Even in the before times I didn't really leave airside. There was so rarely something worthwhile trekking to within the time I had available to me, that it wasn't worth it. Yes, the TSA security theater makes this worse, but I have very few layovers where *that* is the make or break reason I don't leave airside.

Interesting. From the video, it looks like he was coaxed into a FA expedition, and bailed somewhere around the base instead of doing any climbing.

Look, I realize he has a bit of a name brand that resulted in lots of people trying to do things with him in his old age that he really didn't have the ability to do at that point. It's also unclear if anyone ever tried to bring him on a FA after that expedition.

I realize that stoke for climbing never died for him, but the limitations of his body caught up with him, as they will with all of us. I don't think there were any serious FA attempts of his in his 80s, even if people liked to advertise an expedition with him as such.

Even getting to base camp of an alpine expedition is a remarkable accomplishment at his age.
I am looking forward to widely available personal EVTOL aircraft. Unless the TSA sometimes makes it into there and ruins that too
Requires sign in to read article which is lame.

I’m intrigued by the papers mentioned about his behavioral research on substance use and misuse. Anyone familiar with any of his work that is worth reading?
No, they should probably just not have access in the first place. Like having files encrypted with keys of only people that coudl access it or something

This is flagged because there are — sadly - way too many transphobes on HN. Last week, I submitted two articles about a trans person who had just died (comic book artist, trans activist). One article title noted they were a trans activist; the other made no mention at all that they trans. Guess which submission was flagged in under 20-minutes?

I have no idea why, but HN and dang tolerate transphobia.
If you look at the news, yes it came together quickly, but it has also gotten a lot of performance upgrades which have made significant improvements.

Wouldn’t a minivan be a better option in that case?

More passenger room, more cargo area, lower floors with the same high seating, better visibility which seems especially important around kids, comes in hybrid and AWD, most can tow the same amount as a hybrid highlander.

I own an SUV, and live in a rural area but I find it to be a pretty bad solution for moving stuff and people. I bought it, and use it, mostly for backcountry access along unmaintained resource roads.
ML training is iterative and non-parallelizable so breaking it up into distributable units of work would not provide any benefits and would actually slow down learning.

If you choose SSDs, remember to power them up every few months or so to keep the data alive.
I've been a huge fan of dota since 04/05 and yeah it's a great example, but on the real life side another reason things don't change as fast is just the huge barrier to entry, and to some extent the entertainment value.

The cost, time, and physical demands to be in the top 10-20% of many real life sports is just a huge gate, and so you get a lot of people who become complacent. It often is the lower rungs that are trying to innovate, but it's hard to see that flow all the way to the top because you don't know if your strategy is actually viable vs the best of the best. Vs something like a video game where playing near the top level is much more achievable.

There's also still an aspect of "entertainment". I'm not certain on this but to memory there's decent evidence that the best way to shoot a freethrow is an underhanded granny shot, but VERY few NBA players ever even attempt it.
Looks super cool, would be really nice as an on demand SaaS tbh
> In Germany there is still no consent on where to put the nuclear waste

Dig a deep hole, put waste there. This problem has been solved for decades. Germany has no seismic activity either, so that should not be a problem there.
At least showing an ad here and there is fair as you're using something for free and it's not trying to manipulate you, only show you an ad. It would be much worse if they actually biased the answers to talk about stuff they are paid to endorse...
I am reminded somewhat of a line in Sanjeev Arora's lecture notes A Theorist's Toolkit:

"Sanjeev admits that he used to find Fourier transforms intimidating as a student. His fear vanished once he realized that it is a rewording of the following trivial idea:

If u_1, u_2, ..., u_n is an orthonormal basis of R^n then every vector v can be expressed as Sum_i alpha_i u_i where alpha_i = <v, u_i> and Sum_i alpha_i^2 = |v|^2"

Coincidentally, I just started re-reading Steve Jobs' biography a few days ago (~11 years after I had first read it). When I had first read it as a kid, I was more into the design/tech stuff.

This time, I see my focus mostly going towards Steve's personality traits. His weird diets, his abrasiveness, his rudeness, his stare, him walking barefoot everywhere, his charisma, his directness. Him just going up to people and bending their wills in his "reality distortion field".

It's really powerful stuff.

Yeah, I understand passing a law that is intentionally designed to apply to only one company. But it's odd for a law to just name the company.
I’m talking about the Equinox EV which is a different car on a different platform (BEV3 vs D2XX), so I don’t think you can make that comparison until the car actually exists and people can give it a closer inspection and drive it for a while.

I’ll give you the Korean competitors, but what Japanese competitor are you impressed by? The BZ4X/Solterra? MX-30? The Prologue which is a BEV3 car with a Honda sticker on it?

Unfortunately the Niro / Kona suffer from slow charging and the Ioniq 5 / EV6 are in a higher price segment.
Sounds like basic capitalism to me. You have a captive audience, charge them until they refuse the price.

Same thing happens at stadiums, although not quite as bad as airports, but the prices - especially for the quality - are pretty ridiculous. I've only been to a few bars, but I also scoffed at the prices there as well.
> Who could ever define that?

The Port Authority:

"based on the average of three lowest prices for Comparable Products at the approved Comparable Concession Locations"

Per this definition from the specification, they were required to go out see what prices "comparable concession locations" charge for a turkey san, take the three lowest prices from that search, add them together, then divide by 3.

There are parts of the SVG spec that aren't this well specified.

> That's the whole point, that easy comparables don't exist, and when a journalist tries to use a FOIA request to get at the comparables, they're stonewalled.

If that were true there would have been no reason to stonewall. Just release the three prices and the names of the vendors used, and watch NYC argue endlessly over the details of "comparable" turkey san vendors.

But with the stonewalling this sounds a lot more like, "Let's just charge $14.99 and call it a day," and then forget about it-- because who in their right mind would ever do a Woodward&Bernstein on a goddamm' turkey san price at the airport?

And then Christopher Robbins over here is like, "JFK airport, fuck ya' life, that's who!"

> Why would I run a Linux box as my daily driver instead of a my Mac that is real Unix

Because your real Unix ships with certifiably ancient GNU tools that haven't been updated since they switched to GPLv3 licences, and are a massive security risk.

> Solar and wind are better alternatives today.

YOu understand that Germany has been investing into wind and solar for decades by now and it's still extremely far from meeting its energy production goals, even though you wind farms everywhere in the country when you drive there? That should tell you something about the viability of this initiative.
This is really a crazy take.

1. During the time in question , Microsoft was by far the dominant tech company, Apple was just coming out of being “beleaguered” and the iPod was just becoming popular. Facebook didn’t exist, Amazon was thought to be a money losing company months away from bankruptcy, Netflix (which shouldn’t have ever been considered BigTech) was worried about being crushed by Blockbuster, and Google was far from dominant.

2. The original acronym coined by Cramer was “FANG” and left out Apple completely

3. By todays standards, when people talk about FAANG they mean BigTech - Microsoft has been one of the top 5 most valuable companies since 2000. As of right now, Netflix ranks 115 in the F500.
Wait, did you actually find overpriced water in Greece? I ask because they have a law regulating the price of bottled water: https://greeklandscapes.com/prices-in-greece/#:~:text=BOTTLE...).

In my experience, I was able to purchase 0.50€ water at airports in Athens, Mykonos and Santorini. One trick that I saw some merchants use was to not to sell bottled water at all, or claim it had ran out, and that they only had 7€ Gatorade or whatever.

I've definitely put an entire pizza in a box through the scanner before and had no questions or pushback. If anything I've had more questions when I've flown with packaged food.

Foods I've flown with:

Apples

Two sub sandwiches

100 fresh tortillas

An entire 20lb uncooked brisket

3 loaves of bread

A frozen 8lb pork roast

I'm pretty surprised they're ok with frozen stuff, but yea, never had any issues bringing entire bags full of food, raw or prepared, packaged or not.
It doesn’t matter where your job is located. It matters where you currently ARE and the laws OF WHERE YOU ARE. You pay income taxes in the country you reside and make income in, not the country of the business that paid you (in most countries). The US is unique in that you must file income taxes if you work even a few hours for a business meeting (ask me how I found out — the fines aren’t pretty).

Tax laws are ridiculous everywhere, but one thing is for sure, they want that income tax if they can get it. Especially because in EU countries (for most tech worker US salaries), a large portion would be taxed at >40%.
As frustrating as it is to be stonewalled like this, I sincerely hope they don't waste taxpayer dollars by suing over it.

Airport food is bad and expensive, get over it. Pack your own lunch if you care, especially if what you're going to eat is a prepackaged sandwich anyway.

FWIW here: The backend guys are wrong.
Well, I don't use Node.js and I'm careful about cargo dependencies, so I actually can do this with every project I have worked on, and I value the ability to do it. It has led to a lot more sleep, as I understand it, than people with critical projects that rely on npm get. Cargo doesn't exactly have the all of the problems that npm has, but it is already kind of time consuming to audit your dependencies in Rust.
> It's when you start looking for 4TB SSDs that the prices go up considerably

That’s not my experience, having recently built a PC for myself. SN850x 4TB was about 2x the 2 TB price. (Depending on the day, it was -15% to +20% from the linear price, but was usually in the 3-5% higher than linear.)

I didn’t see a reason to go small for a couple hundred bucks of delayed purchase.
What's even worse is that this made global news two years (!) ago already.

That's all true. I am biased because I am responsible for keeping hundreds of devices calibrated, and keeping a lab within 2C of 23C. The CLT implies that the sample mean is more likely to be close to the true population mean as the sample size increases. Not the same as more accurate. Shame on me!

FWIW, `typing.NamedTuple` did this in Python 3.5, three years before dataclasses was introduced in 3.7.

It's 100% relevant because there are even MORE valuable than me in my company. I was pointing out the importance of people to an attacker is directly proportional to their access, not their rank. If they got into one of our RCM people, we'd be royally screwed, and they make $30/hr.
The SEC is regulating public companies too much. This leads to higher compliance costs, which decrease shareholder returns, and to more and more companies opting to remain privately held rather than going public, which is siphoning sophisticated investors away from the stock market and toward private equity investing.
How much faster could they do it if they kept the nuke plants in service?
I made a storage server a few weeks ago. I experimented a bit with various HDDs before choosing, and the difference in noise seemed kinda massive depending on what model you go with. I tested with some Seagate IronWolf Pro 20TB and WD Red Pro 20TB, and they were indeed pretty noisy. Clearly too noisy to have in a room where people live. On the other hand, the WD Red Plus (only 14TB max though) are surprisingly quiet. I put 11 of those in a good case (Fractal Define 7), and the whole thing is barely audible. Even with some heavy I/O task going on (e.g. ZFS scrub), you could hardly guess that the server is running over the background noise of my fridge and ventilation.

That can be true, simultaneously with the repetitive “I copy/pasted this into chatGPT, here's what it said!” comments being boring. They don't add anything to the discussion.

If the grandparent provided some analysis of what was output, maybe tied it back into the sorts of errors humans make and how gpt does or does not make dealing with this sort of issue easier, that'd be fine. I may or may not be terribly interested in it, but I wouldn't downvote it. But it didn't.

It's like saying it would be good if there were two competing projects writing something akin to the Linux kernel. It's just not true. The mutually beneficial thing is to have one project where all developers are happy to work together. This is obviously idealized, but FFmpeg vs. Libav was 10x worse than what we have today. Imagine how Intel or Nvidia would contribute (either to the broken-up Linux or broken-up FFmpeg) new drivers or new hardware codec integration if there was competition. It would be a horrible end user experience.
Companies doing contrived "creativity" can be worse for the company than reducing the number of outstanding shares with a buyback which when done appropriately is a healthy reorganization of the capital stack.

How many mergers and acquisitions have we seen epically blow up? How many billions down the drain on projects like the windows phone or Google+? Hindsight is 20-20 but when it comes to pouring tons of money into new products we're not exactly blind either.

I'm typing this from a 2011 iMac (3.4ghz, 4-core i7, 8GB RAM, AMD 6700 series GPU) on which I've just installed Mac OS Ventura using OpenCore. It's working great. Performance is not distinguishable from the performance of the same system on High Sierra, so far. The process was also pretty easy, it walked me through every step. Just highlights how absurd it is that these systems aren't still supported.

I feel that you are shifting the goalpost and trying to drag me into a debate I am not interested in.

Your question was simple: "OP was asking why de Sade is promoted so heavily. [...] OP's question is also my question. Why is this vile little man being promoted so much?"

My answer to you was simply in response to that question. I don't claim that these people are right, I don't claim that their reading is the only possible reading. I try to explain under which possible reading Sade interests some people enough that they promote him.

You are welcome to rebut my point, but to do it, it is not enough to give an alternative reading. This is a different debate, which you would need to take up with people who are interested in promoting Sade (of which I am not).

> Presumptuous only enters the picture if one insists, as you do, that such a choice can only be validated by a cultural and intellectual establishment

Please give me the quote(s) where I do that. This is not the point I was trying to make, so if I mis-expressed my idea I would welcome an opportunity to correct myself.
Not sure how are these nvme enclosures supposed to work. The problem is right in the picture. Samsung SSD bla bla 3.3V/3.3A = 11W and that's just for the SSD itself, the controller chip in the enclosure will also consume a lot of power at the advertised speeds. So you're looking at say 13W or so peak power consumption of the whole deal.

Normal USB 3.0 port can do 4.5W. So sticking that contraption into such port will not work reliably at all. Specially marked USB 3.0 port can deliver maybe 7.5W. Type-C ports, who knows. Depends on what the port advertises via pullup-resistors. It may be 4.5W, 7.5W or 15W. You never know.

Nice in theory, but none of the usb nvme adapters that I bought work reliably in any port for longterm use.

They certainly don't work in any low power devices, like various ARM SBC USB ports because most of those use current limiting power switches for USB ports.

And they don't work in my workstation reliably longterm either, for whatever reason.

I guess you really have to be lucky to have a 15W Type-C data port. Funny how often these sell with Type-C <-> USB-A cables, though.
This. Any package can be anything at any time. Remember when left-pad (10 lines of code) was deleted by its author in 2016?
