Not subsidized, loaned. FTA:

“Of that, $150,000 was from a South Australian government-backed solar loan, with another $70,000 in cash.”

There might be some subsidy in getting an attractive interest rate, but AFAICT, the article doesn’t say anything about that.
This explanation helps understand the video.
Then for the threads to be preserved, the content should remain, but the associated username should just be changed.

I imagine if HN created an account with the username "DELETED" or similar, that a script could just change comment ownership from the account to be deleted to the special "deleted" account - that would be the easiest to implement as well as keep thread continuity.

(Don't delete the comment just delete the connection to the user.)

That was in the original pagerank publications. Google had lots of other early attempts to make money that avoided advertising (like the search appliance [0]), but the firehose of money from ads dwarfed anything else they could ever find and that early Google didn't last long.

Was that a "business commitment" or a "user commitment"?
> The court ruled that Mr T was exercising his "freedom of expression" by refusing to participate in the company's social activities, and that performing this "fundamental freedom" could not be a reason for his dismissal.

It makes me upset that something basic like not wanting to drink lots of alcohol with your co-workers has to be justified with a legal framing of "freedom of expression". And Mr. T was fired in 2015, it took 7 years for this case to be concluded in the French court system. Not that French is an important qualifier, I fully expect the American legal system to take that long as well.
It also makes me upset that the media's framing it as being not "fun".

In actuality, most people don't have the funds, the time, and the gumption to go through with a legal battle. You of course need to find a new job, but in the meantime you have financial obligations, and those don't wait 7 years to be satisfied.
visas are really easy to get in here
There are even Russian ppl at the office

The whole world is not like the UK or USA, with restrictive and old policies.
And your family can get a visa if you get one.

Also, paycheck might be lower, but you get public medical healthcare, cheap trains, and more public services than in the USA, so the comfort is about the same in the end.

My point was that I don't get why skilled workers from the whole world (like South America, Asia, Africa, the middle east, and even "closed" countries like Russia and China) can move in here when they only speak English at first, while North Americans are never seen.

Life can't just about the paycheck or not being ok with learning new languages.
It breaks down pretty quickly when exposed to light, chlorine, and excessive heat. It's also very easy to damage. A kid being an idiot or rats and mice gnawing on everything like they do and you've got a heck of a leak that hopefully is caught quickly.

Seems like there's lots of situations where it's a good choice and lots of situations where it's not.
I was pleasantly surprised to see "toxic" being used for its actual meaning, instead of just "anything I don't like" as is so common these days.

There is something to be said both financially and emotionally about getting your operating costs to be lower. And making a big capex expenditure in a year when you saw a windfall of money would flatten out your tax burden.

Of course here it’s not that simple because you’ll be replacing worn equipment at some point and you will have to spin proverbial plates to keep that working well.

I suspect this is about 3 parts financially sound and 2 parts Captain Ahab if you look at the full math.

I don't "need" one, but i appreciate their ability for community. Ie i'm in the mood for a semi-niche Computer Graphics community. There's something about Microblogging that i find.. interesting. Something like a Forum, say Reddit or an actual Forum is so.. purposeful. Does my WIP post warrant an actual forum post? Likely not. Something about Microblogging seems more fit for WIP posts of artwork/etc, tech thoughts, etc. Likewise i enjoy subscribing to other peoples content in the same nature.

The barrier for forums seems to be large enough that the posts that get submitted are often finished works only.. at least in my experience. To me that's less interesting.
You would better do a tutorial, read a bit the forums and decide which language and community you prefer
I can't believe we're still at the Messiah/Antichrist stage of crypto.

Crypto is a technology. Like all tech it can be used for good or bad purposes. But it itself is neither good nor bad.

Crypto will not cure cancer or make everyone rich. But it also have uses beyond crime and "gambling" (wait until he discovers casinos are a thing).

I wish Diehl would grapple with these points instead of just refusing to acknowledge them and attacking straw men.
The amount of calories per day caught my attention, 850kcal/day with diet replacement products. I understand that with medical supervision, there is less risk of malnourishment or nutrients deficiencies.

The general advice, even from my primary care physician, has been that anything less than 1200kcal/day is dangerous and is crash dieting. Looking around, I found this other study studying total diet replacement providing 810kcal/day as the sole food for 12 weeks, showed significantly greater weight loss compared to standard counseling and modest energy restrictions. The difference in weight loss was measured at 12 months. (BMJ 2018;362:k3760 [1])

25 BMI, which the diabetes study used in addition to T2D, is not considered clinically obese in the US. 25 BMI is the line between clinically normal and overweight. I wonder if crash dieting is advised against on the assumption that most people will go back to unhealthy eating habits instead of changing their diet, and also become more likely to fall into binge-restrict cycles. It's easy to imagine that if someone is able to make meaningful changes, crash dieting is more effective than most other methods.

Yeah 5 acres is an exurban neighborhood type setup. 5,000 acres would be more private.
The problem is the data is already archived, indexed, and probably in some machine learning dataset
One thing to be aware of for Reddit (and perhaps HN) is there are multiple scrapers archiving it in real time, so even if you delete a post from the main site it's still going to be available to anyone who takes the time to look. I would assume that government agencies archive and index all of that low hanging fruit as well.
The population of Cameroon is 1/10th of the US so it seems less important.

The population of the EU is almost double the US, and the law encompasses all companies globally that store data of people living there. Seems sensible to follow it else you'll be paying GDPR fines out your nose. If India came out with some consumer-friendly law that Indians can ask Dang to delete their comments, and I'd bet a good percentage of HN are Indian, I'd agree it's something that should be included. This is part of the difficulty of a global website :)
I don’t think hn is subject to GDPR, since hn is based in the us, and GDPR doesn’t have jurisdiction.
This conspiracy theory take is incredibly stupid. Open air nuke tests would be easily testable as bunch of relatively short lived radionucleotides would be detectable across the earth in weeks and show up for years to come.
Not sure if someone has already coined a term for "a feeling when you don't know which Mastodon server to join", but I'm currently here. I am probably wrong, but joining some themed server makes me think that I should be writing and discussing only about that theme and nothing else. Or joining a server not from your region just feels wrong. Of course, I could just spin my own instance, but how to make it attractive to other users, because one user per server ain't very optimal.
"difficult to work with and a poor listener" seems like it would have been the perfect standalone reason to fire someone, and they would have gotten away with it if they didn't cite refusing to participate in the after-work activities, but since they did cite the "fun" reason they got smacked down in court
Oh it's that connected? For some reason I thought it was more involved. Maybe I will look into hosting it on the personal EKS cluster and get some real use out of it looks like it would be as simple as installing the https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/si-gitops/mastodon helm chart and setting up a domain.

The key to the success of AI models in animation production is going to be how "directable" they are. Even with traditional procedural techniques, this is an issue.

It's relatively straightforward to generate a procedural forest. Less so when the director wants "this branch" to curve more in a given direction.

Where I can see this having the greatest initial impact is in concept art and matte painting. And not in a good way for the artists.
It really depends on what you're building whether that perf cost is problematic or not, and usually it isn't. If 90% of your code is clean Rust and the last 10% outside of the critical path is a straightforward clone or Arc, then I see no reason not to go that way.

Nice 100 acres “lifestyle” blocks can be found for €200k in New Zealand, although our government has made it more difficult for non-residents to buy here. For examples: https://www.realestate.co.nz/rural/sale?by=lowest-price&maxp...

Germans seem to like Golden Bay: they make up about 10% of the population there - cross between hippy and farmer and lifestylers. I think https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tākaka is the biggest town in that area with 1400 people.

I never thought I would see the SLV in the New Yorker!

A friend and I purchased 5 acres in the SLV around 2008 from a guy on Craigslist for 5K. We had no serious intentions at the time. But I was laid off from aerospace in 2009 after the crash, and so I moved out there for a summer, living in a conversion Astro van (before #vanlife, and definitely still van-down-by-the-river and not cool), and started to build a cabin. I didn't finish it that summer, but I eventually moved out to Colorado the next year to do so.

My experience in the SLV can't really be summed up in a comment - you could write a book :D - but I think this picture captures the beauty of the place: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hlvnsofo4leiseo/img_0012.jpg?dl=0

I lived there for about 8 months straight in my longest stretch. It was the kind of difficult I wanted. I (and every one else living in the mountains) had major issues with theft, though. There were multiple break-ins, and the last time I visited, just a flat-out smashing of windows and stripping of siding. I never finished the cabin and abandoned the project after I moved from Colorado. It was perhaps one of the few times I utilized the sunk cost fallacy and didn't dig deeper :)

When I left the SLV, the folks I knew living in RVs were being pushed out for land use violations (or at least that's how I remember it): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ec8M2bZNEac . Most folks I knew moved out in RVs/vans first and then attempted to build after they were there (this includes me as well!). To my knowledge, RV living is "illegal" past a certain number of days on most residential properties in the US, but I do not know what prompted the code enforcement (if anything).
>And I think it shouldn't be. Companies should be about work and professionalism, not culture and other touch feely BS.

Professionalism is an artificial construct. Throughout most of human history people operated as tribes and social groups. All the touchy and feely BS was inevitable.

Given that it's part of our biological and anthropological nature you literally cannot expect no team to be formed this way at all. Many teams want this level of synergy and because it is a natural part of our history and biology it is inevitable that many teams will be formed this way REGARDLESS of the law.

Learn to identify these teams and join the team that fits you. I think it is completely wrong to forcefully embed yourself in a team where you don't fit in and use the law to help you remain on this team and enforce your idea of professionalism. You will literally destroy the spirit of the team.

Under our current culture and law there will definitely be teams that value what you value. And that is where you fit in and that is the company you should join. But have understanding and empathy to see why this "bro-style" interaction and "alcohol fueled" bonding is necessary in other teams.
Reflection is definitely a big topic of discussion, but I'm not sure whether it will make it in time for the finalization of the C++23 spec. I think this is the most recent iteration of the proposal:

Dozens of articles but no genuine explanation of the employer's end of this issue.

If the Guardian newspaper were to let all its staffers take every Friday off without any reduction in pay, I wholeheartedly agree that the staff would be much happier and more productive too (at least on Mondays to Thursdays, when they're actually working).

However, wouldn't the newspaper EITHER need to cancel Saturday's edition completely, thus losing a big chunk of revenue, OR employ more part-time staff to cover the missing work on Fridays - and out of interest, where would the money for those additional fractional salaries come from? Are we seriously suggesting that the product on Monday to Thursday becomes so much better due to the happier staff that consumers are going to pay more for it? <boggle>

"Details", I can almost hear you say :)
Thanks, @CharlesW. I'm familiar with Kris and follow her on Twitter, and see a lot of people have opted to join her Mastodon server, which is great, but her explanation of what happened when she tried to migrate her account from one server to another, where she even controlled both, points to the weakness in the fundamental Mastodon design that makes it a non-starter for me.

Being able to export all of your data (posts, followers, following, blocks/mutes, etc.) and to import it into another server MUST be table stakes at this point. Otherwise, you're just trading one Twitter for another, which is foolish, because it means you wrongly believe that history doesn't repeat itself.

I'll keep watching from the sidelines and see if the fundamental issues get resolved. It certainly will be interesting to see how things play out, that's for sure!
A small quibble: the tape don’t seal. It’s a lubricant for the threads wedging together to seal.

> It's borderline accepted in some cases

Sharing a freaking bed as an adult? Top-and-tail with a random colleague who may be in a relationship? What if they put you in a bed with someone you know has a crush on you? Or who has hygiene issues? Or who snores? No it absolutely isn’t accepted at work, unless France is completely different for professional and personal standards to the rest of the developed world. No functional HR organisation would accept the risk. Where would they stand if the other person touched you in the night and claimed they were asleep?
> It is totally valid to argue that AI will reduce the total amount of animators, I think that will happen.

I don’t think that will happen because I believe induced demand is a thing. I think animators will produce more and more efficiently, I also think that amateurs will be animating stuff that they’re currently not animating because it is too hard. I think we will see a huge proliferation in animation as the craft becomes easier, and with the proliferation professionals will not only keep their jobs, but they will actually see their profession expand.

As a comparison, the textile industry still employs millions of experts despite the craft having been automated with the automatic loom as early as the 1780s.

> we should be clear about our level of experience/understanding

there are many languages that encode this info as mandatory grammatical affixes, it's called evidentiality.
Somewhere I read a quote that has stuck with me: Python is not the number one language in any aspect, but it is often the second best language.

This sums it up very nicely, I think. Without switching a language I can automate deployments, do machine learning tasks, implement ideas quickly, create backends, interface with most C libs easily and query apis.
I’m pretty sure D supports this.
Mass reporting is a problem on the internet and at Twitter that long predates Musk. This all comes down to your assessment that he's running Twitter poorly, and that this is therefore a new risk. I completely disagree, so I'm not worried about these people over the long term.

Furthermore, coordinated censorship by the platform itself is now over. Even if Ben Collins were accidentally, temporarily banned over mass reporting, I wouldn't lose much sleep over it. The status quo is better than the status quo ante.

Ideally, both cases are handled properly. I have faith Twitter will be able to achieve this.
Even if GDPR does not apply, California's CCPA mandates a right to delete. I don't see any way around that.
Not saying that's what happened here, but "Forced to share a bed with someone" could also mean that the company didn't pay for single rooms on a business trip and the hotel put folks into double rooms because they didn't have twin rooms.

That happened to me in the past, and it's something I will never accept again, but it's not sexual assault. It's just a result of crazy expensive hotels in some cities.
Yeah, sorry. I can’t catch all of my iPad’s corrections to what I type.

Imagine if your boss pressured you to marry his son. How is this that much different?

Are you implying that that is common or accepted?
What? No, employers obviously shouldn't be able to force employees to socialize off the clock. No company should have a "stated culture" of requiring employees to drink or go to "strip clubs together". It is a gross violation of the boundaries between the employer and employee. If you want friends to enjoy bacchanalian revelries with, find those friends. Don't pressure your employees into it.

Moreso, are you going to force woman employees to attend these late night sessions? Will you expect muslim or mormon employees to drink? Or are you precommitting to not hiring any of them in the first place?

Delusions of grandeur are a common symptom of bipolar mania. His diagnosis explains everything. If he's experiencing a manic episode now, it's hard to draw any conclusions at all about his baseline personality (which may in fact be narcissistic).
How does federation propagation happen?

Ie if i start my own server, how quickly could someone on, say, mastodon.art see my posts? Would they even see them at all?

I use them as an example, because i know they're fairly locked down on who they federate with. In doing so, maybe they only whitelist? Maybe they blacklist? Maybe they automatically blacklist any servers that aren't perfectly aligned with their own blacklist?

Federation feels a bit convoluted in a way that email doesn't. Then again email became so convoluted that only a few big players are even really allowed.. so maybe Mastodon is heading in the same direction?
