>"Whereas my plant takes half a decade to establish, then produces $10 of fruit in a good year."

I would be interested in hearing more detail about the economics of the $10. Is this price you get from selling your grapes to someone else or is the net from selling the wine that you produce from your plants?
Exercise is also counterproductive for weight loss since it makes you hungrier, which makes people not compliant with their diets.
3 years after going EOL, and 14 years after the release of Python 3. Good riddance at long last.
Ask HN: How do you define a “site license”?
1 instance at a location or 100. 1 location or 50 different locations, all part of the same company. How exactly do you define a "site license"?
I am interested by the gender split of viewership here, and wonder how heavily the various factors of intrinsic gender differences in interest, societal perceptions of Lego as a boy's toy, and confounding factors ("Dad set up the YouTube account that child Emily is watching from", Mom has less leisure time) contribute to each of these. I also note that the themes of the most popular videos ("BIG vortex", "tank" "car") are often associated more with traditionally masculine than feminine themes, perhaps making it hard to pull any Lego-specific insights from this.

Certainly my nieces are no less interested in Lego than my nephews, and growing up my sisters weren't less interested than my brothers (although there did seem to be a difference in focus in construction vs Sims-like play).
All this stopped not because of any class action, but one company Meta will not play along with the cabal. Zuck raised the salary so much he started poaching left and right from other tech giants. Google and Apple had no choice but to match the salaries to retain and hire top talent. For all the fault of Meta, they knew the worth of employees and have always tried to give them a good bargain.
> It's hard to think of any civilizations that relied on mostly rainwater, but maybe I haven't heard of any.

I think that the Maya mainly relied on capturing rainwater for their water needs. I assume this would have included drinking water.

Now that was funny. (Google Chrome was release in 2008 BTW. 3 years later.)
The line from Sergey about Eric Schmidt made me smile. It's his "OK boomer" moment.
I’m not disagreeing that a lot more should be done on the supply side but the suggestion of it needing to double comes across as the additional demand equaling 1 home per immigrant which is simply not the case. I would like to see the hard numbers but I would expect a significant proportion to be 2+ families.
Makes sense that AWS would recommend these stacks (they are probably compliant with their Well Architected Framework), though the idea is to recommend something that can scale de facto infinitely with minimal SMEs required to run it all.

I agree that aiming for the simplest service your team can maintain is the best approach, scaling up as needed.
There’s quite a few videos on YouTube sharing that info about their channel. It’s also frequently shared in various YouTube creator/business communities.

To be honest, I would support some form of UBI, but I think there are many more modest reforms we can talk about before we get there.

> But you are still implying some cost to the rest of society to support creatives in their cups. And I am saying that many people who are working don’t like that.

You’re inferring this, but I’m not implying it. Let me try to be a little clearer:

Public services do not necessarily cost taxpayers more than the alternatives. Again, with healthcare we have a concrete example of privatized systems costing more and delivering worse outcomes than universal public ones. Many people who are working might prefer the former so they don’t have to subsidize others, but ultimately they themselves receive worse care (on average) as a result of this; they are cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

Relatedly, a significant amount of US taxpayer money subsidizes the business ventures of billionaires like Elon Musk. There are plenty of other examples, like the almost eight trillion USD we give to the military every decade. This doesn’t directly address your point, but I do wonder why we only start talking about these tradeoffs when it’s the poorest receiving subsidies from the government, rather than the most powerful.
If you've ever watched LTT, you'll know that his business is anything but passive. They own buildings, have employees, HR departments, R&D, and all that stuff. This sort of approach is probably not too different, except in scale, to huge media companies.
You misunderstand how weight loss works; it's controlled by the HPA axis and various related brain/gut/pancreas/liver/fat cell interconnects, not the neocortex. "Stop eating" is an input from the neocortex. It has very, very little impact on food drive. "Satiation/Nausia" is an input from primary metabolic regulatory systems.

People that are 'only a little bit overweight' are usually in that state because they can't control their eating via the neocortex. You can't simply say "eat a little better"; you have to modify food drive. The signaling pathway this drug targets is the one that feed into food drive.
> It’s a bit of an anti-social practice, to be honest

Isn't so-called "hot" linking an intended and useful feature of the web? Linking to something directly so that you don't need to copy it to a new server and pollute the URL space with duplicate objects?

Maybe someone can invent a way of caching or replicating web content so it doesn't overload the original server and its internet connection. There might even be a business opportunity, "Caching Distribution Nodes" or something....

> There are many CDNs, and using resources served from them is not a bad thing. That’s not what I’m talking about

I see.

That being said, I like the idea of hierarchical URLs that could address anything on a web page, including items that are linked from elsewhere. Maybe something like:

https://example.org/page.html/resourcename.ext

Then you could easily reference a page where the original item is located, and browsers could easily go there.
If all the buildings in your neighborhood turn into apartment buildings, you're a dense urban area now.
Another alternative is the government funding this research and/or buying the drug directly. This is what was done for the government ordering 30 billion dollars worth of covid vaccines from moderna, pfizer, and j&j.
Fact #1: It's so easy to produce large quantities of good quality cannabis if you know what you're doing. Just need sunshine, water, soil, and fertilizer, no need to spend much money at all.

Fact #2: The thing that made cannabis expensive was it's illegality. The difficulty in growing cannabis was that it had to be done in secret, and you could go to jail if you got caught.

Now if you put these facts together, you realize that legalization means there's no more justification for ridiculous prices on a plant that's easy to grow. The only winners in the "green rush" are the established dispensaries, and the prices will continue to drop as more states legalize marijuana.

The major black market producers are against legalization because they know it destroys their profits. An odd case where cops, criminals and pharmaceutical companies all share a common goal.
There are regulations around not having these conversations.
> Adderall increases the level of serotonin in your body, which can cause your appetite to decrease, leading to weight loss. This can be a good thing if you are trying to lose weight, but it can also cause stomach pain.
There’s very little passive about running a YouTube channel, and if you stop publishing then traffic to your existing videos will start to drop off over time.
Finally a rail project I can get behind, instead of the usual that want to make trips take longer than before.
I feel like a few things were skipped in between network and operators (for US at least.) There are a lot of middlemen in the distribution of off-premise ATMs. The banks, networks, processors, sponsor banks, ISO's, distributors, operators, merchants, etc. It's actually much more complicated because it gets kind of like an MLM scheme when distributors can have infinitely nested "sub"-distributors so, as an operator, you may be many more steps away from things than you realize.

Generally, ISO have bank sponsors. They can operate ATMs. More often, they service distributors. Distributors are typically local businesses serving a market; they may operate ATMs. They also can just sell the ATM and the merchant can operate it. The ISO and sponsor banks typically is where the processing agreement/negotiations is actually happening. The ISO is typically the highest level anyone will ever interact with on the downstream side (it's the top of the pyramid in the MLM example). Everyone down stream gets a payment portal specific to their function. An operator can be anyone, they service the machine and keep it stocked with inventory (cash) and typically keep the surcharge (less than 100% is a bad deal, renegotiate.)

What's interesting is the ISO gets its hands on some interchange. Then it gets passed around as negotiated. Most people in the industry don't talk about this, but it's usually their revenue since the operator is getting the surcharge. But, even as an operator of a single ATM, you can ask for a cut of the interchange pie. Like all things, it varies but with volume you have leverage to negotiate a bigger slice.

It's similar to how as a consumer there are no line items for you to see, but there is interchange when you make a credit transactions. You bank is being paid by the merchant's bank to facilitate the transaction. If your card/bank chooses, they can share that interchange with you. It's purely marketing as to whether they will or not (it's a product feature).

It's possible as a merchant operator your transaction economics would look like:

Cash Reimbursement + 100% Surcharge + Cut of Interchange (amount varies, but I was averaging ~$0.50 per transaction)

> Note that the settlement of these deals is necessarily much slower than the transaction itself is. The ATM network will often be paid the following business day by your bank, but the ATM operator will probably be paid several days later by the ATM network, using an ACH transfer (in the US) or similar frequently slow rails.

ATM operators should be getting the money quickly. It works next-day on the schedule of the ACH system. IIRC the cutoff is 4pm ET and it's next business day. Any operator not getting this is probably stuck on some 25+ year old agreement and probably should switch providers; renegotiate at a minimum if it's even worth the hassle.
What would be great is a system like this, but with reference counting instead. If that existed, I’d immediately jump ship.
Marc Andreessen is one of the greatest scammers of our generation as this video goes to show.
Housing prices are more complex than that, but it’s inarguable that more houses on the market means cheaper prices.

The book’s idea will carry us for many years but the book is introductory nonetheless. A few years of rigorous CS education definitely calls for deeper materials, but I wouldn’t call the book “overrated”, at least not for novice engineers.

it's not like you can drop off a bag full of cash with a note that says "we swears it is $10,000" without some human employee counting it. even with counting machines, they still have to sort it (unless I'm so out of the cash counting game that the counters can sort for you).

besides, you just wouldn't respect them in the morning if they did NOT take some money from you, would you?
I’m finally learning how to think in triangles. After that, maybe shaders.
Where I am, we don't pay anything for balance enquiry/withdrawals from own-bank ATMs and also from ATMs within their network (subject to some conditions like max no. of transactions etc). We also don't pay for transfer across own-bank accounts AND local interbank (unless it is a very big amount in which case it can go through other means which depending on their nature may or may not incur fees).
In the UK at least, afaik the Consumer Credit Act applies to Credit Card purchases.

IANAL etc.
Is there still a point to this now that .NET 7 has NativeAOT and self contained EXEs? does this just give native trimming? Lack of macOS support seems like a non starter for a lot of cross platform cli tooling.

Regular .NET can’t do AOT for asp.net core. Can bflat? If so, that would be really helpful for example for lambdas. The cold start time is quite poor without AOT.

I think at this point https://flattened.net/ is a better introduction to bflat than the repo. The repo also links to it, but wanted to highlight it.

It's pretty amazing to me that one of the richest people on the planet (at the time anyway) and arguably one of the most successful tech people ever (Sergey Brin) not only did not see anything wrong with putting all of this illegal stuff down in writing, but he's actually unable to use proper capitalization.
I suspect the fines exceed the salaries the employees were 'owed' but are much less than the profits earned from those employees, yes.
To sun it up from the NYTimes article posted below, Oklahoma does in fact have legal medical marijuana. In addition it apparently has pretty lax regulations compared to other states on growing. Basically little limit on how many farms are allowed, how much they can grow, etc. And apparently pretty low startup costs (I assume license fees and all that are low).
Just a name for the effects of temperature and time. Heavy use contributes, but is mostly accounted for under the 'cycle count at high charge/discharge rate' heading.

It's very hard to wear a new LFP battery with a controller that keeps it in the 20-80% range out now unless you cycle it several times a day or use it in harsh conditions.

We'll probably start seeing manufacturers cost cut and increase cycle depth or decrease cooling.

Genealogy is a network, so on a related note: I was reading the article and found a couple of the names interesting and distinctive, and did a cursory search — all of the victims have active social media accounts that are still publicly available for anyone to peer into. Ghoulish. If I was a parent I wouldn't even know where to begin with drawing the curtains over my late children's lives. Unless they wanted to leave some kind of living testament?

As an industry, we're not thinking about things like this, because we don't like difficult, nuanced questions.
Aim? Eventual consequence, yes, most likely, but only as a secondary effect. Eric and co., down to the Maps leadership, were on the receiving end of similar outbursts pretty regularly. It wasn't just about hiring. Sometimes it was about patents, like the pinch to zoom one, which actually existed only in Jobs' fantastic tales. Sometimes it was about YouTube. Sometimes it was about Maps features that he wanted Google to implement (and then attempt to patent for himself). Or it was about Android, which eventually became the straw that broke the camel's back: he threatened war in these 2005 mails and did follow through with the iPhone patent battles. Pretty much everything was a zero sum game, in his book. As someone (RIP) said, dealing with him was like dealing with Khrushchev, minus the shoes.

Anyway, most of the above have little to do directly with wages and a lot to do with pride, bullying, control and/or things that smell a lot like narcissistic injuries (see also former presidents and current tech CEOs prone to meltdowns). I'm not a psychologist or play one, though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Eric and co. simply appeased him way too often. They did push back and occasionally even troll him (like the night before the Nexus One launch), but nowhere enough. If only they had penned a reply like Palm's.
I think it's more that most current employment is awful - you're either doing something useful and paid peanuts or a cog in the machine making the (you're the product) type products. There's terribly few jobs available that are ethical, useful, and well compensated.

People aren't unwilling to do a hard days work, they're unwilling to do it for less than a living wage, which is the current offer for a lot of people right now, especially young people.

And to your first sentence _YES_, society should of course be set so that people can achieve their dreams as much as possible! That's the point! I understand that doing this via wealth redistribution is touchy but you're acting like wanting things to be easier is a stupid goal in general.
There have been a bunch of HN threads about this over the years but I haven't found them. If anyone wants to look, we can make a list!

Hi, I am Daniel Vainsencher, ML PhD and practitioner. You want to use AI to solve a business or technical problem, have data and a team, but no senior research staff.

I can, on a consulting/contracting basis:

1. Translate your problem and context into well defined prediction and decision problems, connecting performance to the bottom line.

2. Plan out, chunk, and help implement solutions to prediction and decision problems via existing (and if needed, new) ML and optimization software.

3. Support your engineer/research staff in applying ML and connecting it to business goals, via ideas, coaching and troubleshooting.

Have years of experience building software systems, leading dev teams, developing algorithms, publishing state of the art ML/optimization research, and applying them to challenging problems. I've worked/done applied research in domains of entertainment, algorithmic trading, video processing, face recognition, signal processing, demand forecasting and more.

Tech: Python, Julia, Rust, git and others.

There's a lot we don't know, but from what I gather microbiome tends somewhat towards homeostasis such that you tend to eat in a way that maintains the current status quo. Among other things, this is linked to things like whether or not you are at risk for obesity.

>One of the difficulties with these training datasets is the currently understood rules around web scraping. The current legal precedent [0] is that web scraping is perfectly legal, despite what is in the websites terms of service, "licence" or robots.txt. If a human can navigate to it freely, you can scrape it using automated means.

So... the HN crowd seems perfect to ask, since everyone's always clamoring for a Goodreads alternative: where is the line between "data" and "content" (on public pages)? AFAICT, Goodreads has been entrenched for so long because their ToS doesn't allow anyone else to use their book/reviews data, which makes quite a large moat. This comment would make me think it's legal to scrape that moat.
