What about things you don't need?

For instance, I didn't need an outdoor security system with motion triggered recording. But I was curious about what critters visit at night. A few days a year we get snow that stays around for two or three days and I see all kinds of tracks in it that I can't match to the usual suspects.

So I wanted such a system someday, but one that wasn't too expensive but good enough that I would not be frustrated with low quality recording or poorly designed hardware or software.

It went on my "get this when I come across a good deal" list. I saw a good deal on the next Prime Day and got something.

Another example. I've got a classical guitar and an electric guitar. For a while I've wanted a steel-string acoustic guitar but I don't need one. There are some songs and styles I'd like to learn that would be better on one, but I've still got so much left to learn of classical guitar its not like I'll run out of stuff to do if I don't get an acoustic immediately.

I made a list of a handful of acoustic guitars to keep an eye on. On Black Friday I checked the site of the manufacturer of one of them. They were having a Black Friday sale that actually made their next tier of guitars up from what I'd been looking at less expensive than the one I'd had my eye on normally goes for.
Typically that happens when it’s needed, and then (unless someone tries to stop it), it becomes a defacto easement after awhile.

A lot of land in the US is newly settled (by European standards) especially anything other west, so those kinds of things haven’t risen to the level of official standards. The basic ‘if it’s your property, you can do what you want, including people off of it’ is still mostly true, though it is getting more and more ‘supplemented’ by others rights over time (cough zoning, HOAs, etc)

For example, the IRA member Bobby Sands was elected to the UK parliament while in prison during his (subsequently fatal) hunger strike. Parliament then immediately passed a law banning people from running for parliament from jail.

Of course, the UK is a monarchy, not a republic, so its relevance to the subject at hand is somewhat dubious.
I guess that's what happens if you turn off pretty much everything.
Chemistry will not be determinant regarding which battery technology will prevail. Cost will be primary and endurance will be next. Tesla's 4680 (yes, it's a can, not a chemistry) automated manufacturing technology will be hard to beat in both cost and endurance. And it's just at the beginning of the learning curve of the manufacturing tech. Competitors will have to be prepared to shell out plenty of cash to keep up. Hard not to notice that even Panasonic would not commit to 4680 manufacturing at scale until they could confirm that Tesla's dry anode tech was viable.
I never understood why Woodrow Wilson is lauded in the history books, and comes out in historians' presidential rankings quite well. His administration (and he personally) had a pattern of suppressing free speech with prison time. That, and he created the Federal Reserve (which then went on to create the Great Depression, as it slowly learned to use its powers). Whether or not you think a central bank is a good thing, it certainly belies his ideology that the government knows best.

First I don't really think your premise is correct and second we are capable of keeping our networks secure even if a cable or a base station is made by a Chinese company.
Fine, I disagree but even if I were to concede surely there’s a better solution we can think of than looking up a big resistor.

The question is how much so called stranded power is there, what percent of Bitcoin energy usage does this account for and is there really nothing useful we could do with it? Finally with “stranded coal” is it better to just not use it?

This is just a talking point used to distract from the actual issues. In reality the percentage of renewables wasted on bitcoin mining is at an all time low. The question at issue was whether all this is carbon neutral, and no, it’s definitely not.
It's funny that I only match at 0.9999999999999982 with myself while all other username I tried matched with themselves at 1.0 ^^.

It’s not necessarily the case that language preservation offers something of strict “value” (however one defines value and I do think that’s a big open question) outside of comprehension of historical documentation, but yes, it is the case that language is a method of continuing the culture and lifestyle passed onto us by our ancestors. If the Mannish people feel like reviving the language reclaims something that has been lost by English oppression,

Colloquy - https://github.com/colloquy/colloquy
It’s not clear to me why one ostensibly democratic mechanism (the criminal justice system) should automatically be overridden by other ostensibly democratic mechanism (an election).

It seems pretty clearly undemocratic to me to say that you get out of jail if you win an election (or that the justice system somehow applies less to you if you’re an elected official).
Robert Putnam already explained why this is happening but since it's not an acceptable answer, we march on and pretend to be mystified.

If you earn good money similar to your peers, your social opportunities will often be commensurate with those earnings.

If people know you earn less you may find them sympathetic eg suggesting cheaper social options. But if they know you earn as much as or even more than them, they may not look upon you so happily. They feel in a way cheated that instead of spending your money on time with them, you save it for future-you. Kind of selfish, it could be argued.

Also note that they allow for server side data as well so companies can send via backends and circumvent any ad blockers. Good companies do respect a users preferences but not all do.
Absolutely not. To a degree that both parties might walk away feeling a bit disgusted.
Hmm not so sure about that. Republicans are generally pissed that Utah has so much federal land. Their talking point is often explicitly aiming to grant it back to the state. Part of the reason they were so against Bears Ears and Grand Staircase was because it further pushed back what the state could do with that land.

And please don’t kid yourself if you think they want the state to control it for preservation.
<< If you can't formulate a realistic threat from this data, how can you possibly re-evalate your security posture in light of it?

You do have a point and it is possible I misunderstood the 'value proposition' from this data set.

From the forum referenced in the article:

"Name / Whatsapp Number - Country Wise "

What I see in that post is name field ( or potentially just a number ) and country field. If I was a person buying it, the main benefit would be "being able to reach a seemingly random ( unless it is separately checked against some other available list/s ) individual in a desired geographic location". As you correctly assessed, by itself it is not a terrible security threat.

<< Can you make a prediction about what bad things will happen to the people whose phone number is in this dump, compared to people whose phone number isn't there?

Yes ( although admittedly, mostly because "bad things" is sufficiently generic to allow for it and I already admitted I think you are right on the security aspect ).

Fraud-wise this is a perfectly sufficient set of information ( current valid numbers likely corresponding with real phone numbers ) as those tend to be number games anyway ( one out of how many answers a spam email type of deal ). In that area, the most common scam lately is grandson scam[1] or romance scam[2]( those having extra benefit of less likely being reported even if others point it out to the victim ). Seniors do seem to use Whatsapp in the old country partially due to price and reliability ( dunno how common it is in US though ) so they fit that target demographic, but that assumes fraudster can reliably identify a victim set of seniors ( or burn existing set with a more generic pitch ). For non-seniors, crypto scams seemed very common lately ( and how many people just click yes, when an invitation pops up ) although recent crash likely made it less desirable.

In other words, I think you are right about not doing anything specific security-wise, but it may be worthwhile talking with your social circle if they use Whatsapp since they may now see an increase in unsolicited calls/messages/invites and benefit from a conversation about about safety online in general.

The UK is only a monarchy at the ceremonial level. Officially it's mostly a parliamentary democracy, in practice it's mostly a bureaucracy.
I wonder what's a reasonable threshold for "probably the same person". I've never had an alt on HN, and when I searched myself, it found 3 other users above 0.6, none of whom I've ever heard of before.
The art cliche "hands are hard" strikes again. Lucid dreamers also describe hands not looking right in dreams, using it as a tell that they are dreaming. I've also seen my hands look like these pictures when taking LSD. With merged fingers etc.

Looking at my hands and counting 5 fingers is definitely comforting.
thanks. so CSAs have no interest in pictures of naked toddlers..
OT: Is there any information where the name "isle of man" is originating from? It always sounded overly dramatic to me like "dawn of mankind". But apparently "man" neither stands for "male" nor "mankind" but instead is some weird term without further meaning? Is there some story behind it?
On the how to avoid section: Isn't running comments through a randomised translator a few times then back considered a countermeasure also?

Also think it's probably poor form to list users as examples without their permission.
well its tiny if you keep it 2k, and make sure you dont touch disk much, god forbid someone makes a query that requires a temp table.. a query you wouldnt even notice in a baremetal machine brings the whole rds setup down, cant even read the writeahead log and cant replicate and etc.. its like watching a slow motion train wreck from 2 queries per second

It would be convenient if the usernames linked to the comment pages on Hacker News (to avoid having to copy/paste and URL hack, which is made even slightly more annoying because for some reason when I tap and hold the usernames to copy them your markup--I haven't looked at why yet--is causing an extra space character to get copied on the left).

Tornado Cash is a sanctioned entity. Author knows the money came through Tornado. That information is sufficient to potentially make accepting the donation criminal, regardless of whether the original source of funds is a privacy-conscious, legit crypto investor, or a ransomware group in North Korea.
You got me there. The questionable aspects of 18th-century political sociology fundamentally *refute* the moral arguments in favor of democracy, in the same way diagonalization arguments refute theorems in computability theory. It's ironclad math.
On what hardware and how much parallelization? The max IOPS numbers are only when you’re saturating the command queue.

I'm confident they left that material in the cited reference. It might even be a major section since Japan is such a large market and there exists an extensive corpus of English business literature about Japan. It is because of that oft-described trade that I'm surprised anyone would want more of that reduced to the murky framework described here. Worth repeating, it's better to be absent to this playbill of characters

If it's >0.9 is you can almost guarantee it's an alt but I've seen certain matches at 0.6. The problem is writing styles change over time. Another idea I had was converting the scores which are just cosine similarity scores into percentiles (so 0.99 would be 99th percentile of certainty) to make them more human interpretable.
Seems weird that people would think "secret ownership" would be public, about a company located in China, which controls ownership info.

That said, what is on the books is irrelevant, if the senior staff are in the pocket of the PRC. Or, you know, their entire family is under threat, a common way to compel in China.

This has nothing to do with public ownership; it occurs with private ownership of the interior parcel as well. Are the outer parcel owners also unfairly encumbered by an access easement then?

Black Friday for me is about the tradeoff between money and patience.

Customers who do not have patience but have money can pay the normal marked up prices.

Customers who have patience but do not have money can wait for Black Friday.

Sure, you can have mid pricing all year round but that prices out a portion of your customer base.

A few billion Euro?

That's nothing even for a middle sized EU state.

Considering the whole EU such costs would be a rounding error; even really hard to spot in the budget.

But it would be an investment in domestic economy and a step towards independence form the empire. Should be a nobrainer therefore.
Physical truth is very different from socially constructed truth. It took me 25 years, great pain, and leaving my original Mormon faith to understand this.

Money, God, and What's Good are socially constructed truths, for example.

You can converge on understanding physical truth without necessarily converging on socially constructed truth.

Best way to learn gamedev by practice?
I want to learn how to make games but my usual approach to learning is through solving existing problems. Now making a whole video game is a little different from grinding on leetcode or making a simple desktop app. What is the best genre or type of a game to tackle first and which set of tools would you recommend for the overall solo gamedev experience?
I really really want to use this but it doesn't work with podman which is unfortunately a bit of a blocker. IMO every CI system should be runnable locally, with minimum effort. Otherwise you end up testing via git push and that's just an ugly development cycle.

This does make me wonder if you could create a sort of "local first CI" where CI is just an extension of local checks. Therefore the CI is just a check that tests that pass locally also pass on a clean machine. Obviously we don't want to run CI locally if it'd take an hour, but on the flip side, if CI takes an hour on a (typically) beefy local dev machine, it'll probably take 2 hours on a remote machine.
pretty cool- i think there should be a term for two accounts that have each other as the top most similar account. kinda sad i dont have one :(
This sounds a lot like what we're trying is solutions that put the people the state is helping under their power and observation and do not give them ownership, autonomy, or any sense of stability surrounding their living situation. I'm not surprised that this kind of intervention often leads to abuse, nor that it's not desired by most people affected
Ask HN: How do you satisfy your curiosity on the net
I myself use no app but instead direct browse to:
1. sites of local newspapers (it‘s a distraction i struggle to quit)
2. twitter (without app)- i do like twitter more than the newspapers but it’s also a distraction.
3. i browse verge.com and polygon (hardly read a whole piece there). i think this is about the visuals more than anything. i dont stay long.
4. HN: I skim the comments first if unsure about reading a piece. Here i probably read more than any other source.

Most everyone believes in the supernatural in one way or another, it is fundamental to human consciousness and culture.

Take for example this: "religious fairy tales" - now, perhaps your categorization of what is and is not a religious fairy tale is logically & epistemically perfect, but it is certainly not true of all people who say or believe such things, something I know from extensive experience conversing with atheists, scientific materialists, etc. I've also noticed that people have a tendency to judge the cognitive errors committed by those within their ingroup more charitably than those who are in their outgroups - not a particularly rational behavior, and plausibly a decent way to form incorrect beliefs, yet few have any interest in the phenomenon, especially sometimes.

As the algorithm used in the example is straight-forward I figured that using UNIX command line tools might be an even simpler way to implement it. Here is what I came up with:

time cat kjvbible_x100.txt | tr "[:upper:] " "[:lower:]\n" | sort --buffer-size=50M | uniq -c | sort -hr > /dev/null

On my machine this turned out to be ~5 times slower than the provided Python implementation. Nearly all of the time is spent in the first invocation of `sort`. Further increasing the buffer size doesn't make a significant difference. I also played around with the number of threads `sort` uses, but didn't see any improvement there either.

I'm quite puzzled why `sort is so much slower, especially as it does sorting in parallel utilizing multiple CPU cores, while the Python implementation is single-threaded.

Does somebody have an explanation for that?
Could you elaborate on what exactly "integrated communications and sensing" is and why it's so important here. I tried to do some quick reading but I failed to find any good high level overview of what it is. Most of what I was able to find seemed like academic research papers around beam-forming.
