If you have a higher chance of getting a disease, why wouldn't life insurance be more expensive? Life insurance will also be cheaper if you don't have that chance.

The point of insurance is to spread random risk around. Nobody complains that young women have cheaper car insurance than young men, or that young people have more expensive car insurance than older people, but cheaper health insurance. Young men are more likely to have car accidents, but less likely to have cancer. The point of insurance is not wealth redistribution or the spreading of systemic risk, but the spreading of random risk. (I mean this in the sense of 'systemic error' vs 'random error' that you will remember from high school physics.)
Legally sure. But still doesn’t not make them a jerk.

You cannot efficiently or effectively harness wind energy without a very large device. Nothing that you can fit on your balcony will harvest any significant amount of energy, not even enough to slowly charge your phone.

If your balcony gets sun during the day, you would be better off with a few cheap solar panels. They might at least be able to charge your phone for a few hours a day.

I bought a Flowbee in 2009 for $83 total. I cut my hair around once every 3 weeks, so I have paid 34 cents per cut so far, ignoring electricity cost of running a vacuum and the Flowbee for a few minutes.

There's no money in unbiased news.

I have to believe that's not true. When Bill Gates or Warren Buffett sit down at their breakfast table, do they get fed the same diet of pablum that I do, as an Apple News subscriber? I doubt it. They presumably pay a ton of money for access to unfiltered, unbiased global intelligence.

But I have no idea how to get the newsfeed that people like that must have access to, regardless of cost.

No, the driver with the green light has right of way.

Emergency vehicles are not allowed to break traffic laws in any state; they're just afforded some privileges other vehicles aren't, and other operators are required to get out of the way.

If an ambulance hits a car that had a green light, the ambulance driver is cited.

Obviously we are not privy to all relevant information, personalities, bureaucracies, etc etc, to be able to make such a strong claim as “would also be self-sabotaging”.

A more reasonable claim, may I offer, would be something like “that may turn out to be…”
No, but they shouldn't be allowed to not act as fiduciaries, and do what they do now, which is to load debt, do bolloxed sell-lease contracts, and basically take money from all sides, and screw everyone else into a pulp.

It's a garbage model out of a Dicken's novel and is a huge reason why a groundswell of anti-capitalistic sentiment keeps growing. It's a case study in "worst practices" of venality.
If there's trash, like at a fast food restaurant, I throw it all away. Fancier restaurants don't let customers bring their dishes back to the kitchen. Though in the college dorms I always brought my dishes to the dirty dish conveyor belt thingy they had, instead of leaving my plates and tray at the table like a slob.

I am working on a new hash that uses more memory (aiming around 4KiB that's shared in a process), but is a whole lot faster. The finalizer for that hash is a universal hash which I believe is 2^(2-k) almost-delta universal mod 2^k for any k <= 64. So the bottom bits are always high quality.

PolymurHash has no such guarantee, the claims are only over the full hash. That said, I don't expect problems in practice due to the Murmur style bit mixing at the end.
Ok. So global inequality is lower than it's ever been since it could reliably be recorded.

They may have right of way, but does that mean they can blast through an intersection at any speed or is there a reasonable speed they should be proceeding at?

On what's currently made public, this really feels like it could go either way with regard to which party was more at fault.
This is probably the most commonly repeated myth about a potential westpac war, that the PRC wants to get TSMC and the US wants to preserve access to it, and that's why there's an incentive for war and why there's this constant escalation between the US and China. I don't know why it's so popular among people who don't know the subject matter, but it is.

If westpac goes spicy, TSMC as it exists today is toast. The US will bomb the shit out of it if they can't keep it, and probably target any personnel they can't extract from the island; there was recently a big kerfuffle in TW domestic politics over someone in the US saying so publicly. The PRC wants chip independence, but everyone involved in that discussion understands that if the PRC waved a magic wand and gained complete control of TSMC, it doesn't give them ASML, it doesn't give them Zeiss, and a lot of that technology and process won't necessarily be usable until there are domestic equivalents to those technologies, by which time it would probably be out of date. Reverse engineering manufacturing methods from a seized sample is incredibly, unbelievably difficult in the best of times, let alone for atomic precision mirrors and high-throughput miniature factories operated under high vacuum. More importantly, the PRC just isn't willing to go to war over chip independence; their bar for war is a lot higher than that.

The reason the PRC wants actual control of Taiwan in 2023 and could credibly go to war to achieve it is the same reason they wanted actual control of the island from the years 1949-2023 inclusive, the same reason that the Taiwan government wanted actual control of the PRC mainland from the years 1949-1990: because they view the territory as rightfully theirs, taken from them by people who they hated, and perceived that there was a decent chance they could get it by force. PRC control over Taiwan would be the final chapter in the civil war that quite literally birthed the PRC - it has immense political and national significance and has been essentially a major goal and organising principle of the PLA and the PRC as a nation ever since the KMT retreated to Taiwan. It is not about trying to get access to new GPUs.
Are suggesting we abolish the Constitution and create a new one?
I honestly don’t know the answer.

Google and Apple have competitors who can supply equivalent goods. Bing and OpenAI might step up to the challenge. Samsung etc. to the lost phones.

So I think TSMC is more important
Interesting that now, in contrast, startups are desperate to claim any specificity at all for differentiation, with the general solutions being so powerful

Learn X in Y Minutes[1]. Shows you all of the things you need to know in a programming language in code, with fully commented examples. I use it mostly as a reference, but I used it to learn some languages, such as C++, Rust, and Vala. When I was young, I was given a "Get Coding!"[2] book (the first one), which covers the basics of web development, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which really jumpstarted my programming career.

Wasn't Osama bin Laden a CIA operative that worked against the soviets? Maybe the correct move would be to not train and arm extreamists?
I agree.

I'm not quite so shy, but on that same side of the spectrum for sure. The deal with me these days is that I've got a couple kids; one thing that comes along with that is quite a bit of social interaction with people you're not 100 percent at ease with. So, that energy - the same type id use to do some small talking with the neighbors - is almost always on E for me.
1,200 calories per day is an exceptionally restrictive diet in any case. I think it might be more obvious the difference if you were just eating till you felt full and tried swapping around different foods (though there is plenty of historical record of people resorting to nonfood items of no nutritional value just to fill their stomachs if hungry enough).
That limits your application though. It means you have to use the system file picker. For many apps that might be fine. But it means you can't have something like vim or emacs where you open files with a command. Or have an option that does something like open a sibling .h file when you are editing a .c file. Or search up the directory to find the applicable .editorconfig file.
What does “positive” mean in this context? What’s relevant is that Google has a tremendous financial incentive to prove fiber can be built cheaply, because it has a much more profitable product built on top of broadband. And they couldn’t do it.

Yes! I've been wanting a TPM 2.0 extension that lets users provide something like a bytecoded program that runs like a secure enclave: if its hash matches a secret's authz, then the program is authorized to use it via well-defined APIs (e.g., sign data), and the bytecode interpreter would keep the program from doing things it shouldn't.
That's meaningless. 'Rights' are a legal concept. They exist in law, nowhere else. You cannot just assert that they 'exist'. Where do they exist? Where are they enumerated? Who decides what is and isn't a 'right'? If I say I have a right, is that determinative? Is it based on what people thought in the 18th century, or what we think today? Much of what we think today is influenced by how people have interpreted those documents, so basing it on people's views today means it's essentially circular.

People assert they have all sorts of rights all the time. Most of them conflict with other rights that other people assert exist, and even other rights that they themselves assert exist. What do we do about this?

I actually think 'rights' legislation is pretty stupid. It's a lot easier to write an Act that says 'Every one has the right to a free, public and comprehensive secular education' than it is to write an Act that provides a free, public and comprehensive secular education system. The latter requires sorting out what all of those things actually mean in practice. What level of education do you provide for free? What level of choice do people have about their children's education, vs the view that as a society we should protect children from the 'bad' decisions of their parents? That also means protecting them from their parents' good decisions. Are we okay with that? What does it mean for education to be secular. Are they allowed to learn about religion? Are they allowed to close the school at lunchtime and teach religion in the afternoon, unofficially, as often happens? Concrete systems are much more important and much more effective than any abstract statement of 'rights'.
That’s far too late, that’s like driving into a lake and choosing not to swerve until the last second

This video and reading the recent article referencing Brimar valves (of the vacuum tube variety) [1] led me down the rabbit hole of, how hard can it be to make a few CRTs. Despite growing up with them, it turns out I had no idea. Lots of ovens and nasty chemicals involved - see for yourself in this great old video [2]. I wonder if anyone in the retro scene is eccentric and rich enough to give it a go…

The deep, deep irony of the parent poster applauding platform-wide policing of language that offers no choice to opt out and at the same time attempting to cast aspersions on others about not wanting to allow choice should not be lost on us.
IMHO, they would have zero impact.

I’m fully in Apple ecosystem, but I can migrate to Linux or Windows computer and Android phones.

I don’t use Google for search and have been trying to get off of Gmail anyway.

If FB vanishes, I won’t feel anything. Same for most of other companies.

But without TSMC, no computers, no mobile devices, every hardware would be impacted and most things would be limited to stock at hand.

To have a TSMC size impact numerous of those companies will have to vanish at the same time.

The site compares it to Rust and Go but to me the comparison is AssemblyScript. It’s also WASM-native and new with relatively little ecosystem around it. But compared to Moonbit it’s a familiar language to anyone that’s used TypeScript. So why use Moonbit over AssemblyScript?
Speaking of windows Vista, a tale of two friends kts call them ben and randy.

Ben has a Compaq laptop that is Vista capable. It takes upwards of three minutes, I kid you not, of blank screen to get a UAC prompt for elevated access request. And those were very common with Vista.

Randy has a nice (and expensive) desktop and thinks windows Vista is just fine and all computers should upgrade to it (college computers still has Windows XP and there was no plan to upgrade existing computers to visits that I knew of).

They both have wildly different opinions of Windows Vista.

Nah. It’s a midsize forum. Reddit is bigger. Mumsnet tier.
It seems like the misunderstanding / issue you have is that you don't appear to download anything. As someone that downloads plenty (video games, large binaries in general) I'm at 1.2Gbps and would definitely need more in the next few future years. Would I be fine with 500Mbps/500Mbps? Sure but I'd be grumpy but at least it would be symmertrical.

These are all good qualifiers and positive indicators of more likely success, and that's with only two comments so far.

Good advice on why and how this should be approached may still not give very accurate guidance about when.

I expect more good comments will follow, and the list could get quite extensive.

At some point (maybe even now) it may be impossible for any founder to meet all of these characteristics before launching a particular business, no matter how much time is spent in preparation.

So the real difficult question becomes "when do you start a business if preparations are not ideal and advantages are not largely stacked in your favor?"

I say when you can't not do it.

> There's no concept in American society of a universal ethical standard at even the most fundamental level

When I grew up, which was not long ago, we viewed America as that curiously Christian country of the West. Everyone else was very secular, but those American? They're all Christians, they're crazily religious.

Maybe this has become less true over the last decade or so, but I think that you'll find that the percentage of Americans that describe themselves as Christian is still very high. It seems that there is a pretty universal ethical standard at the most fundamental level. It just turns out that, like all things in life, people disagree about how to translate broad, abstract moral claims into concrete policies. You might agree on a 'separation of church and state' or 'free speech' but that doesn't mean you agree on what that means in practice. Does it mean that public officials shouldn't be allowed to display religious symbols, like it does in France? Does it mean that Islamic headscarves on women and crucifix necklaces are banned in schools? Does the UK have separate religion and state? Certainly its political process is less influenced by religious voting blocs than America's. But its head of state is Supreme Governor of the Church of England. These things are complicated.
Damn, it'll stink if they lock down these more. A fair number of professional astronomical instruments have pretty much open FTP sites / git repositories / etc. and you can go download and rifle through the stuff people are working on, control code for the instruments, etc.

Lmfao, of all the organizations they could have called on, they picked Greenpeace? Anything Greenpeace says about anything nuclear can safety be assumed a lie until proven otherwise. They have negative credibility.

The level of brainwashing and propaganda in the terrorist state of russia is truly staggering.

Owning a smartphone isn’t a magical key to free access of objective truth, and even if it was, it certainly doesn’t intrinsically provide motivation for average babushka to go and seek information that contradicts the narrative that they themselves need to believe to continue to have a sense of identity.

I think writing "you merged" rather than,"we don't do this" would be a bit better. Also not acknowledging that there were no users yet, so impact wasn't there actually, but it would be if it happened later, was also important to acknowledge as the lead.

In general I'd write a similar thing, just speaking of the team, and not overplaying the impact. If you had no users it was no problem, that's the truth. But it would be a problem in the future so you want the team to know and practice safety. People tend to be upset if you hype it more than it is, even an little, and it comes across as you just wanting to be right for rights sake. And generally we/team/process focused language is better than "you fucked up". Why did you even have merges enabled without reviews? It's more your process failure than that guy.

That being said I work in full remote with many different cultures so I have an "international average". If this was a fully Russian team or some such even what you wrote was too soft in my experience and you actually need to be very clear or they think it's nothing.
