"A naive solution is to download and store the entirety of Wikipedia; then, all your queries can be local and the server never learns anything. Unfortunately, this takes a lot of bandwidth and storage (~10 GB), so it isn't very practical."

We can pretend this is a large amount of data but that notion becomes less believable each year, as bandwidth and storage capacity keep increasing.

Many of us now stream (=download and throw away) much more than 10GB on a regular basis.

Local databases, where queries never leave the computer or the local network, exclude much of the "tech" industry that survives on monitoring and manipulating computer users through the internet. One would expect strong opposition from "tech" enthusiasts to any suggestion that a computer user can perform work or recreation offline.

"Tech" companies may not be the only ones. There is also that pathetic term "go dark" which hints at more surveillance being done through the internet.

If the computer user disconnects, it leaves many parties high and dry. Spending more time offline might not be a bad thing.

Take personal transportation out of the equation without sufficient replacement and the economy (and quality of life, as well as social peace) will take a massive hit, because so many people rely on it for their needs.

Transitions to better models are great if they are planned and executed well. Suddenly pricing people out of their lifes, because required planning and investment 20 years ago was avoided is not a great way to proceed if you value social peace.

I still use a typewriter for daily correspondence (both personal and business). This reduces the procrastination of editing and allows for more meaningful, personal, and distraction-free writings.

Using a modern word processor definitely allows for better revision / saving / duplication, but most writings shouldn't require so much thought / preparation. Not having a display to distract while thinking definitely allows the author to focus.

The alternative would be to say "we won't evict you as long as you can reasonably demonstrate you're doing your best, and we will use our significant political connections to fight for more government aid and/or price caps on energy". This is what common-good organization landlords ("Genossenschaften") are doing now.

But that is not the point of what is going on here with Vonovia. The "problem" that Vonovia and other landlords face is that rent raises for existing contracts are capped at 15/20% over three years, while new rent contracts are capped at 10/20% above the "average rent" aka Mietspiegel, which is determined by looking at the last years' worth of new rental contracts. The result is that many old rental contracts are sitting far below average rents... and now Vonovia can abuse the current heating cost crisis to evict people and put the units at current market prices.

You talk about wanting to find a solution, so I'd like to share where I think one might be found. Not that I've found it, I just think I know where to look.

The problem with books is that we live in a partially post-scarcity society. Star Trek envisioned post-scarcity everything, but we live in a partially post-scarcity society: Food, pure metals, clean water etc. are all still scarce, but anything that can be digitized is not. Books can be digitized, so they are subject to post-scarcity economics, but most of the author's needs are subject to scarcity economics.

What bridges the these two economies, and where I believe the answer can be found, is in attention. Attention is scarce, but it is also necessary to consume anything in the post-scarcity economy. It exists in both worlds somehow, and I therefore believe it's closely related to the problem of how an author can get paid.

Setup credentials for an S3-compatible bucket and you will have backups + point-in-time-recovery capability. For restores there are a few different options. If you just flat out delete the persistent volumes you will get an automatic restore to latest state in the archive (RPO of ~16MB of transaction log in case of unclean shutdown). Or if you just need to recover some data from a previous state, you can clone a new cluster from backups specifying a timestamp to recover to. Or in case you strictly need to get the same cluster up to a previous state, you can manually exec into the container stick it into maintenance mode and replace the contents with a backup.

No, not the same. It's entirely different role.

Backend logics is business logic, they compose in so many ways, that's why it's "programming language". There's visual programming, but that's not the same as application GUI.
Yes, they do. Still all the OP points apply.
I bought a 120 year old Bechstein on the cheap a few years ago. It’s not in the best shape and the key action is a little bit fucked on some keys. It also has a wooden frame which means it’s liable to go out of tune faster than a more modern variant.

But despite all this, it’s far better than any digital piano because it still fills the room with beautiful sound. And the playing the with slight inconsistencies of the action is part of learning the particular instrument. Though I’m sure this would be annoying to a concert pianist who has to learn the idiosyncrasies on demand, but nonetheless the action feels more delicate and responsive than any electric piano I’ve played. Also ivory keys are superior to plastic in their cold hard tactility.

Fully worth it if you like to play and you have the space. The price of a relatively new and workable condition grand piano is similar to a very good digital one.

I'll first answer in idealized terms. These initial customers should be early adopters. Early adopters don't need to be convinced. They would jump board, because you are offering a solution they have been looking forward to finding.

This is a very romanticized view of starting a business. And, IMHO, this is a formula to build businesses that appeal to VCs. In reality, starting a business begins with listening to potential partners. I don't like to call them customers, because they are not, at this stage. One should test if there are common problems. Validate that these are worth solving. Develop an MVP. Rinse and repeat.
I think that’s the gist actually. Unitarity does seem to raise problems in the cosmos (information loss) but naively violating it by adding a photon gets you this ridiculous paradox of black holes turning into photons. So if you’re going to relax the unitarity assumption, you have to do it carefully. I guess this is their program with isometry.
Perhaps in some broader sense of view I would agree but I don't see traditional sales position shaped around marketing skills. These are usually different positions.

I'm in favour of challenging that assumption only iff we make private renting illegal. No one except the public (i.e. the state) should be able to extract payment upon the unlucky masses that do not have or can't afford their own home.
You will save space and make the language suitable as a format for computer programs to work directly with (saving in, sending to printer etc.). However compared to a binary version, this format probably uses 3 times as much space.

Ask HN: Dealing with a Conflict of Visions
Background: I’m in my 30s. I’ve been a software engineer 8 years, mostly maintaining legacy C/C++ systems. Last year, I wanted something different so I going FAANG as an entry level engineer- building backend micro services. At the time I considered it a huge opportunity! Work with “world class” engineers and have free access to services that I can learn from. Also, the salary is more than I know what to do with. I was humble, eager to learn and ready to grow my craft.

A year later, I think I’ve learned to be a sociopath. I work with 23 yos that are not great, no senior engineer on my team. They are either silver spoon privilege or visa people trying to get citizenship. I delivered big time! It’s clear I’m not entry level. My boss told me so, followed by you’re not at the “bar” yet. I basically yelled at him coming short of telling him I think he’s dead weigh (also new to the team). Basically, I walk around like a rockstar and do what I want. To make it worse when I work with other people they make comments like “how did you figure this out” and feed the ego.

I apologized to my boss. He wants to know why I’m unhappy so he can fix it. The truth is it’s all my expectations. My expectations of grandiosity. My expectations of working with great engineers, rather than building up the people around me. But can’t really admit you’re the problem and then ask for more money.

Sorry, but this is incorrect. An angle is defined through the ratio of two objects with common units; it is dimensionless for the same reason that 5m / 5m is dimensionless. You could argue that radians should only refer specifically to angles, but your own example demonstrates how impracticable that would be: you can't sensibly Taylor expand a trigonometric function (eg, sin(x) ~ x) if the left-hand side and right-hand side have incompatible units.

And - as a side note - my grandfather (born 1885 and dead prematurely in 1936) was originally from a village that in the 1930's was reachable from my city by public transport (train) in around 6-7 hours.

When I was a kid (think of the 60's and 70's) we went there in the summer, and it took us ... the same 6-7 hours, if we used the car it took something less than 3 hours.

Nowadays, that is respectively almost 100 years or 50 years later, guess how much it takes?

I just checked, 6:15 by train, 2:30 by car.

I do know that it is probably an edge case, but one has to think how advancements in technology are actually applied to real world cases.

DRM "Trusted Computing" and spying at the OS level mostly. Your friend will plug in the external hard drive. Their OS will immediately scan the contents, upload filenames/hashes to a server to compare them against anything they consider illegal or unacceptable. Any attempt to play media will require your computer to connect to the internet to verify that you have a valid license for it. Your friend's OS will be 100% cloud based (Windows360 SE) making every device basically a dumb terminal and anything they do on their computer could be watched and analyzed in real time for signs of illegal activity (and market research). Your files may not even be accessible at all for your friends since the OS could stamp each file with an ID and remote attestation could prevent any unauthorized computer/user account from viewing the files. You can't authorize all your friends computers without de-authorizing your own. Limited number of authorizations per year. Any attempts to access unauthorized content could be logged and reported to authorities.

The best leaders are shit-umbrellas. The worst ones are shit-funnels.
Hall isn't who I'm talking about, more the general cultural movement around defining things as, and avoiding, ultra processed foods. It resembles a lot of other niche, contradictory diet movements I've seen, all backed by at least a handful of studies (and almost always with some well spoken PhD at the forefront), whether it's this, ketogenic metabolizing, avoiding poly unsaturated fatty acids, multi day fasts with supplements and salts, intermittent fasting, etc.

These generally tend to appeal to, and also cause massive schisms among the aforementioned granola mom types, much like say, how babies and kids sleep should be handled.

The reason I don't consider these movements all that valuable or useful is that they all seem to don the cloak of empiricism post hoc, after they have decided what they believe, and when it comes to pushing the idea, any relevant study will do, because the research result is effectively a marketing headline, similar to the original article for this thread.

And while Hall may be somewhat convincing, if I lived my life by the advice of every convincing talk I'd ever heard, I'd have to follow a lot of mutually exclusive advice, and with regards to dieting, between Kevin Hall, Ray Peat, and David Sinclair, I'm not sure they'd let me eat enough calorie dense food to survive.

There appears to be windows on only 2 sides of the building, 1 of which is far enough inset to create significant shade.

Depending on what direction the building faces, this could in fact be optimal design for staying cool while still having windows.

Now, of course, the best design for staying cool would be an underground cave carved out of rock with no windows—-but is that really how we want to live?

There is no scalable home design that works without AC when temperatures regularly get to 100-120F with high humidity.

Clicking into the article you see that it was built over the course of five years. And from other comments it seems that ~half of his revenue is from Patreon.

That means that five years of labor has netted a salary of $60K per year (only $30k from YouTube)… Almost certainly that’s top line revenue and not net profit.

Perhaps as an affiliate for travel sites or packaging historical vacation packages.

Europe has offered to fix the alleged "problems" multiple times, bringing their own spare parts and rolling out the red carpet on the off chance that missing parts & personnel due to sanctions are in fact the culprit.

But to no-one's big surprise, Russia has declined. So the conclusion is obvious.

It would of course be interesting to do a 40 page research essay in the style of WaitButWhy every time Russia makes a statement that fails to pass the smell test -- reeeeeeally document in detail why the statement is lower probability than a lie. The problem is, Russian authorities routinely lie, so often that following this strategy would lead to spending all one's time authoring (and then communicating) these explanations. Such a course of action is nothing but playing right along with the intentions of the propaganda.

If Russia one day wakes up and makes a true but surprising statement and no one believes them, they will only have themselves to thank for it.

That German energy politics since March 11 2011 has been a shitshow of incompetence is something we can both agree on, but Russia's present-day capitalization on this mistake is anything but.
