Well, it's not very long. This is my best effort summary.

Paragraph 1: There's lots of news

2: US Conservatives [*], and other authoritarians around the world identify with and support Putin. Further they identify with and support fossil energy resource extraction (PREE).

3. PREE are afraid of renewables.

4. PREE + Authoritarians are doing propaganda

5. Authoritarians don't want young adults to vote.

6. The young adults are not in favor of authoritarianism.

7; The old authoritarians will die.

Eight - Elon is in favor of disruptive change.

9ine ~ The disruptive change is going to have consequences.

10: No one likes Twitter.

E11even: Bitcoin is OK, right guys? (sarcasm)

* Not all US Conservatives are authoritarian, just the ones in charge right now. If you are a US Conservative reading this, then you are not an authoritarian, unless you wish to be identified as such.

It seems like it's trying to simplify the tech stack, so I thought it might be something the author was interested in.
That's surprising to me, given how much effort AWS put into emulating old instances types using newer instances to still be able to offer instances with the characteristics of old instance types to customers. [1]

Do you have additional information about that you can share (maybe an announcement regarding this made by AWS)?

Sure if doing so ends with a self determining Ukraine. It ain’t the US who is to blame for not averting a war Russia started
If/when you do buy an EV, check the low temperature battery life.

My EV has a heat pump, but still looses a ton of range under 0F-32F or so (which doesn't matter at all around here). This varies widely from brand to brand.

On the other hand, the traction control is eerily good thanks to the computer controlled throttle and instantaneous response from the motor (it is RWD, not 4WD, and performs close our 4WD RAM on mud that is difficult to walk through)
There is no time from the 2000s on where the SF rental market crashed; median rents dropped slightly after the 2008 financial crisis as they did nationally, but bounced back faster than the national trend.

Exactly. It was kinda awkward at first, but after the first dozen or so times doing it I realized that the servers don't really think that much of it. Most of the time when asked what I'd like I just say, "Oh, I'm okay with water." It might make a difference that I live on the West coast(California), so special diets are pretty normal.
The Taliban achieved their war goals, but they didn't eliminate or degrade the US ability to conduct offensive operations. They failed to put a dent in our tank fleet or airforce (to name two components). In that sense, the two conflicts have been very different. Ukraine is waging a conventional war, whereas the Taliban used asymmetric guerilla warfare.
These are the implications of Godel's incompleteness theorems. No formal system expressive enough to encode arithmetic can simultaneously be both complete and prove its own consistency, because there will always be true propositions expressible in that system that cannot be proven in that system.

This is why Hilbert's program to finitely axiomatize mathematics can't be completed. The "escape hatch" here is simply that not all propositions are actually interesting, so finite axiomatizations are still very useful, and we can extend the axiomatic basis as needed given satisfactory justification. This last part is the only place where social consensus sometimes comes into play (continuum hypothesis, etc).

Edit: there is another possible escape hatch that hasn't been fully explored IMO, and that's some variant of finitism. All these impossibility proofs depend on infinite structures to derive incompleteness or contradiction, but if infinite structures are not expressible...

I mean... yes, but the order there is hilarious.

Personally it would be killing, breading, and eating.
Can you please not post shallow dismissals, or comments in the flamewar style generally, to HN? You've unfortunately been doing that quite a bit, and we're trying for something else here.

We have a GPS time server (so stratum one) that is set to GPS time, so it's off from UTC by almost twenty seconds because they don't ever apply leap seconds. I love it. Another part of the org pressed me to correct my time to match UTC, but I'm so happy to be done dealing with time changes that I just replied "monotonic time" until they got their own. A few grand to not have those problems is such a bargain!
What the actual metric fuck.
Casualty =! KIA.

100k casualty would mean between 20k and 33k KIA depending on if the army is on the offense and if the medical supply are well distributed.

Russia isn't getting richer, everyone is getting poorer because of this conflict (it's econ 101).

I also know someone in the French military industry (big wig at Thales) who is extremely happy of how the russian equipment performed and actively recruit right now because he knows that even if the conflict end quickly, there is now way Russia keep its second place as world arms dealers, and already have a selling point about how the only russian equipment that wasn't disappointing used Thales optics, electronics and/or avionics. Don't know if it's real, but it seems backed by data and i don't see why he would lie to me (he knows i'm not interested).
I think we'll settle for them expending all their arms in Ukraine and losing their aggressive invasion. Winter cuts both ways.
I can also just accept the risk.

(I already do all my important work on Linux, since like 20 years)
I mean, that’s not far off what’s already happened and the response in recent decades been some tough talk but nothing further.

Nor was there any movement in the direction of Ukraine joining NATO, so that’s no analogue.
> A company that slowly goes to $0

Either way, the forward is 0. I'd rather see a company run itself aground by paying its employees and slowly bleeding money than to see it fail due to mis-valuation of its holdings. The former is unfortunate, but the latter is an embarrassment for all stakeholders.
I think of all social networks I've used, Twitter was the best at 'getting out of my echo chamber'.

I was able to discover about multiple topics I got interested in, got to read about a lot more technical stuff that otherwise I wouldn't ever heard of it but it's interesting (and even useful to my job!).

And I also found 2 jobs through twitter, that's two more jobs than through linkedin!
The originalist interpretation of Thomas, Gorsuch and Alito seems correct to me. The 4th Amendment refers to "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures." Cellphone records do not belong to the person who owns the cellphone generating that data, nor are they papers or effects in the way the Amendment was meant to refer, nor an intrusion onto a person's private property, therefore the Amendment shouldn't apply.

Also, as of now SCOTUS has decided a right to privacy doesn't exist within the Constitution. They were willing to get rid of that in order to overturn Roe V. Wade.

The problem with wanting an originalist interpretation of the Constitution is that the Constitution doesn't really say what most people think it does.
The density can be constant, but it doesn't have to be. If the density field starts out with some variation in it, then those variations move around as the fluid flows. Incompressibility just means that those density variations can't get bigger or smaller, they can only move, shear, and rotate.

> For a while there was a theory going around that this is why Americans typically do not have electric kettles, because they would boil much slower in the USA, but the real answer is that Americans just don't drink much tea.

What dedicated defenses did the Taliban have? The only thing the Taliban did successfully was wait for the US to leave.
Define "obscene amounts". Ukraine shoots like 6.000 155mm rounds per day. US manufacturers can't produce that much, US government is currently doing market survey for potential new manufacturers, because Army reserves were severely depleted.
There's something really hilarious and ironic about the statement "Our society is deeply sick" in the context of the rest of your comment.
Ok, we've put Me in the title above. Thanks!
I keep hearing from Western pundits that Russian economy is tanking, but isn't it the other way around? The US economy is doing very bad, energy prices are skyrocketing, and Europe is looking into a freezing cold winter. Meanwhile Russia has surplus energy and is making global strategic alliances with China and India and other potentially smaller player. Turkey is playing the role of a neutral mediator between Russia and the West. The US doesn't even have its house in order: massively polarized society with the gap between left/right drifting wider and deeper.
Blessed you are.
The change will happen slowly, and then very quickly.

Look to Australia where renewables are being installed at very high rates.

There are many areas where they are dominating the power mix for large portions of the day.
The Jan 6 people no more represent the Republican mainstream than the BLM rioters burning down buildings represent the Democrat mainstream.

Jan 6 was odd though. The only death by gunshot was one of the protestors.
Clearly it was a disorganised rabble that was easily removed.
Looking at the videos it was obvious they were surprised to be let inside in the building and were wandering around in confusion thinking "now what".

And I have to agree with Elon, you only have to look at any political thread to see the endless river of nastiness and bile coming from the left. They are not remotely the people they think they are. They are just your standard, garden variety haters hiding behind a very thin "cloak of virtue".
Considering it cost 2 trillion for a war on terror that yielding little results: yeah the defeat of our closest peer rival for a fraction of that is an economical buy
Serenity is still on the list of things I need to try out. Can't say anything about it at the moment.

But I have to admit that regardless the hype around it I don't think that it's particularly interesting. I see it as just yet another Unix clone; with exactly zero innovation behind it. Even Redox, which I consider being a complete failure, tried some seemingly new concepts (and uses a micro kernel which makes it at least a little bit less "mainstream").

Haiku is rock solid. Very interesting project! But I would not put it in the basket with toy or research OSes, though. It's based on something that had even quite some commercial success. But yes, Haiku is definitely an "alternative OS". It would have been better if I worded this part differently, I guess, as I'm mostly interested in "experimental" OS architectures and less in "random" alternative OSes. (So, for example I've never tried to run TempleOS, or such things; also I didn't put much effort to run historic ones, when they where just Unix clones; there are quite some of these out there I guess).

Haiku is much more complete than HelenOS of course. You can do all the basic computer things with it. It has quite some applications. I still remember the time when BeOS, its successor, was actually even much more usable in a GUI setting than Linux, which barely run X and some fvwm2 windows with terminal emulators—whereas BeOS had fancy multi-media players and 3D graphics at that time. Haiku has this apps still, but that's much less impressive today of course.

Haiku is for example much more polished than say Hurd. There is a "working" Debian/Hurd version out there. But it was so buggy last time I've tried! Things were constantly crashing or not working at all. The last time I've tried to run Haiku I didn't find anything that was servery broken there.

HelenOS feels comparable stable to Haiku. But there is almost nothing besides the bare OS. I think it had a kind of "packet manager" the last time I've tried but this didn't work well for me. Also there were almost no applications available. But that's not a bad sign as I think the most work goes into the OS as such. Which is good! The few things that were there on the surface were like I've said snappy and working without crashes. Which is imho already an achievement when compared with a lot of other OS projects (e.g. Redox, Hurd, unikernel / library-OSes, or just a "tuned" Linux build ;-)).
Sure. Lots of public figures that I’ve heard of, but don’t follow, make statements on Twitter.

When I come across those statements previously, if it says George Bush with a blue check, I just trusted that George Bush made that statement. Now, I don’t. So, what used to be a fairly reliable way to get to a pretty solid primary source for plenty of statements has become unreliable. I’m not really worried about over the top parody, that’s easy to spot, but more subtle impersonations really concern me.

If, say, the Defense Minister of a foreign country posts something provocative, it’s much harder for me to know if they really posted that or not.

It doesn’t impact me as a user who posts things, but it has a serious impact on me as a user who wants to validate that X person really did say Y.
Most slave-labouring humans aren't much more than pigs in the fable's sense.
Sure is!

Even if that was his point, it's wrong. Breyer (interestingly, Breyer was mugged and robbed at least twice) and Ginsburg often sided with the conservatives in voting to invade our privacy, but Kagan and Sotomayor are pretty reliable defenders of privacy, and from the arguments I've listened to so far from this term, I'm confident KBJ holds even stronger pro-privacy 4A views than Kagan and Sotomayor. And even with Breyer and Ginsburg voting against privacy somewhat regularly, in the biggest 4A case of the past few years, Carpenter v US [0], Breyer, Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor, and CJ Roberts voted that the 4A protects individuals against warrantless searches of cell-site records (ie the cell tower records that include frequent pings of every cell phone using that tower).

So even if that was OPs point, it's wrong.

Are you saying USA provoked the war, or somehow haven't done enough to avert it? If you remember events before the beginning of confrontation, it seems that USA was bending outwards trying to prevent invasion. What else could we do?

That, in fact, is how I figured it went. I did not get to see the video, so everything remains speculation.
This is why you need to defund the police.
Sorry, but it takes a bit more than a snide post on a forum to annoy me haha. The OPs question is very open ended, so what you're seeing is a lot of general answers. Whether you like it or not, form is an essential part of front-end development. The best designs have form AND function, which is understandably a difficult thing to get right.

For what its worth, I never said OP should prioritize CSS, you are assuming my stance improperly, something you probably do often. I merely suggested you be helpful and give constructive criticism rather than shoving half an opinion down another's throat.
I'm not a Twitter person so seeing this "Mastodon good, Twitter bad" again and again on HN is really tiring.

Mastodon fails because of UX issues, this is not a FOSS issue. I love and support FOSS but Mastodon as a project is trying to provide a bubble as an alternative to another bubble. It does not make the situation better if people still are stressing out over ideologies of other users on the internet.

I guess I'm too tired of social media in general, it's usually fueled by rage-bait, creating ideological bubbles and make people think the end is near just because there are people with different opinions and experiences.
> Has corporate America never had layoffs?

Anyone who entered the tech industry in past decade+ has never experienced layoffs at this scale before. Young techies have experienced good times and high salaries. And the transition was quick -- just two quarters ago big companies were hiring techies by the hundred, now they're laying them off by the thousands. A lot of posters here assumed that in the worst case if their current gig failed they could go work on boring software for a year or so before finding something new, but now there's a lot more competition for that plan B job. And heaven help you if you're on a visa, have a health problem, or have a family -- could you be laid off next, and if so where do you go?
I run an engineering department so I’m not speaking from ignorance here. 0 days and bugs making it into prod is a red herring that isn’t part of the discussion. We’re talking about a production platform outright failing because it’s a sinking ship being kept with duct tape.

If Twitter is failing that easily, these engineers deserve to be laid off
No.

What will help you is that `clear()` is part of `Java.until.Collection` so just about every container has it.

If we divide out the US defense budget to the threats it faces, Russia would perhaps be of the order of $100bn-150bn in spend-to-threat. So spending just $40bn a year, erodes a threat value of $100-150bn, a two-to-three time return

Does the money given to Ukraine come out of the defense budget, or does it come on top?

If it's the latter, then the above sentence makes no sense. $40bn is less than $100, but so what when it's in addition to it?
Then entire point of science is reproducibility. If it's true, it's reproducible.
It is still assault and kidnapping, just legally sanctioned, and for some reason we feel compelled to call it an "arrest". Just because its LEO performing the assault doesn't make it any less of an assault.
Thanks for posting this, and your learngenomics.dev resource looks great - I'm looking forward to reading this though.

Actually I think genomics / bioinformatics is a counterpoint there. One of the things I like about the field is nearly every file format is under-engineered. It's TSV all the way down and if you need compression gzip it. If you need to index that, sort it (literally often with unix sort command) and block-gzip it. Anything more engineered arose specifically because the above failed and something more is actually needed.

The downside is it's a giant hellscape of unstructured, poorly specified formats where data types are barely specified at all or if they are most of the schema is published on some rambling blog post by some rando scientist. You will spend most of your time understanding it by empirical reverse engineering of the data that you are trying to deal with.
It is intentionally framed that narrow, because this article is a direct refutation of the idea that aid should be discontinued because the price tag is too expensive.
I like the new one better. About 120 days in. I can see how it sucks for people who are deep in, 300+ days etc. I would love to see a page with more dense menus for drilling into subjects, selecting what you want to learn, etc.
Getting up and running on Mastodon went fine for me, I just signed up and tried it, with minimal hassle.

Nova at hachyderm.io seems to be doing a great job managing the tsunami of signups, as people flee Twitter.

I do like the social architecture of communities with their local flavor.

imo, many of our systems are hyper-centralized and thus brittle - I guess Id seen adverts increase in Twitter and was going to move at some point.

I dont want to be on a platform that can be killed due to a single entity [ be it rage-quit, selling out to ad revenue, government overreach, conservative religion etc ] I do worry about youtube and reddit for this reason. These things seem like societal infrastructure which should be at least partly 'owned' by the content creators / consumers.

When I go back to poke around Twitter it just seems like a hot mess.. Im glad I left. I do feel some nostalgia towards it, they built a cool thing.

Twitter is dead .. long live the internet.
Hi,

I also live in Europe. Here some quick suggestions from person who is quite interested in trading and investing:

1. Save few months of cash reserves to have freedom if things goes south.

2. Start reading about investing and ETFs and Indexes.

3. Start invest in small sums in ETFs and or Bonds. There are two ways:

3.1. If you want to transfer and forget, you can try some of the RoboAdvisors, which will buy ETFs/Bonds for you with assigned percentage. I personally use ETFMatic [1] for couple of years without any issues.

3.2. If you want to buy ETFs by yourself, you can open brokerage account. As I read that you are from Europe, we mostly use Degiro [2] or IBKR [3] here. I use IBKR personally. You will be safer with ETFs, rather than single stocks. One of the recommended ETFs, would be VWCE, which Tin short - tracks World economy. As my colleagues say, VWCE and Chill.

4. Try to avoid single stocks, crypto and investment gurus and get rich quick schemes.

5. Happy and safe investing!

You can find more information about European ETFs on justetf.com [4]

Not all bubbles are bad though. Hacker News is very much a bubble. Mastodon looks like a collection of bubbles, some small, some big, with movement allowed between them.
