Never surprised when someone opposed to the Civil Rights Act misunderstands the basic premise and importance of Wickard v Filburn, which was not about "growing your own feed for private use."

In a nutshell, WvF was about a guy growing enough feed to sell and an additional surplus for his own use, in violation of Depression production controls introduced to restore the wheat industry from the complete collapse it suffered during the Depression. Filburn could have grown wheat for his own use, or for sale, since the threshold was set high enough for either purpose (but was deliberately set too low to allow for both for all but subsistence farmers). But Filburn wanted to have his cake and eat it too, and got caught doing both, which he could only do because he had violated the production controls. Very importantly, Filburn sold his wheat across state lines...

If Filburn's actions had been replicated at a national level, wheat prices would have plummeted, the U.S. wheat industry would have collapsed, again, and Filburn would likely have been murdered by his fellow farmers for destroying their industry.
What do you expect from a country that made it legal for cops to do crimes in pursuit of “official business “. The UK is arguably more fucked than many “western” countries, just in its own unique way.
Ask HN: Where to study or learn about outlier treatment in data science?
I work as a consultant to several types of industries and fields, because of that I'd like to know how to treat outliers in a given case.

I don't want to delve deep or do a PhD on the subject, I just want to learn the tools and know when and how to use them.

I want to answer questions like:

- How do I know that I can just remove outliers?

- Given a particular case, can I use median instead of average/mean?

- When should I transform outliers using log (or other technique)?

- etc.

PS: I use Python.
It seems to consist of a collection of recent channels you have visited. Sometimes I check out a new channel and the shorts for that channel start to appear in the mix until I watch enough other channels to get the original channel out of my "queue".

If the real cost of the rockets is an uninhabitable Earth, and an uninhabitable Mars, then everyone is some combination of unhappy or dead.
a) Insight: Side-effects can often be avoided, and sometimes it’s a good thing to do so, even when not writing programs in a purely functional style.

b) To me, functional programming was tremendeously useful when learning to program. Not sure exactly why, but it clicked with the way my brain works.

And no, the Mac's battery itself is not longer than the PC's one.
It takes community effort to make up for poor quality submissions. Effort that could be better spent.

A number of people have attempted to give you kind and constructive feedback. You appear immune to it.

Usually when there is a two-step process needed for something to evolve, then there is often an advantage to one of the steps in isolation that isn't easily apparent, or the advantage it gave might have been lost to time.
There are occassional outages. But the pylons are designed with icing in the mind and that does the difference. More outages are due to poorly trimmed trees falling on wires than ice itself. That usually affects only small area and can be fixed quickly.
Recently I learned something named GDevelop exists. Not sure how good it is, but it might be one of the options to consider.
By non zero you mean effectively zero though. Those kinds of impacts happened early in the history of the solar system. They’re not impossible, as there are still objects that size out there, but something would have to sling them towards the Sun.

Arguably were most at risk only during the next few centuries. After that our space capabilities will probably make us nearly immune to fast moving rocks from space.
Can anyone give a quick synopsis of why this RSGI is needed? Can't ASGI code be called from a Rust socket termination, a la Gunicorn?
It wasn't shadowbanned; initially it got so many downvotes that it was greyed out and marked "dead".

> There's essentially a contract between people and the state whereby most people accept that there are traffic laws that they'll loosely follow and the state can enforce the laws but will almost universally ignore or miss minor infractions.

Someone should let small town cops know about this contract. I've been ticketed for speeding 7, 5, and even 3 miles over the limit. I've also once had my car searched for running a stop sign (at 2 in the morning, when other than the cop car lurking in the parking lot, there were absolutely no cars anywhere). I was a teenager back then, and didn't know my rights, or had any resources to pursue legal recourse. But the point is that traffic laws are enforced extremely erratically, depending on where you happen to be living in a country.
> GP said that gifts are taxed if you exceed the annual limit, and this is 100% wrong.

No, he said “only if” not just “if”, and this is precisely, 100% correct:

X only if Y = X does not occur except when Y occurs (but does not specify whether X cab fail to occur if Y occurs)

X if Y = X always occurs if Y occurs (but does not specify if X can occur without Y)

X if, only if, Y (sonetimes written X iff Y) = X occurs always and only when Y occurs.

(Actually, he said “are taxable”, not “are taxed”, so “only if” would also be correct, more on that below.)

> If you stay below the annual limit every year, you will never exceed the lifetime limit, unless you and the recipient live to 140 or something

No, for two reasons: one, gifts that are below the annual exclusion aren’t taxable and don’t count against the lifetime exemption. Secod, even if you just passed the exclusion for a single recipient (so, you had a taxable gift $1 more than the exclusion level each year—note, the full amount is taxable if you exceed the exclusion), you would never (given historical relationship) reach the lifetime exemption, which annually has increased by more than the annual exclusion.

Gifts of the type subject to tax, to a single recipient, in a single year, exceeding the annual exclusion amount are taxable and must be reported. (Note that the annual exclusion is per recipient from a donor.)

But taxable gifts are only actually taxed on the amount the donor has exceeded the current lifetime exemption (across all recipients).

And you highlight how allowing non-competes with garden leave is a mixed bag. If someone's fine with taking a year or two off while getting some fraction of the total compensation they were getting previously, I suppose it can look like a good deal. But that would be pretty unsatisfactory for a lot of people mid-career with kids in college.

I have a grandfathered Verizon plan. Unlike the so-called Unlimited plans of today they dont throttle nor de-peioritize me after I hit the soft-cap. I think most plans on most networks tend to be somewhere under 25GB soft cap. Many networks seem to go to less than 1MBps after soft-cap.

I used to be a bit more of a recreational traveller & always fantasized that might increase more, but these months I am essentially never over 15GB usage. I really should save some money & switch off but it's hard to give up this thing. I dont expect it'd impact me often, & maybe a de-prioritized plan might be better, still have some time when there's plenty fine connections, but the idea of being slammed with super shitty connectivity when I want to be most enjoying myself has been a threat that's kept me locked in to this irreplaceable & now very expensive old thing.
Not through FTC rulemaking. Mandatory arbitration is permissible under the Federal Arbitration Act. You'd have to get Congress to pass a law banning them.
My general answer for people asking this question is: when you think you can sustain yourself. And it sounds like you're almost there.

It sounds like the question for you is whether you can find new clients at a rate fast enough to replace old ones. This is a question you'll never be able to answer fully as an employee, because employers generally don't like you putting out an "open for business" sign. So in your shoes I'd put together a marketing/sales plan, take the new customer, and devote some time over the next N months to seeing if you can build up enough interest and leads that you will have plenty of work down the road.

It sounds like the worst case here is that you get to the end of your contracts and have to go get another job again. Which is not a terrible outcome as long as you don't burn your bridges. And it's worth noting that after a period of freelancing you may decide you'd rather have a job anyhow, so you can look at the next months/years as an experiment not just on prospects, but on whether or not you will be happy with it.
Just FYI, fchollet is also one of the creators of Keras/TF, so it's hardly an unbiased data point.
There are old textbooks in the used book market.

The basic ideas of academic harmonic analysis have been stable for many years. Any undergrad textbook from the last forty or fifty years, would be fine and will be more consistent with the academic language that forms the basis of music theory discussion.
I don't really see what this has to do with the submission.

Furthermore, I think it's a bit of a strawman to say that people who think "The West" is evil (usually in reference to the USA's long history of spying on and overthrowing countries) wouldn't also think Saudi Arabia is evil.
If you are referring to transcritical CO2 that is absolutely right. However you can't just use any pressure change in any gas, it would work but it would not be economically viable due to that inefficiency.
I owe you for indulging in your recommendation - thanks! The lecture quality is unrivaled when held up to the YouTube tutorials of today.

For anyone else considering investing the time: I am extremely satisfied with the 2 hours it took to learn + practice the basics. As far as high-yield learning investments go, I’d already put awk up there with my time spent learning Vim and Git.

Sure, but it's not. Which everyone knows but some people will pretend it is so that they can get the thing they want: the protesting. So we'll just let them say that and pay the increased costs so we can "recognize the contributions of the original habitants of this land: the stripe tailed gecko" and we'll launch the rockets. They'll take the money and buy a bigger office to go after the next target.

And everyone is happy and alive.

Ansible (as a proxy for infrastructure as code in general) being hard to implement is a warning that your setup is too convoluted. Cloning VMs is the high-interest unsecured loan of tech debt, and when that bill comes due it’s going to be much worse than spending a few days on some scripting.
I really dislike youtube shorts because it's literally unusable on desktop. And it always pushes political content (mostly right wing but also religious stuff) like "x destroys sjw" where someone giving a speach starts "roasting" someone from the audience for their supposedly ridiculous views.

There are also too many videos of people like Andrew Tate and short movie clips. The "funny" part: I still get to see them weeks later even though I disliked the videos.

It seems to me that many Youtube creators do not want to create shorts. However, the algorithm for shorts seems a bit flawed too:

* On Instagram for example I get to see videos in different languages (which does not happen really often on Youtube, even though I speak these languages and watch youtube videos in these languages)

* I get to see much more "crappy" content with like 10 likes

* Some videos I have seen on shorts were a quite disturbing, such a thing did not happen on reels
I don't follow how heat pumps have limited potential.

British Columbia generally uses the Carbon Tax revenue to offset other government revenues (eg: lowering income taxes; a Conservative candidate campaigned on this federally in 2017 [1]), while the federal policy provides a flat rebate to taxpayers. They both attempt to be "neutral" in one way or another. I'm not sure which is better.

That said, the Carbon Tax is a bit of a wedge issue (federally) in Canada, as different regions are more suburban and car-dependent than others as well as other provinces historically have produced oil. Your lifestyle and outlook to climate change policy often influences your feelings on the topic.

A bit more than half of the population is women.

Unless you're assuming that women are by nature less competent, narrowing to half of the population either includes the best candidate or at least one infinitesimally close to the best candidate with ridiculously high probability.

So what's the harm exactly?

The benefit is that we actually end up with some diversity, instead of the usual old-white-guy club that most of the West defaults to in leadership positions.

Obviously the Federal government is constitutionally authorized to regulate non-competes. That's not my argument at all. And the FTC is not banning unenforceable non-competes, the proposed rule bans all non-competes.

Regardless of which non-competes they choose to ban, however, the fact remains that this is the first time that the FTC is attempting to use Section 5 in this manner. It is very unclear that they have the authority to issue the proposed rule. My opinion is that they do not, and I think the courts will agree with me.

When I first tried to transition into tech, I had a really hard time getting someone to hire me. I had a lot of potential, but no one wanted to take a risk on someone without experience. I still needed some training, and no one wanted to train me, just to see me leave in a few years.

That seems to be an argument for keeping non-compete clauses--allow firms to hire people on the condition that they'll stay a few years once they've be trained and can at least recoup the cost of training. Something like that would've been in my favor.

Maybe a better solution would be something like the government will pay a company if an employee leaves within some time frame after getting hired (2 years or so) if that employee gets a higher paying job in a similar role. It'd be tricky to structure correctly, but the whole idea is that what the government is really paying for is job training insurance. It mitigates the risk for firms for hiring people, thus making hiring faster and keeping people out of unemployment.
The way luxury car brands usually do this is by slowly lowering the price, $1K-$2K a month, or offer incentives.

Tesla couldn't do that here because they need to quickly come in under the cutoff for the new laws.

But if they didn't want to take a huge PR hit, they could have sent checks to all the recent buyers. Say $13K to someone who bought in the last month, $10K if you bought 1-2 months, and so on.

Then the new prices would fit the new laws and the recent buyers would actually be happy and do marketing for you instead of being angry and do anti-marketing, which will be more powerful since they just bought it. Going and telling their friends "I just bought a Tesla and you should not" will be way more costly to them than the checks.

Non-trivial yes; although house-sized spinning fairground rides are a thing so it's clearly infinitely easier than the gravity of Mars being a law of physics.

Thanks for the feedback. The reason I wrote this article is because we _can_ do something about it. Through avoiding throwing lots of wasteful error objects and adding a little bit of caching, the time it took to lint the project became 30% faster. Those changes were applied locally to a couple of popular third party tools for module resolution in node_modules. That's how the 30% speedup was achieved.

That said if module resolution wasn't as complex in node to begin with, the speedup would surely be a little greater. I'm hoping that this post sparks a bit of discussion on that and some node contributors already voiced interest on twitter to think more about that.

Long-term garden leave is still unequal as you forfeit things like bonus (which can be a significant percentage of TC) and you can't practice the skills of your employment for months or years. Imagine going on leave from the financial sector in 2007 and coming back in 24 months later, for example.

Functional programming has instilled in me a belief that I call "You don't have to punch yourself in the face."

The premise is this: you have two arms and two hands. They can be used in a controlled manner to do lots of useful things. They can also be swung around in a wild fashion that results in punching yourself in the face.

The concepts functional programming rallies against, like mutable state, are like arms: useful in certain circumstances, dangerous in others. But that's the thing: You don't have to write code in a dangerous way. You don't have to punch yourself in the face. That is to say, functional programming has reinforced my belief in the imperative style of programming.
Good luck with that "Free to Spend" category. It just turned into emergency fund 2.0 for me. One thing that allowed me to spend some money is the idea of diversifying my savings by purchasing assets. Rather than let Emergency fund 2.0 sit in an account as cash burning a hole in my pocket why not buy an asset. This could be an apartment, a collectible, a storage facility, etc. For me this feels like saving and spending at the same time.
