That's how it works for every independence movement - a smaller entity asserts it's right to exist outside the boundary of a larger one. Fighting smaller entity is self-harm by the larger entity.

Look at the Chechen war in Russia, it was the same.
It’s often been posited that there are only seven plots that all stories are based on.

That being said, I just saw Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. I thought it dealt with personal issues very well. She Hulk as much as it was derided, was also a different type of MCU show and it was self aware enough to know that Marvel had gotten too formulaic.

I saw "riding the bike" in that Dark Mirror episode as an analogy for having an incredibly dull, repetitive job -- the implication being, of course, that most jobs are incredibly dull and repetitive. As an analogy, it probably wasn't too far off the mark!
One of my first experiences with VR was at Disneyquest in Florida in the late 90s/early 00s. It was absolutely wild.

Let’s not compare all employees to devs. Twitter has (had) absolutely business critical other teams, they are a very human-facing company. Does whatsapp have to make decisions whether to ban/unban a former US president? Also, I think Twitter gets a much more uneven usage - their daily usage is lower, but peaks can be similar (~1 billion user).

Also, graph algorithm’s likely don’t scale linearly, 10 times more edges may have much much more resource usage.
When I was in university around 15 years ago, the idea of peer-to-peer currency was floating around as an evolution of the tit-for-tat idea in BitTorrent, which was still popular at the time.

The expectation back then was that peer-to-peer would continue to evolve, especially in the area of distributed computing. Clouds did not exist yet, but projects like SETI@Home were having some success in terms of sharing compute resources. A peer-to-peer network could meter you for your consumption of compute resources through a lot of microtransactions in a virtual currency that avoided traditional banks or credit card providers.

Then came the first and least efficient implementation of peer-to-peer currency: Bitcoin, which did not sell the distributed computing capacity, but used it to do meaningless computations. It was clever, since up until that point the problem of zero-cost identity had been unaddressed, but appears to have few practical applications. It is surprising to me that people view it as some kind of alternative currency or store of value and send real currency to "trusted" exchanges. You deposit money just for the pleasure of doing a transaction? Yeh, sure, you don't need to agree on a global, trusted intermediary, but you still need to trust your exchange not to screw you over.

Ethereum is closer to the original ideas behind distributed computing and peer-to-peer currency, but the Internet has largely moved on from peer-to-peer networks. Today I can instantly get all the compute resources I need in a trustworthy, secure environment, and only pay for what I use. BitTorrent has also lost a lot much of its relevance with streaming services providing a greater level of convenience.
People wear sunglasses for lots of reasons, many of which are none of your business. They might be vision-impaired, have glaucoma, have dilated pupils from the eye doctor, or just be really hungover.

My friend and I in the room who just laughed, we said "Oh this is cool, what are you using to parse the caption files?" They mentioned my project and I said "Yeah I am the maintainer....." pretty sure nothing else was really said about it after that... Not as fun as you probably hoped but for me it was fantastic.
The mechanism auto lobbyists will (attempt to?) push through can be modeled after what we do with mobile modem software. For the uninitiated, there are open source stacks out there for running 4G, LTE base stations, and for the modems on the device side. However you're not allowed to operate them without FCC approval and licensing.

The car industry can similarly say, we can't legally stop you from modifying the software in a car you own, but we can get the government to outlaw anyone running un-govt-approved/unlicensed auto software on public roads.

Permissionless means hizbulla or the Syrian regime can make revenue generating financial products just as easily as an Australian. As long as there is conflict (forever), permissionless systems will not be embraced by the global powers. There is potential for lower permissions within some sort of financial sandbox where there’s strong controls at the entrance to the system and strong auditing and logging within the system, but there’s no potential for a global permissionless system.

For what it's worth the F-Droid folks are pretty tight about security, eg. they do manual reviews and insist on building apps themselves (often delaying updates). You can sometimes add additional repos to circumvent this curation and/or get faster updates (depending on whether the apps you're using have such a third-party repo).

The logo is black, which seems to qualify as "green or black"?

Red and white are also very common (ottoman flag, turkey, tunisia).

"Star and crescent" has been common muslim iconography since the 14th century, and the ottoman empire (which introduced them).
I encourage you to read the HN guidelines:

Some subscriptions make sense. Someone is doing work for you every week, like trash collection, and you pay as you need their work.

This said, your point largely stands.
Interestingly I can work much better with music (usually something like Brian Eno / Biosphere etc) in the background. But after reading Atomic Habits, where he mentioned a friend doing that, I think having the headset on is a much stronger cue than the music itself. Tested it out by being able to achieve a similar focus without any music with just the headset on.
There are lots of electric vans, mostly for urban use. At this point, most courier and post office vans I see in Dublin are electric (as are, mildly oddly, the electricity network's maintenance vans; this seems like it could go wrong in a major outage...)

They usually seem to be this: https://www.citroen.ie/models/berlingo-van.html

Smallish range and payload, but then you don't really _need_ that much for a lot of urban applications.

As to why they're not highlighted in the article, they're generally not aimed at consumers (and that article is from a consumer magazine). Consumers don't buy these things, as a general rule.
Do you have a subscription to electric power? The standard model is just pay for use.

We used to spend $400 a month on gasoline because we both commuted 25 minutes each way. During the pandemic that was down to about $100 a month. And when we did have to go somewhere the traffic was so much lower so less wasting gas in stop and go traffic. I'm supposed to go in 3 days a week. In reality I go in once a week for a few hours and no one cares as 90% of the people on my project are in other offices. I told my manager "What is the point of driving in to put on my headset and disturb everyone with my meetings while trying to block out the noise of everyone else on their meetings?" He couldn't argue with that so he hasn't pushed the in office thing.

When I had an office with a door and window I liked going in. It was a good mix of seeing people and privacy. I hate the 1 year of cubicle stuff after 15 years in an office with a door. Then the pandemic hit and I really hate cubicles even more.
Amazon has never paid dividends to investors. Its only value is to invest against interest rates or inflation. In fact, if investors wanted dividends it might upset the ability of Amazon to provide its objective. It's stable, but only philosophical. This isn't a land investment or something. It's an extension of a long term trend of consumerism.
If you can work from home, you have plenty of lifestyle choices that do not lead to a higher environmental impact.

Choosing the one that will damage environment more is a luxury choice. It does sound weird to me that this is considered as the only alternative.
I'd think about it as a "Linux" car, in the sense that you'd have an open source operating system for cars, the manufacturer would just supply drivers for the hardware (like graphic cards drivers).
Bob Iger Returns as Disney CEO
I said women shouldn’t be defined by their fertility. This is inclusive of XX women. You blindly interpreted it as an argument to separate biological sex from gender.

The comment I responded to claimed that referring to someone by a biological function such as menstruating was objectifying. I don’t think that follows, because being fertile is not a requirement to be a woman.

Further, if all that matters to you to define biological sex is karyotype regardless of biological expression, that is like a religion.

Yeah, it makes me wonder, if his trans child had committed suicide, would he be against bullying trans folk? I'm firmly in support of his decision to ban Alex Jones, but this is why things should be rules based instead of the emotional whims of the owner, because there are so many other examples of trauma that should probably be mitigated that Musk hasn't personally experienced. But instead we get a set of rules based on Musk's own personal life experience.

I'm not arguing for or against any specific precept. I'm not a Buddhist.

My analogy was meant to out point that the argument, "I believe everything you believe, except for this one thing" is sophomoric, as the number of things we agree on matters less than the weight of what we disagree on – and vice versa.
Businesses are not built on things they sell, they are built on the customer problems they help solve.

If you build microprocessors, you better understand how your clients are using them to create electronic devices, and provide all the services and documentation they may need. A less potent microprocessor paired with a website that perfectly explains how to use it and what use cases it supports will win any day over a more powerful chip that no one understands.
Great observations!
It may be more significant to have open communication protocols and hardware abstraction layer. This would allow the “AI” bits be evaluated independently by safety orgs. An outcome would be to enable companies like comma.ai to replace/supplement OEM vehicle control.

This approach does not address the value model of a vehicle. I think subscriptions work well as a method of price differentiation—if you don’t want it, don’t subscribe, and if you change your mind down the road you can add it without fuss.
Expensive high precision parts, are not in this scheme, they allocated by direct requests, like Toshiba manufacture high-end transistors, and order for them high-end resistors with some exact value.

No - it was marketing. The older Filesystem was a full on database and would allow the user to do all kinds of weird and wonderful things with metadata. But the Filesystem interface in BeOS prior to PR1 (well, technically AA) made it almost a herculean feat to interface an external non native file system to the OS.

BFS was written in a way that complied to a file system API that could then support other non-BFS file systems being plugged in. But because it was written in more of a traditional file system way, the database features got massively cut down to just attributes and indexes with live queries. It was a trade off. The database hype built by the DR releases (mainly for BeBox, I think only one made it publicly to Mac) was maintained because the attributes sort of mimicked the bare minimum functionality needed to tick a marketing box. But BFS really doesn't do much more than some other file systems have since done.

The OFS was more like the SQLServer based WinFS that Longhorn was going to have.

Hasn't really developed, it just has a tiny population while also having a lot of diamonds. Its economy is still almost entirely extractive.

It's probably best compared to something like Qatar, where the hope is it'll be able to use the diamond wealth to found another industry.
I’m fairly sure that’s just the idiot “shutdown is replaced by hibernate” of Windows doing something hard to explain. In short, if you press on the shutdown option in Windows it will instead hibernate by default to make “boots” faster. You have to shift-+click on the poweroff option on the menu for the behavior you want.

What probably happens is that it assumes it is the only OS and goes into another mode if not used for a few days? (This part I’m not sure about but the previous paragraph is true). But perhaps Ubuntu is your default in the boot order? Nonetheless, try to poweroff your windows with this shift+click and check if that solves the problem.

> There is already USDC, USDT, DAI that are all US dollars.

They would dearly like you to believe that they are dollars.

To date the dollar-backing of USDT at least has not been substantiated and I don't think I know anyone in the cryptocurrency space who thinks any of those are actually real and responsible--they're just trying not to be the ones caught with the bag when the music stops and actual money is called in.
If you really want to help your colleagues, make it as easy to print as humanly possible. ;-)

I don’t know how many times I’ve had to help older people I work with who are at the end of their chain trying to figure out how to simply print some document, work-related or otherwise. It should be plug and play but it usually isn’t. Technology is really not that intuitive for people who didn’t grow up with it, and what they need is frequently quite different than what “we” (digital natives, I guess) need. Accessibility’s a bitch!
The same issue comes up when trying to sell (high fidelity) aircraft simulators for general aviation aircraft.

I was once at a talk with several medical technology founders. One of them namechecked specific legislation that enabled their solution to come to market. And so I asked, "How do you survive if only 1 law is prying open the opportunity for your business?"

They replied that their business exists to solve a need -- a need that exists regardless of the specific regulations. Should the regulations shift, a company motivated beyond a specific solution will adapt to keep meeting its customers' needs.

Consciousness is inherently temporal. Our "AI-s" should not be prompt-based, but have an event loop which is always "thinking" about the things that are encoded in it, inputs it's currently receiving, and previous inputs it has received so far.

The Dems cancel culture will get the final say. I had a feeling once Musk bought twitter they would attack and attempt to shut down / cancel all of twitter, cause “orange man bad”. Dems just can understand the damage controlling speech does.
Requiring students to print out assigned reading is ridiculous though. I'd also argue that they should print the assignments out themselves if they want a paper copy to use as opposed to making students do it, though I suppose that's also a budgetary thing (fob the costs onto the students, where it's spread out more).
Oh yes, the subscription fatigue is real! I can barely stand to create new login accounts for things I actually need anymore, much less things I only marginally want.

This reminds me of the survey fatigue I experienced 10+ years ago. All of a sudden it seemed that every company and organization was attempting to get you to do email or phone surveys. I made a hard rule then I've stuck to ever since - if your for-profit company wants valuable time and information from me, pay me first.
> I find it interesting they didn't block you.

It could be because I wasn't spamming them with tweets i.e. I only sent them about 14 tweets total between their two handles over the course of a week, but I can see how they might've blocked someone else doing the same.

> Also, would this be affected by the latest changes at Twitter?

Sorry, I'm not familiar with those changes, so I'm not sure.

Traditionally, the real value that comes with owning a media outlet is not revenue generation, it's being able to manipulate public opinion and promote certain narratives over others.

The fact that Musk seems to view it instead as mostly a lark, a meta-trolling game that's looking more like The Onion writ large, with no real expectation that satire and parody can reliably be distinguished from 'serious journalism' (which has, again traditionally, included a lot of state-corporate propaganda) - this seems to be raising institutional hackles.

It might be an attempt to mimic Tik-Tok's success by switching Twitter over to essentially an entertainment channel?
