> Term is 35 (but inducing that early isn't ideal

Conflating natural delivery (where the body has decided, for whatever reason, that it is now time to deliver the child) with induction is not an appropriate comparison.

> 37 is the earliest you want to go if you can choose).

I would be willing to wager money that you are not going to find ANY obstetrician in the US who will induce at 37 weeks for no other reason than familial "choice" ("elective induction"). In fact ACOG specifically says that it should not happen without medical basis.

> The idea that you got busted for an 1oz of weed and went to prison isn't aligned to reality.

Perhaps you should read more about prison in Arizona, and of law enforcement officials like Sheriff Arpaio.

Here: https://hernandez-hamilton.com/the-arizona-criminal-justice-...

Some quotes from that and the ACLU:

> It is grotesquely expensive, unduly punitive, discriminatory against minorities (especially against Latinos) and does little to actually keep our communities safe or cut down on recidivism.

> About 1 out of every 40 Latino men in Arizona are currently in prison. Even more are currently in the various other phases of the criminal justice system (pretrial release, jail, probation, parole, warrant status etc.). Arizona prison population is more than 40 percent Latino, but Latino’s only make up about 27 percent of our overall population.

> Our legislature is to blame for these insane prison statistics because it allows itself to be influenced by Arizona prosecutors to scuttle any prison reform initiatives. Prosecutors have a powerful lobby called Arizona Prosecuting Attorney’s Advisory Council (“APAAC”) which it uses to influence the legislative process to its own benefit. In the last few years alone, Arizona’s prosecutors have opposed bail reform, sentencing reform, and lighter drug sentences while supporting stiffer penalties for a number of offenses.

You may recognize APAAC - it's one of the sources you quoted with reference to "prison is full of dangerous and violent offenders". When I first read it it sounded like a District Attorney's campaign speech, and no wonder - it's their lobbying organization, that has opposed each and every reform bill in AZ in the last 24 years.

> You didn't steal a bicycle.

Or of an Arizona man convicted of several thefts in the space of three months from yards, sheds, all agreed by the state to be non-violent offenses, and only a couple involved entering any structure at all... his sentence? Two hundred and ninety two years. What did he steal that earned this sentence? A drill, flashlight, telescope, credit card.

Arizona also repeatedly sentences people sentences, up to life, with parole. Including plea bargains. And then it abolished the concept of parole. For nearly 300 people, this means now the state has "changed the terms of the deal or sentencing after the fact". (https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/arizona-investiga...)

Your attitude of "most of these people are dangerous criminals" is also not entirely aligned with reality.

They make dumb 4K TVs up to 75".

(I really wished they made an 85" when I was in the market a couple of years ago, instead I bought a TV from Costco and opened it up and disconnected the WiFi module before powering it up for the first time.)

My grandparents bought me this game at the Viking Museum in York, England back in the early 1990s. It sat on a shelf for 30 years and then I took it out with my 10yo son last summer and actually played the game. It's really fun! Reminds me of Go.
Can this really be worth $3,800 with 32" 4K TV's going for ~$200?
I just ditched their 32” 4k for their - cheaper - 42” 4k displays and haven’t looked back since. Finally I get 4K sans dpi scaling. 42” is huge, but perfect for hn type work. IDE, terminal, browser, mail/chats all on one screen, all readable, no compromises.

I’m sure there are people who benefit from 6k on 32”, but if you’re coding and you haven’t tried the 42”, you may want to do it.

Exactly. The evidence in the video is utterly meaningless.

Here is what he has:

- The scan of the magistrate judge's pen looks like it is running out of ink.

- The form was copied and edited, and some of the edits use inconsistent fonts or have artifacts from being printed and scanned previously.

- The magistrate judge left off the year in one instance, and the time in another.

So what? Nothing about that says anything was forged. It's not unusual for attorneys and the Court to use messed up forms, because the forms aren't what matters. You could hand-write it on a napkin and it would be valid. Nor is it unusual for a hurried judge to be inconsistent in how they sign things.

Nothing here indicates a "forgery."

OSHA would disagree, and even racetracks have rules.

I think a lot of developers on HN just have a problem dealing with the fact the rules are going to be applied to them. If you become an owner of a company your engineering rules go away, but then you have all the regulatory fun of a business owner trying to make a living and selling things at the same time. Working for a larger organization tends to have benefits like steady pay, but in return they ask for you to justify your expense and it's very possible the people asking for justification have no idea exactly what you do.

I've enjoyed reading a YC founder named Liron Shapira's Twitter threads on a16z Crypto's blatant scams. E.g.

- On Helium: Received $365M in investment, convinced regular people to spend $250M buying hotspot nodes in hopes of earning passive income. The result? Helium's total revenue is $6.5k/month. Link: https://twitter.com/liron/status/1551738599254773765?lang=en

- On Axie Infinity: blatant Ponzi scheme disguised as "play-to-earn"https://twitter.com/liron/status/1554941450697179136?lang=en

I obviously disagree in almost every particular here, but we seem to be mainly talking past one another, so I'm tapping out here. I am truly sorry about your experience though, just as I am for everyone who has been sexually assaulted.
My guess is that AI omitted 'a' because this is essentially how natural language processing works. Perhaps it cannot see 'a' because the input has been stripped of 'a' or 'the', and so on.
> This incentivizes storage and time-shifting usage to solar peak times, which seem to be needed in California. Does anyone know if there are pricing signals to help with that? For example, if I (as a power-plant operator or whatever) found a way to sell electricity right as the sun is going down, am I rewarded for that?

NEM3.0 incentivizes exactly that. It prices exported electricity at the avoided cost rate. During the late summer and early fall, between 7-9PM that can be more than $1/kWh, or 3x the average NEM2.0 rate [1]. Of course to maximize that rate you need to store energy and sell it back at the optimal time.

The average rate with NEM3.0, however, is much lower.

If misinformation is defined as false or inaccurate information with or without the intent to deceive, it raises the question of how many doctors could potentially be accused of unprofessional conduct. It is difficult to see how this Bill, which aims to address the issue of misinformation, can be reconciled with the first amendment's protection of free speech.

"(3) “Disseminate” means the conveyance of information from the licensee to a patient under the licensee’s care in the form of treatment or advice.

(4) “Misinformation” means false information that is contradicted by contemporary scientific consensus contrary to the standard of care."

Your mileage may vary. I'm using a 38" screen (21:9) daily since four years and I wouldn't want it any other way. Except maybe a single 49" monitor (which does 32:9 I think).
That's clever! If you get an "equal" result from the scale, then you can put those balls on the scale with the unknown ones, so you can maintain symmetry in the weighings.
That’s in fact what I suggest in my blog post. But I am pretty certain that it is far from simple. I’m told that the previous Korean government already tried to tackle this issue and failed. It’s a huge and complicated mess.
Certainly, their relentless fervor for crypto has destroyed the reputation of a16z, though it made them a lot money, and it remains to be seen if there will really be any repercussions for them.

In a country with a functioning regulatory system, the partners would be looking at jail time for their involvement in these scams, but I suspect they'll come out of this just fine.
I also noticed this in university and I was curious enough about it to read some history books. I believe that society never cared about young men. They were always left to fend for themselves.

In my opinion, the part that's new in modern times is the transparency caused by the internet. Rags to riches, washing dishes to becoming a billionaire, ... these stories have always been extremely unlikely to happen in practice. But without a way to check the statistics, people still kind of believed in them. With the access to information that we have now, that is changing and so people are checking out when they notice that the structure of society is stacked against them. I mean it always has been, but without the internet people didn't notice it so clearly.

And yes, I also believe that feminism might play a role, but more on the demand side: Nowadays, it is not mandatory anymore for the man to have a good enough job to feed the family, because double-income-households have become the norm. Back in the days where typically only the man would be the breadwinner, there was probably a stronger psychological pressure for men to deliver. I'm not sure if the absence of that nagging is good or bad, but it sure changed in the past 50 years.

I would be super curious to know how this impacts adult usage. Adding an ID verification must bounce a lot of users. I could see it maybe not mattering as much because PornHub has such a strong market position (they also own basically all of the other mainstream sites https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MindGeek) but I could also see it mattering a more because people may be especially cagey about tying their ID to their private browsing habits. If that is the case this could potentially kill large sites in favor of a lot of smaller sketchier sites that are more difficult to regulate.

The last time I actively looked into it (granted, some months ago), it was somewhat hindered by https://github.com/python/mypy/issues/9309 causing it to re-evaluate sources quite a lot during editing even with mypyd.

I agree that it makes sense for cryptographers to be jumpy around papers claiming improvements in quantum factoring, even if those papers are low quality and likely to be wrong. But that doesn't mean you stop calling the papers low quality and likely to be wrong.

I guess I'd also be a lot more sympathetic if the paper had a paragraph in the abstract, or at least the intro and conclusion, where they explicitly positioned the paper as a wild idea that could work but probably won't but is still worth considering because of the risks.

Did you watch the video? This is a convicted criminal nitpicking documents in his own case and then ranting about the judicial system. There is no real indication that any fraud or "scummy behavior" occurred here at all.

The point of the words isn't in service of the hearing impaired it's to convince the person of the worthiness of a cause or at least to keep an open mind while watching a 16 minute youtube video. The meat of many matters can be digested in about 10 seconds and the whole meal disposed of in 5-10 minutes given that adults easily read at 300 words per minute.

Most "causes" on youtube are to be quite frank absolute garbage and take 15-30 minutes to cover issues that could profitably have been read in 2 minutes of actual content in between ads and words from your sponsor. You had about 10 seconds to convince people that they wouldn't be wasting their time watching the video and you entirely failed.

Based on reading others analysis it could have been summarized as convicted conman who is almost certainly guilty alleges unproven proprietorial misconduct to distract from own guilt and invites rubes to get in on the con on the ground floor.

I believe that misconduct happens even happens frequently and have an interest in stopping it but I don't believe the most effective vehicle for that change would be donating money to a conman. I would prefer causes like the ACLU and the innocence project while leaving this party to handle his own affairs. I trust that his extreme vested interest in dealing with this matter will inspire him to pursue it to its end without outside investment.

Sorry, if the chances are one in a billion, and there’s 7 billion to choose from it’s actually not rare at all. That’s why you should be very careful to either use this kind of evidence either to find a suspect or as proof, and not both. But I’m sure we all know there’s plenty of ‘tough on crime’ judges that wouldn’t care about convicting someone based on this kind of seemingly rare occurrence.

As you’d expect, this involves creating a monad for all the actual messy OS stuff. The capabilities therein are described by quite nice type classes (potentially representing hardware capabilities or your own address space, for example), which is interesting because you could build something like OpenBSD’s pledge that’s formally provable at the type level etc. I remember another somewhat functional approach to OS programming being to hide the privileged bits of system calls behind curried functions so your process gets effectively a private view of the kernel:

This is just the "enlightened centrism" theory I think. There's no inherent virtue in neutrality between abstract issues. And acknowledging uncertainty or being flexible to reevaluation doesn't necessarily lead you to neutrality either.

You're also trying to frame it so that anyone who does consistently choose a side is inherently an extremist, and that these two extremes are "liberal" and "conservative."

The idea that political extremes are more similar to each other than to a moderate position is called horseshoe theory, and it has very little support among political scientists. It doesn't even apply in this case because, again, the two "sides" in american politics aren't even opposite extremes. In most peer countries the democrats would be solidly center-right and the republicans are off to their right. On the far left is a gaping hole where communists, anarcho-syndicalists, revolutionary socialists etc would be.

In practice people who call themselves moderate are usually consistently aligned with one of the two major parties, they just don't want to incur the social costs of that alignment in at least one context. Or and relatedly, they want to present themselves as being morally and intellectually superior to both, too "enlightened" to be duped into taking sides like inferior thinkers.

There's nothing wrong with understanding yourself and your world well enough to pick a side on an issue, or find allies for it. Again the self-questioning you describe isn't unique to centrists nor the reason for their centrism.

My positions are extreme, as are those of many of my friends and associates. We doubt too. Yet we find that we must act anyway, and risk being wrong or foolish.

luu, could you say a few words on what you found interesting about this thesis? The first chapter sounds impressive, but later it only seems to be defining a monad around typical operating system tasks. That means you still have to deal with GC, and I would not call that approach "well integrated with purely functional programming", as it essentially defines an imperative DSL. But I have only looked at this briefly and I would appreciate deeper insight.

After switching to Roku for my TVs (so much better than FireTV, at least), I find it easier to just get the TCL Roku TVs now. They're cheap, and have the Roku built right into them. Plus it's all in one remote, and I can even turn on my TV from my phone (handy when the kids misplace my remote). Heck, I can turn _off_ the TV from the other side of the house.

Overall, seems like the best tradeoff to me.
