And if you steal $5 from a grocery store if it's your first offense, in my state it's a summary offense punishable by up to 90 days in jail and fine of up to $300 (60x the amount).

The problem with these crimes is that you'll get away with it some multiplier of times you get caught. So if you can do it 20 times and get caught once it doesn't matter if you lost 5x the amount. You're still ahead and can chalk the little fines up to the cost of doing illegal business.
If anyone wants to understand the huge impact paleogenomics is having on writing human history a very good book is "Who We Are and How We Got Here" by David Reich.

It describes the seminal work of Dr. Paabos and many others. The main focus are the 3 big migrations of hominids to Europe (early nomadic settlers, farmers from Anatolia and the corded culture/horse riders from South-Central Asia).

The book also discusses the inter-breeding of Neanderthals and Sapiens, Denisovarian and Sapiens, the migrations and castes/class system that shaped the ethnic diversity on the Indian subcontinent and the surprising genetic evidence of colonization of South America by Pacific islanders.

It is mind blowing stuff...

> Turkish officials say that their measures will bring inflation down in the coming months, but many economists disagree and expect consumer prices to rise and the lira to fall further into next year.
Well yes, how would you buy them if you literally can't buy them? That's pretty sound logic alright.
Oh god this is worrying. Fandom has already made Wikia an absolutely unusable, ad ridden nightmare, to the point many communities set up their own wikis to avoid dealing with it.

I hope they don't apply that same monetisation to GameSpot, GameFAQs, etc. Otherwise those sites will die almost overnight.

I’m not sure if this is a helpful comment. Yeah the dose matters. Do you have any numbers on the contamination levels of this site?
Groundwater/soil contamination is notoriously hard to measure and the variance can be much bigger than the average. Given this history of government obfuscation around this issue, would you even trust their numbers? The concern is based on risk which needs to factor in more than the latest government estimate.

Turkey’s problems goes further than a simple interest rate increase.

Even if they increased the interest rates, they would still have substantial inflation.

Truth to be told I don’t think such third world economies can ever recover. It is too late for the patient.

Parent of a young family with two kids (6, 2). We moved to a lower cost of living city because we simply couldn’t make it work back “home” where my parents were — and even then, they were an hour drive away within a suburb from our desired living location.

We’ve been afar two years now. It’s a short flight (2 hrs) and my parents live quite close to the airport, so we see them about four times a year.

This is still not enough but their plan is to move where we are once they can retire in 2 or so years.

What’s been hardest is parenting without parental support. Wife and I have had to really make an effort to build community with our neighbours, school parents, etc. In two years we have built a good foundation, which is a life saver! It really does take a village and I feel we’ve forgotten how to form that village. (The challenge was exacerbated due to COVID lockdowns)

Hardest days are long weekend holidays when all the neighbours and friends go visit family (nearby). It’s usually not worth for us to fly so we stay in the quiet city. Sometimes it’s great, other times it’s hard and I miss my family.

Either way, we just booked Christmas flights and we’ll be with them for two weeks. I’m looking forward to it.

Loved this article. We live 10 minutes from my parents and see them several times a week. It makes life so much easier and more fulfilling. Our kids have a great time with “poppy and grandma” (and my wife and I can go on a date). And as they got older (early 70s) it’s nice to be around to chat about health concerns or have a little party for birthdays, etc.

Ironically, living near family is a privilege that wealthier and more educated people are less likely to enjoy. My wife’s family pretty much all lives within a 2 hour radius of the old family homestead on the Oregon coast. Holidays are great—we just rent an AirBnB and everyone comes and visits.
> This one is truly outrageous - "depict"??? There goes 5/6 of human culture. I seriously doubt you can find much literature or cinema that doesn't "depict [...] hatred or discrimination of protected groups or individuals".

Of course the policy as written is outrageous, dumb, and silly even by clown world standards. You couldn't make Roots or many other thought-provoking works today with a proper reading of that policy.

However, the real goal of this policy probably isn't to dictate actual policy into stone tablets for the masses to follow. The real goal of the policy probably is to give PayPal carte-blanche to do whatever the hell they want to dictate culture and impact politics without getting sued.

If you become annoying or a political adversary of PayPal's management, they can find something to ban you and hurt you with.

If you technically violate the policy, but aren't their opposition, I'm sure you will be ignored.
I’m going to prod a little bit: share it with your neighbors as well! If there is a block party or something see if you can perform or play some recordings. Who knows, maybe there’s someone within walking distance that wants to jam! You neighbors will appreciate living in such a creative community!

There was a demo for a horror game called P.T. on PS4 made by Kojima. It got cancelled and the demo was eventually delisted from libraries preventing players from re-downloading it. The only way to play it is if you already downloaded it prior to delisting and never uninstall it. For a short while there was a way to download it via a web link, but Sony eventually shut that down.
Probably a made up story for a twitter thread.

I’d like to think I made ethical decisions along the way. I won’t disclose more details here, but I was very vocal about my concerns with the project and “team” and I used official social accounts to publicly warn EMAX’s audience to be careful.

I still feel pretty guilty for being associated in any way.

There is nothing that proves I’m not just making this up. I’m happy to cooperate, but not under pressure.
> It’s simply not realistic for all those vehicles to need to do 45 minutes of charging.

But in your example there are two long periods of time where the cars are stationary, right? They're parked all day while partying and parked all night when they're staying at a hotel. Any pauses in the driving can also come with charging up.
Yeah, I kinda agree the last paragraph didn’t make much sense. I would add though:

- China and India have had quite different problems to solve over the last 80 years or so.

- China got ‘lucky’ recently with a few good leaders (in the sense that the country developed massively under them) in a row. But it seems that Xi isn’t such a good leader in that sense (he is in the sense of consolidating power and becoming leader for life). But the narrative in the west may not have caught up yet with the idea that China doesn’t have some magical super-competent government. It’s maybe harder to tell if they’ve been lying about population and gdp and suchlike.

- I think it’s more accurate to say that democracies allow bad leaders to be removed rather than that they allow good leaders to come to power.

Around that time, I attended an offsite of a larger private equity firm and there was a organizational psychologist who gave a talk on work life balance. He said something I'll never forget. He said that you have about ten to twelve years to connect with your kids and then they turn into teenagers, tune you out, then turn into adults and build their own lives. I thought about my kids who were five, three, and a baby and realized that time was short and I needed to be present in their lives in every way that I could.

Everything including reproduction is useless.

I don't know about you but I started programming because of Minecraft and learning about running a business by playing prosperous universe and this gave me some insights that make me suspect that money and it's non neutrality is the biggest unrecognised problem in economics. Remember economics 101 doesn't even have the concept of money or time. In fact econ 101 is an utopia that we want to reach, not how economics works in practice.

Positive reinforcement is worth more than people complaining that you are wasting your time by doing the wrong thing. People on HN say you should be curing cancer instead of building a factory in factorio. The former is a poorly defined multidimensional non linear search space with high chance of failure, the latter is a well studied problem with tutorials and guides. That is negative reinforcement.

Conversion isn't the best metric though for many ads. The big advertisers don't care about conversion because they are not trying for customers today, they are trying for mind share so when someone thinks about buying they are on the list.

Conversion is a lot easier to measure than "buys your car sometime in the next 3 years", and is worth measuring. However it is often only a proxy for the real metric.
When a country’s inflation rate hits 83% I feel like the conventional wisdom of raising interest rates to match or exceed the inflation rate won’t work. They’ve already lost control of the situation.

"Project Template for Ultralight in Go"

It looks like the 300LoC simply wrap around ultralight and add a few boilerplate pieces. All the hard work of making "a lightweight alternative to Electron" is done by Ultralight, not whatever this repo is.

I haven't heard of Ultralight until 5 minutes ago, but it annoys me when some developers think they can build a tiny react app project template and then claim they created react. Or in this case, add a tiny wrapper around Ultralight and then claim they created a "lightweight alternative to electron". This repo doesn't do that.

I had this conversation randomly with a friend, I was George.

It surprised me how hard this hit them, and that they've talked about it many times since then because yeah, its just a little strategic thinking about the world.
Maybe this deserves a blog post, but I'm lazy. So here is the back story from 10,000 feet.

I worked for a company that basically gave me 80% time. 20% of my time was supporting the products we already launched, the other 80% was experimenting and coming up with new products.

I was blogging kind of regularly back then (once every week or so), on a subdomain without any actual backlinks other than from a few "no-index" and "no-follow" links on social media. So technically my website should not have been in the top page for any search term and I shouldn't have had ANY traffic, but it usually was #1 or #2 for various WordPress and jQuery related searches (I had a couple of jQuery plugins and wrote some php hacks that eventually took down millions of websites), and I got 10k monthly visitors on average.

So I started looking into WHY I was the top result of those queries, and it was because when someone landed on my site with that query, the bounce rate was only 10-30% compared to most other sources being 85-90% bounce. The exact technical meaning of a bounce is lost on me now, but it had to do with how long you stayed on the site without leaving or if you click on other internal links for the site.

So I proposed to the owner of the company, I would create a "Click Faker". It would go to google on your local PC, it would then search for a term you wanted to rank, then it would navigate the top 10 pages, if it found you, it would click your link, then spend 2-5 minutes navigating around your site before closing the window.

I first tried this with Selenium (or an equivalent back then), and Google blocked it almost immediately. So then I hacked together a headless version of chromium, with some standard but randomly generated user agent, and eventually expanded it to IE and Firefox as well.

And the marvelous thing is it WORKED! And surprisingly well. BUT you had to get your site in the top 100 results, and be running google AdSense before it would work. It also proved what we had long suspected that google would rank sites with Adsense higher than a website without (probably because of telemetry data they could gather).

The concept worked, we launched the product, and got a few dozen subscribers over the next month, BUT the demand just never materialized, and after 6 months we started seeing diminishing returns as google started captcha-ing our requests, and eventually it was no longer useful and we shuttered it.

Without a large enough network of consumer PCs on consumer internet, it was doomed to fail. The network needed to be around 1000 users before it would work. We even tried giving away free limited accounts (20 visits/day for free if you ran the script, and it stacked, so if you had 3 different PCs on 3 different ISPs - home/work/mom & dads house/etc - you would get 60 visits/day).

Ultimately, I think there wasn't enough education around it, and nothing we did marketing wise really helped.
Don't be too harsh. People have their own busy lives and perhaps relationships are often made when they are convenient.

Also, too, sometimes the strength of the relationship is in a shared context — like co-workers. When a co-worker moves on, goes to another company, retires, there is less to chat about were you to meet up later, less shared context.

Your oldest friends though will often always have that shared context of having grown up with you in the same environment, same "era". You act as a foil to one another in the degree to which you turned out differently (also to the degree you stayed similar). Your eyes and theirs will gaze upon the same landscape from the same vantage point: "Look at those kids and their phones, we were out riding bikes when we were their age." (Ha ha, etc.)
Ask HN: Why is BuildZoom always hiring a principal engineer?
Is this principal engineer the head of a new division? Replacing the old one? A "senior" engineer but with title inflation? "Principal" implies that there's only one position to fill, so it's curious that this particular job ad is so common.
This is something I think about semi-frequently. Not in these specific words, but how in an ideal world I'd love to live a half hour or so away from my parents, and my siblings. This just isn't possible. Not because of jobs, there are quite a few tech jobs in the area now, and if I lived in SLC I'd even have a decently urban life.

It isn't possible because my family is scattered to the four winds. Various siblings are all over the world. It also isn't possible because the world has grown so hostile. I'm trans so living near my parents would be at best uncomfortable for me, at worst it would be dangerous, and soon possibly illegal (banning access to hormones, etc).

A solution could be to OCR the site and overlay the actual recognized text on the site as HTML items that can be hidden but useful for Google index the contents.

I can see the pain and friction that doing that manually would entail though.
When you’re competitive it can be enough to be just a bit harder to crack than the competition. The bots may just choose another advertising platform as the target.
HN rarely comes up with articles and posts that talk about the importance of family. I think I have counted three in 10 years being here.

But those posts are most striking and upends my entire view on life.

I don't know about useless, certainly keeps your mind and dexterity sharp.
I would elaborate a bit more by saying that I think that the amount of time that we spend with our parents and our relatives in general needs to change throughout our lives.
In our early years we see them a lot because we need them. Then we reach a point were to keep growing as people it is beneficial to see them only a little. Or at least this is my experience: I'm now studying abroad because I realized that I reached the maximum growth that I could reach by having my family around, and that I needed to stay away from them for a while to keep growing. After having new experiences and thus having (almost) completed my personal growth, I may consider seeing them more often in the future.
> because her hand is better than his at every single point.

That's the point that hits me every time. It really seems like his claim is that her cards are shit and the hands she can make are marginal at best and he put her all in. So that should tell her his hand is better and she should fold. But she doesn't, she calls. And from here that makes him believe she has a hand already. But she doesn't, she has Jack high. To his 8 high.

So his hand isn't better, he's trying to not go to the river and have to find out if he actually has a hand. He's essentially lambasting her for also having nothing but less nothing than him.

She chooses the wrench because, fuck him, that's why.
