I disagree. You're basically saying, "open source code isn't open-source". There's nothing incoherent about what they said.
There is no proof of earth of being the center but it was just a conjecture by the Greeks not unlike Darwin's Theory that human beings and apes have a common ancestor.

The Arabs and Muslim astronomers who's invented the modern telescopes for astronomy observations most probably have already proposed the original heliocentric model centuries before Copernicus [1],[2],[3]. The fact the largest astronomic institution the world have ever seen at the time, namely House of Wisdom in Baghdad and all the associated astronomy books were burnt down by the Mongols meaning that the later European scientists have to scrapped by whatever astronomy books that had survived or already brought over to Europe including Muslim Spain [3],[4].

When I was in primary school a local TV company film the series in my school. I remember watching it seeing the characters walk into one building and then walk out of a completely different building. This both amused and shocked me as a child. I suddenly realized that all the things I saw on TV were not necessarily as they seem.

He is right, that part of the exclusion zone is relatively harmless. Greenpeace has the coordinates in their report, if i am not too far off people still eat mushrooms from such conditions.

What's insecure about setuid if the setuid user isn't a privileged user? For example, a setuid-nobody program, shouldn't be any more insecure than a systemd service spawned as User=nobody, no?

(Also, implied is that any untrusted logic lives in the spawned program, while the "client" program is simple and auditable. As I said: like a database client vs a database server. Or how about: like a client that wants to print something, vs. a print server embedding untrusted printer drivers!)
Given that there are several brands of Mac mini server rack mount kits on the market, clearly there is a demand for Apple hardware in the server room. If nothing else they would be a nice alternative to rack mount Mac Pros for a build farm. I would think the performance per watt would be very competitive with other server vendors on the market as well.

Would be interesting how they differentiate between AI and algorithm. A human prompts for input and then algorithms provide an output. If I made something with a spirograph, as a simple example, would that qualify as a human creations or of the algorithm?

I was under the impression the bigger weight gains were not so much thanks to safety as they were due to amenities that have become essentials. Things like air conditioning, awd (if you consider it to not be strictly a safety feature), automatic transmissions, larger wheels (though many are now aluminum) and the tires for them, power steering, infotainment systems and their wiring harnesses, sun/moon roofs, bigger/more comfortable seats, etc. But emissions-related things also come to mind, such as catalytic converters, dpf/gpf, improved exhaust systems, longer exhaust piping and larger chambers, def, etc.

(I did note that cars are made of lighter materials, such as fiberglass, composites, and aluminum.)

Edit: I do think that while the range of vehicle sizes may not have changed too drastically, the probability distribution curve has. Station wagons were never “in” the way SUVs are, sedans are basically on their way out (though the newest “CUVs” are really just sedans with weird profiles and jacked high up), and pickups were not a suburban mainstay.

I’m confused by this comment - are you suggesting rent wouldn’t increase if there were fewer developer associated people around?
Ehh, that’s mostly a semantic argument.

People without acute radiation syndrome / radiation poisoning can still face significant long term health effects. So yea nobody’s hair was falling out, but they still had sufficient radiation exposure to have long term impacts.

However, these are also soldiers in a war. Their risks of being shot or bombed etc drastically outweigh the risks from radiation here.
> Not actually "playing" the game - like, that was something to do for fun, but so much of it was hanging out with people.

I think probably far too much about how social media (or, in a broader sense, the mass adoption of the internet) has affected online games like this, and I was really happy to see your point here since this is a thought I've had a lot, but few people seem to understand what I mean when I try to bring it up! I vividly remember a time where people used to just talk in online games a lot more, whereas now most online games feel sorta dead (if they even have a chat option) -- and I suspect that's due to the fact that people are either A) playing with people they already know from real life and don't see any reason to communicate with anyone else, or B) only communicating with the community on platforms like Reddit, in an asynchronous, "flex"-based way. Imo, that shift is the major reason online games have essentially died out except in the form of competitive multiplayer with ephemeral lobbies.

And I've noticed that when I try to explain how things were to people who weren't online before the shift happened, they can't even picture what it was like, or why it was fun. It's so odd to me that that entire way of interaction has just... disappeared.

Moreover, the people who will feel the effect of my spending/investment may be disjoint from the people who would feel the effect of me exerting political power via money.

Exactly. "Asking" is about communicating, and "Guessing" is about understanding.

Being aware of other people's needs matters. Expressing your own needs matters. Both are important skills, and if you completely refuse responsibility for one of them you're going to be in for a hard time.

If 6 months was the average limit, just set that as the term limit then. People might choose to go mad with power more quickly, but you could always depose them before that term limit was up.

> He must be completely convinced it will be seized

If you've listened to Buffett talk about investing, probably not. He got to be the world's greatest investor by understanding risk and probabilities very well. He doesn't need to be "completely convinced", just convinced that the expected value of his shares won't be positive. Suppose he thinks there is, say, 25% chance of a takeover (which is definitely scary but far from 100%) - in that case his shares go to 0. He could easily think that the potential upside just doesn't outweigh that significant chance of a total wipeout.

Uber is fantastic, much better than some street taxi you have to find and hail. AirBnB is the only way I can realistically find multi room houses to stay in on vacations, hotels don’t offer that and there aren’t resorts everywhere.

Yeah. We used to have complete control over our android devices and the apps that ran on them. This hardware attestation business is gonna destroy all that. Right now I can't even launch my bank's app if I have developer mode enabled. They say it's only gonna be for the apps that "really need it" but that's just Google boiling the frog slowly.

The argument you appear to being attempting to support is:

> Global inequality is actually decreasing (potentially at the expense of Americans).

The link you have [1] states that "While the steep rise of inequality in the United States is well-known, long-run data on the incomes of the richest shows countries have followed a variety of trajectories."

Also, "high and rising inequality is not an inevitability; it’s something that individual countries can influence".

This does not say anything about a global trend. This support nothing except that counties can influence inequality levels.

I'm not identifying as being from somewhere else. I'm explaining the broad origins of northern US and southern US culture.

When it comes to talking about US history, people are quick to denigrate the US and explain how young of a country it is. When it comes to talking about the evolution and origins of American culture, people are quick to denigrate the US and explain how far removed it is from its European origins.

How often do you learn new things later that, even as transmitted through untrustworthy media, allow for clear falsification of the former media presentation?

This isn't zero but it's not very common either. Usually, the domain in question is sufficiently subtle that you can't make a rigorous prediction from an untrustworthy media presentation at all; thus, the media accounts are effectively unfalsifiable (unless you go out and seek personal experience).

HN is a social community too. So are other online forums, discord chat groups, mailing lists, gaming communities, open source communities, etc. People are driven to social interaction, whether virtual or in-person. I don't know what is the big deal in acknowledging that.
That is such a great idea. Nice work! Spread the word!
Well, I wrote both the backend (PHP), and the frontend (Swift).

The backend is too complicated, because I originally wrote it as a general-purpose server, and it is now specific, but it works fine. No need to rewrite, although I’d love to.

The frontend had been “accreting” features, because it was really a high-quality prototype.

When we had nailed down the functionality, I knew this was a ball of mud that I didn’t want to maintain, so I factored the business logic into a standalone library, and most of the work has been on the “chrome” for the app. It’s not-simple, but much more straightforward than the previous version.

Also, this time, we brought in a professional designer, and have been applying style from the beginning.

Yep an esim is even more convenient.

Last time I travelled was pre-pandemic before esims were common place, so I just pre-ordered a SIM card online that I just needed to pick up from an airport booth after showing my passport.

Depending on the country and how rural you are travelling it can also be worth checking out the coverage and frequency band compatibility to ensure you get the best reception possible.
That's the part you don't want them to do though. Centralized PKI is bad for privacy and creates a single point of compromise. You don't want this, but for the whole population:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Personnel_Management...

What you want is some well-reviewed code that a bank or utility company can "apt install" onto their server and get secure decentralized web authentication working in five minutes instead of leaving them to create some custom in-house contraption designed by a rotating committee of middle managers.

And they should really endeavor to break that PKI thing into smaller, independent, less centralized pieces. It's way too big as it is. There appears to be something called "Symantec" between "Federal Bridge" and "US Senate" and then another "Symantec" between "Federal Bridge" and "Naval Reactors" -- that doesn't seem great.

They use export product complexity as a proxy for overall economic complexity because:

* the data is available and relatively standardized

* the export must be of a certain quality/price (otherwise other nations wouldn't buy it)

At one point in the 70s, the Indian government started offering people money to voluntarily get sterilized. These people didn’t have a free choice in the matter, their situation in life compelled them, in this particular case financially.
