The Tacoma Off Road Crawl Control is somewhat similar but uses ABS to prevent slips. It does come with a rear locker though.
It's more complicated. Companies have no access to senior software engineers, so companies can't handle complex/large projects, so management doesn't get the experience to derive more value from the engineering work, so the company can't afford senior software engineers (a feedback loop). In this environment junior engineers become senior only by the length of tenure, not by the experience of handling more complexity.

I immigrated to Germany from Israel (and to Israel from Ukraine), so my University friends are all over the world, but not in Germany.
I'm not really seeing any argument in the article that this is causation vs. correlation. I know there have been studies done on this, but even anecdotally, from the people I am aware of via Facebook, friends of friends, etc., the ones that are married or even just stable in their careers and life in general are all childless minus a few, whereas the ones that have had more turbulent lives have much higher rates of having children.

My reading of the situation is that if you are born into a disadvantaged household, you are going to struggle to get ahead because of how the system works. I don't think marriage is going to suddenly solve that or make a significant impact - the people I know where the father isn't in the picture, their situation wouldn't be any better if he was, and for some, the situation would be worse.

I suppose the book might do more to prove out a causal link but the reasoning in the article doesn't inspire enough confidence for me to chance investing the time reading it.
It's quite apparent he uses everything, including bad news, as leverage to propagate his pet ideas and mask inconvenient moments under a mountain of chaotic behavior. It's so unbelievable to me. Very Trumpian. As in: it's consistent, it's shameless, and also it's so clumsy that it's obvious, but also in our state of society... it keeps working.
Another one from that era was something like: "how to destroy the Earth". There were several methods proposed, one of which was to use a black hole: "step1: take a reasonably sized black hole, step2..." etc.
I'm not advocating any specific high-end wealth tax rate, but I think at the moment they are very low. I think it would be interesting and relevant to future policy making to have historical data about which such tax rates have worked in the past. Wealth inequality is currently a huge problem in the world, and as far as I can see any kind of arguments against tackling it such as 'we'll miss out on innovation' are capitalist propaganda. This is why it would be good to have accurate historical data to respond to these kind of arguments.

I've reread my post that you responded to and when OP says 'tax rates are meaningless signaling to low income voters because no one pays these rates', my response is 'taxes should be better enforced so that people do indeed pay the stated rates'.
At the start of the article my assumption was that the reason to do this was to save power.

After all, the big glass front is not very thermally efficient. Regular fridges like you have at home have much more insulated doors.

But then we find out that not only is there still glass behind the screen, but also the screen itself is very hot and therefore consumes a lot of power.

This looks interesting!

A tool in the same vein that I already use is pyp (`pypyp` on PyPI). This project, pypipe, has built-in record splitting and CSV support that pyp doesn't. CSV is lower-friction. pyp automatically determines what modules to import. It is very convenient and would be nice to have here. A version of `pypprint` (https://github.com/hauntsaninja/pyp/blob/9408446a41bfdc60e44...) may be useful, too.

The most famous Python command-line tool like this is probably Mario (https://github.com/python-mario/mario), which isn't maintained. pyp's readme compares Mario and some other alternatives: https://github.com/hauntsaninja/pyp/blob/9408446a41bfdc60e44.... pypipe is different from most for also having a feature like `--explain` in pyp (code generation).
not really. Chinese government was regulating specific behaviors of companies, all are legit concerns, not against the companies themselves. Example: companies fighting each other using monopolistic tactics that doesn't bring benefit for anyone (Tencent music locking exclusive rights, Taobao forcing sellers for exclusivity, Taobao can only use Alipay). Online lending coupled with financial instruments (Alipay giving out loans to anyone without credit checks and using asset-backed security scheme to massively increase amount they can lend out (ABS is cause of US 08 financial crisis, controlling this in 2020 might have avoided a systematic crash this year due to housing problems).

All other activities are fine, and specific areas basically are real tech are very much supported, eg, semi, semi equipment, chip design, EDA, etc. Chinese gov are saying instead of thousands of smartest phds trying to figure out how to play financial games, get them to build the lithography machine, cuz the latter creates real economic value.

This article even misses that Hamas is using a lot of Iranian Fajr-3 rockets, and published that (and then removed it when Iran made it clear they absolutely did not want that published).

Besides, both sides agree on one thing: that this was a misfire. If rockets fail, start to rotate, dump their fuel and then ignite it (all it takes is a spark, and I don't believe there's a single instance where a rocket dumped it's fuel and didn't ignite it, even with hobby rockets) it would produce exactly the sort of blast that was reported. This would, of course, require that the rocket still has fuel, and is reasonably close to the point it was launched from.

This all matches what Israel and WSJ claim.

And if you're going to go for conspiracy theories ... one might mention that Hamas had (and has) easy access to the grounds, where they could easily have collected debree from the rocket and shown it to the world. Reports say they have collected that debree ... and ahem "for some reason" they have obviously decided not to show it.

We all know how this is going to go. In a year's time, people will come on the ground, collect debree that Hamas has missed (there should be plenty, even if they tried to clean it up), and conclude that it was in fact Hamas.
But keep in mind:

"His book 1421: The Year China Discovered the World, is a work of sheer fiction presented as revisionist history. Not a single document or artifact has been found to support his new claims on the supposed Ming naval expeditions beyond Africa."

This perfectly summarizes what I've been saying. Popular tools are not the most effective ones.
The people who are leading our current tech monoculture are not qualified to be making such decisions and imposing them on such large numbers of people. The artificiality of our current tech culture is obvious. It doesn't feel organic, not free market.
The most scary thing is that they are living in an echo chamber. The world around us is becoming more dangerous at an unprecented pace, conversations that were wrongly pushed to the dinner table are starting to come out in full view.

The HN community will be in shock when it finally hits on them that they too will be affected by what is happening across the ocean. The belief of unlimited superiority is blinding the fact that other people are now more willing to do harm than previously imagined.

The World at War is fantastic, but it wasn’t made by the BBC. Rather it was made by one of the companies, Thames Television, that owned one of the UK’s commercial franchises in the 1970s and broadcast across the ITV commercial network.

It’s worth sampling if only for Laurence Olivier’s narration.

There is a similar BBC made series about WW1 which is almost equally good called The Great War

(Emphasis mine)

The thread is discussing the general sentiment on HN regarding passkeys (based on previous discussions), not the sentiment of the linked article.
Yes, however, it's best suited for the complex parts (logic that needs a lot of inputs and few outputs) due to the fact that the eeproms it generates data for are arranged as 8 bit output.

It might also be somewhat slow compared to discrete gates, the AT27C512 I'm using is rated at 45ns access time, while a normal DIP gate is usually around 5.

That said, 45 ns, means it should function up to about 20 mhz if I'm not totally wrong (which I've been known to be before).

I made this because I need some logic for my DEC J-11 CPU and to keep it period-ish-correct didn't want to bring in an fpga, I'll use it for power-up settings and controlling memory bus access. I could have used a PLA or GAL, but I don't have any and I have about a kilogram of the beautiful old quartz window EEPROMs :)

Back wheels spinning in water create weak driving force forward.

Front wheels can turn and provide rudimentary front rudder effect wrt force from rear wheels pushing forward.

If 4xwheel drive was engaged the front wheels wouls also be driven and provide a "clawing forwards" directional force.

It's not the ideal boat, but it floats and works up to a point (as seen).

With the engine weight forward it's entirely possible the front wheels were occassionally touching down when over the pan of the crossing.

When the vehichle went to the left of the crossing it's unlikely the front wheels had any contact as the crossing (unflooded) is typically higher than the river bed on either side.

"Why would it matter?". There are many historical and current day examples of the problems in societies with very high wealth inequality.

I don't want to live in a dystopia with _untouchable_ hyper wealth individuals so I believe that governments should make it very hard to stay a billionaire and virtually impossible for people to inherit that level of generational wealth from their family.

I am very keen for levels of taxation (and the closing of all the loopholes) that would force billionaires to liquidate significant percentages of their assets to pay taxes as I think it will encourage them to work a bit harder. After all if they managed to become a billionaire once they must be very clever, right?
True. There is some unnecessary next.js clutter in there, which I'll address on my next post. Removing that would make the HTML leaner. Likewise, removing the inline CSS from the semantic version would make it leaner.

So in your view they're going from cohabiting to marriage to separated/divorced, rather than cohabiting to separated? In that case it seems more likely to me (non-US person) that cultural factors are pushing people towards marriage, rather than purely financial considerations.

> those in positions of power decide the truth can be whatever they
wish were the case

In my lifetime and political growth I first noticed this in the
Bush/Blair era, and to cope with it I made a distinction between power
and authority that still serves me well today.

Any idiot with a gun can take power.

An "authority" must earn its legitimacy.

Most people in political life today understand and seek only power.
They are indifferent to truth because they know legitimacy is on the
back-foot in our time. Legitimate authority was hard won, but too easy
to destroy by any mudslinger or shrill.

Today the gun is unnecessary. Any idiot with control over a DNS
server, and ISP, a corporate or university IT system., or a social
media technology can hold truth to ransom.

The digital world needs to imagine new forms of legitimacy.

> The point would be that a mainstream man in 1750 wanted to be wearing colorful frilly things with high heels, even if he couldn't afford any of it because he was just a servant.

Though, if he was a _senior_ servant, he probably would be wearing some variant of it. There was a tendency for a while for high-ranking domestic servants in large houses to wear what was in effect a _previous version_ of what the upper class wore; AIUI this did indeed lead to a period where the upper class were wearing prototype modern suits while the butler was still wearing colours and frills.

Given the bizarre behavior seen around extremely old politicians, such as the recently deceased Feinstein (D), and the permanent unelected upper legislature of the US Supreme Court, I think the first uploaded forever politician is a bigger threat. But who will pay for their extended life?

(The word for "ageless billionaire" is "corporation")

Note that in the "uploaded politician" case it's not nearly so relevant as to whether the person themselves believes it's the same person, as to whether everyone else believes they're the same person, and whether the upload has legal continuity in their job and position.
Many South Americans seem to have died, unfortunately, from diseases.

"Today we think of the Amazon as a pristine rainforest, sparsely populated by indigenous communities. But in records from the 1500s, Spanish colonizers describe a densely populated region, crisscrossed by canals and sunken roads and dotted with bustling, fortified towns. Unfortunately, fortification couldn’t protect the towns’ inhabitants against European diseases, which devastated South American indigenous populations and left the fortified villages abandoned."
https://arstechnica.com/science/2018/03/network-of-fortified...

"Some 5 million people may have lived in the Amazon region in AD 1500, divided between dense coastal settlements, such as that at Marajó, and inland dwellers. By 1900, the population had fallen to 1 million and by the early 1980s it was less than 200,000."
Definitely, if you just need some nand gates, this is probably the worst way of doing it, where it can be of some use is when you want to describe more complex behavior, where you quickly end up with a mix of tens, hundreds or thousands of gates.
I have some doubts about step 15: I used to work in a post-Soviet lab which produced chips in early 90s and as far as i remember etching happened in a high temperature (was it 1200C ?) environment where you would pass some chlorine type gas over the wafers. The temperature was achieved by induction heating with 8kHz AC passing through water cooled copper coils. The generators were mechanic, big water cooled machines placed in the basement of the building due to the noise they generated. Another reason for placing them in a basement was that water leaks were common. I was responsible for maintaining the heating setup and transitioning to electronic, thyristor based generators. The job was kind of electronic-engineer-plumber type of duty.

Well, you don't have to actually store your wealth where the island state can get to it. Just because you're resident in the Cayman Islands for tax purposes, doesn't mean you need to hold your wealth as Cayman Islands Dollars, or store it in a Cayman Islands bank.

It will depend on what templating framework the websites are using. Server-side rendering frameworks can allow users to write semantic components -- e.g. `<menu-button>` -- that get expanded to HTML markup, which will often be realized as many divs.

This is often necessary to be able to properly style things like select controls or create more complex UI/markup.

Tailwind is useful in this case, or with things like react and vue where the layout can be specified once in the component templates. If hand-writing the classes, the semantic model makes sense as it allows you to remain consistent in what styles get applied.
It's an official Tailwind example…
You make a compelling point about the role of expertise in discussions like these. While firsthand experience is valuable, it's also important to note that thoughtful discussion can be insightful even without it.

For example, in the context of the U.S. mining history, the 1872 Mining Law was originally designed to encourage individual prospectors to explore the West. Although the mining industry has evolved significantly, the law and its legacy still affect land management and resource extraction policies today. While most of us probably aren't mining industry veterans, discussing these policies can lead to a broader understanding that benefits everyone.

While it's hard to say how many small ball operations benefit from these regulations, a lack of opportunist prospectors does not imply there’s a lack of opportunity. It could be argued that it's crucial to preserve this opportunity for future participants even if presently there may be few.

It's worth mentioning that limiting discussions to experts could stifle diversity of thought. Take the legal system: many landmark decisions, from Brown v. Board of Education to Roe v. Wade, were influenced not just by legal experts but also by public opinion and social movements. If discussions were closed off to 'experts,' we might miss out on valuable perspectives that can drive change.

In short, while it's good to acknowledge the limits of our own knowledge and authority to enjoin discussions, it's equally important to remember that these limitations likely apply to everyone, including those attempting to determine who is permitted to participate in conversations.
When every workflow and every bit of data passes through computers (even if, as often in German bureaucracy, just to be printed out and filed) everyone is a programmer. Living in denial and programming ad hoc, non specified, untested, programs in very indirect and flawed ways is much worse then just teaching everyone basics of computing.

Computers are vital and unavoidable technology. Once it was arcane knowledge to read and write, to make calculations. It will be trivial in the future to know the basics of computer science and scripting.
