Everyone else that bought something at the higher prices covers the fees when the much smaller number of people request the refund. So it is essentially crowd funded
>But in the cases of both low NFC and high dogmatism, it feels like there's a type of intellectual laziness or cognitive immaturity at play. Almost like "It's too overwhelming for me to actually think this through, so I'm choosing to just not."

NO. You are completely wrong. Dogmatism Is not laziness.

It's fear of social dominance. It's too overwhelming to be humiliated socially by some other person on hacker news so dogmatic people end up taking the dogmatic route in order to defend their integrity. It's purely a social thing, not an intellectual thing.

In fact, it takes more intelligence, more effort, more grit to defend a point that is, in actuality, wrong. It's basically hard mode.

Here's the other thing. sometimes, these "dogmatic" people are actually RIGHT. Galileo was essentially a flat earther during his time. So the reality is nobody really knows the difference between dogmatism and high NFC. You could be either, it all depends on whether you're in actuality right or wrong.

>But in the cases of both low NFC and high dogmatism, it feels like there's a type of intellectual laziness or cognitive immaturity at play. Almost like "It's too overwhelming for me to actually think this through, so I'm choosing to just not."

This is wrong and insulting. Because the fact of the matter is most people have extremely high dogmatism. Who on the face of this earth will believe in something for 10 years and suddenly flip that belief in an instant when presented with solid evidence that the belief isn't true? Nobody. Because everyone is dogmatic.

99.99% of all debates and arguments on Hacker news are people finding evidence support a point, not using evidence to find a point. Key difference. People just don't function like that.

And, unfortunately, neither do you.
I'm using it for summarization and classification of big texts and it's showing a hit-ratio bigger than human analysts. I'm satisfied with it as is :)
Exactly. With how good home setups are these days, I only go to the theater now for a premium experience, while in my youth, I would go every weekend to hang out with friends or court a girl. I only visit 2 theaters in my city and find only a handful of their auditoriums (main imax) as acceptable.
Google's plus codes are open source and probably more useful than What Three Words: https://maps.google.com/pluscodes/

I think they are a better solution because they are hierarchical (removing the right most character of the code gives you a larger region encompassing the longer code) - that means that nearby places will have codes with similar prefixes. They also exclude visually similar characters, making them easy to read and handwrite.
In commercial applications you'll see R-290. It's often used in low temperature applications, like ice cream display freezers. I've seen them in gas stations and pizza shops quite a bit.
> Apple Silicon → ARM not cheap

Well, maybe not cheap, but certainly cheaper.

"Apple’s move to M1 chips will save $2.5B this year, estimates IBM exec"

https://9to5mac.com/2020/11/18/apples-move-to-m1/

Apple even passed some of those cost savings on to consumers, most of the comparable M1 models were ~ $100 cheaper than the much slower Intel models they replaced. And Apple being Apple, if they passed on that much, their total cost savings almost certainly were significantly higher.
I have a fairly small apartment where I live with my wife and two kids (7 & 13). I read/write a lot while commuting by public transport.

Work from home is a nightmare for me, even though I have to commute 10+ km to the office.

I mean, to each his own – I don't have any problem with you loving working remotely. But please do not forget that people are in various situations. (I'm not claiming you do, just wanted to mention another perspective.)
I don't think the point is to have equal power between the parties, but that the party with more power should be prevented from wielding that power abusively.
I've trained a few models with different data that I keep separate but I haven't made a frontend for any of them. I just access them via command line so this does sound helpful.
Playing with Nix did increase my interest in functional programming, which was very new to me when I started using Nix.

But I've never gotten around to learning Haskell, and I don't think Nix is just for FP people.
These have codes GG, JE, IO.

Claims of Antarctic territory aren't recognised internationally, so the codes were removed, but it used to have the code BQ.

Even one of the most non-style sites on the web, Craigslist, has a stylesheet.
As someone not familiar, I'm just getting a sense of ad hominem. I didn't think 'social media = bad' was a conservative view as all my peers (a good mix across the political spectrum) are mostly in agreement that social media sucks.
You haven't read the whole article. The most bewildering thing about this is that they used to have formal addresses in the past.
Who is 'they' in your equation here? Also, tell me how a small merchant services business is going to get an insurance plan that covers something like that? This isn't 3% revenue on one single event, it could be on a number of events. What if a multi-event promoter goes out of business?

This also isn't just events, that is only one example. Any 3rd party merchant service provider is going to be affected.

Back when I had my events company, we went with WePay because they were the only service at the time that offered 'free' refunds. Eventually, it became the norm. Now it seems like this policy is getting reverted and that's going to have a large impact on merchant service providers.
It's not drift. Time passes more quickly on the moon, to such an extent that there are 56 microseconds more each day on the lunar surface than on Earth. This is a an effect of general relativity.

For everyday human-scale stuff, sure this doesn't matter. For precise scientific and industrial use cases, it does.

Nicaragua is similar, and in Managua it's even more convoluted with things like:

> From where the old Franciscan church used to be, 2 blocks towards the lake and 1 block and 50m up

Where you have to know a historical landmark, that "towards the lake" is North (even if the lake isn't in sight), and "up" is not up a hill but rather the direction in which the sun comes up.
I wonder how consumers developed that expectation? I don't think that expectation is actually more than 20 years old...
> This...does not match history.

I've been writing web code since 1997ish, so...

> There was never a golden era like you describe (it was a time of conflicting philosophies, people saying "eh, let's add this, that would be sweet", and browser vendors competing to add as much as possible to out "innovate" each other and the limited specs)

I did not describe a golden era of HTML, because a golden era of HTML never happened. Instead, it was precluded by the introduction of JS/CSS. Had JS and CSS never been invented, we might have achieved a golden era of HTML, but we would have needed web standards to mature before that could happen. What happened was, web standards did mature, but they matured to serve websites rather than users. As a result, mature web standards center around JS and CSS, leaving HTML anemic and weak.

What we have now is a time of conflicting philosophies, with websites competing to add as much as possible to out "innovate" each other. Users still suffer the same inconsistent interfaces they did in 1997, it's just that instead of browsers being inconsistent, it's websites that are inconsistent.
Being a bit hand-wavey, Deno's approach sounds like full-stack JS converging to PHP-like patterns, which wouldn't be a bad thing.
I’m heading in this direction too. It’s ridiculous. I don’t tip for any kind of pickup order. And only tip service people such as waiters, bar staff, and delivery people.
“I want to believe something is true so therefore it is true”. I actually respect the honesty here. Most people think this way but would never admit it.

“Cogito ergo est”
"Thinking Fast and Slow" seems to cover some of the same ground, especially Kahneman's and Tverski's Type II or slow thinking, though I think they approach thinking more as a means to solve problems (i.e. decision making/economics) rather than personality and how one sees the world (i.e. perception, attitude, and cognition). But Kahneman does discuss one's personal willingness to employ Type II, which should intersect with NFC.
The time between events is different as measured on the Moon than on Earth. That's what is being talked about here.

This is true to a large extent in India. My childhood home address in a very small town was something like "person name, behind government hospital, town". Even in the cities, depending on the city, it is usually a combination of number and cross streets (e.g. #50, 5th Main, 6th cross). If you aren't familiar with the area, there are ten different 5th mains and it is always a bit of a crap shoot finding the right one.
> There’s potential danger when pranksters alter Wikipedia entries, or fraudsters publish scientific papers with bogus data, but the truth eventually comes out.

Pranksters? No, the danger is the people with power meddling with information. They start wars, not pranksters. But there's nothing that can be done about that so it's pointless talking about it.

> The scientific-historical record of accumulating human knowledge has grown steadily for ten thousand years. Yes some information gets lost, some gets proven wrong, some is disputed, and some gets hidden when winners spin the facts to flatter themselves.

"Scientific-historical"? Almost all historical information ( written record ) is lost. Less than 1% of all written text from ancient greece and rome survived. Also it's not a matter of the winners hiding facts that's the issue, it's the winners pushing particular "facts". Take the civil war. It was a war where one side had slave states and the other side was the confederacy. Yet we are told that it was a war to end slavery. Have fun squaring that circle.

> But despite the system’s flaws, until now it’s worked fairly well to maintain our shared understanding about what’s real and what’s true.

Our understanding of what's real and true is solely a function of who is in power. Same as it always has been and always will be.

It doesn't matter whether the tool is spoken language, written language, printing press, radio, tv, social media or AI. Knowledge "pollution" is what societies and nations breath to survive. The only struggle is the fight over who gets to pollute.

Even further, you don’t really know something until you can teach it
But it's not a "hitherto conjectured form of symbiosis". It's just another example of facultative lichenization, which has already been observed in species quite widely scattered across the fungal kingdom. That to me doesn't count as a "new type of coexistence". The actual research behind the headline is valuable and entirely worthy of publication (I've made similar contributions myself), my critique relates to the headline, the angle of the reportage.
I think they could potentially make this cheaper for larger deployments with multicast-like down link packets.

So if someone has 10,000 devices to update, this might be doable with one stream.

Wouldn't help a hobbyist or small batch IOT device.
Sure if you have $50k for a car, can charge at home, and want to drive 300 miles without charging then you need 1 ton (or so) of batteries.

But as electrification improves, more charging stations, better autonomous driving, car sharing services that don't require drivers, etc. The size of batteries can shrink and the number of people that need dedicated cars will decrease.

A self driving EV could be significantly cheaper than human driven Uber/Lyft, allowing more people to opt in only as needed, which makes public transit more feasible.
You can get a trim tab that "works" but doesn't "stay" in position (one of the walk-around checks on a small plane it to set the trim max in one direction, make sure it moves correctly when you move the stabilator, set in the other direction, recheck) but you can't reach them on a large jet.

There have been cases where the ONLY thing working on the tail was the trim tab, the yoke cables broke - you can land a plane with only the trim if you really need to.
> Plex works on iOS and video game consoles doesn't?

As long as that remains permitted by Apple/Sony and your government, yes. If either of them decide to ban Plex or VLC, it will become effectively impossible for most people with normal levels of motivation and technical know-how.

> You can install VLC or similar software on your iOS device and watch a downloaded mkv.

Presently, you can. And yet presently, relatively few people do.

These sort of bans aren't ever 100% effective; you'll probably always be able to squeeze through the cracks if you try hard enough. That guy in Japan managed to make a homemade shotgun that was good enough to kill the ex-PM, but the simple fact remains that gun control generally works in Japan. And so do anti-piracy measures even today, before the full technical means of authoritarian control have even been brought to bear.

Locked bootloaders exist and mostly work. The fact that you can presently buy computers without locked bootloaders doesn't change the fact that the technical means of control have been demonstrated to work. Political policy is all that protects us today.
We can't have nice things because in the real world most EDA designs are pretty naive and it's painful to look at them.

If your events are pure telemetry - samples of some data, some event that is standalone like a click, etc. - then life is easy. A missed event is no big deal, most of the time, and if it is you need some message-transactional, lossless event delivery mechanism, assuming you can pay the cost in performance or $, but those are both pretty easy concepts and people can mostly go from zero to understanding them in a day.

And here is where the trouble starts.

A lot of events in the real world are actually events that represent statefulness in the form of what are basically a log of state machine transitions, even if (because people don't really know how to build such systems) the modeling is not explicit.

In an ideal world with some publisher A and some end receiver C with perhaps some number of pipeline processors B, as long as the path from A to B to C is such that no drops or re-ordering can occur, things are should be fine. A sends to B+, the last stage of B sends to C. All good.

But in the real world, flakiness exists - bugs are _common_ and non-telemetry events are a problem:

* conveyance mechanisms are not actually reliable - they tend to have bugs, and this includes favorites like Kafka
* A, B and C can each have bugs - they might drop a message, they might _do the wrong thing_, they might persist some incorrect state, etc.

This is how you get into the situation I dealt with last month where the SRE team had to occasionally fix rows in the database where due to a bug that lasted for months some rows would be wrong, and sticky wrong because the system didn't have any kind of inconsistency-discovery mechanism even though the state data was always available.

Almost every event-driven system I've seen in the real world lacks the ability to detect this even when the source of truth is available (A, for example). Even a simple re-transmission or some digest of the state to detect inconsistency between the bottom and the top layers is routinely absent. It's pretty bad.

By analogy, anyone who has done low-level work will be familiar with the very different classes of events that are usually called "edge triggered (notified once, lost after)" or "level triggered (visible for as long as the state persists)"; more broadly there are stateful and non-stateful. Level triggered is _always_ easier to deal with because you can implement periodic self-check to recover in the event that an ephemeral bug has caused the event to be lost or mis-processed. There is incredible irony in the fact that big complex EDA systems have lost the thread on what is, in fact, the easy case.
Leftconomics at work.
USA is a country with one language, one economy and 330 millions people.
When you create a company there you automatically unlock a bigger market than EU, the comparison is not fair.

Also, anecdotally, SMS was invented in europe so no need to regulate something already open and european.
I didn't not understood my world very well and started in school to question everything.

I later learned that my world view has a logical layer.

In contrast others around me have a world view learned by their surroundings.

That made it for me so much clearer why people can life with logical conflicts.

Like the gay people still want to be part of the church.

Or acting different in similar situations.

Or stealing.

> they are required to look out for the interests of their shareholders.

There is an incredible amount of leeway here; He could argue that having employees that are unionized and happier means they will be more productive, and improve the brand image which is more valuable in the long run than having to slightly raise wages and pay a few more benefits.

But that further solidifies your last point.
Physical screen damage plagues non certified screens. Between that and dead pixels and the other issues outlined in this article, I see one of them on almost every screen that doesn’t have some kind of technology subtitle promising a superior experience.

The one thing my home theater still needs is an ice machine.
"But it's true" isn't a good rebuttal to a stereotype that's based on social factors.

For instance, "Jewish people are good with money" is a social construct, caused by the Catholics banning their adherants from working in banks for centuries. There's no inherent difference between groups as far as being able to do the job. It's the result of centuries of social distortions applied to who can do what job. If the social distortions (which still happen today, often propagated by the stereotype itself) ended, the difference would cease to exist.

It's important to distinguish the difference between intrinsic differences and socially-constructed differences. And we keep discovering more differences are socially constructed than we had previously thought. Even the idea that men are worse at color perception has a significant social component. That's what the OP was referring to - the social construct caused by telling children that caring about color distinctions isn't a masculine trait. Sure, there's also an intrinsic difference, with color perception having a sex-linked genetic component. That is real. But it's not the entire story, and I'd be wary of making blanket statements that assume the intrinsic property is the only one.
This is a solved problem.

I wasn't being literal, just making a point. Like Greg Peters of Netflix was.
To me this is a mirror to the problems, I have seen with my generations parents who grew up on "Fairness Doctrine" media. They were used to fair and balanced Walter Kronkite who by law was required to present untainted news. Many never adapted to news as infotainment and the new requirements around seeking multiple sources and such to understand the actual facts.

Our children have similarly been presented a world where the laws protecting children from aggressive ads have been eroded, the psychology of ads has been ramped up, and ads have been hidden and added to products they never existed in.

As an example, I recently saw a TikTok where a young woman was walking people through her 12 year old sister's skin care and makeup routines. She had hundreds of products just an obscene amount of chemicals and ungents. These products and the need for them is often not pushed through typical ads but testimonials from creators and influencers who may or may not indicate they are being paid to push these products.

Even in the escapism of games, teens are bombarded with in game ads, micro transactions, content partnerships, etc. It used to be fire up Mario Bros and play. It's now fire up Fortnight and here's the store, did you buy a battle pass, how about some skins, you better not be using default skins because then you aren't cool. Buy more, pay more, be the cool kid in the latest skin. Entire teams paid to drive monetization by exploiting the psychology of children and adolescents.

It's non-stop and how does a 12 year old have the critical eye to identify these manipulations when most of their parents don't even understand the worlds and communities they live in.

A phone is just a screen and we have dozens of screens in our homes and every one blasts aggressive psychological manipulation at this vulnerable population who used to be protected.
I think the crux is which side gets to be called "essential". Is it the abstract problem the code is intended for, or is it the real world we're living in. Mike Acton argues for the latter (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rX0ItVEVjHc)

And all this is heat rather than light because there is absolutely a significant fraction of concerns that both sides would agree are utterly incidental/accidental complexity.
Yeah, I misread. But it is often rude and disrupting the conversation, though it can be done tactfully "Oh, I believe it was Ethan Hawke actually". It can also open up room for more conversation "No, I'm pretty sure it was Tom Cruise", where the debate of it becomes the conversation. Which is fine, and still doesn't say anything to me about the trustworthiness of the person who was telling the story. Nor does it necessarily imply they need to be fact checked on Google right now; again, it's tangential to the overarching part of the conversation. I still think using that single measure as a measure of trustworthiness is ridiculous. Especially in a conversation that's not deep.

> The storyteller merely needs to say "Yeah, some of the details are probably off" .

I feel this is an unwritten rule of conversation in general. It certainly is amongst my friend groups, even recounting stories where we were all present. It obviously wouldn't work for debates, or if you were discussing things like political policy, but most conversations don't fall into those types of things. Just sitting around shooting the shit.
> I can't think of the use cases for these modems that use that little data and have that much of a power draw...

Large asset tracking.
It's briefly answered:

> The explanation came from Geovanny Campos of Correos de Costa Rica, the company that manages the country's postal service. As he told Luis Fernando, San José’s growth was characterized by disorder. As the city expanded without following a pattern of rectangular city blocks, the established street numbers stopped making sense.

> Eventually, nobody used them.

Although it doesn't seem like much of an answer.
Sortof. It would behave the same to the observer sitting next to the atomic clock no matter their local frame of reference. The point though is that we have atomic clocks on both Earth and (soon) the Moon, so we need some sort of standard for coordinating between them.
