Absolutely agree, but have to add a small nitpick:

50mm primes used to be lightweight. The trend is towards Sigma Art / Zeiss Milvus/Otus dimensions, and that means much better edge sharpness but ~1kg in weight.
To be fair, it looks terrible to you (and to me), but there are plenty of people who have no issue with it. Just like there's people who get agida when there's things like toasters that sit out on the kitchen counter, but a lot of people think it's fine.
Open the case and use a leaf blower.
Definitely. I would argue even in shell scripts it's not always great. Just thinking about all those times rm -rf "~/${configdir}" accidentally wiped someone's home directory because that unset variable was implicitly turned into an empty string, etc.

I would not want to use a language with a spongy type system for any code I'm distributing to other people But for quick one-off scripts that only I will use, it is quite convenient.

I haven't read Lifton's book, and I don't want to imply agreement with any particular claim, but he is certainly correct that there were lots of implausible details about the autopsy, and especially with the official summary of the autopsy. It wasn't a physician who came up with the "magic bullet" theory, it was Arlen Specter, a cipher whose later continuing political success is inexplicable except in reference to his role on the Warren Commission.

The best book to read now is JFK and the Unspeakable, by James Douglass. If a book like that doesn't fit into your life right now, either of the recent Oliver Stone documentaries are great. I believe that "JFK: Destiny Betrayed", which I watched through tears, is a longer version of "JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass".

The rich doesn’t care about the price of milk. They care about the price of stocks, bonds, real estate, etc. which make up the bulk of their purchases. These assets have experienced deflation over the period you are pointing to the price of milk inflating. CPI inflation isn’t a tax on the cash held by the wealthy.
This first appeared no later than 2007¹, and is replete with mild anachronisms. I personally find this kind of silent re-purposing of old articles offensive; it adds chaos to scholarship and seems at least somewhat dishonest.

> How would you ever again close doors that it needs to go through?

Most interior doors have a gap between the bottom of the door and the top of the floor, and you can cable in the gap if you don't mind the look. If the threshold is carpetted, you can often squish the wire into the seam where the carpet meets the door frame.

You can get one, maybe two, runs into a room that way, so don't put your central switch in a room like that, and if you need more than one drop in a room, put a switch in the room.
But you still need that money to keep up with inflation.

If you have a billion dollars under the mattress and inflation is 3% you've lost 30 million dollars in spending power. That dwarfs anything you would spend on food yes. And the next year another 30 million, and the next year.

So you need to invest to protect it from inflation, so inflation is relevant. The percentage they spend on food and stuff today is negligible. But you invest to keep it that way. Because once it becomes non negligible it's too late.
What about bi-directional vs running two fibers? Will this increase latency, even if negligible?

I think it'll fizzle out. Hydrogen has too many disadvantages. Storage is difficult. Hydrogen will diffuse through most materials. Hydrogen can't be sensed by people, so you need special sensors throughout the vehicle and any filling stations. It burns with an almost invisible flame, and it burns in a very wide range of air/fuel mixtures. It's far more flammable than gasoline. You have to build out completely new infrastructure (unlike EVs that only require improving the capacity of our existing electrical grid). Oh, and hydrogen is expensive, and that's if you make it from natural gas (which creates CO2). If you want to use electrolysis of water, the price goes way up. At that point you're using hydrogen as an extremely inefficient battery that can't be charged with the existing power grid.
For many people (including myself), it's not about rehab, it's not about penance, it's about keeping someone like this away from everyone else. He's a killer - he doesn't care about anyone's rights but his own.

I would put harm prevention above penance. Penance is just a tool that promotes caring, ideally before said harms become permanent.

What we ultimately want is that people who don't murder. Also, as someone noted, you probably reading too much into it.

That's right. And that's why we put people who do things like smoke the devils lettuce or sniff a little columbian snow in there. To keep these menaces away from the rest of us.

I mean, can you imagine? People just walking around doing what they please to their own bodies and not providing slave labor to the state or private prison corporations? The absolute horror!
Hearing didn't develop in humans. We inherited it. Trying to figure out why that was more useful than any other signal out there our ancestors could have developed the capability to perceive is inherently just spitballing. We can't possibly know. But at minimum, it is fairly simple to also create sound. As far as I know, hearing predates vocalization, but once a species learns the latter, the former becomes a lot more useful and is going to stick around.

Other animals can perceive magnetic fields, by the way. This is at least used by deep sea predators that live in the dark who sense the presence of prey by the electricity their bodies generate. Migratory birds use the earth's magnetic field to navigate long distances. It would appear neither of those use cases was enough of a killer app for our ancestors and thus didn't stick. Product market fit is all about filling the right niche at the right time. Plenty of great ideas don't make it that could have in other circumstances.

And, of course, as other comments pointed out, though we don't perceive magnetic fields, we do perceive electromagnetic waves. That's what light is.

What do you think can be done to change the attitude of people who used to think like you? Nothing but a similar experience to the one you had, direct contact with it? I guess that's what you suggest at the end of your comment.

That's great that your congregation did such a thing and reached out to you and you took the opportunity.

Your comments about outsourcing human lives to an alternative universe invisible seems to me very observant. Have your attempts to talk about what you saw ever done anything to change the imagination of those who you are talking to?
> typically two phases of 120V

It's still single phase, one AC sine wave. The transformer supplies power using three current carrying conductors, two hots, and a neutral. The voltage, or potential difference, between the two hots is 240V. The neutral is a center tap on the transformer, and the voltage between each of the hots and the neutral is 120V. This allows circuits to use either or both 120/240V.

You are correct, however, in your math for total capacity.
Looking at history, I'm not sure this is a reasonable argument. Vast numbers of governments have gone down this path, and not only authoritarian ones. Yet there's no need for a 'bad' government to rely on the death penalty or whatever else. Disappearing people is the normal method operandi. It's faster and reduces the chances of somebody becoming a martyr.

And incidentally, indefinite detention without trial or representation, of US citizens, was legalized in 2012 [1]. An initial legal case against it managed to obtain a permanent injunction against indefinitely detaining US citizens. That victory was tossed out by a higher court who ruled that the plaintiffs lacked the standing for a preemptive challenge to the law. So they need to be indefinitely detained, then when released (if ever) they might be allowed to challenge the constitutionality of the law. Great system.

> Here in the UK I don't think it is

The European Convention on Human Rights article 3 is being interpreted as declaring life imprisonment (without chance of parole) inhumane[1]. Assuming the UK is a signatory (fairly sure they are), it would be prohibited there, though it's up to the European Court on Human Rights to rule (iirc in Luxembourg) and then your own country to care about executing that judgement against itself. Russia is also a signatory to the ECHR which I find really interesting.

There is also a right to privacy (article 8) and it doesn't discriminate whether the person happens to be an EU citizen. There are so many things in this convention, that seem like really basic human rights, that are just not a thing in the USA. Boggles my mind that we just accept all of that without blinking and continue treating it like an example, or that people (even people living in Europe!) want to move there[2].

Skaftö wreck's cargo tells a tale of 15th century trade routes
It's not so much about "the ABI vote", it's the larger direction summarised in P2137 ("Goals and priorities for C++"")

As I understand it, P2137 was written to explicitly spell out the requirements so that there's an actual document saying C++ should prioritise safety and performance over compatibility, which WG21 voted against - making firm the fact that's not what C++ is about.

Left to its own devices, WG21 prefers ambiguity. This is infuriating if you need X, and you tell people "I need X, I can't get that from C++" and they will tell you "No, I'm sure you can have X, maybe the committee just doesn't understand your need" and wasting your time. It needed writing down on paper to ensure there's no room for that ambiguity.

Summary

Research has shown that the Skaftö wreck had probably taken on cargo in Gdansk in Poland and was heading towards Belgium when it foundered in the Lysekil archipelago around 1440. Modern methods of analysis of the cargo are now providing completely new answers about the way trade was conducted in the Middle Ages.
So it isn't just me then! There was this one time, I downloaded a piece of porn in h.265 .mkv and I wanted to change its container to mp4 using ffmpeg(so that I could view it on iPad), and I actually, actually got pissed. In the end I just re-encoded the whole thing using Handbrake. The documentation does not explain its syntax.
It seems more like people are complaining like "my dad bought a house and raised a family on a single income in 1970 and that's impossible now "

That's a complaint about past vs current conditions not about current conditions favoring the elderly.
I cannot recommend a 35mm for close-up pictures of people. The perspective is too weird. I have a 35mm lens, I used it a lot, and it has its uses--and the main way I use it is to capture more of the room or more people when I'm taking pictures indoors. Going too close with it results in distorted pictures which is fine as an artistic choice but it's not the choice most people want to make.

The Ricoh GR III has a 28mm equivalent, which puts it well into the "wide angle" category. You may like shooting with a 28mm FOV, or you may absolutely hate it. If you want to buy a camera like that, try it out first and see how you like it.

> Meanwhile 50mm is good for fashion,

It's really not. I would start at like 90mm equivalent for fashion or general portraiture (i.e. not candids).
Years ago I read about cloud computing as getting a free vacation but being charged for each sand particle you touch, small on its own but it gets too ridiculous after some time
I've had a couple of Fujifilm X100 cameras with their fixed prime lenses over the last few years. For me I've grown to love the 35mm eqv. focal length they provide.

I have 50mm and 28mm eqv. converters for it but hardly ever use them.

Recently I've really got into shooting landscapes with it, which is daft as no one shoots landscapes at 35mm. It would generally be regarded as not quite wide enough or not quite long enough. Still I think that's part of the appeal for me.

Limiting yourself to just one fixed prime is, in a way, very liberating. It's one less thing to think about and it forces you to walk about to get the framing you want.

Having said that if I was taking money to shoot someone's wedding again I would definitely break out my old Nikon DSLRs and a pair of zoom lens.
What about using hydrogen as a generator for an EV like in the Hyundai 74 concept? I’m far from an expert but something like that, at least intuitively, feels like a nice compromise with having portability of fuel, but still allowing for alternative power sources via electricity (like if grid power was sourced via solar, hydro, wind, etc).
Real income after housing costs is still very high both in historical perspective and as compared to other industrialized nations today.

Check the HN FAQ. Paywalled sites are fine for submissions as long as there's a workaround (and there is here), and whining about it (as the person I responded to did) is considered off-topic.

Private prisons are a problem, but as other posters mention, a sub-double-digit percent of our prisoners are in them. One of the real problems, it seems to me, is that pesky little clause in the 13th amendment allowing slavery as punishment for crimes. The government leases out prisons full of people as a work force to private industry. There are many industries and companies in the US that are now dependent on what is essentially slave labor - and no, 16 cents an hour doesn't somehow morally absolve us of the problem.
The terms of service may prohibit running a "service" or "server", for some definition, on a residential contract.
Distribution can be figured out, same as it was for fossil fuels and as it was/will be for electric energy. It would be a chicken and egg problem, for sure, however hydrogen has some big pros over electric, in that you can fuel up quite rapidly and get longer ranges, and doesn't have the harmful emissions of fossil fuel (how to produce the hydrogen in the first place is another issue, but the same is true for EV "fuel"). So I can see there could be a market for it as well as political will, if they can figure out the production side at a competitive price point. However, that's a big if.

I can see it entering special markets first, like long haul trucking, and become more widespread from that. Time will tell if that actually will happen.

In a way though this fucks boomers pretty hard, if they didn’t invest very responsibly and have their money out of stocks in time. The stock market is down 20% this year and unlikely to recover (if you believe the idea of the article) let alone return to long-run >10% growth like previously.

Similarly we may be heading for a housing price crash at some point and that kinda screws boomers who hoped to use it as a piggybank.

None of this in any way offsets the incredibly sweetheart deal that boomers received and then voted to deny to future generations, however. Almost free college, houses that pentupled in price, a stock market that averages 10-11%, generous social benefits, etc.
Betting on higher rates can be done using interest rate futures: https://www.cmegroup.com/markets/interest-rates.html These are fairly complicated instruments though so you'll want to do a bit of reading in order to be sure you're making the bet you want to make.

Betting on AI is more complicated: Obviously chip makers are likely beneficiaries, along with tech giants, in particular Google via Deepmind appears to be a leader in this area. But there are other ways for this sort of thing to play out, a lot of companies HNers probably never think about are investing in AI automation for their factories and automation in various ways. One possible future is that Deepmind builds The General AI Solution, and then licenses it to everyone. Another possible future is that the tech becomes so easy to build that each company just builds its own tailored solution for its particular problem.

I think I find the latter solution somewhat more plausible, but both are definitely in play. How you invest to benefit from that is tricky. It's likely in that scenario that some big companies will develop solutions in house, and others will buy startups that you'll never have a chance to invest in. Your job as an investor at this stage would be to figure out which big companies that you can invest in are likely to be the ones who do this successfully.

And when I talk about big companies here I don't necessarily mean the big tech companies. I mean companies like Tyson that makes chicken, or chemical companies, or firms like Accenture, etc. This is the harder side of the bet, because it's going to play out over quite a while, and there is a lot of uncertainty about exactly how.
My favorite normal lens is a Helios 44m-2 58mm f2. It is an old Russian knock off that produces a swirly background and glow effect. I bought two on eBay 8 years ago for maybe $30 each and connect it to my mirrorless body with a $9 adapter.
