I don't think this is whataboutism, really. Part of it is frustration, but more it's an attempt to get them to recalibrate their idea of "carcinogen". Carcinogens are not some list of ultra dangers to strictly avoid. We're too good at detecting them.
Why would having separate accounts eliminate the need to communicate for larger purchases for couples in the latter situation. Sounds like that would lead to even bigger issues.
That's how I've always imagined it. The top of the FedEx truck is a mini-helipad, and there are two people on the truck. As the truck makes its normal route stopping to deliver heavy packages on foot, there are two drones darting back and forth delivering light ones, with someone constantly feeding them packages and batteries.

Somewhere years ago I have a chat log where I describe the whole thing as imagined, including the phrase "print out helipad_qr.pdf and tape it to your driveway" as part of the process. ;)
Good. Without their careful and considered work, the US skies would experience it's own tragedy of the commons. There's a reason air travel is so damn safe, and it's not because private companies were left to their own devices.
>The thing that really hurt the Eurozone was the 2011 - 2013 recession that the US did not experience.

This is true, but understated in a crucial manner. By global standards, the greatest enduring strength of the US economy has been its ability to recover from downturns. More than anything else, that has pulled it ahead of competitors time and time again. When the early '80s financial crisis hit Japan with a lost decade, Volcker (PBUH) pulled the US out of the doldrums and back into a growth phase within three years. When the Asian financial crisis hit at the same time as the dotcom bust, the US recovered more efficiently than the erstwhile "Asian tigers". When the 2007 financial crisis went worldwide, aggressive measures by the Fed and a willingness to risk inflation restored growth faster than in Europe. When COVID hit, economies around the world dived, but even with political divisions running at their highest since 1876, the US again restored growth more quickly than almost anywhere else — now growing at competitive rates with China.

There are a variety of theories about this, but one iniquitous postulate I've heard is that the US makes it a lot easier for companies to do layoffs — not a happy proposition for those directly affected, but what could be worse for an economy than having thousands of people working on something that just isn't working? Many worker protections — for health, safety and family — have become more popular with economists recently, but when the subject of being able to fire people comes up, there is still a sort of grim understanding transmitted in whispers: paying someone who isn't making progress makes us all worse off in the long run.

Of course we can also trace the roots of some profound social malaise — including the collapse of whole cities — to the cutthroat nature of employment in America; there is no free lunch.
Perhaps. Older ThinkPads also used to have very tiny TrackPads, so the TrackPoint was likely preferred by most users, at least in part, due to this.
Maybe by AI they mean it uses big data as well like historical traffic to more accurately set the weights of the vertices.
People are saying don't read this translation or read that one or whatever. My opinion here is, there isn't really a "good" translation of the Odyssey, but there also isn't any bad ones either. It's a cool story, the themes and characterization is maintained in basically any translation you would read. The beauty of the meter, the style, the subtleties, is lost, and can't be recovered. It's just the same way that it is lost in any translation of Kalidasa, or any great classical author: its the same reason Shakespeare is great, because of those small details (speaking of Shakespeare, he parallels, or even eclipses any of the classical authors, but Sophocles and Homer are still great in their own way.)
Is San Antonio really a city? That just sounds like an endless suburb to me
Yes, you can almost say that St. Augustine and Luther and others were having some sort of quarter/mid-life crises.
GDP PPP in the US is identical to the nominal GDP in the US since the purchasing currency in the US is the US dollar.

> What I meant to write is: if the PPP GDP increases in the EU faster than in the US, with all else being equal (eg. stable population) it would imply the standard of living is increasing faster in the EU than in the US.

No it doesn’t mean anything of the sort in fact high nominal GDP to GDP PPP ratio usually indicates a low standard of living and a developing economy the Eurozone is an anomaly in this regard mainly due to its developed infrastructure and social institutions.

And don’t forget that your GDP PPP can be twice that another county whilst your median income is can be 10 times lower.

Median income per capita adjusted for PPP would be a better albeit an imperfect measurement of it since the standard of living is dependent on so many other things.

In which case there are only 4 countries which have higher median income PPP than the US, UAE, Luxembourg, Switzerland and Norway.

AIC/household final consumption expenditure is another good indicator for standard of living and wealth in which case the US is #1.
Monochloramine, on the other hand, is barely perceptible at a couple ppm.

(It also produces less in the way of disinfection byproducts, which is good if the water contains anything that might react nastily with chlorine. And it’s much more persistent, which is good or bad depending on your perspective. You need to take special measures to remove it if you want to water a fish and potentially if you want to brew beer. As far as I can tell, it has no meaningful effect on an established sourdough starter. I assume that the large population of microbes in established starter is able to neutralize the small amounts of chloramine in tap water.)
Right? This seems like close to Light Treason territory to me.
I don’t think there’s any further down to go, but there’s probably room to go up to distributed computing. IIRC, some early versions of Go when it was in alpha had channels work across machines.
> Interestingly enough, your reasoning is why we share accounts. I'm the sole income earner, so it would seem controlling to me if my wife had an "allowance".

I’m also the sole bread winner and my wife does have an “allowance”. It gets deposited into her account. I also have an “allowance” that’s slightly less than hers - what’s left over after all of the bills are paid and savings.

> I'd presumably still feel that way if she worked outside the home but we had an income (or spending) disparity; it's all our money and we can both use our judgement on whether to buy something. We both have access to everything because we trust each other to be financially responsible.

My wife and I also have access to everything.

> It does help that she hates clutter and I think everything is a ripoff so neither of us does much frivolous spending

Well, we don’t have to worry about buying stuff at all or creating clutter. Everything we own has to fit in four suitcases. :)

Our lives are really about experiences.
I had a class at Georgia Tech in the early '80s that used these. I even found my Compucolor formatted 5.25" floppy drive that had my project on it, a graphics library written in basic. I'd love to get the files off of that floppy, either with one of the machines or a Kyroflux.
Out of curiosity – what was the use case for that? It seems terribly confusing!

The article claims that since security fixes land in latest releases first but must be individually backported to older releases, therefore staying on an older release is less secure.

However I think this is in itself a false premise. The obvious counterargument is that it is newer releases in which new security vulnerabilities are introduced, so after a while, an older release with backported security fixes is more secure.

Which argument is true depends on the relative rates of fixes vs. vulnerability introductions. This will differ per project, and therefore the balance may tip both ways too, depending.

But the article fails to make any assessment of this at all.
lol i’m not quite following how manually injecting envoy, “configuring envoy yourself/by hand” in a pod and “copying istio code for iptables re-direction” and then trying to maintain this yourself is easier than just using istio?

install istio, turn off mtls if you dont want that (https://istio.io/latest/docs/reference/config/security/peer_...) and you have what you’re looking for. doesn’t get simpler than that.

A bit of a tangent, but from the perspective of Malaysia, Germany is a major entrepreneurial power. A lot of it is backed by Rocket Internet. Many Rocket people come here, fail, and then start their own startups and raise money easily because they have experience. Inversely, several SE Asians end up moving to Germany after being promoted.

It feels a little like how the Portuguese/Dutch were a major colonial power but held little land of their own.

I'm also thinking there could be a selection bias in that the entrepreneurial Germans are all in foreign countries.

Estonia also seems to have a reputation for being entrepreneurial. I think there's not much natural resources there and the government have been very supportive of startups.
That's only hard because "wet" has a bunch of meanings.

I don't think this actually opts you out of key escrow these days. It only replaces SMS-OTP with the recovery key, as far as I understand.

It's impossible to tell, though – Apple's platform security guide has been last updated in April 2022, which predates Advanced Data Protection. (Weirdly they do mention it in the document [1], though, so the date might also be incorrect and they might have added that information since I last looked a year ago.)

At least according to [2], it seems possible to gain access to the encrypted data using the iCloud account password and the passcode/login password of one other device on the iCloud account in any case.

What kind of social circles are you talking about?
"I think the crux of the midlife crisis is coming to terms with tradeoffs. Everyone has spent potential to get where they are, and there aren't do-overs." << This. It is at the same time crisis-inducing and very motivating, depending on your situation and personality. You look down the pike and think "If I have an average lifespan, I can kick this shit into gear and have the whole timespan I've already lived to get some stuff done" or you think "I only have (x) years left, it's too late already." But either way, the crux of the matter is that you have a limited set of choices left. You had a limited set of choices before, too, but young people don't realize that. They don't quite feel the chapters being ripped out of the book of life yet, they don't see the just-pruned branches falling from the tree of life... Every affirmative choice you make is also a choice that kills something else. And this is not bad, necessarily -- a well-pruned fruit tree yields more fruit, without breaking. But it's not how we've been raised. We've been raised with limitlessness. We have not been raised with the interior disciplines of pruning and weeding and culling.
Yes, the first generation Intel Macs had a 32bit CPU.

I bought the original Intel MacBook in 2006, and the last OS update was in 2011 so that wasn't bad. By that time it was already pretty slow due to the limited CPU and memory. That was much longer than you'd expect the Windows equivalent laptop from 2006 to last.

The Core 2 architecture with 64bit support was released in late 2006, and the MacBook updated the same year - less than 6 months after release of the first, so two architectural changes in one year! It's strange Apple didn't just hold off from the initial release for a while.

The statement "radio can possibly cause cancer" is irrelevant if it takes a signal so powerful no human would ever encounter it, let alone produce it. The question is whether radio signals used in telecommunications can cause cancer, especially compared to the waves already present in nature.
I agree with the "ideas have people" framing.

If you are choosing a set of ideas to "he had by" - ones that let you navigate life (eg bypassing the midlife crisis) sound good.

I mean, maybe. AI on the "good side" will also improve. It should be possible to check a sentence against its reference with LLMs. And anything not sourced is suspect, just as it is now.

I also don't like the attitude of Wikipedia being "them", as in "their editorial population". It's our public good, like our air, and everyone should care to ensure its high quality. If you see a problem in the world, you have to try to fix it, instead of sitting on the sidelines, looking from the outside in.
That doesn't sound like a person with actual religion.
> I'd planned professionally at about 30 and then realized it wasn't what I wanted and had no idea what to do next.

Oddly enough, I think this is what keeps me from being ambitious in a professional sense. I just feel like, based on everything I read, hear, and see, that we are all just donkeys chasing the metaphorical carrot tied to a stick. I swear, it's like the hedonistic treadmill is turned up a few notches too high.

There is just so much social pressure to jump into the rat race. I mean, part of me wants to be more ambitious -- to really see how far my abilities and efforts can take me.

However, if I have learned one thing in life it is that everything has a cost. So, what if I do accomplish whatever career goals I set out to achieve? I think a lot of the ambition that comes and goes in my head originates not out of a desire to fulfill my own wants but to kind of self-medicate some deep rooted self-esteem issues/feelings of inadequacy.

What do you all think?
From November 2018 to November 2021, I worked at, then subsequently left, Fisher Investments, Kroger, and Publix. Three jobs in three years. I didn’t want to job hop. I didn’t do it to increase my comp. I evaluated each opportunity thoroughly before accepting the offer. So what happened?

no, I didn't. it was approved by both FDA and EU regulatory agencies, and, assuming similar carcinogenicity, would be a much better option considering it's 50x as potent as a sweetener. in other words, less cancer per unit sweet.

and there's no reason to believe this potency as a sweetener (how strong it binds to and activates very specific gpcrs on tongue) correlates to carcinogenicity
Since this is an Arduino product it would presumably be compatible with existing Arduino code and would be easier to get started with than the cheaper ones since it would have built in support within the Arduino IDE. If you’re teaching an Arduino class or have a setup that already uses an Arduino this could be easier to teach people to use than the regular ESP32, in addition to expecting higher quality QC processes and support from both the general Arduino community and the manufacturer. Obviously if you know what you are doing and have appropriate expectations for a $5 ESP32 board that would work well for your use case and can set it up easily without special instructions or a user guide you may want to use those for most of your use cases, but there is a reason people buy the more premium brand name options, especially businesses.

Same deal as the raspberry pi- the Pi isn’t as powerful as a lot of other boards and is more expensive than other boards in its class, but people use it because of the support.
What a load of crap. Many of us haven’t been to church in decades yet still are in loving marriages with kids, not frowning and “all alone.” If there’s resentment it’s in part an effect of this stupid insistence that only religious “solutions” can lead to happiness.
I doubt the cost for the drone is 0% of the cost of having a guy operate a truck.
I wouldn’t confuse HN with “the Go community”. The head of the Go team wrote this post. Will the coro package proposed in the post be added exactly as written? Maybe, but probably not exactly as written. Will something like it be added? I would be willing to bet money on it, yes. How long will it take? I’d say at least a year (release in Go 1.23 in August of 2024), maybe a little longer. I don’t think it could be much shorter though.
Maybe, their ambitions are definitely that they stand toe to toe with the US.

However, the fact they are just now starting to issue body armor to their soldiers and have not had any real combat experience in the modern age might be difficult challenges to overcome.

It's a lot different to push around your effectively unarmed neighbors than the US, who has been in large scale military conflicts since the 40's. To put it in perspective, the US spends over 800 billion dollars per year on the military. It's more than the next 10 countries, combined.

Tokyo may be big but everything feels painfully mediocre.

It might be fun if one is happy to mostly ignore the reality of the locals and treat it as a silly island resort like the stereotype of Thailand (including exiting the local labor force ASAP). If you want intellectual conversations or stimulating work alongside others don't bother.
This is unintuivite at first, but makes sense. As we approach last mile, economies of scale begin to not only diminish, but invert.

Let me put it another way... it's very inefficient to move cargo by a fleet of cars vs a fleet of trucks, and it's even more efficient to move cargo by train.

But it would be terribly inefficient to move that train to your home. A UPS truck is more efficient than a train, and a guy on a bike might be more efficient than a UPS truck, other than labor.

But if we can get an autonomous vehicle, then the labor goes away, and if the delivery drone is electric, then it can largely be very efficient- going point to point in a straight line.

I hadn't thought about it before, but it makes so much sense.

I've actually had the opposite. I have lost my sense of taste for a couple weeks with previous illnesses. With what I'm pretty sure was Covid I had a killer headache on day one and a cough that lasted weeks, but never lost smell or taste.

I say I'm pretty sure it was Covid because the timing, exposure, and symptoms all lines up but I never actually got a positive test result from at home tests.

I lost 50% of my smell from covid. Not that I could smell things at half strength, no. I got out all my spices and smelled each one. Lemon pepper, yes, Cumin, no, oregano yes, cloves no, and so on. I could smell half the spices just fine and the other half not at all. I've never experienced anything like it in my life.
> > I could rent this truck every weekend for 30 years for the same price as a giant truck.

> No, not really as exchange rate fluctuations are avoided using constant international dollar benchmarks.

There are ways for GDP to increase while economy contracts. As the simplest example, an informal sector may become formalized and be partially reduced in the process due to new bureaucratic obstacles.

> This been explained multiple times in this thread already including a link to the OECD FAQ on GDP PPP.

I don't see OECD FAQ claiming anything close to what you imply. It actually claims that "The major use of *PPPs is as a first step in making inter-country comparisons* in real terms of gross domestic product (GDP) and its component expenditures."

> Nominal GDP isn’t a measure of individual wealth either, it is however a very good indicator of national economic growth.

A nitpick: if we talk about growth, we should talk about the change in GDP. Anyway, how is the change in nominal GDP any better than the change in GDP PPP?

> GDP PPP doesn’t include housing costs, at least not directly it includes a component which is called imbued rent which tends to grossly underestimate the actual cost of housing in a given country.

The rent is included directly. Imputed rent is fictitious income that exists to account for housing services homeowners provide to themselves to make comparisons easier between situations where the rate of homeownership is different. If it grossly underestimates the actual cost of housing, it simply means it is calculated incorrectly. As a sidenote, for lots of other services such adjustments are not made (eg eating out vs cooking at home, paying a housekeeper vs cleaning yourself).

> Housing in the EU is generally more expensive than in the US both to rent and to buy nearly every country has a massive housing shortage and inflated prices.

I don't think any EU city can compare to the US juggernauts such as NY and SF in terms of housing shortage and inflated prices.
