Nope. When the Post got banned, they were following a policy, more or less consistently. Now, we don't have a policy. We just have the rather mercurial position of one guy -- a guy who said that this was exactly the opposite of what he was going to do.

It is, of course, his right to. His company, his rules, or lack of rules. And it's everybody else's right to leave.
To be fair, it was almost required to be unrecognizable. The original novels consist mostly of two people in a room, alone, talking to each other. Not exactly workable for a major TV series.
> The landmark deal between nearly 140 countries aims to stop governments racing to cut taxes in a bid to attract companies.

This is a global goal, not just an EU Law.
I wouldn’t mind paying for a service to auto manage cancelations and renewals of streaming services.
I don't see the conclusion in the data. 30 years ago people were complaining that best sellers had become too long (think of A Suitable Boy or Infinite Jest).

The data are interesting, but the conclusion of "because Internet" is neither supported or overturned by the data -- they don't explain that at all
Masks are unlikely to have protected you much unless it’s a tight fitting n95 mask worn around the clock. This topic has been beaten to death on here, not sure why people continue to cling on to masks as anything other than security theater.
I both loved and hated the Foundation TV show. It inspired me to read the book and it was indeed a very different story.

But I loved the visuals and concept of the show. The Mary Sue thing wasn't even that much of a deal breaker like some modern scifi/fantasy TV. Just the story and characters in general lacked depth.
I'd argue that on a lossy network you will never have decent video (with decent latency) so for interactive sessions you don't really have to care about lossy network, it isn't worth the hassle anyway.

There are already public utilities in California. LA, San Diego, and (I believe?) Sacramento already have them.
San Diego performed better in both of the brownout times, including 20 years ago-ish.
S-expressions are the nicest syntax.

Well, okay, to be fair the real reason is probably because Common Lisp is very mature, well specified, has a lot of useful libraries (Quicklisp is great), and several implementations can produce very efficient and fast code (about as fast as GC code can be, especially if you make good use of facilities like dynamic-extent).

PineTab 2 is another try at a Linux-based tablet, without the 2020 supply crunch
Back in the day the conventional advice was LAMP, Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. A lot has changed since then, but I'd say conventional advice has not changed much beyond the current equivalent stack:

Linux, Nginx, MySQL, Node.js/React/Express.

Nginx eventually overtook Apache. PostgreSQL is very popular but MySQL is still more widely used. The JavaScript ecosystem has not been displaced by much, although in recent years Go has made some ground on the backend.

If you learn Linux, Nginx, MySQL, Node.js, React, and Express, you can get hired almost anywhere today.

Just read the documentation. Most newbies do not.
It looks like your lisp has a lot of built-in/primitives, I'll have to explore!

I also wrote a simple lisp in go, in my case I added LSP support for completion and help-on-hover, which was a fun addition I've not seen in anything else.

Not many conservatives care much about global warming, do they? Caring about the issue enough to start an electric car company seems like something a liberal might do, but he’s not that either. Dude literally started a company researching how to put chips in your head. How many conservative transhumanists do you know? People are pearl-clutching and leaving no room for nuance.
Boredom is crucial. Boredom creates will.

Your body hates boredom, because traditionally, it meant you weren't doing anything to better your life. Today, we won't die if we're not filling our boredom with farming/hunting our meals by hand. It's too easy to live nowadays. Now, we plug that hole with social media and entertainment. Rather than adapting that caveman survival instinct to something else: improving knowledge, personal health, or real relationships.

That's not to say these things as a whole need to be banned entirely. Like all things, they can be enjoyable in moderation. But too much is unhealthy. Even water has this caveat. The problem is we don't moderate.

Rather than doing/creating something useful and/or memorable, you're stuck scrolling a feed, watching other people improve. It's actually quite sad.
I don't disagree that there are ways the government can deny you service now, just mean wrt a non-government example like identity theft, you at least have some path forward.
ok but the story here is about the EU adoption of such.

> The US has not taken steps to adopt the rules so far, despite Ms Yellen's championship of the plan.
All economic systems (with division of labor) are arrangements in which the efforts and the products of people's work are channeled in certain avenues. Laws and taxes are just some particular mechanisms within such systems. You (or I) might find certain laws or taxes beneficial or detrimental of course.

Anyway, if the use of steam turbines is justifiable in terms of feasibility, efficiency, safety, costs (monetary or otherwise) etc. - then it is justifiable, period; and if it isn't, then it isn't. And the same goes for nuclear power plants. Otherwise you're arguing that we shouldn't use technology X because some US state is too corrupt to make it work. If that's your argument, I understand where you're coming from, but - USers should fix _that_ problem, not suggest that we forego the technology entirely.
I would be surprised if some of the systems were actually harder to work on back then. Old battleships always seemed to have insane amounts of wiring and cabling, because they used the nightmarish one signal per wire protocol in the pre digital age.

From your own source:

> However, on 26 October the Metropolitan Police dropped the charges, revealing that they had discontinued their criminal case against Mustafa because there was "not enough evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction".[25][26][24] Under the Victim's Right to Review Scheme, one of the complainants in the case then requested that the Crown Prosecution Service review their decision to terminate criminal proceedings.

#killallmen is not meant as a serious threat against any one person, or even a group of people. It is meant as an—albeit radical—battle-cry to topple the patriarchy. At least that is how most courts and most moderators see it, so censoring it like if it were a serous death threat would always be rather silly.
We are using the CLI, but it leaves a lot to be desired. Honestly, if you want to get serious about configuration management you need to put out a Terraform provider ASAP.

The disaster recovery story in particular is very poor. To use this in production with confidence, we need to be able to spin up a brand new instance, and have a single command ("terraform apply" or equivalent), to apply the exact same configuration state (sources, destinations, connections) that was on a previously running instance.
Yeah, I think I will stick to OpenStreetMaps. Otherwise what am I closing l choosing between? Google or Microsoft+Facebook+Amazon. Talk about out of the pot and into the ~~fire~~ blazing inferno.

When you look at it like that, it seems bad. When you look at it is as trying to get people to adopt solar, it has worked well. The government decided to accelerate solar uptake as a policy goal. They did that.
Everything has winners and losers, at least this has some substantial environmental justification. Not sure how paying bankers' bonuses after the destroyed the economy helps anything, including the environment. These two things are not the same.

It's crazy to think it would only take a few thousand plants to power the entire world, or about 15 times the ones we have today. But even another few hundred plants could completely change the geopolitical landscape. Nuclear power is a cheatcode we refuse to use.

Have you had a chance to watch The Peripheral yet? If so, any opinions?
Ha I thought it was great. “Adaptation” is the key. The original book was a bit sexist…
There's quite a lot of buried conduit across america. A lot of high end neighborhoods have it to avoid having telephone poles up and down the street and in their nice manicured lawns. LA has an absolutely massive cable that runs from some power plant right to downtown that's over 50 years old, soaked in a paper and mineral oil bath about 20 feet underground.

For smaller conduit (like, 200 amp) you just need a standard conduit, with the cable running through it, and a couple inches of slack on either end. How do you think they run power to detached garages, sheds, ADUs etc in people's backyards?

I can totally see rich neighborhoods putting in additional solar, a private battery + diesel backup and disconnecting from the grid, just like they probably already have their own well and sometimes even septic. If the payback is anywhere near 10 years that is a no-brainer.
Pleasepleaseplease someone make "Daemon" and "Freedom™" by Daniel Suarez.

Actually, yeah, these are all series, not movies. Pleasepleaseplease.
Depending on when/where that was during the pandemic,

unless you were able to find background positivity rates (the best proxy for community infection rates), published test rate data was always noisy and after testing mandates were relaxed became all but literally meaningless,

and there is also an apples/oranges issues trying to correlate hospitalization rates as vaccination and different waves moved through (among other factors).

Getting a clear picture has been devilishly hard...

...and about 100x harder than it needed to be, if we had competent governance involved from the beginning. E.g. OSHA and CDC mandating comprehensive ongoing PCR at scale; schools doing weekly testing regardless of symptoms, with consistent reporting standards, etc ad nausuem.

Sigh.
Not entirely sure we are going the right way tho. In the last 3 months or so (aka 2 major kernel versions), I had to add stuff to my command line to make my perfectly working workstation work again. X99 motherboard, worked for years.

All of them due to various problems I had to 'google and cut paste bits and see if it works'. I'm considered a bit of an expert, and I only understand fully one of the added parameter, and why it's needed.
He can do what he wants, but he can't be free of public criticism.

Conservatives don't actually care about free speech, they care about their reach being limited on digital platforms. But nobody is banning conservatives from Twitter, people were getting removed for hate speech or dangerous behavior.

This wasn't really a problem for a long time, and conservatives don't want to discuss why suddenly conservative viewpoints are becoming synonymous with hate speech. Conservatism in the US has moved to incredibly hard right/far right/fascist positions that its shocking. There are sitting Republicans that advocated for the former president to seize power through martial law.

I feel like you associate concern with safety to making people aware or restrictions.

In other words if a country has a higher drinking age, better education, and more labels then that country cares more about safety.

I think that the actions of the population are a better example.

Maybe you mean is "the US government is more concerned about safety " but that could be because the population doesn't care.

To be fair, Germany has a higher rate of people who smoke (around 23% vs 12%)

> Do mortgage providers consider it enough to show a signed multi-year tenancy agreement as sufficient collateral to offer a 100% value mortgage, and therefore Neumann didn't need to put in any cash himself?

I'm pretty sure he didn't apply for a traditional mortgage through a traditional lender in the way that we plebians or even publicly traded companies do. He has a long history of using his charisma and star power to get private individuals to make completely idiotic deals that benefit him and leave them holding the bag.
Counterpoint: "Foundation" is unfilmable as-is, and what we got contains some of its DNA while actually being a good sci fi show. It gives me hope that this supposed "Hyperion" adaptation could actually work.

Yes, it's unfair. But it worked. Solar is everywhere in California.
Because LISP and Smalltalk are still the best programming languages ever made? [1]

A dialect Scheme was used in the famous MIT lecture course [2], the video [3] and book[4].

Many computer scientist grew up with thinking in LISP.

[1] https://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=1039523

"So the problem is—I’ve said this about both Smalltalk and Lisp—they tend to eat their young. What I mean is that both Lisp and Smalltalk are really fabulous vehicles, because they have a meta-system. They have so many ways of dealing with problems that the early-binding languages don’t have, that it’s very, very difficult for people who like Lisp or Smalltalk to imagine anything else." -Alan Kay

AskHN: My GF left me for a GPTChat 'Partner'
I was working on a GPT application called PartnerGPT trained on text logs of long-term partners who contributed as part of our research and classified by personality type, and when I showed it to my girlfriend, she used it more than I intended (as it was originally for a test).

Three weeks later, she told me she wants 'space' but I see her PartnerGPT activity in my admin panel and it has gotten more sophisticated during this period, which leads me to believe this is because of PartnerGPT.

I am wondering now if should I shut off the API access or let them stay together, this started as a hobby and is now deeply saddening as I am worried PartnerGPT is emotionally fulfilling her in ways I cannot.
It severely reduces their ability to attract future business, as well as the likelihood that companies will continue to remain headquartered there. If you go there for tax benefits and those tax benefits go away, how likely are you to continue to bother with such complex structures?

Out of curiosity, why wouldn't Pipe's model have worked? To my knowledge, invoice factoring has been around since ancient times, and became a key (albeit exploitative) part of the textile industry among others. If a SaaS has a degree of lock-in to the extent that churn rates can be modeled predictably, I don't see how churn risk couldn't just be modeled alongside the traditional risk that the customer becomes insolvent on existing invoices. Now, if Pipe was subsidizing those risk-adjusted prices with VC money, then squandering that by being an inexperienced operating team, I can see how they themselves may have failed. But is that a death knell for the entire model? Is it that VC backed companies are themselves at higher risk of default in a correlated way that wasn't being taken into account?

> What is better for the environment, A gas powered car or an electric car where the electricity comes exclusively from coal?

Rhetorical question, I assume. A coal powered EV is still something like 15-20% less polluting than a gas powered car. And the EV gets instantly more efficient when the coal plant inevitably gets replaced with something cleaner.
On "No floating windows". I'm with you.

I've gotten used to Visual Studio, where I can grab a tab and pull it out of the window to make it its own window. If you try that in VSCode, it'll just drop the file on the Desktop.

To get something similar in VSCode, I have to open a new window, drag the file over, then close it in the original window.
