The tools of warfare and colonialism become the tools of suppressing one's own people. Foucault's boomerang.

"These tools are good for us when we use them against our enemies" breaks down very fast when your apparatus starts to find "enemies" within its borders, a line we crossed a very long time ago.
I sold my 2010 panny plasma two years ago and picked up a Sony OLED and wow, what a difference. Once you turn off all the BS image processing and dial in the settings to your liking it blows plasma out of the water with brighter images with HDR, lower power draw and higher resolution. You're not forced to use the smart-tv non-sense either, don't wire it into your network, don't connect it to your wi-fi and only use a third-party device like a shield or roku.

I'd say you're missing out at this point IF you consume media regularly, especially movies. Otherwise you probably don't mind much.
Who exactly is brewing up anger here? The only people I see getting angry are the ones in these comments who are so easily triggered by the word "race".
I'm a completely casual game in the sense that: basically the only games I've ever really played and enjoyed that much are GTA and Skyrim. I have an Xbox and a gaming PC, because people talk about video games as if they're really fun, but I have just never actually been able to materialize that for myself.

I figured the next GTA was never coming out, and that they would just keep milking the current one until the end of time.

This leak showed that not only are they working on it, but it looks really cool.

I have a tough time seeing how anybody would see this leak as a negative. The game looks great.
> For anyone wondering, based on these estimations our BTC equilibrium price (break even point for miners) would be roughly $22k.

Note: with the current network hashrate. If some miners become unprofitable - they turn off their equipment, total network difficulty decreases, and the hashrate needed decreases too.
This is what Americans are afraid of in terms of universal education or whatever it’s called. I think it probably still has some net positive effects on society as a whole, even if that person has a useless degree they are educated and that foundation remains through their life regardless of whatever job they end up in. In the US, we have such a disparity of education. It’s likely fueling some of our other problems. Just like income inequality, healthcare, etc.

"I know that most men, including those at ease with problems of the greatest complexity, can seldom accept even the simplest and most obvious truth if it be such as would oblige them to admit the falsity of conclusions which they have delighted in explaining to colleagues, which they have proudly taught to others, and which they have woven, thread by thread, into the fabric of their lives."

Jobs are more often created than discovered.

Tomorrow we might discover a new kind of math, requiring newly trained mathmeticians in a novel field.

Those mathmeticians will need admins, business services, places to work, food, etc.

Thus even the discovery of a few jobs has more jobs created than found.
> Normal railways increase the track gauge slightly in curves (because most train cars don't use differentials)

Actually gauge widening in curves is to some extent probably more a remnant of steam locomotives with their comparatively ginormous wheelbases.

Based on current knowledge, a slight gauge widening on straight track and a slight gauge tightening on tight curves might actually be more beneficial – while trains don't have differentials, they normally (BART and some streetcar systems excepted) use conical wheels, which can self-steer themselves around curves down to a certain radius. That radius is somewhere in the range of a few hundred metres, but its exact value depends on the equivalent conicity of the combination of wheel and rail profiles.

A higher equivalent conicity reduces the minimum radius down to which self-steering remains effective, while a lower conicity reduces hunting and increases stability at high speeds on straight track. Simultaneously, given a nominal track gauge, a slight increase in the track gauge reduces the equivalent conicity, while a decrease of the track gauge noticeably increases equivalent conicity.
This has the potential to provide a lot of meta-insights about society if it coalesces into a distinct branch of social studies.

Power laws are everywhere. Why isn't there a field dedicated to studying these social/psychological archetypes? Like: what kinds of people are most likely to write the comments we read, what kinds of people are more likely to become politicians, what kinds of people are more likely to seek "Trust & Safety jobs" at social media companies, or become journalists, etc. Groups cluster, and no "influential" group (defining influencial liberally) is representative or free of bias. There's a lot of insights to be gained in this kind of "meta-thinking" about society. This would be far more insightful than basic observations about gender or race ratios, and would highlight far deeper divisions within society, which could help address them.
Just as there are copycat criminals there are copycat forgeries and scams. The irony is that if this was just a "hey, check this out" stunt that had no basis in reality then it doesn't help solve the real biases and racist issues that remain but only serves to reinforce the biases of some that this is a non-existent issue. For the sake of those who really do suffer from prejudice I hope the author of this apparent scam is made to apologize.

Don't see why the downvotes, this is a good question.

I have a slightly tangential one, too. I don't understand why this leak (of the source code) is such a big deal. I genuinely don't understand. What exactly can people do with the (the best case) a half-baked game? To exaggerate a bit, these days we get even 'finished' games in such a 'raw' state, people barely want them for free.

As for the negativity. I suppose, one could dig some pieces of the main story lines from the source files, and try to predict how the new story is going to be told. But that would be nothing but a speculation. It is impossible to tell what Rockstar are going to do with the game until we see a finished product. And, to state the obvious again, the game is far from finished.

Drawing conclusions from that early (to say the least) build is ridiculous. Do people on reddit have some extrapolated opinions on GTA 7, too?

To give a minor example of this...

You want to get people to vote for your candidate. So you create social media posts saying the opponent voted against funds that would go to veterans. You don't need to look anything up, you just need to create the post. It's almost certainly true, because EVERY candidate has done this. However, it's extremely misleading...

Your opponent wants to make sure people understand the truth. The truth is that there were several bills that would fund veterans with a small amount of money, but they were all "add-ons" to other bills that did major things that the candidate did not approve of (for example, something like saying no state may provide a drivers license to anyone that is an ex-con). Now, in order make sure people understand the truth, you have to find the cases where the candidate in question voted against money for veterans, explain what the situation behind it was, and why there was "something bigger to consider" in each case.

Vs you, who only had to create a simple post.

The level of effort is in no way balanced.
Taxing Mechanical Engineers and Subsidizing Drama Majors
Yes, I got that, but I don't think it has much to do with Bitcoin being a good store of value. The price of Bitcoin isn't set by the price of electricity.
Eh. It can happen. I know someone who's paid to moderate [1] a "grassroots" brand subreddit. It's just that "you're not real" is easier to believe than "you genuinely think Donald Trump is the prophesied Jewish messiah." Barring conclusive evidence (which rarely [2]) people gravitate in one direction.

I'd guess it's a mix, with a little straight money, a lot of obsession, and a middling amount of compensated cat herding.

[1] The playbook being basically "discuss reasonable criticism, remove unreasonable criticism" ie "nobody talk too much about that battery fire, but don't make it look suspicious."

The prolific "threads" that have supplanted blog posts are one of the worst aspects IMHO. The threads get engagement, and that's addictive, but it's a horrible way to consume information.
Yes, it absolutely is - but the trade off is a far lower risk of introducing breaking changes. Depending on the industry/market/clients - it may be the right tradeoff
Yes. But user space can take dependencies on features we didn’t implement yet or we implemented incorrectly or that have bugs in combinations with other features. E.g., more software is starting to depend on namespace features that we implemented incompletely in earlier versions of WSL1. So Docker worked for a while until they starting using a different subset of kernel features, for example.

At another point, glibc started depending on more precise behavior of CLONE_VFORK, which we originally didn’t implement fully. So essentially all of user space was broken. We fixed it as soon as we could, but I think glibc may have added a workaround, too. I feel bad that the community had to work around our bugs.
Basically, yes, old notes become nonlegal tender. Hyperinflation is resolved by the government issuing a new currency (sometimes with the same name as the old one), and allowing conversion to the new one, at whatever extreme ratio like 10e6 to 1 or whatever. The conversion lasts for a limited time and then any notes existing after that are no longer accepted as fiat currency.
This comment is a great example of the effect Fox News wanted by spotlighting that person.
We do have a Unicode character for a gun: U+1F52B PISTOL. Most fonts that have it choose to style it as a water gun, though.
I left school in the UK about 2 years after the release of the first iPhone. We were always banned from using phones even during breaks. If they were seen they were confiscated.

I can only imagine how distracting phones are today for kids in school, especially with the rise of extremely addictive apps like TikTok.

I think banning them in schools is a good thing and I’m not surprised schools are seeing improvements in behaviour without them.

At a former employer we all used custom built Linux boxes. Made it easier to say "sorry, that doesn't seem to run on Linux" and since most of our code was on Python, Linux was just fine for all of us.

What effect will that have? If some Canadians go underwater on mortgages, won’t others who were priced out be able to afford now? I guess some will lose jobs but what’s the big downside from a country perspective with having cheaper housing? Or are you concerned about immediate effects?
Improving Redistribution Layers for Fan-Out Packages and Sips

Sea of Thieves is fun. It required a pretty big time commitment, so I only play a few days a week (mostly weekends).

The developers do a decent job masking the MVP-ness of the game with mystique and lore. There are certainly improvements that could be made, but overall it’s been a fun experience.

A bonus for me is that it’s relatively kid friendly (excluding some experiences with voice chat, which can be disabled) meaning I can play this game with my kids.
> divided writers into bashers and swoopers...this is bashing -- swoopers tend to free write and edit later

It’s fascinating to see such a similar structure in so many things.

For example, in programming: breadth-first vs depth-first when navigating a tree structure, or in nature: the cycles of the slime mold looking for food.
Ultrakill. It's a game that I've been playing untill my eyes start burning.

The skill ceiling not necessarily high, but it's very demonstrable, with things like shotgun switching, parrying, etc.

If you enjoy boomer shooters- or just violence in general, I could greatly recommend it.

To describe it in brief, it's a sort of mix of Devil May Cry, with it's fast paced combat that involves you mowing down grunts (In a stylish manner), and Doom Eternal, where you.... well, mow down grunts?

It's currently being made by one single developer, and is quite cheap on the game scale coming in at less than 20 euros, if you want to spend a good hour and a half playing something and shutting off your brain, I recommend it.

By the way, there's secrets everywhere ;)
Show HN: Weekly newsletter featuring new startup ideas
I am not sure why this is an elephant at all? Right now schools can use just about any criteria they want. Why would they cede the control of the process at all?
There's an emoji for handgun, but Apple and other big tech decided it needed to be a water gun. There is also a rifle character intended to represent the sport of shooting in a pentathlon, but again Apple threw its weight around and, while the character became codified in Unicode, it never became an emoji and no font from big tech supports it.

Ways to Stand Out

And plenty of people on HN (and elsewhere) swallowed the bait hook, line, and sinker. If you look at the thread on HN from yesterday you'll see plenty of people buying the story unquestionably (though fortunately there were a decent number of people expressing doubt). The problem is that stories like these gain traction and reinforce false narratives about the nature of racial discrimination and other issues.

A lie travels halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on.
"The time before that whenI coded in Scala I found that people would spend 3 days writing something concurrent with Actors that only used 2 out of 8 cores and was rife with error conditions that could be done in 20 minutes with an Executor in Java"

Sounds like you were working with some folks that were just learning the language/idioms (which is admittedly a big hurdle).

I haven't used actors in a very long time. Simple future composition and reactive streams get you very far, at an absolute fraction of the code size and complexity of the equivalent vanilla Java approach (ie: not using Rx).
Yes, SASL support is planned. SQL auth support could be added as well if there is interest.
To be fair, he's an economic historian. I am the OP and thought that this was a really interesting article on inflation, sorry that you don't agree.
> If humanities majors had so much value companies would be paying for them or other nations governments would be recruiting these debt ridden students and poaching them to benefit their own country

They do, all the time: as journalists, economists, political dissidents and, most saliently in this context, programmers. It turns out that obtaining a well-rounded education means that those who can program (or perform other technical roles) do so better than their purely technical counterparts!

You can learn anything online, with enough effort, discipline, and engagement from others. Lots of people try to learn programming (not Computer Science, just the technical aspect of programming) online each year, and I'd wager that the overwhelming majority fair. It turns out that the classroom environment is conducive to learning in ways that self-directed online learning is not!

Yes, it is a value judgment. It is one I stand by: it is reprehensible to eliminate sources of value in our society just because we don't have an instrument capable of measuring them. One wonders how many fewer adolescents and young adults would be inspired to study aerospace should Tom Wolfe have been told to study it instead of writing The Right Stuff; one also wonders whether we'd even be having this conversation over the Internet were it not for a bunch of "worthless" philosophizing in Viennese cafes over the nature of mathematical structure.
Static analysis can catch a `null` being used in a place that wants an Optional. With Optional being fully pervasive in a codebase the `null` concept could effectively be eliminated.
It's always a hard question. If you didn't see the story in the first place this thread doesn't do much except feed confirmation bias about the typical veracity of shocking social media stories. But what fraction of the people who did see the story are going to go back and read a random comment on it the next day?
Just saying "preponderance evidence" doesn't help your point. There isn't any evidence presented by you or Russia for me to consider accepting.

I personally think it's reasonable Ukraine could have fired on targets near the plant ­– it wouldn't be a hard thing to accept if there was information pointing toward it.
I think you refer to the long unemployment.

Crisis time needs to be shortened then. Banks should raise rates firmly, reaching levels higher than inflation. Big companies should not be artificially saved from collapsing, and regulations simplified. The unemployment period will be then short.
I mean, it depends on the sub, but if you expand your definition of "teenager" to include "36 years old, but still emotionally a teenager", then I think you are right.

In my experience, any subreddits with general appeal suffer from the same problem. Just find your niche/hobby subs and stick to them. Stay away from r/pics, news, etc...

You can still have tiny kings in small subs - mods with <10k members who let that "power" go to their heads - but it is more rare.

The word "liberal" means exactly that - showing preference and deference to private enterprise - in the overwhelming majority of the world, as it refers to economic liberalism.
> I am not sure why this is an elephant at all? Right now schools can use just about any criteria they wants. Why would it cede the control of the process at all?

Cause it's racist thus immoral. Some american universities used to do that for jews. It's was bad back then it's still bad now.

"race-conscious admission", what a sweet euphemism for racial discrimination in academia. Just call it something that sounds positive, the hell with our principles.
And now Gen X are included in the anti-boomer rhetoric. Great.

As a tail-end UK Gen Xer, while I have some wealth I have built from working for over 20 years, I missed out on houses costing 2-3x your income just as much as the younger generations did. I'm not sitting on a million dollar property that I paid 10c for in 1972, largely because I wasn't born then...
Honestly it probably deserves the Pluto treatment: decertification as a character. One historical use in the 1400s doesn't merit a character and never did.
What does a name have to do with race? Sounds more like xenophobia.

It might also have to do with how many people from X country are associated with paper mills that publish garbage content. Unfortunately while it pads the individual resume, it washes the credibility of the rest as a whole.

I know from experience that once a lab finds bad data from a country over and over, they ignore anything submitted by that school/group/nation/region.
The existing thread was flagged so no one would be able to see it. And even if they could, it's long since fallen off the front page. The best way to try to undo some of the harm caused by yesterday's false story is to give the follow-up/correction at least equal if not greater prominence.

I know what you are implying here...

All Russians born in Lithuania been offered Lithuanian citizenship, repeatedly, many times over.

Some Russians on the far right of the political spectrum repeatedly imply the contrary. This is not even a conspiracy theory, but a "being debunked in 5 minutes Googling theory."
They don't want to.
it's shady because they are pretending to be a specific person writing something, which they are not. I would not be surprised if the picture shown has nothing to do with who actually writes those reviews.

> If the reviews are adding value (and according to the OP they seem to be), is it much shadier than the Paris Review or the New York Review of Books?

yes because the source producing the review is bogus in this case. Reading book reviews from your (assumed to be a non-famous literary critic!) brother in law vs. a famous book reviewer are two different kinds of value add.

Strava also shares the latitude/elevation during the run.

Anyone have an idea why that could be?
