Related but far off-topic, in regards to differences in experiencing passing time: the "The Twilight Zone" episode "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," based on Ambrose Bierce's 1890 story of the same name. My heart almost stopped when I saw it on TV when it was broadcast as Episode 22 of the fifth season of "The Twilight Zone" on February 28, 1964. I was 15.

The users don't need to know or assume anything if the decoder accepts both characters as aliases for one another. The issue is further addressable by being explicit about the normalization being in effect and/or by being explicit about which one the encoder is emitting ("if it looks like a zero, then it's always a zero").

There are some similarities but Fossil still has a push/pull/commit flow, although it does provide syncing features to automatically pull commits. Also, I don't think it has great support for large files.

Ultimately, the priorities of Fossil are going to be different than Jamsync, since Jamsync is not decentralized. Being centralized means that we'll be able to do some different things, like live file editing, but with some downsides related to replication and distribution.

In a non-funny-money-world, government bonds would yield more than expected inflation.

No one would ever give the government money expecting to lose money.

Only in a world where you can always count on the government to lower interest rates ad-infinitum to keep itself solvent which pushes up the value of your bonds to someone who's willing to pay more money to lose the same amount of money later (a greater fool - although, are you a fool if you've been able to count on this like clockwork for the last 30 years?).
Lacking the merit, I'd consider this to be arrogance rather than confidence. One is based in reality, one is just wishful thinking. Granted, most people can't tell the difference looking at someone whose background they are not familiar with.
I have no real doubt that Musk's tweets were illegal, given his position.

However, I'm not sure what damages are being claimed. If you bought Tesla stock in 2018, the stock price would have gone up by a factor of 10 over the next 2 years.

If you are day-trading or buying options, the rule should be caveat emptor.

That’s a laughable estimate. And even if that were the case, speculation comprises the other 94.85%— also illegitimate—. A result of regulatory capture and complicit politicians.
I don't particularly like using Amazon but the Smile program was the thing to sway me towards using it when convenient. I'm sure convenience alone will win them plenty but for my personal use this is a huge disappointment. I am almost certain the .5% they were giving away from my purchases/would save from this change will be less than the profit from products I will no longer buy from Amazon.

I would assume this is the case for many users and agree this is likely a short-sighted change. Scary indication of things to come as money policy keeps making companies more frugal.
My safe language doesn't have "null", more or less.

What it has is Option<T>, and I cannot turn that into a T without handling the failure case: there is literally no way to construct the code otherwise¹. One must handle the failure path. (That might be way of explicit panic/abort/oops, but it's then right there in the code: that branch will panic … and safely.)

¹(this example is using safe Rust. There's unsafe Rust too and there I can chase the null pointer all I want with that, but the parent's point is that we should be sticking to safe interfaces for stuff like this. And I'm using Rust as an example, but Option is hardly unique to Rust, heck, Rust stole the idea from its predecessors.)
If I sit on ass all day, I assume my injury rate will be lower. Using an injury rate on items picked (or items picked per man hour) could at least show the correlation between increased productivity and injuries.

Hopefully the judge tells the lawyer to fuck off. Musk at his peak was worth nearly a quarter trillion dollars on paper. If you're smart enough to attain that level of wealth, you're smart enough to know what is and isn't acceptable to tell the world on social media, end of story.

I‘ve never seen adult apprentices, don’t think it exists. Rather you‘d do internships and evening schools, as everywhere else. The difference mainly comes from apprenticeships being the norm for teenagers, it creates IMO an environment of comparatively high skill levels in all kinds of trades. Maybe not too surprising that Germany and Switzerland are generally good at machines and fine mechanics.

20ish sounds about right - in Switzerland, men loose a year due to military/civil service.
> the lgb alliance (a boring trans-hate group)

Can you direct me to any place where the LGB Alliance officially affirms “trans hate” as their core message?

Seems like a remark that fails the barest minimum of common sense thresholds, in that it’s unclear to me how any such body could ever hope to remain a tax-deductible registered charity.

I can see why the author would want to write about the X-Y problem, but what we really need is a way for those trying to answer to quickly discern if an X-Y problem actually exists. When it doesn't, the querent finds themselves at an unending cycle of attempting the clarify and justify in an insatiable appetite to convince them they are solving the wrong problem. The author really should be writing about that.

In order to have the safe language I believe you would need to decompose the code shown here in show_smaps_rollup(). If the null deref occurred in the unsafe portion it would likely still do an oops. If the null deref occurred in the safe portion it would likely exit safely and cause the syscall to return some errno that describes a kernel fault.

Media players should have a "playing" indicator that is separate from the play/pause control. Not just because of the ambiguity between state and action, but also because there is difference between the requested state and the actual state!

A media player can be in the "user wants to play" state and not be playing, because buffering is taking place. This is a very common state, yet all the media players I've seen have an ambiguous or confusing display during this state.
Why is legal reporting in Europe so ambiguous? There are always articles with a summary but it seems like you can never read any deeper unless it reaches the ECJ or ECHR. In America we have PACER and anyone with a few dollars can read everything besides sealed documents,

From https://news.ycombinator.com/posts?id=foxbee it looks like you've been using HN primarily for promotion. That's against the rules - please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

When an account does that, we usually end up banning the account and/or putting what they're promoting into a spam filter. HN is supposed to be a community where people participate out of intellectual curiosity, not an advertising platform. The hallmark of intellectual interest is that it's unpredictable and not specifically connected to other kinds of interest, such as commercial interest.

It's also a little distasteful to intervene in someone else's launch thread to do this, although people do it all the time.
Did they fail the polygraph? Or were they told they failed a sham polygraph in the hopes that they would confess their crimes afterwards? The police do this tactic often; if you are suspected of a crime, never consent to a polygraph not done by a neutral party no matter how not guilty you are, or you will probably "fail."

(Polygraphs are pseudoscientific BS in the first place, but I know there are some cases where you must undergo them for whatever reason.)
In Ars Technica's article:

> To ensure that none of their test ads reached vulnerable audiences, Global Witness deleted the ads before alarming messages like “Death to the children of Lula voters” could be published.

And in the published results[0] hyperlinked by Ars:

> Out of sixteen test ads submitted by Global Witness to the platform, only two were rejected. Those approved included text in Portuguese such as “unearth all the rats that have seized power and shoot them”, “Death to the children of Lula voters” [...]

They seem to be mostly talking about politicians, yes, but there was a specific ad right there that advocates for killing the children of Lula voters that was approved by Meta, and as a Brazilian that has seen this kind of advocating before in social media, I'm not surprised Meta isn't doing their job properly.

Really? 20 years is the difference between a generation being raised pre/post:

* massive computing storage / processing upgrades

* mass adoption of eCommerce

* video calling

* ubiquitous social networking

* EVs

* mRNA vaccines

* Mars exploration

* LHC

* 3D printing

It amazes me to look back at 2003 and see how far we’ve come.

From what I've heard, Euclid is fairly accessible and was for centuries the standard geometry textbook for children; the Principia is incredibly daunting, and Newton even admitted that he made it extra confusing on purpose to deter readers who weren't already experts.

Curious to know if there's language that differentiate between procedure (function with side-effect) and pure function at the syntax level.
This happens a lot! For example, at the appendix of an advanced book on PDE (e.g. Evans') you find a three-page summary of main definitions and results in integration theory and L^p spaces. Or at the appendix of a book on differential geometry (e.g. do Carmo's) you find a succinct compendium of elementary differential calculus, explained in the most efficient way. These kind of condensed summaries, or fascicules de résultats, are rarely found on books that deal with the subject matter directly.
Old clothes have a lot less fiber in them. Whether your math checks out would depend on the % of fibers lost per week rather than just the total number.

Washing machines also have lint traps, and the water treatment plant has to deal with a lot of solids from washing machines. I don't have numbers on what percent comes out in that case.

I don't think any VC would back a startup to get to 2M in 10 years. They may do it as a nice gesture if they were failing anyway but no VC would want that outcome after a decade. One example: Gumroad. The investors were nice to let the founder keep going while they let him buy them out for like $1 or something. Today Gumroad is much bigger and decently successful company. Mailchimp was bootstrapped for many years with a service component. If they had raised VC money, they would have been forced to pivot or die early.
Who cares? Since when have embargoes or sanctions led by states produced the desired effect? They usually accomplish the exact opposite. Also, not everyone buys the US narrative about how this conflict happened and who is to blame.

If you're in the US, take a look at Firebox [1] that have a bunch of options through the price range all of which are fairly light. I would suggest going with a biomass stove with some thermal mass (easier to keep the burn chamber hot and also to stop the wind from pushing your stove around) if you're not constrained by backpacking/bikepacking constraints though (e.g. car camping or just going to a park/yard for some outdoor bbq.) You can make one with tin cans and some filler material (there's several guides online) or you can buy something like the EcoZoom [2].

Lots of people don't realize that wet wood generates a lot more smoke and that it takes wood a while after falling off a tree to dry up, so if I'm going by car or by train I often take some dry wood with me to keep the smoke dry.

And yet, think of all the servers that get hacked today because they are running unpatched versions of their operating systems. I agree with you that there were lots of CCTV systems 30 years ago. I'm just pointing out that the fact these cameras exist doesn't mean they are maintained or that employees know how to use them, and that this problem was more challenging in the past because stuff was mechanical and analog and not as easy to automate.
I kinda agree with everything except that affirmations DO work, they are like self hypnosis and reach the unconscious in ways that add up.

Every time a horrible cringe/guilt memory comes up, instead of expletive Fuuuuuuu (mental or out loud) literally reprogram yourself to immediately say "I love me!" or "Different now" or something else that's positive.

Thoughts and feelings that fire together wire together, so you MUST to break the connection of old shit spiraling into bad mood, paralysis, etc in the moment.

This is daily housekeeping for mental health. No one has endless time to meditate or waste money on therapy

once you have a few of these solid habits, you feel strong enough to do the heavy murky freudian trauma unraveling that's more longterm and releases the tight gordian knots from childhood etc.

But daily tools DO work and are just as important.

So, you've dodged the question of who he is. How about the question of why his identity must be kept secret? It sounds like anyone anywhere near him would know who you're talking about anyway
For sure it is. Scientism is an example. It even has creation myths, the stories of the Big Bang and Copernicus being two examples.

This idea is developed in depth by Bishop Robert Barron. Very interesting to consider.

This probably doesn't violate HIPAA.

HIPAA doesn't prevent law enforcement from acquiring data in the interests of a criminal prosecution. Meanwhile, the data as currently silo'd is not sufficient to figure out who somebody is (ad companies are real keen on that, because they don't want the sites they serve to harvest ad data on their users and side-step the ad services; as a result, the fingerprints are usually double-blinded in a way such that only the user's browser can aggregate enough data to "know" who the user is).
Serious question: is there any reason to trust anything IBM does or says isn’t vaporware? In recent memory I am only familiar with failed projects that received copious media praise (eg Watson, BlueMix).

The only project I know of that was genuinely successful is Deep Blue. What successes have they had since then?

Counter-intuitively, reading Tim Ferris and his DSSS approach made me much better at math

Deconstruct: Break down the math you want to know into big problems and concepts. Pick a math-related goal that is Measurable and Time-Bound

Selection: What the 20% of math concepts, that if made really strong, would solve 80% of math problems

Sequencing: What order of material should you study for maximal progress

Stakes: Find some incentive to complete the problem. Some nice view of mathematical terrain, as part of a masters program, applications to another field, a prize, a cookie. Anything that motivates you to actually make progress towards the goal

This approach helped me learn a bunch of high level math like abstract algebra, analysis, linear algebra, etc.

In New Zealand, according to health.govt.nz:

18.8% of adults had a hazardous drinking pattern in 2021/22.
Hazardous drinkers are those who obtain an Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) score of 8 or more, representing an established pattern of drinking that carries a high risk of future damage to physical or mental health.

I agree that definition of addiction, and alcoholism, vary by country.
The vast majority of regular meat contains no nitrosamines or other preservatives.
I'd say a significant majority of people do, but inadvertently.

Only 8 states don't require USSSS registration before obtaining an ID/driver's license and would automatically register (CA, CT, IN, NE, OR, VT, WA, WY), and of those, Washington and Indiana still automatically register unless there is an explicit opt out.

It's also a requirement for consideration of financial aid or in-state tuition for college, so many public universities won't allow application without proof of USSSS registration first and also helpfully auto-register on application or during enrollment.

My experience in CA is public high school would refuse to even award a high school diploma if you're 18 by graduation and didn't register and would also auto-register on your behalf if no explicit opt out was given. Funnily enough, mine registered me in the 30 days _before_ I turned 18.

A key difference, aside from the general Linux experience back then being even worse than it is today, is that they only supported native Linux games. Valve quickly discovered why people generally didn't port to Linux even when Steam provided them a stable targetable runtime.

Now they've come back with a new plan: screw it, we'll just run Windows games on the damn things instead. Combined with FlatPaks and an immutable base system (with KDE instead of user-hostile GNOME), I think they actually have a pretty good shot at replacing Ubuntu as the new de-facto Linux Desktop distro. From there, Year of the Linux Desktop, for gamers at least, looks a bit more plausible.

Unpopular opinion, but charities are like carbon credits. Most of the money goes into people’s pockets and very less percentage of the donations actually make it towards helping the cause they run on. Very few legitimately use the money in the way we expect it to be used. So I’m okay with them losing $400M.
Ah, but what if you call it locally-harvested organic free-range electricity? Might be worth a lot more, economically speaking.

My personal gripe, as a european, with how I see abortion discussion from the US is that many seem to argue for 2nd/3rd trimester abortions for any/no reason.

And with overturning ROE, I saw it more as forcing the issue to be actually resolved, rather than having a, IMO, wrongful precedent. Aka, it"s a state issue, until it is codified into federal law.
