Why should they dial the ostentation back?
When being “first” is not a competitive advantage
Not at all, but I am saying that a large fraction of the most visible people who are very publicly evangelizing for it do. If the movement can't convince its evangelists to make the significant lifestyle changes they are demanding of everyone, why would you expect others to adopt them first?

I am half convinced that Greta Thunberg was given a lot of media attention because they finally found someone evangelizing for the cause (with enough political connections, etc) who was actually willing to lead by example.
The problem is that airline industry people are actually also the most qualified (on paper) to run the FAA.

That’s inflation and sticky prices for you. The prices won’t go down. There was too much free money given away in the pandemic for that. But steps could be taken to reduce interest rates, if there was political will. Resuming student loan payments (and interest) would go a long way towards that.

Google Cloud boss Kurian’s rocky path to profit
Yeah, we are living through that horror as well, turns out roughly half of the people we know that have an induction stove ended up having either multiple replacements or live with the peculiarities of their unit. It’s not cheap stuff as well, one couple have a high end Miele one that goes completely haywire if anything drops on its surface and that is after getting one replacement and one “upgrade”…
Much more money is spent on climate change propaganda than there is on gas propaganda. I see climate change propaganda almost every day, but pro fossil propaganda extremely rarely. I think that this is because fossil fuels are extremely useful in practice, and so the users don’t need to be convinced of their benefits.
Hard to take the WCC seriously when everyone know Carlsen would have won and just find the whole thing too boring to take part.
They've been a massive positive for chess.

People (especially young people) aren't being introduced to its excitement and beauty via Ding & Nepo playing loooooooong matches in championships like this.

They may go on to watch the world championship after Botez have converted them though.
> You are never going to out-accelerate the truck in front of you.

Trucks are quite slow though, if you have a reasonably fast car you can absolutely get ahead of them before they close out your lane. Especially if you are alongside them to start with and not behind them.
> What are they supposed to do, not have a world championship?

Yes, that’s a reasonable proposal. Title matches don’t have to happen on a fixed schedule like the Super Bowl, and in the past, they didn’t. They were ad-hoc and happened whenever a worthy contender raised enough prize money to challenge the current champion, who had a lot of leeway in negotiating the format and venue.

Silly Baboons, Stubborn Elephants II: Navigating Culture Differences
I will give them credit, it's gotten somewhat better in the last few years, but we went a LONG time with:

* badly broken group chats
* problems with long multi-part messages (sending and receiving both)
* REALLY bad compression on images (well beyond common carrier size requirements)
* missing basic features like read receipts
* problems with messages not being sent/received correctly via carrier "wifi calling"
* and of course some of the intentionally irritating features they added like the way iOS sends "reactions"

I've seen it from both the iOS and Android sides over the years, using both OSs myself, and helping others with issues, and I just can't draw any conclusion from it besides that Apple was either completely apathetic, or intentionally wanted to make SMS a bad experience.

I worked for the company for 10 years and was a big believer when iMessage first came out, but it still irks me that the promised of iMessage as an open standard never came to pass. In meme terms: "You were the chosen one Apple, you were supposed to bring balance to messaging, not leave it in darkness!"
People don't forget that part, but people fail to understand that part. It's a fallacy to say that people can keep firearms only in regards to service in a state organized militia. This has been roundly rejected by all constitutional scholars of any merit. Those that espouse that point of view are not taking the statement in the context and time in which it was written.

Even if you do not support the conservative leaning of the current supreme Court it must be acknowledged that they do view things in a originalist intention. This is why they have rejected this point of view as it is completely incorrect.
Agreed. I for one feel that it’s not very important, and I wouldn’t implement a monarchy if designing a country from scratch, but I also wouldn’t remove the current one.
“X% think the monarchy is ‘quite important’”, or summat. Next poll, please, please, please drill into why these folks think it is important. Because I’m trying to come up with something for which the monarchy is important, and I’m truly at a loss as a non-resident.

EDIT: all great answers (except the snarky one) that gave me some insight, thanks.
The cartoon at the top of the article highlights the fact that the laws aren't working (the UK was in the EU when some of these people were imprisoned).
Why? Looks like a few normal young people drinking and having fun, what is wrong with that?
Why do property taxes need to fund the school / why does wealth class dictate the quality of schooling you’re entitled to? Shouldn’t we give the best schooling to the students that will take the most advantage of it / get the most benefit out of it? There’s all sorts of stories about how privilege at birth gets you into all sorts of elite places through a mix of wealth (bribes) and connections. Yet true expertise in more objective fields (eg STEM) does not reward those as easily.

Look at Ontario, Canada [1]. There’s an equal funding formula out of the general pool of funds for the province largely based on how many students are in your school board. The Toronto School Board (and I imagine other school boards too) then distribute their funds similarly [2]. School fundings isn’t tied to property taxes and it’s fundamentally weird to tie anything to property taxes as it gives back in services more to those areas that are already advantaged and creates skewed voting incentives.

I’m not saying that education in Canada was perfect, but I found the public school system to be decent enough with lots of opportunity to excel regardless and generally an equalizer (home dynamics it can’t correct for and is a huge problem). For example, I went to a well-regarded STEM magnate program that had objective entrance requirements that I had to travel to embedded within the public school. Out of two I got into, I ended up picking one closer because it was more convenient for my mom even though the other one I got into was a bit better regarded / and somehow had better funding (maybe more students but I suspect also outside funding drives / donations).

This travel problem repeats all the time with charter schools and is my main problem with the idea - when you’re wealthy travel is less of a problem (eg you have a very flexible work schedule).

Is the motivation to minimize the seriousness of Watergate? I just take it as a lazy way of tagging a story and I suspect many headline writers couldn't even summarise what the original Watergate scandal involved.
> Despite the importance of their actions, named whistleblowers are often subjected to oppressive and stigmatized labels—like "snitch" or "leaker."

Modern societies are predicated on the notion that laws apply equally to all members of the society and transgressions are identified by authorities (the executive) and punished in a transparent manner by courts (the judicial), acting under the rule of laws set in place by government bodies (the legislative) that are responsive to the general population's interests.

There are those who are scoffing to themselves at this description, and their viewpoint has some historical merit. The "stationary bandit" theory of government is a common alternative view: criminal elements with no respect for the above concept of equal treatment under the law infiltrate and take over governments so that they can engage in criminal activity while being protected by the very powers of state authority that were intended to keep their activities in check.

These organized crime cartels then have the legislators rewrite the laws so that their criminal behavior is protected and not prosecuted (witness the failure of the US government to prosecute any of the major fraudsters involved in the 2008 economic collapse, or to prosecute the members of government who lied about WMDs in Iraq in 2002-2003, or to prosecute those involved in the illegal domestic mass surveillance operation, or to prosecute those pushing opiates on the population, etc.).

The more blatant organized crime cartels (mafia, drug cartels, etc.) are well-known for calling members of their organizations who testify against them in court names like 'rats', 'snitches', and so on. If this becomes widespread behavior (major US media figures calling Snowden a 'weasel' come to mind), then it becomes rather clear that the government and its major corporate affiliates have become a kleptocracy run by a group of stationary bandits. We could call this a 'public-private partnership', I suppose. For more:

It’s a travesty that Edward Snowden is still a fugitive in the United States. James Clapper went in front of congress and lied about the scope of surveillance on US citizens. Snowden saw it as his moral obligation to expose those lies, and he did it in the least destructive way possible by leaking the evidence to qualified journalists.
Congrats to Ding but brutal for Nepo. Had a winning position in game 12, and rushed that move in game 14 when Rc3? would have been winning. Winning the candidates tournament twice is such a huge feat, not sure if he can win again to challenge.
Are the source code and build instructions used to create these libs available for folks who want to reproduce the standalone artifacts?

This reminds me of why I stopped trying to compile C++ stuff on windows; there are too many incompatible series of MSVC and project compilation can be a major undertaking.

Maven + JDK and Golang build systems aren't perfect, but they tend to be predictable and have worked out a lot better for me across many dimensions. :)

Life is full of papercuts. You just have to choose your battles wisely when taking them on, whether it’s software or a creaky floor in your house or anything else.
How to abolish it? Just quit talking about it or caring about it. It's public attention that makes it anything at all.

Imaginary specialness invested in such a group of supercilious incompetents is baffling. Magical thinking.
Obviously getting rid of gas stoves is good for the environment. In the US, the only conceivable use I see for them longer term is camping stoves and extremely remote houses that don't have electricity.

I'm guessing you have some other view from your comment, please explain.
Love it! It's my new favourite HN News theme. I've been using it for the past couple of weeks and haven't looked back.
I'm not sure what to make of studies like this sometimes, as the problem is sometimes more in the heterogeneity than in the typical case. Two wrongs don't make a right.

I've seen gender bias of both forms in academic settings, over and over again. Cases where women were treated grossly unacceptably because of their gender, even if it was mostly implicit and cast in terms of proxy issues; I've also seen cases where things happened in such a way as to benefit women, solely because of their gender, that would cause a firestorm if they were discussed openly in the public discourse.

My guess is on average things might look ok across the broader institution(s), but that average would be burying a lot of problems of both forms. I don't see a paper like this really helping in this regard. Swinging from one form of sexism to another is not the same as being as gender-blind as is possible.
That's actually how I got started with Android, running a full Debian off an ext4 partition of which I had to compile the module, I went the route of 'setprop ctl.stop zygote and media' and ran on the FB, it ran surprisingly well, a slight bug in the MSM FB driver with color formatting though that I found and fixed. ( I think it was my first post on XDA actually, https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/howto-install-gnu-linux-o... ) pictures are now gone but I have the web server archived somewhere so maybe one day. But i got to use and maintain a lot of my Linux knowhow I'd not really maintained because of life, 12 years later and I'm still messing with Android phones. New and old. On f-droid there is AnLinux (Run Linux On Android Without Root Access)
https://f-droid.org/packages/exa.lnx.a/ that straps around Termux, and using xsdl-xserver (sourceforge) you have a pretty decent desktop, using a usb/hdmi/vga adapter and all is well.
The above is correct. Additionally, they even mention natural gas as a viable alternative in the abstract:

"It is essential to expand use of clean fuels and technologies to reduce household air pollution and protect health. These include solar, electricity, biogas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), natural gas, alcohol fuels, as well as biomass stoves that meet the emission targets in the WHO Guidelines."
It didn’t work, it just showed my contact card

Even hey Siri, lock my phone will unlock it happily with my face
Or why you should know the side-button 5 click shortcut to lock the device’s biometrics.

The problem is that this is all about trade offs with no single optimal choice: for example, this only matters with cops who aren’t willing to threaten violence to get you to unlock your phone, and using a password incentivizes weak ones and gives someone else the opportunity to watch you enter it (say, at the police station when given a chance to call a lawyer).

What’s probably better in this case would Photos having a minimum deletion time like Dropbox, or simply streaming it because then you know it can’t be deleted and control precisely when that’s active because other people would really like to be able to delete their stuff when the secret police break down their doors.
I’ll take the convenience of using FaceID over the possibility of being in a situation where it’s used against me. I don’t think that people should be generally worried about these scenarios.
This comment is not to agree or disagree with your comment, but to informally provide an interesting finding.

Economies are more or less urban regions surrounded by rural areas with low population density. So, Nashville, DFW, Denver, etc. are regional economies.

I have found it interesting in recent research to find that the level of disparity in health inequity (called Social Determinants of Health, one of which is the 'Area Deprivation Index' managed by UW-Madison) and race/ethnicity is somewhat dependent on which regional economy you review. I can't speak for all regional economies, but the ten I looked into show interesting variation on the strength of economic disparity and the composition of race and ethnic groups.
Epstein was much closer to Bill Gates than Stallman. We know how things turned out for one and for the other.

> Hill is a Christian, historian, pacifist, teacher, writer, activist and republican. At the start of the ceremony, which focused on the queen’s death, he was silent: “I wouldn’t interrupt somebody’s grief.” But when “they declared Charles rightful liege lord, and acknowledged our obedience to him as our only king”, Hill had heard enough. “I find this language very demeaning, and I called out ‘Who elected him?’” To his astonishment, he found himself surrounded by security, arrested and eventually charged under the Public Order Act 1986.

My point is that public support is meaningless when expressing lack of support is criminalized. GOD SAVE THE KING on pains of imprisonment.

Their existence depends on the tolerance of the taxed. Burn that out and theyll have to work for a living.

Edit as I can’t reply…. Japan’s royalty has been around far longer but isn’t particularly fancy. Denmark’s is similar in duration to the post Norman uk, similarly “mild”. People don’t like seeing such behaviour in lean times.
Altars dedicated to the character Princess Zelda from the popular Nintendo video game series "The Legend of Zelda" have been spotted on the streets of Naples, Italy. Created by artists Zeal Off and They Live, the altars are a unique interpretation of the city's urban art and pay tribute to the upcoming release of the game's latest installment, "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom." The altars have been placed in various neighborhoods throughout the city and draw inspiration from traditional religious altars and others dedicated to public figures like Diego Maradona.
I remember lots of rumours about Epstein and his jet. I don’t recall people being widely derided as cranks

Hell from 2008 onwards Epstein was a conflicted child sex trafficker. Hardly an unimpeachable target.

There really were some genuine conspiracies. P2 in Italy is a prominent one.

But that doesn’t make every conspiracy theory correct or even most of them.
Yet I somehow think constitutional monarchies work. There is a reason (I don't know what) that the european ones are in the western richer + generally strong and high functioning democratic countries (Spain, UK, Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Luxembourg).
If I took this attitude then I'd be excluding myself from relationships that are a net positive in my life. Mismatched sex drive is genuinely not a big deal for me. Often we're both on the same page and that's great. But when we're not, it's not a huge deal for me to have sex I don't want just to keep the peace. In my view, it's no different to other forms of compromise and sacrifice in relationships. Furthermore I think this is common in relationships. To maintain a stable relationship, low libido partners often do have to "make an effort" and manage some of the pressure that comes from dating a higher libido partner.

IMO in an ideal world there would never be any pressure or obligation associated with any interaction. But in the real world, "okay" must have a wide enough margin to include situations that aren't ideal but are limited in terms of harm caused and moral responsibility of participants. It can't be that I am a rape victim for not wanting to hurt my partners feelings by sexually rejecting them. Some pressure is surely okay.
Better yet, keep proper definitions and equations and then drive interesting animations from "real deal" code!

I've been working for a couple of years on a computer algebra system written in Clojure (named "Emmy") designed for writing this like. It's a port of Gerald Sussman's scmutils library, plugged in to a bunch of modern graphics libraries.

Here are a few examples, shamefully lacking exposition since much of this is JUST working and I was powering through demos for a talk:

- particle in a quartic potential well: https://sritchie.github.io/clojure-conj-2023/notebooks/conj/...

- Phase Portrait of the Pendulum: https://sritchie.github.io/clojure-conj-2023/notebooks/conj/...

- Dual Number Visualization: https://sritchie.github.io/clojure-conj-2023/notebooks/conj/...

I'd love a textbook like the one you link above with figures that feel almost like Kerbal games, powered by the real code in the book that is ALSO generating the math you see.

How to upgrade Ubuntu but preserve your Docker versioned application stack
A little review of the incredible coincidences that led to Epstein's death by suicide

- When Epstein was placed in the Security Housing Unit (SHU), the jail informed the Justice Department that he would have a cellmate and that a guard would look into the cell every 30 minutes. These procedures were not followed on the night he died.

- On August 9, Epstein's cellmate was transferred, and no replacement was brought in.

- The evening of his death, Epstein met with his lawyers, who described him as "upbeat".

- CCTV footage shows that the two guards failed to perform the required institutional count at 10:00 p.m. and recorded Noel briefly walking by Epstein's cell at 10:30 p.m., the last time the guards entered the tier where his cell was located.

- Through the night, in violation of the jail's normal procedure, Epstein was not checked every 30 minutes.

- The two guards assigned to check his cell overnight, Noel and Michael Thomas, BOTH fell asleep at their desk for about three hours and later falsified related records.

- Two cameras in front of Epstein's cell also malfunctioned THAT night.

"Conspiracy theory" is a uselessly broad word. I will continue to consider the available information and use my own intuition in all cases. The linking of all "conspiracy theories" into a single gigantic "us vs them" is one of the most ridiculous fallacies of our time.

It's also unclear in this case what specific claims you are saying were widely derided. I saw a lot of claims based on observation that were not widely derided, and a few unreasonable claims that relied on unavailable specificity and were mostly just a political attack (X political figure knowingly committed Y specific crime). Again, your criticism appears to be predicated on a worldview where there are two immutable teams: People who completely believe all theories that involves conspiracy, and people who completely disbelieve all theories that involve conspiracy.
I suspect Magnus would disagree.
Conspiracies happen. They are just really hard to maintain. Conspiracies that require all of the rich and powerful or the entire government to maintain secrecy, are probably bullshit.

Epstein is likely a real conspiracy. However I do believe most people he engaged with didn’t know what was going on. My best guess is that he was a CIA operative who was useful due to his reach.
