Private money wasted usually leads to that entity dwindling away from competition, with the end result (of efficiency) that benefits society at large. Public money wasted takes a much longer time to dwindle away and the end result is usually catastrophic for society at large, i.e. a revolution.

As a European, odds are that you're used to a monoethnic country where "most people", "society", and "government" are kind of interchangeable, and people find it easier to sacrifice themselves for the greater good -- as you say, aspire to the best life for most people, even if it might mean that the decisions being made are not optimal for one's own circumstances.

I myself hail from such a country (though outside of Europe), and you are right that the American viewpoint, or that of any other large, multiethnic country, is quite different. Implementing policies that require taxpayers to support others that are culturally different and therefore harder to empathize with is an order of magnitude more difficult; and it is becoming yet more difficult in America as time goes by, due to the reduced emphasis in assimilating to the mainstream ("white") culture.
We never turned everything into car infrastructure. Other than controlled access highways like interstates that are restricted to motor vehicles that can maintain a minimum speed, all other roads are shared infrastructure that can be legally used by those who are walking or are using vehicles other than cars.

The fact that some people think we need to separate different modes of transportation is the reason why people aren't trying alternative modes of transportation like cycling. Legally, there's a single set of rules of movement that apply to all vehicle drivers:

1. Keep to the right side of the road

2. Yield to through traffic before entering a roadway

3. Yield to oncoming traffic when making a left turn

4. Make right turns from as close as practicable to the right edge of the roadway

5. Make left turns from as close as practicable to the center of the roadway

6. The vehicle in front has the right of way over the vehicle behind (first come, first served).

Follow those rules no matter what vehicle you're using and there really aren't any issues. I've ridden tens of thousands of miles over nearly 20 years on roads and never had a problem by riding in a predictable manner, signaling my intentions in advance, and following those rules.
Make a Bandcamp account and follow users that buy music similar to your tastes. Then, semi-frequently, browse through the feed of everything your followed users have bought recently and sample it until you find something you like. Prune and add followed users as necessary to make it more likely to find something you like.
As good as fanless is not fanless. I want to be able to put my laptop on top of the bed of dust and not have the interior be coated in a second.
This story was as stinky as the subject. It even went out of its way to paint a bunch of obvious certified a-holes as heroes.
NYC is a poor comparison since it too is a quite walkable city. A better comparison might be Cleveland or Chicago, which are much more Americanly unwalkable commuter cities
This I am keen to know as well. If it is safe and comfortable and affordable they might have a hit on their hands.
And you never needed new music ... you just need enough music.

You fill that gap with new music in your youth because of peer pressure and convenience.

Then, once you have enough for a lifetime's repeat listening, barring something really catching your attention, you're done.
Hugo is really nice once you spend some time learning the templating system and how the variables get set up. It does have a learning curve at first, but I don't find any of the alternatives to be as compelling as hugo once you're up and running.
None of the streaming services appear to be standalone profitable, seemingly the only way to turn a profit is via anticompetitive tying of services/software/hardware. Or maybe more ads.

The standalone services have already started making big cuts to their own original content, with HBO Max removing Westworld and Netflix planning to remove Arrested Development, as (profitable) physical media returns: most CDs sold since 2004 in 2022, DVDs returned to overtake Blu-ray, new cassette music releases, etc.
Outside of search and import history, our free version is 100% feature compatible with the paid version. None of the core functionality (including the new AI stuff) requires a paid plan. On a paid plan, you can import and search your full history. On the free plan, you can import and search your last 90 days. See our pricing page for more details (https://www.shortwave.com/pricing/).
Did you go to any of the rural areas around Amsterdam? It's insane how connected they are to Centraal, you can take a bus for 20 minutes and be out in idyllic countryside north of Amsterdam
I will not do software subscriptions at any price for a number of reasons, but the primary two are: it's good avoid any fixed, recurring expenses wherever possible; and I don't want software that I use heavily to stop working when the company decides to drop it, and I don't want software I use heavily to change without my agreeing to it and it happening on my schedule.

Also, long-term, the subscription costs more.

I would much rather pay $500 for software once than pay an ongoing fee that totals the same amount.
>Is this better than Nixon?

Assuming it's true, yes, because:

1) a Presidential candidate, which is to say a civilian who is not commander in chief, pondering a drone strike, which is not a war crime, is not equivalent to a sitting President acting as commander in chief ordering a war crime.

2) The guy Americans voted for instead - the "peacemaker" to Hillary Clinton's "warmonger" - wound up launching even more drone strikes than Obama anyway. Actual ones, not, you know, rhetorical ones.
Looks like they have the most important part in place, the increment before the next iteration.
As others have commented, modern English is a creole made of bits of Anglo-Saxon, Old French, and Norse such that "Anglish" is about as authentic a pure Anglo-Saxon English as the dinosaurs from Jurassic Park are authentic dinosaurs: enough bits and bobs of modern material have been mixed in that it is at best an approximate reconstruction of something that didn't really exist in that form to begin with.

That said, I still giggle when I read "Uncleftish Beholding", as it sounds like how Marvel's Thor might explain human scientific understanding to his buds in Asgard.
We usually asked with only a few turning us down, though we are fairly rural/small town so the builders we interacted with may not have been burned by people that are sue happy or maybe are just smaller and didn't consider that legal aspect.
This reflects poorly on the Chilean secret service, not Nixon. Although as noted, Nixon was very bad.
Maybe Korea's issue (as well as other East Asian countries) issue with a rice-based diet (especially white rice) in the absence of modern levels of consumption of meat or other animal-derived food. While bread (especially whole bread) has some level of protein in and of itself, and Italians have also had cheese and milk available at least some of the time, trying to survive off of a diet of rice and vegetables must be particularly unsuited to growing to your genetic potential. My impression of Korean food is that it would be quite unsatisfying from a nutritional standpoint without the meat, whereas Indian and even Chinese food seem to be a little more nutritious.
I don't really think it destroys the public's faith in institutions, I think the people that are deadset on attacking institutions are destroying the public's faith in institutions by making badfaith arguments such as what we are discussing here
Yeah. My initial thought was "it's going to be very hard to unpick any possible causal relationship of Toxoplasmosis to political affiliation from likely regional and income level variation in Toxoplasmosis, and this study doesn't even control for those.

It's also a study with a low number of participants, and none of the political factors are statistically significant for men and statistically significant for women. Surprised it was published tbh, although I guess it's better to publish inconclusive results to interesting hypotheses than encourage p-hacking...
ERP for the Distribution Industry
I had the exact same experience. Everything that sucked about hugo that I discovered only after a week of trying to do something simple with it was fixed with mkdocs.

It made me appreciate that static site generators look easy up front but are actually a huge amount of work to do right.
I think I'll just get rid of it (give it to the wife or something): there are several things I don't like about it. No USB-C port (sure I could add an adapter), only 1 Gb/s ethernet on the mobo, etc. I'm not even sure I can just put a 5700G in it without having the flashing mobo.

I'll probably build something around an Asus B650-Plus mobo: it's got USB-C stock, 2.5 Gbit/s ethernet, DDR5 (I know it's pricier and boots slower, but it's faster too), etc.

I'll reuse one of the NVMe .2 SSD I've got laying around so the whole build should set me back 1 K EUR (with 32 GB of DDR5), which is quite okay.
I bet there are lots of people that "live" inside their email client all day long. Saving them time and effort will pay off quickly, $108/year is nothing even if it just saves you 30 minutes every day.
> your heuristic doesn't work on my carefully constructed pathological case

This is a bit like writing unit tests, debugging code, and so on.
I think this is a cool idea but why stop at git? Why not expand to any CLI program. Maybe someone already did that.
It's also not like Norman French was a "pure" offshoot of Latin either. It was heavily influenced by the languages of the Franks and Gauls.

That said, what I find really interesting here is that William The Conqueror was only something like 4 generations removed from people whose "French" was more or less still a dialect of Latin.
Taken to the extreme though, I'm going to be taking up employee time asking where something is and eventually stop shopping at a store if it's too frustrating.
Or buy a $0.95 mask.
Not only that, mazda has properly working buttons for infotainment: if you press "nav" or "music" it will bring you back to last one you used. So if I use FM radio and Android Auto maps - buttons leads me where I want them to lead me. So many cars had physical buttons, always lead to built-in apps instead of Android Auto and Car Play.
And so they did. I’d never heard of PSTV but that’s really cool. You can buy them brand new here on Amazon Japan, currently going for JPY50,000.
Netflix is a great example. Price was fine and watching streams was so easy that people forgot torrents. Now, that they increase prices, include ads and prevent password sharing, people remember torrents again.
The studies this paper is based on were started 20 years ago. Does your conspiracy theory include time machines?
So this is interesting. The website that's blocking me is www.internaltemperaturechart.com. I thought there was something wrong with the site until I saw this post.

I can get on gitlab.com and get to their sign in page (which does the Cloudflare check), but it lets me see the login page. I don't have a GitLab account so that's as far as I can go. My own website uses Cloudflare too, so I put the security to "I'm under attack", and tried it. That works too.

I tried in Firefox (with uBlock Origin) and Edge (without). Same results across all three.

From what I can tell, the site that fails only sends and receives to that domain, ruling out a tracking domain I've blocked. It sends out multiple "rays", with what looks like an encrypted payload (and no I'm not reversing the JS, it's heavily obfuscated). There is no response to any of them, the connection is terminated.

On GitLab, which works, one of the rays fails with a 401, but the rest succeed.

Hopefully someone that works at Cloudflare can figure this out for us...
They might be using Python 2.
What’s the implied harm to citizens?
This only holds until it becomes a media story.

"Amazon is aware of the complaints and informs TorrentFreak that it’s working with the people involved to find an appropriate solution."

That's PR speak indicating they won't be reversing this policy and re-adding everyone banned. So now it's an official policy endorsed at a high level and can be criticized as such.
But that's exactly the point - not everything ends up with a high rise on it. Clearly, not enough of a percent of "everything" has a high rise, or there would be no housing shortage! You feel there are too many, but if there was no desire for high rises, no one would build them!
If something is too secret to be in court then isn’t it defective illegal? If you can’t challenge something the government is doing in court how can it ever be legal?
In my opinion, subscriptions for ongoing services (excepting SaaS that has no good reason for being SaaS) are different. They're more acceptable. Subscriptions for software are unacceptable.
> shadows result in cancers

So all basement rental units are going to be banned, right? /s
Instead of a sweetener maybe try a sprinkle of cinnamon in your oats.
What an interesting read. I don’t know about the Hitler diaries.
You know that when you have testable code because you started writing it in such way - you might not have to write all failure modes right away into your test suit.

Then when things go wrong in a way you haven't thought and your test did not cover for it - you can easily add test to cover that case.

One of the workflows in testable code base is "find a bug" -> "write tests to cover the bug" -> "fix the bug" -> "tests passing" -> "your test suit now covers something that was actual bug and should not be ever again".
A lot of people have the same misunderstanding as you.

LLVM has rules about what is legal and what is not legal. If you follow the rules, you get well-defined behavior. It's the same thing in C. You could compile a safe language to C, and as long as you follow the rules of avoiding UB in C, everything is groovy.

Likewise, this is how Zig and other languages such as Rust use LLVM. They play by the rules, and get rewarded by well-defined behavior.
Some EU laws apply in Northern Ireland - I don’t know about laws in this area specifically. If a phone is legal in the EU, the UK may be required under the Northern Ireland Protocol (and the new “Windsor Framework”) to allow it in Northern Ireland. If they have to make a phone legal in Northern Ireland, it will be very hard to ban it in England, Scotland and Wales
For all practical purposes, it is impossible in the current state of security/surveillance video footage.

The example described in the paper in your link is using cameras that are setup to provide very high resolution images of people. It would be like using full-frame portrait images for face recognition, and then expecting that to translate to real-world scenarios where you might only have 20 pixels on a face, and the person is off-axis to the camera.

Gait detection has been discussed for a while, and may definitely be a thing one day, but right now we are barely at the point where pose estimation is a thing in security video. Very far from being able to do high precision pose recognition and sampling over successive frames to model something that would qualify as "gait".
I'm not sure. That's based on this excerpt from Wikipedia[0]:

> Cats excrete the pathogen in their feces for a number of weeks after contracting the disease, generally by eating an infected intermediate host that could include mammals (like rodents) or birds. Oocyst shedding usually starts from the third day after ingestion of infected intermediate hosts, and may continue for weeks. The oocysts are not infective when excreted. After about a day, the oocyst undergoes a process called sporulation and becomes potentially pathogenic.

I guess I was not quite correct -- it may be that it sticks around longer in the cat, but it is only excreted for a few weeks.

For no reason other than it seemed fun, I used this new knowledge to implement my own version of said key-gen, in my choice of dev environment: Swift and Xcode playgrounds. Fun little exercise.

Affordable housing is little better than the drinking fountains for colored people from years past. You don't build affordable housing. You build housing and then prices decrease from the increase in supply. If you're feeling extra bold, you build dense housing to massively increase the supply.
Netdata Paid Subscriptions
Hi Everyone!
We’re thrilled to announce the release of our Netdata Paid Subscriptions as of Wednesday, 22nd of February 2023. But for those who would not yet want to upgrade, fear not, as Netdata offers the Community plan which will remain free, forever.

The new paid subscriptions provide additional features and capabilities for users and businesses that need tighter and customizable integration of the monitoring solution to their processes. In addition to our free COMMUNITY plan we have two other plans to choose from: PRO and BUSINESS.

The new subscriptions will expand the Role Based Access model, allowing users and businesses to have finer grained control over who has access to what part of the infrastructure and how.

You can choose the subscription that best fits your needs from the Plan & Billing section within the Space Settings. More details can be found on the Pricing Page at https://www.netdata.cloud/pricing/.

Note: All existing spaces will automatically be kept on, what we call, the Early Bird plan, so you can seamlessly continue monitoring and troubleshooting your infrastructure as you are doing today!

Thank you very much and have a nice day! Happy monitoring!

Nixon for life apparently. Stone has a tattoo of Nixon on his back.

This was not the situation as I understood it based on the conversation with the guy.

Most of the products he is paying for either a) reduce labor costs (like a cell based system that distributes pesticide) or b) reduces the risk of product loss (cherries being insanely delicate and sensitive to subtle changes in temperature and humidity).

Because he is paying for the products as-a-service, he really doesn't care about being locked in on the equipment so long as they pay for themselves.
No practical examples are ever given for the replacement of aging infrastructure or reuse of still perfectly good infrastructure

It did mention how things took a step forward with the uprising of parklets and on-street dining during the COVID pandemic. My town still has much of the on-street parking replaced by outdoor dining spaces, making an area that would have served a couple cars for the evening into an area enjoyed by a dozen people.

Change is possible if we want to make the change.
> Yet somehow everything ends up paved over with a high rise on it eventually, like it or not.

I'd like to know what definition you're using for "everything" here because the vast majority of residential land is zoned exclusively for single-family homes and indeed that's mostly what gets built.
Why is this Chinese propaganda on the HN front page? /s

I've been very impressed with a lot of the contemporary Chinese games and media that I've encountered - I don't play multiplayer games though, which seems to be their mainstream. There seems to be a lot less overt sexualization and more emphasis on aesthetic and storytelling in the RPG scene. Honestly, I wish I could get anything from Japan or the US where female characters wear clothes.
Less competition = a worse product. Figma is great and that’s entirely due to disrupting business from adobe. Allowing adobe to buy them means Adobe doesn’t have to innovate and can remain hyper dominate.
CoffeeScript for TypeScript
It's not ridiculous, "1 to 5" translates into it starts with 1 and ends with 5, and both versions are ambiguous on the point of including the endpoint or not. In a programming context, it seems "clear" that it's ambiguous or down to convention.
So that's what W3C, Inc. is onto these days? I thought they were into standardizing HTML etc., meaning they follow a process to take HTML review drafts from the whatwg github repo ultimately to recommendation status these days? At least that's what their HTML WG charter says they do in Februars, but they didn't, when last year their review resulted in Steve Faulkner's major edit of the HTML spec to get rid of novel heading level interpretation and the so-called "outlining algorithm" - one of the original innovations that came with Ian Hickson's HTML5.
I think the measure of this would be "would this make me more than $9 a month more efficient" and "is there any alternative that is a better cost/benefit", i.e. a free tool that is mostly as good. For you it might be useless, for someone who lives on gmail and charges per hour, it's probably an instant win.
That is true, but that happens on my terms. And there are also drawbacks on being on the very latest of everything.

Examples include: becoming a de-facto beta tester for new features, having UI elements change non-intuitively at a critical moment, software becoming incompatible with older input, etc. You also have to choose between paying for the software or discontinuing its use permanently.

With an old version, I can just go use whatever VM or machine I need to convert files, modify them, perform last-minute changes on my paper that’s due in the morning or whatever.

I’ll also point out most of the subscription plans are annual, lump sum plans, otherwise your monthly is even higher. So you get the worst of both worlds: having to pay a de-facto lump sum (which renews automatically annually), and not having the right to use it once you cancel it.
I believe I understand your point now. Thanks for clarifying.
This is obviously Amazon putting intentional pressure on powerless authors (they wouldn't dare with a title from one of the multinationals) to go after book piracy with a bunch of individual lawsuits that Amazon will be happy to help the authors with and to finance. Typically cynical behavior.
The entire article you linked is dedicated to how hard it is to fit crypto into the existing regulatory framework. All of the questions about crypto in that article apply to NFTs, but even more so.

I don’t really buy the argument that the seller’s marketing of an NFT is what makes it a security. There has to be more to it than that.

I go into this a bit more in our blog post from today [1], but we believe LLMs are going to transform how we interact with email. Yes, you still need a solid inbox with labels and contacts and push notifications and everything else that email clients like Shortwave offer. And we will continue to iterate on and nail that experience. But these new tools allow us to push the boundaries of what can be done with email, and we intend to do just that.

[1] https://www.shortwave.com/blog/ai-email-summaries/
80% of all emails are gmail? So yeah technically you’re right but actually they are.
This is patently untrue. Cities like LA and SF should have high rises everywhere, but instead they have 1 story homes from 1955 selling for $2 million.
I don't get those scrap metal collectors..

Spend $40 in gas driving around all day to get $20 worth of scrap steel.
