> Less than 4% of Congress members say they're unaffiliated with religion or don't know. PRRI's survey says nearly 27% of the general public is unaffiliated.

THIS is the biggest disparity in the article. Not that X or Y faith or under or over represented, but that almost a full 1/3 of the country is non-religious, yet less than 5% of Congress matches that view point.

We need more openly atheist leaders.
That's sometimes a good point. Doesn't seem to be a good point here unless you live next to a bean farmer. Coming up with a biomimicking synthetic makes plenty of sense in this instance.

To generate a quality idea your brain has to have a good understanding of the final goal (why bother coming up with ideas) and a deep domain understanding (for ideas to be detailed and relevant, not generic and worthless).

This is exactly why most of successful startup were founded by people already experienced in the industry of a startup.

To your question, ideas in my area of expertise come up by themselves naturally, just like you write code and don’t try to create a class definition, but just create it.

i never waste time on this nonsense train yourself to be creative activities.

But I tried in the past to be confident that it is a nonsense to make a profit from naive “success seekers”.

There is no generic creativity, no generic idea muscle to train, no general answer on “how” question.

It’s all about the details and specifics. Even though creative people in one specific area tend to stay creative in many others, this is not how they do it.
If a public official posts a comment on HN, then is it protected from being flagged, downvoted, killed or its author being shadowbanned.

What the heck is social media. How large does a website and its audience have to be before we call it "social media". Sorry, I was born before the internet. To me, it's still a WIP (work in progress).
I travel quite a lot and I've occasionally seen bed bugs in hotels in France, Indonesia, Thailand. But it's true that I never heard of bed bugs infestation until I lived in NYC in 2009 (and my whole building had issues with them), there was a peak of infestations at that time.

Visible on Google Trends https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=bed%20bu...

I read somewhere that some bedbugs may be more resilient than others so that may explain.

Do these numbers seem way too high, or is it just me? 90% of congress is Christian? 64% of the public is Christian? Really?
This is one case where self-reported figures clearly aren't trustworthy. Politicians would claim that they worship a dog turd on the side of the road if they think it would help them get elected.
In the past I always wondered why Apple would ship a custom browser and email client for iOS/MacOS - they should provide core functionality of an OS but that line seems to have blurred with "customer experience".

Microsoft is doing nearly the same thing via Office365 - OneNote,Office,Teams and Edge rather than WebView2.

It is hard using a third party program on Windows because it is so glaring obvious it looks rather weird.
Don't know relm4, but website says its based on GTK as well
I'm a mid level developer and probably about 5 or 6 on any given day. I do a lot of designing/coding and by the time 3pm rolls around the part of my brain that can think in that way just starts to shut down. Having upcoming deadlines invigorates me and can help me push the number of hours worked up, but it's very much "borrowing from my future self". I try to maintain a steady pace throughout a sprint and 9/10 times it works and allows me to work those 5 or 6 hours a day. I'm still available/at my desk for those remaining 2-3 hours though.
Here's something I've found a useful upgrade to asprintf, as it frees the passed-in buffer after expanding the format string. You can just pass the same char ** repeatedly (and also pass it as one of the string arguments corresponding to a %s!) and it'll update the pointer appropriately each time. Makes many kinds of string manipulation very simple.

int xasprintf(char**p,const char *fmt,..) {
int n=0;
char *p2=nullptr;
if(fmt) {
va_list v;
va_start(v);
n=asprintf(&p2,fmt,v);
va_end(v);
}
if(n>=0) {
free(*p);
*p=p2;
}
return n;
}

If you thought asprintf was inefficient, this is worse. But it's very convenient!
Relm4 is actually based on gtk-rs, and you will be using gtk-rs widgets all the time.

I have to say however that despite heroic efforts by the authors, it doesn't really feel as nice as the "real" Elm architecture precisely because of the imperative focus of gtk-rs' API, the nature of Rust's memory management system, and depending on what you're doing you may feel forced far too often to drop from fantasy land to reap the benefits of the abstraction.

I'd still consider it next time I tackle a native app, but having tried Slint for writing simple UIs and having read some iced code, I think I'd only go for it if I'm really going for the Gtk native look and ecosystem.
It's not a store card, it's a fairly regular Visa Credit/Debit card from my bank (Osuuspankki) that has the loyalty card for K Group's stores integrated into it. When you order a new payment card, you can add your loyalty card number in the application and they'll integrate it in your card.

https://www.op.fi/private-customers/daily-banking/cards/card...

Other banks in Finland also offer the same loyalty card integration with their payment cards.

No idea how it works technically. I assume that it broadcasts the loyalty card and the debit card at the same time when you use NFC, since you can get both with one (long) tap against the payment terminal. It also reads the loyalty card if you use chip + PIN to pay. The loyalty card is completely separate from the actual payment card - if I use Apple Pay to pay with the same underlying Visa card, it will not give me any loyalty rewards.
Documentation starts with you. When you experience the feeling "why wasn't this written down?", that is your signal to document it. Don't make it rigorous, rigorous documentation is mostly waste.

One of the more useful forms of documentation, especially for the cost, is notes coming out of a meeting. Keep a bulleted list of topics discussed in every meeting, when there are disagreements (eg in technical approaches) record who argued each position. It can help to have the notes visible during the meeting to get people to clarify their points. Record what everyone says they will do as an outcome to the meeting. Send the notes out afterwards.

Edit to add: double check when you're writing down a commitment from someone. "Josh, I've got you down to defrag the hard drives in staging, is that right?"
That's a lazy, trite, and untrue cliché.
I wouldn't set random_page_cost lower than seq_page_cost. It can cause the query planner to do wacky things (I learned the hard way). The documentation mentions it, but not as strongly as I think is warranted given how erratic my PostgreSQL cluster started behaving after I made that configuration change.

> Although the system will let you set random_page_cost to less than seq_page_cost, it is not physically sensible to do so. However, setting them equal makes sense if the database is entirely cached in RAM, since in that case there is no penalty for touching pages out of sequence. Also, in a heavily-cached database you should lower both values relative to the CPU parameters, since the cost of fetching a page already in RAM is much smaller than it would normally be.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-query...

Curious though, lowering both values is something I haven't done before but now I am curious about.
Considering that more than 50% of the general public are Christian, be overrepresented by a factor of two is a mathematical impossibility currently.
The challenge with egui is the theme. It looks ok, but isn't good enough for a commercial business app for example. Also, I believe it lacks a webview, so if you are in a pinch the only thing you can do is create your own widgets without a way to cheat and embed some web content. I would agree for certain types of apps it may be "good enough" (science, gaming, medical perhaps...anything where the UI is secondary to the 3D viewport)

No cryptocurrency in its current or foreseeable future state are useful as daily methods of payment, for many reasons. Cryptocurrencies are volatile speculation instruments, not a practical currency as they lack the necessary combination of stable value, widespread adoption and either usefulness outside of limited markets or privacy friendly method to convert. Monero might not be as routinely traceable as other cryptocurrencies but any conversion to or from fiat is likely to be traceable or dodgy enough to get a bad rate of return. To be a truly useful currency someone has to be able to earn it one day and spend it freely in the overwhelming majority of commerce situations a week or month later for the equivalent value. That is not going to happen with cryptocurrency in the foreseeable future. The majority of people who claim it will be or should be are typically those most interested in cryptocurrency being a volatile speculation instrument, which defeats their stated goal.
It is commonly stated and I found it to be very true. PostgreSQL is quite advanced in its procedural aspects (Oracle isn't too far behind either) but they were not made with particular focus on debugging. I'll need to have hacks like creating temp tables to dump records at a given stage vs simply setting a breakpoint. I can unit test the shit out of bog standard Java code; PL/SQL for all its capabilities doesn't even come close. The one area this tilts to the other side is when you need to do heavy processing with high volume of data on database side; a well written stored proc would handily outperform application side logic simply due to the network latency involved. But for typical use cases, putting complex business logic in stored procs just isn't worth it.

Great way to fail statistics class to the point that your entire comment is highly suspect.

On your own, there's thousands of directions and ways where trouble can come that at least have a small chance of really happening.

Yes, that's it exactly. There has never been an atheist president, because people wouldn't vote for them. Politicians have to at least pretend to be Christian, because it gets them more votes. Apparently polls show people would sooner vote for a Muslim than an atheist, which I'm not sure that I believe.
So largely I believe the plan is to use microwaves to send the power back to earth so you don't have to have anything processed in space. This would usually involve ground stations that would receive the power.

Well, I mean, how else can we prove that a slimeball politician is blocking his constituents unless we can identify the constituents blocked. A politician in Wisconsin shouldn't be able to block Wisconsinites in his constituency, but I can see where it'd be legal for him to block Nebraskans. Fundamental to attribution here is determining the one from the other. Courts of law are generally sticklers about that sort of thing.

Yes!

Question, 'tho — to what extent is the geomagnetic field necessary, adding, or diminishing the effect?

For sure, as the charged particles arrive, their paths are being bent by the magnetic field, so stealing energy from the core.

But to what extent are we 'harvesting' that energy?

Seems the flares would still create a gradient across dozens or hundreds of miles of wire even without the core and our geomagnetic field.

If the field is enhancing or multiplying that effect, then we can certainly be said to be harvesting that energy. But, if it is neutral or diminishing the induced currents, it seems just like a side effect.

Also makes me wonder how much energy is there, and how long solar flares would take to deplete it...
How does this compare to the industry?
Yes, in a few billion years all life on earth will be extinguished by the sun.

In the shorter term, humans can either *choose* to live in a more sustainable manner in this solar system or the choice can be forced upon them.

Personal judgment --- resources would be much better spent on sustainability rather than escape at this point in time.
We need leaders who lead. If they are openly anything, that should be incidental. I don't care if they are or are not openly atheist. It is irrelevant to have people who are openly atheists just for the sake of them being openly atheists or for the sake of saying that there is some proportion that is directly uniform or 1:1 with what you expect more broadly.
Dieting is really odd. It seems like a lot of people are both trying to lose weight, and making an effort to remind themselves to eat even if they aren't hungry.
Adult general public.
I am dubious of that explanation, because President Biden, the most prominent Democrat, self-identifies as Catholic. His office is un-affected by gerrymandering in the way that Congress would be.

Pelosi, now retired but an incredibly prominent Democrat, also self-idenfitied as Catholic. This was in one of the most openly hostile states towards Christians in the union. If there is one state where you would probably see an atheist bump, this would have been it.

This doesn't seem like something that gerrymandering or "those backwards bible-thumping GOP hicks" can explain away.
Thanks to both of you for the comprehensive and interesting answers to my potentially "dumb" question.

So? There are ample ways to share a video that aren't based on single-platform features.

If Apple invents a way to do some thing X between two of its users, that's great. That's a platform advantage. There's no legal or moral standing that allows us to insist that they open that to other platforms.

I'm a little skeptical of any theory that makes pronouns super important for the simple reason that there are many languages like where pronouns are not super important. In agglutinative languages like Turkish and Finnish, person is shown via conjugation, making pronouns redundant. In topic marker languages like Japanese and Korean, person can be derived from context and pronouns are often replaced by titles.
There's a large number of the public who identify as Christian but who don't really attend church.

For HN and forums in general, I think this will mean disabling APIs and having strict captchas for posting.

Beyond HN, I think this will translate in video content and reviews becoming more trustworthy, even if it's just a person reading a LLM-produced script. You will at least know they cared enough to put a human in the loop. That and reputation. More and more credit will be assigned based on reputation, number of followers, etc. And that'll be until each of these systems get cracked somehow (fake followers, plausible generated videos, etc.).

Gunpoint or not, a lot of people take loans out of survival instinct.

I'm not saying loans good or loans bad, nor am I saying financial literacy good or bad, but I am saying that clearly a lot of loans and credit cards are given to people who in all likelihood cannot easily pay them back and this is either a failure of the issuer at best or predatory at worst.
Does "WIMPS don't explain observed data" also exclude "matter in other M-Theory branes exerts a gravitational influence on matter in our own" as an explanation for dark matter?

The main argument I've seen against this is that matter interacting gravitationally across branes would cause a sort of n-body problem condition where everything in a particular sphere of influence would orbit continuously around the center of mass instead of settling into a lump, but maybe that explains why some planet-scale (or larger) objects have spinning cores?
Our brains, quite obviously, aren't special. There's no magic smoke blown up our butts that give us our emotions and creativity. Our brains are a chunk of thinking meat, bound by the same rules as everything else in our physical reality.

Our curiosity, emotions and creativity are the result of our evolutionary process and nothing more. Saying that all of these things can't be experienced by some future machine is just human exceptionalism.

Perhaps there really are quantum tubules in our heads, but then we can still use the same effect inside a machine brain. We're just conscious, loving, dreaming meat lmao. (Terry Bisson)
You'd be wrong. IQ assessments at the very least distinguish between verbal, reasoning, and short term memory (and often have more components)

They're incredibly fraught when they're used well (there's reasonable criticism they mostly assess test taking ability), and it gets worse when you apply a simplified explanation like "raw processing power".

Unaffiliated is 4% vs 25%, I don’t think it’s clickbaity to say that they are “more religious” because if that.

However, the article doesn’t mention how many congress members are religious “out of convenience”, in order to gain votes entirely, and not because they really believe in what they say they believe in.

Right but I can't imagine this is something you can change as long as the other participants are willing to take that risk. For VCs this is like playing a lot of roulette tables at once for a potential big pay day. A single player like the article's Masimo Corp doesn't have the luxury of multiple roulette tables so they are far more exposed.

Letting someone else go first doesn't have to be bad practice, someone always goes first and the others follow. Different players have different risk appetites and this can lead to healthy competition. Unless it's abusing a position of power. Look at Amazon when they use knowledge about products and sales that are normally not public to launch their competitors, or Apple here taking over the engineering team legally but then stealing the tech probably assuming the chips will fall their way.
The big problem with futures trading in electricity is that there's no "carry trade". If you're futures trading in aluminium you can pile it up in a warehouse. It's very hard to warehouse more than a tiny fraction of daily demand for electricity.
