The best greens I've had come from a vertical farm. Its too bad - I otherwise think its a wasteful, inefficient technology. I suspect the high quality didnt really have much to do with the vertical-ness of the farm though, and could likely be reproduced in a more traditional greenhouse (with some supplemental lighting during the shorter days).
It also goes the other way. Antibiotics, which have likely saved more lives than any discovery - ever, were developed less than 100 years ago, by accident. A guy accidentally left his bacterial cultures exposed on a holiday. He came back and noticed one had grown a type of fungus that was repulsing the bacteria. That fungus was penicillium.

In another fun example, the idea of using microwaves to heat things up was also discovered completely accidentally. A [self taught] engineer working on an active-radar system noticed the system he was working on was melting a Hershey's Mr. Goodbar in his pocket. He then used it on a few other foods to confirm, and the microwave oven was born.

I think one of the biggest benefits of colonizing Mars will be things we can't even imagine. We'll find all sorts of great new ways to kill and maim ourselves, but we'll also discover plenty of new amazing tools we can use to do awesome things with. Over time the former will be mitigated and the latter exploited. Colonizing, as always, will be a game for those who are willing to accept a few decades being lopped off their average life expectancy in exchange for making way for a greater life for those to come.
Yea, that makes a lot of sense if you ignore literally every other Tesla, Musk, or Twitter post on the front page every day.
Sure, the universe seems infinite enough both in time and space. Assuming that laws of statistics hold, there should be other areas where there's optimum for life as we know it to develop - even if we won't get to meet it because we miss it by a few millions or billions of years.
The 13th amendment talks about "slavery or involuntary servitude"; the prisoner exception mostly refers to "involuntary servitude" – certainly in modern context. Plus, certainly in US context (and this guy does seem to be from the US) "slavery" strongly implies "racial based slavery". That's not the only form of slavery, but that's the strong connotation it has in the US for obvious reasons. His exact views are unclear, and at best he is careless in how he expresses his views.

Either way, I'm not especially interested in discussing his views in great detail; I was mostly replying to "I don't like this person, so I'm okay with him being a victim", which I take exception to.

Wikipedia: Wage theft is the failing to pay wages or provide employee benefits owed to an employee by contract or law.

You have defended taxation, not wage theft.
Reminds me of some of the ideas from the book Red Mars by Kim Stanley Robinson. I can recommend it if you're interested.

Wait this is really cool. How do you parse and optimize SQL?
Apple/Chrome ones don’t help setting up 2-factor codes/etc. Ie, you don’t want the second factor to be SMS.

They’ve decided passkeys are the way to go so they don’t support TOTP or that stuff natively.

1Password handles TOTP quite well.
New year, new targets… I usually use this period of the year to do a quick retrospective about the last year and to define some goals for the new year ahead. Why do I do this? Is to give a purpose for each year.
If that is the case, then any business deal conducted over essentially any communication network would be interstate, which makes no sense at all
We've already collectively decided the past few years it is perfectly okay to allow workers and visitors into nursing/retirement-homes unvaccinated and unmasked and sometimes even known sick because they aren't going to change their lives in the slightest for anyone else.

Locations have had massive wipeouts of residents, nothing changes, people want it this way is the only logical conclusion.
Nah. They never say that. Ever. At best they say cut the crap and help me get done what *I* need to do.

The point is, tech for the sake of tech is the wrong target. And once you go down that road you're already lowing your odds of having satisfied users.
I sometimes tend to forget that you can use decentralization without using all these crypto stuff.
What is the copyright status of these models?
Nothing that'll move the ground, I'm sure. I'm about 15 years behind on Python - learning it to extend Ansible.

There are quite a few modules I'd like to see... and smarter bridges for inventory management
This is why I went back to hotels. Airbnb is a scummy company and can’t seem to survive without out of control “gotcha” fees added by either itself or its hosts which now make many hotels cheaper. I also am not obligated to do work for the host with a hotel. Some of the hosts have become super entitled over the years due to Airbnbs policies. It’s a shame as using Airbnb was an excellent experience when it first began but that obviously was on borrowed time much like the rest of the gig economy.

Because, it is not your review. What happens is that you are asking Airbnb’s permission to post a comment and they give you the right to send comment. Blockchain fixes this.
An interesting analogy that comes to mind is the electronic technologies that have tried to supplant silicon. I remember, perhaps as long as 40 years ago, reading that gallium arsenide could make faster transistors than silicon, and that we would soon have GaAs computers. Similar for other things like optical computing.

But every time GaAs cleared another hurdle, silicon also moved forward, kind of like the tortoise and the hare. There are certainly uses for GaAs, such as microwave amplifiers, but no GaAs computers yet that I'm aware of.
Yes that's cool and all, but if a company is in California today it still needs to comply with the current legislation.
I've recently realized that my mind is made up of multiple unconscious minds that work together in hierarchies with various priorities. These minds are constantly sending conflicting decisions to my conscious mind in an effort to help me survive and reproduce. It can be frustrating because occasionally I want to be productive, but other times I just want to relax and watch TV. I've found that the best way to manage this is to acknowledge and give voice to all of these unconscious minds, rather than ignoring or suppressing them. Creating a schedule that aligns with my different priorities and capabilities can help me to balance the conflicting desires of my unconscious minds.

AFAIK Buddishm offers another way and promises that eventually these minds simply disappear, but it essentially means that the sense of "me" vanishes. It's very difficult to achieve it, though.
I think he is more of a tech influencer than a crypto influencer, in Silicon Valley networks plus on online platforms.

He backs up and advises crypto startups, AI startups, no-code startups, biotech startups... He does it while wearing his hat of a venture capitalist. Not a blockchain expert, developer or academic. He is in the tech game for fast company growth and high returns on investments.

As a disclosure, I must that I check his videos about company/brand building, targetted at online startups. For technical knoweldge about blockchains, I maintain other sources of info (Github, online forums, Twitter). For financial knoweledge related to blockchain, I consult different sources, mainly established economists, Arvix papers, retired traders or fintech books.
> learning and using this stuff every day

Anecdotal evidence isn't evidence, it's anecdote. You're basing this all off what people are saying works for them. There's a strong possibility that having learned this gives them extra confidence/trying harder, which in tern leads them to improvements. It's like taking sugar pills telling someone it's amphetamine.

It was never in my memory to begin with – since I've never used it. I don't use Windows a lot, just for games and occasionally at work. I went from 7 to 10.
Seems like thesis, antithesis, synthesis.

Thesis: too many taxis result in badservice
Antithesis: too many restrictions also result in bad service
Synthesis: breaking some of the laws results in better service

Now we talk about regulating the gig economy, a horrible thing mostly brought by Uber and airbnb: let's see where it leads us.
It seems like every few weeks I see posts on HN criticizing Windows about privacy and it’s inconsistent UI. It’s getting a little old.

It’s trivial to use Group Policy Editor to disable windows “spyware” as HNers like to call it.

As far as the “inconsistent” UI goes, it’s funny to me how no one talks about Linux and it’s inconsistencies which are much more significant.

Windows is an OS a tool to get things done. My customers could care less about any of these things. Articles like these are interesting but pedantic.
Immediate red flag that makes me wonder what else the company might be clueless about...

Résumé/CV: https://epofallon.com/assets/Eugene_O'Fallon_Resume.pdf

Hello! I'm a full-stack software engineer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Recently, I developed Bard (https://bard-rr.com/), an open-source session replay tool that enables the viewing and analysis of user sessions.
I wonder if the finite growth rate of the light-cone disarms the repugnant conclusion, by limiting the bound on population size that you can trade up to.
100% agree.

But if we take zoning seriously when it comes to new apartments then we should take it seriously when it comes to Airbnb.
I don't get it do you want to be the biggest but only biomass left on the planet just to own the libs?
> Having a self-sustaining living space is by far the biggest problem (one where all of the waste we produce can be reused to create new drinkable water, air and food, and to reliably continue to do so between Mars launch windows).

That problem gets a lot easier and cheaper when you don't have to design for margins of 1.2 to or so to save on weight. When you can throw extra weight at a problem to overbuild it for reliability you can solve these problems cheaper and more reliably.

> The second biggest is probably avoiding contamination of Mars, if we actually care about exploring one of the biggest mysteries of life - has it arisen only on Earth? Are there other modes of life possible, and what do they look like?

Planetary Protection is the new version of treating Earth as "gaia". It's a form of regressive environmentalism. This is not an important goal. Mars is not a very good candidate for supporting life now that we know how many geothermally active ice moons with undersea oceans exist in our solar system.

If hypothetical life on Mars is similar to life on Earth then it's not that valuable of a thing to learn and anything found would vary drastically from life on Earth from billions of years of separate evolution. If it's very different from life on Earth then it will still be easy to find even with plentiful human contamination.

Finally, with additional mass you can bring substantially heavier and more complex analysis and remote robotic equipment with you. (Or on a completely separate mission before humans arrive.)

> The third biggest challenge is human psychology and physiology - could we actually get a group of ~100 people or however many we need initially to live and be productive for the years-long space mission (including travel time to and from)? What do we do when at least one of them inevitably gets sick on Mars?

This is overrated given that there's plentiful human experience throughout the history of humanity where humans suffered significantly worse isolation and hardship. Some projects will fail from human psychological issues, and the risk from them should be minimized (bring plants along, allow spaces for people to self-isolate, etc) but a single failure should not be taken as a reason that the entire concept is doomed. For sickness, you try to minimize possible issues by bringing significant medication and medical equipment, but sometimes there will be inevitable deaths. As mentioned, having additional mass that you can bring for human comforts and medical equipment saves a lot of potential deaths and issues
Chrome is also one of the most secure options. Google has a well deserved reputation for incredibly strong security.
> Only, I don't use ints as "flags," so you're doing it wrong. And you're using the slippery slope fallacy, assuming that I'm a DRY absolutist. I'm not.

You might not "use ints as flags" but a lot of maintenance programmers who know nothing about your idea, have never seen the code before, don't know how the application works or even what it does, will do just that.
I think the mistake is to consider "human" something separate from the rest of the world as opposed to a more holistic point of view.

The fact that we have a somewhat complicated mind capable of abstract thinking doesn't mean we're anything more than bacteria on the grander scale.

The fact that our species has developed all over Earth and became its self-appointed "stewards" doesn't mean that a well-placed asteroid can't turn our "stewardship" into a futile battle for survival.
> Carbon for example is by design an evolutionary dead-end designed to solve some problems for Google.

I would concur.

This shows actually nicely that the analogy to biological evolution matches well.

Google is building some kind of cave fish. Biology did also such things when they were right for a given ecosystem niche.

Static analysis I strongly associate with wasting my time.

Valgrind on the other hand, I struggle to imagine writing working C++ without it.
Ah, sorry, I thought they were angling at the "taxation is theft" libertarian thing. Was not aware of this separate and unfortunate phenomenon.
Did anybody else click this thinking it was going to be about the Omni group of applications? lol
Is it possible to build proper noise insulation, which makes the house as quiet as the a house in a quiet neignorhood, to a newly built, modern apartment house?

I think it is, but construction companies are trying to savd a few cents, and they don't add proper noise insulation.
That sounds like the kind of thing that should be studied and not just pronounced in an HN comment. Just to repeat: the linked article looked at exactly this measurement and found the opposite effect (health benefits from lower electrolyte concentrations), albeit at a different end of the concentration spectrum.

That doesn't mean that you're wrong about a bathtub curve effect at very high hydration levels, but it means you have more work to do here.

Mostly: I don't buy it. My gut says that you're wrong and that at all but the most unreasonable levels of water intake we're healthier being hydrated.

LTT needs to make a video either way. If he sets up home automation at his house or an artificial studio demo the same money is spent and not ending up going toward Canadian schools.

In terms of the deduction, I doubt he’s committing actual tax fraud if for no other reason than he’s so public a figure.

Right. I tend to think you should just be aware of it, be deliberate in choosing where to situate your code on it, and be adept at refactoring code up the scale.
Truth Social (https://www.truthsocial.com/) | Engineering Roles | Sarasota, Florida USA or REMOTE (ONSITE preferred for some roles)

We are a social media company dedicated to delivering users an engaging and censorship-free experience. We believe users should be able to freely express themselves and engage with a rich diversity of viewpoints on a progressive, accessible platform. If you are interested in joining a company that is fast-paced, rapidly growing, and committed to free speech, please get in touch.

Our first product is Truth Social, a social media application which launched on 20 February to become #1 in the Apple App Store. We are expanding to other platforms (Web launched, Android native coming soon) and adding functionality, plus working on follow-on products (SVOD, Infrastructure). Our second product, TMTG+, is a Streaming Video on Demand (SVOD) service which provides content users want, without pushing a political agenda. Our product is currently available in the US, Canada, the UK, and a few others, and is expanding throughout the world over the upcoming months.

We're looking for a variety of roles in engineering for these products. Our current team is small and technically excellent, making extensive use of open source software and operating our own infrastructure to remain independent of third party control. We are particularly interested in hiring people from the established social media giants and large SAAS applications who were directly involved in creating software and infrastructure for scaling to hundreds of millions of users and beyond, and who want to do it again in an environment which values freedom of speech and expression.

One system we're particularly proud of is an internally-developed ML moderation system which flags policies in violation of ToS and assists human moderators in keeping the site in compliance with our terms of service while respecting free speech. We are working on open sourcing elements of these tools.

We recently deployed direct messaging for users and are working on security and privacy improvements, as well as other expansions of the core Truth Social product. Some of these tools will be released as open source.

For more information, please contact us at https://careers.tmtgcorp.com/
You’re probably thinking of Skyactiv-X [1] which is kind of hybrid between a normal spark ignition and compression ignition. It’s been in the 3 in Europe for a couple years but never came to the US. I’ve heard it’s a combination of cost and not-great horsepower, plus it runs louder. Basically for a lot more cost you get something inferior to hybrid in a lot of ways.

It has been in use as a slur in since the 1920's at least.
It must have something to do with art, named after an artist and all.

Kdenlive looks a bit worse IMO. Maybe it is the name of a twitch-stream for someone with “creative name” parent.

“Hey this is Kden, I’m here with my best bros Ayighden and Reighleigh, and you’re watching KdenLive.”

(But I mean we’re used to bad open source names and it isn’t like they have a marketing department, so no big deal, haha).
Nothing. Either something follows the scientific method, or it does not. Pre-scientific is a fancy way of saying "we have no evidence for this". Bear in mind, this field is decades old, and has been subjected already to scientific study. All of which have debunked it.

In the typical style of SCAMS (supplemental, complementary, and alternative medicines), this line really just means they're waiting for the one study to validate them in the face of countless studies that have not.
