing Western officials to important positions within its organization, thereby giving the state considerable influence over the content and direction of the app.

Reliance.

Mutual dependency in a small business, or depending on a critical component, is a kind of risk that's mitigated with sharing, both first-order (knowing) and second order (knowing you'll know when you need to know).

It's the same for technology development as for partnerships or funding. If a partnership or technology is not really key to the mutual reliance, there's no big driver for sharing. If sharing would create more uncertainty than silence, that's a blocker.

I find it comes down to scheduling when to address an issue. When trouble is brewing, I try to ensure people have the skills and background they need before I bring things to a boil (or it boils over on its own).

My goal is to have people face an issue, manage it properly, and move on. After lots of battles like this, even if we lose, we still know we're in it together, we'll be ready to face things as they come, and it's be ok, even if we lose one or two.

The solution to the uncertainties of mutual reliance is experience in the trenches together -- particularly scaling focus, effort, and alignment (only) as needed.
I thought the opposite - the underground city was the highlight of my trip to Turkey! Being down where people have walked for thousands of years, imagining the living conditions and what would make people do such a thing (e.g. retreat for decades to hide from an occupying force), was incredible. Sure, visually it's just holes in rocks - but so are a lot of other things worth seeing too.
> None of the Falcon rockets can really meet the program goals of SLS.

This is not accurate even according to the NASA administrators in the past. Falcon Heavy should be able to meet the vast majority of the goals if not all; many of which were arbitrarily defined to only fit SLS anyway.

Personal tips that helped me at least for increasing engagement.

- Maintain a fixed number of max projects in parallel: 3 is my number. When I reach that number, any time I'm tempted to desist on working on any of the projects I have ONLY the possibility of retake any of the group. Of course you still can have unfinished projects but a restricted set of real active projects make you to assume a conscious decisions in contrast with a more involuntary notion that let you think you can retake work on an unlimited number of projects anytime you want (something that almost never happen)

- Less time in perfect: common procrastination is about looking for the perfect design, the perfect stack, the perfect name. Making an effort on identifying and reducing the time you take on this kind of activities helps because you necessarily are going to do real progress in projects. This is particular important later when you realize how working and deliverying your projects make you more confident than just "thinking" on them.

- Involve more people: once the motivation is shared is easier to try to get the projects in a more completed state. Specially when that people is out of your area of expertise. Commonly those first hours of focused and greateful work is spend on things you enjoy doing, once you accumulate a couple of boring tasks, your motivation lose traction. Having people out of your speciality sometimes can unblock/help or directly work on that not interesting activities.

- Close the idea factory: sometimes as serial makers/thinkers the born of a new idea is celebrated and usually that means that a new project is comming. Dont let new ideas to replace the older ones. It doesnt mean that you simply stop thinking in those new ideas that suddenly came to your mind, it means that you need to control the response of those stimules. You can write down on a note book, take a couple of minutes to think in that prospect but you cannot allow that new ideas to replace the more mature and already materialized. It's the most difficult step but is a good training for other useful learnings about let things go.
Lol. You think people suffering from chronic illnesses aren't trying every supplement cocktail in existence? "Just take zinc to cure long covid" is just as bad as thinking that fruit juice will cure your cancer.

Falcon Heavy (existing SpaceX rocket, not human rated) can get a ship to above the moon and back today, but probably not within enough margin to land on the moon in one launch. Making a lander which launches on top of it would require substantial development work anyways, so not really close (and not planned).

Starship is a SpaceX rocket reasonably late in the development cycle, and is planned to land on the moon in an uncrewed demonstration flight no earlier than 2024, and with people during NASA's Artemis 3 mission no earlier than 2025. According to the plan this will be the first mission to land people on the moon since Apollo.

SLS at this point is not planning on launching a vehicle that lands on the moon, instead just a very very expensive taxi to a starship in lunar orbit which could have easily carried the astronauts there itself...

Are you suggesting the same dollars per gallon? Because I callus also see a reasonable argument to charge for water in percentage or person that per gallon. As the article mentions, some people are perfectly happy to pay more money. Which’d be fine if there was a guaranteed supply with enough for everyone. But that’s not how the water supply in CA is today. Poor people should not die of dehydration just because rich people want lawns and pools.

My wife and I are originally from Denver, we both grew up there and went to University the state before moving on to live in NYC and now SF.

All of the negatives you mention are really negatives about the people that live currently live there, not the geographic location itself.

The Denver of 20 years ago didn't have those things, one could buy a nice home within 30 minutes of your work for 200k, good schools and medicine, not terrible weather.

It's since been Californicated, and now my wife and I live in SF for a similar coat of living ad it would cost to live in one of the hipper neighborhoods of Denver. I agree, that changes the math, it's why we live here.

The Denver metro area of 20+ years ago was a hidden gem. You could really buy a very nice home as an average income earner, it was idyllic.
