I think your friend was pulling your leg. I'm married to a realtor and she's never heard that term. It's definitely not widespread.
There’s a lot of debate in this thread about the rights and wrongs of monarchy, the extent to which the Queen chose to serve, and so on. There isn’t much context about Britain as it was when she became Queen. Since I used to be a historian, I figured I’d throw some in.

Princess Elizabeth wasn’t originally expected to become Queen. Her father was only the second son of King George V and was not expected to become King either. But, in a move that was deeply shocking at the time, the older son, King Edward VIII, abdicated in 1936 so that he could marry a divorcee.

The abdication crisis was complicated and further complicated by the Commonwealth. The members of the Commonwealth, all of whom had Edward VIII as their king, had to agree to the abdication. The government of the Irish Free State, as it was then known, used the opportunity to dramatically reduce the role of the King.

Elizabeth’s father became George VI and she became the heir presumptive. At this point (1936) it still wasn’t clear that she would become Queen. She was just 10 years old and if her parents had a son, he would leapfrog his older sisters and become the heir.

Edward VIII had become Duke of Windsor after the abdication and he remained something of a thorn in the sides of the royal family and British government. There were fights about money and titles and whether the Duke would be allowed to return to the UK. There were bad feelings all round. In 1937 the Duke visited Nazi Germany, which infuriated the British government. During World War II he was considered to be pro-Nazi and was for a while under surveillance by the Americans.

Things had in some ways calmed down by 1952, when George VI died. But the UK was still intensely feeling the effects of World War II. There were several financial crises, the country’s debt was enormous and rationing didn’t end until 1954.

The British Empire had also continued to fall apart. Today many people consider that a good thing, with countries gaining independence and people gaining self-determination. But from a monarch’s perspective, losing an empire is a pretty terrible failure.

I’ve missed out all sorts of things because this was already so long. But that, roughly speaking, was the situation when Princess Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth II in 1952.
Well suicide is a crime in most states, so technically they're not allowed to
The world is a dangerous place, especially for careless people.

Certainly the drag coefficient drops, does it actually drop fast enough to counter the v^2 and see total drag drop as velocity increases?
I am not British but I see monarchy positively.

She was indeed an interesting character, witty, frail yet fierce, out of this time and truly royal.

It’s definitely the end of an era, that makes me a little bit nostalgic.

I have been thinking about this for the past two hours, rewatching the speech she gave at 21. She was hesitant, unsure, obviously unprepared for the death of her father, yet she became a queen at the blink of an eye.

One of my favorite speech, very human, a young lady suddenly realize the weight of her destiny, pledge to put her life, her only life, aside for the rest of her life. She spent the next 70 years being the Queen, no matter what, never complained, never showed any sign of weaknesses, relentlessly performing diplomatic duties.

Being right for 70 years is difficult. I think she genuinely tried.
What CRM do you use and what features are important. So many different crms out there.
This is accurate, I've built something that size and it came out to about that.
They should apply to build a huge 5 story apartment complex on that lot, see how the community likes that. The county would have to approve that development according to that decision..
Presumably, a life-long monarch would enhance political stability.
The numbers aren't as good as the native proponents claim. A lot of sites put on a full court press to use native going so far as to intentionally cripple web in mobile. This is the environment that produces the numbers cited from time to time.

The feel good answers by devs about native experience or OS integration don't have any real data backing them that I can find.

Techmoan strikes again!

In my experience, double the dose lasts the same amount of time, but the peak is more intense. It seems the brain just gets used to the sensation after a while.
.ai and .io are hot commodities, though, and I've never once had problems with either.

Looking at the ample existential evidence, both startups and VCs love these two TLDs.
They are separate, but the different countries have agreed to keep them coordinated. You're right that there was a conversation about the change to absolute primogeniture, with the different realms having to agree to pass the necessary legislation. If one realm had not agreed I suspect the change wouldn't have happened, rather than the succession being split.

That said, there is precedent. Victoria didn't inherit Hanover, which had been in personal union with the UK, because it had different succession laws (which excluded women). So it's just a matter of political will really.
Was the law interpreted differently before? Have people previously claimed that building a single house was a housing development covered by this law, and succeeded, or is it a new kind of legal argument?
I skimmed the article looking for a mention of a REPL or a new debugger. Perl is a great language but it lacks these tools. Sometimes I just want to try a couple of lines of Perl code in a REPL, but I cannot. Instead, I need to create a file. Also, when debugging with `perl -d`, I cannot use the Up arrow key to get the previous command. Not a big deal but the coding experience will be significantly improved with those tools.
Congratulations!

I've been thinking about this a bit, even for a company as renowned as YC, I don't like how the power balance is, and the sort of "we made it!" vibe as if you finally impressed some diety enough to grace you with good fortune. I see the same kind of posts (oddly) about people who tried n times to get a job at google and finally they "made it". Like what are we doing?

I think that once an institution has this kind of getting in as the goal, rather than the actual hard work of making an objectively successful company, incentive structures get all screwed up. This is in no way specific to YC, the same happens in universities, in investment banking, whatever. But it signals the beginning of a hollowing out where the credential is everything and what underlies it doesn't matter. There are definitely areas where the culture is skewed very much in this direction, and it isn't somewhere I'd want to be
Can't I just get it on an easy-to-use website?
Yes we made murder illegal and organized crime engages in that too. Guess laws are just pointless
Thanks for the idea! irony, I am a hardware/software eng working in the home health space... I am thinking of a keurig type device with a integrated finger print reader button. the dispenser only releases dosage if the biometrics match.

I mentioned this idea to my wife and she said it will only make our five year old want them more... maybe we will make a kids version that releases gummies :).
This article says that they are also partnering with Northrup Gruman to develop a "special missions" version for the government. So they very well could be getting a big government investment that so many here are saying would be necessary to pull this off.

Most people end up doing something or other their family disapproves of - it's not some unusual hardship of adult life that outright prevents you from doing things. In his case, being both a doofus and a bit of a Nazi cut off the possibility of future family reconciliation. I suppose there's a line even in royal families.
It's a joke I've heard before, probably online, but I don't know in what circles it's popular.
> I want to be like "oh btw this isn't an intervention, and you don't get a choice..."

It's people like you that make platforms want to remove such emojis.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but since you asked above if we "ban people commenting on how bad russians are", the answer is sure: nationalistic flamebait is not welcome on HN and we ask people to stop doing it and ban them if they don't stop doing it.

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

Banning vs. just scolding depends on what else the account has done on HN, but we don't moderate differently depending on the country people are talking about—or at least we try not to.

Needless to say, that particular case is complicated by the war, but commenters can make their substantive points about that without attacking any ethnic group.
I wish /member/fire was implemented.
I see this for every language, every project - and across domains.

Every new Dev says the previous code is shite. Odd that the plumber and electrician do it too.

It's as if nobody can produce good work except for $ME at $NOW
Reminds me of how the Comanche were complete masters of their environment in the American southwest.
Yes, you’re correct and that’s a reasonable interest. I also realize that I worded my comment in a needlessly obnoxious way.
This is a very common misunderstanding in how these actually get deployed in real life.

Disclosure: I work with the OPS/Nanos toolchain so work with people that deploy unikernels in production.

When we deploy them to AWS/GCP/Azure/etc. we are not managing the networking/storage/etc. like a k8s would do - we push all that responsibility back onto the cloud layer itself. So when you spin up a Nanos instance it spins up as its own EC2 instance with only your application - no linux, no k8s, nothing. The networking used is the networking provided by the vpc. You can configure it all you want but you aren't managing it. Now if you have your own infrastructure - knock yourselves out but for those already in the public clouds this is the preferred route. We essentially treat the vm as the application and the cloud as the operating system.

This allows you to have a lot better performance/security and it removes a ton of devops/sysadmin work.
It would be interesting if the wannabe got a heavier sentence than the real Lizzy Evans. I can't say I'd be too surprised.
lots of this data exists. campaign finance and lobbying reports help shine a light on this behavior.
I have a friend who had HPPD for years and loved it! It's gone now and he misses it.
YC does offer a free version of their program open to anyone called Startup School (https://www.startupschool.org) that can be a good way to gain validation and judge interest. Applying to YC seems to be best for idea staged founders with impressive resumes and people skills or startups that have already gained some traction. If you are in the "Trough of Sorrow" stage as Paul Graham described it, then I'm not sure where you really turn for help.
Masons [have been known to] occasionally change certain things to keep known secrets to stay secret: 'letter and begin', for example.

Duncans Ceremonies is the most famous revelation of Masonic secrets, but no dues-card and not being 'in the book', ultimately counts for nothing, as you won't even be able to properly converse with a mason, nor enter a lodge, without either.
I think there is never NOT a King or Queen, otherwise a lot of the British legal system just doesn't work. Coronation is more of a cementing of the ascension than the ascension itself.
I think it's more about wilful ignorance than truth. I saw a video the other day with a US student protesting a speaker at his uni, and saying how he thought that some political violence could be useful. He then went on to admit he didn't know what the speaker looked like, nor what they believed, nor had he ever seen or heard anything they'd done. He'd just seen a poster saying that this person was bad, that was enough for him.

I've thought for a long time that when the generation that fought in the war, or even grew up in it, has died out, that's when idiots like this student will be free to make something terrible rise. Fight for freedoms like speech while you can.
Someone didn't read before commenting.

Coronation probably won’t take place for months. A coronation is not necessary to become king; Edward VIII reigned as King without ever being crowned.
"Database architecture audit for Madoff Industries" is a pretty good conversation starter as a resume item!

This is a good point, and something that occurred to me after I posted - there's also a type of scam company where honest employees are hired to do something real, but the executive staff are skimming inordinate compensation for themselves or hiding a more nefarious project underneath, like a Ponzi scheme, simple money laundering, or self-dealing / kickback style schemes.

I suppose it's possible that Boom could be one of these, and I don't really have enough data to say whether it is or not.

My personal take on Boom is that it's your typical amateur, marketing-savvy CEO with a lofty dream who managed to collect funding for a project they can't execute on. Whether this kind of thing is a net "good" or not, I'm not sure, but I really don't think it's a "scam" in a mal-intent sort of way.

If I were a VC, I wouldn't invest in an aerospace founder with no aerospace background, but plenty chose to, and their funds are at least being redistributed towards employees and suppliers. The whole idea of Silicon Valley style "innovation" VC is supposedly that their moonshot upsides can patch over their moonshot downsides, no?

It's definitely a common term/joke in pro-housing circles. I've heard it as far back as 10 years ago if memory serves.
Modern HN. *only works on desktop computers.

The screenshots look nice on mobile though. Good effort but I'm kind of attacked to HN how it is and I hope they never change it (and that they continue to make it east for people to riff on the original).
I wonder what kind of odds you can get on him being the last monarch of the United Kingdom.
No. I meant temerity as in excessive confidence.
unfortunately, no. but other records can and do illuminate such behavior.
I agree with you relating to our existing energy problems. However I expect that humanity will be attempting to use as much energy as it can possibly create for at least the next 1,000 years.

I hope we have a bright future growing into space, creating a Dyson ring, orbital habitats, etc.

Replacing our current use of fossil fuels has plenty of strong ground-alternatives. I like the idea of Thorium salt reactors for base load, hydro stored energy and lots of local wind and solar.
I believe it's mostly a UK term.

We can do both. If every US citizen was required to pay a one-time tax of $200 towards the fund, that'd be close to $70B, which is a good start. At a conservative 5% annual return, the fund would begin growing by $3.5B/yr. After 3 generations, or 60 years, the fund would probably be over half a trillion dollars and increasing faster than ever. In another 3 generations, just part of the return could pay everyones' taxes and still have plenty left to keep growing the fund.
Well written and nicely put. I served my time as a projectionist also and miss the job to this day. And digital isn't the same, while they are "picture perfect" with great colours there is still a deadness that I can't explain. Not too long ago I was back in the old projection hall which is now digital and it just sounded wrong I missed the mechanical sound of the old machines.
Not everything digital is better.
Oh it's very well absorbed through the skin, and not a myth at all, and can be easily searched many places online.

We would routinely put this to the test.

Not only is it absorbed through the skin, but it takes longer to start and end the trip. We would do it on purpose for a longer/more intense trip if we were say camping for the weekend.

No, a lot of people have willfully misinterpreted you as a Linux zealot, even though you suggested Mac as an option, and as someone who has no regard for the choices of women, even though you seem to be going with Windows anyway.

That's not your fault, it's their fault. They're looking for straw men to punch.

It's not a crime to care about privacy, or to make suggestions to less technically sophisticated family members who specifically requested help. It's also not a crime for couples to disagree and argue about stuff. It's totally normal and boring, as long as it remains civil.
> writer George Jean Nathan claimed ... before 1920s ... eight basic sandwich types ... by 1926, he claimed that he had counted 946...

Can't help but think people wrote to tell him he was wrong.
Clearly, given the number of pages this dedicates to placing bounds on the definition of "housing development project", nothing is cut and dry.

But I have to guess that if you were approved to build 3 houses, and stopped after building 1, these neighbors aren't going submit complaints to the county to try to compel you to build the other 2.
Maybe lsd has changed since the 90s but 2 or 3 hits lasts longer than 24hrs. I don’t see how “hundreds” would be survivable. You would probably just die of exhaustion, there’s no sleeping on lsd and the harder you try fight it the worse it gets.

This is an interesting headline. I would imagine there are quite a few secret societies we don't know about because they are, well, secret.

This story just really doesn't read like the triumph of will it was meant to be...

My takeaway from this is that the founders wanted to get into YC. The business doesn't matter, they just wanted to be in YC.

The business morphed around what they thought would get into YC, not what would actually make a good business. I have a ton of respect for YCombinator, but they are not all knowing oracles who get it right 100% of the time. The fact that the immediate response to each rejection was "pivot" I think speaks volumes to the founder's goals here.
The idea that local municipalities get to decide, arbitrarily and subjectively, what is "compatible with the neighborhood," means that property rights do not exist. As property rights are the basis of free markets, it's important that we understand there is no free market - not even a highly regulated market - for construction in large swathes of the US, and nearly every employment center.

It is perfectly fine to regulate the acceptable parameters of development, but they can't subjective and arbitrary. That's not how rule of law works.
That case report notes a 10x dose, a 5x dose (these are pretty standard), and a very loose description of snorting 55mg of powdered LSD, which I don't buy. I've seen enough folks eat a sheet or down a 10k mic vial and trip for a week+ to know better. Possibly the dose report was well off, or snorting it and fortunately they didn't get much of it or it wasn't pure LSD-25.
I suspect she was iconic in a way we will not see again. It's likely that the British monarchy will not survive in its current form to Louis, perhaps not even to William. When QEII ascended, she was one of a scant handful of European monarchs that survived to the middle of the 20th century, and the public perception of the institution has steadily eroded over the years. If anything, QEII's longevity held some of that erosion back, but Charles and William will not.
There is no actual meaning, though. Just what you can pretend is meaningful for awhile.
Trees don't grow to the sky
If demand correlates only with population, and supply is constant, all those who own housing will see their value go up as long as the population increases.

If housing is an investment it means either demand went up (population growth), or supply did not go up (housing wasn't built).

I suspect that if you measure housing price adjusted for inflation per capita, you would get a measure of housing supply.

The fact that house owning individuals financially gain from limiting housing supply is, to me, the defining feature of class warfare, even if people don't think they are participating in it.

I think this is the basis for the statement "housing can either be affordable or an investment, but not both." Housing can either be in adequate supply (affordable) or limited (an investment).
Two weeks ago I was picnicking with friends at Mission Dolores Park in San Francisco and multiple vendors came by with cute baskets full of weed and psychedelic mushrooms for sale. They even accept Venmo for payment. We weren’t looking, these people just wander around offering them to every group they walk past.
I don’t think so, but several other sources do provide structured roll call data, which is what this is called.
Very true. I can't stand the screen door effect you see on a lot of digital projections. It's horribly distracting. I saw Dune in digital IMAX and spent the whole time thinking there was something wrong with the projector. I think they need some kind of final analog optical step that mitigates the pixelated look many have.

Plus with digital you never have the film getting stuck and melting - always a treat to witness!
That's perfectly normal - people felt that way (cried) when Kim Il-sung died, for some reason some people tend to worship their rulers.

Most goldbugs, and many crypto boosters, are just hyper-individualists. "I keep my money and it doesn't lose value" is the only criterion they care about in a monetary system or a tax system. Hence the support for both constricting the money supply and low taxes, especially on the high-income bracket they usually reside in.

I find some merit in your argument. I feel like the GP said "We use lots of turbines, isn't that interesting" and I said "It's nice to see the common factor here is a translation of pressure -> electricity" or "temperature -> energy."

So what I thought I was contributing here was an explanation of why we like steam and turbines so much.

I'm pretty sure that steam, turbines, etc have a big efficiency loss. Like you guessed, I meant "the best way we know of to do it at industrial scale now."
