"I am old-fashioned, but I would think that inferior courts start with what the Supreme Court has said the text means."

(I did a quick search and found three sources that span the ideological spectrum, which show how widespread the negativity about this decision has been.)

This is a terribly-reasoned decision that doesn't make much legal sense. It's an ideological decision, motivated by the feeling that rightwing voices, which are actually boosted by the rich people that own social media, are instead, against all sense, suppressed.
I had noticed that it had changed but wasn't sure what exactly the change was. Yes, far too quiet 10-15s after the loud transient is exactly why I ended up having to disable it.

I think the speakers in most TV's these days are a big culprit.
Because why not? It's far more often than not that for whatever reasons the dialog sounds are just terrible. They don't care about the audience hearing the dialog(see Tenet). A show which guarantees that you can hear every line clearly is the outlier now.

In Lambda calculus, numbers are encoded using 0 and successor. So 3 = S(S(S(0)))

Adding these would be O(N+M) where N and M are the numbers, not the number of bits.

Multiplying is O(N*M) where again it is the numbers.

1000*1000 would require a million operations at least. It takes a million operations just to store/read the number million!

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_encoding

Unless this HN submitted implementation doesn't use church encoding. In which case I am wrong.
It helps that you start from very little in Stellaris. At start you do minimum of building and just fly around with your science ship discovering stuff, the more complex stuff is more gradual.

> twitter ought to do only minimal moderation for spam removal platform stability.

i strongly strongly disagree, either we allow filtration or we don’t.

on many forums i personally find some people’s almost obsessive shoehorning of conspiratorial ideas to be just as destructive to conversations, just as signal-to-noise destroying as spam for dick-pills.

if every behavior is allowed to fuzz every conversation, then it isn’t clear to me how we can discriminate against someone loudly and often sharing with us about the amazing pill which grew their penis to horse-scale girth and length and where we should buy it.

either we allow moderation to keep signal-to-noise manageable, or we don’t.

> Government-owned hospitals are a bad idea in my view, because there's no incentive to provide good customer (patient) service, innovate, or move elective procedures to specialized surgical centres outside of a hospital centre.

1) The incentive to innovate in the overall medical field is fulfilled by the existence of private hospitals, which according to my OC wouldn't be banned or cease to exist. They would coexist alongside the public ones.

2) Behind your statement lies the necessary asumption that the medical staff would not provide a good service to their patients because the government would pay them less than private hospitals. While it is a spectrum, most decent doctors won't treat their patients worse because they are getting paid less, something that is not the patient's fault nor responsibility.

Besides, one does not choose to get ill or suddenly feel in need of medical care.

Your use of the word "customer" to refer to a medical patient sickens me.

ADL is, saddening.

I want a language with the pragmatism of C++ rather than the "mutability excludes aliasing, no lifetime errors allowed, at the cost of usability, and no defined unsafe pointer semantics so far" unfinished experiment of Rust, with better sum type syntax than std::variant, and eliminating C++ footguns luke {implicit conversions, implicit copies, mixed-sign integer comparison, silently overriding virtual methods, C-style casts of multiple inheritance pointers is UB...}. Perhaps Cppfront holds promise, possibly Carbon or Jakt, maybe Zig though it lacks RAII when convenient and its return value semantics (much like Carbon's) is a footgun: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/issues/5973.

It's simpler than this. If you're watching a movie/show on a phone or laptop in a shared area, it'll probably be at low volume, so you can't hear the dialog. I've watched entire series with CC for exactly this reason.

With social media videos, CC is even more important cause nobody wants their phone making noise in public, and any wise app will mute by default anyway.

Maybe, but here is the thing: that’s not the argument actually put forward in Roe v. Wade. This thread is not about litigating whether there is a constitutional right to abortion. Instead, it’s whether the particular case, Roe v. Wade, was correctly decided as a matter of law. If you want to argue that it was, you need to refer to the actual arguments put forward in it, instead of some (arguably) better arguments they could have used instead.

It's not just boomers complaining, if you look at the ages of the journalists behind the articles, you'll generally find it's younger journalists, approaching 30s, maybe 40s, effectively taking the crap they got and passing it down the line.

I see that a lot on Netflix, I like to watch with the captions on but not for the foreign stuff with English dubbing. Squid Games is one that comes to mind where I'd have to turn the captions off because the mismatch between the english audio and captions was too distracting for me.

>And it is correct.

With a fairly inactive lifestyle, I would still only be able to get to ~150 by losing all my body fat. 100%.

The final ten pounds would have to come out of muscle, organ, or bone. It doesn't sound healthy.

Also, I have been around 140 lbs as an adult, many years ago, and it did immediately precede my hospitalization, although it wasn't exactly due to an eating disorder.

Official sources give 2% body fat as the minimum for men, but that also sounds a bit extreme.

I agree with you, technical and UX issues are way down the list of reasons why there's less engagement. But I do think it's a contributing factor that they ought to pay attention to.
“Hypothetical”, in this legal context, is used to describe an assumption of facts to be used to test a logical proposition or legal consequences under those assumed facts.

The judge’s use of the term “hypothetical” was correct, and does not represent an assertion, one way or the other, about whether “pro-Nazi and terrorist speech” does or does not exist on these platforms.

Underrated comment. These are such critical concepts and really the way we should all be discussing out media consumption.
At first I assumed this was just going to be the writer being out of touch. Of course young people use subtitles. They're distracting and frequently ugly, but modern movies/shows have awful audio mixing, forcing you to turn it down, and mumbling/whispering dialogue. And we frequently watch things in environments where we don't want sound or headphones, e.g. TikTok or whatever in public or at night (and also, since these platforms start playback automatically, you'd otherwise miss something). And of course, we watch things that aren't in English.

But then I read all the accounts of people who can't explain why they turn on subtitles, aside from "I just like it" or "I'm just used to it", and I just... I feel confused, angry. I AM the out of touch old person.

No, it doesn't snapshot every action. Even as cheap as they are, that would probably be overkill.

I have snapshots every 15 minutes, every hour, every day, every week (different retention schedules for each). And then anything dangerous there's a wrapper for "snapshot, do it, snapshot again".

It's really pretty difficult to lose anything this way, and recovery is _very_ easy. The snapshotted files are available in a magic directory named .zfs or something.

Backups are still needed of course, because if the fs shits itself (or enough redundant drives die), you'd still be in trouble.

I have worked with one company that competes with Grab in Indonesia, and like you said, it's about daily engagement even at the cost of losing money in some fronts.

I've worked on IVR systems and everyone involved was already acutely aware that most customers prefer speaking to a human as quickly as possible. The problem is that call center time is crazy expensive, especialy competent call center reps who can actually solve problems.

So businesses have a choice: charge a premium to cover support costs or minimize their call center costs and compete on price. (Or somewhere in between.)

Personally I like working for and dealing with companies that go the former route even if things cost more.

But for the companies that choose to be price competitive it's not necessarily a bad business decision to make your most demanding and expensive customers unhappy and send them to your competitors.
Right, the majority decides what is an "attack" in that it decides which chain to use, and the longest chain wins. But that's not the issue. People (or automated systems) can decide on their own what is an attack. They see transactions being reversed after several confirmations and say "the blockchain is compromised, so I won't use it anymore."

Yes with PoS it's harder to remove the attacker. But the attacker also stands to lose far more money than the attack can possibly be worth.

Nonsense. Farm animals are unnaturally bred and essentially slaves. We somehow have them. Are you opposed to their existence too?

Yes, people have disagreed about slavery and farm/working animals and all those grey areas of animal and human rights. But it's arrogant of you to take your personal opinion and try to impose it on an entirely different society with creatures that you know nothing about "just in case" the members of that society happen to be morally wrong by your standard. Let them make up their own mind just as we make up our own minds today. They'll be in a much better position to do so.

There is. Using the Mogensen–Scott encoding, a self-interpreter can be written in lambda calculus as

(λf.ff)(λf.λt.t(λx.x)(λm.λn.ffm(ffn))(λm.λv.ff(mv))),

which is a direct translation of the equivalent Haskell code

data Term t = Var t | App (Term t) (Term t) | Abs (t -> Term t)
newtype Function = Function {apply :: Function -> Function}

interpret :: Term Function -> Function
interpret (Var x) = x
interpret (App m n) = apply (interpret m) (interpret n)
interpret (Abs m) = Function (\v -> interpret (m v))

> I have no room for TLS on micro computer

How micro is your micro? There are embedded TLS stacks such as wolfSSL[1]. If you carefully select the cipher suite and certificate requirements, and perhaps limit TLS payload sizes, you may be able to fit on a lot more systems than you initially suspect. x.509 is expensive in code space though, if that's the constraint, you may do better with an application specific certificate replacement of some sort.

I'm from Europe so used to subtitles from early age. My wife is Canadian, and first little while of our dating was bewildered with subtitles.

Now though, literally all my Canadian in-laws use subtitles, intergenerationalLy - they're used to them, and addicted to knowing what the heck is going on :)
I appreciate the answer. Interesting. My read on that section was that it was all around specifically the request for immediate preliminary relief (to stay the state law basically?) — this was from section IV right? - and in that section the “hypothetical enforcement” was, in my reading, pretty clearly referring to what the tech companies were arguing the state would do to enforce the law, and the court seemed to be saying, you haven’t established that the enforcement mechanism will be onerous because it’s yet to be seen how this will be enforced - your concerns about enforcement are hypothetical.

But IANAL and had to read through it pretty fast.
As you probably know, it's messy and not entirely straightforward to get any decent numbers on the whole picture. Which is my roundabout way of saying that my sources could be better, but I do believe it helps paint a picture. Total system costs will increase because of stabilization measures that need to be taken now that we're moving towards a grid with a lot of variability, this includes but is not limited to various types of storage and frequency stabilization. The increased transmission capacity between countries and an increased number of transmission cables to connect all the remote wind turbine parks to the grid will also add to the costs.

[0] looks at Germany specifically, the report was put out by VDE which is a large technical branch organization [1].

Check out the slide on page 17 [2], it has projected wholesale costs for 2030. The median price isn't going down and the span is getting much bigger than during previous time periods. This doesn't show the total system costs, but we would clearly be in a grid with a high variability and this would result in cost increases as mentioned. This can be seen in [4], on page 16 they specifically mention "The rapid increase in investments in electricity distribution networks could moreover be correlated to the increase of the share of distributed electricity generation (especially from renewable energy sources) in the period and electrification in general." And yes, I know that correlation is not causation.

There is also this report [3] that does look at the total picture. The conclusion there is that it is better to have a mix than 100% renewables basically.

But I feel like this was something that HN wouldn't have liked. This was a nice essay but I'm still unsure how it got to the front page.
(( Please comment, why did you upvote ? ))

I honestly expected some kind of connection with the title and the story. But there really wasn't. Okay, yeah they talked about Cobain's death, life but did it actually have anything to do with his dad ?

On another note, I feel the writer. Not having a purpose, that's how I feel right now. One could say that I became slightly HN-popular. Even got several internship offers and I worked for two and a half months. But I barely felt like any of the work I was doing actually served a purpose.

I feel lost, this was a good perspective on life stories. But is this just entertainment or do I get any value from it ? Is this just like Netflix and Prime movies and shows that are so far from my own reality that I'm absorbed into it and I feel like I become a part of it and I aspire to some of their values.

I also like writing, I feel like software engineering programming as a job isn't for me.

edit: spelling.
So, curious.

No, I'm sure the biggest value of a gated community is the added safety. You'd still get the noises you mentioned, except perhaps the street vendors if the gated area is remote or big enough. It's still a residential area with parties, dogs, and delivery motorcycles, after all.
