I don't think every one of these corporations is going to take 100% of their cash on hand and stash it into 10 year bonds overnight...

But I'm lead to believe some variation of this is happening. Corporations can make 3-4% risk free + short term. If you work on a project that doesn't bring the company at least 3-4% ROI after it's all said and done (you, your managers, all expenses, etc.)... why are you owed a job?

Very cruel and mean reality, right?
When I order a cheeseburger and pay with cash, the clerk is always cautious to ensure that the cash I provide wasn't previously stolen. After enjoying my meal, I always make sure to thoroughly investigate the diner after to ensure that they pay their fair share of taxes.

I sure am; almost all of my spending earns a rewards percentage that exceeds the rate charged to the merchant. (This is not even counting the significant sign-up bonuses.)

Totally.. Disney has completely missed the fact that a big part of the pent up love of some of these franchises had to do with people having to wait their entire childhood for a new release. I went to ROTJ for my 7th birthday party. There was no more new Star Wars content till I was 22!

As science fiction and fantasy have evolved, they have converged.

We can see plenty of fantasy in works of science fiction in the conventional _forms_ of science fiction -- short stories, novels, TV shows, movies, video games.

It will be interesting to see science fiction in the conventional _forms_ of fantasy -- epics, ballads, poetry, fairy tales, onomastics, runic and incantatory forms of language....

This decision would be enough to cancel my HBO subscription, but apparently it's bundled into our cable package so I don't directly pay for it anyway.

HBO has broken the core contract of branded services (i.e. you get access to everything they make), making the value of a subscription much more difficult to understand. I can go back and watch 7 seasons of Arli$$ from 1996, but not the West World episodes released last year?

I will say I am curious how they plan to market a service where you can't use recent hits in your advertising, because they are no longer available...

Ad hominem arguments don't work very well on this crowd, fortunately. Try criticizing the substance of the article.
In my modestly sized city nowhere near California or New York the problem has nothing to do with building costs and predates the rising costs of building materials. It has everything to do with poor city planning and a lack of building permits for middle income housing. Plenty of over priced McMansions and plenty of half occupied apartments. Not enough normal houses. So the market became irrational. People buying houses site unseen even before COVID. And property values going way up.

Another contributor to the problem was outside speculators buying residential properties. Specifically Berkshire Hathaway and Zillow come to mind. But I'm sure others were doing it too. It should be illegal.
> Another machine, a push down automaton, has memory capability greater than the FSM, but lesser than the TM.

What you've written is correct, but someone who's not reading carefully might mistake "capability" for "capacity". Both pushdown automatons and Turing machines have infinite storage capacity, but the Turing machine can seek to any position in its infinite tape while the pushdown atomaton can only access the top of its infinite stack.

Looking at a map and doing basic a->b route planning is straightforward. Doing it well is a skill. Finding yourself when you don't know where you are and have limited landmark info, and using the cartographically-significant features of the map to plan a route that avoids hazards or navigates with tolls, highways, and rest-stops in mind are very much a skill that needs to be practiced even if the MO is simple at first.

I don't know if you have glanced at a Periodic Table recently, but Lithium is on the far left hand side and far distant from anything marked "rare earth" much less the "rare earth metals" (which are primarily just right hand of the center-line). As element number 3 on the periodic table it's also per some basic interesting Big Bang statistics the third most common element in the universe. Admittedly most of the universe's Lithium at this point has settled into various compounds which are regularly called "salts" (a short, common name, because they are so common), though household table salt is usually Lithium's "big brother" on the periodic table Sodium, but Lithium itself is still just about as common as dirt on this planet even if don't tend to sprinkle it haphazardly on our foods.
I usually update my iDevices as soon as the update is out, but this time around I'm going to let automatic updates do its thing. I'm curious to see how long it actually takes for updates to be automatically installed. I assume the vast majority of people aren't keeping track of the latest iOS news.
I can watch Disney shows for a month, cancel for 4 months, and then come back and maybe have enough content for another month. We're talking one or two movies and a TV show. It's simply not enough.

My mother spent 6 weeks sedated with Fentanyl, on top of Alzheimer's. After a few days I realized she would survive. But she was in a hellish state for over a year, hallucinating and constructing parallel realities.

Why? It has too much personal info (in spite it's anonymous). Are you going to use it for a startup? For the university? Are you in the marketing section of a big photo stock company?

Edit: Also the open ended question are probably going to make everyone skip the questionnaire. I'd like to tell I like animal, but I'm not sure I want to use my time to write an explanation.
I'm not making fentanyl a scapegoat, just look at the US drug overdose statistics, especially the huge jump around 2020. Fentanyl is eclipsing every other opioid, synthetic or otherwise. It alone is responsible for what is quickly becoming the deadliest drug epidemic of all time.

There's good reason for my harsh criticism, and I don't think most people truly realize how bad the situation is.

How to Get Started Filling 3.4M Cybersecurity Jobs
Individually the reasons given sound weak, but they make some sense if you see it as some self-reinforcing trend: the 2020 chess spike fueled by Corona and Queen's Gambit has put chess back into public consciousness and caused content creators to produce more chess content. That set the scene for the next wave, which was catalyzed by the cheating scandal bringing chess into mainstream media for a couple weeks, and creating narratives for people to follow. This has lead to chess related gifts and chess related social media posts, which reinforces the chess trend. Events like chess boxing probably helped, but are mostly a symptom of chess being more mainstream right now.
Others have covered it here, using masks, multiplies, or horizontal operations to avoid branching by running the logic for all of the branches is common in vectorized code (and shader operations for similar reasons), where raw compute outruns branch mis-prediction costs for deeply pipelined processors.

In older SSE architectures, memory alignment and register-to-register result latencies sometimes made it easier/better to stride operations on partially-masked registers rather than reorganize the data. With high architectural register counts and newer shuffling instructions, that need is lower.

Definitely avoid branching in tight compute code, though. Branching kills performance, sometimes in very data-dependent and annoying ways.

Tech without education is worse than useless - it provides access to a non-stop dopamine drip which stops people from seeking education.

Not necessarily. Ever notice how your card usually has a bunch of retailers you can pick to get discounts or extra points from? That's not just your bank being generous. That's usually paid for, in one way or another, by those retailers. They're basically sponsored rewards (I don't know what the industry term is). Credit card companies would still get paid transaction fees and get paid for those "sponsored" rewards, so they'd still be incentivized to make you spend more. But I imagine the rewards would be less generous, and perhaps differently structured.
Bingo! Your comment hit the nail in the head.

This also has to do with overall rise in cost of good education and decreasing quality of education in public schools across the board.

Show HN: Guess The Year (of release for music videos)
Hi everyone!

When I was younger, my friend and I used to play a game where we would watch MTV music videos and then try to guess the year of release. Now I’ve turned this childhood memory into a real game as an attempt to put my recently learned programming skills to use. I invite you to play along because I promise, you’ll have a blast!

Let me know if you have any questions.

Cheers!
Lichess has less chess variants, less learning content (made by IMs and GMs), and has some gameplay differences:

- on chess.com you can premove multiple times, each premove consume 0.1s on the clock
- on lichess, you can premove only one time, but it does not consume time on the clock

Also the player pool being different, the rankings are not equivalent, and chess.com's player pool is bigger.

Also, from personal experience (so this is only anecdotal), the most toxic players (insulting in the chat, or ragequitting, ...) I met were on lichess.

Comments of the form "X is better than Y" are subjective and do not add any value/information to the discussion.
A complete chess game should be a very limited amount of data. I am finding conflicting reports that a typical chess game is 40 to 70 moves.

That being said, if any service suddenly saw a doubling of users within a month, plenty of sub-optimal architecture decisions can suddenly fall on their face which were otherwise adequate at the previous scale.

The game reviews are really nice to quickly see the key points of the game. Plus the UI all over is better than Lichess. That and network effects explain the rest.
NASA spent no money developing pencils. They bought a batch of already-existing mechanical pencils, from a regular pencil manufacturer, and they paid too much. The total bill came to something around $140 per pencil, for a total expenditure of just over $4,000. This caused an outcry and eventually evolved into the "millions of dollars" urban legend.
I don't get the problem. If you applied for an infra role, you are clearly not representing their target market, but they want you to show an infra thing on some VMs. And it makes sense for them to let you run those VMs on their platform, where they can easily pay for it?
I think implicit here

> This was almost a year delay and added cost overruns, etc. It also made the required rent higher to recoup those costs and try to be profitable (that deal will lose money).

is the 'try to be profitable' that implies they did end up raising rent higher than otherwise planned, but you are right that this isn't necessarily true.
I mean...did we really think the vast, perfectly square construction projects, filmed with expensive cameras were in fact roughing it alone out in the wilderness?

The first feature is available both on the browser version and mobile (click maximize button to enter a split view).

The second is more or less possible on the mobile app since recent versions, if you access the street view from the route steps. They have worked in improving this UI very recently, a few months ago it was unusable and now it's pretty intuitive.

The third one is also available on mobile, with the Live view feature that appears during walking routes.
I guess you have just understood what I am talking about.

If the media is intend on lying and mass manipulation, that media exactly should not have the support of well meaning people.

finally move on from the SNES aesthetic

Why do we need to move on from the SNES aesthetic? Can’t it coexist with other styles? To me, it feels like someone saying “maybe we’ll finally move on from classical music.”

Now if there’s some other retro style you want to support then I fully embrace that. I love the look and feel of HOMM3 and would love to see new games done in that style. But there’s no reason to abandon a style like 8-bit or 16-bit pixel art if there’s plenty of people who enjoy it.
> Bob did not receive an asset that Alice previously stole from Carol

Yes like how we have perfect tracking of physical assets today

> If Bob received an asset as income, then he needs to pay a portion of it in taxes to continue receiving water, sanitation, emergency services, etc.

Yes like how the IRS has perfect tracking of every dollar bill in the US

> The asset Bob received isn't evidence of a crime (such as terrorism or child pornography), that while Bob may not have committed, his desire to receive it generated the demand that incentivized the commission of the crime.

Yup. the only way to prevent crime is to violate the privacy of every individual on the planet. We should expose everything that everyone has ever bought to the public so the government can make sure we are behaving.

> you are replacing something that is one of the core building blocks of our society.

I agree. Our society is built on the long standing tradition of the English Monarchy, and we should avoid changing things that fundamental to how we live.

What is the carbon footprint of that lifestyle?
You're not wrong, but addiction is not a certain outcome. Most people who use a substance that can lead to addiction don't become addicted. The question is why can two people, for example, abuse alcohol for a period of their youth, but both don't become addicts?

We need to look at this holistically. Overprescribing is a problem, but we shouldn't be needlessly afraid of these substances. Personally I've been prescribed these medications, I took some and when it stopped hurting I stopped taking them and the bottle sat in my medical cabinet in case I injured myself later. Eventually it expired and I threw it away. It wasn't an issue of will power or anything like that. I just didn't feel the compulsion. I'm the same way with alcohol and other drugs. I enjoy it when appropriate, but I feel no compulsion whatsoever. I, in fact, prefer mental clarity.

But I have people in my life who develop very strong compulsions and become addicted to anything that distracts them from their psychological torments. Reducing access helps, but reducing other circumstances in their life that they may feel the need to numb has to be part of the solution.
