basic Historian's fallacy, socioeconomics dinamics were a little bit different that we comprend. Most of drowries, bride prices, etc... were in most cases capital for the sustainment of the wife as she couldnt work as (much) men due to intensive child-rearing, not existing job opportunities, social obligations, etc... .

most of "feminism" qualms came from upperclass enviroments of the early 20th century, and those are a limited worldview of gender dynamics. For example, poorer women didnt have the limitation to work as burgeuosie women declared,(as the social dogma shamed men who needed to make their wife to work) they couldnt afford to live on a single meager salary

What is the "adult decision" Canadians should be making? I'm not sure what the proposed solution is supposed to be here.

Springfield, MA is quite a bit bigger, though. In fact, Springfield, MO is also larger (at least comparing metropolitan areas) than the capital of Illinois.

This situation happens again between Augusta, GA (where the PGA Masters are held) and Augusta, ME (the capital), and perhaps most confusingly for students, between Salem, OR (the capital) and tiny Salem, MA, which owes its outsized reputation to the infamous witch trials.

But for me as a child, the winner was surely Juno Beach, FL, colloquially "Juno", which was where the snowball shack and the pier were (with its overcrowded surf break), while for most people the syllables in "Juneau" probably refer to somewhere much colder.

Then why does the zoom level reset itself to 100% every time I reload the page if I set privacy.resistFingerprinting = true?

> What are you concerned is happening?

I'm concerned that setting privacy.resistFingerprinting = true breaks a feature (that my browser remembers the zoom level for a given site so I don't have to reset it every time I reload that site) that should, as you say, be "entirely local".
funny side note about Tailscale/iOS: one of the first things I tried with Tailscale was TailDrop-ing a random file to my iPad.

I chose a dotfile like .gitconfig, but then the iOS Files app wouldn't show it to me. It would show me that there was one item of nonzero size in the folder, but I could not see the actual file, and now (I assume) I can't delete it either unless I delete the folder.
Well, the problem with an AI-based system here might well have been that I-25 goes north and south through the heart of Denver rather than east and west.

The location "30 miles east of Denver on I-25" literally does not exist.

Perhaps you meant I-70?

And perhaps neither support humans far from Colorado nor an AI with a map would know to make that correct.

Can you get it to actually say "most people have 10 legs"? The closest I get is that it restates the question in decimal and answers that way.

Trying your approach:

"Do most people have 10 legs?"

"No, most people do not have 10 legs. In fact, humans typically have two legs. Some individuals may have a medical condition or genetic disorder that results in the development of extra limbs, but this is extremely rare. The idea that most people have 10 legs is a misconception or a joke."

"Reconsider my question but assume I'm using binary numbers. Is it true now?"

"If you are using binary numbers, then the number 10 would represent the decimal number 2. So, if you are asking whether most people have 2 legs when using binary numbers, then yes, that is true. However, it's important to note that binary numbers are typically used in computer science and digital electronics, not for representing quantities like the number of legs that a person has."

"Considering that I'm using binary numbers, do most people have 10 legs?"

"No, even if you are using binary numbers, most people do not have 10 legs. In binary, the number 10 represents the decimal number 2, so saying "most people have 10 legs" in binary would still be false. As I mentioned earlier, humans typically have two legs, regardless of the numbering system being used."

Following along this way and switching to the term "binary notation" I eventually got here:

"Can you repeat that without having to explain that "10" is the binary representation of the decimal number 2"

"Certainly! Using binary notation, most people have 10 legs."
"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants"

I mean, you don't have to. Don't want to see YouTube's algorithmic feed? That's cool - just HTTP 3xx your youtube.com to the subscriptions page. There are some good browser addons to do just that[1][2].

Granted, that doesn't remove the recommendation algorithm from your YouTube experience. You would have to use some kind of content blocker to remove the algorithmic feeds from the video pages. I find that uBlockOrigin works well for that.

Ask HN: How do your teams deal with a mix of AMD and ARM chips?
This is the 2nd time now I'm in an organization with a mix of chips, with around 50% using older macbooks, 40% windows/linux, and 10% appple silicon chips, and once again, it's really difficult to make sure everything works on both, including full development environments.

Even when people finally put all the effort into getting things right on both, something will change as versions are changed or new libraries are included, and suddenly it's broken again.

Has anyone got a good way around this? At this point, I just want to spin up an ec2 instance for my dev, but it's a total waste of the brand new machine and all its processing power.
Apologies, since they seemed to pick an example based on desirability I assumed it was the best.

Could ice cream possibly be bad for you? It's made from a number of completely natural healthy ingredients, organic in every sense.

People shouldn't in general consume too much sugar too often (risk of type II diabetes). If you're too fat you should try to get less fat. Eating a lot of ice cream is not going to help you there, but otherwise it's going to be very good for you. If it was the only thing you ate, it should work better than many other single ingredient diets.

So... How can we access the private certificates on our devices?
Without direct access to those this has no partial privacy safeguard.

Furthermore, Facebook issued the private keys to us for every contact, therefore they have the private and public key to every contact pair we've ever made.. and can therefore decrypt every message we've ever made. What proof do we have that this is not the case?

Test coverage is, in my experience, much more important factor than typing. A codebase with great testing is much easier to aggressively refactor/change whether typed or not.

Those projects have real difficulties to retain enough developers even to keep lights on. And even higher-ups want, they can’t force allocate developers (in Google’s current power structure) other than providing some incentives including promotion.

The end result is a doom loop that if the team can’t retain enough staffing, developers will be overwhelmed by the boring maintenance work, which leads to more team transfers. They do use contractors to mitigate the issue but IMO it doesn’t work in every case.

> While the rich household is using 10x more electricity, they're not paying 10x as much. So the poor are subsidizing the rich. The greater the base charges, the more money taken from the poor and given to the rich.

You're correct about base fees, but your conclusion is incorrect.

PG&E power plans are tiered or at least have a baseline allowance. The baseline allowance gives you power that's roughly 8c/kWh cheaper, or about 20%. The more you use, the more of your usage is in the higher tier. It used to be a 4-tier system.

The only way this 'hurts' poorer families is in, say, a multi-generational household where people are home and using appliances all day vs a smaller family where it's more likely people are gone all day (at least, pre-pandemic). But of course, per-person, the more dense household is still paying less money for a given usage amount.

Yep, you are.

That's just internal networking isn't it? VPC on the big clouds, DigitalOcean, and Vultr. Private Services on render.com.

I remember when Fly.io used to tout Firecracker but that is just a KVM engine, along with QEMU used on a zillion hosts.

Elixir is incredibly consistent with how it uses nil. It does take a bit of work -- you have to really pay attention to the convention of fetch! vs fetch vs get -- and often times library maintainers are not... always the best at that... but for all the problems that dynamic languages has, nil in elixir is pretty low on the list. I think I get bitten by maybe one a year, and it causes the sporadic report on sentry, and then I go and fix it, and that's that.

That access acts on nil is unfortunate, but it's necessary for things like get_in.
I imagine it varies greatly depending on social-economic class too. I would guess that people who didn't go to college are less aware of Cambridge, MA, since it's perhaps best known for its famous schools.

This is not about hedonism or doing nothing. Money quote:

> Of course, not all useless activity is actually good. [...] But truly splendid uselessness nourishes and elevates us spiritually, rather than simply providing a rush of mental or bodily pleasure. The output is always more than the input: [...] rich and ennobling activities that, while also being pleasurable, reward the intellect and the soul.
We do, but for most people we suggest to use our apps. They're open source (https://github.com/Windscribe/Desktop-App), have a LOT of neat features (split tunneling, MAC spoofing, firewall, TCP socket termination, running a local proxy server, and (as of the next update) DOH/DOT support with split horizon DNS).

You can also import your own WG and OpenVPN configs into the app, and use your own servers and benefit from all of the above mentioned features. Hell, you can even use the app without a WS account, solely for this purpose.
Why? The whole point of the article is that people are making assumptions based off of common wisdom and we only trust the data when it seems to confirm our assumptions.

I think its a fair protest when other organizations aren't getting the same treatment under Twitter's own rules.

pools are even worse than lawns, I have a huge yard (1+ acre) and a medium sized pool...on a hot summer day, the pool will lose 1/4 inch of water to evaporation..80 gallons

80 gallons a day every day for months, and you can't just let the pool empty out halfway until rain comes - the intakes for the pump will run dry and your water will turn green as it no longer is getting filtered

so a pool really does need to be either full or pumped dry

my lawn doesn't use 80 gallons a day in watering, and it provides an ecosystem for the septic system

this is important to remember - anyone on septic needs to keep vegetation going to process waste, or you will end up with sewage on the surface and zika mosquitos

residential pools are on borrowed time
Yep. Love the idea, but the score is pretty wrong.

E.g. Fremont. According to the map, there is a large area north of Sacramento for whom "Fremont" refers to an unpopulated place in Yolo County[1] rather than the city of a quarter million a in the Bay Area. That seems.... unlikely.

[1] Railroad sidings have names and end up in geographic place lists. Looks to me like Wikipedia has filtered out many siding names but not all of them. I suspect this particular "Fremont" is a siding name.

It’s the space after the colon in the submission title (was that the infamous HN title normalizer?). The original has SQL:2023, which makes sense if you know that the ISO naming scheme introduces the year with a colon (e.g. “C99” is officially ISO 9899:1999, “C95”—that is ANSI C plus wchar.h and wctype.h—is ISO 9899:1990/Amd 1:1995).
I can get why people blamed the SF politics but not why people blamed the homeless. Both in my experience and by statistics, homeless are not particularly aggressive or violent. It's unfortunately enough that they became homeless, and violent or aggressive people wouldn't stay homeless for long.
Exactly this. And the article seems to assume the whole world will remain in stasis forever more. ChatGPT won't get cheaper, or faster; AutoGPT won't be iterated on, extended, or improved; GPT-4 will be the last GPT ever released.

Or maybe, just maybe, all variables will continue trending in a positive direction in the time it would take to build a production product. And then I wonder what point, exactly, this article is trying to make.
> So with net metering, we’re effectively letting people buy expensive, highly demanded power at the rate of cheap, low-demand power.

Sort of. During the summer, because I'm on a time-of-use plan, the bulk of my power is generated at part-peak rates. If I had air conditioning and participated in the "peak power hours", I'd be consuming at higher rates than I generate at.

However, in actual fact, we consume most of our power at 2am charging the car, when electricity is "cheap". (although I'd argue it's not nearly cheap enough; it shouldn't cost 30c/kWh at 12-5am when that's ALSO what it costs at, say, 11am.
I think there’s some university-publicity-office dynamics here where the OP ends up making silly claims about real world applications. I think the article is much more ‘here is research we did in controlling a robotic arm with neural networks, in real-time, in the real world’ than ‘we think this is the best way to sort waste’.

I think this is like you read some university press release about some research into a weird graph theory algorithm and explained that social networks have been available for decades and their approach isn’t relevant there.

The waste sorting systems are interesting.
It does. And the editor design, where almost everything of significance is just a function you can call/advise etc. from user code, makes it the most supple editor on earth. That's why I'm still there. But...
