Your "just a pointer" links already exists in a lot of places and you won't be able to update them all. In a few days who knows who will buy the domain and what will become of it, and where all these already existing links will point to.
some registrars let you keep a balance, so even if you can't pay in advance, you can load up your account balance so instead of trying to bill your card it just deducts your balance. Idk why godaddy wouldn't have this so I assume he just didn't keep an account balance.
I suppose the issue is that the only real way of doing that is to write as much random garbage as the drive supports and then verify that you can read it all back again. That should probably be a thing, but it would be incredibly slow and waste your limited write cycles.

The combination of regulations and buying from reputable sellers should be enough IMO... though most people would probably view Walmart as a reputable seller, so that clearly doesn't work.

It's 2% of a semitone off by my understanding. I thought I had pretty good ears but I really doubt I could pick that. Open strings do often stick out in general on string instruments though, for a combination of reasons, lack of vibrato and ability to micro-adjust tuning presumably being the main ones (but even the tone is different, I assume based on the difference between having one end fixed by a soft fleshy substance vs the wooden nut).
I wonder what it will take for people to start leaving the state. And it's going to be the wealthy who leave first.

>El Salvador’s politics were dominated by two parties rooted in the Cold War: One was the conservative ARENA party, which has its origins in U.S.-backed death squads

Not exactly. ARENA was never the same organization as death squads. There may have been some people who simpathized with both or were member with both. But ARENA never had an armed branch.

In contrast, the armed guerrilla though, was actually converted to a political party as part of the peace traty. This was actually something very remarkable that has not happend often in the world. In which an armed resistance is converted to a party. Switching from bullets to ballots. Something quite remarkable actually :)
I think you are conflating knowledge with being "smart"/intelligent.

"This essay, which I am about to record as an audiobook […], and will thereafter upload to ACX as a self-published, free audiobook."

Doctorow seems to have intended to release this audiobook on Audible for free. However, when I look it up on Audible's website, it is on sale for a regular price of £3.69 (or £3.23 / one credit for Audible members). I wonder why this is.

This is not a criticism of Doctorow; I think he probably doesn't expect people to actually pay for it, and he's released a DRM-free copy, free of charge.

I wonder if this is something that Audible enforces (i.e. they do not normally allow audiobooks to be available free of charge). I have seen some audiobooks available free of charge on Audible, but perhaps those are the exception rather than the rule.

That just means the video conferencing software isn't set up right. Millions of teens use mechanical keyboards every day while talking to each other over the internet, all without transmitting the clicks. Anyways, you can still tell the other conferencee to either calibrate his voice activation or change his keyboard.

For context, Tyler Cowen, the person quoted, would like to be an "information trillionaire". He consumes a lot of information and gives good interviews with people who specialize in a wide variety of subjects. He's able to delve deep into many topics as well. I agree with you though, I think some people fall into the trap of focusing on breadth and assuming that depth is inefficient or time wasted.
The 3-legged stance was interesting, I wonder why they do it. One idea that I had was that it could make detecting if you're in air already more consistent than with 4 legs. Or maybe the surface tension at these scales is so high that it pays of to reduce it by 25% before the flight by these strange poses?
Sure you can, just allow for sticking the things you want to track against at the end like you did after saying "2nd of March 2056, 15:00". If that's leap seconds then there is no reason you can't say "<future timestamp> with leap second changes" just the same as you did there with a datetime. What you can do with a timestamp is a superset of what you can do with a datetime since you start with fewer limitations but lose none of the ability to apply or mark needed transformations to that base:

Guarantees about <future date> UTC:

- Can calculate duration from past to <future date>: No (need future leap second table)

- Can calculate duration from now to <future date>: No (need future leap second table)

- Can calculate duration from future to <future date>: No (need future leap second table)

- Can compare <future date> to <future date>: No (UTC is not monotonic)

- Can know if <future date> is unique: No (UTC is not monotonic)

- Can determine <future date> has passed: After passing

- Can determine <future date> will occur: After passing (time skip adjustments and whole date skips allowed in calendar)

Guarantees about <future date> timestamp:

- Can calculate duration from past to <future date>: Yes

- Can calculate duration from now to <future date>: Yes

- Can calculate duration from future to <future date>: Yes

- Can compare <future date> to <future date>: Yes

- Can know if <future date> is unique: Yes

- Can determine <future date> has passed: Yes

- Can determine <future date> will occur: Yes

Once you add "accounting for leap seconds" to the timestamp all but "Can determine <future date> will occur" will match up. UTC didn't gain anything over timestamps in that case the difference between the two just shrunk.

While you may be able to say "I know what the UTC encoding will look like ahead of time if I specify it in UTC encoding" that doesn't actually give you any more information about the time as you can't do anything functional with that knowledge until the time passes at which point, provided the same info you had to accurately track the UTC time, you have enough information to do the same with a timestamp.

Ah you are right, the current categorization as a textMarkup isn't quite a great fit and the ontology in PLDB can be improved. I'm linking your comment to a related issue that I hope to address this week. https://github.com/breck7/pldb/issues/39
Not everyone wants all the information and with many business plans, knowing the full version might be confusing to people working on today's stuff.

I advocate balancing full transparency (I certainly don't mean to hide any info!) with a culture that can create a time and place for conversations that might go beyond today's work.

> Richard Stallman’s personal philosophy does not define the goals of open source.

Richard Stallman has nothing do do with open source, and Free software was defined as Richard Stallman's personal philosophy, take it or leave it. He hasn't changed it.

I'm a complete free software advocate, but definitely only for Stallman's reasons. I have no urge to give free things to computer programmers. If I'm going to give away free stuff, I'll give to the poor. I don't have any special sympathy towards the needy computer programmer just because they share my hobby/vocation.
I want to switch devices, install the app, put in my password and have all my codes sync'd into the app directly. I don't want to bother with scanning 50+ accounts (I use 2fa for everything), by hand in the name of pseudo security. After 2+ years, that feature should be fixed.

In a dry year agriculture uses as much as 50% of all water, urban use ranges between 8-13%.

Agriculture is effectively unrestricted by law in their water use. I think we may be targeting the wrong group
Mentioned in TFA, the GRIM test for checking a paper’s reported mean of integers:

“””
The GRIM test is straightforward to perform. For each reported mean in a paper, the sample size (N) is found, and all fractions with denominator N are calculated. The mean is then checked against this list (being aware of the fact that values may be rounded inconsistently: depending on the context, a mean of 1.125 may be reported as 1.12 or 1.13). If the mean is not in this list, it is highlighted as mathematically impossible.[2][3]

I thought that the problem was the web3 people pretending to build decentralised services while in fact they're relying on a convicted criminal to renew a domain?
Items have to do what they’re supposed to. So for example you can’t sell a “TV” that doesn’t do ‘TV stuff.’ Here’s one description of that law, from Investopedia:

> The law automatically provides the second type of warranty, the implied warranty. Implied warranties are a part of all retail sales of new and used consumer goods. The retailer of an item implies that the item will work properly and be of average grade and quality, as long as it is used for the purpose it was sold. For example, a refrigerator will keep stuff cool as long as you are not trying to cool the entire room, and a blender will blend as long as you are not blending rocks.

If you’re selling a “30 TB Portable SSD” it has to store 30 TB of data, be portable, actually be an SSD, etc.
I don't care if Amazon keeps doing it, but please give me an option in the settings to hide all third-party sellers.
Ignoring the unreliability and lack of esc key, I liked the tiny travel on the 2016-2018 MBPs, but I didn't like how crowded the keys were. In fact that part seemed objectively bad: The surface area they added does nothing but increase the chance of mistyping, since any reasonably-sized finger hitting the edge of those keys would hit an adjacent key too.
I'm not saying Twitter is in the right here, but I'm not convinced by the article that Twitter is meaningfully increasing the danger to the OP. Is a corrupt government really going to avoid kidnapping/torturing someone because they're popular on Twitter?
Moderation is already localised by language. It's not such a stretch to extend this to some basic regional knowledge.
Why would you argue? Selecting only the successes is the literal definition of cherry-picking. I'd say that every one of those cherries is very arguable, though, especially if one's definition of successful has any relation to being profitable.
> his knowledge went deeper than you could explore with mere discussion.

Another principle of mine: There are no oracles. There is no individual, past, present, or future, who cannot be surpassed. No one is a knowledge god. If I learned everything Justin knew, and that wouldn't be too difficult, I imagine, then I, too, could gain a level of knowledge that goes deeper than one could explore with mere discussion, according to you.
I have changed the license to MIT. Sorry for the wrong impression.

This is the most ridicolous thing I've read in a decade on HN. Congrats I guess?

You can readily go and verify a lot of claims of science and I gave you an example in another comment. What claims about god can I go and verify? I'm eager to try.

Specifically small agriculture too. Most investment is in huge farms, very little investment in making small agriculture (think less than 10 acres) more affordable and accessible. Most of this is policy problems in the US, but globally its also a problem.
including multiple methods for the user to detune oscillators is quite common on modern synthesizers, advanced or otherwise. it’s almost never a fixed amount of detuning.

one of those methods is called a “chorus” effect. this is extremely common across effect platforms and is not limited to synthesizers / keyboard-type instruments.
I rarely find the "people will be confused by full transparency" line very convincing. To me it seems like there is some other, unstated reason to be less transparent - because confusion is easily remedied by prioritizing certain information while making the rest just accessible if someone wants to look.
Sounds helpful. Does it still download the whole image and run it, or is it using some other method for fetching the data?

> I don't think Twitter can be used to promote change. Or get your voice to the masses.

To me, both the effects of and responses to Mr. Ahmed's tweets seem to show that Twitter can be used to promote change and get your voice to the masses. It just doesn't distinguish between "good" change/voices and "bad" change/voices.
The obvious solution here is to have a tiered pricing system for water, where the price per gallon increases with consumption.

Increase the price of the higher tiers and/or rate of increase until consumption drops to level you need.

And then you don’t need to pay government employees to drive around and inspect celebrity lawns all day.
Got it, if you're open to feedback: in the future, a few more words of explanation about the reasoning in the readme will be appreciated by folks and go a long way in making it clear you are reasonable and thoughtful person.

> digital flea market

A great way of describing it. You can't trust any large online retailer these days. Every top result on Amazon is from a brand with random letters that has no accountability. Even Etsy is filled with tons of "Verified handmade" items that are obviously mass produced products from Alibaba/AliExpress (they don't even bother to use different pictures than the original listing). I ordered something off Wayfair this week and what I got was totally lower quality than the pictures.
I agree.

Most of them yes. Some at 10pm. In Silicon Valley, even 8:30pm is sorta common, but that's for a different reason.

"Basically" is doing a lot of work in that sentence:

> In September, Griffith pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to violate international sanctions against North Korea. Griffith was arrested in November 2019 after giving a talk at a cryptocurrency conference in Pyongyang in April of that year.

> “What you see here is an intentionality…and a desire to educate people on how to evade sanctions,” [U.S. District Judge Kevin] Castel said.

> Judge Castel read a series of text messages and emails from Griffith in which the defendant admits to sharing information with North Korea for the express purpose of helping the repressive Kim regime evade sanctions.

> What the judge found most damning, perhaps, was a photo of Griffith presenting at the conference, wearing a traditional North Korean suit and standing in front of a blackboard on which it read “No sanctions!” with a smiley face.

If you can afford $1m/y in payroll, you're not small :)

> Should I share info on upcoming behind-the-scenes partnerships, etc with employees to pump them up? Or is giving too much information counterproductive/risky if an employee leaves?

The kind of person who needs "full transparency" that these Internet randos are advocating isn't going to be working very hard. You can't afford to blow $1m/y on people who use Twitter. That said, don't conflate "full transparency" with having meaningful direction and vision, and rising above the fray of agile development.
Well, such things can be subjective. Yes, Odin does not do concurrency and channels. This appears to be because Odin doesn't do automatic memory management, and has more limits on the language, in terms of focus. It can be argued that Odin adapted itself to being a strong Jai alternative and appealing to gaming, versus more general purpose.

My understanding is that Odin does not plan to ever attempt to put concurrency nor channels into the language. It looks like that some type of workaround, if it ever happens, will have to be implemented by a 3rd party library.

It should be added, Vlang (the other Go alternative mentioned) because it was designed for various memory management options (both automatic and manual), does do concurrency and channels (https://github.com/vlang/v/blob/master/doc/docs.md#concurren...). Vlang aims to be more general purpose versus more specific.
I prefer kebab-case but it’s apparently too much to ask for in infix languages because most of them insist on allowing expressions like `a+b-c`.

Just to add to this, you also need an agricultural revolution to go with the industrial revolution, otherwise the first would just not get off the ground. More exactly, you need to be able to feed more and more urban people (who presumably work in industry) using less and less rural people (who presumably work in agriculture). England also had a mini-agricultural revolution accompanying its first industrial revolution, that’s why the gentleman farmer had become a thing.

If you don’t have that you risk your industry thing to not take off, because living in the town/city is too expensive because of the lack of food or because of its high relative costs, or you might try and do what Stalin did when he industrialized the USSR in the 1930s, that is force millions of peasants to die of hunger in order to feed the city folk.
Diminishing returns for sure. I usually bike leisurely to work cause I don't want to show up sweaty, and it's not a whole lot slower. I only bike fast if I want to get fit.

> That doesn’t sound right.

It doesn't sound right indeed because it should read "it is," not "it isn't." Regardless, "something sounding too good to be true" is how you determine that tech innovation has happened. The Retina screen sounded too good to be true back in 2012; the M1 sounded too good to be true; etc.
I believe their point is that Twitter should delete or flag the accounts that are spreading false information about him (the journalist).
Volume keys on the top right? :)
Agriculture is also a small portion of the state’s GDP and we could do without some of the most water-intensive crops, such as almonds. There won’t be food insecurity or famine if we cut back on almonds.
That's totally valid! I don't have an opinion either way. I've heard people complain about yaml before and now seeing a strong reaction to another custom format I was curious to see what people would propose.

It would seem however from the responses I've been getting, that though YAML can be difficult or messy it's still better than another custom format.
least Twitter can do is sensitize their moderators, or at least a subset of them, about local issues, maybe not to the level of making them regional experts, but enough so that they can tell a truth from a lie, a dangerous maligning campaign vs a fair critique. I dont think that is a hard problem.

Sad to say, but people often [want|need|expect] a corporation to act as a [competent|reliable|trustworthy] [government|law-enforcement agency|court].
