Powell is already the most powerful man in the world and is about to get even more powerful

the FDIC fund is around $100 billion...the amount of deposits it is expected to cover is $14 trillion

the Fed will end up taking over the FDIC; the Fed's printing press is the only real backstop for even 10% of what Americans think the FDIC will "insure"

I hope Jerome Powell will be a benevolent dictator....
Haven’t seen it mentioned yet but .app appeals to me more than something like .io these days (it at least seems like a safer TLD than the latter).
So, now you have computers that show you the best moves, ok. But this knowledge still has to be squeezed into a human brain. So I don't see any problem with the match format. And even 'draw death' talks are laughable after latest candidates tournament and yours championship.
> Seems like the sibling network they discuss where people can become aware of who's related to them would solve that problem.

I'll also mention that such a sibling network can actually cause the problem.

> After tracking down her half-brother on Facebook, Ms Parra eventually met Mr Parra and the pair felt attracted to one another. "We didn't want to realise it, we were angry with ourselves because it was hard to admit and break that taboo: we are siblings even though we didn't feel that way."

> After just a few days, the half-siblings felt they couldn't carry on without seeing each other again. "Imagine liking a girl and, for a moral reason, being forbidden to be with her. It's really hard to deal with," Mr Parra declared.
I'm not sure what's bothering me about this article. Maybe... When was common-thing first done with X during the last 15 ky? Given that X was obvious once understood, and not hard to note? When the first existent written record mentions X. That... seems a fraught triple? I guess if "humanity [...] discover" has a scale or continuity requirement, that's clearly kept in mind. Eg, "the first clinical use of antibiotics was in the 1890's", the "first existent record of external cephalic version is from Hellenistic Greece".
For Chernobyl, what do you mean by "unsafe to visit"? Because it's a war zone? I remember a lot of people went in 2019 after the show came out and it was fine. They had a guide or took a dosimeter and weren't crawling over the melted core or anything like that. I don't think the radiation from a nuclear reactor meltdown had global impacts, can you cite something? Even the fallout from a full nuclear exchange at the peak of warhead counts would stay in the northern hemisphere.
Many authors write for most of their lives before they see success. Who is really suffering from copyright laws being longer than 20 years? Is there a giant void in culture because books go out-of-print? In cases of non-fiction and academics I can see there maybe being an issue with students not being able to learn, but with most fiction it's really ok to have to put some effort into obtaining a copy.

There are always new and amazing books being written. It's ok if some are difficult to obtain or abandoned. It's their creation and they can let it die.
Yeah, I like CSS. And I appreciate it much more since I have to use LaTeX for documents.

They already have a hard enough time finding highly qualified, competent, motivated people to staff government agencies without adding super life-limiting conditions. We really don't need to make that problem worse. Government jobs don't pay well enough to get great employees.
It is not a solid data point because it assumes that everyone has equal access to computing hardware and knowledge.

People from a more rural or economically poorer background would be discriminated against just because they did not have access to computers early in life.

Having earlier access to a computer and 'coding earlier' is no indicator of superior talent or current coding ability.

I always liked the idea that there's a reason not to be visible; pretty sure I saw it mentioned on HN first, it went something along the lines of us sending out messages and getting one back that says "SHH! They'll hear you."

Who said food shouldn't be a right?
Looks like that book talks about flax seeds and soy which is a red flag for quack territory.

If flax seed and soy are so estrogenic and bad, then let’s look at the evidence.

Meta analysis of 41 studies: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33383165/

> Sub-analysis of the data according to isoflavone dose and study duration also showed no effect. This updated and expanded meta-analysis indicates that regardless of dose and study duration, neither soy protein nor isoflavone exposure affects TT, FT, E2 or E1 levels in men.

They earn a lot from Fortnite sure.

Unreal engine is not technically open source, I’m aware that their revenue from it is that significant compared to Fortnite and they make money by taking a share of revenue from it’s users.

Not sure how all of that is relevant for open source though
. IBM/Red Hat, Google or even Oracle would be much better examples
I understand the author’s point yet think it’s OK.

Why? Because when I encounter “simple” in that context I read “If you understand the domain this package allows you to perform calculations (or whatever) and will operate in a way you will expect”.

Some examples: IEEE floating point is a simple FP standard, even though the document is really long and full of non-obvious cases and a couple of footguns for the naive. It’s simple for someone doing serious numerics (and even simple for a most common cases with a little training) because someone put the hard work in, so the user doesn’t have to code up allot of infrastructure.

MS word makes it easy for someone like me to change font sizes, center some text etc, but a sophisticated designer probably fights Word’s DWIM and would prefer a more sophisticated tool with more knobs, because that would be simpler for hem to use.

And so on.
The first article is just a claim with no evidence provided.

The second is based on some yet unreleased documents that Der Spiegel claims to have reviewed years ago.

Still no evidence to be found, only claims.
Your perspective is valid and this will hurt creators but a bit of "market destruction" can be positive. TLDRs tools aren't silver bullets, they will make dark patterns less viable and creators that make short & informative content more attractive.
While I agree that art has become more static since the dawn of the internet, the same can definitely be said about music, particularly pop music, which hasn't advanced significantly since the 2000s. However in various corners, sampling and synthesis have advanced by leaps and strides over the past decade. Also if you're just limiting visual art to painting, I think you're skipping over an entire era of installation-based and generative art (not necessarily machine learning-based) that has only recently flourished. And just to touch on your first point, "pop art" has been a term since the 50s. It overlaps pretty significantly with the visual style of comic books, which are most prominent in animated features and video games today. Corporate art similarly has its own style (think those flat diverse figures with bright colors). I'm not even sure how one would start to compare the relative "popularity" of these two domains, let alone determine that "music" is more popular than "art".
DIY Adapter: Using an e-bike battery to run a laptop
I really enjoy working remotely, like properly out in the woods. For whatever reason most of the 'desktop replacement' laptops refuse to use external USB-PD battery banks so I designed a quick in-line adapter around an industrial DC/DC converter. Its fairly quick to assemble and thought this might be of interest to some of you.

For that reason most of the high end restaurants in my area have separate menus for take out. Usually it's just their regular menu limited to the dishes that travel best, but often times they'll have dishes that are exclusively for their takeout menu (you can still ask for them when dining in)
This is not a direct answer to your question, but performance is better in terms of the _quality_ of completions but not in terms of price, latency, or uptime.
My stove does.

My water heater does, but the little recirculation pump on it doesn't so it takes longer to get hot water at a distant faucet.

My central heat does not.
A 10% tip is still OK if the service is no more than mediocre... or did I just date myself ?
Hey, thanks! I didn’t realize they have a prediction API. I assumed I’d need to produce a lot of this data myself from a giant csv or similar. This is awesome!
"Tech" isn't enough.
You need to add talent, intelligence, perseverance, good management, vision, and luck.
Since the PC revolution made selling beta-test software routine, and "turn it off and back on again that should make it work differently" became a reasonable fix for machines supposedly following deterministic algorithms, it was kind of predictable that the self-driving cars and the one-drop blood tester weren't going to work as well as their PR people said.

> This whole "gas is bad for the environment" is bunk when fossil fuels are required to generate al that electricity

Practically all of the US has some renewable mix, so all the US already away from fossil fuels generating "all" the electricity (renewables + nuclear being 0%).

Over 30% of the electricity in my home is from wind and solar alone.

You also really shouldn't be using your stove to provide warmth in your home since you're probably not venting out the NOx, CO2, and CO emissions. CO poisoning kills a lot of people doing what you're claiming is a benefit.
I clicked on this to see if by any chance you included Toby Rush's "Music Theory for Musicians and Normal People." I see it's recommended in the "Where To Start" section, but then you say to intensify a fear for classical music theory... and I'm not sure what you are implying there.

I remember coming across that document many years ago when messing around with music composition. The funny thing is, I went to college with Toby Rush and worked with him at the college library. He was an incredible source of information and I'd pick his brain trying to understand various concepts.

I was several pages into his guide before I made the connection that I knew the author.

The moonshots will still come, they might just not be from Facebook / Apple / Google / ETC. Bell Labs, the automakers, Nokia, Standard oil, Dutch East India Company were all big and powerful for their time. Just because they are no longer big and powerful, doesn’t mean the moonshots are over. Or that there won’t be any more in Silicon Valley.
The secret is to not use any apis and just scrape with abandon (and then to only build it for yourself so that you don't get sued)
I've seen solid evidence that this helps support gender bias. In "the West", disproportionately more boys than girls start to learn to program in the age range you mentioned. [1] A selection method which gives preferences for a younger start year will therefore also be biased in favor of males.

If two candidates are equally competent at the coding/system-design questions, then I don't see what difference it makes if one candidate started at 11 and the other at 16. You'll also want to know how much time they spent programming - 1 hour per month? 1 hour per day? did they stop for a few years? Also, what was the actual programming? Because entering BASIC games from a book, as I did in the 1980s, vs. hacking Spice Lisp at CMU (as jwz did at age 16) are both "programming", but I know who you should have hired as an employee, and it wasn't me.

[1] I'll quote https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3196839.3196867 as the first paper I found which discusses the underlying issue, and with supporting evidence:

> Computing education has experienced a falling popularity over the last decades, in particular among girls [15, 18, 29]. The situation does not seem to be improving, either in Norway or in other Western countries. We even see a drop in the number of women in computing studies in the humanities that used to attract more women [30].

> In contrast to the Western picture, certain Asian and Eastern European countries have not followed this trend and can boast a higher proportion of women in computer science [8, 50]. This leads us to conclude that there is no obvious, natural or biological reason for women being a minority in computing or for computing being associated with masculinity.

> Such associations are rather results of social structures and specific cultural constructions that have made it less likely for women to choose computing across most of the Western world [8, 52].

> Cultural images and stereotypes have been documented as being vital in creating barriers for girls’ and women's engagement in IT [5, 10], also in Norway [18].
Oh, I built something similar with Homematic. When one of our mousetraps closes, I immediately get a message via my Pushover app.
54% of Vancouver's CO2 emissions come from natural gas home heating so yep, banning it makes tons of sense.

I couldn't find the source but I think there actually might be a carve out to continue to allow for natural gas for cooking, but in practice, no one but the foolish super rich (or perhaps some professional commissary kitchens) is going to go to the bother of doing a nat gas hookup for for a stove, so gas stoves are going to become deprecated as a side effect of the more impactful change around home heating.

I've been hearing about the dangers of Teflon for at least a quarter century.

Lawsuits were being settled in the 9-figure range as far back as 2001 - they kept making it, and actively covered up what they knew, tobacco firm style.

I haven't watched it yet, but 'The Devil We Know' apparently goes in depth on this, with very highly rated reviews. I don't need to be that angry right now though; I know enough about Du Pont for "strong opinions" as it is.
Organisms competing with other organisms is what has created intelligent life. I think more of that competition would only lead to even more intelligent life.

It's a claim made by the head of the agency that did it. If you're not willing to take their word, I think you're being stubborn and obtuse and this will never be a productive discussion.

If you're willing to believe a US whistleblower -- whose evidence you can't personally verify -- you have to be open to believing the _former head of the agency_.
Completely disagree that this is a form of virtue signaling; everything the article outlines is reflected in the major documentation style guides (e.g., MMoS or the Google developer documentation style guide).

- Don't make unsubstantiated claims about your product.

- Don't discuss upcoming features or refer to existing features as "new" outside of announcements/release notes.

- Don't make promises about uptime or other things that belong in an SLA—this can have nasty legal implications down the line.

- Don't waste time with marketing-speak; your reader is either already using your product or is on the verge of using your product (and consulting the quality of your docs before they decide to move forward).

- Don't use ambiguous language or cultural idioms that may confuse ESL readers.

- Don't preface instructions with how easy it is to do something; every reader has a different level of experience and background knowledge. Also, if you say that your product is easy to use and then it actually isn't, it makes you look like an idiot. Or disingenuous. Or both.

That’s really interesting that the particulates were comparable from induction and gas cooking. If you did any more comparisons and recorded them anywhere, I’d be curious to read more about them.

I’m guessing this might be a temperature dependent issue. I enjoy using a cast iron to brown meats, but I really dial it back in homes without true range hoods (e.g. they vent back indoors). If I go for maybe 25% browning, I can massively reduce the smoke. It feels a shame to not do a steak to perfection, but when I’ll prefer that to venting the whole place for an hour.
One of the rare times where I agree that someone being infuriated by these words is a bit ridiculous. It's not like they're offensive or emotionally manipulative, it's merely a matter of someone's style of writing or just a means of encouraging someone to do the task that might otherwise seem daunting by virtue of being one of a hundred tasks they have to do that day. It can be annoying but complaining about hyperbolic words and then saying they are "infuriating" is a tad ironic.
You're kinda missing the point. It's not about number of cars or bikes per capita standing in a garage but rather how the cities are built differently. Everything is designed for walking and bikes. In the US, they are designed for cars.

Note that while container queries are available in modern browsers' most recent versions, it is still very fresh, with broad support landing in September, and Firefox support just last month: https://caniuse.com/css-container-queries

If you use them, you'll need to show outdated browser warnings for basically all browsers older than September 2022. Your site will be horrifically broken without container query support.

I'm investigating if we want to even do that at my job. That's a pretty steep cost.
Very interesting! I'll try that when mine turns two!
The only visible stuff SV produces anymore are gimmick apps like social media, and now people are catching on to the fact these apps are really just surveillance tools for larger interests.

So many complaints. In Helsinki a weekend brunch in the range of 20€-24€ will not have warm entrees, except maybe some eggs and some weenies. 30€ or more will get you an acceptable selection of warm foods.

Altho to be fair, VAT is included and tips are unnecessary.

Maybe the math all works out w.r.t. coastal brunches.

Nix has a vast ecosystem and conceptually rich foundations, but it can also be useful without touching any of that. 'I just want to use this one program in this weird environment' is a totally reasonable use case for Nix, and that can be where you happily stay with it for years. I'm 'into' Nix now, but that's how it was for me for a long time, and using Nix at that level requires very little learning investment.

With Nix-on-Droid, I encourage you to:

- enable flakes, because it makes some things easier and the evaluation caching speedup is critical on slow little ARM devices
- run `nix registry pin nixpkgs` right away, then `nix search nixpkgs` to get the slow stuff out of the way
- don't bother with Home Manager yet. It's good stuff, but your needs at this point are minimal and it's more to learn.
- to quickly try out R, run `nix shell nixpkgs#R`! When that's done running, R will be on your PATH

Have fun! Feel free to keep it simple, but if you do have questions, regulars on discourse.nixos.org are super nice and super smart. :)
The enigma is that if civilization is common, we should see evidence of mass colonization even if only a single "spreader" civilization developed. Among the millions of civilizations out there, are we assuming that none of them were expansionary?

The conclusion: civilization is uncommon OR we are unable to detect civilizations for some reason OR there is something intrinsic about civilization that prohibits the development of "spreaders".

Don't know where you live, but check what it takes to end up nominated as a candidate in one of the top parties in your country. It's either the wealthy and well connected elites or the unscrupulous psychos that end up lying, cheating and backstabbing their way to the top.

Much the same could be said about Ron Paul. I think that's worth a pitch because their policies are diametrically opposed, the results however were staggeringly similar.
