On that last point you are incorrect. The known laws of physics rule out all forms of Einstein–Rosen bridge (aka “wormholes”) that you might imagine, except possibly inside of black holes (and those wouldn’t be traversable). That includes wormholes between points in our own universe, and between universes. Einstein and Rosen studied them because they are technically a valid solution to the equations of General Relativity, but not all solutions to those equations are realizable. In this case, opening a wormhole requires a considerable quantity of negative mass, and there is exactly zero negative mass available. Mass (or energy density), is simply never negative.

As for completeness, each revision we make to the known laws of physics is always smaller than the ones that came before. Einstein’s Relativity trumped Newton’s laws of gravity and motion, but only at high speeds or energies. At high speeds you start to notice weird effects like time dilation, but at low speeds the time dilation is so small that you would never notice it unless you knew to look for it.

Likewise, in most situations the difference between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics is unobservable. There were some edge cases where classical mechanics just couldn’t explain observable phenomena, like the photo–electric effect or phosphorescence, and all quantum mechanics does is fix those edge cases while still being able to explain all the rest of chemistry and such that we already knew about. The changes introduced by Quantum Electro–Dynamics and later Quantum Chromo–Dynamics were even subtler than that. The only easily–measured thing that QCD explains that QED couldn’t is radioactive decay, which is basically irrelevant to life. QED is much more useful to biologists because it explains how chemical reactions can release light (fireflies!), how chemicals can be sensitive to particular parts of the light spectrum (think rhodopsin in the cone cells in your eye), etc.

Because every new addition to our understanding of physics must not contradict anything we already understand (if it did then we would know it was wrong), we are asymptotically approaching a limit (as it were). That limit is either the full laws of physics, or I suppose you would say some limitation of our own minds. But why should our minds be unable to comprehend the full laws of physics? Even if those get harder and harder to learn about and understand, we have all the time in the universe to come to grips with them. Any individual can maybe hit a limit of how clever they can be, but the human race as a whole? I doubt it; we’ll crack that nut eventually. Even if humanity gives up at some point, nothing that we fail to learn could contradict what we have already figured out.

I have relatives on the East Coast horrified at things that happened in Seattle, Washington. They believe that most cities are like that. They have no ability to discern stories from three time zones over from stories happening in their backyard; it's all coming in over the same internet.

So no, I don't think we're returning to the past. I think we're entering a new future, one with uncharted territory. The past gives us no particular guarantees that people are capable of handling this level of noise, let alone focused culture jamming and intentional exploitation of the new speed and reach of communication.

While I'm sure some trolls do what they do for the external audience, private responses won't stop griefing just for giggles. I send a troll message to Bob, privately, get a rise out of him and screenshot the whole conversation and repost to some other platform if I want external validation.

i have.

basically i created separate KeePass database and put all things i want to disclose there (like banks passwords, mobile unlock pattern etc.). what's nice about keepass is that you can store media files like images besides passwords.

this database is in Google Drive and shared with my relative. the password to the database is printed on paper and stored in the envelope - any my relative knows where to search for this envelope in case something happens.
Yes there is. You have to spend the time blocking lots of servers full of crazy people who just spout offensive stuff at you because the entire server is full of people who dogpile on anything they see.
Ok, so the tactic was that the side wall and the car chassis can take the impact so they just went flat out knowing that they could take more speed through the corner than they’d lose due to the drag?

It looks like they never lost control, and the wall is clearly designed to take much harder impacts, so I’m not sure how you make that illegal without saying tight racing near the wall runs the risk of instant disqualification?

The problem isn't technical feasibility but regulation. My city is one of the coldest (by lows, not average) capitals in Europe, and we have some of the strictest regulations in terms of energy requirements.

New buildings have to be built with a total energy demand on par with Passivhaus standards, and renovated buildings (which includes adding an extension) have to be brought close to it. And of course, you cannot burn fossil fuels (which includes gas) for heating of newly built or renovated buildings.

Yes this makes buildings a bit more expensive, and yes we are a poor country compared to Western Europe, but it works. If it can work here, there is no reason why it can't work anywhere else in Europe - the only reason why it hasn't been done elsewhere is because the politicians don't want to piss off their buddies in the construction sector.

We have a lot of Soviet apartment blocks ("Khrushchyovka") which are basically just concrete and were built when gas was effectively free. These are being renovated up to modern standards as well, by wrapping them with external insulation. This of course changes the 'character' of the building, but I'm sure people said the same when wooden buildings were replaced with brick buildings.
I'd like to open up this question again after some decades.

> A redundancy is different to being fired, and comes with a payout depending on length of tenure with the company.

In US usage, the general term here is “layoff”. And severance is not a legal requirement, and practices vary considerably by industry and, within industries, by individual firm. Layoff is eligible for unemployment, while firing may or may not be. (The line is also looser because the US has at-will employment, so there are very little general rules–other than those in particular employment contracts of unionized or high-status employees–around termination other than for prohibited purposes, or–mostly around warning periods–mass terminations, but there are conditions for unemployment assistance.)

I got a TOTP card from Bank of America like 10 years ago. Ended up screwing me a bit when I lost it and then couldn't make changes to my account... I personally kinda hate 2FA now.
Initially, he means that a single self-sufficient person contributes 0 to the GDP. Then it seems like he means people in this village don't trade with each other, but I'm not sure. If they trade without money, first of all that's very inefficient, secondly there's still a GDP of sorts but maybe he means it's not measured.

But he doesn't care about efficiency. He's not saying GDP is a poor indicator of economic growth. He's more saying that economic growth is bad, globalism is bad, and maybe hinting that *skims other article on site* an ancient, simple life according to Orthodox Christianity is the true path to happiness. And this is too off-topic for me to discuss, I'm just laying out what the dude is saying.
It just seems weird to suggest that I can be like a random IT worker at some tech company and can post something like "All hate speech should be illegal" and that will be fine. Then my company signs some contract with the government and suddenly tweeting that again would result in prison time.

I do, but not every time. I got a DMCA takedown notice on one replacement part I designed. I challenged it and got it reinstated, but it left me a little bitter.

Regarding spending hours on design... yeah, that part is a drag. I've done this enough times now that I'm just a lot faster than I used to be, and I also have a pretty good idea of what tiny portions of a design to print to do fit checks. But getting there certainly took some practice.

In terms of pure technology there has been a crazy amount of incremental progress in the area. We have gone from the first kickstarter for Oculus (when VR was just a sci-fi dream) to the release of Quest Pro and games like Half-Life: Alyx in under a decade.

Of course shareholders really want to count actual monetary returns as progress, and it's the job of the CEO to decide whether prioritizing short term gains is actually in the best interests of the company or not.
Nobody thought anybody could dethrone IE when Firefox came around. I don't think the goal of Arc is to be the browser that everybody uses, so much to be a useful browser for a lot of power-users.

With the industry standardizing (for better or worse) on a handful of rendering engines, it's not a big stretch to imagine a world where you can choose between different browsers and still experience the same web as everybody else (as opposed to the days past where choosing a niche browser meant accepting a worse web).
You can deduct your actual expenses, but you can’t deduct rent that you didn’t receive because the property was vacant, or get a “tax credit for unrented property” as was claimed.

You're missing my point. There's no use in trying to debate whether or not any one person is being fired "for cause" or not...frankly I could care less whether the one item of hearsay you point at is credible or not.

What I'm trying to wade through is the vast oceans of nonsense being fielded in the media and in comments that do not add anything to the story and are just trying to prop up one side or another. There's an ocean of difference between one item of hearsay that you point out (hell, maybe that one EM was due to be fired "for cause" who knows? do you? I sure don't!), and 25% of the workforce being fired "for cause", and 4 executives (not 3 as you point out).
Pretty good solution. I’ve seen online services that will “virtualise” a phone and give you access to it in the cloud. Pretty sure it’s just a cheap android on a rack.

I’ve thought about using one a few times, when going travelling overseas for extended trips.

Ask HN: Have you noticed any side-effects from 100% work-from-home?
As a hobby, I'm writing some software that I plan to use myself. I'm building software to incentivize positive habit formation, routine maintenance, and daily mindfulness.

I settled on the idea after reflecting on how my life has changed since I started a fully remote, work-from-home routine without a live-in partner. I've always been self-motivated and independent. WFH helped me lean heavily into that aspect of myself - perhaps a little too heavily. Overall, while I feel WFH to be a strong net positive that I am unwilling to abandon, I find myself wanting to consciously push back against the days blurring together due to poor work/life boundaries and I find myself wanting more tangible outlets for getting my thoughts "out there" due to lack of unplanned chitchat.

Does the notion of "I starkly prefer work-from-home over work-from-office, but miss the 'forced' social structure/support provided by traditional work-from-office environments" ring true to you? Are your days broadly better as long as you keep on your daily routine, but, if your routine slips, you find there's less humane society to integrate with in an effort to rebound? And, if you'll forgive me for being a bit ironic, have you explored any software solutions for mitigating these concerns?

Irrespective of your experience - positive or negative - please share. I don't want to mislead myself into believing an anecdotal, personal issue is representative of a societal trend. Thanks!
Any good metric ceases to be meaningful once it’s actually used as a metric, because that’s when the gamification starts.

>I still can't share my screen in Slack or Teams making calls with Windows and Mac colleagues an embarrassing mess.

Works fine in at least all wlroots compositors (via xdpw) and in GNOME (via xdpgtk). The Electron versions presumably don't use PW so they'll only share Xwayland windows. The browser versions will be able to share everything through xdp since all major browsers support PW.

>Firefox in Ubuntu 22.04 has Wayland disabled by default (why though, if Wayland is so usable?)

Dunno, works for me. Firefox isn't exactly the poster-child of intelligent decisions.

>No scroll acceleration settings.

Depends on the compositor. sway supports them. Not a Wayland problem.

>Currently, Wayland is one step forward, one step back.

Nope.

>Especially that many highly used apps still haven't made the switch

Yes they have. For starters, every GTK3+ and Qt 5+ program will already use Wayland if it exists.

>Wayland has not yet feature parity to what X11 offered.

Yes it has.

That's incorrect. Federal law requires you to also notify your local government.

https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?path=/prelim@title29/cha...

§2102. Notice required before plant closings and mass layoffs

(a) Notice to employees, State dislocated worker units, and local governments

An employer shall not order a plant closing or mass layoff until the end of a 60-day period after the employer serves written notice of such an order—

(1) to each representative of the affected employees as of the time of the notice or, if there is no such representative at that time, to each affected employee; and

(2) to the State or entity designated by the State to carry out rapid response activities under section 3174(a)(2)(A) of this title, and the chief elected official of the unit of local government within which such closing or layoff is to occur.

If there is more than one such unit, the unit of local government which the employer shall notify is the unit of local government to which the employer pays the highest taxes for the year preceding the year for which the determination is made.
It's not exactly practical to throw away a design and start on completely different aircraft! Also consider that the size was fixed by the fuel requirements and the wavelength of the sideways-looking radar.

Is there context beyond the "There is a tiny possibility there might be more to this story than meets the eye" tweet he posted? I think if that's the only context reasonably you can interpret that a number of ways: it responding to a dubious claim with a dubious claim is not the only way.

It probably would violate the external profile standards, even if the regulators wouldn't understand the purpose on first seeing it.
> that is difficult to fake.

Changing the included values and operands, then calling it a new standard, is common in the US. GDP has been an unreliable metric for decades.

I noticed when the multitude of chip fabs, across california, closed down had coincided with the president announcing the stockmarket gains were being rolled into the accounting. I thought it was obvious that it was not a meaningful metric for measuring production.

In a modern democracy, only one of those three could conceivably have your interests at heart. Lumping them all together damages participation in democracy, which exacerbates the problem.
Brilliant. Patents are super hard to read because they language used is usually overly verbose and unintuitive.

I'm hoping that I substitute plain english words for lengthy patent jargon so that I can actually read the things for once.
LOL. GDP is fake to begin with.

Okay but can I get it then?

On a serious note, I doubt it is something inheritable. I haven't read the terms of use but I am 100% sure you cannot inherit a Steam account, the same way you're not authorize to buy one.

I'm sure it goes the same with 99% of the online services that you may be subscribed to.

"Near the wall" is quite different than "against the wall, intentionally."

I accept that fiat money is entirely supported by the notion of perpetual growth, but in the abstract it's hard to come to terms with the idea our society is so fundamentally committed to, and reliant upon, growth.
Does anyone think GDP is a measure of national success?

What it is is an indispensable measure of the strength of a nation's market economy - which is a major limiting factor in tackling actual end goals such as the well-being of the population.

"If it's stupid, but it works, it's not stupid."

It kind of feels like this comment is the straw man.

There’s nothing wrong with GDP as a metric, especially if you want to know the economic horsepower of a nation. The argument being made is that it’s not a good metric when measuring success of a nation.
Any benchmarks against other PB implementations? Would love to see numbers against the JVM, and than against C++ or Rust.

My gut feeling is anyway that PB in JS is likely a failure against just using JSON (which the JS runtime implements in efficient native code).
Yeah, I thought about low power mode but at least on my Samsung phone that kills basically all of the background apps/services, which would include any forwarding service. Or well, you can choose to allow background stuff but that's where the battery savings really kick in. I guess I haven't actually tried it with zero direct usage of the screen or phone, maybe it could last that long...
This has nothing to do with the paradox of tolerance and everything to do with the principle of free speech.

When we as a society become ok with harassment and murder, come talk to me. Until then, you're abusing the idea because you think it agrees with you. It's a gateway to censorship.

If this ability had been put into place 20 years ago it would be gay-oriented websites that were shut down due to their indecency. After all, the paradox of tolerance, right!?!?

No, it's real easy. free speech is free speech. If someone is found to be harassing, use criminal law to prosecute. Does criminal law have a higher bar than kicking websites off the internet? Yep, and that's on purpose.
We’ve been losing this for decades (Tolkien complained about it) - appification has made it significantly worse.
