This is how I learned (via the Matt Farah videos on YouTube), basically. Just go somewhere quiet and flat and learn to get moving in first with just slipping the clutch. You should be able to feather it enough until you have sufficient momentum that you can ease off of it without ever using the gas, and bingo, you're in first gear. Not only is it fantastic for learning how to get into first, but it helps you learn your car's clutch bite point, which makes shifting into other gears even easier.

I still had a horrible first drive from the dealer to the house, probably stalled 20 times (lots of small hills in Daly City, near SF) and annoyed some drivers behind me, but it worked out in the end.

From the agency that compiled the report: "The report found no evidence that Webb was either a leader or proponent of firing government employees for their sexual orientation."

I haven't read the 80+ page report in its entirety, but I am not going to take an out-of-context statement from the report that concluded his non-involvement as some evidence against him. That statement sounds perhaps damning, but I can assume that the context might paint a more complete picture, or perhaps it was recollected by somebody else, or maybe the extent of it was that Truman called for a meeting with Webb with the goal being "work together on the homosexual investigation", and Webb attended the meeting out of professional obligation.

I don't know. I do know that the statement is from the report that concluded that he was NOT involved, so right off the bat, I can conclude that in isolation, it's misleading.
You may not realize it, but there are a million books published each year. It is probably harder to write a widely-read book than to gain a following for a product because of the supply and demand dynamics

The median book sells less than a thousand copies, and many sell less than a hundred copies. I’m reading one right now (razor strike, a cyberpunk story) that is excellent, but I think the author suggested online once they only made a couple hundred dollars off it. Highly recommended btw
Over the last 4 years I built a label design and print app using Electron/React. It has 5000+ desktop users and will reach 7 figures in revenue in the next year. I recently launched a new thermal label printer brand named mydpi. Right now I'm selling a 300 DPI direct-thermal version to compete with DYMO and low-end Zebra. In a month I'll launch a thermal-transfer version with bundled ribbon/labels. I never thought I'd play in the "label printer" niche, because honestly, I hate printing labels... but my app makes it possible to easily achieve impressive results. I'm also working on a cloud-based renderer that will make user's designs available as an API that accepts variables for inside the label and returns a rasterized image or the specific-printer-language to print the result.

The problems with Twitter's previous approach to banning is that those banned for "disinformation" were consistently anti-establishment and right-of-center. Twitter strictly enforced its Terms of Service against political opponents of its favored party, while often turning a blind eye to offenses from those more closely aligned with their staff's ideology.

The description on Wikipedia regarding ZeroHedge's suspension is heavily biased. Why do they link to a BuzzFeed News article, instead of ZH's actual article? Which parts of the ZH article are proven false? Buzzfeed doesn't say, and neither did Twitter. Same for Dr. Robert Malone, what exactly is "misinformation" about his content, and who is making that determination? What is the censor's area of expertise to make such a judgement? Who is the censor?

Candace Owens was banned for criticism of a governor's COVID policies. Where does that fit in your characterization of bannings as "harrassment, threats, impersonation, and disinformation"?

Meanwhile, grifter Talcum X still has a Twitter account with 1 million followers, despite endorsing violence on multiple occasions and threatening to dox innocent law enforcement personnel.

Isn't your metric of "some advertisers pulled out" meaningless? There's actually zero evidence revenue declined at all. Ads still seem to be running, and they have more eyeballs than ever. Someone's paying.

If salary expenses are halved, the company is cash flow positive next year.

I guess what I'm saying is, I'd rather trust financial statements than CNN articles about how Twitter is supposedly burning to the ground (CNN is a direct competitor and has a conflict of interest).
Indeed, but culture is not the answer to the question asked. The person bringing it in is attempting to explain personality traits with race and culture. A dangerous approach, usually employed by inexperienced folks.
Yes. I think it's fun to be ultra polite with voice assistants to see what happens.
I've long felt that the tech industry is somewhat blinded by decades of Moore's Law and its equivalent in storage, networking, etc. 2-10x improvements are so normal for Silicon Valley that they begin expecting to find them everywhere.

In just about every other field or industry, a 10% improvement every decade is amazing and represents the combined efforts of tens of thousands of researchers. A 2x improvement is a once-in-a-lifetime revolution that will be backed my mountains of joint; and 10x (like Theranos promised) completely unheard of.

This also functions as a great BS detector - breakthroughs of the scale Theranos claimed just don't happen out of nowhere - there would be thousands of peer reviewed papers leading up to it.

"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence", and Theranos didn't even offer an ounce of it.
Recently I went to see PJ with a friend. I had the tickets but I was going to be late so tried to transfer one ticket. Nope, not allowed. Both of us had to be there with my app. If I wanted to sell it I can but not to a person. I can just release it back at the original price and no fees. So PJ are still fighting the good fight and TM plays along. Unfortunately most artists don’t have PJ’s influence, so probably not an option for everyone to set the rules.
Hmm, that actually seems quite likely to me.

Developing for the cloud makes sense when you're developing features as fast as you can leveraging cloud services to make it all easier. When you have a relatively stable feature set and scaling massively it's better to use private datacenters.

I will say I blip rev-match downshift on the street almost all the time, that's definitely useful for smooth driving in most scenarios.

Presumption of innocence is an important principle for all of society. It's not just some heady legal principle that doesn't apply to non-state entities. Why do you think that the state is the only entity that can deprive people of their rights or their wellbeing?

Presumption of guilt is how people end up being shamed and exiled for things they didn't do. You don't have to be persecuted by the government to be a victim of persecution.
But for many big artists the tickets are sold out immediately and it is just scalpers trying to get what they can for them. I'd like to know how many people attending a big concert got their tix directly vs got resold ones not at face value.

The author of the tweet claims that targeted harassment is now allowed, but the Bloomberg article he quoted discusses targeted misgendering. I am pointing out that these are different, and that permitting the latter doesn't necessarily remove restrictions on the former.

According to the article, they legally compelled SBF to provide access (he is AFAIK physically located there)

I do wonder how much of this depends on the driving style, though.

In a manual I think you're much more likely to rev out the engine more, shift higher in the rev range, etc.

In an automatic unless you're in full "manual" mode and using the paddles/shifter to emulate that same style, then you're more likely to have the automatic's efficiency.
Agreed. And was just thinking, to get more farmers to buy these low-usage sprayers, think the government should give incentives to farmers to buy them. Maybe major tax credits for buying them or using less pesticides?
1. I don't think it's a premise of EA that you can predict outcomes 100% of the time. Thus the fact that SBF failed to predict something isn't some sort of fatal blow you think it is

2. Even if we accept your conclusion, what does that mean in practice? Wikipedia describes effective altruism as:

>a philosophical and social movement that advocates "using evidence and reason to figure out how to benefit others as much as possible, and taking action on that basis".

Should we not use evidence and reason to figure out how to benefit others as much as possible? Should we revert back to donating based on whatever makes us feel fuzzy? It's easy to dunk on something because it supposedly failed, but what's your proposed alternative?

There is such a thing as the Planck constant. It doesn't constitute a bound on the divisibility of space. It is a length scale below which we do not expect our current physical theories to make good predictions. See https://www.fnal.gov/pub/today/archive/archive_2013/today13-...

> Which makes at least intuitive sense that there isn't anything which contains infinite information.

There are no real numbers outside of human beings' minds. The information in a number, real or otherwise, is a theoretical mathematical concept from human minds for which there is no evidence in nature.

There is no definitive evidence that nature confirms to either continuous or discrete math at the smallest scales, but for now, if you look at theoretical physics papers, you will see integrals and derivatives, not sums and differences.
Or you could just be like Garth Brooks and keep adding shows until they no longer sell out. Boom, problem solved.
It was actually a wandering hyperactive/ADHD mind that often said "why isn't there one" and follows through doggedly to the very end.

Slow-path network processing (arguably me) was commercially made in Ascom Timeplex in 1982 and someone else leaked it to Cisco (or ripping AT's patent off). I got that from observing how different river bends (re)connect year-after-year while doing trout fishing trips.

Money-wise, I am disabled, got abled, disabled again in different way, re-enabled, now just coasting with my own ideas: JavaScript Host-Based Intrusion Detection/Protection System, being one of them.

Money is not my thing but it does help greatly in the pursuit of my ideals (so many hardwares, so many test equips).
I was involved a combination of 4 and 6 once: Production deployment had a problem so the ops team rolled back the code and restored the db from backup. Except the backup that was restored was a day old. By the time we realised what had happened we had new data in the prod database so there was no correct version of db any more.

She could have frozen eggs and done surrogate birth at 50. Or adopt (likely private as she is now a convicted felon). Average life expectancy for women in the US is 79 years and much longer for wealthy people. That's long enough to not only be there for your children in their important development years but also (likely) attend their wedding, be a grandparent, etc. This has the added benefit of the kids not having the psychological damage that comes from the whole "did my mom have me just to try to stay out of prison?" aspect.

She's very intelligent and calculating and had to have considered these substantially better options for starting a family given her situation. Instead, I'm convinced these pregnancies were timed to solely benefit her with likely no consideration for what it meant for these poor kids.

> The action banning a piece of news MADE IT CREDIBLE in the eyes of the public.

No. If that worked, necrophilia would be credible in the eyes of the public. It's banned so completely it isn't even mentioned except as an extreme fetish for people who are, presumably, mentally ill in the eyes of the mainstream. Banning necrophilia does nothing for it: It only finds purchase among a tiny few, the ones predisposed to go for it. Idiocies like the imaginary laptop are similar: Only those predisposed to fall for such fallacies are swayed, as proven by Republicans losing elections of late.

Besides, the people who support the DON'T SAY GAY bill certainly think banning discussion of a thing makes it go away entirely. Reality refutes them.

When I was 16 in 1976, my father and grandfather taught me how to drive stick. I learned on a 1966 rambler classic four-door sedan with three on the column. Nowadays, that would be an anti-theft device. When I lived in the country, most of my cars were stick shift and when I lived in the city I preferred automatics - nothing like driving in heavy traffic, and everyone is driving first and a half. That’s just hard to synchronize with a stick shift.
Current vehicle is a four-speed, and I don’t think I’d have anything else.
I learned first on a dirt bike (13). I didn’t drive a stick until I was 19 for a delivery job but it was trial by fire at that point. I had to drive a stick to work my shift.

I drove one later, 25-32. It was fine, I don’t miss stop and go traffic with a stick shift.

But does FTX have the right to agree to this? It’s like me agreeing with a stranger to sell your house and split the proceeds between us. FTX wasn’t entitled to the customers money and neither had the Bahamian authorities.

I think this is great if your goal is to clear the market at a competitive price. But a lot of artists want to sell tickets below market price. That makes the problem a lot harder. The obvious thing to do is have a lottery, but it's hard to stop people from using multiple identities (especially scalpers).
This is a boring point that people keep making in this thread. If that's actually the case, then none of this discussion matters. If this discussion doesn't matter, jumping into it and pointing that isn't making HN any better for curious discussion. Can it.
The Bahamas has a total population of a smallish city and surely a national budget to match. Grabbing 500M anonymously (while letting everyone run around for days thinking it was a hacker) doesn't make much sense either. Did they put their entire country's budget on the exchange or something?
> but if I'm asking you a reasonable question and you're not answering it, I'm going to be increasingly direct.

And herein lies the flaw in your approach. It's reasonable to be annoyed that you're not getting the answer, but it doesn't mean your approach is helping you get there. It's the equivalent of "If someone doesn't understand me, I'm going to shout even louder" or "I'm going to use the same words, but speak even slower".

There's no good reason to think that more directness is more effective.
It struck no nerve. People here just don't like drive-by partisan swipes. They're boring and intellectually lazy.
If you're really being precise about your gears, a shift-up or -down can involve both wheels. I never do that, though.

> coal mine or a logging operation or a PFS factory or a highway it would still go through

Actually, all of those things are just as difficult to do in jurisdictions where the public sentiment is given so much deference. That's why they're usually built in the middle of nowhere, or in jurisdictions which don't effectively grant the public procedural veto powers. (That said, mining and chemical factories in particular tend to facially violate zoning laws, as they should. Places where they're not clearly prohibited will also tend to be places where there aren't many people, and thus new construction would be expected to receive quick approval. Existing factories were usually built away from populations, but sprawl caused populations to encroach, and then you see a lot of tension with upgrades, etc, to the existing facilities.)

This is why it's been so difficult to build a high-speed train in California, or why it can take decades to build any form of transportation, including roads, especially in populated areas.
