I love the interesting stuff coming out of South Korea. It's great to see foreign directors getting their due again.

I get why Tarantino divides people. He's sort of low brow, lowest common denominator cinema. But he loves spectacle, and he knows how to make things cinematic. In my mind, he's America's answer to Leone. Flashbacks and non linear storytelling, larger than life characters with larger than life conflicts, and use of music as a central part of the film experience. In many ways you could argue he's been copying Leone's style his entire career.

I miss Leone. We got so few films from him. But what films! No one other than Tarntino/Rodriguez (maybe Coen brothers) has really carried any of this kind of cinematic storytelling forward. Tarantino at his best has Leones sense of timing, subtle wit, conflict, and ability to suprise. But they miss most of the subtleties Leone brought, the subtext of humanity and tragedy hiding just below the surface of his films. Tarantino is simply spectacle, Leone was something greater.
It really doesn’t require it, not here anyway where comments are supposed to be substantive.

I hope it doesn’t seem supporting the HN guidelines is, against fun or anything. I think it’d be great to hear at some social get-together or even as part of a tech talk.

One problem with it here is as you can see are long cascading joke reply comments which make it hard for interesting comments to be seen.

It's unethical to offer much credit to young people though.

Many around ~20 don't have a sense for financial responsibility yet, and will rack up debt without being aware of the consequences.

Banks & Co. couldn't care less though, a young person in debt will have all its life to pay up, so why not just shower them in money.
I don't think I really disagree with this. Mortgages are so unbelievably stupid and if they weren't the norm wouldn't be invented again. The people taking out mortgages have no idea if they'll have stable income for 15 or 30 years because such a thing is impossible. So long as your ability to pay your mortgage is tied to your ability to work you have no guarantees at all.
My understanding was that long-term fixed rate mortgages were not common at all outside of the US and like France.

This is from 2010 but has some good charts. https://business.sdsu.edu/_resources/files/real-estate/resea...

Anecdotally it meshes with some things I've heard elsewhere but don't hold me to it:

- Canadian mortgages are typically something like 5 years.

- UK is similar, it's either variable, or fixed for something super short, like 2-3 years.

- Australia same kind of boat, most are variable, I've heard the interest rates during covid temporarily reversed the trend, but same deal, they're only fixed for a few years.
What's amazing is the USA allows foreign land purchases to nations that strictly forbid it.
When Tesla at some point decides to build Petafactory, costing almost their entire profits for the year, will this guy make another thread about Tesla not being in the car but in the tequila business, because the revenue from https://teslatequila.tesla.com/ roughly matches up with their yearly profits?

What an idiotic thread. Would downvote if I had enough karma to do so.
This is really interesting. I wasn't aware that interrupts were handled differently on NVMe disks. The falling back to polling during busy times is similar to the way network device drivers do NAPI then?
Please seriously consider replying in good faith, or not at all.
I’ve been using render.com. Pretty good alternative.
Citing Q1 raises red flags. A lot of things happen only at the beginning of the year, so it's not representative of the rest of the year. (Similarly, citing Q4 alone would also raise my eyebrows).

Results from all four quarters of last year are available. He could have used the annual result to bolster his argument - except of course the annual results debunk his argument.
Except my understanding is you can’t copyright it. Which might be an issue, depending on what you are doing with it.
You are correct, of course. Helping everyone succeed is not only possible but preferable. The tricky bit is people really really like to feel superior to each other. They love status. And unlike success, status can always be gained by putting another person down.
> social policy in a new way that focuses on programs aimed at raising up all people and avoids pitting one identity group against another?

We know what those social policies are. We do not enact them. Why? Because men do not want to enact them because what they provide is not seen as "manly."

There is nothing mysterious here. Woman in general decided they wanted better, and men are holding on to an oppressive mindset. We can't revert back to what it once was, because that was walking on the backs of others.

But there is a LOT of opposition to that way of thinking and that mindset, from both men and women.
The financially responsible move of course being to call that debt a “mortgage” and then spend the rest of your life stifling all attempts to build more housing.
TFA explicitly says that the rise of women is not responsible for the fall of men. I think the point he was trying to make was that, if gender equality was never taken up, the issues facing men today would still be issues facing men today.
according to this: https://cao.lacity.org/budget22-23/2022-23Budget_Summary.pdf

the Los angeles Police is 1.9b of a 4.9b departmental operational city budget, but there are 600m appropriations and 6.2b non departmental that are in other areas, that aren't terribly clear. So if you have 1.9b of a 11.7b budget, that about 16%.

It looks like property tax accounts for the largest chunk of revenues--20%--but keep in mind that property tax usually fund school districts and county covernment as well (here in NM something like 90% of county budget is property tax.)

So yes, at any place you happen to live your taxes and other governmental fees can easily go to a number of different entities, so while it may be true that LAPD accounts for 16% of the LA budget, it amounts to a much smaller percentage of the taxes you pay.

(Its also possible that the LAPD budget receives funding from other sources and is not accounted in the 1.9b above.)
This whole things looks more and more embarrassing. From the outside it just looks like the US is struggling to compete and so they create extrajudicial barriers based on "secret evidence" to block competitors.

The hypocrisy is that this is the exact anti-competitive behavior the US has been criticizing China for years.

It's possible these companies are doing nefarious things. In which case create a country-agnostic legal framework and take them to court and prove your case. If it's all super-secret-spy-stuff then just do the damn parallel construction and show all these secret backdoors you claim to have found.

If you don't like foreign equipment near military bases or whatever else, then make laws against it

After the Bloomberg microchips-embedded-into-motherboards fantasy stories you can't help but think all this is the product of some CIA director's overactive imagination and isn't based on reality. It does feed into the US frothing-at-the-mouth anti-China rhetoric of the past few years so people eat it up - but cutting out the judicial process and singling out companies/countries just looks horrible imho

>If you sell water bottles for a $2/ea loss, and the government makes soda companies pay you $3 for each bottle of water... you don't have a good business

Why is that not a good business? It makes profit. How is a profit making enterprise not a good business? If someone gave you that business for free would you refuse to take it? Why would anyone refuse free money?

>Hyundai recently spent the equivalent of Tesla's quarterly revenue (not profit) just to build a new EV assembly line. They are small and insignificant in grand scheme of the auto industry.

Source? All I see is that they are building a $5.5 billion EV factory, and Tesla's revenue last quarter was $21.5 billion dollars. From where are you getting your information?

>They are small and insignificant in grand scheme of the auto industry.

How are they small and insignificant when the below is true:

>Tesla reported net profit of $2.3 billion for the second quarter ended June 30, up 98% year-over-year, outperforming GM whose net profit was $1.7 billion, down 40.3%. The Austin, Texas automaker even made three times more money than Ford, which reported a net profit of $667 million, up 19% year-over-year.

Thanks for posting this. I currently pay a fair amount per month to keep a thing I used to work on alive. I did the migration - only took a minute - but I thought long and hard about just killing it. In the end I couldn’t do it. Too much of my life went into that project.

This is going to sound stupid, but the real advice is that if you don't have the money to pay your ER bill just don't pay it. The hospital can and will wait, offer you a lower bill, send it to collections where you can negotiate lower than that.

Don't take on debt to pay debt.
I feel like I don't really have any moral problem with US passing laws to protect US interests, as long as the laws aren't super unreasonable or evil. They're, like, unfair to some people, but not.. really... morally wrong? The moral complaint about China isn't that they have anti-competitive laws, it's the Orwellian thought-suppression psy-ops stuff.
I'm not sure about the actual situation, but I have an option in my cloudflare dashboard to automatically save my site to the way back machine and fall back to that if the origin is ever down, so that's a totally plausible explanation
> I never understood why people use all this stuff ... Now the issue of logs is real. I tried to configure debian to remove noise from the logs and I couldn't.

Sounds like you understand at least one reason people use stuff like this (including, most prominently, fail2ban). Rate limiting and banning IPs trying to brute force and/or probe open ports (not just SSH) goes a long way to cleaning up your logs, your real time state, as well as other things, like frustrating the attacker, not wasting connections on them.

Having said that, this particular tool looks a bit shit ...

This is awesome, never heard of it until now. Seriously cool bit of software. Love that it uses Courier Prime as well, it's my default font everywhere!
In the sense that it is official US government policy to describe China as a rival, as distinct from even the neutral "partner". Most recently this is said in the US national security strategy from October, which declares that it is a central task of US foreign policy to oppose Chinas vision for the world.

Another examples is that the DoD has for quite a long time declared China as the primary adversary, or as they politely say it "pacing challenge".
Werner Heisenberg: "In the history of science, ever since the famous trial of Galileo, it has repeatedly been claimed that scientific truth cannot be reconciled with the religious interpretation of the world. Although I am now convinced that scientific truth is unassailable in its own field, I have never found it possible to dismiss the content of religious thinking as simply part of an outmoded phase in the consciousness of mankind, a part we shall have to give up from now on. Thus in the course of my life I have repeatedly been compelled to ponder on the relationship of these two regions of thought, for I have never been able to doubt the reality of that to which they point.” From “Scientific and Religious Truth” (note that Heisenberg was a devout Lutheran from what I have read)

- A/C is nice.

- I certainly can't afford to fly anywhere.

- I pretty much don't care about package delivery times most of the time.

- Radio is nice, as is Youtube (don't have a TV anymore). But back then you could count on everyone and their uncle to carry a tune or play an instrument. These days most of us can't make our own music to enjoy anymore, and are fully dependent on radio or streaming.

- Most movies aren't worth watching. The live theater experience is great though, even when it's done by amateurs.

- Being expected to carry around a phone kind of sucks, especially for those like me who don't connect to data services. No, I can't check my email on my phone.

- I just spent 2/3rds of my life savings replacing a car I crashed with a used car that gets worse gas mileage than the old car. It would be nice not needing a car to commute with.

- "Thai red curry or Vindaloo chicken or Vietnamese Pho or a falafel". As stated above, I'm out of luck for that anyway. I can't even justify buying the better tasting pasta sauces anymore. Still, I get it. But the funny thing is I don't crave tastes that I've never tasted before. So I don't see access to ethnic foods as that much enriching.

- I do think the bare bones Comcast internet connection is worth the $53 per month it costs.

- I've been to a primary care physician once in the past couple of decades. An emergency room twice, a broken bone clinic once, and about twenty years ago needed my head stitched up from a snowboarding accident (which wouldn't have happened had I lived long ago). I've always healed fast from cuts without needing antibiotics.

- That era was the nadir of medical childbirth.

- Fluoride is quite nice, but haven't been to a dentist in 8 years.

- Regular specs have always been fine with me.

- Birth control is nice.

- But they had ragtime, man.

Yeah. The problem is a political conflict, not lack of awareness or ideas.

I think you vastly underestimate just how much slower DRAM is compared to cache (SRAM). Your super fast CPU will be sitting idly doing nothing if it were not for the caches between it and DRAM, which keep it fed with data and instructions.
This seems inaccurate. Engineering isn't a branch of mathematics: it relies on empirical results ("observations") and theory from physics (which also is empirical). Mathematics is not science. Engineering is science. Engineering (huge simplification, here) is essentially one experiment after another.
Well I’m glad there are so few conservatives worldwide and throughout history who are lonely! A lot less people to worry about then.
Let me just say that I don't doubt LAPD is too expensive. I'm just saying, if we're making assessments based on percentages, those percentages only make sense in the context of all taxing bodies. Observing that something takes up 23% (or 51%) of a single taxing body doesn't mean anything at all; it just establishes that particular taxing body owns the LAPD.
If you like Herzog’s narrative style in movies you’ll enjoy the book. It’s a very quick read, maybe 3 hours. In some bits I could practically hear him in my head, like this:

“The night is long. The crickets, not caring about war or peace, or who gets to name wars and for what reason, intensify their monotonous screaming, this is their war, perhaps also their peace negotiations, equally unbeknownst to us.”
In that case, good luck implementing it short of a wholesale political revolution.
That's kind of wild, even in my teens (1990s in Illinois) it seemed to be common knowledge that variable APR mortgages were a risky/Bad Idea. I had no idea they were the norm elsewhere.

The cynic in me would have assumed the US led the world in predatory style lending. This country loves handing people more than enough rope to hang themselves with, while depriving them of any relevant education beforehand.

Well, money has always been the rule of law of this land. The founding father's thought they were breaking the kingship. Marx even remarked on democracy being the best way to give the illusion of fairness, while keeping capital in control.

Here's a statistic for you. 100% of my two (2) kids can't get to sleep until 10pm on Sunday nights because I live half a block from a south LA takeover intersection.
Again, that appears to be of the Los Angeles municipal general fund. Look for the schools in those numbers. If they're not there, you're just looking at one taxing body.

I'd be surprised if schools weren't the most expensive thing in Los Angeles. They are everywhere else I've looked.

That's hilarious; I'd heavily encourage you to remove this comment, just in case the lawyers turn out to be real. :)
It’s more complex.

When people belong to a group you don’t have to target individuals, you can deal with the group. For instance the audience of a specific magazine can be reached through that magazine, members of an union will follow the union’s decisions, etc. You might need to fight the influencers of the group to have them align with your interests, but that’s only a few people vs multiple thousands of individuals.

A different way to look at it: cults and ideologies also try to rally isolated individuals as they are easier to target, but in the end they need them part of the group to be manipulated, they can’t stay stray sheeps doing what they want in the wilderness.

I find articles like this very frustrating in their internal contradictions and failure to report anything of substance.

Is it the Pentagon that failed, the DoD, or the military? It sounds like it's the DoD, except for 7 components, but we're never told which components passed and which failed, so there's no possibility of intelligent discussion of the nature of the problem or possible fixes.
Two artists can view the exact same landscape and come away with completely different paintings. People who enjoy Herzog's work don't look for a photograph. They look for a mosaic.
Or just ban the PLA owned companies and go back to working on more important stuff. Keep it simple. No need to bend over backwards to help CCP owned and controlled companies (that are legally mandated to serve the CCP's requests) make a quick buck selling commodity hardware.

Sorry, I misspoke— NS1 doesn’t go through Ukraine. I was alluding to the pipelines that do carry Russian gas through Ukraine, from which it extracts billions of dollars— all the more reason for US/UK/Ukrainian sabotage of Nordstream pipelines. As for Germany not certifying the pipeline, that’s all political theater.
Yep. Youre not a 'paid propagandist'. Everyone else is. Now that will make the inconvenient truth go away. Well done. Nobody ever thought of saying that before.
Why do you think it is more complicated? The logic of the UI and application itself is the complicated part. That is the difference between a document and an application. The HTML ends up being turned into small pieces and has to be dynamically manipulated in an application. There are lots of if and else statements to create the HTML.
But still; how can an organization fail an audit five times in a row and there not be repercussions and large investigations to ensure its possibility of repeating are vanishingly small going forward?

I could honestly see it happening. Something like VRchat is never going to replicate IRL socialization, but it's close enough that it could fill a huge gap for a lot of people.

VR socialization might not be great, but like the BigMac is to food it might be just good enough for many.
