I worked very closely with the people who wrote the related regulation (and a lot more) and contributed to that at EU level for years and years. Yes, certainly such debates came up a lot. As for action, the people I know cycled or took the train to set an example or because they liked it. I actually don't know a single person who does this to save money but this may be a factor of the bubble I live in.

Closer to home I have the same experience. It's not limited to driving. People are always looking to justify their choice and cherry pick the arguments for it. You name it, there will be an objectively correct argument to support it. You don't need to be pro-environment to claim you are. One neighbor who owns 2 Teslas couldn't give a damn about the environment but that's not stopping him from bragging to everyone who will listen that that's why he bought the cars. Another one has a PHEV that is never driven electric, same story. And another one constantly talks about the health and environmental benefits of cycling while his bike is a permanent fixture of the living room wall. Virtue signaling can come as an afterthought.

But most of these discussions were internet discussions though, just because its so easy to take part in a lot of them. For years on most sites (HN included) posts on ICE/BEV would surface the same discussions with each "side" pumping up the arguments that supported their views while trying to downplay the others' arguments even at the cost of hypocrisy.
> but it isn't technically a property tax

That is the loophole they use. They add all kinds of fees into the property tax but don't classify them as taxes. Best I know, there is no limit to how many and how much. Twenty years ago my property tax was just a single line item, the property tax. Now it's up to 6-7 (don't have the bill in front of me to check exact count) line items.

So yes, your CA propery tax^H^H^Hfee bill can be way over 1%
I have no idea what people see in wireless headphones. I have never once gotten the wire tangled, caught on something, anything like that. From my perspective, wireless headphones are "solving" a non-existent problem, at the cost of additional headache (charging) and at a higher price. They are strictly worse than wired headphones for my usage.
Martin Shkreli (also went through the New York district court) put together a pretty informative video on it.

It's pretty cut and dry - he's looking at about 45 points on the sentencing table. Not too long ago these were mandatory guidelines and as a result he'd be looking at life in prison.

Now a days these are recommendations and since he got pretty lucky with the judge they'll likely discount it 50ish %. So realistically he's looking at 20 years and with good behaviour he'll be out in 10.

You can debate what "presented as willing" means, and other things, but then you get to the point that many of these girls were 13-16 years old, and generally "looked young" - that was Epstein's modus operandi - he didn't want "plausibly adult" girls (either as a result of his own proclivities, or to further his (alleged/hypothesized) attempts at blackmail, or both). As Donald Trump famously said, "many of them on the younger side". Ghislaine Maxwell was introduced to Trump at 14 - and said she was 14 at the time.

So then you run into this awkward thing of how many plausible deniability criteria are we going to work with? "Presented as willing"? "Never asked age"? What else?
Investment banks produce pretty decent industry “primers” as part of their equity research business (basically it’s a service to bank clients). Someone on twitter recently shared a Dropbox folder filled with recent primers, and I see at least 2 in there about semiconductors:

I think specific devices will have more likely positive outcome over time as chips don't become more performant = the design wont be obsolete and still sell many years later.

Modular devices (laptops are a mix of many modems, displays, sound, disk etc.) have had more edge case bugs because the volume is too low per generation to warrant fixes.
That’s a really good point, although I do think the desperation/desire line in the case of ex. snorting coke is somewhat blurry. Overall though yes, in my mind I was imagining “serious crimes” like theft or interpersonal violence, rather than vice crimes like sex work or gambling. Definitely in many cases desperation is not a factor, but in many other cases I believe that it is.

Edit: I would also say that providing sex services is probably an act of desperation in many cases, even if paying for them isn’t.
>Isn't doing something regardless of potential consequences just another way to define desperate?

No, it is not. If you give a speech in front of a crowd you may embarrass yourself. Are you desperate to give that speech because there are potential consequences? If you go rock climbing you might fall and break your leg. Are you desperate to go rock climbing, simply because it involves risk? I don't see the logic at all.
This is important.

Not just that amzn algorithmically finds the optimal market clearing price.

If true, this would be a clear violation of anti trust law, despite being algorithmically implemented at scale. Unclear if intentionality matters for the law - even if the algorithms learned this behavior implicitly as the solution to a legal objective, it could be illegal.

Hmm, do you work at Meta Bellevue office? Sounds very similar.
I dig the core concept, particularly since I've been searching for a more efficient alternative to opening a blank DevTools window for executing various helper scripts. With that in mind, what about introducing a "Loose Mode" option of sorts, akin to a basic js interpreter? Granted, most of the tool's interactive functionalities probably wouldn't work in this simplified mode, but it would, in turn, expand the tool's overall versatility. Enabling you to use previously written scripts and/or experiment with code (such as copying an example snippet from the README) without having to first adapt it to a functional paradigm.
The actual application step might take that long, assuming you have all your supporting documents ready. The trouble is you often need to adapt your CV to the job & write a cover letter at a minimum. Depending how much you care about the job, this might include studying the job description carefully, reading the company website, and maybe even contacting the company to request more information. Then proof-reading and editing everything. It probably takes me at least an hour for most jobs, even if the actual submission of files only took 1 minute in the end.

It doesn't matter if I work in the office full time or part time, if my management team is made up of control freaks with a micromanaging nature that is distrustful of people "wasting company time", then my mental health is going to take a bad hit.

If my management team has faith in me to get the job done, provides me with clear goals I can provably meet with metrics and trusts me to manage my time wisely, my mental health is going to be great, whether I'm in the office or not.

Asking which is better, WFH, hybrid or in office, seems to me too simplistic. A lot of depends on which type of work a person is doing and what type of management style they work under.

I think it depends a bit on where you are in life.

I remember exaggerating a bit when applying for my first job. I was fresh out of university and really needed that job. I spent the following 2 years miserable, I just didn't fit in that well.

Nowadays I'm brutally honest with my application and the following interviews. I see it as me choosing where to work rather than the other way around. If they pick my application then I more or less know that I will fit in rather well. It has served me well over the years.

I can understand people being desperate and in need of that first job or having to start over due to different reasons though...
The Cloudflare gateway works pretty well for this honestly. You can send an HTTP request yourself to the Cloudflare gateway after pinning a file and Cloudflare will generally have it available.
Perhaps. Those who want to do that can leverage our Javascript and Python blocks to write whatever code they'd like.

Most of our platform is centered around "integrations". For example, You'd have a visual block for an S3 integration (that would have been previously configured) that you'd use rather than initializing an S3 client in code for example.

We want to meet people where they're at though. If you want to write code, you can do that but if you want to use a more visual approach, you can do that as well.
When I go into the office, it’s after taking a brisk 21 minute walk or a 6 minute train ride. I listen to music. I prepare myself mentally for the day. When I’m done, I leave my computer and my work phone sitting on my desk, and walk or take the train home.

I don’t devote a single square foot of my home to my employer. When I’m home, it has nothing to do with work.

I would never allow my employer to colonize my home.
That's not snark, it's pomp.

And it's the exact reason that people keep wanting Apple to make a repairable phone. Someone else can do it, and do a fine job, and you say "green bubbles" and turn up your nose. Well then, where's the repairable phone with blue bubbles, pray tell?

You're dangerously close to an admission that "the iPhone crowd" wants the logo as a status symbol and excluding underprivileged aspirants by increasing the cost of entry is the point.
I think you're mixing up the numbers. The 84% for Google is for the second half of 2020, the 20k number is for the two years previously, and the 13 for Apple were just the first half of 2022.

I would love a configuration without a touch pad but with an added ThinkPad style nibble.
The unfortunate irony in this story is that repairing stuff usually helps the environment, but in this case probably not, since older freezers consume quite a lot of energy, they were built when electricity was cheaper and using less optimized technology.

That being said, I'm fully in favour of repairable phones, the energy cost is not such an issue for such low power device.

I also think that todays dishwashers, washing machines, cooking plates, which are typically thrashed witin 10 years would benefit a lot from repairability if they are built to last.
Fair point, thanks matey.
This is only a problem if you think the mobile has value.

To me it's a consume only device.

Much rather have a tablet (with a keyboard and mouse for making real world applications, headset for audio) and a Pebble watch for notifications.

I feel like Ars did a better job with the data. I think it is questionable to call 18 and 19 year olds children though.

I think well-executed "on-sites" where the company covers travel and lodging, etc are incredibly important for fully remote and partly remote teams.

There should be plenty of notice given and they should be on a repeatable cadence once or twice a year.
2 things worth noting:

* Their definition of "children" excludes babies

* Their definition of "children" includes 19 year olds

If adjust your window to include everyone under the age of 18 and exclude everyone 18 and older, many of the points in the article are no longer true. A disproportionate amount of gun deaths are amongst young adults (not that surprising, since adults can buy guns and children typically can't)

Funnily enough, my state attorney general misread a similar article and started making claims yesterday about how gun deaths are the leading cause of deaths in 0-17 year olds, when AFAICT the data doesn't actually say that.
It's worse than that. You could see anything at all when you visit a page on X. Sometimes you see the X that was intended, sometimes you see a prompt asking you log in, sometimes you see an error message, sometimes you see some other X, sometimes you see a thread in forwards order, sometimes it is in backwards order, sometimes you see 1000 dittoheads screaming "SQUEE!"

Just don't do it. Don't advertise to the world that you like to eat doodoo burgers because somebody will try to feed you one.

For that matter, it isn't even good to link to something like that on Mastodon or Bluesky or Threads because that kind of post is decontextualized.

I haven't read that article, I don't care. If you actually want to communicate, as opposed to signal your membership in a tribe, it takes a lot more than 140 characters. Maybe you have something worthwhile to say about that article but for me to get anything out your post I'd have to take time out of my day to go read it.

People on HN really hate news about crypto positive or negative, YOShInOn usually says articles about crypto (even ones that I think are really substantial) have an 0.02 chance of frontpaging and our experience with what we post is consistent with that but that's because it never says anything has odds worse than that and we haven't submitted the thousands of thousands of articles that it would take to find out what the true odds are.
That sounds like an ideal lifestyle. I wish everyone had a similar situation, but unfortunately it's all too rare.
Back when I thought companies put any thought into their ads, I'd take each ad, make a list of things the job is looking for, and update my base resume with any relevant experience, making sure that things on the "looking for" list were at the top of their respective category.

I scaled back a bit once I saw how people actually write job descriptions (search Google until they find something "close enough" and post that verbatim).

>"Moreover, the UltraRAM researchers asserted that the new memory tech is expected to be capable of 1ns write operations, which is about 10x faster than DRAM."

This is very common and is basically one of the "ugly truth" that people get to know once they start doing academic research. If you want to live, you have to get published, and to be published, you have boots to kiss. The grant agencies and the reviewers are not going to be "open-minded" about all topics and there are things you are basically pressured into not saying even if you know that is likely how it actually is.

Journals and conferences would also refuse to host your studies if they find the contents to not align with "settled science", regardless of how or what the studies is actually about. And to an academic, that is potentially the end of their career once they got branded as someone too controversial to be associated with. No funding will come and no student will join. Unless they are big enough to carve out their own niche. But those are rare.
StreamingLLM: Efficient streaming technique enable infinite sequence lengths
The demo [3] seems very promising.

"Their method cleverly exploits the LLMs' tendency to use initial tokens as "attention sinks" to anchor the distribution of attention scores. By caching initial tokens alongside recent ones, StreamingLLM restored perplexity and achieved up to 22x faster decoding than prior techniques." [1]

"We show that StreamingLLM can enable Llama-2, MPT, Falcon, and Pythia to perform stable and efficient language modeling with up to 4 million tokens and more." [2]

"we discover that adding a placeholder token as a dedicated attention sink during pre-training can further improve streaming deployment." [2]

"StreamingLLM achieves an impressive speedup, reaching up to 22.2× per token. Despite its reduced latency, StreamingLLM sustains a memory footprint consistent with the re-computation baseline." [2]

I believe when this was published the review was also published, or at least part of it, because I recall that one of the reviewers had pointed out that he had biased his model by leaving out the stuff he left out. Which means he needed to argue why he left it out, which seemed rather duplicitous to me at the time. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

As a software maintainer myself, I believe the downstream distro maintainer is the one being wrong there.

You have a software project, with a build process, and the "output" or final product of that project is the library that gets uploaded to NPM.

If they are packaging a software library, they should do it from the project's repository, not from one of its output artifacts.

They would probably reject a request if someone who was downstream of their work decided to repackage their stuff and asked them to include tests and other superfluous content on their packages.

Nothing that they've chosen. The Fairphone isn't dramatically more expensive than other phones because it really isn't dramatically different. They don't have any modular parts that aren't already available on other phones in various combinations. They are just offering a slightly different box of COTS parts with a promise to support it. This is relatively cheap to do. It still suffers from some of the problems you mention and more: the logic board is all soldered, the modem is not modular, the software support promises are reliant on third parties, etc.
