I wouldn't say I'm aiming to spread them. I'm asking a bunch of people more educated than I (HackerNews readers) if there is any truth/concern to any of it.

You can find 10 posts in the past 30 days where people here are saying "omg, greedy corporation does greedy thing".

Just the other day we had a post saying "maybe the U.S. economy won't continue to grow forever and the stock market won't continue to return 7% a year"

Asked ChatGPT

> Is Wall Street known to be trustworthy and moral?

> Over the years there have been many instances of scandals, manipulation and fraud on Wall Street, which has damaged the reputation of the street.

Asked it this as well

> Are there instances of the U.S. government hiding the truth/lying to its citizens/being inefficient with taxpayer money?

> There have been instances in history where the U.S. government has been accused of hiding the truth, lying to its citizens, or being inefficient with taxpayer money.

I'm just trying to have a conversation. These MAGA people get a ton of power when you shut them down because they can point and say "see! listen! they don't want our points to be voiced! that means we're onto something"

I was talking about ChatGPT itself. It could be made better with more data.
Weird how they said they were going to release monthly attestations through them and then did exactly one 4 months ago, and then in December BDO said they were going to stop dealing with crypto companies.

Oh well, probably nothing!
I see a reasonable number of these University press releases on HN. This was a preclinical lab study. There are literally hundreds of thousands of these studies, and yet as you may readily observe, cancer is still killing lots of people. The signal to noise ratio is very low for such preclinical results. They are also inferior information sources versus the actual paper. As someone who works in the oncology field, my opinion is that these press release submissions are generally of low quality.

Makes me wonder why they are posted. I can see the user who submitted this has had 35 submissions in the last 6 days. 3 or 4 of these are university PR pieces about cancer, Alzheimers and some other bioscience things, along with many other disparate fields. Not sure what to make of this, and I won't guess at the motivation. I accept that some people have omnivorous interests. I guess I should just not click on such articles.
Never said I don't think we'll pay our debt.

How will that not limit us going forward / is the current rate of "just add it to debt/never pay it back" sustainable?
Neat site. One more angle I didn't think about until recently was buying a USB-C cable that was magnetic/breakaway to minimize port wear on a laptop that only has one usb c/thunderbolt.

I spend a bit of time around quizzing and surveying, that brain enjoyed this quiz and the following ideas popped to mind.

- Like the big font. Could be even a bit bigger. Playing with centering could help draw attention down a bit easier.

- Try removing the next button for single choice options. Button can stay for multiple buttons. If you imagine it on a mobile device, if it's just making one selection, it is confirmation enough most of the time if you want more people to be able to get through to the end quickly, or perhaps have more clicks left in their attention to go back and try different scenarios. Having a next button is nice for summative testing in online courses to confirm your answer, but here it might be low risk enough to be able to go back and adjust if needed.

- On the results page - I'm guessing more will come here but showing me a summary of what I entered, and the cables that came up, and retailers I can get it from might be interesting.

- The progress bar is helpful to know. If you like playing with them, progress bars with circles for each step/stage could allow you to put a graphic of a laptop, phone, or a USB_A connector on end perhaps. Going through the questions made me think about "building your wire/use case" to see the options.

- If by chance you are considering leaving this up as a possible side-hustle to help people shortlist their cable, in exchange for offering an affiliate link, it would be helpful to consider getting them through as few clicks for their benefit as possible, and if that works and if you have repeat visitors, perhaps consider asking them to subscribe to an email list to keep in the loop for updates.

- What kind of updates, Decision models are fun times. Bonus points could exist offering to earn visitors email address by offering to update visitors by email if other options become available for their choices. A bit more work here to save their answers but hey. An offer to notify them of price drops (via camelcamelcamel) or things being in stock could be useful to some too for folks looking to replace more usb-a cables than they realize.
Another "city" idea without concern for people who live outside of cities. Electricity is really expensive where I live, but gas is cheap. This idea would seriously hurt the household budget.

IIRC the US government failed to pay pensions for Civil War or WW1 soldiers, and the British government did something similar regarding bonds or pensions for WW1 or WW2 soldiers.

It really depends on what the terms of your contract with $day_job is. For example, if it requires you be on call and get to a physical site for troubleshooting and if your $construction_job would get in the way of that in the normal course of business (eg: you are 100 miles away when you get a support call), then you need to figure out how you can reduce scope with your $day_job so that you can do justice to both.

It is about setting expectations.

I am assuming your $day_job employer would prefer to have you work 20 hours instead of current 40 hours instead of the 40 hours going to 0 hours (i.e., all or nothing).

No.

About 10 years ago, I dropped into our local meteorology office on my lunch break to ask about the weather for a week long bush walk I had planned. It was amazing too see how much local knowledge the guy there could apply to the official BOM forecasts to make them more meaningful! Models are great, and have improved significantly since then, but human experience is also amazing!
Also wouldn't the dataset being from different number of people affect this? During 2021 probably much more people with higher pay self reported their pay on the website and 2022 just didn't see that much contribution?
No, never. If the role needed someone with specific expertise or if CORS was a “hot item” for day to day development, then sure. But I’ve found that I usually don’t need to ask very complex questions to figure out if someone has skills or not.

Of course you wouldn't say that, but what matters isn't where you claim you're aiming, it's what you're doing: parroting MAGA crazed conspiracy theories.

"Argument from ChatGPT" is much worse than Argument from Authority. If you can't come up with your own arguments, then don't quote ChatGPT's arguments to me, just admit you're out of arguments.

Oh no, by shutting down and not listening to MAGA conspiracy theory parrots like you, I'm giving them power, because then they'll point fingers and lie, you threaten??!

Well they'll certainly point fingers and lie even if I listen to them too, so be it.

There is a wide variety in ages of prominent exchanges. NYSE is one of the older ones at around 250 years, LSE is not as old but roughly 220. Some Asian exchanges are younger, Hong Kong and the Indian ones are 100-150 years old. Chinese exchanges are younger still, so is the Japanese and NASDAQ was founded in the 1970s. I am also curious as to which specific one they meant, perhaps they meant the set that were all setup around 1890s as a hundred years old.

Of course, being electronic is a later thing, as far as I know the NASDAQ was one of the first.
Having some balance between a joint's flexors and extensors is a good idea, fair enough. I've never heard of too much curling precipitating a rounded back. Even training everyday you're not going to be hunched over for that long.
The reasonable thing to do would be to have this issue out to a referendum vote within the Apache community. Without knowing how the community overall actually feels about this issue it’s actually quite presumptuous for outsiders to butt in either way.

The Apache community may want to prioritize other issues, or maybe indeed they’d want to focus on renaming this piece of software. I’d be much more comfortable if we let the Apache community decide before spending too much time and energy on the topic
In my country, many of the state-controlled public services (e.g., electricity, water and sewage) are very expensive due to mismanagement. Others, like public healthcare are mediocre (don't scale well), albeit costly. Many of these entities suffer from being exposed to political influence.
Yeah. I tried a project driving 32x16 pixels with a Arduino (an Uno, ATMega328) and it was just barely on the edge of usable for mild animation. Furthermore, I could really only use it at full brightness. These panels are extremely bright, and my project was meant to be desktop display. For the next version, I moved to an ESP8266 which provides plenty of compute speed to drive these panels at a brightness that’s comfortable.

Sulfur dioxide in the troposphere isn’t very long lived and won’t make it to the stratosphere where it actually has a surface cooling effect. Even small volcanos have very little impact on stratospheric aerosol formation since they do not inject sulfur to high enough altitudes. Only very powerful surface injections have long lasting stratospheric effects.

> GPT-3 is perfectly capable of recognizing what kinds of things it will be bad at, and can be encouraged to generate machine-executable queries to fill in that gap.

By what seems to me to be the obvious choice for a definition of "bad at", namely "not answering queries based on an actual semantically connected world model", GPT-3 is bad at everything. And an obvious example of an endpoint of your perfectly reasonable suggestion to have it pass on queries to solution machines that are based on actual world models, is...Wolfram Alpha.

They probably didn't mean to a large degree, but air pollution does scatter light and UV radiation. As well as cause breathing problems, asthma, probably lung cancer, etc.
I have iterated a fair bit of quizzing and surveying experiences.

Fewer clicks or taps always win, especially in the single radio button option scenarios. Visitors seem to appreciate that kind of seamless help as long as they can go back and forth if needed.

One simple approach for multiple-answer questions is to branch the additional resulting questions into the same queue to generate more than one scenario. There is a fair bit of tech out there to handle such decision making pretty easily.

> Likewise redemptions always paid in treasury bonds?

This is better! But a couple issues. One, this means the U.S. Treasury has an open book into your in and outflows. Not sure that's Tether's vibe. Two, you've limited yourself to people who can transfer Treasuries. Given Tether doesn't provide consumer redemption, this isn't a huge issue. But transferring Treasuries takes more financial savvy than wiring cash, and that savvy is likely to ask for their interest (as is common in collateral arrangements).
If people are willing to lend to the gov't (by purchasing bonds), then why is it not sustainable? Those who are doing the lending is effectively proclaiming that they don't foresee a stoppage of future lending.

I did watch the video. The Tesla had seven blinks of the turn signal, five of them before entering the lane.

The car in the destination lane was at a safe distance for the Tesla to enter the lane, but it aggressively maintained its slightly faster speed to close the distance to the Tesla until it crashed into the Tesla as the Tesla slowed to a stop. The Tesla did present a difficult situation for the other driver, but only in the sense that the other driver may have felt their ego would be bruised by needing to slow down for safety versus aggressive posturing that they went with instead. Watch the video again. Zoom in. The other driver did have the opportunity to slow down, keep distance, and avoid hitting the Tesla. They did not take that opportunity.
Does the license preclude you from forking it?
The problem with vent hoods isn't the material, it's how close and how large they need to be in order to be effective.

Most people use the front burners since they're way more convenient, but for a vent hood to capture the combustion byproducts, it needs to extend past the burner in all directions and be fairly close to the surface -- nobody has their vent hood sticking 12" proud of their stove, even in high-end kitchens. And nobody building a nice kitchen is only putting their vent 24" above the stove where they'd be most effective.

Compare a fume hood you'd find in a lab where they actually care about keeping the fumes controlled: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fume_hood#/media/File:Fume_hoo...

Vs. a random high-end kitchen with what appears to be a $10k gas range: https://www.hopedalebuilders.com/hubfs/Featured%20Images%20-...

How often do you think they use that hood while cooking? At what power level? And what percentage of pollutants are caught by that hood?

Heck, even compare it to a commercial kitchen: https://lirp.cdn-website.com/5537b4455a5e43849c5f981982bb482...

Hoods are massive, run the entire time, are designed to pull a blanked of air past the burners into the room, and they extend well past the pollution sources on the sides.
Anecdotally I noticed a huge difference in sun burning when I stopped consuming seed oils and started taking cod liver oil every morning. I have pretty pale Northern European skin and I went from sunburning within an hour of sun exposure to never using sunscreen and not burning even with hours of sun exposure. I think I’d still burn at some point but the threshold is no where near what I am used to it being.

My one-step-shy-of-tinfoil-hat dad loves to say that he thinks climate change is BS. He has no expertise on which to claim this, but when prompted he'll cite "it used to be that we had to worry about the ozone layer ... " -- I'll patiently explain how the Montreal Protocol has mitigated the problem, that's why it doesn't come up anymore. And bringing up the ozone layer is actually a great case for policies that intervene to preserve our environment.

He'll generally change the subject or focus on some other modern "dystopia" rather than acknowledge being wrong.

Banking and payment monopolies are very important for the US political system. As a last resort, banks want to be able to de-bank grass roots political opposition and giving all citizens a post office bank account would make this impossible without violating the first amendment. Thats why the US doesn't have this while western countries with stricter political speech codes do.
Because a post office’s core competence is mail delivery and not banking. If you want bank services go to a bank. In the US at least it feels like there are too many bank branches with more being built each year.

It's the same treadmill of pushing everyone to update to slower buggier less featureful & more user hostile versions, and decrying old working programs as insecure and incompatible.

By making software insecure and buggy devs have an excuse to ship endless patches and mess with users however they want, devs incompetence and hostility is blamed on users for not updating fast enough when they made the problem in the first place.
You guys are sparking some memories. I grew up on a small horse farm in North Texas (fairly near McKinney, back when McKinney was a sleepy little town) and we had a ton of "bowdark" trees. The horses loved the apples. We used to shoot them (the apples, not the horses) with our BB guns because their white oozing sap was visible evidence of hitting the target. Never heard of using the sap for warts but I'll take your word for it.

Sometimes my brother would make beautiful things out of bois d'arc wood. If you have the patience and the carbide-tipped tools to work it it's gorgeous wood that lasts forever because it's hard as a rock.

The summer of 1980 was indeed unbearably hot. Texas summers are always hot but the summer of 1980 was something else entirely. I remember not feeling cool for the entire month of July, even at midnight.

GC just describes a set of algorithms that track and manage resources at runtime. GC-languages would be languages that use a GC for all or nearly-all memory management.

But non-GC languages can absolutely use GC algorithms. It's actually pretty common - Chromium uses GC in C++, for example. This lets you selectively choose where your GC applies and tune it for not just the application but for that specific bit of the application.

There are lots of interesting algorithms for this that solve exactly the problem of "I have a concurrent data structure and I had to swap out a pointer" without a refcount - for example, epoch based collection.
Atmospheric pollution scatters and absorbs some UV light in the upper atmosphere and stops it reaching the ground. While reducing pollution is a net good, one unfortunate consequence of controlling and reducing the pollution that gets up to the upper atmosphere is that it will lead to a few percent increase in the UV dose people receive in the northern hemisphere. Skin cancer is associated with UV exposure so incidence of skin cancers will go up if sun safety is not observed.
I don't think it's a coincidence that software lifetime has converged to the time it takes an initial stock grant to vest.
