I think the author would agree with you based on their conclusion:

>... we can imagine that our crookedness likewise reflects our history: the communities we’ve belonged to, the friends we’ve made and lost, the chance happenings, heartbreaks, losses, and triumphs, the stories we’ve internalized about the world and about ourselves. All that has pulled and tugged on us, worn us down, nurtured us, broken us, and lifted us up. That is our crookedness. The crookedness we must learn to love within ourselves and in one another.
I think it's a mix of groupthink and "someone else's problem". It's hard to break through an echo chamber and it's hard to accept something that inconveniences you. (I would assume the parts of the world where most of HN's audience resides are not going to be impacted by climate change as soon and as hard as many others.)

I do believe HN is full of intelligent and compassionate people. Perhaps it's compassion fatigue? (Too many horrible things happening, can I even make a difference through my individual actions?) Maybe we just needed you to make a good analogy, to illustrate the problem?
> Ask HN: How to start a startup that helps combat global warming?

If your goal is to combat global warming, focus on how to do that.

If your goal is to make a scalable business that returns money to investors, focus on a startup.

Unless you have a clear solution to global warming that seems like it would also support a scalable business without compromising its effectiveness, don't try to do both (and if you do have that, incorporate the solution into your question.)
Some years ago, I had a miserable couple of days when an internal DNS server quit working. Eventually I traced it to a corrupted cache file. Once that was deleted, life returned to normal.

Though unpleasant, it was an enlightening experience. I had never imagined how much of the internet ran on Amazon by then (2010?).
I'm curious how many companies will just block the UK rather than comply. It's definitely not going to be zero.

> No mate, people value themselves and get the best thing they can have.

Not everyone is this embedded in consumerism. Most of us have our proclivities & things we are biased towards (clothing, cars, travel, house, hobbies), but most people don't splurge on everything.
Not a lawyer. General advice assuming you are from India/China.

First, don't procrastinate. There is a non linear relationship between real time and USCIS time. It's something like 1:5 or more. So 1 month of procrastination is delaying your green card by 5 months. If you don't think you can do an EB1 right away, do an EB2-NIW to lock the priority date, assuming you don't have a priority date already.

1. The bar is sustained international acclaim and being at the top of the field. If you fit the standard researcher profile, papers, awards, citations, patents, salary and other quantifiable metrics would be a good place to anchor your application.

2. Supplement it with reference letters and show impact in other ways. It's all subjective. Look at other templates or get a lawyer.

3. There shouldn't be any interaction between the two, but not a lawyer. Check with one, especially if you plan to travel.

Look at AAO decisions to get a sense of what gets rejected.
I don’t think so. OP was saying the data should be released. CA is saying it can’t at all for privacy reasons.

I’m saying that the data OP can be released with perturbations made to protect privacy and the data are still useful.

I don’t think anyone is calling for the raw data to be dumped. But for as much data as possible to be released.
>The "iPhones are expensive" propaganda is underinformed. Apple computers on the other hand are way more expensive than the equivalent hardware in the PC ecosystem, however they also hold their value quite well for resale whereas I've found it quite difficult to offload old gaming PCs in the past.

I think you're perceiving the same thing in both cases, but interpreting the data wrong re: PC hardware.

I just looked, the cheapest unlocked smart phone that Best Buy carries is $60. Yes, its pretty much garbage. But if you need to have a smart phone, and not much else, compare $60 to the cheapest iPhone ($430). So it goes with computers too. The floor on not Apple is quite a ways lower than the floor on Apple, even as the ceilings are pretty comparable. And what Apple is optimizing for is very different from what the average high-end PC manufacturer is optimizing for. When you do an oranges-to-oranges comparison of Macbooks and equivalent laptops, their prices end up pretty comparable.

Saying "iPhones are expensive" is very much akin to saying "the Mercedes G-Class is expensive". Its under-informed (as you say) only because a lot of people get iPhones (and Mercedes G-Classes) as status symbols, not for the innate capabilities.
Would this bill affect P2P apps? From the article:

> The Online Safety Bill, now at the final stage before passage in the House of Lords, gives the British government the ability to force backdoors into messaging services

So it seems like purely P2P communication could still be legally encrypted.

Plenty of good developer-focused content now, and they implemented a following-only feed. Worth having, for me so far.

So buy your PinePhone or whatever and let the vast majority of users have something that’s simple and reasonably standardized. I can certainly use a general purpose computer but I don’t want my phone to be complicated.
If some PM wants to add a debugger to C, do they write a language extension proposal or do they focus on putting their requirements in a separate tool?

This is roughly the same problem. The feature exists, but it's rare enough that the only people that need it are programmers/DBAs that need to deep-dive into a specific issue. Regular people/applications will never need this feature, so why should it be baked in the core language? The specialists already have specialist tooling, so it makes much more sense to implement this as a toolkit feature than a language feature.
It's also possible there will be no successor place.

That’s funny. I distinctly remember Pizza Hut as the cheap-ish place where waiters would inexplicably introduce themselves with their first name and make kind of a show out of serving fast food; as a child in Germany, where this isn’t at all customary, I was like; „what the hell? I just want to tell you my order and expect you to bring it to my table once ready, I didn’t ask for your life story!“. Hence, I didn’t like it and tried to steer clear if possible.

When combined with poor education systems, the outcome must be ignorance.

In the event of global catastrophe we won't even know what we need to learn.
what works is living by example. and letting the kids grow up in an environment where nobody does drugs. showing them the bad outcome that others suffering from addiction experience may also be instructive. but generally kids do as the parents do. if you have a good relationship with your kids so that they are not trying to take drugs out of protest, then they won't be tempted to try.

Thanks, that’s correct, however, it got rebranded as Freedom Act, which is still effective until the end of this year. Most likely to be renewed too or another rebranding Act will hit the shelves.
The state exists for the people. They serve me (and you).

Publicly traded corporations are very different.

My tax dollars pay for the government to operate and collect data. Not so much for publicly traded companies.

That being said, for publicly traded corporations there are regulations on what data they must release, but I think it’s mainly about financial performance.

So a private education system would not need to release anonymized data on its students. But a public education system has a legal duty.
> Capitalism is a system (much more than just an economic system) that allows for selection like this.

You just described capitalism as a kind of suicide pact.

I don't entirely disagree, but limit this critique to unrestricted capitalism. Unrestricted capitalism is a monster that would, if never restrained, basically destroy everything.

Oh come off it. Sex still sells. Sexualized ads are still around, and they're always controversial. They were controversial in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and they're controversial today. If there was one thing Tipper Gore and Laura Bush agreed on during the 1990s, it was that media was too sexual and violent.

I think one reason why Bayesian models have not taken off is that representing prediction uncertainty comes at the expense of accuracy, for a given model size. People prefer to devote model capacity to reducing the bias rather than modeling uncertainty.

Bayesian models make more sense in the small-data regime, where uncertainty looms large.
Extra scandalous too since stuff like load balancers will use a bunch of IPv4 addresses that they can now charge extra for, with no way to avoid the fees since you can't turn off IPv4.

The UK Government repeatedly fails to understand that there are no boarders on the internet, and it'd be impossible to impose any without the kind of extreme restrictions of a totalitarian regime.

Any measures without broad international cooperation will push vast number of people towards darker corners of the internet, which will not just end up completely undermining what they are trying to achieve, it will make the problems worse.

Meta alone have the power to make this law a miserable failure.
People will want to use WhatsApp, the government themselves use it extensively.
If meta refuses there is very little they can do. Facebook can continue to operate without a single person on the ground in UK. It might harm their business in some ways but it's definitely doable.
The government might be able to force/convince Apple and Google to take it out their app stores in the UK but such regional restrictions are easily bypassed and WhatsApp is popular enough to make people try it. So that would then normalise the practices such as side loading / jail breaking and avoiding regional restrictions. Cyber criminals would be rubbing their hands at the opportunities this creates and I am sure the peodos and terrorists this is meant to be stopping will jump at the chance to get in on the act.

This is basically correct, the factors that you focus on when throwing a knife are the same factors you take focus upon when throwing a human.

The visuals are the arms, but the core is the hips and their placement.

When you watch me in that all distance vid, you see that the real power comes from the hip rotation, but the precision comes from the upper shoulder displacement. Thus the training of the hips sans Uki.

Ive trained with every single person in these photos...

Recently my best friend and training partner got back from Israel where he was doing some akban training... https://www.youtube.com/@AkbanOrg/videos

We've been training with them since ~1989 - but these are the movement styles that map with arts, aside from pure bujinkan movements such like our Soke, Hatsumi - but there is a cadre of bad-ass ninjutsu folks in the US, no not richard whatevere...

but look up van donk, hatsumi, and others in akban, krav maga and bujinkan.

There are several throwing style - spin, no-spin, spike (which is the same as no spin) but here is an example of me in my garage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtCYnjeaog4

(Also this was handle thrown, which implies no-spin.... but honestly spin throw, blade held is my preference, this is why you see me wearing gloves in vids... Never throw a knife without PPE (gloves)

Trust me - being sliced by a knife leaving your grip at velocity is no fun.

EDIT: Oh Yeah - always grind down the edges of any knife you intent to throw.

The only thing that matters is the pointy part. And the mass of the knife and your skill. The cutting part does not matter.

Do you know why Katanas were curved, because they got more cutting edge ratio with a single pull/strike.

throwing is about puncture, hence stars and blah - and its a portion of why ninjatos were straight - because they were designed for piercing in small enclosures (hallways)

The movements are designed around the "small circle jujitsu" principles as booked by wally jay - not only was he a teacher of mine he was a neighbor and we lived 2 blocks from him in Alameda..

> It (mastodon) peaked in November. Musk's antics might prop it (Mastodon) up every once in a while but the long term trend doesn't look good.

At least that's what I think you mean. Lots of ambiguous "it" in the text above.

Not accurate according to https://mastodon.social/@mastodonusercount/ or my subjective experience. mastodon is fine. mastodon is growing. Mastodon is fundamentally not a business that needs to "get big fast or die trying" so that VCs can make their big ROI back. Slow, steady improvement is fine. Scalloped growth is not evidence of a platform in decline. (1)

I'd say - to write the above in a clearer way: "Twitter peaked in November 2022 and then went into decline. Musk's antics might prop twitter up every once in a while but the long term trend doesn't look good. My prediction is in a couple of years time, the only remaining users of twitter will be the most avid hardcore fans."

Hi

I am a ML researcher (with a couple papers) in Canada (intl student from India), in senior year of undergrad. What are my chances of O-1? It's supposed to be for extraordinary people which, by definition, can be a very high bar to clear.

Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

There’s still the option of appeal to the ECHR, but that’s more or less it - and there’s a quite strong push from the right to leave that as well.

This was absolutely an intended outcome for a lot of the figures responsible for the UK’s exit from the EU - European legislation/institutions were more or less the only real absolute check on the authoritarian tendencies of the British state, given the UK’s insane constitutional structures.
I am in a similar situation. Is there anything we can do if we havent heard back from them in more than 18 months?
My own extended family is literally a cult about this.

But, I’m back to iPhone because I actually need my phone portion to work. Went through 3 androids with constant call issues.

Who cares if there’s a cult. The products are objectively worse if you need to make important phone calls. Couldn’t care about anything else even a tenth as much.
Exercise apps seem equally weird to me.
> I’m not one to punch people in the face, but that’s grounds to be punched in the face in any bar.

This conversation is getting a little weird, but I feel like I should just kind of generally say, that would not be in any way an appropriate or reasonable reaction to being called self-centered. In general assault is not a reasonable reaction to insults period, but it's even less of a reasonable reaction to a passing insult that's as mild as "you only care about yourself."
That seems like a pretty minor issue to fix once you have virtual phones running.

I personally wouldn’t want this to be browser only. I would enjoy it being device bound with a key.

I know a couple of people who did that, but they switched from a $200 android to a ~$1000 iphone, and were amused at how much better it is. Users who had flaghship androids rarely switched, because their phones were good too.

>US servicemen put into Korean prisons

Out of curiosity, how many servicemen did the US allow to get into foreign prisons?

I know at least two highly mediatized cases of US servicemen committing murder in Europe[1][2] but were instantly airlifted to the US before they could be arrested by the local police, so they couldn't be trialed and jailed in the EU and instead got to walk free back home.

If the US stepped in for them in Europe, I doubt they won't do the same in Korea.

wrt making criminal penalties stronger, I wonder what effect an add-on charge (idk the technical term) for deliberately using encryption in the commission of a crime would add.

I.e. using encryption is never illegal, but if you commit a crime and directly employ encryption as a means to commit that crime, your sentence is doubled or whatever.

(inb4 pedantic "all internet services use encryption", which I don't think a court would buy if this is meant to be an add-on charge)
