Billionaires should be banned from speaking on anything other than their areas of expertise.

They get an outsized platform to spout absolute nonsense on topics outside their core expertise.
It's not politicization if it's true.
I suggest you to use medium(https://medium.com) for this purpose. and you can also use Blogger.

And if your wife wants to know how to write travel blog stories then you must visit Top Travel Advice (https://toptraveladvice.com/blog/).
And if you don't find any trustable place to post your travel stories then you can also post your stories on this site as a guest posting.

hope this will be helpful for you and your wife.

One of the others understated pros of rewriting some parts in Rust, it's that you can parallelize easily with Rayon[0]

I had my firstborn from my new fully WFH job, in the middle/tailend of the pandemic.

It has totally been a blast having the little one around. I work in my living area which is open plan into my kitchen, so I get to see her learning how to eat out of the corner of my eyes when I'm in work meetings, etc.

My personal suggestion: if you're working from home with children, don't try and seperate and go into the study; do the opposite, being out work and make it a part of every day. It's like the photos of your family you have on your desk, but in real life.

YMMV.
People have persevered in the most abject conditions, it doesn't mean it's a noble thing to make more people go through it.
He is pointing out the voters perspective which is valid and rarely reflected on social media since it is innately selfish.

At it's core this is a social issue that is swept under the rug for decades since the real solutions requires harsh reform that will likely destroy careers for pursuing it.

Drugs are a strong form of control, not just for the peddlers but to appease the masses from their painful reality, something that certain branches might like with AI and stuff reducing the usefulness of labor.
Having read through the bill[1], yeah: I'm in support of the bill.

The bill specifically covers companies and businesses ("entities") held by "foreign adversaries" with more than 1 million "active users" or "units sold" in a given 365 day period, so the scope is narrow; the bill doesn't permit wanton authority over businesses period.

Neither is the "VPNs will be blocked!" narrative anything more than a narrative, propaganda. The cited passage, section 11 subsection 2 paragraph F is boilerplate legalese prohibiting violation ("evasion") of the bill and any subsequent actions that come from it.

This together with the Chinese propaganda machine seemingly going full bore convinces me even harder in seeing this bill passed into law.

If you refactor the GetSalesAndUseTaxForState function to an async function, you can optimize it further with this:

ConcurrentDictionary<string, double> taxMap = new ConcurrentDictionary<string, double>();

await Task.WhenAll(migrantList
.SelectMany(m => m.StatesTraversed)
.Distinct()
.Select(async s => taxMap.TryAdd(s, await GetSalesAndUseTaxForStateAsync(s))));

migrantList.ForEach(mti => Console.WriteLine($"Total Relocation Fee: {mti.StatesTraversed.Sum(s => taxMap[s]) + mti.TotalMilesTravelled * .15}"));

This gets pretty close to negligible overhead. The above ran in 0.519s, including the .5s await time of the "API" call.

I just wanted to show that there's an optimized solution that is also more concise in C#.
And that context is largely politics. There is no reason why Java could not have manipulated the DOM.

Plastic bags do not genererate a lot of carbon emissions, but the do cause a lot of problems in waterways. Even in places where there is almost no littering, sure enough, there are plastic bags or there remnants just about everywhere if you look for them.

In other places it's just a shit-show, which caused them to be banned.
Exquisite and thrilling, thanks! But Tuvan throat singers say hold my beer.
I’m assuming this is and will be a classic example of the “First they came for….” Quote where it goes through the list of ‘others’ that is not oneself then, at the end when the authority finally shows up to take the ‘you’ in the ‘oneself’, no one is left to defend you and thus you also go down.

They will aim to eliminate tiktok as, everyone in the us higher ups agree it has to go, but who will be next afterwards? If in the future, Facebook doesn’t bend its knee to shovel out state propaganda, will it too go?

The very scary part of the bill, if true, is the outright banning of VPNs.

As a Finn, I’m not too worried about myself right now, but should USA fall into a complete Surveillance State with monitoring and it’s own version of China’s Social Credit system, it will have huge ramifications on EU and probably my country Finland.
Sorry, but you really need to listen to what Trump actually said instead of listening to his stuff filtered by the media. He definitely did say that the wall would help stop drugs. Even DEA law-enforcement agreed with him that it would help. And yes, there is a significant amount of drug trafficking carried out by people crossing the border. Whether they are "true" migrants or "cartel employed" is irrelevant.

"..they'll build fentanyl shops inside the USA..."

US law-enforcement would love this to happen. Damn easy to get a court order and bust up. Damn easy to setup informants to reveal such locations. Its like comparing peanut impacts versus asteriod impacts. You solve the critical asteroid problem first. The peanuts don't really make any significant difference.
Did you read the actual letter? It specifically calls out AI that is "more advanced than GPT-4"
I agree that LLMs are not a threat to humanity, since they are trying to output text and not actually change the world, and even giving them agency via plugins is probably not going to lead to ruin because there's no real reason to believe that an LLM will try to "escape the box" in any meaningful sense. It just predicts text.

However, it's possible that in a few years we'll have models that are directly trying to influence the world, and possess the sort of intelligence that GPT has proven is possible. We should be very careful about proceeding in this space.
I need this except in an excel/Google sheet. Took me an hour or so to compute confidence intervals of a standard deviation last week (without knowing previously how it’s supposed to be done, I usually don’t touch stats), I assume this would easily do the job in 5 mins?
Yeah, I guess we're disagreeing about a very non-concrete proposal, so there isn't much point to our convo :)
"dry erase" means the ink comes off even when dry, as opposed to a permanent marker.

The U.S. checks something like 1% of the cargo entering it’s shores.

I'm sure you've banned others, too. I read with showdead on, and I'm seeing a pretty clear bias in who's banned and who's not. Sure, it may be that right-wingers just can't behave, and I certainly see some of those. But others are perfectly fine comments, and checking their comment list, they write plenty of those, yet they still got banned. The communists don't get banned, and I can't recall seeing an obviously left-wing comment that was reasonable (aka not "you and all other rich people should be shot") and dead by default.

Maybe there's a secret part of HN where they're posting and they're all banned, but I doubt it. Your house, your rules, but it certainly looks like these rules are a bit bendy, and having banned some crazy person with a Bernie quote on his profile makes you believe that you're applying them evenly when you also ban someone like this here, who just comments from a somewhat right-wing position and is rejected by some part of the community because of it.
That does sound like there are some remaining effects of colonialism (white=beautiful, etc.)
I can't think of a legitimacy to this philosophy.

There have been negatives to all advancements, and the solution to all has been further advancements.

The philosophy of "Too much change! Stop! I'm scared!" cannot prevail in a world where another community can say "go ahead, we won't...".

Which is an interesting point in itself. Perhaps the only thing that ultimately stops Luddism is nation state competition.

police will not investigate property crimes under $1000 at all anymore

That's just cops being lazy and not doing their job. They like to say "the D.A. will just throw it out!" or "they'll just be back on the street due to overcrowding!" as if either of those has anything to do with the cops' job of enforcing laws and arresting perpetrators.
> PC printing is really handy for intrinsically bespoke things like tools in the wood shop.

Can you name some examples? As a hobbyist woodworker I've used my 3D printer to print router templates where PLA was fine enough for the task.

> Aside from cost of development and manufacture, I don't understand developing new bedslingers

Another reason is that bedslingers are good enough for most users. If you dont try to print 30cm high columns with 300mm/s a simple bedslinger will do. I've printed my best minis with a slightly modded Ender 3 and I have a pretty high end CoreXY printer. I could tune the CoreXY one too to be on par with quality but for such stuff bedslinger vs CoreXY doesnt matter

With the Geth being a counterexample as well: they were peaceful until their creators realised the Geth had become fully self-aware and went full "kill it with fire" on them out of fear, resulting in a war that the Geth very quickly and decisively won.
And the evil Geth faction, the "heretics", were portrayed as brainwashed by the Reapers, ironically turning into what the Reapers were aiming to prevent.
Just ban them full stop.

Huge amounts of people don't have enough money to participate in the economy at the same time as billionaires show themselves to be useless or worse, ban them and have a decent basic income - let's say current min wage + some %
Yes, for my personal photos. But you have to remember that people aren't taking photos for their own collection, they are taking photos to shine on social media.

Just look on Instagram. How could you compete with all those fit, beautiful and healthy people, if you don't heavily edit your photos.

(To be totally honest, I think that some beauty filters aren't as bad, because most people don't know how to hold their camera and tend to distort their face with closeup lenses.)

They mean that the code could deadlock on a panic if the unlock isn't deferred. (At least, in the case where the panic ended up being handled somewhere and the process didn't just exit.)
> It's natural to feel that way sometimes, but the perception that everything and everyone looks the same is likely more a result of the ubiquity of certain trends and designs, rather than an actual lack of diversity. We live in a globalized world where information, ideas, and styles are shared quickly and easily, leading to the widespread adoption of popular trends. This can create a sense of uniformity in various aspects of life, from architecture to fashion.

> However, it is important to remember that despite the prevalence of certain trends, there is still a great deal of diversity in the world. This diversity can be seen in regional variations of architecture, local customs and traditions, and the unique personalities and experiences of individuals.

> It's also worth considering the role of technology and social media in shaping our perception of the world. Platforms like Instagram and Pinterest tend to promote a curated, idealized version of reality, often featuring similar aesthetic styles. This can contribute to the feeling that everything looks the same, even if that's not the case in reality.

> To better appreciate the diversity that does exist, try to explore different cultures, visit local events, or engage in conversations with people from different backgrounds. By actively seeking out and appreciating the variety that exists in the world, you may find that your perception of "average" begins to change.
You probably have a DNS problem. Try another DNS server.
I am constantly amazed at Americans who seem to think that XYZ is an intractable problem with no solution, without bothering to even look outside their borders and notice the fact that almost no other country seems to have the same problem, or at least the same problem at a similar scale as the US.
Management as I see it has to do with managing the resources of a company just in the right way. That means there are many wrong ways and few right ways. So instead of providing to few resources for a task you could of course also mismanage into the other direction and have a ton of people doing nothing.

That is not the point.

Typical organizations very often have both at the same time, but in different places. (Bad) managment sometimes has a hard time telling the two apart, but in my experience they are more afraid of allocating too many resources ("wasting resources") than of allocating too little, because the cost of allocating too much is obvious to their superiors, while the costs of allocating too little is much more hidden, delayed and harder to correlate.

If that really good employee quits after three years of resource-starvation, the causal connection to mismanagment might not be drawn, the manager might even be applauded how well they managed the resources. The friction that comes with replacing that person, however, is real.

There are organizations that burn through employees like it is nothing, and they think that amount of turnover and the waste of resources and time that it brings is normal.

I argued against that.
Mortenjorck went back and softened their wording but when I originally responded, they claimed that Apple could never do anything remotely approaching that. I haven't edited my response, but this isn't a case of me claiming X did Y! but it turns out they didn't, and then me saying but they would have!

I'm saying X did Y, which they did, and it means that Z is at least on the table, where X = Apple, Y = FaceTime Eye Contact feature, Z = Milky Way enhancement.
China does require physical servers in China to operate user-generated-content websites and need staff oncall to censor content 24x7. I don't think wikimedia can do any of that.

Why are they buying knock-off Xanax from a unreputable source in the first place?

Darknet works like Amazon, but unlike Amazon reviews are usually real. Bad actors get blamed.

If they do, and there is a known risk, why did nobody in the distribution chain use a $15 test kit to verify the quality? Someone must have bought a few hundred pills at once to redistribute them, $15 and 5 minutes wouldn't matter.

Or general save drug use. You have a pill you haven't tried yet. No way to check properly. So you only take a bit and see if it turns out as expected.

This fentanyl thing is new and wasn't a thing when I popped pills. However there have always been dangerous pills. We've checked them, online, at labs, in person and small doses. If they were shit we throw them.

I believe the main difference is culture. We were aware of the dangers, we had mobile labs at parties and flyers about the current bad pills.

(Other than that Xanax and prescription drugs are nowhere as popular in Europe than they appear in the US)
False news!
the bottleneck here is the network, one thing rerun doesn't have to deal with.
> Once they were old enough they didn't need constant supervision. Trying to work from home with a toddler was a nightmare.

That's odd, I had no problem with working from home with toddlers, but I wasn't trying to do two full time jobs, on any given day either I was dedicated to looking after the kids or my partner was.

Looking after a toddler is a full time job.

No idea on that front. The caffeine one struck a chord because I'm a slow metaboliser, and it can cause me issues with anxiety under the wrong circumstances. It does make me wonder how many cases of anxiety are at least exacerbated by genetic issues with processing caffeine and other stimulants.

I also don't like the syntax, and that's because I use a lot of languages that are C-like, hence it's easier to understand the syntax between C#, Javascript/Typescript, Rust, Java, etc.

It was a Sun enclosure, so proprietary and no documentation on the raw disk layout.

This is just leveraging animosity towards China for access to user communication that would otherwise be protested. This is about access to user information and everything else is of little relevance.
Setup matters a lot, eg if you have a separate room to go to or a standalone unit in the back yard.

Kids are "sticky" (once they get into your office for any reason it can be difficult to get them out again).

Number of kids matters, their ages matter, their needs matter, sometimes they "get loose" while carer is busy with one (e.g. putting to sleep), and carers need breaks too.

For my particular situation, I can get noticeably more done on days when all the kids are out, even when someone else is ostensibly caring for them "full time".
And AppImage was already a thing in 2004. To bad that everyone has to reinvent the wheel when it comes to packaging instead of building on the existing solutions.
By everyone, I mean everyone. China is a huge part of the global economy (20% of US imports are from China), so China remaining stable and friendly would be good for people in China and for people outside China. It's not controversial, is it?

I somewhat agree with your appraisal of the state of the US, based on what I hear & read. China has big problems internally too though - not least a massive looming demographic crisis. The absence of a free press, free speech and an independent judiciary are definite negatives. Corruption remains part of everyday life in the forms of bribery and nepotism - if you're seriously ill you'd better have connections to senior hospital staff or local government (or lots of money, but that kind of comes with the connections anyway).

Mass media in the West is largely in the hands of private interests with their own agendas, it's not in lockstep with whoever is in power. Arguably the media controls the politicians, not the other way around. It's a totally different problem, it's mainly polarised and divided our populations which is pretty much the opposite of what Chinese state controlled media does.
