>But am I the only one who's first reaction is "Fuck hunters" anyway?

Yes? Anyone that says that is clearly ignorant of the need for hunting in maintaining environmental balance.

Unless of-course we want to bring back natural predators and have the problem of children, pets, and live stock being attacked.
Thanks for sharing, human history is indeed littered with brutal events and these things build further hate for future generations, if they choose not to let go of the past.

Despite that, the world and the universe has almost unlimited beauty, but it is ultimately up to an individual person to find and see it.

That conundrum was not resolved through speech, but through war. And, unfortunately, that war did not go far enough, as slaveowner politics quickly reasserted themselves.
I am looking forward to Wild Seed more than I looked forward to LOTR. Altho with similar trepidation about being true to author intent. I will watch Kindred but it will be hard to watch, even the graphic novel I haven’t finished.
It won't be long until some drone based sky billboard company emerges from the ether, strongarms/bribes local government into allowing its exclusive use, and then you are tracked as you walk your hiking trail by a herd of advertising drones that cost just a dime less than the hypothetical number they generate from your annoyed, halfway focused attention.

It's coming. I hope some good people here on HN are working on an open source 3d printed EMP cannon.

I agree that the instruction of calculus in abstract is more difficult for many students to understand vs. learning it as applied to a practical application such as physics.

Yeah my expensive Lenovo Slim 7 Pro Carbon edition has just had the hinge fail at 11 months. I'm sick and tired of high end Windows laptops all failing due to hardware issues. I am seriously considering a Mac for the first time in two decades in disgust with the state of reliability of Windows laptops. But I don't want to run Apple software and live in their walled garden.

I wasn't laid off but spent Jan-Aug taking time off and then interviewing for a while. Even before the layoffs started things were getting tricky. I was mid-process with multiple companies between June and August that pulled out because they were having freezes, or no longer hiring for the west coast due to budget constraints, etc.

I was still getting a fair amount of interviews though. Fortunately I landed an offer in August, because without it I may still be jobless. But the layoffs, freezes, and continued whiteboarding style interviews and things are definitely a trifecta.

Nicely done. One of the best hacks I’ve seen in a long time.
Buying a German luxury car is kind of a silly financial decision for most consumers because the electronics are so fragile, and so expensive to repair. Ownership cost gets ridiculous after the warranty expires. So if you want to drive a Mercedes-Benz then the smart move is to lease instead of buy. Then it's based on monthly payments anyway so subscriptions are kind of moot.

The GPS interlock systems generally aren't used by new car franchise dealers. You mostly see those at "buy here pay here" used car lots that target "credit criminals" and do a lot of repos.
I'd only expect code sharing to be worthwhile if the interface between the NVMe driver and the rest of the OS's storage stack is quite similar. NVMe over PCIe is pretty simple, so there's not much logic that would be wholly contained within the driver itself.
Most of us would find a law that prohibits encouraging slaves from revolting or freeing themselves; to be horrid. Arguments that such laws don't really restrict freedom of speech because they're only encouraging an illegal act, would ring quite hollow. You might well be accused of sophistry if you made the argument seriously today; the act that's illegal to advocate is a fundamental right of all men, after all.

Conscripts are enslaved. What some may call a mutiny of conscripts others might call a slave rebellion. Let's just take that axiomatically for now. Obviously not all agree. But many accept that argument completely. Arguing it does not infringe free speech to call for people to free themselves, because it's only prohibiting the encouragement of a crime rings similarly hollow, from that perspective.

I don't think that conclusion follows. Yes, it's popular. No, Python is not disciplined nor balanced. Popularity is really more about social dynamics than anything.
I wouldn't go as far as to say that all people are a toxin, but a lot are, that's for sure.
If you support the idea of free speech, do you support banning CrimethInc?

If you do, do you also support banning anti-vaxx misinformation at the height of a societal health crisis?

If you do not, do you support calling Musk out on his hypocrisy here?

Just clarifying.
In many places, the land between high tide and low tide is public no matter what the beachfront property owner says. That doesn't stop them from making it very difficult for the public to access.
For two decades I've been a heavy "event-driven journaler" (i.e. I journal when events occur in my life that I need to think through by writing, vs. journaling as a routine daily practice).

This has been an immensely helpful way to structure my thinking, in the way PG writes about. It also develops a record of thoughts that I refer back to and reflect on. It's driven my personal growth, and helped me uncover personal blindspots.

In more recent times, life is busier, and journaling the way I used to is harder to make time for. (Either that, or the Day One app just isn't doing it for me anymore, I'm not sure.)

Instead, I've started to use the voice memos app to voice dictate my thoughts, as if I'm being interviewed on a podcast. My tone is that of an interviewee, providing their answer, sharing their reasoning on a topic, debating the pros and cons, and arriving at a conclusion.

I use this format for both personal matters or thoughts related to professional endeavors. It's really working for me. It's a higher velocity way to get my thoughts out, yet still keep them structured. Thanks to increased playback speeds, I can go through my past thoughts more easily too. I highly recommend more people try this, especially if writing/typing it out seems like a chore.
> Nowadays, I read everything I write out loud and if it sounds awkward (or not like me) then I just delete it and write it again from scratch. Oftentimes it helps to just close my eyes, say what I want to out loud, then write down what I just said.

This does sound like editing to me (in a good way). Unless you meant something else when you wrote that school taught you to focus overtly on the editing stage.
Like you I'm happy to see these things being design, if nothing else as experiments. Personally I don't much see the point.

85 miles is fine for many of the thing I need a car for, but once in a while I need the additional range, and I don't want to own two cars. I also need it to be highway safe, if I'm not on the highway I can almost always bike.

Finally: I need my car to be able to pull a trailer, not a big one necessarily. I have a house, some times I need to pick up DIY stuff, or get things to the recycling station.

For people who need a car infrequently, but need it for long distances or larger hauls, there's very little good options, beyond just buying a bigger, expensive car. I could rent, but that limits my use, and if I do that for a couple of time a months I can just buy a used car for the same money.
You are definitely right. Part of the reason I chose the 10,000 character minimum was so that people using throwaways in the true sense would be entirely excluded. I don't plan on keeping this up forever and I too would not feel comfortable if this was deployed at scale.
Neat work!

Out of curiosity: do you filter sentences than begin with ‘>’, indicating a block quote from another user? That might improve the accuracy a little here, if you don’t already.
Yeah don't you hate it when people inject their obvious political bias into comments?
> One was a new mom who was alone all day and was unsettled with folks hiking past her backyard.

This seems unreasonable to think hikers are a threat to her. It’s nice of you to work to make her feel better but it seems silly for her to think that people are going to break into her house in the middle of their hike. There are many more opportunities for violence and if she wants to worry about things, there’s others.
Wish I could read Xenogenesis for the first time again.
I the last few years I had to move contries a few times and basically rebuild my entire social circle each time – and it made me aware how much of finding friends is just a matter of logistics. I think that much of the loneliness problem comes down to people just not having a process that helps them meet new friends.

In most places, there's a surprising amount of events where you can meet new people. For me it was open boardgame nights – the difficult part was actually beating the inertia and going there, but once I did, I think I made about an average of one new friend per two outings, as long as I remembered to message them afterwards.
FYI, Schenck v. United States was overturned in 1969 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States):

"In 1969, Schenck was largely overturned by Brandenburg v. Ohio, which limited the scope of banned speech to that which would be directed to and likely to incite imminent lawless action (e.g. a riot)."

So we can tell other people to avoid the draft now, even in a dry bureaucratic sense. In real life of course the draft is slavery and immoral, as Ayn Rand and many others have pointed out.

> The claims of politics and social justice are claims within the domain of truth, just as the claims of science are. Either climate change is happening and merits a response, or it isn't. Either diversity brings conflict or it doesn't. Either the implicit association test is good science or it isn't. Either social Darwinism is good science or it isn't.

That's a rather black and white way of looking at things, and seems to imply that once "truth" is found, that further action no longer requires any relationship to it.

Why these things are happening and what is the best way to solve them seem to be more pertinent questions, and involve a much deeper search for the truth then merely establishing that they're occurring and something needs to be done.

> Those of us who are on the side of "science" and "truth" must say that when the pursuit of truth has brought us somewhere, we need to do something with that conclusion.

There are those of us who see this as pure hubris. Particularly that you're conflating scientific result with truth and ultimately with conclusivity. It suggests a path where solutions are no longer socially discussed and implemented collectively though compromise, but rather handed down by science and enforced by rote.
There is no need to bring that name into every public discussion.

BI like most online based "news" are farming content to be solvent. The fact that Musk seems to agree is utterly irrelevant.
That's the thing: Lithium ion batteries are not a fixed technology, they're a moving target. They've evolved dramatically and encompass many different chemistries since they first appeared in the lab in the 70's. But since they're all grouped under the name "Lithium ion" people just think of them as a fixed, static, mature technology.
So you mishandled a motor vehicle that weighs 4-5x, with 100x the power as much as an ebike in the rain, and you commute using a bicycle which explicitly causes the downsides that I avoid using an ebike. I’m not surprised your experience is different

It sounds like your experience is different because haven’t actually tried using an ebike. I used to think that a bike and an ebike were basically the same use case. After having used a bike, an ebike, and a motorcycle for commuting I can say that they are three very different machines.

Please let me know what your experience was commuting in northern bad weather using an ebike before you call me delusional. It sounds like you are extrapolating incorrectly based on inexperience

I got connected to someone impacted at Twitter on Saturday, within 24 hours of them being notified they were impacted by the layoff.

I talked with them for an hour that next Monday AM about the opportunities my teams have open, one of which was highly relevant to their skills, and by the time we chatted, they had 3-4 interviews with other companies scheduled. Joined the dots to the hiring manager and recruiters. They introduced us to lots of other Twitter engineers too which was amazing and very helpful to me.

Our interviews happened with them 10 days later and we moved forward to make an offer; we are still working through offer details with them (and they have multiple companies making offers). We’ve also got several strong applicants for this role.

I’m glad to see many of the impacted folks are quickly finding places to land because the cruelty of Twitter’s next chapter under Elon is a stain on the industry and the world.
When I was walking under a cloud, it really helped year-to-year to pay someone to listen and talk through my thoughts and feelings.
It's 1800 light years away, so they would have been waiting regardless.
Agreed. Ideally, the official policy should be introduced to either fund or contribute to FOSS used.
Is it really protectionism when just matching the requirements of China?

Of course it is but that doesn’t mean it isn’t the right call. Huawei & ZTE exist so Cisco doesn’t have to be used in China. It seems this is a blanket ban for sale in all of the US which strikes me as excessive without knowing why they’re a National security threat.

I’d like more expectations of parity. Maybe real estate.
COVID showed that it occurs when we are a politically fragmented society with sprawling wealth inequality.

Timeline of a Train Departure
> Acceleration != speed

That’s true, good point. (But we’re talking about a sport feature of a Mercedes car with unnecessary amounts of acceleration.)

> Acceleration increases the degree of control you have over your vehicle

That’s not true. You’re exercising control by accelerating, but not increasing control. Braking and steering are also exercising control. Accelerating too fast in wet or dusty conditions reduces control. Accelerating too quickly when people around you don’t expect it increases the risk of accident.

> Reduced overtaking distance is fairly universally regarded as also reducing the risk of an accident.

I’ve never heard this before, can you back this claim up with some evidence? The NHTSA report I posted is quite thorough and does not mention passing time as a risk factor. I’m sure you’re right and it is true when overtaking into oncoming traffic, if you cross the median. I doubt this is true for separated freeways like most of the urban US interstates inside city boundaries. I’m sure your claim here is not true when people exceed the speed limit in order to overtake, which is a very common occurrence where I live. Much of the passing that goes on happens when someone overtakes another person who’s already traveling at or above the speed limit, by further exceeding the speed limit. This is not made safer by doing it faster.

20 Mechanical Principles Combined in a Useless Lego Machine
My compromise for this is wait 2 weeks for "do I really need it" (obviously always keeping in mind my overall budget for "extra") . If I shrug at the end of two weeks then I skip it. Most of the time it completely gets flushed from my cache. Other times I can't stop thinking about it, and thus I buy it.
I'd say it's roughly equivalent to the value of preserving any cultural artifact--a language, a musical tradition, holidays, folklore, religions, ancient martial traditions, and so on.

Languages are cultural artifacts that contain within them other ancient cultural artifacts. When we lose a language, we lose those artifacts.

Everyone doesn't care about old cultural artifacts, but, luckily for those of us who do, there are enough of us to keep many of them alive.
It is. The description on the about page is a little simplified but I basically I look at the most common word and character ngrams of size 1,2,3 (200 each), put all the frequencies in an array and then compare to all the other users with https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.me....
The Federal Reserve absolutely did not cause the Great Depression. Economic crashes occurred at least once a decade since beginning of American history, and as the economy grew more more interconnected and less self sufficient, economic crashes tended to be worse than the last, culminating with the Great Depression. Economists overwhelmingly agree that the Fed's biggest blunder during the Great Depression was not going far enough. It was only with what I'm sure you would call "money printing" enabled by the Fed to finance WWII, that the economy truly recovered.

Freelancer here; this time of year there is always a slowdown. Holiday vacation absences make scheduling all the right people to interview harder.

I set aside extra the rest of the year to smooth over the drop off in responses late-Oct/Jan period. By February I usually get swarmed with asks to tackle projects and can pick ones that are actually interesting.

Then it happens again in summer as people with enough money to not work take another 2-3 months off.

One is also a mathematician. It's trivial that we overuse some technical words even if it's unnecessary.

Another is form Argentina, so I guess the native language leaks, for example using words derived from latin that are not idiomatic.

> This is an evil website. We won’t have any anonymity soon. The highest match is my years old banned account that I forgot about. Where did you get the data from?

I'd way rather have someone tell me "look at all the things I can find out about you" so that I can act accordingly (whatever that means!) rather than what we've mostly actually got, which is companies silently exploiting my data and doing everything they can to mumble reassuring but legally ineffective formulas assuring me that they deeply respect my privacy.
So, part of my job is to work with this sort of thing and, meh? Both sides have a few fair points?

I think the thing is; there's always a lot of play in these words and people perhaps frequently get too uptight when it comes to a current definition etc.

I'd say my only issue would be "anti-racist" (I'm black fwiw). I don't think that much belongs in a mission statement for roughly the same reason I don't much respect air-quotes "Atheism" -- being against a thing, or "not" a thing is just far weaker than being for something. While I actually do personally believe that racism is at least a plausible candidate for our worst problem right now, I still don't like it in a statement like this. It would be like if, instead of "spreading knowledge" there was a bit about "fighting ignorance." Mission statements aren't the place.

But I think e.g. "social justice" and "diversity" are terms that are loose enough to be appropriate, even if they carry certain connotations today. It's hard to not think that, again, taking these words at face value -- that "social justice" and "diversity" aren't well within the mission of a college/university.

Get these people in a room and hash it out.
