I am a static electricity "magnet". I keep getting shocked a lot, painfully, in environments where no one else is, which is kind of bad for my mental health if I focus too much on it. I've learned all kinds of methods to cope.

For example, we have a few bar stools at home; sitting on one always primes me for getting shocked after getting off it. I figured a few rules, such as never wearing anything isolating on my feet, so I can dissipate charges by keeping one foot on the metal part of the chair; or, failing that, I make sure there's always a metal object in grasping range, which I can use to later discharge in a less painful way.

(Pro tip: don't do the metal discharge thing with the hand you wear rings on, and hold the metal item so it doesn't touch the underside of your fingers - getting a shock through a nerve isn't pleasant at all.)

Another thing: I always keep a metal coat hanger around the bedroom, so that whenever I have to deal with blankets, I can keep "swiping" them to collect charge and then transfer them away by touching something grounded with the coat hanger.

Also: I always have my keys on me when away, in an easily-accessible place, specifically so I always have a metal object I can use to offload static charge in a pain-free way.

Also: over the years I kind of habituated all kinds of subtle behaviors designed to keep me safe from getting shocked by my wife or kids. Basically, if I feel one of them just got charged (e.g. via the blankets or the bar stool mentioned before), or I haven't kept track of their recent movements in a static-rich environment, if there's a need or chance of any kind of physical contact, I instinctively first touch using my elbow or some other pain-minimizing way, just to equalize charges with them. My wife sometimes notices when I do it to her, but fortunately, she is quite understanding.
Website admin can solve this and still have protection by enabling caching of the rss feed, using a transform rule to drop all fields that could mess with the cache key, and then reducing the security level for that url. The cache works fine as a DDoS defense aswell as long as you don't let people mess with the key.

Mostly. The other component is how we pretend HTM Treasuries both hold their value and are liquid. Europe marks to market daily. I think you should get to choose: mark at $1, but they don’t count as liquid, or mark to market and they contribute to your liquidity ratio. (The rollback meant nobody was measuring liquidity. SVB would have failed its LCR in March 2022.)

I think this is a bit over confident, though...

For example, AlphaFold just fundamentally isn't a language model, but is fundamentally useful. We'll still need these models that Do Stuff in many areas, and that will still involve benchmarks... Even if we're able to ask GPT-N+1 to design the next version of the model for us.
I think without the adversarial subversion, the states would be in just as bad of a place. It would be less clear in policies implemented, but the root cause is a lack of engagement in politics and use of the tools from modernity and the enlightenment.

> I know a lot of developers who will opt to do all of their scripting in python these days, even putting #!/bin/python3 at the head of a script so that it runs through the shell.

...which is exactly what you're meant to do.

This is not an example of how bad Bash it, it shows that you didn't understand what Bash is. It's expected to use various languages to write code on Linux, nobody wants you to do things in a language that wasn't made for the task.

Imagine you had to use Python on the shell and, any time you open a terminal, needed to import os and do something like print(os.path.glob("*")) instead of just opening a terminal and typing "ls" to get your directory listing. Different tools for different jobs.

Also the point they try to make about bash looking like a foreign language and having weird syntax. Yes, that's the thing: it's a very specific thing called a shell, not just any old programming language that you're meant to use for things that are not shell scripts. If Python feels more natural to you, that's probably what you should be using. Don't feel like you need to use Bash for bigger tasks than a few lines of code for no reason other than because you're on a system that has it.

Once you get down to it, everything in the US seems to be designed to benefit big business / oligarchs. Culture wars topics are intended to distract from things like healthcare, raising the minimum wage, solving the housing crisis in cities, taxing the rich, and so on. They create our pain, then dangle "jobs" as a salve.
> The feds are stuck trying to tame inflation […] and many otherwise viable businesses will fail if credit freezes.

That’s what “taming inflation” means. It means cooling off the economy, which means that businesses which would otherwise be viable fail, reducing demand, reducing upward pressure on prices.

To the extent that unexpected banking issues accelerate this, within a fairly wide band, from a monetary policy perspective that just means the Fed can back off the brake pedal a little sooner.
The US used to have media ownership rules for this purpose. On balance, they worked well until they were repealed (at each step, the politicians responsible for repealing them had ties to the companies that directly benefited).

Term limits seem like the type of thing that would not necessarily create positive or negative results, but modulate the system.

I think it is a thing that feels right to a lot of people, but if you ask "What will term limits achieve, and what are possible unintended consequences of term limits?" I think most proponents of it would have a very hard time coming up with a satisfying answer.

I would prefer age limits before term limits.

I think the real question to ask is: "If corruption were against the law, would people still want term limits?" or "Will term limits reduce corruption?"

I think the answer is no and I think it is obviously no for the latter (revolving door).
It's pretty manual at this point. The indexing is done by hand. The idea is kind of crazy, but I think it can be made to work, in the same way that Wikipedia is maintained by hand.

https://digraph.app/

https://github.com/emwalker/digraph

If you can crowdsource the indexing, you get yourself a manually curated search engine with a nice topic graph that can be traversed. A piece of this puzzle that hasn't been tackled yet is a reputation system to keep the signal-to-noise ratio high and deal with spam.

> What’s an example use case of where you use that system to find a link?

An example use case is that I come across some interesting long-form article on a topic I'm following, e.g., Shackleton's expedition, that's published on a nice website and that I don't have time to read. I can just drop the link in the right topic and get back to it without too much difficulty. Or that's the hope, anyway. (Doesn't always work out that like that.)

Another thing I'm interested in is what the topic structure ends up looking like as it's more fully fleshed out. So sometimes I'll drop in random links even if they're not that interesting, just to build out the topics.
How did you discover HN? Genuinely interested, because your comment seems to be quite the opposite of what I expect here.

Agreed. An induction cooktop and electric stove are far superior to gas.
The Refresh Rate is the number of times per second that the screen is refreshed. It is typically measured in (Hz) which means Hertz.

A higher Refresh Rate means that the display can update the image more frequently, resulting in a smoother and more fluid motion. This is especially noticeable when watching fast-paced content such as action movies or playing fast-paced video games.

No. Term limits have nothing to do with the overall strategies being used by subversive non-government organizations. They function in the background and direct the party to steer policy in their favor. All of the deep research required to apply stress to the weak points of an institution is done at NGOs and the execution plan is essentially handed over to the party members and officials.
"which actually make the problem so much worse"

I'm sorry you haven't made that case at all. All you have done is listed the costs of the "term limits" side, you haven't listed any of the benefits. A couple off of the top of my head:

1. Seats would be up for effective election more often allowing for democracy to perhaps function more effectively. Perhaps there would be more of a market of ideas instead of cults of personality.

2. Less time for legislators to establish "ties" (corruption) with regulators, business leaders, party leaders, and others in power.
Almost like a test from my POV (non-American) ;).

However, based on web search results, it seems that this paper is a *humorous presentation* by Doug Zongker, a computer scientist from the University of Washington¹. He created this paper to mock the format and style of scientific papers and presentations, and to demonstrate how little content and meaning can be conveyed by using jargon and graphs³. The paper was presented at the AAAS humor session in 2007¹³, and has been viewed online by many people who find it amusing²³.

It’s getting closer to the point where we call the entire current “web” a Google-specific network, Google Chrome is renamed a “Google” browser instead of a web browser, and we re-make a new interlinked network which does not require one specific company’s product to use. (Never mind an advertisement company.)

The “Google” network and sites can be kept on as a necessary evil proprietary service, like Facebook is for many, and also LinkedIn.

Complaining that bash on macOS is old is valid, but it doesn’t seem relevant here. If you’re just going to use Powershell on Windows anyway, then surely bash doesn’t matter on either platform.

More relevant in my view is how well the workstation you use supports interacting with your build system. In many organizations, the actual build environment is only ever going to be Debian or alpine in a container, in which case, it doesn’t really matter which computer you have on your desk. If all your building happens remotely on a cloud instance, it hardly matters at all.

So by all means, use whatever computer you want. The great thing about the current era of computing is how little depends on the computer for getting work done. The author’s Chromebook story makes this point perfectly. Use what you have or what you like or what you can get, and get on with life, I say.

>Outside BofA, their balance sheets are healthy.

Woah, let's not over-exaggerate in times like these. Bank of America has about $110bn of unrealized losses on HTM securities, but that is against $200bn of Tier-1 capital. Comp that to SVB who had $16bn of unrealized losses against about that much Tier-1 capital.

BoA has a worse balance sheet that peers, but not an unhealthy one.

The protocol you're looking for is HDMI-CEC! Not a ton of good documentation out there, but hopefully this helps send you down a good path.
I honestly believe 90% of our police in the U.S. could not pass an EMT course.
Yes, they're in the 8.5%. I think something like 4% is direct agriculture in terms of fertiliser, methane, etc. The rest is transport, energy consumption, etc.

There is a further 10-15% of land-use degradation (eg. Amazon rainforest destruction), but this is dubious to include in the calcs and has a big variance depending on which study you look at.
For example: My beef comes from just up the road and is grass fed, going vegan has zero impact on that land-use degradation figure. It's a convenient luxury in a developed economy to go vegan, but good luck convincing developing nations to forgo the luxuries we've enjoyed for centuries because we screwed up the climate!

In my opinion, even if you started today it's not like the rainforests are going to be all replanted in a decade, nor are they going to grow to full rejuvenating capacity anytime in the next 50 years. People need to focus on the big things! More wind, more solar, more battery, less oil, more efficient industry, more eco-friendly concrete, reduce shipping, produce locally/consume locally, etc.
Jobs are better than no jobs, across the board.

More jobs increase the wealth of the employed.

More jobs improves the job market for the employees (more demand for their services).

More jobs helps (small and large) business owners (more wealth in the hands of customers).

I noticed that taking pain-killers is a very common thing in american TV shows. The main protagonist (male hero) gets hurt, goes to the bathroom, hastily pours a handful of pills into his hand and pops them into the mouth. Not one, but a hand full of pills, cleary too many. I've seen it so much, I'm starting to wonder if it's a TV trope.

I'm wondering if pharmaceutical companies are sponsoring this. It's akin to product placement.

It could probably stand to be bigger. It hasn't been updated in 15 years after all, and European countries have higher deposit insurance levels, so it's not some brand new frontier.

But really for me the question is that if you are the type person who has $250,000 in a bank account sitting around, and you want to keep still more in cash, why not just open a second account? If you want to keep a lot more, keep your money in a sweep vehicle ($5 million FDIC insurance for joint accounts) or simply buy treasuries which are perfectly liquid, as close to safe as possible, and pay you even more than a savings account.
In its latest incarnation yes, but for a long time prices were locked always to 5% +- of a average value. I'm not sure why that was done, but it must have some article somewhere.

When you are buying the lowest price offered get bought, when you are selling the highest bidder wins, given that the price you offer at least matches the other party
