Fully agree, and hello from another dad here. There's no more stuff like Paps, Mumbo Jumbo, Double Dragon, Reefer Decree, Ticon, etc, and even the legendary Son Kite and Beat Bizzarre are not the same they've used to be in the heydays of the genre. I think the apogee was in the early 2000s, the early releases of Iboga Records.

I've switched to the [dub] techno scene a few years ago, and it looks like there's much more psychedelia and overall creative stuff going on over there now. Azu Tiwaline, Al Wootton, Deadbeat, Claudio PRC, Ntogn, Luigi Tozzi, Feral, and so on. Party goes on!
Can you cite this? I thought you just have to file if you make over a certain amount, or you have a setup that requires filing (e.g. you rent part of your house out, or you're a sole trader).
There seems to be some variance in systems. I //really// don't like the ones at my local WM. It disables the scanner until the bagging scale stabalizes, and you can't enter quantities. It basically speed-limits you to about 1 item every 2 seconds.

The ones at the Target, don't lock out the scanner unless you scan something that is marked as having a security tag, and the degausser hasn't fired.

Our local CVS has some, and they're fine, but anyone that can't use them (low vision, paying with cash (sometimess), or buying things that require ID) have to chase down the one or two roving employees in the store, which would be super annoying if you had to do it often.

Personally, I tend to use SC when I have <5 items. Even on the "nice" systems, there's no way I can outpace someone who does this all day, has helpful tech (conveyor belts, a bagger (even if it's me), ability to enter quantity, can enter PLUs, doesn't have to deal with the system locking out the scanner whenever it feels like it).
> You know how this process actually goes by now: You still have to wait in line. The checkout kiosks bleat and flash when you fail to set a purchase down in the right spot. Scanning those items is sometimes a crapshoot—wave a barcode too vigorously in front of an uncooperative machine, and suddenly you’ve scanned it two or three times. Then you need to locate the usually lone employee charged with supervising all of the finicky kiosks, who will radiate exasperation at you while scanning her ID badge and tapping the kiosk’s touch screen from pure muscle memory. If you want to buy something that even might carry some kind of arbitrary purchase restriction—not just obvious things such as alcohol, but also products as seemingly innocuous as a generic antihistamine—well, maybe don’t do that.

Sounds like most of those issues are self-inflicted by cheaping out on all the hardware. Reliable scales, scanners, etc. aren't hard to figure out, if you bother paying enough for it.

In the half-decade or we've had self-checkouts in Austria, they've been mostly reliable – I've only ever had real trouble in the first six months of their deployment (teething issues), and in the first half of 2023, when producers were shrinkflating their packagings so often that the inventory databases couldn't keep up and scales were regularly expecting the wrong values. That seems to have quieted down again too, thankfully.
Promoting locally available building materials for building houses is very different than saying one shouldn't incur any debt when building a home.
If the "glue" you're referring to is what I think I've seen, it's still much thicker and filling than what you can see in the video below (where you can still see light through the gaps)

I would have more to say about a lot of these things, but I have no time today but also don't want to leave the thread stale too long, so just a few points.

> This is heartbreaking and I'd love to talk... Permission to reach out via email?

Absolutely. I think this might be visible through my GH profile followed-from my HN profile? Unsure.

> When you invert control/ownership, the user controls their data. The application is delegated access to it. This is a peer-to-peer data structure.

I feel like this is probably an orthogonal question to where the data/system physically lives. It's possible to give logistical / social control over one's data without going to a fully distributed p2p transport/data model.

> Then we use a capability system to delegate rights

This is good. Also a path I'm pursuing.

> Intimacy, to me, means letting users decide how they want to model their social interactions.

> Moderation, to me, means deciding what the user gets to see.

I have thoughts on this but can't get into it in depth right now. Suffice it to say I am getting a bit of an impression that you are trying -- like an engineer would -- to solve social problems with technical ones.

There is no magic bullet for these issues that becomes solved through a P2P (or federative, etc.) model.

And my chief concern is actually with the content model / style itself that "social networks" and actually the web itself promulgated. It is asynchronous, "post" oriented, like a mailbox. It is not interactive or real time (apart from messaging), and it is consumptive rather than creative/interactive. I feel like from your comments you are leaving that unchallenged. Or hoping that by giving people control that this will just change. I don't think it will, I think people need to be given better environments and tools.

> You solve intimacy and moderation by allowing communities to form and moderate themselves.

Agree on this, but I also don't think the solution here is technical. P2P (or federation or whatever) may assist, but in the end these are social problems, and problems of scale.

What I perceive as the more resilient social model is a kind of village focus. So what I'm concerned with is two things: 1) how to give people the tools for social/community content construction. So to go beyond the style of magazine-page/leaflet/post/article/shared-link model that the web encouraged and to something that's more about building shared environments. 2) how to let people do that in a more "village" fashion, where, yes, they can moderate themselves; because I believe actually the wide-open mass scale of things like Twitter and/or Facebook etc actually do not really scale.

In any case, interesting discussion.
"We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it" is unfriendly diplomacy from the perspective of small countries not allied to the US.
I never have a problem with self checkout here in the UK, mainly using Tesco for grocery shopping. It just works, and I appreciate the convenience.

I've recently started using their service where you scan items with a portable scanner as you go around the shop, and bag them immediately. Checkout is even quicker because everything is already in my bags, and I can see a running total of how much I'm spending. Again, it just works.

What doesn't work is product location discovery. I get that they want me to wander around looking for the coffee or whatever that theyve relocated yet again, because they think I'll make more impulse purchases, but it still frustrates me.
Which gallon? There are two different ones (and for even more fun Canada and us don’t use the same)
Seems true in America. I rarely choose self checkout, for the reasons listed.

However I spent 3 years in London and self checkout dominates. The Sainsburys by my house had ~40 self checkout kiosks and only about 6 regular checkout lanes. I only used the checkout lane one time in multiple years (same at Waitrose and Tesco).

There are a few things that made it better:

1) Produce in these stores is rarely sold by weight. It’s more common to get produce in packaged quantities with a bar code. Much easier to scan. And generally the tech seems to just work, it rarely complained that I had missed an item when I hadn’t.

2) Fewer item purchase restrictions. Even alcohol was allowed at self checkout but you did have to flag someone down for that.

3) People do smaller shopping trips. Each person at an urban market in London is likely buying a basket of goods, not a whole cart. That makes the entire process much more streamlined and space efficient.
I operate a service a with an option that charges $1/month. We end up netting about 42 cents per subscription, but really the exercise is more about making the service available to people who might not otherwise be able to afford it than it is about a cash grab.
That might have some relevance were you 'relaxing' who I was replying to.

Do you have a definition of what makes a country yet?

This question of oldest country that you've laid claim to does rather rest on something that works about the globe so that we can compare.

The "definition" (as such) provided by 'relaxing' fails England as England has been claimed by a Scottish King to be his realm.

I'm with you though, I reject that definition.
True. A focus on accessibility typically has positive benefits for far more people than are being specifically targeted with the changes.
At some point the supervisor has no supervisor. I'm curious how you'd want that implemented.

I simply say that because I dislike the establishment, and the majority of the establishment comprises currently of that age range. No insult meant to you.
If it is internally determined, then an objective measure cannot be known to exist. That's the contention I have with the author's thesis, as the author is assuming external/objective authenticity. As an example, consider Hannibal Lecter: Certainly authentic to his self-determined values, yet not compatible with the author's view of authenticity, and would be considered a "bad person" by the rest of humanity.
I once told my partner that there was a musician he listened to that really relished putting women down. He thought I was talking about one song, but I didn't remember enough to give details. A few weeks later, he comes back - "It's not just one song!"

He never noticed until he had the right frame of reference. It was easy to gloss over each individual instance because the songs weren't referring to him. He experienced an entirely different reality based on his perspective of existence.

There are ugly patterns in Feynman's writings about women. Not everyone has the luxury of ignoring these patterns as they read his work.
I think you're right; it's more he disdains his own station vs being a "real" practicing psychiatrist working with patients over a number of years like his brother. But he also loves his callers, and deeply values when he can help them.
Until you put all of Sweden (and the people they want to talk to, like Estonia) in space, that data's going to have to come down at some point. Fast inter-satellite data doesn't help you if it has to queue to get in/out of space.
They sure had a tremendous furniture budget! I guess the wardroom department was jealous!
Good point. Now that you mention it, I can't think of any virologists that were claiming it was a two shots and done disease.

It's more likely that people misinterpreted "after two shots quarantine is no longer necessary" as "the disease is eradicated after two shots."
My local ICA Maxi has three sizes of carts. The largest ones are basically the same size as the ones I've seen in the US. It differs greatly from store to store as well. The central down town ICA that doesn't have a parking lot only has the smallest carts. The massive ICA in the outskirts of town that can basically only be reached by car tends to have the big carts

They're called 14900, 14700, etc. But truly, they're just 13th Gen processors with slightly different names.

The 14700 actually got some new E cores, which actually makes a difference (12 vs the old 8, making a total of 28 instead of 24 cores).

But the 14600 and 14900 are exactly identical to their predecessors, at a higher price.

The only major difference so far is that these chips by default don't have the typical power limit set, so they can actually achieve about +2-3% more performance in gaming at +100% more power draw.

GN famously called the 11700K a "waste of perfectly fine sand", but that description fits the 14600 and 14900 even better.

They're merely rebranded Intel Core 13th Gen chips, with a performance difference around 1% at the same clock frequency. Reviewers found their CPUIDs report the same model and even stepping. Some rumors previously claimed possible minor improvements to the on-die memory controller or voltage regulation, but both turned out to be false. The only differences are slightly increased clock frequencies, and also slightly increased L2 and L3 cache sizes in some lower-end SKUs (that were already physically present on the silicon but previously fused off in cheaper models). Thus, think of them as some new SKUs in the 13th Gen product line with slightly higher specs at the same MSRP (but may or may not be cheaper at retail prices).

Apparently the reason is that Intel was experiencing production difficulties on Meteor Lake, so this new generation is skipped for desktops in favor of an exclusive launch for mobile (and HTPC desktops) platforms. Wait until December 14th, 2023 for the real new CPUs.
You'd cause an armed revolution here trying that, lol. People already get grumpy at Costco when they want to briefly see your receipt.

Yeah I never claimed such a thing is a viable business model. Esp in competition with free (but not actually) mass scale Twitter, FB, etc.

I think you'd have to offer something entirely different that is not in "competition" in any way by not being "alike" at all, but still filling some similar needs.

I personally have never enjoyed Twitter or the kind of service it offered, so would never consider paying for anything which looked like it really. Though I guess I do donate to the Mastodon instance I have an account on, but that's more of a philosophical thing than anything to do with subscribing to a service. I barely use it.
the state and local level can call them whatever they want, which is why a lot of older, eastern states in the US have definitions for things like hamlets. the Dillon Rule lets the states define that however they want, and the FedGov ain't setting local HOA rules.
This was done by Paul Graham himself in this forum's early days.

At that time reddit was rising. PG didn't want to turn this forum one into another Reddit. To discourage posts with body he grayed out the body text. And then within the next few weeks he grayed out the texts gradually even more. Until it reached the point that you see now.

Encouragement was to post interesting links and blogs. But not turn this one into a general discussion forum.

That was may be in the late 2000s. As far as I can recall.
Once again: I have called for investigating the influence of fascist ideas on this manifesto because the manifesto itself names one of the architects of it a saint. It doesn't matter at all who wrote this, we are only looking at the manifesto.

On another hand, trying to paint futurism and fascism as completely separate falls flat because already the Futurist Manifesto contained some ideas from fascism and besides Marinetti, Carlo Carrà and many more also became an ardest supporter of fascism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fortunato_Depero notes

> In the 1930s and 40s Depero continued working, although due to futurism being linked with fascism, the movement started to wane

In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Futurism

> Many Italian Futurists supported Fascism [...] The Futurists' association with Fascism after its triumph in 1922 brought them official acceptance in Italy

It's not like I am trying to mash the two together only now, no, they were already together back then.
But then this is also valid if the zero is at 21°C. There is also nothing special at 0°F, it’s just the colour scale that makes it look like that. And if we based the scale on human perception we’d have to define many other parameters besides wind and humidity, like body shape and metabolism rate. It’s more of an argument against basing a temperature scale on human perception (and then I agree completely, which is why I find the centigrade scale much better, except for serious business that demands kelvins).

So this line needs a lot of context due to the nature of academia. It's best not to read much into it. What ends up happening is that you do some research, type it all up into a paper and then your advisor makes you add something to connect your results to the "real world." And because it's a study on virology not economics the author will just speculate on some stuff that'll later be used for marketing fodder or grant writing to say the university is working on important things. Which they are, but important work doesn't sell. Important work that laypeople recognize as important sells. And when you want government money connecting it to jobs -- ooo boy.

Article is behind a paywall, so apologies for commenting on the title alone.

Even if self-checkout as it is implemented today doesn't work [1], that's not a reason to declare it a failed experiment. It's a reason to improve the technology. The only thing stopping us from having universal self-checkout is lack of quality in the hardware and software.

There is a separate conversation about what impact self-checkout has on jobs and food prices. It's an empirical question what the ratio of automated to human checkout should be in order to maximize throughput. Maximizing throughput means lower food prices for everyone. However, if it happens that maximizing throughput means letting go of tens of thousands of human workers, then that also has an impact on the economy. This is why we should have a robust social safety net in wealthy societies.

[1] I don't actually think this is the case. I use self-checkout multiple times per week at the grocery store, and I almost never have an issue. Maybe 1 in 10 visits I'll need assistance from staff, which takes less than a minute.
I am a bit surprised that this has to be elaborated here (as stories like the following are posted here fairly often), but here you go:

- he allows hate speech to proliferate on twitter [2]

- he regularly shares conspiracy theories that are common in right wing circles, eg. casted doubt on the fact that the shooter of Allen, Texas was a white nationalist (even though he literally had swastikas tattooed) [3]

This is 100% pure speculation, but I wonder if, at the time that the bylaw was made, a straw bale was the happy medium of being relatively soft (in case someone passing under the bridge ran into it) but also relatively cheap.
I've only run Windows (and not XP) on this a couple times so I can't comment on that much.

I have run x86 Win10 on UTM on an M2 Mac and didn't have performance issues but in fairness I didn't actually do much with it - mostly accessing thumb drives formatted with NTFS.

I do regularly run arm64 Linux on it though, and it's been quite stellar for that use case.

There's a decent chance that the author of the incorrect headline did exactly that.

But your number 1 still makes absolutely 0 sense with this particular conspiracy theory, which premises that the goal is to get people to resign by having multiple rounds of layoffs.

That is, the conspiracy theory presupposes that the company is already going to have lots of layoffs. So you're saying it's arguing that companies want to avoid the negative consequences of layoffs - by having a lot of layoffs???

The whole idea is nonsense.

Building glue is not magical and it's widely used, at least in western Europe. Glue is rapidly replacing mortar (just not for foundation and facade stone). Also, it dries a lot quicker than 45 minutes. A builder doesn't have to wait at all to add additional layers. And at the end of the workday, you just drop you glue gun, no need for lengthy cleanup of everything used to make mortar.
