Yes. My morning coffee sipping routine consists of scrolling Google News (US, Business, Tech, Science and Health) and clicking on articles I'm interested in reading further. Then I venture over to finance.yahoo.com and glance that while also checking my stocks. During baseball season I check MLB.com headlines. This takes me anywhere from 20-40 minutes.

At night after kid goes down I then go into my RSS reader for another 30-45 minutes. That consists of daily headlines from HN, along with some economic and tech sites.

I miss the days of getting newspapers delivered and that was my only news. Something about reading a physical page and smelling the fresh newspaper. Been LONG time though.
Starship doesn't exist. How reusable or cheap it will be, or what payload it will carry, are all unknown at this time.
You sound like someone who can be a technical co-founder to someone who is good with sales and the schmoozing part. A lot of Startup founders are looking for such a person, who is the "Guy in the Chair".

You get paid to do what you like. And things goes well, get a big payday later on. If not, by then, you would know how to do another one but with a much better experience, connections, and still not do the "typical complaints."
It's not for tax reasons, it's usually because you want to participate in a protocol which uses some other asset but you don't want to sell your bag.

eg.

Buy BTC for $1. BTC goes to $150, you think it might go to $10000 but you want to earn interest on your unrealised gains in the mean time.

You use your BTC as collateral on a 100 USDC loan and put your 100 USDC in an interest earning pool.

Now you're earning interest on USDC while you wait for your BTC to go to the moon.

Alternatively, BTC goes to 125, you get margin called. You either deposit more BTC or you get liquidated and keep the remainder, less any liquidation fee that typically goes back to the protocol that gave you the loan.

The amounts of collateral and margin needed totally depends on the protocol, collateral assets, etc. and in many cases is not even a fixed ratio. One example for you is DAI (1 DAI ~= 1 USD) which has a minimum of 150% collateralization ratio when being minted with ETH.
I store everything on my laptop, full disk encryption.

My phone is synced to my laptop via Syncthing so I have a copy of everything.

Passwords in keepass, Syncthinged.

I back everythinhg up every month or two on a USB drive using ansible by creating a big gpg encrypted archive. The process is automated for both archiving and restoring; had to use restore I think 3 times in the past.

Code here: https://gitlab.com/sdwolfz/dotfiles follow the rabbit hole from `make backup`.

This works for me as I don't keep around things I don't need. Every once in a while I look around and delete things that have no use for me, and reorganise information. Especially pictures!

I don't trust any "cloud backups" as security for me has 2 important sides: 1. Phisical access. And 2. Encryption strength. Sacrificing point 1 for convenience is unthinkable to me as that is the most important part I consider.
Several refueling is actually much cheaper than having it launched in a single piece because of the "rocket equation", google it. It is a good thing.

There needs to be a Godwin's law for how long we can have a thread about space exploration without somebody mentioning SpaceX
And how do you ensure the people making the deliveries are not abusing the system in their favor?
I think this is just an example of Twitter's general tend towards extremes: it's either absolutely terrible, or it's literally the most amazing thing ever.

Unfortunately, it's easier to break things than to provide more constructive critique.
I assume you mean borrowing an asset. You cannot short most assets because for most of them only spot markets exist, no derivatives. So the ability to have a short position on these assets is a big use case.
Ah, I had TASM 5, boxed. Great memories. I actually remember reading the manual for fun. If I remember right there were two manuals in the box, this one and an assembly reference.

Scrolling through it just now, I now also remember "Ideal" mode, and how it was so much better than MASMs weird idiosyncrasies.
Facebook developers seem to have a surprising amount of free time to go around reinventing things that are not obviously social network features. (Or to have had it in the 2010s, at least.)
Yep, so by definition if your input (higher wage) increases while your total output stays the same, then the ratio once divided shows productivity per unit has decreased, as OP said.
If you capitulate to every crying wolf whenever regulations came about, you would end up with exploited workers.
The social inertia point is an interesting one. It seems like in some areas, like JavaScript frameworks, there is a ton of inertia for change; in other areas, like git, there is a ton of inertia for stasis. Why is that?
very cool, thanks for sharing :)
We are always standing on the shoulders of giants. That is going to be the case always in the future.

However it is a question what SLS will do when they run out of these engines that's cost is in the same ballpark per piece as a full Falcon heavy. Or something like that. And those are just the engines. https://arstechnica.com/science/2020/05/nasa-will-pay-a-stag...
The biggest rule breakers are the ones sitting in the white house
SLS: payload 154k pounds, not reusable, 3B per rocket, currently on its way to the moon

SpaceX Starship: payload ??? pounds, ???% reusable, ??? estimate per reuse, hasn't flown once

Taking Elon numbers for what Starship might one day be and comparing it to the SLS which is actually working right now is entirely misplaced.

If and when the numbers turn out to be true, then I will join in congratulating an extraordinary accomplishment from SpaceX. We are nowhere close to that though at the moment, so let's reserve judgement of how Starship may or may not compare to SLS.
> modern HD video

I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't live stream actual 4K HDR content. Modern HD video was 10 years ago.
> I've always found EA to be the most capitalist way of trying to do good.

If by "capitalist", you mean the system that incentivized the most selfish assholes on the planet to accidentally lift billions of people out of poverty, then I agree.

> This also always felt very American. I'll get rich by paying workers poorly...

The median American gets paid more than their counterparts in all but a couple countries. When you account for the population size and diversity of America, it's a statistical miracle how well Americans get paid.

EA and capitalism focus on efficiency and not virtue. You can't substitute being unvirtuous with being hyper-efficient, and I don't think anyone is going to argue otherwise. There's an argument to be made that efficiency is crowding out virtue, especially when it comes to capitalism, but even then I think you're significantly overestimating this effect. I don't think this same argument can be applied to EA. Overall, I think it inspires rationalist-obsessing nerds to be more interested in virtuous behavior. One of them happens to be me. Another, happens to be a billionaire scam artist.
Ok. I think going further would bring no benefit and would run against site guidelines. Posting this so you don’t wait for a reply that isn’t coming. Thank you and have a good day.
Did anybody ask for a new git? And if they did, of all the entities in the world, why would Facebook be the guys we trust with that? It's already hard trusting Github.com.
I almost exclusively use Deliveroo (Italy) because their customer support is top notch, their monthly plan works well for me and every other delivery service treated me like shit[1]. I also have heard from a rider that they're the least worse we have when it comes to treating riders.

If they were to quit I probably just switch to a local service (we have one and it's based on Facebook Messenger, ugh). Uber One has no appeal here cause there's no Uber in Italy anyway.

[1]: Glovo in particular I had experiences where I was outright left without any food after long delays because of the rider's ineptitude and was told "oh that sucks, well better luck next time :P"
Yes, I would file that use case under leverage:

If you use your credit to buy USDC or some other asset, in any case, you are taking on more risk.

But I would not say it is not for tax prevention. How do we know for which of the two reasons users use lending platforms?
Exactly my thoughts.. it looks like the physics you find in most half decent games.
There is a lot of scepticism about EA in this thread, and for the most part I share all of it. It feels like a cult with an ulterior motive.

But: they haven't been caught actually doing anything remotely bad (they have some assholes as followers, some of whom are also crooks, but I struggle to blame EA for it) and perhaps, maybe, they really are donating tons of money to good causes?

Are there any estimates of how much money EA raised for the world? I mean, if each and every one of the donates 10% of their income, they are far ahead of me, and I'll shut up and put up.
The missing figure on the website is an estimate of the amount of greenhouse gases emitted for this project, both during construction and throughout its operation.
Yes, "borrowing". Fixed!
I'm not the poster but there is no reason to believe that we possess the tools to contemplate AI safety worse it may be a fools errand to contemplate how to control something much smarter than you are.

Ergo at this point in time money spent to pay people to contemplate it is almost certainly entirely wasted.
That's exactly what they do with their "Shorts" section. They completely take away play controls from the user.

This is what NTSB and other safety boards all over the world need to put humans & ADAS systems against, to see how each would behave. Like a leaderboard for safety instead of long held beliefs.
I'm like an old man yelling at ML. I lost interested in AI since ML was introduced. A*, Simulated Annealing, Minimax, Propositional Logic are not cool anymore. I feel quite obsoleted in this field. Probably because the need to make money, the businesses involving AI are still niche, jobs are a few. ML based is getting out of niche, Generative AI is mass now. But there's still a few business needs, I hope it would pass the stage of gimmick vibe to being a platform to build on top.
> minimal APIs give good performance

I thought the minimal APIs were just a bit of syntactic sugar over the same underlying architecture.

Are you saying they are actually different in a more fundamental way?
> Deliveroo cared too much about end-users

My experience with Deliveroo in Ireland has been completely the opposite of that. I was a Deliveroo Plus subscriber, but now I don't use Deliveroo at all.

Customer service was non-existent, orders would vanish and no one cared. When I cancelled Deliveroo Plus there was no attempt at retention.
Right thing to do according to who, you?

Why do you get to decide what is right and wrong without a court of law? I thought we outlawed that ages ago.

It's not so bad. You can burn yourself on a metal plate that is at 45 degrees. This temperature is manageable by the electronics inside.
Of course people are going to talk about SpaceX. They're the only ones who have rockets that land. It's because of this that SpaceX launches more mass to orbit than the rest of the world combined. Since last year, the majority of satellites ever launched have been put into orbit by SpaceX.

You might as well suggest a Godwin's law for phone discussion where someone mentions Apple.
I think people usually have wayyyy more tabs opened than programs. I might have 5-6 programs so alt tab doesn't take long to circle through. I might have 20 tabs that I'm currently using, and it is not unusual to go above that (and I know many people having 50 or more). In that case it is very slow to go through them.
English-language style guides all but invariably state no spaces around em-dashes.

Style guides are bullshit on this point.

Checking just now, the AP style guide does specify spaces around em dashes, so if you want a justification, claim you're using AP ems.

<https://www.thepunctuationguide.com/em-dash.html>

See also Merriam-Webster's guidance, though MW fall to the Dark Side:

<https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/em-dash-en-das...>

As for plain text, I follow LaTeX conventions (and some Markdown flavours) in which a single '-' is a hyphen, a doubled '--' is an en-dash (used for numeric ranges, e.g., 1917--1991), and a triple dash '---' indicates an em dash.

Put spaces around your em dashes. Real human readers will thank you.

Another thing i haven't seen mentioned is the typeface.
Old books can be hard to read if they are set in Fraktur.
With an eBook you can just change the font at-will.

Ask HN: Does your company use a data mesh? Is it adding value?
I also thought this is misleading, I can still read the 30 year old txt files I have in backup (copied from old floppy disks).

As long as data is not stored in some obfuscated proprietary format you will get along just fine. Either software is available, or the format is known and you can write a decoder.

What if the format is unknown? Well, try reading old Egyptian, this problem is not new...
This is only true if you have a LAMP server already. On none of my servers runs PHP, so setting that up would be definitly more work than adding another binary to my systemd.
While not good for you, I understand this from a business view. There are bad players that will complain for the free meal regardless of quality.

The platform has to manage against people that seek to abuse relaxed customer service. A third in a row seems reasonable threshold and I would hope you are an outlier of this happening to a genuine customer.

So I dont feel this is 'they don't care', more a sad reality of the world that some people abuse systems if they can, and you unfortunately got caught up in that.

That's also the beauty of the internet and customer reviews. If a restaurant is that bad frequently, reviews will end their business so they can't survive on churning people trying something new.

Assuming the book is kept under good conditions, in a humid controller room, with nobody touching it?

Your point is moot. there's a reason we moved to digital media, and why nobody keeps paper copies of everything, aside for last-resort scenarios (which once again includes physical media that nobody ever touches)
At this point I think that giving $5 to a homeless person in SF (even if they go straight to doing another shot) might be more productive than this self-aggrandizing vapid BS about some theoretical risk that might come in the future

Right now what's threatening the most people is war, famine and diseases. Climate change is a tangible future threat but I'd bet a couple $ that the JSO organizers are full EA proponents and are flying private jets to convince people to throw soup into works of art
I don't know about you, but I don't use Google search much, I use DDG.

So, no, I'm not bothered by Google's domination when I actually don't use it much. Doesn't seem to be "domination" to me.
No, you don't lol. You do realize both the algorithm to decompress the media, and the media as well can be stored alongside, right? Including. any instructions to actually use that media.
> Well compensated workers mean well compensated customers

Exactly, a fat middle class means more economic activity, and services are at a higher standard overall because people can afford it.

The free market concept applied to labor is a farce, because people have to work to live, people can't vote with their wallets and are forced to take whatever's offered to them. Regulation is required, because history shows us that an entirely free labour market will lead to a race to the bottom, resulting in exploitation and a cheapening of services as no one has money to spend.
Just as "inventing your own source control system" is a hobby, "being a very large engineering organization" is a hobby.

FB and Google started with infinite money spigots and used it to hire a lot of people who make a lot of commits; if you laid them off, or if you canceled half the remaining Google products they haven't already canceled, not all that much would change.
> They're the only ones who have rockets that land.

Blue origin also vertically land (and the Shuttle also landed)
> Utilitarianism actually leads to repugnant conclusions everywhere, and you can find repugnancy in even the smallest drop.

The argument here is quite agreeable, that morality cannot be reduced to a scalar, universal morals don't exist and utilitarianism is not the endgame.

But what if we trained an AI to be moral? We wouldn't even specify the objective functions , but somehow let it figure it out for ourselves. Perhaps she could understand us better than we can hope to understand ourselves.
Unfortunately, some hirers optimise for this because in the short term the kind of people who they can rely upon to impose on, stay late and stress out (ie be seen to "care" in the corporate dystopia) and burnout are the fucked-up "normal" they aspire to.
Good, noone should have to put up with abuse in the work place.
I would be happy to have tabs on the top, then tabs on a side for all tabs opened from the current tab. I find that wish there were a way to group tabs opened together, for example when I am exploring several datasheets at once to select a suitable part. Sometimes a new window works well enough but for complicated browsing that isn't really useful enough. At some point the branches get complicated but even 3 layers deep would be enough for me before breaking into new windows.
Bombarding something with radiation usually does not make it radioactive itself
Yes? It's likely no longer in the spot is was meant to. 2' to the right could mean it's in the way of cars, customers, etc.
Basically, yes. You're not going to get all these free services (search, email, etc.) for nothing; the price is the ads. Of course, some of us don't look at ads much, thanks to ad-blocking technologies, but enough people are too lazy or ignorant to do that, so that's how all this stuff is financed.

If we eliminate ads, you can say goodbye to many "free" services people take for granted now, or expect to need to subscribe to them for a monthly fee. Of course, that could work, but it'd be very different than what we're used to I think.
SpaceX is making significant breakthroughs that you can appreciate if you understand the tech.

> As of 2019, only three full-flow staged combustion rocket engines had ever progressed sufficiently to be tested on test stands; the Soviet Energomash RD-270 project in the 1960s, the US government-funded Aerojet Rocketdyne Integrated powerhead demonstration project in the mid-2000s,[6] and SpaceX's flight capable Raptor engine first test-fired in February 2019.

> On the night of March 8, 1971, burglars broke into an F.B.I. field office in Media, Pennsylvania, and made off with a cache of top-secret files.

If I recall this story correctly, the burglars left a note on the door that day, saying not to lock it, and apparently the people working there respected that, so when the burglars arrived that night, the door was unlocked.
Fair, I didn't consider that they may not have organization support yet. Thanks for pointing it out!
It’s much like spending millions on studying how to save humanity from the sun when it expands in 5b years.
brittle and falling apart? Never.

How often have you read them? Many of my most beloved cheap paperbacks from the 80s and 90s have been replaced at least once since they've literally fallen apart as I was reading them. Also my books from the 50s and 60s seem to be of higher quality than books from the 80s and 90s (or that could also just be survivor bias).
I’ve seen cars equipped with LED bars above and below license plates to camouflage them.

Depends what Aaronson meant by "being ahead morally"; it's unclear whether he is referring to morality in the sense of being virtuous, or in the sense of making other people better off. Hypothetical Charitable Investor's donations are a sign that that they might be rather virtuous, but they certainly aren't 1000 times more virtuous than the average person, and if it turns out that they secretly have a habit of kicking puppies, then they aren't virtuous at all. But it could certainly be true that, compared to an average person, Hypothetical Charitable Investor has had 1000 times the impact in terms of how they improved other people's lives.
I'm confused by the dating in the article. It refers to an ancient Buddhist stupa towering over the streets, but later says the city was abandoned by 1700 BCE. This would be over 1,000 years before the founding of Buddhism. Or am I missing something?
The authorities dont take a lot of cases. Once again, why are you the arbiter of right and wrong?

What? Japanese dates are always year-month-day, with slightly different separators. More generally the date notation tends to strongly reflect how it is spoken (e.g. "1st January 2023" becomes "1/1/2023") and there are enough countries where you never put day before month.
