England and Wales share a legal system that is distinct from the one in Scotland and NI, which is the only thing I could think would explain that. Wales didn’t have its own parliament until 1998 and was entirely governed by London.

When risk can pay off
I think maybe the fundamental hard thing about startups is that you can’t ignore the problem space or the solution space. It’s not like Bezos was passionate about selling cheap books for years before Amazon, he saw that this new Internet thing was going mainstream and building on top of this new tech was the premise of the business more than selling books cheaply and quickly was.

Most of the startup opportunities in the last couple decades were built off the back of several deeper tech breakthroughs like mass mobile phone adoption and virtualization. I think more founders have been successful just riding these tech waves than sticking to a problem space. Brian Chesky didn’t work in hotel management and Travis Kalanack didn’t work in transportation. They were just familiar with cutting edge consumer tech and applied it to problems they had no familiar with before they started.
> what is the definition of "perfect food"?

I kind of meant it as a figure of speech. For me natto is perfect when I have a pot of rice, don’t feel like cooking, and want something substantial with a rich flavor. So lots of food can be “perfect” under different circumstances.

However if I were to pick one perfect food, I think I would pick the potato.

Not to make you feel worse, but falling asleep at work can be caused by a health issue, for example sleep apnea. In the future I would recommend approaching this with your employee as a health issue first rather than as a laziness issue.

Manual labor is usually paid hourly with bonuses for overtime. Unless you're keeping a close eye on the workload to make sure not only the entire team but also each team member is treated fairly, you can expect people to do things that resemble slacking off, to manage their own workload. If you randomly require the whole team to work weekends, the person who put in a solid 40 hours during the week loses out compared to the person who left early when they could. If the whole team is sometimes required to stay until 6 or later to fix some crisis, the person who shows up at 9 sharp every day loses out compared to the person who drifts in around 9:30 or 10.
They're a bad joke. The main problems are:

1) Reluctance to recognize the tipping point has come and gone. Global temperatures will continue a steady rise for the next 100 years even if the energy system is completely defossilized within a decade, which is not going to happen. At best, rates can be slowed by eliminating fossil fuels within 3-5 decades, but even then the natural feedbacks will continue for decades if not centuries. Pliocene, here we come.

2) Failure to propose any plan for cutting fossil fuel production, instead focusing on the emissions, which opens the door to bogus claims like fossil carbon dioxide sequestration. That's because fossil fuel producers control the process, and don't want to see something like a 2-3% reduction in fossil fuel production per year, matched by an equivalent production of renewable tech.

3) Refusal to accept the huge costs required to move from fossil fuels to renewables, as well as the huge costs required to adapt to the ongoing warming, sea level rise, drought and flooding. It would require a redirection of the majority of each nation's GDP to infrastructure development, PV factory production, etc.

Fundamentally, the economic system adopted by fossil fuel producers (primarily investment capitalism) is incapable of the kind of long-term planning needed to deal with the problem. China is ahead of the curve on that (notably, China has no oil and gas reserves), not that many in the western world want to admit it.
Some people have been saying we are a cult, but they are not using the correct definition of "cult," in our opinion.
My nephew (PRESCHOOL1) loves: rubber boots, small friction-powered cars (unbreakable, no batteries, still uses them a year later), lego, giant jenga, colouring books. The more expensive toys are quickly ignored. He could get addicted to the games he plays (supervised) on Granny's tablet, so his time with those is limited.

General advice, but particularly for HN ;-): Everyone likes to exaggerate how smart their kid is. Please don't get them something beyond their grasp just to boost your own ego. Everyone ends up disappointed and the kid might think that $thing is boring, forever. If you're willing to sit with them and really help them with it that's different but even if you are, don't make it so hard that it's a chore.
It think this is mostly right. Within your point number (1), I see the problem as more to do with senior management.

Specifically I think the major disconnect is not so much between middle managers and IC's, it's between executives and the rest of the org.

Unfortunately I'm beginning to think that this is truly a case of misaligned incentives that may prove hard to fix. What I mean is that executives are directly incentivized to be in the office. Almost all of their career capital is tied up in relationships and patterns of decision making with other executives.

Good day for a manager or IC - 'Wow, I really got a lot done today and I'm moving the team goals forward.'

Good day for an executive - 'That conversation with Dan and Steve went really well.'

I’ve been wondering about canaries to watch out for, my initial thought was moderate mainstream journalists (Kara Swisher, Matthew Yglesias) who had talked about how much they value the platform, despite all the problems it had.

There are better competitors entering the market, but none can really compare to a Model S. The upcoming Hyundia Ionic 6 will likely be the industry leader, but it hasn't released in the US and last I checked didn't have US pricing, either.
I moved across the country a few years ago, and just a few months ago got a new phone on a new carrier. For a brief moment, I considered getting a new number. No more spam texts and calls (or at least different ones)? Having an area code matching where I lived? Seemed like positives, and it'd take me about 10 minutes to email or text my new number to the relevant parties.

I hadn't considered MFA because I use Authenticator and have most of my TOTP seeds in 1Password anyway, but man I'm thinking I dodged a bullet because there are a handful of things that use SMS only.

A friend of mine moved down to Mexico and bought land on a beach to build his dream off grid eco airbnb.

After he'd been there a while and had completed some construction, a bunch of police came walking up his drive armed with assault rifles. They were with a local politician's sister that's known in the area for various land scams. They tried to kick him off his land under some pretext. My friend stood his ground despite them threatening to shoot him. After a standoff they left.

Now in my friend's case he's a remote tech worker with plenty of income as well as a bunch of social/professional connections to a bunch of wealthy business owners in Mexico city. So he was able to get connected up with the right kind of lawyer to go intimidate the captain of the police office the goons came from.

What was recorded on the deed in the county office mattered not one bit in this scenario.
How many people do you talk with on WhatsApp? Also, how many of those live in very very different geographical areas? I feel twitter’s graph has much more edges, and the nodes (users) can’t be partitioned as well.

Also, Twitter does real-time data analysis, which is another of their money sources, and takes a huge amount of computing.
Newpipe is exceptionally buggy and unstable in my experience. yt-dlp always works vs. newpipe just randomly stops downloading anything until the phone is reset.

I also think that junior new engineers are less productive remote, because they can't absorb the context and experience of their more senior coworkers.

Hard to imagine what shareholder morale looks like for a company that has lost money for the better half of a decade.
The phone thing is a valid argument, but one that doesn't work for me.

I don't want to have to dig my phone out of my pocket, every time I want to know what time it is.

I don't like frivolous notifications, but I rely on important ones, and the Watch is pretty much perfect, for that.

Quite a bit; just it's mostly living in the direct to video bin, as it were. There's a whole world of pretty decent action flicks out there[1]. Scott Adkins, who's mentioned in that article, makes just about anything he's in worth watching and directors like Jesse V. Johnson, John Hyams, and Isaac Florentine[2] are solid. Oh, and there's a whole cache of good French action movies on Netflix -- Lost Bullet is a good place to start.

As a discovery mechanism, I'd recommend following Vyce Victus[3], who writes reasonably well about action movies.

Was also thinking it was a variation on a quine. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quine_%28computing%29)

There are variations on this article that I think could be useful to give some perspective on certain patterns of thought. The strange-loop aspect demonstrates how we can operate on a belief that originates from a circular reference, and as a consequence, the logic of our ideas and reasoning may not be consistent with the external world. If our conclusions justify indulging in an immoderate vice (e.g. the seven deadlies or another obvious list of things we know we are capable of choosing better options than) it's probably worth examining more closely.

I've moved from using Authy to Aegis Authenticator [0], it's open source and allows you to export an (optionally encrypted) backup of your OTP secrets offline. I trust that more than a cloud backup. Plus you can more easily migrate if Aegis ever goes unmaintained.

The only language I've seen pipe used with comments (not line comments though) is Common Lisp:

#|
This is a multi-line comment

And they can be nested because this is really just a reader macro

I don't think I've ever seen a standalone | for comments, especially since it's so often used as bitwise or logical or.

And here they use \ for bitwise or, and the word `or` for logical or.

The world's beliefs are many and varied. There are plenty of religious groups that provide a foundation for a healthy life instead of insisting they are the only means to achieving it.

In general, I'd agree. But one of the most productive word processing programs I ever used was WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS. (Not only because while using it you couldn't do anything else that distracted you.)

Okay, you couldn't do page layout for the company newsletter in it very well, but based on the .docx files I've gotten over the years, people can't do that now either.

I doubt the footprint difference would be in any way significant. Depends on the city layout maybe, even with the additional logistical difficulties. For many it is well worth it to escape the noise of high-density residential areas, especially with kids or for people that just like nature.

Your footprint is probably > 95% consumption anyway. I don't understand how high-density living seems to be so attractive to many here.
My 486 had boot sector protection in the BIOS. It would pop up a Y/N confirmation in text mode during boot sector overwrite.

This froze the windows 95 setup in graphical mode. Although the text prompt appeared for whatever reason the Y/N didn’t work and we could never continue.

So was never able to upgrade that machine.
The process of developing the AI will have bumps in the road but I am talking about the end state not the journey.
Yeah it reminds me of that episode of black mirror where you had to ride the exercise bike to get enough credits to go do something. Once you did a thing you weren't able to do it again unless you built up enough credits. That is where we are heading. IMO it will increase the wealth gap significantly.

I think it's fine to not offer all unsigned/signed variations, but in languages like TypeScript I often miss this distinction. Even Python differentiates between int and float where it is relevant, for example when indexing arrays. Sometimes you just don't want to mix the two.

> The important thing is to keep the basic features free from this method.

Sorry expedited charging is a premium feature, standard charging will take 10 hours.

The average speed limit across the US is 35 mph in order to go above that please purchase the "Premium Roadster Package" that will allow you to go up to 45mph for up to 30 minutes a day. If you need more than that for only a small price increase you can get the Unlimited roadster package that will allow you to use your 45 mph speed as much as you want (meaning 10 hours a day as statistically speaking almost no one uses it more than 5 and those that do are responsible for excessive wear and tear on roadways.)

What's that you need to go more than 45 mph. I'm sorry in order to travel faster than 45 mph you'll need a special driver's license, it was discovered that too many people die above 45 mph so the government restricted that privilege to only individuals specially licensed to operate a vehicle above 45 mph. The good news is anyone can get that kind of license just please complete the 8 hour safe driving course, accumulate 45 hours of driving time at the training track, and submit your application to get approved, which will be returned to you in less than a year. Unless you are a member of state or federal government then it will be given to you in taking office and be granted in perpetuity.

What if one were to create a laws of physics emulator, and then inside of it, assemble a brain from atoms/particles/etc ?

Or would it suffice to create a neuron emulator, and build a brain inside of it?

Could you train an AI on brain scans pulled from people thinking about various topics, and then have the AI direct the neuron emulator.

I'm just spitballing ideas with very little knowledge of how brains actually work.
That sounds just like Arrow's impossibility theorem, which shows that in every reasonable preferential voting system, there is a "dictator", somebody whose preferences match the result. (AFAIK it's derived from a fixed-point theorem.)

However, the word "dictator" is a misnomer; the "dictator" is not chosen ahead of time, changes on every vote and doesn't force his preferences on others in any way.
Thank you -- glad to hear there's been progress!
And that's fantastic for you, and I'm happy for you, but your WFH footprint will remain small and on average the total environmental footprint will go down because you aren't the average person. You happen to be an anomaly and we can't throw the baby out with the bath water, so to speak.
Main reason are costs for mass production, and nuances of technology, that electronic components usually made in very huge batches, then distributed to distribution network and lie on storage up to tens years.

So manufacturers made series of agreements, like "in 2020-2025 make e3; in 2025-2030 make e12".

There is no such thing as superhero fatigue or Star Wars fatigue or X fatigue. It's all just excusing bad content. The drive to fill out the Disney+ catalog with a bunch of series where constant release was the main focus and not quality or coherent stories made people stop watching. It was also a mistake to make the series contain relevant events for the movies to build from as well, since once a series was missed you could be out of the loop on key details for the next movie, but if there actually was widespread positive reception of all these shows it wouldn't be a major issue.
