While I can appreciate the optimism of this article, it really only focuses on the perspectives of the rich and powerful and their pet projects to save the city, hardly reflecting the sentiment of the last sentence (“The only solution that’s a real solution is a solution in which everyone is involved”).

Try interviewing people like me who can only afford to live with housemates even though I’m 40 years old and supposedly make a lot of money because I work in tech. I moved out last month after a beloved clerk at a market in the outer richmond was savagely beaten to death by a shoplifter.
More like:

AGPL: If you want to host it, go ahead. If you want to host a modified version of it, provide source.

SSPL: If you want to host it, release your entire stack under the SSPL first. Good luck with that, lol.

BUSL: If you want to host it, you better not be making any money from it.
Dandelions taste gross though. That's why nobody wants to eat them.

Also, grass is native in a lot of places.
As Terry Pratchett pointed out, that’s the trouble with Pascal’s Wager.

> “This is very similar to the suggestion put forward by the Quirmian philosopher Ventre, who said, "Possibly the gods exist, and possibly they do not. So why not believe in them in any case? If it's all true you'll go to a lovely place when you die, and if it isn't then you've lost nothing, right?" When he died he woke up in a circle of gods holding nasty-looking sticks and one of them said, "We're going to show you what we think of Mr Clever Dick in these parts...”
Debt existed before money (based on plenty of anthropology research among other) and money was actually invented to more easily manage and satisfy it. Not to measure "value", that was a retroactive definition added much later.

Now, lacking any possibility to discharge debt was considered immoral in many religious and philosophical texts since antiquity. Similar arguments and reasons should apply to (im)morality of "undeserved" income.
I'm also amazed that no one has analyzed how much the additional accelration needed after unnecessary stops is contributing to our greenhouse gas emmisions.

Air polution from vehicles is directly related to acceleration, this is when most fuel is burned.

So I would think traffic opptimization would be a climate change prevention activity...
In this context "Roundup" means "collection". None of these studies are about the herbicide Roundup.
It is toxic, it's rat poisoning. Do the lower levels of tooth decay outweigh the risks? So far they have decided yes in many places but that is changing (like lead pipes)
Protons set to power next-generation memory devices – KAUST Discovery
The US is well known for having the worst social safety net of any advanced country. Where are your statistics showing that the US is a leader in supporting the poor?

If we took better care of those less fortunate, it seems obvious to me that they would commit fewer crimes, require less resources of policing and punishment, and people would be less afraid to walk the streets. True, there is a lot of poverty and crime in the US now. Do you think more police, more prisons is the best solution?

And anyway, if you don't want to help other people, I question your sense of "morals." It seems to me that helping to care for your fellow man is one of the basic tenets of morality.
This seems extremely useful. I heard people saying that UBlock Origin would still work, but it seems that it doesn't work with the new YouTube popups. Hopefully this script helps.
Yes, that's exactly how I understand affordance. I just didn't get the distinction between original & current meaning other commenter described.
There can be several reasons why they (and their employees) would want that though. Being very honest is not a positive in this case. Duplicate work and ambiguous ownership is fuzzy and unclear. They won't come out and say "we overhired and now we are shedding our deadweight" because no one wins with that more crude statement.

The least you can do for the laid off employees in this situation is try and not make it harder for them to find new jobs, so you keep the message vague.
It's relevant. Drug abuse permanently affects the brain, rehabilitation never returns most to their previous baseline.
I supposed you could prove me wrong: Try to find a HN thread about glyphosate where no one gaslights, deflects, toxifies or baits.

Any time, in the whole history of HN. One single story, where no one tries to pretend or insinuate that Roundup / glyphosate is perfectly safe, or attack people / studies / lawsuits that suggest otherwise.

The only rule is that it must have at least a dozen comments - there's no need to FUD on stories with no traction. Bonne chance!
Windows is a tool for testing patience.
I dunno, it literally got me to a 180k salary (Eastern Europe based so astronomical) just by me having a profile there. I didn’t have to find a job since 2015 thanks to it. You might argue that the feed is shit, but to me it’s normal human behavior trying to stand out and abusing everything that you can (including feed algos), so I just don’t look at it.

I’ll be forever grateful to LinkedIn and I would never be in the situation I am right now if it hadn’t have been for it.

It’s a tricky balance. It would be easy for Atlassian to add settings. But every setting adds complexity. And I think we can all agree that we don’t want Jira to be more complex.

It takes a short time to adjust to UI changes, but settings live on forever.
I don't think tech courses or certificates have ever been a top consideration when reviewing backend engineer qualifications. Only if we're hiring for a specific technology that's niche. Most certificates just teach you how to understand/sell a specific technology stack which sometimes is helpful, but other times can make you not see simpler solutions. I'd check out what's freely available first.

Your 400 dollars is probably better spent making mistakes building your own personal project on aws/or some other cloud provider.
I pay $0 a month to host a website. A number of artists I've bought from have you pay with paypal and a download link is included on your receipt. That's what, nine cents per transaction plus five percent, and minimal egress charges from a cloud provider.

I am not sure if everyone left, but I do see less and less STEM teacher posts.

I am not sure if it is just changes to the stream shown to me or something else.

This feels the same like Tiktok. In 2020 it felt like a platform of creators.

Today it feels optimized for advertisers.
Way back in the day I used to get excited when I saw a notification from Facebook / Reddit / LinkedIn. Now, every notification is this kind of crap, so I make sure to block all notifications from these apps.

I'm sure these sorts of changes increase engagement in the short term but are detrimental to the product in the long term. I really think that change was the beginning of the end for Facebook in particular.
> Specifically, I want to know which countermeasures to employ to deny them as much information as possible

They gather data from all kinds of sources outside of their direct realm. Credit card companies, DMV records, etc.

To counter it, you have to stop leaving an electronic trail with anyone. Pay only cash. Don't register a vehicle, etc. In other words, you can't escape it without disengaging from society entirely.

But even if you can't eliminate the data flow to these companies entirely, it's absolutely worth reducing it as much as your tolerance for inconvenience allows.
>> I've only read two of those, but in both the competition is wholly with external actors. Within the Culture itself, the Minds are of one mind about how to act.

> If you really think there is no internal dispute between minds I will politely ask to read the novels again.

I misstated what I meant a little bit. There are disputes between Culture Minds, but it seems like they're about foreign policy and competing with external actors. They're of one mind about maintaining the "liberal anarchy" within the Culture itself.
Hungarian is probably one of the shallowest languages — it is almost exactly phonetic except for j and ly, which are pronounced identically so the specific spelling must be memorised.
> If you had a question you could ask God, what would it be?

> I wouldn’t ask God, but in general: why is there existence, rather than nothingness? It’s the biggest of all questions and it’s not my question. It was posed 2,500 years ago by Greek philosophers. It’s the question of questions and, of course, there’s no answer.

I used to work at Microsoft, though I left a few years before MS purchased GitHub. Post-2010s, Microsoft was still migrating many products away from Perforce/SourceDepot and into TFS, and then TFS+git around ~2015. Microsoft hacked TFS to be a git server so they could continue to use TFS for work-item/project-tracking (and no-one wanted to go back to Product Studio). That’s TFS’ strength, as far as Microsoft is concerned, because git hosting is a trivially fungible feature here - whereas GitHub’s Issues only works well for small teams and really doesn’t scale to projects on the scale of Windows or Office.

…but I’ve noticed that GitHub’s recently (since 2020?) has really being fleshing-out their Projects/Issues - it’s not quite as flexible as TFS/AzDO’s Work-Items but on-track to reach parity in a few more years, I reckon.

So that’s my pet-theory: eventually GitHub (and GitHub Enterprise) will reach “good-enough” parity with AzDO for Issues/Work-Items/Project management - and as soon as that happens I fully expect AzDO to die an unceremonious death (because MS doesn’t want to spook the many Enterprise(TM) customers who still bankroll it). We may-or-may-not see some improvement in AzDO-to-GitHub migration tooling, as that that comes down to what side of the bed the Director of the ALM team woke up on that morning.

This needs to be taken into account when running on metal instances with different cloud providers. You would also want an assurance that metal instances aren't ever repurposed to be VM hosts in the future.

I'd say $120k and $24k are comparable. In comparison, one is five times the other.

I have never seen that application, as I live in farming central of Michigan.

But I would not doubt someone thinks this is a good idea to speed to-market for extremely large fields. Most of those use contract harvesters on very tight schedules.
Interesting analogy! There's no clear infinite tape equivalent in MemGPT, but you can view the virtual context loosely as a tape. Moving the head could correspond to MemGPT indexing into virtual context - if the data is in-context (inside the LLM window), it's a direct read, but if data isn't there (it may/may not be stored in external context), the read requires a function call to "page in" the data.

I spent some time a while back to "unfollow" everyone on linkedin apart from a very few select individuals. I unfollow people by default everytime I have a new connection. My wall is uneventful, but at least I don't feel like I'm going to facebook everytime I connect (which is rare)
Mid-level backend engineer? Buy the book "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" and read it.
The individual commissioners are appointed by national governments in a completely opaque process.

The exact distribution of responsibilities of the EC and who is to lead the commission is determined through international diplomacy.

Sure, the democratically elected parliament can veto the commission. But not propose a new one.

To even start comparing it with elections for US president and British PM is disingenuous at best.
1. Everything you say could be true, and Google's solution could still be more efficient than tearing up 90% of the intersections in the US.

2. Retiming the traffic lights is an answer to a problem. Google's approach is only one possible way of getting to that answer. There may be more efficient ways.
In 2017, Skyleader was purchased by the Chinese firm Zair Aerospace, which is headquartered in Wuhan. Zair set up a local production line in Hubei to manufacture the Zair JA600 that received Chinese state certification in 2019. The JA600 is a development of the Skyleader 600. [0]

Twitter sucks. My account, which I've had since around 2012, got hacked. Twitter is unwilling to restore it or unlock it. They suck.

So does Tesla. Try getting your Tesla fixed. All the Tesla repair shops suck. All of them.
Given that almost every change under Musk has made for a worse user experience - especially for free users - perhaps it's better to flip your question on its head:

I don't understand the reason for staying on Twitter? Just seems really petty... it's just a social media channel among many.
Type safety is a spectrum, not a binary choice. Having used Go for 10 years now, next to other popular languages like JS and Python, I think it squarely falls into the "more type-safe than not" half of the spectrum. But it's definitely a positive development that, as this discussion shows, the Overton window of type safety is shifting towards the safer part of the spectrum.
I reject that argument because it is a Jewish state, founded in the wake of the holocaust, attacked for being Jewish in the first days of its creation. For better or worse, It is inseparable. In fact, if you go to Palestine, they do not speak of "Israelis" but of "Jews". Spilling Jewish blood, killing Jews, a curse upon the Jews, etc. You see this with hate crime on synagogues and Jewish homes, Jewish individuals, business world wide a response to what happened in Israel and Palastine.

If your enemies do not make such a distinction, then why should you? It only obscures and confuses what is pretty clear.
The incentive landscapes differ.

Science (done properly) is knowledgeable, skeptical experts trading written documents that only they can fully understand, and making it their career to understand and critique everything.

Politics (done the only way we know how, democracy) is knowledgeable experts playing an idiotic reality TV game for an audience of millions of viewers who will spend about 5 seconds of thought on it, relying heavily on charisma, reputation, and sound bites of spoken word, so that the world is not captured by even worse experts.

My hot take: We could take the lizard-brain stuff out of both politics and advertising if we didn't have live debates, didn't show faces or allow voices. It's harmful to voters who are not literate, and nobody would actually support this, but I think keeping "system 1 thinking" away from the fate of the free world might be helpful.

For instance, I think gasoline should cost more. System 1 says that can never happen, it's political suicide. To justify carbon taxes takes more attention than voters can afford. And the reasonable critiques would not be "fuck you I want cheap gas" but "why save the environment if our superpower rivals aren't going to help?"
Yep. Seems like OP saw "roundup" in the title and thought it was related to roundup the product.

As someone in this space, I highly recommend you start engaging with your potential customers and building trust ASAP. It took us a lot longer than 5 years to gain enough trust to convince our customers over to our core banking platform - despite their existing platforms being fraught with bugs, limitations and insecurities.
Sorry, but people need to find other places to communicate and promote, because this isn't going to get any better.

Twitter was dead the moment Elon took it over. It's his toy, doing whatever he wants. Even if you pressure him, he'll reverse the throttling for a moment, act dumb as if it never happened, and then screw it again in some way. You can't win with Elon on Elon's turf.
Certs just aren't that important anymore, but if anything, I'd do the AWS cert.

It's the very definition of sophomoric. A lot of half-baked intellectualism from someone who doesn't actually understand (or pretends not to) any of the actual principles. Surely any Econ 101 student could tell you that Economics isn't the study of capital markets. Things like a clean environment, a vote or personal safety follows the laws of scarcity economics. Addressing the environmental costs of industrialization is absolutely part and parcel of free market economics and the agitators for a clean environment are just trying to get those costs priced in. Declaring them as being opposed to growth because they oppose technological advancement is facile at best and a deliberate straw man at worst.
Yes, it will kill most things. Not great in the fields that need to grow grass for the horses to eat but works on most other things. I also use a propane torch mini flamethrower which is most fun on the Henbane. My disclaimer should I post incoherent comments at times...
In the Texas case, they make no property taxes.
It totally makes sense to me; nothing about it seems "immoral" like you've posed. Our country produces revenue far in excess of meaningful compensation for executives, business owners and shareholders. The only logical, nay moral way for the nation to survive is by imposing a more progressive tax structure to support a growing class of impoverished citizens. That's what postcapitalist economics looks like, sorry to disappoint.

UBI is a logical way to redistribute that excess, but it would require a frank reimagining of certain internal markets. It will also inevitably piss off the people who would stand to gain from exploiting those gaps, but that's just tough luck for them. If someone can sort that out reasonably, I'd support it too.

I thought this was a joke, but then he puts it right in his profile:

> PLEASE READ PROFILE. While some people use LinkedIn for "networking" and advertising their "personal brand," I use this site exclusively as a dating platform. If you are intelligent, attractive, female, in or visiting San Diego, and perhaps a bit out of the norm, I might be interested. Send me a message and invite me out for a drink! (and please make it clear you are asking me on a date) All non-dating related messages will be ignored.

But at the same time seems like it is a failed platform for him too:

> UPDATE. LinkedIn is too full of faux career climbers and not enough dating opportunity. Follow me on Instagram @georgehotz
It's not like Intel hasn't been there before, though.
There's one thing LinkedIn gets very right about job searches: remembering if I've indicated that I'm not interested in a particular job posting.

That massively improves the signal-to-noise ratio over e.g. Google, who's daily updates show me mostly the same jobs from one day to the next.

Yes, the stratosphere has some tough environmental challenges like these low temperatures. To retain enough battery capacity, heating elements are required. The same is true for other onboard electronics.

Interestingly, because the stratosphere’s air is so thin, heat generated by the aircraft isn’t lost as fast to the surrounding air as at sea-level.

As mentioned by th0mas88, humidity is pretty low and icing typically doesn’t occur at these altitudes.

I can't help but make a wry observation that they are objectively VC-funded, but that by saying they aren't a "classic VC-funded growth trajectory" you're doing a No-True-Scotsman-style "not a true venture funded company" argument, and that they are literally a True Ventures funded company..

(Seriously though, I see your point and am not trying to bicker about this; I just think it's a funny situation)
The US spends high amounts on everything from infrastructure to healthcare to education to anti-poverty.

The gaslighting that we don’t spend enough comes from the corrupt groups looting the public to deliver stupendously bad results.

Most people opposed to government spending oppose that corruption and theft, not the underlying project. Eg, rail projects that are ridiculously expensive by international standards.
Yeah, while that is technically true [0], the difference of being gay in Israel vs gay in Palestine seem to be more about, you know, a life and death situation [1]:
