> * No infrastructure unless you drive a bike. So children, older or disabled people mostly have to stay at home.

Every vietnamese has a bike or borrows it from a relative (yes, people here lend things and money as a normal thing, do not think it is like for westerners, for them it is the right, natural thing to do).

> * Lack of recreational infrastructure in cities. There are some parks, but it not a place where you would want to go.

I see regularly people walking in parks, playing badminton in parks, how come you do not want to go. There are even small places that sell drinks. Go to Vo Thi Sau/Hai Ba Trung park for example. There are quite a few parks

> * Air quality in big cities is actually terrible.

True. Hanoi even worse than Saigon.

> * Smaller and more touristic places have better infrastructure and air, but have no entertainment whatsoever. Like having single shopping mall for city with 300,000 population.

Vincom (District 1), Crescent Mall, GigaMall, at least in Saigon you have Zara, Uniqlo, Decathlon, Thegioididong... with that you should be reasonably covered, but there are also night markets (and day!). there are quite a few malls in Saigon. There are places to play games inside malls, climbing and others. People play badminton or this typical game in the street or in parks (go to the park next to Pham Ngu Lao in D1 and you will see it). There are a ton of restaurants in city and also more than enough places for drinks like Bam Bam, Qui Bar, and others.

> Some of issues can of course be compensated by fact of how cheap human labour is, but unfortunately having personal maid and cook wont help you with entertainment for your family or quality of air.

I do not think entertainment is that bad, the problem is the chaotic traffic and going from place to place. BTW there is a full network of buses in city, in Hanoi also. Not sure what is reachable but it covers a fair amount of space in city.
I've long advocated for building a candidate pool for both hires and promos from a low baseline (with the option to opt out for promo), then hire/promote randomly out of that pool. Then fire/demote based on demonstrated incompetence.

The important thing isn't that you promote the best worker; the key is that it isn't possible for the ambitious-but-incompetent to game their way up.
Marmot: A distributed SQLite replicator built on top of NATS
I’m really surprised you’d need 600 million to run this company. Like why not start with one farm in the tens of millions of dollars range and run that profitably first? VCs would save a lot of money.
Yes I have been victim of the very same thing too. I had to solve hundreds of captchas visiting almost every single website thanks to the centralized infrastructure of Cloudflare nowadays.

The issue is not blocking of IP addresses, the issue is one company hosting almost half the internet and having too much power causing such unintended consequences.
It also reinforces its dialog with every message it sends. It's really easy to get ChatGPT to stop giving you answers to all kinds of stuff if it's already denied your prompt. The chat history becomes part of the tokens for the next prompt. So the way it answers question 1. can influence how it answers question 2. This will compound with each new message.
Their deranged subreddit is again trending and all sides feel like they are getting oppressed so they spew their unscientific content around the web. You can't escape something when someone finds a way to troll all sides at once.
Not for the current state of Google. Their results have been dropping in quality for over a decade now (I wrote a blog post about this back then, so it’s been on my mind ever since). They’ve slowly lost the war against SEO and the search features they’ve built are more about keeping you on Google than helping you improve the quality of results.
I've used XPS 13's for years, and have had good luck.

The most recent one has a weird 'no edges' touchpad that I don't love.

One of the things that's really important to me is that they are configurable with 4K (or thereabouts) screens. If I'm going to be staring at it all day long, I want the highest quality screen possible, not some 1920x1080 screen that reminds me of chunky Atari pixels.
I’m confused by the idea that “Professor Scofield plotted and ordered the murders” is a statement of opinion. It seems like a clear example of what I’d consider a factual claim; it’s objectively true or false based on what happened in the physical world. Why does the factualness of her reasons for speaking the claim affect whether the claim itself is defamatory?
I don’t know anything about the services they use to provide results, but I’ve seen some services (geocoding lookups, google maps tiles, …) where they explicitly forbid caching.
>And there absolutely is something technically centralized about Solana. Multiple times before it was even listed on Coinbase, it was stopped and restarted by the developers. That should not be possible on a decentralized system. Period.

No, that's dishonest. It wasn't stopped and restarted by "developers". It was stopped and restarted by validators running Solana nodes after a massive surge in transactions locked it up for a few hours. The validators decided to run a forked version patched by developers because it was in their economic best interest to have a functioning chain.

Anyone can invest in the hardware and crypto to become a validator. This is no different than what happened when ETH and ETH classic forked, or when any other crypto hard forks during an emergency.

The validators are a small group, but that will change with scale, just like any other crypto.

If you can point to a single technical reason why Solana is centralized over other PoS cryptos, I'll happily stand corrected.

It paints a picture of an organisation which didn't see the need to accurately assess risk on a real time basis. If I was the COO I would want rolling projections for the week based on good/bad/ugly weather. But it seems SW was too busy cutting costs and building capacity as cheaply as possible to think about that.
Let's say Richie Rich buys a painting from Willy Wealthy for $100,000. Now Willy has an extra $100,000. What's he going to do with it?

There's an entire industry of artists making art to sell to the Richie Riches and Willy Wealthies of the world, and this has been going on since antiquity. Why do you think all that medieval Italian art was created? It was rich Italians patronizing the artists.

The same with real estate. In the meantime, while someone owns a house, they gotta pay others for insurance, repairs, maintenance, taxes, etc. Even buying the house will cost you 6% going to the starving real estate agent. Owning a house is very expensive, not counting the purchase price.
This was an amusing read. Unsurprisingly, you can learn some basic things about how three letter agencies operate from job postings. There was also an interesting issue that happened in 2013, a WaPo article listed some names of various programs and people subsequently were able to find additional names of programs by searching Linkedin profiles [1]. The NSA has a Github full of open-sourced tools, besides Ghrida [2]. And the NSA also has a youtube channel [3]. I came across a short 15 minute film about a cyber training exercise the NSA held in 2018. Seemed like a more involved CTF event, with a bring your own device policy, with most people running windows and using a VM when necessary and some people using linux, at least one person using Ubuntu.

It's funny that the response to a FOIA sounds so general and opaque that it makes the existence of these topics feel like matters of national security. Maybe asking about about this advisory [4] could help hit Ubuntu. Searching the National Cryptologic Museum for IBM related things could help hit some ancient DOS.

This is an awkward subject, those voices in our heads.

It won’t help you one bit, though we are confronted with an obstacle of our humanity.

It is taboo to talk about THE VOICES IN OUR HEADS, yet WE ARE NOT ALONE IN OUR OWN MINDS.

If I told you all about it you (dear reader) would argue with me endlessly on proofs and incredulity.

The long of it in short form…

We’re all screwed. Not only are we not alone in our own minds, there is a well established secret occult society that exists right among us which screws with us all through the “powers of the mind”.

Arguably you’re better off not knowing, yet enough is enough.

It is the correct default and anyone who states otherwise has not spent sufficient amount of hours on debugging obscure network latency issues, especially when they interact with any kind of complex software stack on top of them.
Yes, but the relative prices may remain the same such that N3 is always more expensive per transistor than N5.
> Sure you can get used to it and clearly millions of people live with it, but I can’t imagine the climate in Saigon is a selling point.

For me it is. The rain clears up the pollution, does not bother too much, and I can go to the swimming pool today or any day in the year.

> But she also complains about how awful the weather was compared to where she lives now

I do not think, this is my personal opinion, of course, that it is that bad as in the paper. Bc if you say it rains for 7 months people would run away. If you say, from those only 2-3 like every day, it rains in very concentrated spurts and does not clash with activities (if you work most of the day) and it cleans the air and you can still go to the swimming pool, for example, all year.

I do not think it is that bad after 11 years in Vietnam.
Notably, Kelleher stepped down from the CEO role at Southwest in 2001. So this crazy debacle of 2022 is largely a result of management that has not followed Kelleher's guidance.
When I was a kid I wondered how we knew space was a vacuum.

We have a good (excellent) idea of the density of the core. We also have an excellent idea of how density changes with pressure. Add in that the core must be magnetic and a fairly common isotope in the universe, and you're pretty much left with Fe.
If you cannot sell your founders shares, they're worthless. Companies issue more stock to sell and raise capital all the time.

Not directly, but indirectly it does. It makes the stocks valuable so the company can create shares and people will buy them. You know, like those stock options employees get.

It's a complex topic. Cosmopolitan white Australians generally tend to overcompensate on the virtue posturing front in regards to being pro black rights. Many not actually having ever met an indigenous member of our population. Rural whites tend to be more cynical as they have direct exposure to the effects of rampant alcoholism and crime in many indigenous communities.

I grew up around indigenous kids in Townsville several decades ago (shoes at our school were optional which I thought was a win for everyone). Honestly didn't consider the black kids any different, despite my actively racist parents.

The general consensus now is that the indigenous population is no doubt disadvantaged, but there's still an undercurrent of it being perceived as a self inflicted situation due to poor choices / victim mentality / whatever. A common story that does the rounds is of government provided housing having campfires lit in the living room.

I'd say it's a pretty universal opinion that all gov policy on the matter has been, and still is, ineffective or wasteful. I have no idea how you'd actually legislate effective change here though as it's most certainly not a matter of just throwing more money at the problem.
Any alien civilization capable of posing a physical threat to us probably will not recognize a significant distinction between us and say maggots. Better start worrying about coordinating our response with the maggot response...
That's not easy at all because larger caches are slower. A higher hit rate with worse latency can give worse performance. We may see more levels of cache to better optimize the tradeoffs.
Ask HN: Does treating analog components as blackbox make sense?
Hi friends,

I have been playing with electronics on and off for a while but never went deep or made anything with anything.

A minute ago I got a revelation: as a hobbyist who is more into digital than analog, I don't need to understand each component. I only need to know things such as, OK I have an electric signal (voltage for example) and I need to bend it a bit or smooth it a bit, so I need certain analog components to make it happen, and I can always play with the values to make the curves look like the way I want.

What I'm trying to say is to throw away the formulas and treat them as Lego blocks or blackboxes. I have an input and I need the output to be of certain value and shape, so I piece together some blocks and make it happen. That's it.

Does it make sense to you? To clarify I had no education on analog electronics and only read a few chapters about them.

Consuming it by spending it on unproductive things that nobody would spend their own money on. Governments are infamous for misallocation of funds to unproductive things. Businesses can't do that, or they go out of business.
When houses are sold, realtors get a percentage of the gross sale price (not just the gain), staging companies are brought in, painters and handymen are hired, and title companies, mortgage lenders, and assessors all get work. The local government also gets paid, in the form of transfer taxes.

These don't apply to all big ticket items, but since you mentioned houses, I thought I'd flesh out the picture on who benefits from buying/selling activity.

It's worth noting that all of these people get paid, regardless of whether the home seller made money or lost money on the home (or how much). So in a strong market, they will get a small share of the gains. But in a down market, the seller may make nothing, while these service providers all get paid.
The author also has a thread explaining why North Korea isn't culpable for any of its aggression and the U.S is entirely at fault. I understand hating the American Empire (as it's often called), but that's an interesting take.

Edit: they also seem to have an Instagram where they post things like "anti-asian violence is white violence/supremacy" (https://www.instagram.com/p/CMhakCoAA9q/). My point being they seem to be a professional at finding interesting or contentious topics and burying the lede.
Well, being subject to S&D of money is why they have the mandate to keep inflation at 2%, no? You can argue that measuring inflation is a poor way, but you'd have to come up with a better alternative.

The Political Compass quiz is extremely flawed and skews almost everybody to the libertarian left (which is aligned with the positions of its operators). The positions they have published in recent years for real-world politicians are complete nonsense (there is absolutely no way to justify the auth-right drift in their US presidential scores over the years, for instance).

There's absolutely no reason to think that the center of any of these systems actually maps to the central or majority position in US politics (or global politics, for that matter). One recurring observation about people with moderate/swing politics in the US is that they're ideologically less prone to grouping -- their positions correlate less strongly to each other than those of people further to the left or right.

Oh, I was looking for that but didn't remember that I had to click on the timestamp. Thanks for the reminder.

I'm not sure I would call the original comment a "good" comment; it was pretty low-effort since it just consisted of a single word and didn't mention "Spanish" or "Portuguese" at all. But it wasn't a malicious comment and it had a point.
If by "couple days" you mean "many months", sure... The whole thing is thoroughly documented by the man running the site, as well as the handful of psychopaths at the center of the campaign. They actually came very close to doing some very serious damage to the way the Internet works, not only with this harassment campaign to get the KF AS delinked - but also get the IP block revoked. For legal speech.

The interest rate would be set by how many people want to borrow money (buy) and how many people want to lend (sell). The convergence point would be the price of money aka interest rate.

It is hard to read this any other way then - you are in a privileged position of having never been personally challenged by a lack of privacy so are fine with privacy not existing. By that reasoning you are also OK with those who are effected being silenced, because they are, for example, not cisgender, white skinned and male and could face attack for random individuals for expressing their views in public.

The challenging thing about reading books like Bonhoffer is that it compels you to questioning what your response would have been if placed in the same situation.

Agreed that the hate campaign against indie devs was harassment and uncalled for, and agreed that the movement was largely trash, but you're skimming over a few details that I think are relevant.

A minority of the voices there were criticisms being levelled against Kotaku and IGN across the whole affair, as well as the whole on-site review fiasco. However I tend to refer to that as "pre-gamergate" since this was out there before the Brianna Wu stuff iirc.

Also the responsibility to do good journalism lies with the journalist and their publication, not the game company (the game company cannot objectively cover their own game anyhow). That was a mistake the gamergaters made a lot, and further damaged their credibility.
Python's lambda sums up everything that sucks in Python. It's a crippled, half-assed implementation of something which is considered a basic requirement for any programming language aiming for mainstream adoption. Even Java 8 did a better job after realising it wasn't too late in the day. Python's virtualenv requirement is also another admission of failure, IMHO.
WAP enabled phones (the early mobile internet protocol of the early 200s, using a card metaphor) tended to have elongated pixels as well. Converting images for this was fun!

(WAP used a special, binary image format, but the compiler for this didn't care about pixel ratio. The fun part was really designing and previewing these images on square-pixel hardware and then converting this to something which was still crisp on the actual hardware target. But then there were also PDAs, which did have square pixels…)
Haha congratulations! You got it.
