The traditional solution of the US government to prevent this was to make you pay thousands of dollars to do it. So much that Germany, which normally doesn't allow dual citizenship, would make an exception on the basis that it was financially impossible for low earners.

They've now come up with an even better solution, which is to force you to go to an in person appointment, but also to ban you from doing so due to covid. Problem solved!
If you enjoy something it is not wasted time. Listening to speakers like this and engaging in communities like this can cause negative feedback loops. Don't be frustrated about it. Just realized you are normal and a human being with your own unique circumstances. Don't judge yourself based on the backgrounds and privileges of others. If you have an interest in something meet new people and see if you can explore interests together. Sadly our current world doesn't allow for people to be able to do this outside exclusive groups. To say the least don't feel down about your situation. If you weren't part of these groups originally the likelyhood of you joining them is low. We as humans naturally tend to exclude newcomers.
Am I missing something, or does the price still not seem that high in USD? I'm used to paying like $.15 per kWh which is half roughly of the prices in Europe? It's big but... Idk
I think the ratio of babble to sound reasoning is much better in science than in religion. That being said, there is also a lot of science babble and we should call it out and try to keep it at a as low amount as possible.

The core tenets of science are pretty sound. Religions are based on a lot of completely made up stuff. They are not 100% bad of course. But we seriously can do much much better than that.

I think there is a reason why the concept of religions evolved. They might have been an important tool in early societies. But they are very very old tools and I don't think we need them anymore. They come with too many dangerous problems.

Maybe someone was watching too much fox, that account based on fox leaves out a massive fact and focuses on the coincidence - the prosecutor was universally regarded as corrupt by all top nations and Biden’s son had nothing to do with that.
The legalese defines this: "The term “information content provider” means any person or entity that is responsible, in whole or in part, for the creation or development of information provided through the Internet or any other interactive computer service." In all your examples except the 4th Facebook would clearly be the publisher/provider, and responsible. The 4th is where things get tricky largely because of yet another part of the law:

"No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be held liable on account of any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, whether or not such material is constitutionally protected"

Wrangling over the term "good faith" is going to be a lot trickier, especially when plausible deniability enters into the picture.

Not anonymous, and that's important.

Their co-founder is Robbie Earl, one of the OGs of licensed restaurant chaining - he's a co-founder and still CEO of Planet Hollywood, who's using this trend to prop up some of his other restaurant properties.

For instance, some of the Guy Fieri restaurants are run out of Buca di Beppo restaurant kitchens. I'll give you one guess who's chairman of Buca di Beppo.

Delphi uses a pointer to the latter, in addition to keeping the actual strings with a zero at the end. That way a cast to a C-style "string" is free.

In order to allow for the pointer to live on stack and minimize copying, the data is also reference counted and the compiler takes care of inserting the necessary reference counting calls where needed.

Overall it's pretty flexible, but the reference counting means it's not ideal to use shared strings in heavily threaded code. Of course the second a thread modifies a string, a new string is allocated and that thread can happily work on its "own" string.

Anyway, just yet another way of implementing strings.
> Religions are based on a lot of completely made up stuff

Did you survey all religions to make such claim? And it's not like you don't need axiomatic bases that need to be accepted as is to base science on. There's a lot of "I think" and assumptions in your post that are not backed up by evidence, and some even contrary to reality.

This is a good starting point to expand your horizon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=If3cNUixEBM
The closest thing that I know of is Philip Tetlock, he made a 20-year-long experiment where he asked a variety of "experts" about political events like the fall of the Berlin Wall, and recorded the results.

Depends on the religion. Catholicism has many problems, but you won't get far accusing it of being insufficiently methodical.
In our society today, housing is, for different people:

* A basic human need

* An aggressive financial instrument for wealth creation for speculative investors

* A conservative financial instrument for people's retirement plans

* An outlet for individual nesting instincts and outward manifestations of personal values

* A mechanism for gregarious and luxurious wealth signalling.

There's no one size fits all for these different requirements.

I, too, have fond memories of the old one-time purchase modality of software vending, but I have to admit such an arrangement is largely untenable for any software company which wishes to maintain a high quality product across multiple platforms over the long haul.

Regarding building in their own sync, I think it’s actually a good thing. Naively syncing encrypted files can’t achieve the reliability of conflict resolution that a semantically aware app-level sync can.

On a side note, I moved away from Dropbox a couple years ago as their product became bloated as they seek growth with increased desperation. That is not a trait that I want in a company I allow to install kernel extensions on my machine.

Extremely approachable book with fantastic examples explaining somewhat complex concepts.
what unilever is doing is segmenting the market, and filling each segment with a product offering. cloud kitchens are trying to do the same, but the issue is they're not segmenting on quality at all because they're fundamentally pursuing a (lower) cost strategy. you can't differentiate on quality if you have thin margins, as implied by the cost strategy. they're primarily segmenting on (a select subset) of cuisines, which doesn't get you as far as you might think in such a competitive market as prepared food delivery.

If that were true countries that don't depend on russia would not be affected. Greece uses little natgas, and only only 4% of it is russian, yet it sees some of the most steep rises.
The problem in the UK is that land is the big cost, as there isn't enough allowed in the right areas for building. It doesn't matter if you drop your standard construction of a 3 bed house by £50k, £100k, or even eliminate it completely, the cost of the land would simply increase to compete, because demand is higher than supply, and the cost of a house is set by how much someone is allowed to borrow.

Only when supply does (or even can) exceed demand does competition push prices down to the point where the build cost factors into the end cost

Timber framing is a totally different animal than stick framing, in the US, which the comment was explicitly about. Stick framed buildings use 2x lumber joined together with nails, while timber framed buildings use heavy timbers joined together with bolts and other complex joinery. Japanese house construction (at least what I've seen on YouTube) can accurately be described as timber framing, because it uses timbers set in place by crane and connected with bolts and a lot of mortise-and-tenon joints.

You've come to value your limited time at a fundamental level by 23; many people spend their whole lives without really taking time to think about what is really important (either to them personally, or to in principle). IMO, that's more important than having earned some credential, or being "recognized" by the masses in some particular way.

Science is not a religion. If scientism means thinking that science is the best tool we have right now to explain reality then I guess yea I'm pro science. But it's very far from a religion.

BTW science does not claim to know it all or even be able to know it all. In fact it is an important part of science to find the limits of science.

I am always amazed by how realistic dreams can be. I have this thought that the brain simply could make us believe that they are realistic. I mean something similar when the ,giraffe-elephant hybrid in the tuxedo reading book, in dreams seems normal. Wouldn't it be possible for the brain to just fool us about the realism of our dreams?

On the other hand, the brain generates everything that we perceive in real life what prevents it from achieving the same level of realism in dreams?
Talking about Economics on HN, what could go wrong
i double checked before posting, and what you're saying doesn't reflect what i've read regarding electricity market.

FWIU, once the gaz station are active ( because of a surge in demand) the price is set to theirs for the whole electricity produced, not just the one they produce.

This threshold effect is very peculiar and is very different from other markets (i assume oil extraction cost are lot different depending on where they take place, but for electricity in our current situation the cost difference are so wide that it sure makes the whole system look a bit absurd)
Jesus, man, consular assistance should not be contingent on income.

Home builders carry a lot more risk than your average software dev. You read all the time about devs making 250-400k. I'm in that range myself. There is basically no way I can screw up my job that results in anything worse than getting fired. If you are a home builder, you have on-going liability for everything you build. It's not unheard of to hear about somebody getting sued for something they built a decade ago. Imagine if your career could be ruined because code you wrote 10 years ago had a use after free bug?

Fluctuations in interest rates, material costs and the housing market in general means they also have a lot of risk on the business side. This is especially true for those building spec houses.

Honestly, compared to the software world, that profit range sounds too small.
Love it. Controlling charge current & setting a max charge % should be a big boost to battery lidecycles.

I'm curious if phones actually know their battery charge rate. I believe they know how much power comes in to the phone, but being able to differntiate between power going to the battery versus the rest of the phone would be awesome. Being able to say, charge at 100ma & have that really happen would be exceptionally cool.

Reminder every time I see a ghost kitchens story that one of the bigger players in the space, REEF, uses ghost kitchens to harvest data for real estate and came into the angle as a parking vendor that needed to make money from lots that went vacant during the COVID-19 pandemic, and harvested data from parking customers to re-sell as highly geo-specific market and demographic trends. They've fully pivoted to becoming a property management type that will take your unused property and stuff it full of ghost kitchens, still harvesting data from those transactions to re-sell as market/demographic data.

Their next play looks like they're extending the ghost kitchen model to retail storefronts, so get ready to be flooded with non-existent shops that sell drop-shipped garbage using rapid delivery.
Various controllers have been de-facto standard over multiple platforms over the years. DE-9 joysticks¹ used to be standard, and you could buy your own favorite model to your microcomputer or console. Nowadays it seems that the Xbox controller² has occupied this niche.

I tried to find new hobbies that both of us can enjoy. Lego, drones, playing music instruments, learning new things in biology or physics. It works.
It works great, except that you must pay your estimated tax debt in full when you make an extension. This means you will pay double taxes, then wait on the US government to refund the money that you floated them. Because of the current IRS mess, this can easily take 6mo+ or more.
It's still a very weird and perplexing phenomenon. Settings aside people living in old shipping containers it just seems like it wouldn't be all that hard to make prefabricated housing that looks more or less identical to houses that actually are built for dramatically cheaper.
Proper religion and science do not disagree. I am a person of faith (which is backed by evidence), and my faith pushed us to seek knowledge. The Islamic Golden age is a testament to that fact.

Scientism is not what you defined. From wikipedia (which I take with a big grain of salt)

> Scientism is the opinion that science and the scientific method are the best or only way to render truth about the world and reality.

By the same logic the universe itself (as opposed to its contents including the laws of nature) then the universe isn't necessarily bound to the internal system of laws, and all the same arguments can apply there with no need for a creator!
I think it all comes down to whether you're counting elements as the primary goal. However, months are poorly defined relative to something like an astronomical year or a standard day, so they're more like objects. That is to say, adding different months doesn't give you the same number of days as a result.

Hence, dealing with months is perhaps a bit more like indexing variable-sized objects, and for that purpose traditionally, the array-of-pointers approach uses zero-based pointer arithmetic, which is what the designers might have been thinking.

Really however, the months should probably be treated more like structs, with the number of days in that month being a data member. This would allow sanity checks, i.e. entering Feb 30 should raise an error, but not May 30.
that would work only if non-gas sources generated enough so that gas is not needed at all. As it is right now, solar producers are getting a bonanza in profits because they are being paid at exorbitant prices. At this level, they have no incentive to ramp up production to remove gas from the equation.
But Chinese construction cuts corners so badly a square comes out nearly round.

>PayPal helps them by partially revealing a significant portion of your phone number

>Remember Mat Honan, who’s digital life was destroyed when his iCloud account was wiped in a targeted attack? In that attack, the hacker used social engineering to obtain a partial credit card number from an Amazon employee which Apple then accepted as verification of identity. With PayPal no such social engineering is required; instead revealing half your phone number to anyone who merely enters your email address on the login screen.

>Of course, PayPal also allows users to log in by entering their phone number. Now armed with a partial, a bad actor needs only to enumerate the remaining digits to reveal your full phone number.

If you can afford the cost and time investment, I greatly recommend studying at a Japanese language school in Japan. The experience is invaluable. I was able to get a one-year student visa, later extended for another year, as well as an amendment (there's a proper word for this but I can't recall) to the visa which allowed me to work part-time (above-the-table, that is) to help cover the costs. What's available to you will vary based on your citizenship (I'm American) but if you really want to learn this stuff seriously and have the opportunity available to you, I'd definitely recommend it.

Currently, though, I use DuoLinguo (yeah, not very comprehensive, but the gamificaiton works to induce me to use it every day, and a little study every day is better than none) and occasionally write up "Moments" (blog posts) on HelloTalk. As there's no IRL language schools that teach Japanese in the area I live currently, I hope to do online lessons some day, but those can be spendy and I'm not currently at a point in life with much disposable income.
And yet, right now, solar is 20% of the electricity on the grid in Germany. Wind is 15% (per the electrictymaps app)

Sure it would be better if it was a sunnier place, still...

> Without 230, Facebook would become liable for defamation lawsuits unless it basically censored everything but the most bland content.

> making Facebook liable for defamation as a publisher will just kill the platform entirely and that's not what these users actually want.

What the law should be changed to say is something like "if you censor any legal content based on its message, you become liable for everything". The point is that since being liable for everything would kill them, they'd stop censoring instead.
