This would be true if lobbyists didn’t exist.

Too often those who benefit from the status quo masquerade under a pretense of helplessness while using their position to place a toe on the scales.

I’m curious though, are you in the category of benefiting landowner? Or coming to their defense in the name of something else?
This is why whenever I can (i.e. it’s not a breaking API change or it’s agreed on), I turn these implicit rules into explicit options named and documented as such in the code. Yeah it’s a little more to type, but it solves the “this isn’t obvious for good reasons” problem much better than a pair of defaults that you probably don’t even know how to look up.
I am with you on this, though I am in a minority at work. An underappreciated benefit is that you are signaling to the reader, when they first see the variable, that it will only be used briefly. That helps them ration their attention.

The strongest counter argument is that developers cannot be trusted to avoid building a house of cards if you let them use, even a single shortcut. And there is plenty of evidence, including my own experience, to back that up. But if you can prove you will re-factor when the time is right, it becomes a lot easier to make your case for brevity.
I don't believe so. I worked out the permutations for n = 3 and, accounting for rotations, you only get 2:
[0, 3, 4, 1, 2, 5]
[0, 5, 2, 1, 4, 3].
Of course, you get the expected answer of 12 if you multiply by 6.

MusicBrainz Picard cleans and labels your music automatically using sound signatures, even when the file has no metadata. You can just give it your files and let it run, rarely have I felt the need to monitor it. It gets stuff right 99% of the time, the rest 1% is easily fixable whenever you come across it.
The second boer war takes place with entirely different international domestic political and military context. The UK had a small professional force that it needed to husband not a large force of conscripts that enabled it to send troops to Africa without fear and firearms that let them be useful together with the means to supply them.

If you read the actual article, you'll see that the courts have specifically refrained from creating legal precedent in cases of corner crossing. I would imagine that regardless of the outcome, the court will refrain from setting any sort of useful precedent.
Great for you but that doesn’t really change the point. $80/hr is still very high for a lot of the world.
Apple and Microsoft have an in-house ad platform that is provided to, e.g. their app developers to use to monetize free apps, so people can be exposed to their ads there. Microsoft also runs ads on their free offerings, e.g. MSN News. I would expect Apple similarly runs ads on their free services.
Basing this on what the sex doll industry is doing feels a bit weird. I don't think I know a single guy who has bought a sex doll. Not even much banter about sex dolls tbh. Also the article doesn't talk much abt why the fashion industry uses the body types it does.

No need to be rude, I just thought "exactly zero" was a quote when you apparently wrote "virtually zero".
Yea, often vars are placeholders and making them descripting just makes them misleading and harder to get to the point. But yea at least I trust myself to refactor code and make the var name more descriptive if I see it's no longer just temporary placeholder... but would be a challenge to have others follow the same principle. One using is short name because it only helps, another to use it because you are just lazy.

I'm not observing this at all. Most of my Millennial family and friends are on Instagram, regularly posting Stories about their family or travel. Many 30-year-olds+ are as hooked on short-form content (TikTok, YouTube shorts, Reels etc.) as the younger generation, but the latter are more likely to contribute rather than passively consume.

Messenger apps are very popular, with WhatsApp still being the number one choice.

I don't know anyone outside of tech who regularly posts on Twitter. Most ignore it completely.

>But honestly, I'm fine with this move. It's still FOSS for FOSS-systems, while support for non-FOSS systems is non-FOSS. The folks who care about free-as-in-freedom won't be affected by this.

I completely agree. If you believe "software should be Free!", then you're going to be using a Linux (or other FOSS) system, not MacOS. On top of that, Apple users are happy to pay through the nose for Apple products, plus apps in the Apple app store. Many studies have shown that app developers make much more money in the Apple app store than in the Google Play store, because Apple users love spending money on stuff, and Android users tend to be much more frugal. Apple users were the ones totally happy to throw away their wired headphones and rush out and buy $150 AirPods when Apple took away their headphone jacks. So this company is smart with this move: make the product a paid product for that group of users that has proven they're happy to spend lots of money on things. If anything, this company might have erred by not pricing it high enough to make it look like a luxury purchase.
Private landowners should have to pay property taxes on any public land that is inaccessible to the public but accessible to them.
But trespassing laws do exist, as do airspace laws. I agree it’s an over-application of the law, but it’s not a law that doesn’t exist.

Like if I broke into Walmart and road a purple bike around while shooting stuff with a flamethrower, I don’t get to say “but no purple-bike-intrusion-arson-law exists”
Market cap incorporates valuation of future cash flows. So buying $1B worth of gold should result in a decrease of market cap because the market will typically discount the future value of doing that (ie you should be able to find better growth opportunities). Same goes for mergers - a merger is supposed to get you synergies that grow you more than you’d be able to accomplish by yourself.
> All of this shows how human birthing is much more difficult and painful than that of large apes.

Sounds logical and commonly beleived, however I had trouble finding any papers to actually support that humans have more maternal deaths.

A 2018 paper[1] says “The observations by Yeligulashvili, representing cumulative data on over 200 births spanning a 16 year period in the Sukhumi nursery, remain one of the largest reports documenting labor in NHP [non-human-primates]”. The paper about Baboons also said “there were 1021 cesarean deliveries, 5195 vaginal deliveries”, which either implies that the veterinarians are very often worried about the survival of the Baboon mother, or that the veterinarians perform cesarean deliveries for other reasons (like humans do).

There are strong evolutionary pressures against a mother’s death during parturition, which leaves one wondering what the other evolutionary compromises are that result in maternal death. The survival of a baby mostly trumps the needs of a mother for passing on genes (a gene where a child lives to breed has a very strong selection pressure), so that probably is one major reason.

If human societies have brought up maternal death orphans for many many generations, then maternal deaths should become more common?

Businesses may be not constrained with the link times, but they for sure are worried with growing executable sizes. And large dev teams rarely reduce the code size, they just keep adding layers and layers of code as the time goes, eventually running beyond the permissible app size on the appstore. Can it solve such growth problem? Many large companies will be "sold" on this idea instantly https://twitter.com/stantwinb/status/1336890442768547845
Time for someone to start a non-profit helicopter/ultralight/balloon service to piss off the land owners by flying in.

As you grow older and wiser, remember that you said this:

“Their direct experience means nothing to the actual reality.”

This is how the enlightenment ends, in a nutshell. Over-confident denial of reality, supported by misleading statistics and buggy models.

“Since we’re awash in this contemporary ocean of speculation, we forget that things can be known with certainty, and that we need not live in a fearful world of interminable unsupported opinion. But the gulf that separates hard fact from speculation is by now so unfamiliar that most people can’t comprehend it.” — Michael Crichton
As someone who believes in the scientific method, the connection to a Twitter following and whether or not that has anything at all with science or just the regular day to day world is irrelevant. There is an actual discovery process to identifying someone as an expert and I think the main take away here is that scientific merits matter less than preaching about your accomplishments. Unusual article and message.
As a kid in an intro philosophy class, the Trolley Problem sounded really cool and interesting and was great to talk about.

After [cough] decades as a grown-up, I've noticed that real-world Trolley Problems pretty much don't exist. Maybe if I was a medic on a battlefield in Ukraine, making "keep trying to save this guy, vs. rush over there to where several other wounded soldiers need help..." decision?

So - I generally figure that Self-Driving Cars (or fork lifts, etc.) should have some simple "kinda try to minimize impact energies and bias toward quickly coming to a stop out of the way" algorithm for ~all situations where hitting things seems unavoidable. Don't waste too many LoC's on it. I've never heard that any government required humans to study Trolley Problems before they got a driver's license.

How was your parent poster rude? The poster seemed simply to be stating a fact.
The "different frequencies at the same time" feature is called Multi-Link Operation (MLO). MLO has multiple operating modes and one of these, Simultaneous Transmit and Receive (STR), allows for using 1 link (say 5 GHz) for upload and 1 link (say 6 GHz) for download as a valid combination effectively creating a "full duplex" connection in terms of the data transfer. I'm optimistic this will work and be supported "well enough" in a home scenario.

Most Wi-Fi heads are more excited about the use of MLO for roaming improvements in enterprise networks though. The ability of the client to completely associate to another AP on another radio before officially roaming the traffic to it could be interesting.

Overall MLO is going to be an interesting rollout. Just like many had fears of MU-MIMO sounding great on paper but being near useless in the real world on real devices with real drivers it's possible this ends up as more a "you can if you precisely set up ideal conditions and select the devices to see this work really well" for most of the modes of operation. I think the roaming one is relatively safe and the worst case is you just fall back to normal roaming. The more complicated ones where there are a lot of combos about how a client can associate to multiple APs and actively do things feels like a complicated coordination nightmare and that might take a really long time, if not forever, for client devices to get good at.
The navigable airspace of the US is under the jurisdiction of the FAA. That’s generally all of 500’ above ground and up, plus those amounts that are lower as required for takeoff and landing.
Meanwhile, in California:

I live within walking distance of a lake. We take frequent walks there. If I so much as touch the water with my big toe, I could get a ticket/citation. If I insist, I could be arrested. If I jump into the water (even wearing a floatation vest), same thing. You are only allowed to be in the water while lifeguards are present, and only for a few seconds if you fall off your paddleboard or something like that. If you are walking along the shore with water up to your ankles, lifeguard or not, you could be cited.

No, this is not a source of drinking water at all.

Every time I go to the lake I have the same thought: So much for "land of the free".

Note: Yes, of course, I understand this is mostly because people have sued and extracted money from the State/County, etc. That's likely the root cause. The solution isn't to ban everyone.

I'd caveat that this should apply to land over a certain size, and the landowner shouldn't have to build/maintain a road, but otherwise yeah, I agree.
This is some public-land HOA shit, imagine purchasing land deeds just so someone cannot experience or use public land.

These people deserve to get smacked down in court, and I hope they get fucked with the legal fees. They're misers, and contribute nothing to society.

In the UK this principle applies even to private land in most cases. Not people’s back gardens, but if you own a large amount of land, they’ll almost always be public rights of way through it. And even where there’s not, you’ll usually be alright crossing it so long as you’re not making a nuisance of yourself.

The idea that so much land is privately owned and shut off to everyone else seems downright dystopian to me.

What a bizarre situation. It seems rather pointless for land to be public when it's not accessible by the public. Banning access to that land because of such a corner case seems quite unreasonable. But I also question why this checkerboard pattern was used to often when there was no rule to allow public access to the public lands between them. I've got to assume that such access must have been implicit.
Public land must be made accessible to the public. And the owners of the private land must maintain the public access road.

Otherwise, we will get more inaccessible public beaches, like Vinod Khosla is currently holding hostage: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2020/01/08/califor...
Actually, no. The number depends on the position at the table—rotations are distinct.

For 3 couples:

Mrs A must sit between Mr B and Mr C. Mr B can be on her left or her right, 2 possibilities. After those two seats are chosen, everyone else’s seat is determined.

But there are 6 places Mrs A might sit. Hence, for 3 couples there are 12=2x6 possible seatings, including rotations.

This [1] site addresses your intuition. The number of seatings up to rotations is the total number of seatings, divided by the number of seats (2x number of couples).

Haven't tried yet. I don't think it will still be adequate since it follows an workflow that requires precise knowledge of tempo and rhythm before knowing the melody which is simply not how "my brain works". But since I use it mostly to listen repeated parts of a new music I choose to learn, it is certainly good enough for my needs.
Ask HN: Should I separate out my Twitter posting with different accounts?
HN, please help me with a decision that I can't seem to make my mind on. I want to know if I should post about different niches into different twitter accounts.

I like to tweet ML/AI related stuff including papers, and also about stuff related to my blog (which is more about "getting smarter and understanding the world"). These two audiences have only minimal intersection.

I get decent engagement with the former, but not with the latter. For the former, I have a lot of my colleagues and people in the circle following me, which helps. For the latter, I haven't built the audience yet. Based on the followers and engagement it feels like my Twitter is a "work Twitter".

I also feel weird about posting about my blog to my work Twitter. For my blog I think I need to wear a different hat and become a bit of a marketer, which just feels weird. So an option is to separate things out, but that makes it very hard for me to get started from scratch.

Any thoughts?
> The question is always when-where-by how much..

Maybe the question should be "if". Despite the years of research, trillions of dollars, and multiple world ranked supercomputers dedicated to the task - climatologists still can't reliably predict anything from their models. I don't know that the accepted excuse is for it (though I suspect it is just never discussed), but I know that when my models fail - it is because I didn't sufficiently understand the system being modeled.
The day these people can accurately predict global atmospheric conditions a year out, that is the day that we can begin discussing the sanity of geoengineering. Until then it is obviously insane. Also, the selling of "cooling credits"... obvious psychotic-money-grab is obvious.

Yeah, not sure. I did this by trial and error.

As per this other thread [1], it appears that if you ask it to do things step by step it usually can arrive at the desired solution.

If you're trying to coax it to say bad things though... it's very likely it will bump into the many protections OpenAI has added.

I came to the defense of the truth. I read the whole article and I read nothing in it that would suggest the land owners have the ill intent that many attribute to them. It seems to be an assumption people quickly jump to but it's not in the article.
> The world has this deranged flow to it lately that people "need" help on the most basic survival aspects of life

Well yeah, we're a social/interdependent species. We generally don't do particularly well trying to survive purely independently, nor has any significant percentage of mankind ever really tried (or needed to).

The "pulling the rug" part is the one fair point you make - it's often true that we expect once people reach a certain stage they can suddenly manage by themselves. But these are often people that for whatever reason lack close friendship circles and are alienated from their families and communities, i.e. the very people that you and I turn to for help all the time without even thinking about it.
Without any context, the bill that Hansen ~~is sponsoring~~ supposedly wrote is pretty terrifying in and of itself: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/313...

The idea that someone in the US walking along basically unmaintained paths in the woods that may be on private property will routinely sue somebody if they trip and break a bone is a trope that really needs to die. It's just idiocy and doesn't even fall in the man bites dog category but more in the man bites mountain lion category.

People who live in rural and semi-rural areas in the US are mostly pretty chill in general with people respectfully using their property, especially at the edges, in my experience.
