Yes I mean what do/did they do to be considered dictators, not trying to argue for the opposite I just don't know.
You definitely don't need a 3t truck to carry your family, especially when you know how small modern families are… The average household size in the US is 2.53. And 63% of households are only made of one or two person (that is, the majority actually doesn't “have a family”), which fits in 482 kg Citroën Ami.

Also the most common car in Europe (Dacia Sandero), which is a 5-seater only weights 1 036kg. Gigantic American cars are a cultural phenomenon (which is mostly ad-driven by the way), it doesn't relate to an actual need.
Because babies and kids do not vote. Why is Medicaid a separate thing than Medicare? Because poorer people are less likely to vote than older people.

The US is composed of very fractured tribes, that people move in and out of throughout their lives. And US politicians are tasked with keeping taxes extremely low, and services very high, and the various tribes do all they can to give disproportionately little relative to how much they benefit.
This is the problem with for-profit news outlets, they can't afford not to run the story that others are. State-run news outlets is also not good.
Math is invented with a purpose to help humans understand the economy and the world around them. Economy, in turn, was also invented to help humans organize their resource use.

The more humans understood the world, the more they tried to apply math and other sciences (also invented by humans) in order to explain it.

It's not even a question. Two apples will always be two apples. It's just that, without math, it would be "an apple and another apple next to it".
This “feature” is going to severely injure or kill someone. I’d be surprised if it hasn’t already caused harm to some degree, in fact.

50 hours is not the expectation from an ARPG mainline title. If their goal was to just push the story forward, fine. But that clearly isn’t what they were going for. From that perspective, it’s not great.

Overwatch got review bombed because they just remonetized overwatch 1 and did things they said they wouldn’t do. It’s actually a pretty good parallel to the unity story.
Honest question: Have you recently done any frontend development? I think your assessment might have been valid 3-4 years ago, but nowadays if you keep to an established framework (e.g. Next.js with Tailwind), frontend development is about as simple as it was during the Rails + Bootstrap era.

If you support the regime, then your most heinous crimes will be ignored. If you question the regime, then they'll find something to criminalize you, figuratively in the press if that's sufficient, or literally in the courts if need be. This has been true for all of human history, I suspect.

The thing about FoF is it gets people to stop believing anything which is very effective for bad actors and far less useful for good actors.
To be perfectly clear, most addicts understand that their addiction is killing then, but caring about that pales in comparison to the addictive urge to continue using. It's not some cerebral choice- once addicted, you are no longer in control of your body, or it's urges.

With that said, we as a society do have a responsibility to protect children - free access to heroin (for instance) would be incredibly harmful to children, who have not formed the ability to properly assess risk. Allowing for unfettered access to heroin for adults is much more complicated. Given how easy it is for most adults in America to access the drug, I would argue we are already contending with many of the complicated factors of unrestricted access already. How to deal with those problems is something I don't have many good answers for.
Ainft Avatars: The Mobile App: Driving Adoption

At the forefront of this evolution lies the AINFT Mobile App, a groundbreaking Android/iOS application that empowers users to seamlessly interact with AINFT avatars and manage their semi-custodial crypto wallets. Beyond the technical jargon, this article delves into the significance of a smooth user experience for non-crypto enthusiasts and explores our strategic journey to market AINFT using this mobile app.
There are a lot of things that are trivial to build. That's often not the question at a startup. At a startup, it's "what is the most valuable to build". Implicit in this is often, "what's unique to my product that I must build".

If I can take X to drop in a 3rd party feature flag system, that is almost always going to be more valuable than building it in house. It gets me back to mainline work.

But can != will, I know that exploiting power is hard to resist but I am asking for specific examples as I don't really follow what happens in that area.
2016 wasn't "Hillary's election". Hillary was essentially the worst candidate that the Dems could have put out against Trump. By that same logic, it should have been "Bernie's election".
> That's just probably not the reason it would be "hot" to a lot of people.

I'm not sure what do you mean by "it" in this sentence. I don't think the age difference would be considered "hot". Maybe you meant "she" as 21 is near the peak of attractiveness for females. For some reason many of them don't accept the fact that it's something that dwindles with time. Which is sad because if you accept it upfront, you get less frustrated when gradually men start paying less attention and so on.
Understand the frustration with the card, but why not use a regular CC and get reimbursed if the service was otherwise valuable?
Most fantasy genre fans have tried a bit of Sanderson simply due to how prolific and popular he is. Hence we all have opinions.

In the same vein, most fantasy fans will also have some opinion on Harry Potter. Or pop music fans will have something to say about Taylor Swift these days.
It's usually clear from context what you mean, even if you work with operators and functionals.
That is a genuine question very easily answered by wikipedia or your favourite search engine
For electron-based tools that were designed as web-first apps, I agree with you that it's better to have them in a browser tab than as standalone apps.

However, for real desktop tools that utilize the operating system's bells and whistles, which truly make an app a desktop app—like Sublime—I'd never use an alternative in the browser.
funny you should mention this, but Encyclopedia Britannica is online, free, and perhaps unsurprisingly does not often show up on SERP page 1.

Indeed; but in their defence, members of parliament did not know, at the time, that this guy was a Nazi.

It's a weird kind of cold war; there's government agencies performing cyberattacks worldwide constantly, but it never turns into "You overstepped a mark" and resulting conflict / sanctions / consequences - at least not as far as I can tell.
I'm in no way defending him or the government's actions here. I want to add though that Canada did have a commission in 1986 look into this person's unit (Galacia Division) did not find evidence implicating them in war crimes. If there is evidence of course I'm all in favor of extraditing and prosecuting him and others

The report also found that Canada was home to several thousand ex-Nazis who couldn’t be directly implicated in war crimes given the available evidence.

This was the inquiry’s verdict on the Galicia Division, the Ukrainian Waffen-SS unit in which Yaroslav Hunka – the man applauded Friday in the House of Commons – was a veteran.

> People expect few bugs, good UI and UX. There is a LOT of upfront work.

You might have a VC-funded product that has 0 bugs, perfect UI and UX and still nobody is using it. I've seen this in practice, even a decade ago. I believe that bootstrapping actually forces you to think about how useful the thing that you're building is to people. And if it's useful and in a good niche, users will work with you through a couple bugs. That said, some products are harder to build in a bootstrapped way than others.

Also, having show-stopping bugs in your app is as bad today as it was 10 years ago no matter if you're bootstrapped or VC-funded. It's rare that people use something that doesn't work.
My privacy is my own. The ISP does not have a right whatsoever to determine whether it has content I want. The content that the ISP has is tainted specifically because it's not the exact content that I wanted. It's not the same bitrate, it's not the same quality, it's not the same lack-of-advertisements, and it's not the same guarantee of privacy.

Crap like Sun's CDDL and MPL were endorsed by OSI although they were developed explicitly in opposition to the GPL. Yeah, they might be nominally "free", but their aim was fairly nefarious at the time. OSI endorses all sorts of licenses that are free in name only.

Code Review for Developers Improving Their Skills
Hey Hacker News community!

As a self-taught developer, one of the major challenges I faced in learning to code was a lack feedback on my work. I learned to code primarily from courses and practice projects, but struggled to know how my skills stacked up and where to focus on improving. In the early days of my coding journey, I would spend hours fiddling with variable names or refactoring function organization, never really sure what the most readable code looked like, while also being completely unaware of other factors I should have considered such as efficiency.

While there are many resources available for perfecting your LeetCode style interview question skill, few options exist for getting feedback to improve practical coding skills that reflect more of what is needed on the job. That’s why I’m excited to share a new product we’ve been working on at Hatchways (https://www.hatchways.io) that aims to solve this problem.

Today we're introducing Hatchways Code Review for Developers, a platform designed specifically for developers to practice coding on practical projects, receive feedback through automated tests, and get personal code reviews from experienced developers.

Integration and differentiation are examples of higher order functions. And so are many things you can do to groups.

I specifically meant getting this is important for programmers who deal with higher order functions.

It is not so important for mathematicians who deal with higher order functions.

Mostly because the intended audience for their writings is smarter than a computer, and there's typically more context.
I definitely agree with the difficulty in identifying reliable products, and it is made even more difficult due to marketing (e.g. conflating the "quality materials" of the shell with the overall reliability of the product).

That said, such things did happen in the past. Paper is the classic example since the manufacturing process affected its longevity, yet many other materials are graded based upon their properties.
I would honestly be shocked if UPS didn't have different agreements with big shippers.
New method helps AI navigate 3D space using 2D images
> On September 22, 2023, following an address to the Canadian parliament by Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Rota introduced and recognized Yaroslav Hunka in the parliamentary galleries. He identified Hunka as a "war hero" who fought for the First Ukrainian Division; Hunka was applauded by members of all parties. Subsequent media reports identified Hunka as having been a member of the 14th SS Division in World War II. Two days later Rota issued an apology saying that more information had come to light, causing him to regret having invited Hunka.

Wow, this is basically a storyline from The Thick of It or similar.

(I have the vague memory of more or less exactly this playing out in some sitcom, possibly The Thick of It or Yes Minister.)
That is unfortunate. You guys need to stop chasing shiny objects and pick up the 1.x stack. You had a lot going and you’re about to make the same mistakes again.

And yes, hobofan, I have done recent UI development. I use CSS Grid as it essentially makes Bootstrap legacy - and I have used that since version 1.

I use ArrowJS and ES6 directly, even lighter than anything you mentioned. You are probably just assuming I am technically incompetent, but I've been down a few rodeos in 20+ years of doing this.
What is it specifically about the 1970/80s that causes this dip? Was there an explosion of this academic writing around that era or something else to have this effect?

I believe it’s theoretically possible (practically impossible) if done in vacuum (to prevent oxidation) and you somehow increase the density of the egg to remove any vapor pressure (to prevent vaporization).

Just guessing here. I’m no thermodynamics expert, just a guy who melt things occasionally.
> The Reinheitsgebot, literally "purity order", is a series of regulations limiting the ingredients in beer in Germany and the states of the former Holy Roman Empire.

I suggest you take a look at Micrograd inplementation and watch video tutorial about it from Karpathy. Also „Python Deep Learning” book is quite good.

In short you need to understand: vector, linear combination, cross product, partial derivative, chain rule and finding global minimum. If you have basics of linear algebra it’s easy to grok this video.

> default assumption is that everything is fake until proven not fake.

This is what it's like living under an authoritarian government. "Of course the government is lying", "Of course the politician is lying", "Of course my neighbor is lying", "Of course the company is providing me with a fraudulent product"

This eventually turns into a kind of learned helplessness and is how you create a crapsack nation/world. "Everything is bad, so there is no reason I should do anything good"

I can promise you that you won't enjoy this world we're creating if you don't live in an authoritarian shithole already.

According to Crunchbase and some other sites flagsmith did raise funding. Is Crunchbase wrong or is taking angel money considered bootstrapping nowadays?

https://www.axial.net/forum/want-to-grow-your-software-busin...

According to Axial Flagsmith is a 50/50 joint venture with a private equity firm:

> Then came Polychrome. Through a VC connection Rometsch was introduced to Polychrome Capital, a long-term investment firm focused on helping small but budding software companies grow their businesses through market outreach and strategic expertise. The chemistry between Rometsch and Polychrome’s founders was immediate via phone, and in September 2020 – during the midst of the pandemic – Rometsch and the Polychrome founders structured a 50-50 joint venture, before they even met in person.

> “We set up the deal so we didn’t get that ownership stake until we had fulfilled our promise of growing the business,” said San Francisco-based Alex Boswell, a co-founder and partner at Polychrome. Initially, Polychrome offered Flagsmith 25% equity in exchange for a cash investment, and after Flagsmith hit a certain milestone, the other 25% equity was granted. Two years later, Flagsmith has grown by 20-times revenue, he noted.
that only works if you can sell your home for what you paid for it. Demand contracts when interest rates rise.
This is a needlessly aggressive take IMO, and hailing Rust as the be-all and end-all for secure software lacks nuance, giving the language and its adherents a bad reputation.
Because storage, even globally replicated, isn't the core cost or the core function of a security company.

Your app, the detection of forms (when total idiots try to prevent password managers being used), the security audits, active intrusion detection, etc... those are yet to be handled by an AI, so these cost a lot.
Not the person you replied to and don't have kids yet, but with the current state of TV, I'd much rather let my child watch their entertainment on an old laptop (or tablet or whatever) that I control rather than a TV.

They can more easily watch with headphones, they can even watch in private if they're introverted, and I'd feel a lot better knowing they won't switch channels without my knowledge or watch adverts for stupid plastic trash.

Well, there's a core group of people here with an agenda that like to pick on a tiny little country. It's that simple.

And NSO isn't "Israel". It's a private company that's owned by by a UK investment firm "Novalpina Capital" as part of a suite of technology companies called "Q Cyber" that's run out of Luxemburgh. But nobody ever suggests "going after" the UK about this issue.
