> There’s nothing stopping an author from releasing one or two thousand words every as a single book, inside a larger story (basically having a book for what could have been single chapters ?)

Amazon has a separate service within KDP for exactly that kind of serialization, [0] so while its true that KDP handles a wider range of books than just the novel-size works people seem to be thinking about, that particular example is probably an explicitly not-prioritized use case for regular “book” publishing on KDP.

What's incredible is missing the fact that CO2 emissions and most kinds of pollution in general are verifiably multiples higher per individual in the West compared to elsewhere. We're just better at keeping them out of sight and apparently out of mind, too.
'Community' is defined by them. It does not mean us. It could mean the government, military industrial complex, biopharmaceutical complex, the board of Alphabet, and anybody else they wish to include in it.
I think I had read the three letter agency is storing this kind of data somewhere in a database for later technologies to decipher.

So I’d assume they could snoop packets and store that data elsewhere. Whenever they harness quantum computing I could assume they put that stored data of yours through it and decrypt it all.
You can presume or do anything you want with statistics, but your example was gross and if you think 10% chance of it being correct means you should spout it…yikes

But saying things like that, well..its bad for victims of false accusation as well, notice how I didn’t specify?

Good news is, people who put the type of comments out there like yours - they are their own reward - enjoy the world you are making for yourself, il steer well clear
Hmm. Benford aside, someone told me decades back that DEWS and Pave Paws were used to probe deep orbits for mystery objects.

Which didn’t make sense as you’d want something oriented towards Lagrange.

FFS, what else do you think people are stealing them for? To make abstract art? Kleptomania? To stop the 5G towers from giving them COVID?

People steal stuff because they can use it or because they can turn around and sell it. If they can’t do either, they eventually stop stealing those things.
It’s been my impression that Nintendo wouldn’t go for this unless coerced or without any better options to stay soluble. We are talking about two diametrically opposed visions of what video games should be, just like Apple and Microsoft had two diametrically opposed visions of what PCs should be. Microsoft acquiring Nintendo would be a lot like Microsoft acquiring Apple - a hell-frozen-over moment that, should it have happened, meant things had gone totally sideways for Nintendo.
We don't have much say in the placement of these centers.

We can also arrange for home/hotel verification to tourists.
An agent will travel to your location and finish the verification.

However, this facility is only available in a limited number of cities across India and we're already backlogged with requests.

We'll work on improving ease of onboarding in the coming months for sure.

The summary says:

> Apart from the 10$ account opening fees, there are no other costs for using the product. Funds added can be spent anywhere across India.

As mentioned above, there is a 3.5% fee for adding funds.

I looked into Cheq before my recent trip to India. After doing the math I realised it was cheaper to take out some cash at the airport for smaller transactions and tips. I had no issue using my credit card at larger stores.
My first interesting question was, "How do I open a port in awk?!"

A 15-minute human review is not going to be able to check all three of those things, or really do much of a job on even either of the first two in isolation.
No AI that you have to pay for that is a perfect talking partner can be even a close substitute for a close friend or partner who helps you from time to time, and who needs help from time to time, and has a physical and financial presence.

Perhaps some company will figure out how to simulate those aspects, but it sounds financially risky and ripe for exploitation.
may be you personally won't, but i would hope that some descendant of some humans today would survive to that time period.

I have noticed quite edgy videos that were ad-free before now heavily feature ads, so not sure about that. Many advertisers are not even based in the US, UK or any western country.

Futuristic technology has certainly been right wing for as long as that has been a concept. Looking to history, some of the most incredible technological breakthroughs any of us can think of, came from what is considered the most extremely right wing society to have existed.
It absolutely matters. The type of fit you get between a shaft and a hole differs on the order of 5 - 10 microns [1]. A micron is 0.01% of a cm so 0.03% can consume a large portion of your tolerance budget.

For example, you can make a shaft that fits in a hole like a spring because it can slide freely but air can't get out and you can shave a few microns off and it will sink into the hole at a controlled rate. This is all easily achievable in a home machine shop on a manual lathe. With Wire EDM, you can achieve even tighter tolerances and it would be perfectly possible to generate a part that could fit but could not spin because of the PDF error.

This is a particularly valid concern given ruby+rails seems quite memory inefficient to begin with. I've sometimes had smallish apps on 500mb heroku dynos crashing due to memory slowly climbing and eventually slowing things down as the dyno uses swap, and eventually 500mb of swap. IME ruby+rails doesn't seem to free up memory after it uses it, and that causes problems as the hours go by until the pod/dyno crashes or is restarted.

I can see where some people are acting as publishers for other authors or are commissioning others to create books for publishing so they can upload multiple books at a time. I'd be interested in knowing who can hit the limit and why.

Quality is another thing. A while back my library was purchasing tech related kindle books just because of the title. I know this since I borrowed one and it was just garbage. It was a combination of Wikipedia articles plus stuff that was gathered from the web with no editing.

But yes, I see your point.

I don't think the claim was 95% against symptomatic covid, it was against hospitalization or death.

The vaccine was tested against the original virus but Omicron was almost a different disease with much more immune escape. We're lucky the vaccine held up as well as it did. This is also why the alternative doctors that wanted everyone to catch covid to build up herd immunity were wrong, but nobody seems to bring them up. These discussions just devolve into the usual polarized political talking points.
Sorry, I didn't realise I didn't mention the context of my thought process: ad blocking.

The content remains, but the monetisation does not.
Something that handles the TCP connections and passes them to the wrapped program’s stdin and stdout. Back in the day, lots of network daemons were written as command line tools and executed via inetd.

> In fact, anything which doesn't explicitly need the richness of a true desktop GUI (e.g. Photoshop or games) should probably be a web app.

I'm going to throw a bit of shade at Photoshop... remember how up through CS3 they actually did have a native interface? From CS4 and beyond it turned into cross-platform web gunk.

Always disappointing to see. CS2 and CS3 felt so fluid on Mac OS X.

I think these days Clojure is a nicer way to easy into the Java ecosystem, because you can explore existing Java libraries interactively.

Here is a nice demonstration of what can you expect, if you want to build a web app:

https://youtu.be/LcpbBth7FaQ?si=PCZijF-JRmp0xxbz

If you add https://htmx.org/ into the mix, then you can build highly interactive applications, with a lot less complexity compared to building a purely data API consumed by some JavaScript frontend framework (React/Svelte/SolidJS and even ClojureScript)

Also, if you learn Clojure, you get a lot more benefits.
Shorter programs, which are easier to reason about and hence easier to maintain, etc.
These two points are entirely unrelated. Scaleability in that meme is not considering horizontal scalability, which approaches infinity for literally any language/framework. It only makes sense in the context of vertical scalability, and gross req/sec offers no insight into whether or not that's true.
That's all well and good, but it's weird to see automatically HN conclude that people distancing themselves from Brand are overreacting to a few allegations and not the more likely scenario: that there are more stories like this of Brand and it's been an open secret in entertainment for years.

Since these accusations, several famous people who have worked with him have come out with stories consistent with this behavior. Could it all be untrue, and there's some kind of witch hunt on Brand? I guess, but if it truly was an open secret, it makes perfect sense that people would distance themselves from him now when it comes out to the public.
The market for the entire VR industry is not that great to begin with. Apple might change this eventually or it might not. I just don't see how a small player today could hope to succeed where all existing big players struggle and even Apple might fail.

Also, I'm guessing it's much easier to put together a laptop from off-the-shelf components than to create a VR headset.
The way I intended to frame it, into your sentence:

"It means you block the monetisation component of the content"
That's not on a per-host basis. Shopify's design is, quite fortunately, one that partitions really well, as each store is completely independent of each other.

Each store can be assigned to one pod, each pod can have as many hosts as it takes to optimize the use of a database instance, and then you can add more pods as the need arises.

Edit: to be clear, that's not to say Rails can't scale. It can. It's just that it doesn't need to- you can scale anything with enough partitioning.
It is, though. I do real desktop work on a pair of XReal Airs and they're 1920x1080x2.

Besides which, being able to pan your vision around virtual monitors will make the resolution go a lot further.
Great story. So in the end the tickets got dropped?

After ETH switched from PoW to PoS, it had the effect of decimating the entire GPU mining market. Very few GPUs are being used for crypto any more.

If there are shortages, these days it is because of ML/AI/Gaming.

In fact, there are shortages... did you know it is nearly impossible to get data center space of any size for any decent price? AI has eaten it all up.

On top of it, AI doesn't care about the environment. There is so much money being dumped into it right now, that people are pulling power from wherever they can get it and at any cost.

On the bright side, at least crypto tried to go the cheapest routes... which happened to be mostly green based power.

So yea... be mad at AI now.
Neither is private by any meaningful measure.
Was it difficult to switch? What were the downsides / tradeoffs? (I read about jemalloc recently but don't know enough about it to confidently pursue it, but may try it on a small app if it's straight forward).
> but they will just steal more

Yes, classically, thieves just scale up their operations tenfold when their profit per theft goes down. This is why iPhone theft has skyrocketed in the past decade, to the point where the general public is anxious to ever wield such a device in public for fear of being immediately snatched.

Oh, wait, that’s not what happened at all.

Top carbon offset projects may not cut planet-heating emission
Agreed and I never tip more if it's automatically added. Tips are meant to communicate good and bad, and if I have no say, then I won't exercise it.
I don’t follow. I came of age in the era of records, cassettes and the waning 8-track (and emerging CD). I have Apple Music and, equally importantly, Apple Classical. I star what I want, download some for offline listening, and discover new music through stations, playlists and Shazam. It’s brilliant (though I miss tremendously the liner notes that came with albums). I haven’t the foggiest why I should enjoy music more if were to stop streaming it.
Don’t get too excited. It’s a regulatory capture play by the big monopolies.

It specifically exempts vertically integrated data brokers such as Google and Facebook.

In other words, if a data broker sells your data, and it is used for an ad auction run by a third party, that’s subject to the opt out.

If google uses your data to place bids on behalf of an advertiser in an auction that google runs and then places the ads using its own infrastructure, there is no opt out requirement.

If the second scenario sounds like it is prone to auction fraud and abuse of monopoly power, that’s because it is. Take a look at today’s DOJ testimony from a former Google exec.

(To be clear, I want a stronger, ideally opt-in, bill that applies equally to that entire industry, not one that picks winners based on lobbying and campaign donations.)

I was trying to recreate my desktop, I have 4 2560x1440 monitors and 1 4k core monitor. Even with direct connect on my occulus to my laptop with a 2nd wifi, I was getting 5-30ms latency and lots of hiccups. It wasn't pleasent, definitely not as pleasent as just setting up a travel dell 2560x1440 monitor and nothing on the new 4k 17" I just picked up for $300 on amazon.

The gpu on my laptop was also on fire and the machine was sluggish due to gpu issues, thermal issues, network issues.

It was also a less pleasant and less quality experience than real physical monitors. I also tried it with my index on the beast desktop I have that has those physical monitors turning the monitors off and putting in dummy plugs (same as laptop).

It sucked, my neck hurt, it was laggy, hard to position monitors which I had to do every time I set it up, and the resolution sucked compared to a physical monitor, and don't get me started on fots let alon comparing it to 43" 4k monitor.

I spent a decent amount of time in discord with immersed trying to get it to work. It's just not meant to be currently. And for the same price as a occulus, same weight, smaller footprint (the occulus is huge in a backpack, a tablet monitor is just and extra half inch of laptop), I get a much better experience. Also my neck doesn't hurt, I can see the world, and it's much higher res.

No, tips are meant to provide an excuse for lower baseline pay and to allow pay discrimination on what are otherwise protected traits by relying on the fact that tippers fairly consistently discriminate on those traits and anti-discrimination law does not apply to them at all.

This may seem overly simplistic and I'm not trying to be dismissive, but that's really what it comes down to. Sometimes things really are just simple.

I don't understand the desire to "standardize" and "document" everything to the microscopic detail.
It is, but it’s a pain in the rear end to maintain that account. This is what happened.

I had an NRE with icici. But kyc requirements kick in after some period during which the account is idle. This happened often, because I don’t use it when I’m in the US and my parents didn’t use it in India.

Getting that unlocked was a bit of a process needing snail mail and identity documents. It wasn’t icici’s fault. They were super helpful.

In short, I closed the account. Besides the depreciating rupee makes it not so attractive to keep dollars in India anymore.

Ok sure, let's say that person benefits from no bond, and can continue their life. Now consider a scenario where someone who drinks and drives get arrested but are let out immediately, then they do it again and get into a serious car accident. Or how about a serial car thief that is let out and continues stealing more cars. It seems likely to me that the community of poor people who, for the most part, are not criminals or criminal suspects, would suffer the most just because we have these other edge cases of someone smoking weed and not affording bail... which is why I think it's important to make the distinction between the potential criminals and poor people.

It's not ideal that someone got caught for something minor and can't afford bail, however that safeguard is in place to deter the actual criminals. If the law accounts for this and only removes bonds from low level crimes and only first time offenders, then I would agree with that.
My understanding is that lot of 23andme data is driven by self-reported data. I wonder how much this would change if it got vetted by a medical professional.
