No, though that was the case pre-1934 [1]. Remember that Hawaii, where his father is from, didn't become a state until 1959 and there are physical residence/presence tests required to pass on citizenship[2]; ex:

"A U.S. citizen may have automatically acquired U.S. citizenship based on birth in the United States, but never actually resided in the United States. This U.S. citizen will not have established residence in the United States, and may be unable to transmit U.S. citizenship to his or her own children."

The life of a peasant was one of serfdom, watching too many of your children die before their 4th birthday. The wheat you grew you had to mill in a landlord's mill and they collected a tax from it. There was no light in the evenings because tallow or other wax was far too expensive so when it got dark there were limited things to do. Floors were covered in rushes instead of carpet and were host to bugs. True medicine was not there, surgery unheard of for the peasant class.

The days "free from labour" weren't really free from labour, those "free" days are days spent doing menial boring work that we have industrialised away. days spent butchering animals, repairing clothes and tools, teasing wool.

You'd be lucky to own more than 2 sets of clothes. Work was backbreaking and if you couldn't work, you were a pauper.

Yeah, if you only look at the "good" (only 150 "work" days a year!) and ignore the bad (all of the above), yeah it sounds great. The reality was not so rosy.

For my ancestors, it would undoubtedly have been fucking awful. They'd have loved to this in this world we now have.
More simply you could just ask to brainstorm 5 things the issue might be.
If you do and you're my neighbor please wait with switching it on until I can move away.
“local lottery winner says, just buy a ticket! its that easy!”.

All jokes aside, many people struggle with charisma and keeping the conversation going. I have grown to be more charismatic with age, largely due to a mix of assertiveness training and having internal rules to keep the conversation flowing.

If you can paper over the awkwardness of transitioning from an answer to one question to asking another question, and you are genuinely inquisitive so as to make a whole conversation from an answer, then these kinds of questions are a fantastic crutch.

Other conversational crutches like the “FORD model” (Family, Occupation, Recreation and Dreams) can help in the event of a stalled conversation.
I watched the relevant parts of the video before I originally replied. That Youtuber is comparing apples to oranges, which makes it look surprising but it's not. I don't know if he knowingly does that, but such glaring misuse of statistics would make me very cautious of his other "wisdom" as well.

To understand why, you need to be aware of the protein contents of the mentioned foods.

Chicken has ~27g protein/100g

Bread ~9g protein/100g

Tomato ~1g protein/100g

Tomato is basically not a protein source and it is an energy intensive fruit as well. Bread is better, but it's not where you would usually get your protein from and most of the "oil use" comes from actually baking the bread which is the energy intensive step. That's problematic in and of itself as there is such a huge variability in the energy mixes of different countries that you can't claim this as a universally correct number. A further question I have is whether the chicken is in its cooked or its raw form? Since the bread is in its cooked form, I would expect the chicken is as well?

Anyway lets go back to the statistics I posted earlier, where common sources of protein are compared.

Peanuts (groundnuts) has ~24g protein/100g

Beans/chickpeas (other pulses) ~21g/100g

Peas ~4g/100g

Now look at their CO2eq. The conclusion is that the energy use of plant-based sources is lower, for reasons I and the other commenter have already explained. One caveat though is that most plant-based sources aren't full protein sources, so the actual numbers will turn out to be slightly higher in a well-rounded diet.
Note that 65% of global stock value does not mean 65% of global value. The US has a much higher number of public companies. That doesn't mean that they are better.

That’s actually a good hypothesis. But apparently the count is sometimes off by more than one.

Ask HN: Do You Have Suggestions About Call-to-Action?
I'm doing research on Call-To-Action. I will compile and share what I have learned on my blog, but I wonder what people know about it, and what they recommend.

Can you comment if you have any resources or recommendations you recommend with Call-To-Action?

Thank you.
Thanks, it's okay that the comment order shifts around. It's intended, so the most interesting aspects rise up.
On their latest handsets?
I mean sure. a "tab" that you've hibernated in the background (on browsers that support it) is just a bookmark as well, realistically speaking.

Also they were tabs at one point.

Except I can hit restore all...
Question is, is it moral to work on that kind of game? You're describing the predatory IAP fests.

Edit: although I suppose it's equivalent to working on "engagement" algorithms in social networking.
This is indeed a problem, and one of the reasons to be careful about knowing you can fit things in one machine before taking that approach, because the moment you're forced to move to a distributed model it's rarely one machine to two but one machine to a dozen coupled with a major rearchitecturing effort at just the wrong moment.

It's often fine to start without a fully decoupled system (net present value of the time and money needed to scale out might be far too high), but you need to know whether or not it's likely to come and what to look for so you can start preparing in time.
IMhO, experimental OSes greatly benefits from supporting _some_ way of running _some_ Linux binaries - it solves the bootstrap problem and makes it so much easier to explore the system.

OT: I always felt the synchronous system call model is very dated. All high performance systems I know of (say, GPUs, NVMe, NFSv4, etc) all use a similar async command list model. Each exchange package up as much as possible and more work is done per context switch. Instead in Linux we just get an ever growing list of compound system calls (like pwritev, pwrite64, renameat). There's some hope with io_uring and ebpf, but it really should just be general mechanism. There's no need for a context switch outside of exceptions (like page fault) or blocking on completions for commands.
It's a private CBDC, so a private CBDC couldn't collect on property tax. Anyway, I'm considering only dead-simple ways to fund the UBI, which means tapping in to all money across the system continuously, evenly.
In some areas a "community" culture¹ of "you shall behave - you will behave" has declined into a sort of anarchy of "everything passes"; once you were corrected, and now you are no more; once people would stand and say "wrong behaviour" directly, today such framework is greatly weakened, which causes all kind of deviations.

Such weakening encourages abuse and exploitation.

¹Note that said community culture was not restricted to small communities: it was present in metropolis of millions. And it is related to a vaster area of consequences of the "weakening of the "low-culture" (i.e. "the teacher and neighbour" as opposed to "the professor and professional") presence".
Most of these tabs are "Oh these are interesting, I'll save it and read it later this evening by restoring them."

Repeat next morning.

...the restoring part doesn't happen.
Its a product of education. To hack, gamble any system is the most productive of works,and thus self-optimization of intelligentsia always must end in a scam orgy. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma) Basically there is a point, at which to not scam is stupid.

Which results in a "rodeo" uprising against the parasitic scam culture by the lower tiers of society, against the useless elites which has taken over the institutions and societyorgans.
In these purges usually violent antisemitism is involved and a "anti"-education stance expressed. Society eats itself. Democracy was a attempt to pacify these purges, but its in the nature of elites to hack the process, which would get rid of them or force them back into productivity.

After the "purge" usually a large war or famine starts and the state reconstitutes itself, promising to do better, and the whole cycle begins again.

The usual useful "progress" happen in the war/reconstitution phase, when the elites are still productive, instead of engaging in the gambling/hacking competition and the memory of the purges is still fresh.
What exactly is Vulkan video? I don't seem to get why it's special.

My mpv already plays AV1 encoded videos via Vulkan on my Ryzen 2400G APU.
We CD to dev, and cut releases to prod. Do both using ArgoCD.

Sounds great fun even for couples, where’s the repo!
I try to rely on sources I trust.

But it can be difficult when a new owner buys a good media and transform it to make more profits. LesNumériques (French) was a good source and is not trustworthy anymore. Tek.no (Norwegian) may be alright on average, even though the owner is so-so.

I also stopped to use Google Search. It is a completely useless search engine for this usage. I prefer DuckDuckGo/Bing and I usually append "reddit" to my searches. It’s still a lot of astroturfing on Reddit though. Some is obvious but it’s not perfect.

I never trust online user reviews. For example for restaurants I prefer to look at the guide Michelin than fake reviews. Online reviews can still show when a restaurant is likely bad but it’s not a good indication of a restaurant worth a trip.

I also ask friends.
Easily cracked might be true for those using words with a couple numbers thrown in between. Yes there are a vast number of people who are not exactly savvy when they use and create passwords. It's one of the reasons why some honeypot sites were set up primarily to catch people who use the same password and email at every site they visit.
The problem with Apple has always been about relinquishing control to the user - they have a tunnel vision about finding an "Apple way" of doing something, sticking with it obstinately and not caring about power-users.
This is a feature of gmail. They’re not going to change it. I assume your gmail address is similar to many other people’s addresses so you’re receiving typos or mis-transcriptions. There’s not much you can do about it other than create filters to automatically delete emails from senders you don’t want.
Weird Laptops are Coming – CES 2023
"Study finds out that water is wet"

Jokes aside, I always found the touchscreen to be annoying to use in specific conditions:

1. I have to watch the touchscreen to find the button, with physical button I can just feel where the button is while watching the road

2. On bumpy roads touchscreen is almost unusable, it is so hard to press on the right point that I'm forced to use voice commands
I've certainly had that before, too. "You have no idea how much corporate crap I shield you from." "OK so... tell me?" "Just be grateful."

No I will not.
I think this is the key point.

Asking how you can get into gamedev is kinda like asking how can you be a professional musician. Sure, you need to know and like music as a base, but becoming a concert pianist, a jazz drummer, a metal guitarist or a hip hop mc are very different paths.

Similarly, there’s a big difference between working on Elden Ring vs a small indie or even one of the millions of match 3 mobile games.
YMMV, but thats why i love Forth. it compiles the full app (not interpret) in ms. some think its dead or only for the embedded, but for me and my projects its a deadly combination + ultra fun.
That's a paradox.

It didn’t lie, it got it wrong. That’s a very big difference.
Why not do both? Use rsync to do a one way sync by keeping a filter list to the paperless consume directory so whenever you drop any new documents to your original folder structures, it copies THAT to the consume and paperless consumes it?
Multi cam works surprisingly well in green forests.

“urged people to saddle up like they do in The Netherlands.”

Oh yeah it’s completely my fault for being lazy and not cycling everywhere in my city where that’s totally infeasible.
It's an interesting idea to write the app based on the tests instead of writing the test by the app. I don't think it will be very healthy for the overall application, but it's worth a try. Testing with real dependencies without using mock seems better overall, but this brings with it quite a few problems.
That means I need to add a new filter every week (sometimes multiple ones a day when someone decides to go on a shopping spree).
>If a company is sustainably making a profit (i.e. makes more money than it needs to spend to keep running) and will continue to for the foreseeable future, why do they need to grow their revenue even higher? [...], but there's no reason that a company already making a profit can't just start paying dividends regularly without needing to ever grow any larger.

Your comment is common but it implicitly assumes a stable steady-state in the business landscape. (E.g. phrases such as "profit _will_ continue to for the foreseeable future,")

That type of thinking can work for local businesses (isolated from global competition) such as a small family restaurant. The owner opens a new restaurant with 10 tables and then maybe the business modestly grows to 15 tables a few years later and then stops growing. The owner is able to maintain a steady-state business of repeat patrons at the restaurant for decades with predictable profits. Another example of somewhat predictable profits on a larger scale are legacy oligopoly/monopoly businesses such as railroad companies.

But unlike local restaurants, many businesses have to aggressively compete in national and global markets and if it stops growing, it starts dying. Predictable profits are not guaranteed for the foreseeable future. That's why giants like Motorola and Nokia got their mobile phone business killed by a (growing) hobbyist computer company named Apple. (Motorola and Nokia are still big but not as big as they once were.) The businesses in hyper-competitive spaces like technology etc are a basically in a Red Queen race: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Queen_hypothesis

E.g. Why can't Blockbluster Video stop worrying about growth and just pay dividends from profits? Because an upstart like Netflix competed away Blockbuster's rental profits. Using hindsight, we can see that assuming Blockbuster could just pay "dividends regularly and for the foreseeable future" is flawed. The same broken assumption is happening to Netflix today: Why can't Netflix stop worrying about growth and just pay dividends? Because Disney+ and HBO MAX are competing away Netflix's profits.

Growing revenue and profits allows adaption to new competitive threats.

It isn't just the investors who want growing businesses. The prospective employees find them desirable too. Many talented graduates of engineering would rather get a job with a growing Apple than a declining Motorola/Nokia.
It's a dogma, the dogma of neocapitalism... Endless growth.

Sort of like a malign tumor, which in the end kills the host and itself.

It's just propaganda. Nothing grows endlessly, apart maybe from human greed and idiocy.

Also some growth is "mandatory" because of inflation. If you don't grow your profits but there is inflation, your profits in reality shrink.
> Do Timpani players themselves play with ear protection? (Pretty common for drummers in pop music.)

I would be surprised to see someone playing the Timpani wearing ear protection, if there aren't other even "louder" musicians around. If someone in proximity is playing the cymbals (or snare drum, or whip etc.) loudly though, I would absolutely use ear protection even when playing Timpani.
People are starting to entropomorphise gpt3, stating it's bullshitting or lying, instead of realizing this is just a tool that is useful for some things and not for others.

The fact it talks makes people treats it differently than Excel.

The UK embassy at least was closed for renunciations most of 2020 due to COVID. They didn't reopen until halfway through last year, so maybe that year wasn't the best data point.

Incidentally I know this because I paid the $2350 last month, so timing couldn't be more annoying. I hadn't been in the US since being 1 year old and yet financial institutions refused to take my money due to the whims of another country.

If there's anything unique, it's the US doing this to people. It's an insane amount to charge just to declare you have no ties to somewhere.
How credible was that claim? Could you post a link to the tweet?

I automatically assume any online influencer trying to sell me something is a grifter. I also don't use social media.

The best part is that there's zero downside and you don't have to do anything.

Unfortunately your example situation is not comparable. Try to come up with a test for my example that does not pass any arguments during test that would never be passed during a production run. I guarantee you, that is not possible without mocking. And I'm saying that as someone who really doesn't like mocking.
But the correct answer is 15
It seems to me that questions like this show how people misunderstand generative AIs.

If you ask DALL-E to draw the Mona Lisa, it won't give you a pixel-perfect copy. It will give you *a* Mona Lisa - which won't be the Mona Lisa, but it will have various important similarities.

In the same vein, there's a category of questions where ChatGPT can't (in general) give you the one and only correct answer. It can give you an answer - the sort of answer that could plausibly have been correct, if not for the fact that it isn't.

Am I missing something? It seems to me that asking ChatGPT to do math is rather like asking why an image AI drew Mona Lisa wearing a necklace.
I'm not sure I'd say it's untapped. I know many places abuse this and use k8s as a database and framework for manipulating resource state. I think the loop-to-spec approach is rather primitive and hard to debug when you have a lot of loops trying to converge on their own myopic vision of the state.

The API is well organized and powerful, that's for sure.

I totally agree with this.

The active removal of any (even semblance) of community in society, to be replaced with radical individualism, has been horribly detrimental. There is no shame, there is no right or wrong, there is no responsibility to others.

And this extends to both sides of the political spectrum. The right glorify this "Don't step on me", "I don't care about others that don't exactly fit into my in-group", "no taxes (contributions to society)" mentality, while the left cultivates "we must take care of everyone and make everyone feel included as they are, no matter what, but we can't ask anyone to be responsible to society in any way in return".

We descended in to madness.
Amazon is now filled with pseudobrands (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/11/style/amazon-trademark-co...), commingling legitimate sellers' inventory with counterfeit products, and outright fraudulent products (try searching for 2TB flash drives). AliExpress allows sellers to ship you fraudulent products like a "USB3 1080p 4k capture card" which is only USB2 with a blue cable and drops frames, then when you request a refund, sides with the seller when they insist "you're using it wrong". And Kickstarter campaigns have a reputation of failing to live up to their promises or deliver any product whatsoever.
I, for one, welcome you sharing your point of view. It’s a breath of fresh air. HN is certainly very different from around 15 years ago when the ethos used to be “libertarianism or GTFO”. I remember getting a heated response for merely suggesting that government might have some role. I guess the change is due to the shift from focus on startups to general technology. It’s just another form of eternal September.
I think that the main point of OP is that it's possible to serve production load using just one server.

I did not looked into source code yet but I suppose that OP if not implemented already than there should ideas for implementation.

In addition: from my POV implementation of scaling for such service should be trivial:
- sharding of data between instances by a criteria (e.g. regional) or by hash
- configure network routing

I think it should work
> A friend points out that IBM Z mainframes have a bunch of the resiliency software and hardware infrastructure I mention,

Sure its expensive, and you have to deal with IBM, who are either domain experts or mouth breathers. Sure it'll cost you $2m but!

the opex of running a team of 20 engineers is pretty huge. Especially as most of the hard bits of redundant multi-machine scaling are solved for you by the mainframe. Redundancy comes for free(well not free, because you are paying for it in hardware/software)

Plus, IBM redbooks are the golden standard of documentation. Just look at this: https://www.redbooks.ibm.com/redbooks/pdfs/sg248254.pdf its the redbook for GPFS (scalable multi-machine filesystem, think ZFS but with a bunch more hooks.)

Once you've read that, you'll know enough to look after a cluster of storage.

I guess the main concern that it's often confidently unreliable. i.e. it's answers sort of make sense most of the time, yet when they are not it's hard to spot. IMHO in most cases where it's difficult to validate its answers or exactness is required this makes more than useless, maybe even harmful.
