I grew up in Europe and I did love the A-n system for its mathematical elegance. But having moved to the US where they use a different size without the halving property I found that I don't really miss it at all in practice and the only benefit I really derived from it was a bit of smug intellectual superiority. I find that a lot of the value of these size systems comes from network effects of many other things in the environment being compatible, such as printers, paper cutters, rulers, etc. With Letter I like that the dimensions are almost whole imperial values (8.5 x 11), while TBH I always found it annoying that A4 had so many significant digits. It has a very technocratic vibe to it - user is not as important as having nice mathematical properties, damnit! :-)

The cost of a domain looks conveniently close to the cost of keeping track of some entity's reputation to me.

A domain is relatively cheap. Accepting some 20 messages before you are sure it's spammy is also cheap. You will have to filter out the malicious domain registers, but that's a quite immutable set, as becoming a register is a bureaucratic process with a non-trivial cost.
Almost nothing is known of the people who erected the menhirs
Black and white movies have a number of advantages over color. You immediately know you are in an artificial story, like introducing your film saying "Once upon a time…" :)

Similarly, why do animation? Why take away all the detail of reality? Again, animation highlights the artificiality of the story, which can be a huge advantage. Samurai Jack is incredibly beautiful, and unapologetically make strange choices to heighten the viewer's experience. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iBU_D36-AA

It's wonderful to have options!
You should blog about this "have fun in jail" incident
My understanding is CF provided this information privately to Null/Josh Moon and then Null/Josh Moon decided to be public with it.

I may be wrong.

(I don't know if I believe Null, personally, but both he and keffals are about as reliable narrators as Humbert Humbert.)
“We’ll I didn’t see anything” is a terribly unscientific methodology.
Removing the battery is the same as opening the switch in this circuit: they both will indicate that the device has been tampered with (output will be low).
At the risk of sounding like I'm defending a product I don't particularly like,
of course somebody can tamper with the electronics, but even without the speaker alert, an iOS device will warn about an AirTag moving with you, and the Android app can still find nearby tags (and I'm sure someone has built and released an Android app that can scan in the background too - Find My is just using standard BLE after all).

Once discovered & the police are involved the tag can be linked back to the owner with a nice paper trail that can be presented in court... so it's still a worse device for a stalker to use.

They'd be much better served using a cheap GPS tracker[1] with a disposable SIM card... there are heaps of them available. You can buy both domestically and internationally from aliexpress, and they're cheap.

1. Embrace - come build on our open APIs! Make us more relevant! All welcome! It’s not going to be like Twitter.

2. Extend - That’s a nice feature you’ve got there, shame if someone were to copy it.

2a. Hey podcasts are much cheaper to produce than songs, we can make our own, and people will spend their time listening to those instead of expensive licensed music. Buy all the podcasters, control what they say! Selection for Societal Sanity!

3. Extinguish - you keep calling the APIs that make us pay licensing fees. We can’t push our own content if we don’t control the UI. Albums are expensive, you should REALLY try our cheaper playlists. No? Then good riddance.
"Poorly aligned incentives" in the nutritional sciences is, as far as I can tell, mostly various food lobbies getting their product to look good.

The reason there is "confusion" about whether many animal products are good or bad is because the corporations making billions of dollars off the product fund biased research.

Consider looking at the research digests from a non-profit (that sells no products, has no ads, etc) focusing on improving your health: https://nutritionfacts.org/
Given that Moderna's dose is 100ug vs Pfizer's 30ug with the spike protein being the same and the other ingredients very similar, 6% over placebo is basically nothing and suggests that Pfizer's results might be a fluke.
Yeah, but that’s just complaining that just because we used to have flying cars we still should. We decided as a society to give up on flying cars. They’re gone. Move on with your (our) boring 2D lives.
I guess at 460bn market cap it's a tad more valuable than the drug market https://www.worldometers.info/drugs/

"With estimates of $100 billion to $110 billion for heroin, $110 billion to $130 billion for cocaine, $75 billion for cannabis and $60 billion for synthetic drugs, the probable global figure for the total illicit drug industry would be approximately $360 billion"
TBH I think your target market is quite confusing.

It seems to be a non-technical user who is struggling to write Python and wants an easy way out, but is willing to install a tool via a CLI within a python virtual environment, knows what a Jupyter Notebook is and possibly wants to start writing machine learning code?

If the target market is actually the 'struggling non-technical user' I suspect you will need to remove as much friction as possible, although i'm not entirely sure if that is your target market.

IMO would be good to focus on how your product actually helps do analysis better than Excel + PowerQuery/M, because presumably there has to be some sort of functional benefit otherwise what's the point?
This is just your opinion and perception then, because Electron apps have been hugely commercially successful and teams using it have built very strong experiences that users love. If they were so "terrible" and "out of place" users would reject them, and they don't. The HN crowd has been consistently wrong about this.
I said “I think that argument is disingenuous, at best” to someone recently.

It is self hosted, offline by default, with options to use various ASR and TTS engines, some online, depending on your own privacy, performance or quality choices. It's quite mature and the maintainers are aiming for a 1 0.0 version release. I have been running it as the primary voice interface to my home automation system for years.

As someone else said elsewhere, there are a few assistants around now. Perhaps there is some benefit for sharing of resources too, as all struggle for contributors.

It may also be the case that it's not "people paying others to DDOS" and rather a state-level actor trying to influence their actions.
It's not a significant issue.

All renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro, biofuels) comes from the sun anyway and the only difference if that sunpower goes into 'waste heat' immediately or gets temporarily used for work before turning into the exact same amount of waste heat.

Fossil fuels are releasing energy that was taken from the sun millions of years ago, but the direct heat outcome of burning all that is dwarfed by the greenhouse effect of emitted gasses - small changes to how much Earth radiates into space matter much more than the heat produced by burning that fuel.

The same applies for nuclear, which does generate extra waste heat but it is not significant compared to the greenhouse effect.
In a thread about serious complications from taking the vaccine is this comment,
"all those who got the vaccine and thereby had much better outcomes when they got the 'VID."

The vaccine didn't prevent sickness nor transmission. I would not take risks of this EUA medical treatment that doesn't work.
Cereal production is still expressed in “quintal/hectare” with quintal keeping its old meaning of 100 livres but using the metric ones so 100kg.

This feels like one of those things that sounds interesting until you take a minute and think about it.

Hurricanes don't come from nowhere. You can evacuate for a hurricane. And the actual hurricane is over relatively quickly. I'm also not sure how knock-on deaths are counted. Hurricanes cause flooding, spin off tornadoes, and can disable services during some of the hottest months of the year. So a hurricane will make you susceptible to floods, tornadoes, and heatwaves. But still. We know what to do when hurricanes come.

Tornadoes are violent, but quick. You usually have some amount of time to clear out of the path if necessary.

Floods come in many forms. A lot of them are less lethal. Water slowly rising 4 feet over several hours is a different scenario than water rising 4 feet over several seconds.

Heat. Heat is different. There's no real indicator that there's too much of it. Yeah, you got hot, but you get hot a lot of times. It's fine. "Just got to finish this lawn, this run, this game, etc." And heat usually covers a huge area, enough that it could take over a day just to drive out of the affected area.

We respect violence, and heat is not violent.
So you go to the source site _after_ the evil things they've done are reported on, and the site posted a rebuttal. And you think you're getting a true, unaltered representation of the things that occured BEFORE this happened? Bad take.

> saw no organised harassment, doxing, brigading

Either because it was now removed or hidden from public view. These activities have definitely occured on KF and just because you "don't see it happening now", doesn't mean it hasn't.
What about the people who can't afford a car because of these features?
Yeah, having metric everything makes it easy to do conversions and correlating with different properties of matter, you're using the language of science (and most of the world), with proper definitions in terms of reality: atoms (for kg), distance in terms of c*some_time, volume related to mass (1ml of water => 1g of water, you can get very precise with temperature as an input). Having a standard for orders of magnitude that's consistent (micro, milli, kilo, mega, giga) is just the cherry on top.
You ignored inverter, battery, battery replacement, and installation costs. All that has to be amortized along with the interest rate or opportunity cost of tying up your capital.

There a lot of refrigerators cheaper than $800 and just about all of them cost more to power than to buy.
People do acclimatize to greater or lesser degrees. But what I'd call a heat wave in New England is pretty much just "summer" in a big chunk of the US.

In fairness we seem to have managed to cock up the standard UI toolkit on native applications as well. Things like office, chrome, Spotify all invent there own UI these days.
I'm not sure if you noticed that I gave examples both in film and on stage.
The internet was founded on very laissez-faire speech attitudes. We've been living the larger picture for decades; it's how we got where we are.

Does the old laissez-faire approach continue to work when more than half the living population is online?
Someone pointed out above, those numbers are from 2 different trials, and they counted placebos and SAEs differently. The two trials are internally consistent, but can't be compared against each other due to differences in procedure and methodology.
Makes me wonder if this is also a problem in countries that get those kinds of temperatures much more frequently (e.g. Qatar). Or have they learned to deal with this?
It's still just democracy if the majority wishes so.

Democracy (in the actual, direct demoracy sense) is not about ensuring inclusivity in public position offices and representation, it's about each person having one vote and then majority ruling.

If those groups have the right to vote and get elected, but don't because most don't want to elect them, that's still a democracy. It's even a democracy if the majority decides to stiffle a minority (it might not be ethical or decent to do, and the majority might have decided so for racist or sexist reasons, but that's still democratic).
Just want to point out two things:

1) Rognlie[1] pointed out that Piketty's central premise -- that the returns to capital are growing faster than the overall growth rate of the economy -- falls apart when you properly account for asset class and depreciation. The accelerating returns are specifically to real estate, while the returns to capital (excluding real estate) are flat.

2) Tyler Cowen pointed this out on his interview [2] with Piketty and Piketty essentially conceded the point.

Tyler implied therefore that the natural conclusion is Georgism[3]

This wouldn't force the rich to move elsewhere?
Not everyone can just move between countries. Beyond the cost and family/friends situation... the basics of immigration come in to play. Will that new country even allow you in? I'd looked in to this multiple times over the past couple decades, and it was often difficult or impossible short of having a few million behind you. In most cases, you'll need to have an actual employer-sponsorship lined up, and many employers in other countries are reluctant to bother. Not saying it doesn't happen, but it's not trivial to get those stars to line up.
> Are you talking about the off label viagra usage to pass hell week? Not that I am condoning the practice, but that is not cheating in my books.

That's officially forbidden by the rules of their training so it's cheating.
My mom often complained about me being on the computer too much, but still let me have a computer in my room, would semi-regularly come home with new computer games from the dollar store that she thought I might like, and took me to the library to check out a bunch of books about computers whenever I asked. When I came up with weird things I wanted to be (that changed weekly as a kid), she kind of just indulged me without taking it too seriously OR poking obvious holes in my dreams of being a motocross racer. I feel like she kind of just let me figure things out for myself, not convincing me of anything but also subtly helping me pursue the things I decided I was curious about.

I think that partly as a result of this (coupled with the privilege of growing up in a middle-class family with enough resources to live comfortably), I grew up with the default (unconscious) expectation that I'd do something I really enjoyed with my life, for work and otherwise. Not because anyone told me that, but just because nobody said otherwise. While at the same time always expecting to have to put real effort and time into whatever I decided to pursue next.
Sad how this kind of behavior (“have fun in jail”) is lauded in the VC world.

What Country or US State ? The answer depends upon that plus income level. With ACA in the US best to check the WEB site of the state you live in.
I remember a scene in Sopranos where Tony told off his lietunants for not making a enough money for him. “This business is like a pyramid” (more or less).

Where would the rich gangsters be if the low-level thugs had enough money in order to not pursue crime? They would still have those who are more in it for the thrill than the money, but would it be enough?

This article focuses on the fantastic tech. breakthroughs that need to happen. Let’s assume for a second that all of that is possible in a world without antagonisms. But what if rich entities are better served by other entities being poor than then being of moderate means? What would be the energy output of those antagonisms manifesting themselves? That should also be taken into account.

I was recently in one of these hot climates at peak times and did a lot of research on this while pushing my limits as an athlete. So many factors play into human adaptability to heat even including things like how exposed your veins are (phlebotomists love you!). People think areas like Vegas are hot, but cities like Dallas can have higher wet-bulb temps (WBGT) due to humidity. WBGT is the gold standard for performance considerations in hot climates:

Current WBGT - https://www.weather.gov/tsa/wbgt

Fahrenheit - https://arielschecklist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/CHART...

Celsius - https://arielschecklist.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/CHART...

These are good guides but don't let this info plant anxiety in your mind either. Heat can kill you over time, but if you get into a situation where you feel heat exhausted, stay calm and stick to a single plan to unwind and rest. Carry around a frozen water bottle or two if you're headed somewhere hot for awhile. Neck + palms are one of the best ways to cool core temps [1]. Pre-hydration is also important, water + electrolyte intake days before exertion affects performance.

>iOS app from 2010

Isn't this an Apple thing? Seems like you should still be able to find and run old Android VMs. They ship with the SDK unless they retroactively pulled them.
Because backward compatability is an unsolved problem.
Correct, yep. These are theoretical numbers, measured in cycles from a P-core (with no loads/stores), real-world performance tends to be a little less (~93%): https://twitter.com/stephentyrone/status/1455665595677085697

FP16 only doubles throughput rather than quadrupling.

I haven't looked at power/thermals, so I can't really comment. (Though it's possible it's always running a bit under 3.2GHz, since I was measuring in clock cycles - that might be part of the 7% difference.)
That seems like a requirement that would favor the companies. I think the UniSofts out there would gladly normalize expiration dates if they could.

I would prefer a requirement that, if the external services are taken offline, either the services must be made available to users to run themselves, or a patch must be released which makes the game no longer dependent on external services.

Heat pumps are quite efficient . So it’s probably still a lesser crime than burning stuff to heat something.
Maybe my memory is fuzzy, but I don't remember Flash being used for apps. It got used for video playing and games mostly, as well as unnecessary animation on restaurant/hotel websites. The occasional enterprise app used it, but generally they were ActiveX.

What we had was server-side frameworks. Generated HTML, click a link that does a GET or POST. That's how my webmail at University worked, that's how the control panel for my web hosting worked etc.

I think my first exposure to proper clientside UI was GMail (lunched 2004, I think I signed up ~2006).
I can recommend Timendus test suite (which includes the one mentioned as well), as a more thorough set of tests and verification utilities: https://github.com/Timendus/chip8-test-suite

There are a lot of other useful references and tools worth mentioning, depending on how much hand-holding you want when implementing the emulator:

- http://johnearnest.github.io/Octo/
- https://laurencescotford.com/chip-8-on-the-cosmac-vip-index/
- https://tobiasvl.github.io/blog/write-a-chip-8-emulator/

Additionally, note that there are lot of variants of the instruction set / system-specific quirks, which you probably don't want to entirely ignore in an implementation. In particular, the Cowgod's reference doesn't cover this fully (Matt Mikolay's is more thorough, but doesn't cover everything either).
Doesn't this warning then suggest that bathroom ventilation fans should never be used? And should be removed from houses (and building codes) at all expediency?

Depends on what you are working on. I happen to like Racket a lot but no one has ever paid me money for Racket development. In the last 40 years, lots of paid Common Lisp work.

Racket’s portable GUI and app builder are very good, as is LispWorks’.
I could not agree with this more.

It feels like trust fund babies are pretty much everything that the US is not supposed to be about. Whenever I'm in a mood to discuss politics and someone brings up the "death tax" I say something like: "I agree, the world absolutely needs more people like Paris Hilton." (Not to pick on Paris Hilton, but I think that she's a visible example that people resonate with.)
Yea it looks like most poverty now is political. Like North Korea or war torn countries. I think most countries if they had good political leadership could be wealthy
Also the quantity and dietary proportion of meat consumed has changed significantly. People may have eaten meat long ago, but it wasn't the staple nor a daily part of the meal for most people.
