Being survived by my spouse is one of my greatest fears. I have an "in case of death" file and my spouse knows where to get it. I don't find your list helpful in my case though. Mine is a lot simpler:

1. A list of all our financial accounts (checking, savings, retirement, etc) and bills. My spouse already has access to all these, but I handle all the day-to-day finances so it would be easy to forget a particular account or bill exists.

2. Phone numbers, URLs, and policy numbers for my life insurance policies.

3. Information about our internet and our off-site backups. Along with complicated networking equipment, I am self-hosting some software like DNS that could cause the home wifi to stop working if it's not maintained properly. I have instructions on how to unplug it all and set up an off-the-shelf router.

4. Instructions on how to get "In Case of Emergency" access to my password manager. I don't think this is necessary but might make a few things easier.

5. Personal advice on getting help and not withdrawing from family during the grieving process

Outside of this, I also have Google Inactivity Manager set up to automatically notify close friends if both me and my spouse pass away. While I'm guessing the police would notify our family somehow, my parents don't have contact information on my closest friends.
The title poorly conveys the tweet. "And people ask me why we didn't sell GitHub to Google. Seriously?" would be a little better.
No, they are not. We have not approached any other sites. Because we have zero commissions they would likely turn us away. Good question. I also believe we will do ok without them. Thanks for your question.
I think a rational argument for it is that stereo panning of drumkit elements are not something you can hear from the audience, and maybe even from the stage. Can anybody even remember having the "audience" stereo experience in real life? You'd have to be standing right in front of the drumkit.

Whereas drummers actually experience this panning configuration in real life, and when you're placing the mics in the mix, that's the set of ears you're trying to mimic, really because there isn't any _other_ set of ears to opine. And it's an important one because it provides the lion's share of the stereo image.
Your example isn't so great as it is. Getting closer would be saying a grocery store has fruit and vegies, but one prominent supplier known for prepackaged bite sized stuff the masses are used to consuming, has serious supply issues, however the store still has fruit and vegies, and in amongst what they have to offer, is some quality products - actually some are that much better, it's just people have either not noticed or shunned those products for not looking right.

However even that modified example, still doesn't really reflect on the problem the average user will insist what a great trick it was to use reddit to try and focus results. The average user unknowingly ignore a lot of other areas on the web that they could be using to focus what they're looking for. I guess that's one of the things A.I. will be able to do, something similar to what the old google search algorithm used to work where it seemed like google could work out of the number of search terms which word was a focus word (often a broad term to cover the field the rest might be common in.)

Like I stated in the last reply, a site going dark, it's not a google problem. Google's search has sucked for a few years ... and I know for all the hard to find or failed things I couldn't find since whenever, including reddit would have had zero effect.
Some people here are paid a lot. But some are not.

It's working perfectly afaict. "What is a woman?" for example was streamed a gajillion times just fine. The 700k stream of DeSantis or whatever took twitter down though, I doubt it will next time..
To each one it's own I guess. I have been crazy passionate about computers for 30 years. Learnt on a Commodore with logo for kids My first computer had GWBASIC and I spent years and years of my life doing so many exciting thing with computers (i even got PHD!!)

But at 41 years old, my priorities have changed. I still get super excited by tech, that's why I advise startups in exchange of equity (so basically for free) and my day job is pretty neat as well (I play with ML, NLP, GPT and other AI technologies) .

But long gone are my days of working 10+ day hours. I sincerely prefer other way less technical stuff in life. I'm visiting my parents quite often, and enjoy spending a lot of time with my wife and kids.

Maybe my previous comment sounded very authoritative, but I just meant to convey my point of view. I have friends who have been working on their startups (as CEOs) like crazy for more than a decade, and they seem to like it.

Personally I just cant see myself wishing I had worked more in my deathbed. Specially for other people LOL. Naaah ,as I've grown older, I've learned to appreciate more the "earthly" things in my life.
David Hume's Enquiry posits that our experience (and behavior) is heavily determined by networks of perceptrons, but he's never going to get credit for that.

I should clarify, I'm speaking from experience, having built a 9900K system on top of an ASRock mATX board. The water cooling barely fit, and it pumps out heat like no tomorrow. Still, it's undeniably tiny and I irrationally love that build, which I can't say about my previous PC towers. So I'm probably the target market for this...

> If you're banned from a popular instance you're not banned from the platform as a whole.

The most popular instances are the platform. Yes, you can run your own instance, with only yourself as a user. Unless others choose to federate with you, that's the equivalent of calling your blog a social network. And if the biggest instances impose their own rules on others under threat of severing federation, the freedom to run your instance as you wish exists only in theory.
Your .env file should never be seen by github. You should add your .env file to .gitignore

The easiest (but maybe not the best) way is make your entire site adopt a CSS-only framework like Bulma: https://bulma.io/documentation/form/textarea/. Or you can use TailwindCSS or Uniform CSS and look for examples as a guide: https://tailwind-elements.com/docs/standard/forms/textarea/, https://tailwindcomponents.com/component/textarea, https://www.material-tailwind.com/docs/html/textarea, https://www.creative-tim.com/learning-lab/tailwind/html/text..., https://daisyui.com/components/textarea/

It's bit harder to do correctly manually just because of cross-platform browser quirks, you'll probably at least want normalize.css or CSS Reset. Even MDN docs has a half-decent textarea in 20 lines of CSS: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/te... (it looks ugly with monospace but change the font and I think it looks great)
All of those didn't matter for the million dead Iraqis. They only matter for Americans themselves, not for the victims of America
The hard part of this isn't that we don't know how to do it, it's that people don't like the consequences of it.

Your bank can give you a bank card with cryptographic keys in it and then you need the card to make a transaction. But then if you lose the card...

At which point we fall back to birth certificates and things because there's nothing else available. The alternative would be that if you lose your bank card, you lose your money. Which could be mitigated by e.g. having backup cards that you keep at home in a safe, but some people would lose those too, and what then?
Easier said than done, unfortunately. I understand the sentiment, though; I have no children of my own, but it pains me to watch my nieces and nephews be brought up in a country that treats mass school shootings the same as fires or unpredictable natural disasters.

Isn't this the definition of regulatory capture? Which usually comes first, the large companies or the regulations that only large companies could keep up with?

The idea of the feds choosing poorly, or being corrupted, and deciding on one set of regulations for everyone scares me sometimes. Health care didn't turn out so great, the ACA put a stop to several states that had interesting plans and implementations of their own, and is basically a subsidy for the health care industry as it currently exists, whose lobbyists apparently crafted the text of that bill. Another example is privacy rights - the feds aren't doing much, and I'm glad that some states are.

Why should I care that companies get uniform laws more than I care about these issues that matter to me?

I'm not saying that we can't have federal regulations, but I don't think there's anything wrong with having local regulations even if companies are inconvenienced, especially for evolving industries.

Pretty much all voters work for companies or buy from companies and are impacted by the costs which are passed on to them.
But where is that 1000/mi^2 measured? Because I went to plenty of places in India where I saw no one or very few people for a long time driving or hiking. It sounds, like always, this is looking at cities and around cities. Most countries are pretty empty if you don’t want to live in a city (and fortunately, I don’t).
>They don't say their result isn't erroneous. They say there is statistically only a very tiny chance that the correlation is due to chance.

Again, a p-value is not the chance that a result is erroneous - the statement you made is 100% mathematically incorrect. That was a major point of my previous post that you missed. It's a common misconception that the authors of this work are victims of. The linked PDF from the American Statistical Society explains things in more detail.
> How does this work when ... there is no sticky sessions in place (because hot spots on certain upstreams kinda defeats the purpose of a load balancer), and the user that kicked off that async pdf job on PID 1, inside container 1, refreshes their browser and is now connecting to container 2, which is running a different Linux process than where the pdf task is running in a thread?

The user destroys their first liveview instance and gets a new liveview instance. You may not have properly set up bidirectional links so the destruction of this first liveview kills the first background job, or it may run to completion and be discarded. This might be exactly the semantics the user wants. If the user expects state to stick around that would need to be implemented separately.

> If you have to background the pdf generation, it’s slow. If it’s slow to generate a document, it’s large.

I'm not sure it's quite that slow. It's too slow to freeze the entire UI while it generates. But it's fast enough blocking a http response until it finishes often works. A simple system for transient background processing like Task.async might be appropriate.

> Disks and file systems are for passing very large messages on a system

We don't know what the type of the response message is. It could well be a filename in a temporary dirextory. That would be the simplest way to implement a background task that shells out.

In addition, an often overlooked aspect of watching sports is the emasculation of men and the channeling of their physical energy into something pointless and profitable, rather than towards social unrest or displeasure with the ruling class.

It also provides an artificial sense of community where people celebrate the success of something in which they have no part. It's a vicarious form of community achievement which takes effort and money from real communities, like your neighbors and the city around you.
Spotify - in my youth, I was constantly infecting my computers with viruses from downloading pirated music, when iTunes came along, paying for an individual song sucked because I tend to get sick of them - so when Spotify came along, it was actual happiness. Value for money for sure.
The average is still 100k. Acting like all engineers are somehow the rare FAANG hires who are making 250k+ is absurd. Further, you ignore the context in which "the wealthy" is used, which is describing those who profit directly from extracting value from labor of those who work beneath them. You know, the people who can offer someone 100k in salary because they know they'll make tenfold in profit back anyways.
When people ask about whether the Jones' have children, they do not (most of the time) have an accurate conditional probability of dog ownership given a certain number of children. They are trying to construct a story that seems plausible.

The difference between Bayesian reasoning and narrative fallacy is a coherent evaluation of joint probabilities -- the bit most people skip over.

Interesting comment. PropBox is a SaaS product and we expect the tech savvy folks will navigate it without ever speaking with us. But we are also committed to excellence with customer service, especially being brand new with a new experience. I'll will take your comment under advisement. Thank you sharing it.
It's likely more than 100% because they waste external people's time as well, such as ours right now.
Options:

1. So you start digging and find huge concrete cylinders with clearly marked "radioactive" warning signs. Hilarity ensues, people sue each other, and cylinders get moved somewhere else.

2. You just build a house on the ground (without digging). Nothing bad happens.

3. Civilization collapses, nobody cares about the abandoned casks.
And now you are proving my original argument. If society collapses to a point where engineers can't handle some well contained radioactive waste then you have far bigger problems then nuclear waste.

The idea that our primary worry should be that maybe in 300 years countries will be unable to handle this simple technical task that the US figured out in 1960s is bananas.

We are not talking about active nuclear weapons that detonate if you touch them wrong. We are talking about dry casks that might maybe start to leak a little in a few 100 years.

Even in the worst of bad cases you have to come up with quite a story to figure out how anybody actually dies from this, let alone many people.

Spending billions of $ now so in 300 years maybe somebody might be saved is laughable when we know that we can save people by putting up 100$ concrete railing for bike lanes right now. Let alone the 100s of other things that could be done with billions.

In Europe, Switzerland seemingly has low murder rate and relatively high gun ownership rate, 27.6 guns per 100 residents [1]. I am curious as to why the difference.

I think GP already addressed that point. If you perform, you help keep the company in business. If you don't, you increase the chances that the company will fail.

Aside from the relatively recent innovations of stock options and their descendants, employee outcomes are binary: salary or terminated. That's the bargain employees make as employees rather than equity holders. Compensation still follows your performance*, even if your sampling function's bit depth is one.

*On average.
Anecdotally, it seems like most of my acquaintances have stopped using Twitter as a social network. Not out of principle, but because their feeds just stopped having interesting conversations and the bad parts got worse. They still follow creators and news feeds, but their use seems passive and read-only.

I was never the biggest Twitter user, but I wouldn't be surprised at a similar kind of outcome for Reddit. I've already noticed a nose-dive in the quality of my feed - it's mostly dominated by the smaller subreddits that didn't join the blackout, overall activity seems to have dropped off in an absolute sense, and when a larger subreddit makes it in my feed the conversation is just...nastier than it was a few days ago. I had to come out of HN-retirement to find a decent conversation about tech.
Which plans? There weren't any, just rough sketches, plus the requirements were constantly changing. They also started construction before the planning was finished.

"Wyre had been a partner of Binance US, through which Binance was able to accept USD deposits. However, Binance US is now the target of SEC regulatory action, and has suspended US dollar deposits. Wyre wrote in their announcement that the closure "is not due to any regulatory agency direction". Sure thing."

Binance, already in trouble with the US SEC, is ceasing operations in Holland and Cyprus, to "focus on our efforts on fewer regulated entities in the EU". Right.

What are the long term good things social media brought that we did not have before and would not have without it? Let’s say a world where internet had exploded as it did but instead with many, not connected, forums, newsgroups and irc servers. Would we not have the same benefits without the crap part? What good part did social media do here?
THIS is the way at least people in the EU and California could bring the asshole reddit management to its knees.

Just ab avalanche of private account data deletion under CCPA or GDPR (or ARCO in Mexico yay!) Would make break reddit where it hurts. Most companies are not prepared to automate that.

That would be impactful.
Fusion reactors will produce enough fast neutrons to transmute the waste into something less long-lived.

This can be done with fast neutron fission reactors, albeit it's going to take a lot of time.

Meanwhile, just keeping it in dry casks aboveground is perfectly fine.

Good example of a two-sided market, which are quite tricky but there’s a lot of material out there on strategies and techniques. I’d recommend focusing on one area/city at a time to get enough buyers and sellers.

Nice work, very inspiring. I’m 50 and looking to start something again.
That's total bullshit. A fuel cell is very simple. A FCEV will be significantly cheaper than comparable BEVs. They will cost no more than conventional hybrid cars to build.

BEV advocates are suffering from their own sunk cost fallacy. When BEVs die as a technology, it will be BEV companies that will reveal themselves to holding onto outdated ideas.

In fact it is already happening. The fact that BEV fans can't even acknowledge that FCEVs are also EVs is proof of this.
I haven't heard back on my data request but I expect they are dealing with a higher than usual volume. I got an export when I mass deleted my comment history so I am not too concerned. My main interest in the data request now is as confirmation that my content has been deleted.
Probably one of the most damaging ideas I ever bought into (some time in my late teens) was the idea that people are not generally capable of being productive for more than 35 hours per week, and sustaining it. It seemed true, because I always had trouble working a full work week, even on projects I cared about.

At the tail end of my 20s, I started to realize that this isn't the case, at least for me. I've always found it hard to get work done because I'm low in industriousness, but that can be overcome with routine, minimizing distractions, and knowing when to switch to easier tasks. I don't really know what my limit is, but it's well over 40 hours.

I wish I had listened to more people like John Carmack when I was younger, because maybe I wouldn't have wasted so much of my time over the past decade.
The artificially low interest rates and low inventory created high prices in many parts of the country, and they seem to be holding in some areas. Times have changed. Thanks for commenting.
There's no need to compensate them when there's plenty of volunteers willing to do the work for free.

Also Reddit itself has a built in moderating system with the upvote/downvote system and the "new" section.

Mods highly overrate their contribution to reddit. The truth is the site will run fine whether they stay or get replaced and the mods know this.
I was looking for this. I find it deeply disturbing that Canadians don’t really care about this.

I knew both of these people in my late teens and it couldn’t have been clearer that they were mentally unstable. They couldn’t conspire to do much at all, let alone the sophisticated things they were accused of.

The work that would have gone into framing them is so difficult to overstate. They would have undermined the RCMP at every turn, either through incompetence or lack of interest in the big plan.

Not through any fault of their own. Korody was nicknamed “potato” as a teen because she was about as intelligent as one. Which is awful, don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of sympathy for these two.

This case made me extremely apprehensive about the RCMP, in any case. The recent Fairy Creek debacle on Vancouver Island wasn’t as bad, but clearly exposed the rotten underbelly of the organization once again.

It’s rough because most Canadians will assume you’re some kind of conspiracy theorist or shit disturber if you hold these opinions. Our police and military possess a strange kind of innocence in our national narrative that the US counterparts don’t appear to have.
If I get paid for working more than 8 hours, I would do it. If working for longer than 8 hours needs to be done, then change the contract, increase the pay.

If I own a company, I would work for as long as it is needed.

Else, it is just a contract. A company thinks you are replaceable anyway. Do not get fooled. They will replace you within 3-4 weeks.

And you do not own anything of the extra work you are doing, it is the company that will take the credits and the profit.
At the top of the second page of that pdf:

>P-values do not measure the probability that the studied hypothesis is true, or the probability that the data were produced by random chance alone.

It was very informative for me. Worth reading.
The Guardian reported in 2016 that the options are said to include: "Put yourself under the command of the United States, if it is still there", "Go to Australia", "Retaliate", or "Use your own judgement". The actual option chosen remains known only to the writer of the letter.

Well.. if there's any truth to that reporting whatsoever.. blimey....
The link has pretty convincing evidence of astroturfing.

What I don't understand is why take the sub private instead of deleting the post? That's crazy. Were they concerned deleting a post would create more backlash than taking the sub private? Basically the same calculus as a tyrant declaring martial law and expecting the backlash from that to be less than from allowing protests?
