Looking around it seems estimates vary by a fair bit, and the one you cite is on the high end. Other estimates are in the low hundreds, which is a very attainable number of reuses. But it does seem my memory was unrealistically low. Also an aspect that is not considered in these studies is that canvas bags generally carry more stuff per bag than single use plastic ones, so taking 2 canvas bags to the grocery store can save 6 or 8 plastic bags.
Consider another example, if you were out drinking and someone took your keys and refused to give them back so you could drive home while intoxicated, I'd consider that morally justifiable.
I only missed 1 AI image. Look at the hands and eyes, makes it really obvious.
Are we talking about friendlyjordies here? He most certainly has pissed people off. I wouldn't put it past mafia types to have a go at him after his relentless mockery of Barilaro. Not to suggest he's connected, just the whole Italian thing.

Not to take away from your point though. I too feel that our government, both state and federal, goes unchecked. Just that conspiracies about firebombing are hardly evidence. Instead consider the refusal to implement a federal ICAC or the NSW liberals overthrowing their own and cherry picking candidates.
I was looking for tells, but things like landscapes or pictures where there's no hands or eyes tend not to have them as much.

Many people think of tweets as offhand, throwaway remarks that are not well considered and often not especially serious. People tend to get ranty and emotional on twitter much more than in real life. People tweet when they are drunk or high, often to their later embarrassment.

Anything I hear about what anyone said on twitter immediately has reduced weight in my mind, just because it's twitter.
Yes — that’s correct: Twitter censored a politically hot story they didn’t like during an election, silencing discussion of the Bidens’ illicit foreign dealings not only from the NY Post, but among all their users.

That’s my point: censorship invariably is these “mistakes” of censoring truth you dislike rather than any noble purpose. Indeed, the whole pretense of noble purpose is precisely so you can make these ignoble “mistakes” with a clear conscience — you were trying to protect the community! …why is everyone complaining the outcome was censoring your political rivals during an election?

You ignored me in the other thread:

People have been making these same arguments in favor of censorship for millennia; can you give a historic example (pre-1900) where people censoring were on the right side of history?
A whitelist maybe that is locally stored?
Probably be a good idea.
But what you say is correct just life software devs in here who want to get Paid, they too want to get paid.
It's strange that we often see here," allow us to pay money and don't show us ads", yet people complain about pay walls too.
But, probably sharing a paywall link is not beneficial for knowledge sharing?
But other than all this, it helps with deadlines at least.
A common pattern among people who visit this forum is to idolize/worship it for its "high quality" content, when in reality the quality is actually bad in different ways they're not knowledgeable enough to understand.

You seem like you're falling for that trap by asking such a naive question as posed in your submission. No, there is not an "HN for History" because if there were, it'd be terrible and full of misleading information and outright lies. That pattern works for tech in ways it doesn't work for history, or many other fields of study.

And for what it's worth, who I am or what I think of myself is irrelevant.
> We should be honest that biblical historians may be interested in a certain narrative.

We should also be honest that there are many people heavily invested in making sure biblical narratives are not viewed as history, and not always for the purpose of true historicity.

You said yourself there are only "like 2" (I forgive and appreciate the vagueness) stories in the bible (not going into translations, revisions, etc.) that can be dragged into reality. I would need to know which ones you refer to in order to counterpoint, but I'm fairly certain there's quite a bit more than like 2 stories that can be corroborated by secular means. Though I guess we'd end up quibbling over what you meant by "stories" or something if we got that far.

My point is that there are a lot of people who, for one reason or another, strongly desire to stifle any consideration of "the bible" (and I lowercase that on purpose) as Truth. I'm alright with that, but I wanna chat about it, too.

That said, anyone got a link to a good forum or some such where I can do such chatting?

Generally speaking, in today's economy reuse is a bug, not a feature.

We could already reuse thick plastic packaging instead of cardboard, but we don't, because it's so much more expensive to collect, clean/sanitize, sort by 40 different sizes, and store in a warehouse.

Heck, we could already reuse glass soda bottles the way they still do in many developing countries around the world, instead of recycling them to melt them down and form new bottles. But again we don't, because the cost of collecting separate streams for each brand of soda bottle is too expensive in the developed world.

So while the idea of reusable bamboo packaging could be appealing, them problem is in the reuse part sadly. Much more economically efficient to produce something one-use, put it in a general recycling stream, and then re-form.
The Paleo folks point out that humans were hunter-gatherers for hundreds of thousands of years, and really have only had a few generations since the invention of agriculture. They then study the few remaining Hunter-gatherer societies as a model for how humans were evolved to live. I like the idea, but data is scarce, and humans are so adaptable it’s hard to make any firm statements.
You're only ever one promotion or departure (not yours) away from a management shuffle which can make your job shit. That stable software delivering value, day in day out? Legacy trash that needs to be rebuilt as a matter of urgency. Actually, no - outsource it. Software isn't our core business, after all. Personally I have no confidence that I will be able to avoid this scenario (again), or suffer it in silence, so I cannot see myself being a lifer for this reason alone. But the idea alone of working for one company forever doesn't concern me in the sense that I'd have only 1 item on my resume for several decades of work, nor would I look negatively at someone with that resume. I just have a low tolerance for corporate bullshit and at this stage in my career I think it's easier to jump ship than to try and fight the winds of change emanating from some Cx0's arse.

I’m in pain reading this. But I feel the need to confess my own sin:

I once didn’t want to write or add a dependency for a Python deep equality checker so I just sorted, JSONified, and string compared the two. It worked fine for years. It wasn’t performant important code.

International Paper (the company profiled in this article) and most of the box manufacturers in the US use the software company I started, Lumi (YC W15)[0].

What is fascinating about these manufacturers is that many of them have been in business for more than 100 years and think on a multi-generational time scale. Managing forests and growing trees to turn them into boxes is a 25 year process.

There are a lot of old-timers working in these companies but I really enjoyed working with them. It's like we were the Hobbits interacting with Ents. They make decisions in a different way, and I found that refreshing. As a fast-moving startup it forced us to be aligned with their long term view of the world.

The recommendations you´re getting are right on spot:

I have to say, however, that not all stories in those books are equally palatable for newcomers. If you´d like more specific recommendations on which stories to read first, let me know. I have written a full page with recommendations for beginners on how to start.
That's not what I meant. Obviously thinking someone is gay is not being a prick. I meant in the context where someone is being a prick about it.
So no books, movies, music - anything that can be duplicated digitally - has value as a thing to be sold? I am sorry, I am not sure this is a genuine argument.

Why does digital duplication make any difference? When you are buying a physical book you are not paying just for the paper and the printing process. So the remaining part of the cost - writer's check, publisher's check, etc - is what you should be paying for when consuming things digitally (plus the cost of streaming, storage and whatnot).

> Why are we assuming there's a viable market?

Because there is? There is a proven, big, viable, essential market for creating and distributing ideas.
I've been at my company for over 10 years, since I was straight out of college. I plan to stay until I can "retire" at 50. Then I'll get some other job.

I hate my job, but there aren't many good options for me in my situation. If somthing better does come along, id consider it. That's 10 years down, what's another 20ish years?
To be fair, Wikipedia basically appears in its entirety in the training data. It’s a good test to see whether the translation model and all the plumbing works well, but not whether the model generalises well.

Yes but none of them are using voice changing that makes it hard to listen to. They all speak in their natural voices or with a natural manual affect that they prefer to put on, something that computers don't seem to be able to replicate yet.

I watch Japanese vtubers quite a lot and enjoy doing so, but I couldn't personally listen to Lina as the voice sounds grating on the ears.

Ctrl-r history search is made 1000x better with fzf fuzzy history search. https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
Common example I’ve seen is checking if an IP is in a range. Most (JS) libs I’ve seen do something like regex or, more commonly, split on periods and then have a set of nested ifs. Versus if you have a proper IP type, you check if its long value is between ranges. (Not saying you can’t do this, but because so many times an IP is stored as its string representation, that seems to be the default.
Firefox's CEO makes $6MM a year, the maintainer for translation in Firefox gets paid $95 Patreon-bucks a month. It's insane.
> I expect it will be hard to specify a powerful algorithm for filling in the blanks that feels natural to programmers, though. If the compiler frequently complains about missing type information where the programmer doesn’t understand why it complains, the language won’t be popular.

This is the problem in a nutshell. Folks in the optional typing and gradual typing communities have been trying to pull this off for decades and so far no one has been able to come up with a language that:

1. Lets you ignore types completely and write dynamically typed code in some parts of the program.

2. Gives you the expected performance of completely typed code in parts of the program that are typed.

3. Is sufficiently pleasant to use that it gets adoption.

There are languages that give you either 1 or 2 along with 3. There may be some language out there that gives you 1 and 2 but if so, it doesn't give you 3 or I would have heard of it.

I suspect it's intractable.

Practically speaking, somewhere near zero people were going to subscribe to the Wall Street Journal, but now won't because an archive link gets auto-added to a link aggregator and they don't need to go to archive.ph themselves and search for the URL, or wait two minutes for the top-voted comment to be an archive link added by a human.

That's certainly an issue, but one thing that MD's (I am one) are very, very good at is knowing whether a system makes their lives easier or harder. Paper charts had their problems - unreadable handwriting, limited accessibility - but they were a very heavily refined system that served the doctors and nurses who used them daily. EMR's are largely written to maximize billing, not end-user convenience.

I'm an anesthesiologist, so there's really nothing for me to up-code in order to get paid more for the same work (except that I can declare the patient to be higher-risk, or the surgery to be an emergency, each of which nets my group about $20). It's baked into the system, based on what surgery is being performed. So EMR has been good in that I can find old information more easily, and Epic in particular allows me to get information from other health systems that use Epic, but as a practical matter it's not a big improvement in general from the old system in which paper notes were scanned in after discharge and all dictations (admissions, discharge summaries, any procedure notes) were transcribed into it.

But it sure did cost a lot of money.

I also like that you can produce green hydrogen anywhere there are natural resources not being used. (like climate depressed developing countries... ) Places where they get lots of sun can SHIP THEIR SUN to other places in the form of green hydrogen.

this is a great way to bring developing nations up in the economic world.

A little infrastructure and bingo these places now have a green export.

The ceo of Starbucks is Howard Schultz one of the long time people associated with Starbucks. This is his third time being CEO including the period that made Starbucks a household name and when it went public. He’s not at all associated with Vanguard or Blackrock.

The next CEO was chosen by the board in a very public CEO search. Laxman Narasimhan has the pedigree you’d expect from someone picked for that role including being a ceo of a big company and a long stretch at Pepsi.

Perhaps you can be specific about what you think Vanguard or Blackrock did as part of this process that caused a three time ceo & founder of Starbucks to be chosen as the interim and then followed by what appears to be a highly qualified candidate?

const is JS is referring to the reference and has nothing to do with the value, it's not even shallow immutability, there is none at all.

is valid JavaScript.

Bit nitpicky maybe, but wouldn't want people to get the impression const gives you any sort of immutability.

Yes, I really think LSP has been a game changer. I started using emacs in undergrad and later gradschool mostly for the Latex support. Combined with helm-bibtex it's a killer feature set. I worked mostly with matlab in gradschool and mostly used the matlab editor.

But when I needed python or c I used emacs, though it was always a slog to get to get IDE-like features working. LSP was really a game changer that let me get rid of CDET and ctags and elpy, and has let me continue using emacs now at work. If not for LSP, I almost certainly would be using clion or VScode.

I will say though, the one place emacs doesn't cut it is for jupyter notebooks. VScode really is pretty killer there.

I think that vast majority of human organizational structures, individuals to large corporations and countries have no clue what they are doing. The most successful apply science and just barely keep their head below the surface by avoiding utter failure. Most people would describe the Olympics as a competition to find out who is the best amateur in a given sport. No, the Olympics is a competition to see who can make the least number of mistakes.
