I'm sure most of the HN audience doesn't need this pitch, so the following is for those not in the software, databases, or IT industry.

MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database.

.io is a very popular TLD with software developers. Google's ad targeting treats .io as a generic top-level domain (gTLD).

I'm sure mysql.io will appeal a lot to the software engineers and software developers in your customer base. Given that MySQL is a database system, designed solely to optimize applications' and businesses' storage input/output, MySQL.io would be quite fitting for MySQL-based products and brands.

You might be especially interested in buying this domain if your company/product is listed on the https://mysql.io homepage.
> There are 0 merit scholarships available to whites.

False. There are both non-school private, school-based, and many state programs open to Whites, and, in fact, whites receive them disproportionately under many of the programs. [0]

> All scholarships at the major state universities in my state have a race based restriction.

Even if that’s true (and the claim is vague enough that is impossible to conclusively falsify without reviewing the scholarships available at major state universities in all 50 states), there is a big difference between “there are no merit scholarships available to whites” and “there are no merit scholarships funded at the major state universities in my unspecified state that are open to whites” (and even if the latter was true, there are non-school-specific merit scholarships open to Whites that could be used at those schools.)

A book will probably explain a concept better than a YT video but the former will probably require many hours of reading and the latter just a couple minutes or an hour at most. Only "better" if time and effort aren't taken into account.

If it helps, I travel frequently between the Bay Area and NYC, and NYC is noticeably cheaper to eat out in than Bay Area. Maybe it’s the density of restaurants and the competition?

Pre-win 10, windows said my dad's computer couldn't upgrade. That it needed replacing. This was relatively common IME. As it happened, I managed to install it anyway and it ran at least as well as the previous Win 7 did. (Two other family computers were the same; a couple of computers at my dad's work I saved from the dump too [just by upgrading them, they continued to use them]).

Now they say he can't upgrade [that 'last ever version' thing didn't last, huh] ... I've not found a way around the current restrictions yet?

It's quite good at the moment, there are a flood of good second hand systems from businesses who are upgrading.

There's no problem with MS developing beyond their current systems. Indeed it feels like they go too far with backward compatibility. But lying (or putting in false requirements) in order to get hardware scrapped is just wrong -- do home users really need TPM2, seems more like a nice to have to me.

The reality is that most people will not repurpose a computer, they throw them out. Rarely (in UK) the device might make it to a computer recycling place. Heck, I've seen people throw out computers because the "you're low on disk space" warning came up.

The History of Cursor Keys
Investing heavily in nuclear isn't going to remove 99.99% the sources of greenhouse gasses. Adding some taxes will reduce some of the usage but not 99.99%, unless you price the tax so high nobody can realistically afford jet fuel or diesel or propane or steak or bacon. Increasing the price of concrete might make projects more expensive, but they're probably still going to use concrete.

Neither of these are 99.99%. Probably not even 80%.

Fortran is a fine programming language. It's very simple, very performant, and very portable.

I want to like e-readers but they all are lacking for me, at least on my last look. Is there one that will allow me to double space a book and annotate it between the lines and switch the double spacing/annotations on/off? From what I have seen the ones that allow annotations do it in a hyperlink style, I just want to be able to mark it up with a red pen like I can a normal book but get double spacing thrown in for free so I am not restricted to writing in the margins.
> I'll definitely want my country's Secretary of Health to be a doctor who understands public health and its related policies, not a politician whose primarily skill is being popular and getting elected.

Why not? The head of the WHO is not a medical doctor, he's a doctor in the sense that he has a PhD.

There is probably no organization more trusted than the WHO.
Personally, I like the small paragraphs of a couple sentences— that's how I was taught to format an article in journalism school.

>A Health Secretary who's not a doctor
would find it difficult to judge if they're
being fed the right information by
their advisers.

That's the point of being a good manager. Being able to forge personal relationships and to trust your underlings. Having experience in an industry isn't that helpful when dealing with policy that lies outside a heads direct field of expertise.

Being a doctor doesn't automatically provide a greater insight into what would make policies more successful. Yes he might have first hand knowledge of conditions on the ground, but the longer he's been out of doctoring the less up to date he will be and he will just be stuck with old notions
of what things were like years ago.

Your point about boeing is irrelevant, because the managment these had motives beyond engineering excellence, i.e making money.

Current pop music is the result of an industrial process (teams of writers, complex recording and post processing, and of course, focus groups all along the way) so a transformer system just automates some of that. The process is rather fascinating, actually, though personally I find the output mostly pretty dull.

I don’t know about “democratization” — what incentive is there for someone to make that kind of stuff at home? Once upon a time you could imagine being found like, say, Bieber or Elvis, but if the factories can pump that stuff out easily, the commercial sphere will be fully populated, as with other industrial consumer products like breakfast cereal (how much cereal is sold at Farmer’s markets?).

Homemade music will remain what it has always been — fun.

Meh. "Add a new breakpoint when things look bad" has worked pretty well for the web for a long time.

Also, all browsers these days just do a fancy page zoom instead of directly manipulating font size. It's a much better setup than what we had to do in days of yore, e.g. using different units on different properties so that things didn't fall apart on size increase.
I sure hope so. VR right NOW is amazing and fun, so if it becomes more accessible, comfortable, and standardized, I think it has a chance at breaking into the mainstream. It's going to take some serious electrical and hardware engineering though to get the form factor small and comfortable enough that people don't find it a huge pain.
Strip mining gravitational wells is a dumb thing anyway used for ali n invasion plot devices.

There's probably plenty of resources for even extensive interstellar civilizations in asteroids.

Once you can cart around a solar system pretty easily, it's probably far less resource intensive to mine Asteroids and not have to deal with gravity wells, atmospheres, and chemically reactive environments.

If you dropped in the solar system needing rare earths would you conquer humanity, extract the resources from our metal poor crust, and drag them up to orbit, or park your ship next to that asteroid with sixteen quintillion dollars of rare earths?

Even mercury or a host of moons would be far easier.

> But when you dig into the details, it seems like the regulation may not have much effect on climate change at all.

When Vancouver banned natural gas hookups in new buildings in 2022 the justification was that they pointed to the fact that 54% of CO2 emissions in the city came from home heating. The next biggest source was transportation, I think 39%ish.

It's a clear reasonable move, as just like when you're trying to improve performance of a computer program, you start with the biggest numbers and see if you can make it smaller.

Presumably other cities in areas that use natural gas for home heating as much as Vancouver are also seeing home heating be a very large percentage of their CO2 emissions.

If we can trivially, simply through some minor regulations cut over time the emissions of every city in NA by 50% that's clearly a massive improvement and well worth doing?

If this is not worth doing in an effort to tackle the climate change problem I do not know what is.

To me this feels like one of the easiest low hanging fruit things we can do there is.
Just to be clear - if you are trying to amass enough proof to bring to the media, but expect to be fired any day now, the logical thing to do is to exfiltrate as much of what could be relevant and sort out the rest after.

Say you exfiltrate not enough and are fired. You're shit out of luck, and there is no way to infiltrate someone else to your position to get the rest out.

I doubt you can honestly see his actions as reckless or revengeful.
> whistleblowers are trouble makers often ... Why? Because people who are good and social with the group do not have a contrarian character.

Most "troublemakers", as you call them, that I have known are people deeply moral and worried about their peers and society. I have seen two types, thou. Some have such a strong moral compass that will fight for what is right even knowing that it will have consequences. And the naive ones that think that, as they are morally right, the structures of power will recognize their sins and correct the situation. None of them were anti-social.

But that is just my personal experience.
Hi!

Wordbots is a long-running side project I've been working on on-and-off for the past ~7 years that I finally feel comfortable enough with to share with the HN community.

It's an online tactical card game (inspired by games like Hearthstone and Magic: the Gathering), where players write their own cards in natural language, that gets parsed down to JavaScript.

The resulting game gets pretty wacky as players can create all sorts of cards, though there are some game formats that try to produce more balanced gameplay as well (e.g. one format in which both players shuffle their decks together, and various draft formats).

If you're curious about how it all works, I made a write-up about it here:
https://app.wordbots.io/how-it-works

And if you want to chat about Wordbots beyond this thread, please don't hesitate to join our discord at https://discord.wordbots.io/ . I'd love to hear any and all feedback.

Makes the Fermi paradox even more interesting and the hypothesis of a great filter more likely.

IMHO there's a fair chance we're past such a filter. The origin of life from simple organic matter (abiogenesis) may be extremely unlikely (although most researchers currently working on this say it was probably not that complicated). Or the origin of big, energy rich cell life (eucaryotes) was a very rare event (it did require colossal changes in a very short time frame). Or maybe the origin and survival of intelligence is the hard part.

But i think more likely the filter is ahead of us. Less than a century ago we invented nuclear weapons. Already had a few near misses on a civilization ending nuclear war. More and more countries are acquiring such weapons. And this is provided we got extremely lucky that separating weapon grade isotope of uranium from the naturally occurring ores on Earth surface is very hard. If it was easier for small dictatorships and organizations like Isis to get nukes we'd be probably back to stone age by now. And with the scientific and technological progress going faster than ever, sooner or later we will invent even more powerful weapons, that are easier to produce - which will make the survival of the human race problematic.

I'd agree with you. My sentence was bad in that it oversells that book. That book is merely one baby step in the right direction.

As excited as I am about Minsky's hypothesis that the brain is a society of agents, your point is the more important one that the process is more important.

I also think Minsky would have agreed with you. His process seemed to be the Feynman "What I cannot create, I do not understand" approach. His thoughts on the brain were developed from building robots and multi-agent simulations and AI. Whereas the DSM says "here are the conditions, take this pill, pay us", he would say "we have no idea, let's keep building until we understand".
> I think we have Chrome to thank for modern web design.

I think it's less the dominance of Chrome itself and more the demise of Internet Explorer. The problem was that it didn't get updated like normal software, it was somehow tied to the OS, so old outdated versions lingered around for far too long, limiting what technologies web developers could use.

Not that any of this matters to the conversation about gas, my points still stand. Last winter we hit -10F, and there were power outages, so having gas meant having heat when it was extremely cold.

> I’ll definitely want my country’s Secretary of Health to be a doctor who understands public health

If by “doctor” you mean, as people usually do in general conversation, an MD (or DO), why? Public health is an entirely different discipline from medicine, with its own series of professional degrees. As is public administration. As is public policy. Why would a top-level public administrator and public policy professional in the field of public health need to have a professional degree in medicine more than one in public health, public administration, or public policy?

OTOH, your Surgeon-General or equivalent should definitely be a medical doctor.
