If you’re near a busy area looking out the window to see how others are dressed for the weather is one option.

Sometimes one has to think strategically. Wearing clothing to get from A to B, one also has to think about going from B back to A several hours later, and how conditions might change.
>I mean I think that incorporation has a clearer constitutional basis than heller, but I see your point

I hold the opposite view as you can probably tell.

>It also doesn't help that the constitution is unpleasantly vague in many places.

I think the problem is people have a misconstrued understanding of the role of the federal government based on erroneous court decisions.

We are now in a situation where people think the federal government can do anything except what is banned in the Constitution. This is one of the reasons why some of the founders were opposed to the Bill of Rights. They knew this exact situation would happen. Instead of thinking the government is allowed to do what is granted to them (enumerated powers) people now think the government can do anything that is not banned.

The federal government is allowed to do 27 things and nothing more. The courts have consistently allowed the government to do more and more and interpreted things exactly opposite of what it says (Wickard v Filburn for example).

Another issue is some people look at other countries and assume the US federal government should be able to act in the same way. We see this all the time. We have people saying the US is the only developed country without X. The problem is X isn't supposed to be done by the federal government, you have to look at what the States do.

Sorry about rambling. Not sure if I fully responded to you.
I think most people prefer having all of this functionality integrated in one place.
I must be some of the few persons in the world which enjoy ads in FB, I can even confess that I sometimes log there to search if there any attractive offers regarding to clothing or vacations. It centralizes many offers of different services I’m looking for, but I am very lazy to actively search for them.
IMO the drop is due to the loss in confidence of the shareholders on the vision of the company.

> I disagree that the part in parentheses follows logically from the part outside the parentheses

Me too, it does not! It's the reverse, the part in parentheses is what causes the larger part. Say I want water. A case of water bottles is a lot "cheaper short-term" than a single, reusable, water bottle. That's an example of the parenthetical, I'm sure you can think of many more. Now, look at how it connects to the part of the sentence outside of the parenthetical, and directly before it: "the more you must go for things that are cheap at the expense of other things"

So for example, if I were poor enough, I'd buy cases of water instead of a water bottle, EVEN IF I knew the single use water bottle was better for the environment and a better choice long-term! Note that I do NOT assert that most or even many poor people, given more money, would switch to reusable water bottles on their own (hence the "government intervention" bit). If you're confused by the first half of that sentence, think of it this way: if I have $10 and you have $1000, which of us can buy more plastic?

> I disagree that the part in parentheses necessarily represents the economic strategy of poor people

This really isn't about poor people being the most environmentally conscious or the least environmentally conscious. It's about "this box of pads costs the cheapest so I'll buy it". Even if you imagine a tree-hugging poor person looking at a diva cup thinking "this is cheaper long-term and it's better for the environment", if they don't have the money for it, or if spending that money means not eating for quite a while, then they're not going to buy it.
Yes, but why collect it in the first place then? Unless you're thinking of using the stored energy later when stars are dead, which might in fact be something an advanced civ might want to do... You'd likely need some form of direct energy-to-matter conversion more efficient than mere fusion to be able to use even a small fraction of a star's energy output.

That is so odd, after all Safari is known to have wide support for everything. /s
I think that one major difference is that the iPhone supported an "easy" way to do software updates, which was never a thing prior to smartphones.

Remember that the iPhone wasn't really that good at launch, either. No copy/paste, no App Store, etc. There is a scene in the movie Sex and the City, which was filmed pre-launch (right?). One character hands an iPhone to the other, who looks at it for a few seconds and says something along the lines of "I don't know how to use this" and hands it back.
Yet both Netflix and Disney+ are introducing cheaper ad-supported tiers. Consumers want cheaper services, at the cost of advertising.

Hacker News lives in a bubble of users that understand and value privacy, knows about browsers such as Brave, etc. The rest of the world just wants their influencer content.
Yep. Can they talk at length and in reasonable detail about previous projects they've worked on? You can usually figure out if they were actively engaged and involved in the work vs ...just kinda there.

Also, do they try to BS you when you ask them something they don't know...

The "traditional" coding interview is really only appropriate for a college student/new grad with no work history to lean on. Even then, there's probably a better way...
> Or a pair of glasses that give you multiple 24 inch 4k screens that you could work on all day.

This is my current experience and I have no desire to simulate it.

I've only every toyed with VR and the demos were pretty cool and gaming seems promising, but to my mind, we're already a bit too far into this latest wave of VR (I'd say the first one was the late 80's into the 90's) to call it early, and it seems pretty niche still.
I'm sorry, but Russia, just like Canada, will not have increased crop yields from warming. It will (and does) have massive forest fires, drought, and erratic winters which swing from warm/hot to extreme cold within days.

You know what is even worse for farmers than a cold climate? An unpredictable one. It's damn hard to pull a profit farming if you can't rely on any kind of 'normal' growing conditions from year to year.

An increase in mean temperature isn't a neat and tidy "oh, we'll just move north"; it's on the whole an increase in variance.

I'm seeing it happen here in Canada, and I'm certain we'll see it in Siberia as well.

In the end, petro-regimes like Russia, Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Alberta, whatever... they'll become more and more paranoid and erratic and dysfunctional as the broader crisis around 'energy' deepens. We're right now seeing our first war triggered by a cornered petro-regime on the cusp of climate catastrophe. I suspect we'll see more.
Red Hat is the poster child for that approach and they charge for support based on per-core usage with audits / legal teams to back it up, no different to Oracle.
It's only lying if he doesn't believe it. And he demonstrably does. He has a whole division at Tesla designing a humanoid robot for mass production in the next few years on the assumption that the AI will be ready by then. He keeps removing sensors from their cars on the assumption that AI can replace them in a few months' time. He started a brain implant company with basically no near term market potential because he believes it will be important for interfacing with the upcoming AIs. If he didn't believe his own statements about AI he wouldn't be doing those things. It may be borderline delusional, but that's not the same thing as lying.

Consider that in the past plenty of other people in the industry have underestimated things that he's overestimated, such as the potential for reusable rockets, and the timeline for electric cars becoming viable, and the timeline for low-cost phased array antennas to support Starlink. And those have been incredible success stories for him, despite his initial overestimation, which really was overestimation, that many called stupid at the time, with some justification. And AI may yet turn out that way too. Even if he's wildly optimistic about timelines, he may still end up closer to correct than the conservative establishment in the industry which has a very strong status quo bias, like with disposable rockets and internal combustion engines.

Google's new service helps Web3 developers build for blockchain-based platforms
Most websites are completely trivial to host. e.g. from what I can find, Reddit only gets ~8k page views/second, and only has 13B posts/comments total? An old archive of the site had ~1.7B posts/comments at ~1TB uncompressed, meaning you could fit every text post today on a few SSDs and host the whole site for the price of a high end gaming computer (or a couple of them for redundancy) and an unmetered connection.

In our modern world of user generated content and incredible hardware, any nerd could host even the most popular sites as a relatively cheap hobby. The only thing making them non-trivial is... all of the infrastructure for the ads, spying, and control. That and image/video hosting, which could be done through something like ipfs if it were integrated into browsers.
This! The single threaded event loop is a great model for UI development but it’s a train wreck for handling http requests. I’ve spent the last year adding features to and fixing bugs on various micro services written in Java where the authors decided to use the new shiny reactive frameworks in attempt to turn Java into NodeJS. On a number of occasions I’ve been in meetings where the original authors got lost in their on maze Just Single madness.

The worst part is these were “Staff Engineers” who I know never did any type of analysis/engineering to show these frameworks provided any type of advantage over the more traditional threaded frameworks when considering runtime performance, resource requirements, understandability and maintainability.
Hm. I've been a facebook user since the beginning. My silver lining here is that the company has a history of making very unpopular decisions that end up being very profitable. Deservedly or not, people love to hate facebook, even people who use its products regularly.

> The recent abortion ruling disagrees with you.

While it is in many ways the main provision that gives meaningful impact to rights both in and beyond the BOR (though the 13th Amendment competes with it on that front, since if people can be treated as property instead of people, they have no rights) by applying them to the main locus of government authority, the states, which the BOR itself neglected to do, the 14th Amendment, which was at issue in Dobbs, is not part of the Bill of Rights.

So Dobbs doesn’t illustrate an assault on the Bill of Rights so much as its irrelevancy in the absence of subsequent amendments.
There are breaking changes - but they tend to be very granular, and typically occur after a few rounds of deprecation. Renaming a bunch of core functions, and doing something radical (like, deleting the `$` prefix requirement) would break every single line of code, in every function, and in every library. It would be Python 3 all over again.

Whereas... imagine if Python 3 rolled out simply as an optional "mode of operation" on top of Python 2. If you opt-in on this particular file, the syntax requirements are different. Obviously that would prevent some deeper changes, but it would help modernize the language without as much of a radical break.
bullied how? it's easier to get bullied when you have an office space, they harass your employees. it's easier to get bullied when you sell products/service, they stop your money flow. what/how do you envision them bullying Signal?
To some extent, I agree.
I am far too lazy and morally I feel an obligation to disable adblocking for sites I visit and derive value from. But I always forget or don't bother. So yeah, I'm ripping off those sites.

But my ad blocker's primary purpose is to keep me safe and sane when I stray from my regularly-visited sites. I often do this while checking references at Wikipedia. I have no obligation to feed those sites ad revenue, and they have no right to run/download unwanted content on my system.
Do you want to elaborate a bit more? Which features that you saw as footguns.
I am literally harmed by ads. In my case, I suffer from internet addiction you see and those extra load seconds and interruptions are deeply harmful to me. They trigger anxiety and panic attacks.

But that’s just me. Other people are harmed way more! Maybe you can wave away my ad inducted anxiety but can you wave away people with epilepsy? Can you wave away people with ADHD? Can you wave away people with accessibility needs? Can you wave away people unwillingly outed as lgbt by the ads they are served? Can you wave away predatory ads? Can you wave away “making the world worse” through ad enabled miss information?

As for lettuce I am allergic to it. I will literally die if I don’t remove it.

Your move.
The obvious difference is that banks make at least the bare minimum effort to prevent being complicit (KYC). Ethereum validators do not, but there is the argument that there are not tools to effectively do that yet.

Please don't do this, it's not safe, despite it "existing" as an option. Even a binary download is better than suggesting brew on Linux.
Thanks for those links.

This virtual visit mentions that, because it shows a similar experiment being done now (I suppose they're trying to find if there are more voids that could be hidden chambers)
It's interesting though that both radio and TV switched to pay models: cable/premium channels and Sirius/XM for radio. Billboards are providing anything to the user, they're just giant signs that say "go buy this"
I would argue that at least at the time that webpage was written and maintained, none, of them (including the standard) got timestamps right. In the above case timezone is actually an offset.

Arguably, timestamp with timezone should store a timestamp plus a tz_database time zone. Storing offsets is easy and useful but not necessarily correct. Timestamp with Offset should be a different type.

Validating all of those rules would be a hairy mess. For example, what do you do with a timestamp in the future when changes are introduced (negative leap seconds, changes to DST, geopolitical changes affecting timezones).
That this is news reflects only the reluctance of much of world leadership to acknowledge it. Anybody paying attention has known for over a decade that a +1.5C limit is out of reach.

The question the world faces now is whether the 3C rise we're actually going to get is enough to trigger non-human forcing through various feedback loops dumping carbon into the atmosphere in the form of CO2 and CH4, to require runaway warming as the future.

I'm not optimistic.

Zuck clearly believes in his vision, but Meta is not the vessel to do it. It would be best if spins out the VR R&D operation, and devoted his energies full-time to this in a completely separate organization.

If not, I predict he will grudgingly agree to a "pullback" on VR ... or will be forced to step back as Meta CEO.

Flatten the damn thing and process it relationally. Linear data scans and copying are so fast on modern hardware that it doesn't matter. It's counterintuitive for people to learn that flattened nested structure with massive duplication still processes faster than that deeply nested beast because you have to chase pointers all over the place. Unfortunately that's what people learn at java schools and they get stuck with that pointer chasing paradigm for the rest of their careers.
> Another common ways to use matrices is element-wise, where you refer to x[i][j]. Mathematicians expect i to be the row and j to be the column. Which matches C. Whilst Fortran does it the other way around.

That’s not quite it. The fact that the row index is first is purely a convention. And by convention, i in In X(i,j) in some Fortran code is still the row index.

The difference with C is the layout in memory, not the semantics: the fact that X(i+1,j) is contiguous to X(i,j) in Fortran and not in C, which means that for efficiency reasons inner loops in Fortran are over row indices rather than column indices as in C.

It would have been odd for Fortran, which has been since the beginning a language for numerical calculations, to “not match what mathematicians expect”.

I ignore ads, but do occasionally buy stuff from Facebook ads. For example, I ordered some guitar picks. I like that if I am interested I can look at the comments and get some immediate reviews and discussion about the product.
So stop contracting the work out. Have a government department handle it instead of just chucking it off to the lowest bidder
Hey, quick question, I just noticed the subtitle of Diamond Age is "A Young Lady's Illustrated Primer" - are there actually illustrations in the book that I'd be missing if I bought the Audiobook rather than a printed copy?
The article does read like a political hack job. I'm not denying the individual stories. Just that it is logical to make conclusions about the greater company from a few people with a grievance.

Indeed, the high profitability suggests that the people working there can function pretty well and work together efficiently. The company didn't win the lotto. Every few pennies the company earned must come from a very complex supply chain working correctly so that car drivers will buy gas from Exxon and not a competitor. There might be some individual pockets of toxic behavior, but I submit that the profits show that they're few and relatively rare.

Except very few things are free.

That lettuce company is making revenue somehow, or it will go out of business anyways. In which case the world ends up in exactly the same spot.

So lets make the analogy closer to real life - the lettuce company funds the burger making because everyone MUST eat a salad at least one a day, using lettuce they have paid for with real money. This company wants it to be their lettuce. So they fund the burgers, and make up for it by charging more for their lettuce.

You see my point? Some small subset of folks might end up getting a free burger, but it's at the cost of many other purchasers choosing to buy lettuce with a higher markup.

The lettuce company (ad companies) aren't some fucking fairy tale good guy handing out free stuff - they're very carefully adjusting the habits of shoppers to make MORE money. They are not good - the world is not less good by avoiding them.
There's another Android 13" eink tablet I know of, the Bigme X6 but the Onyx Boox Max Lumi or Max Lumi 2 are both cheaper and should basically do the same thing (load any Android apps). The Fujitsu Quaderno A4 is an option too but it only supports loading PDFs and has no third party apps (w/o rooting it).

The Dasung Paperlike 3 HD or Onyx Boox Mira are 13.3" monitor solutions as well, something to consider if you want to hook them up just as output to run w/ arbitrary software (both companies have 25" versions as well).
Maybe.

"Current Autopilot features require active driver supervision and do not make the vehicle autonomous."

It’s clear they are working toward full self driving but it’s not there yet.

"The future use of these features without supervision is dependent on achieving reliability far in excess of human drivers as demonstrated by billions of miles of experience, as well as regulatory approval, which may take longer in some jurisdictions. As these self-driving capabilities are introduced, your car will be continuously upgraded through over-the-air software updates."

Beyond that, this is becoming more and more common in other languages. Anyone who ever touches TypeScript will immediately recognize it, for example, or (with a bit more of a stretch) Java/C#/Kotlin/Scala data classes and records.

Of the amount of CO2 released each year by humans (~30gt), only about half persists in the atmosphere. The other half is re-absorbed by the biosphere.

This is based on estimated total biosphere emissions, estimated human emissions, and annual CO2 PPM increases. I did some math on that and wrote it up here if anyone wants to dig deeper: https://biotinker.dev/posts/climate1.html

In the case of the zero-emission miracle, atmospheric CO2 levels would start dropping at about the same rate they are currently climbing. As you mention, there is climate lag and feedbacks, but the "return to normal" would start fairly quickly.
I wouldn't call that reliance. Compare with advertising as share of Google or FB revenue.
