My vehicle has a couple "dummy" things on the inside as well. Places for plugs and switches and things that are only on other models. Maybe it's something like that? It'll be an upgrade option or on a different model? It's probably much cheaper to make the housing thing to be used in a wider range of models.
I completely agree with you, but you quoted the blog post and left out the most important part of the author's sentence:

> I wanted to see if I had the willpower to cut off all stimulation for an extended period of time.

To be fair to you though, that part of the sentence was preceded with the part you quoted, making it natural to assume that the author believes the solution to his problem of being addicted to what he says he's addicted to is to have zero stimulation. That doesn't mean my assumption is correct though, and it seems even less so given the plain language I quoted above.
I add some limit to the prompt and it is fixed temporally. I was thinking to transform the json struct to a flat struct with no keys before, but worrying about the structure it self can improve the accuracy of translation as context.
I disagree, because I think the scale is relative to the size and complexity of the ecosystem you're touching, not the size of your influence. They're unpredictable and unexpected, and that's why we tend to refer to them as unknown unknowns.

But like you said, they're not necessarily catastrophic or cataclysmic.

Back to the context, I just don't think someone can say for sure that changing the very nature of a thousand square miles piece of land in the middle of some of the least studied terrain types will be great and won't have any bad consequences.
If I hand you a tomato and you've never seen one before, how will "that's a fruit" guide you in your experience? I feel like common sense pragmatism is being ignored here.
I have not yet either. Customer for 10+ years. If they go through with this, I will have to consider small claims court in Taiwan or Japan.
Just take a foreign prepay number and sideload the app :) It won't really stop people.
I have the same tendency to fixate on small, relatively unimportant tasks when faced with unrewarding difficult work. The technique I’ve used to channel this to my benefit is to “take a break” from such work by accomplishing mundane tasks, which tends to help me feel more overly productive about a work session.
Conversely, they’re very sensitive to having their capital liquid compared to bigger companies that may have multiple banking relationships or access to credit markets in case of short term issues.
Not OP but a well-typed codebase means you have to remember less, your broken code gets caught before you even run/compile it, and you can just lean on the type system to write the code for you.

And TypeScript has a much more expressive type system compared to Go, Java, and frankly most languages. Java in particular still has pretty bad type reification (where ArrayList<Integer> and ArrayList<Float> are essentially the same and cannot be used to overload methods, for example).

I use a lot of the utility TypeScript functions (i.e. Partial<>, Record<>) and it catches all sorts of mistakes that might be made by myself in the future or someone not familiar with the codebase. For example, if there has to be a A->B mapping somewhere, I would type B so it would raise a type error if something was added in A but not B. Most type systems are not flexible enough to do anything remotely like that and instead you have to write a bunch of tests where you end up 20 lines of very basic test code for 1 actual line of code.
They included Brave's affiliate ID, not the users. I think. So, it didn't reveal anything "new' (for fingerprinting) or anything that can identify the user.
As I said, if there were a pattern of behavior here I'd disagree. I'm taking issue specifically with your pre-emptively shutting the down some comments citing the risk of flamewars. The price of being wrong is an occasional flamewar, not the sudden death of HN.

And don't get me started on the shallow dismissals and the slur about age.

Those abound on any thread about the Supreme Court or Congress interpreting or making laws about technology and I can't recall your ever intervening. I have brought the issue up many times because your moderatorial interventions seem very partial, not to mention the fact that you're addressing a 10-year participant in the HN community like a new arrival.
>but it really does feel like something very experimental for now

Meaning?

- their approach is still bizarre and exploratory and they still don't know how to structure their APIs and are making it up as they go?

or:

- there are still some rough edges, bugs, and no full documentation yet?

as those are quite different cases...
The first banks just stored your money and charge you for it, until somebody had a brilliant idea.
> cool things you can do with TS types that aren't common in most statically typed languages

like what?
If this becomes common, sites could make link cleaning impossible. They can do this just by commingling the actual content ID the link addresses with the tracking information. Facebook has already started doing this in some places [0].

For example, Facebook posts now have opaque IDs that are unique per-user. This makes it impossible to remove the tracking information and still keep a valid link. For a news site, where they want their content to be indexed by crawlers, it might not be possible to block all non-unique links, though they could certainly make it harder. We'll see what the future holds...

[0] Example of a Facebook post with an opaque per-user unique URL: https://www.facebook.com/pfbid02xQBbtJYKpp8V5j5my5jaWUVij7XC... ( Facebook will know which account shared this URL and there's no way for me to stop them o_O )
because your childhood is still ongoing lol
In this case the ecosystem in question has even less in the way of native plants and animals (to my understanding) than the semi-arid American Southwest landscapes usually examined in research papers on the topic. But yes the general point holds that a cost-benefit analysis is worthwhile, though here it likely is quite net-good.
If you think natural desertification is bad then you should be fine with climate change. It'll create more growing area due to higher temps.

You seem to have a bit of cognitive dissonance happening with your thought process here.

You want climate change if it's caused by "green energy" but not if it's caused by fossil fuels? Is that your stance?
I really dislike how unpredictable the typescript compiler can be. What I mean is, there isn’t a simple set of rules I can understand to know when annotations will be required. Most of the time, this doesn’t matter, but occasionally it blows up and development comes to a screeching halt. Contrast this to, say, Java and ML type-systems, which are highly predictable.
Unfortunately not true, at least for wind energy in europe. It tends to fall (or blow) all over europe at the same time.

And, even worse, the wind tends to stop blowing in winter when it is extremely cold (highest demand days) and there is virtually no solar. It's becoming a serious problem in Northern Europe.
TLDR: He was obsessed with a beautiful young woman who was being pursued by probably multiple other men way above his station. She seems to have barely given him the time of day.

So he comes up with this plan to do a movie -- having never done such before -- and have her star in it as his idea for how to try to pursue her. At no point does this piece suggest they were ever an item.

This is an excerpt from a book and it sounds like he was borderline a stalker. Ugh.
The problem isn't insuring the losses, that they can do. The problem is will you even be able to buy anything after the chaos if a systemically important financial institution goes under? The banks that hold the most ordinary customer deposits aren't like Lehman Brothers and the fallout from one of them going under would be catastrophic on a level far beyond something like 2008.

FDIC was invented for the great depression when banks were not as large or concentrated, nor were they as globally connected and intertwined with day to day business. The reality is that FDIC is far from being sufficient insurance to calm down a collapsing market, that's why we had to do bailouts in 2008, because of what was coming down the road in that regard if the contagion were to spread further.
It is not free, it is included with the purchase. I think that is quite a difference.
Everyone knows that a ship with four smokestacks can't sink, so obviously a car with three cameras isn't going to crash.
Correct, but those financial products don't have a tendency to combine in weird ways the way interest bearing systems do.
The problem is you have 10 different options that all require rewriting your code and you can't share code with anyone who used any of the others (and almost all of them are still pretty slow compared to C++/Julia)
Well, he created electron for Atom. Atom itself was never a part of vsc. VSC was targetting the browser for a while before electron came along
One of the pictures in the article shows one of those giant mirror arrays. They have one in the Eastern CA desert near Vegas. They reflect all the energy in a big circle into a single point, which when you look at it is at like, a near-sun-level of brilliance, where it (presumably) boils lots of water to run turbines or whatever.

Perhaps they're going to use those instead of all the rare earth complexity that is photovoltaics.
Incident update: cache configuration change leading to account vulnerability
“tesla reuses old plastic molds for new car models” is a much less interesting title, though.
Of course the Church has a well-known teaching with regard to this activity. Just like the Church has a specific teaching about artificial contraception. So the Church obviously says specific things about specific things.

The point is that the identical moral reasoning process is being applied consistently to all people, namely, sexual activity is to be avoided outside of a marriage open to children. Gay people are not being targeted by some sort of religious moral carve-out.
I think that's a possible answer worth discussing , but nothing precludes that now. There's a reason why people don't crowdsource shares in their house when they want to buy it or if they're business when they create it. Sometimes they would rather pay the interest than share their asset. Sometimes there is a lack of Interest in people wanting a steak
Go has it's own fundamental problems. Something very basic that turns me off is what happens to the original slice when appending to a it (done by calling append(slice, item) and using the result). Does it get modified? It may or it may not. Either one would be useful, but this way nobody else can hold a reference to the slice because it becomes useless to them.
This pre-supposes a pretty radical (yet normalized nowadays) economic philosophy: that growth per se is good.

A more nuanced approach would be to value and triage lending opportunities according to how much they contribute to the heating up of the economy, and how much opportunity for future sustainability they provide.
Not the OP, but I probably go through a Microsoft Sculpt Ergonomic every 24-36 months. The wrist-rest also gets gross after a while.

Mostly it's spills, but sometimes also a crumb or something stuck under a key and me breaking the switch in the process of trying to clean it.

I think I also have one where I just physically lost the wireless dongle. I have some spare ones from the _other_ ones I killed, but AFAICT they're "securely" paired at the factory and there's no way to reprogram those.
I agree. I feel like sketching in JS and solidifying in TS is super productive. Being able to go from a plain old JS object to a type is really satisfying. I feel like full stack TS might be a great choice for new web projects. And if you find a bottleneck, you could rewrite in Rust.
In bad times (like covid/recessions), SVB has extended lines of credit to many VC-backed startups.

It's been a mutually beneficial relationship for 40 years.
most of the jobs are also by definition temporary, many of them, one-off
Yes, geographic redundancy is a great thing.

It's not even seasonality - it's just weather. It's extremely rare to find a place that gets no wind and no sun and has nowhere within say 1000km that doesn't have a different weather pattern.

Mountains and water bodies are things that affect weather, and generally population centers are separated by them.
Changing the natural state of the desert environment is good for the environment? the desert is full of plants and animals that are adapted to it already.
This is a really interesting period, when what we think of as modern ideas about governance and human rights were coffee-house conversation and the seeds of revolution across Europe were being sown. Although I think appropriating the title from the original is a bit much, I think this sounds like an interesting history and one formed from a more diverse crowd of contributors. One can only read so much Pepys.
You kind of push the ice off the plane from underneath. More efficient
Indeed, but my point is more about the assumption that a URL to a public web page is shareable. I don't know that this is every explicitly mentioned in any of the RFSs, but it seems like an undeniable assumption given that the point is for it to be a resource locator. Technically one of these URLs with tracking and a MAC should still be shareable, I suppose, but the tracking would be useless. Webmasters could go even further and generate one-time-use URLs for every page load in every session. They would still technically be URLs, but similarly would be pretty clearly in opposition to the point of URLs.
Cool concept but unusable for me due to the shortened right shift key. I dislike how so many custom keyboards like cutting that key to save a tiny bit of space. To me, it ruins the ergonomics and feels like it’s placing form over function.
They said these exact words:

> I wanted to see if I had the willpower to cut off all stimulation for an extended period of time.

I think they're crazy, but they're pretty specific about what they were trying to achieve. Personally, I'd much rather spend my time doing what you describe than putting myself into solitary confinement they way they did.
The video and page did not help me to explain what is going on here.

Maybe you could walk through setting up an actual project with Second that solves an issue much better than without?

Agree, the karma below -4 counting, but not being shown would be an issue to calculate the average karma per user — but turns out that it appears submissions only add karma to users total karma, so assuming that it is true submission upvote karma is worth 0.5 regardless of context, then to get the average karma per submission simply sum the karma of all submissions, multiple by 0.5, then divide by count of submissions including the flagged and/or killed submissions; to see those, go to your profile, select show dead. To get the average karma per comment, just take the sum of the submission karma above, multiply it by 0.5, then take that amount and divide it by the count of comments by user including the flagged comments.

If I have missed something, let me know.
DNSControl[1] or another similar tool also helps a lot when moving. My DNS records are configured by a small JavaScript file in a git repository, and I can very easily point it at another DNS provider.

Confirmed - fund told us to pull out. I heard A16Z told their port-cos to stay.
How could that be done?
Well the mechanical keyboards, the key caps start falling off and won't stay on or the crappy lead free solder gives out on the keyswitches. The rubber dome ones, the rubber domes wear out and crap gets in and then it's end of the road. The ones that survive that tend to find out they have a coffee allergy.
Right, but gp was talking about people not businesses
Yup! Sometimes I'll hear a door opening creek or spell casting sound from Morrowind in my kid's youtube videos.

I'm just waiting to hear "wololololo" somewhere now.
I think they should stay but run within a very hard virtual sandboxed environment totally separate from user's system.

That might be the sweet spot. Still not 100% secure and there might be some attack vectors but better than what we have now.
So if I open a bank with a couple million dollars I can make an infinite number of loans??
I would never have thought an undersea cable from the UK to North Africa to be realistic as the voltage is limited, meaning one needs to use more copper for the same efficiency. But since the price tag is already out, I am eager to see how this plays out.

Perhaps instead of energy storage, we will see an intercontinental electric grid.
The NY Fed looked at lending specialization actually improved Bank lending performance https://www.newyorkfed.org/medialibrary/media/research/staff...

This has to do with deposit specialization which I don’t know if it’s been studied, but you could see the same arguments applying to.

We have executable code in our browsers, and that code cannot do a lot of bad stuff, and when it can, it's a huge thing and a very shameful day for browser developers.
How easy is it for a real life poor person to just get $2M to start a farm? Almost everyone I've met with family farm inherited the land which was probably traced back to it being claimed in the frontier days.
The UK is quite northerly. It is at about the same latitude as Alberta, Canada. Morocco and the Western Sahara are at the same latitude as Florida.

In the UK you have a yearly irradiation of about 1000 kWh / m2. In Morocco it is closer to 2450 kWh / m2. This means that the same panels produce over twice as much power. Once you are planning utility-scale solar, it becomes a bit of a no-brainer.

Besides, the vast majority of solar is already located in large arrays due to economies of scale. 50.000 local arrays isn't even an option for utilities. And even if you were to build 50.000 local arrays, each of those arrays would have to be 210 kW - that's close to 600 panels per array!
Owners typically have skin in the game now as do those that provide a loan.

There's a reason that people don't save up the purchase price of a home in order to buy it. They are willing to pay a serious premium in terms of Interest so that they can have a home today instead of waiting 15 years for 30 years in order to purchase a property.

If you want a car to get to a job and make money, you want it now, and are willing to pay more later. Without the car, you wont be able to work and save.
Standing firm against threats to private and safe communication
I didn't say that the scale wasn't relative to the size or complexity. I'm saying that any amount of change in an ecosystem isn't necessarily "bad".

Contextually, I can see why you're a skeptic of this amount of land changing having an undeniable "good" influence, but the size could absolutely not be a factor at all.

I'll use your words but change the last part to illustrate better what I'm saying: "I just don't think someone can say for sure that changing the very nature of a thousand square miles piece of land in the middle of some of the least studied terrain types will be good because...It sounds right and I'll choose that answer even though I don't actually know."

Also saying "changing the very nature of" is quite dramatic.
For anyone coming here now, the comments there got moved here, so no need to check that link.
Those are typically just simple pieces of plastic to fill a hole. There is clearly no function to them.

What seems weird is they went through the effort of installing a nonfunctional yet functional-looking piece.
FTX's actions have nothing to do with what is happening with SVB, it's not even close. Why make a bad parallel?
A lost folks in general (and SV in particular) operate on the principle of "got mine f you". They're comfortable so now we don't need to do anything to make anyone else so. It's a symptom of the greater issue of a lack of empathy.
Lots of mixed opinions on Brave in these comments, very interesting.

I came to use Brave via https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/. Their results on my brave browser instance are very good.

I'll admit I'm imbuing the EFF w/ a lot of confidence here, but a high confidence result from an EFF tool carries weight for me.
No, but there would be a lot more renters.
Your app becore deployment needs a complex monitoring stack making use of many external PaaS products.

Normally you would have a CI/CD pipeline setup that shit before deployment.

But thats super brittle and against GitOps. So you write custom CRDs you can store in repo that abstract away the complexity of the setup but still provide devs with srlf-service approaches to configure their app monitoring for them.

If you start thinking about self-service and gitops - operators become very useful for many things.

So Jim is raising the argument we should train models via videos of the task as a superior route to training, makes sense given Nvidia has a robot warehouse simulator and wants to sell (pickaxe's) to business.
Sounds like a normal conversation with my friends.
No, I pay a lot of attention to content which influences the behavior of 100 million people, especially in a destructive way, especially when that influencing attempt is in itself dishonest. And stop with the ad-hominems. It's not about inferring my or anybody's emotions.
It's about 100m people extolling that sort of book as some bible that it isn't.

There's something zeitgeisty to the book and the reception it got, which is why I keep referencing the Po Bronson speech. Diamond's book an apologia for an entire generation being unreasonable and manipulative, which is noteworthy, just as previous books that captured a zeitgeist.
