> It basically encourages people to go into debt to build a history of paying it back in time.

How do you propose a third party can establish your ability AND desire to pay back a loan, i.e., determine how much risk there is in lending to you?

> As such there is no such thing as a good or bad rating, only what you can and cannot afford.

This is a completely naive line of thinking. Maybe you CAN afford a loan, but WILL you pay it back? Ah, you might say, the bank will remember that and refuse to loan you money next time. Congratulations, you've invented a system of credit worthiness.
It may not be a durable paint ready for most if any practical applications, but you can in fact try it yourself.

Show HN: Quick (1 sec) neural network builder with architecture search
This project grew out of my frustrations with wanting to experiment with NNs, while a) not knowing which architectures to use, and b) waiting forever for training to finish using standard algorithms.

Both tools here are for tabular numeric data. The quick way to try them out is to check the example button and hit Submit, but feel free to upload your own training data (100 kb limit). Apologies for the inconsistent page design - I will work on that this week.

If anyone has ideas for applications or plugins I should write, I’d love to hear them!

Regarding the linked page about containers: a major gripe of mine is when people make content which includes "don't do this part in production!" - but then never bother to explain what the production equivalent is. If it's out of scope for your guide then fine, but at least provide some keywords and links.
I had a Facebook account until recently and so knew what people I was childhood friends became, sort of. The ones who were successful seemed to not really use it so you didn't really see what they were up to one way or the other, but peoples whose life didn't really work out seemed to spend a lot of time advertising that fact there.

In this context, it would break a crap ton of Go modules, though. That’s the point, and git decentralization has nothing to do with it, unfortunately.

Thank you for the recommendation. I worry about developing a dependency to ketamine, but in NY state where I live, it is legal for therapeutic purposes. I might consider it. I prefer microdoses of psilocybin, since I have a bias towards plant medicine, and I know exactly where the fungus came from :)

And just a funny note re: dancing -- part of my healing journey has been through ecstatic dance. It is a completely sober practice of dancing intuitively and freely with others. While I love ecstatic dance and can easily dance with no fear or anxiety, even in non-ecstatic spaces, I cannot actually speak to strangers or express my desire to become friends with someone.

It's easier for me to dance with complete strangers than it is to converse with them :) One of my most recent social struggles has been the discrepancy between intensely beautiful and intimate bonds formed with people while practicing ecstatic dance, and then finding myself completely unable bond with them via conversation after the dance is over.

I sometimes wish I lived in a world where no one knew my language and it was ok to have a partnership that relied only on body language. Relying on speech to bond with others has failed me for decades and I don't understand why.
You are very welcome. Had you looked at many founding resources for OSS projects?
Yeah and the arial imagery is ancient, like many years old, even in popularly viewed areas like NYC. Even Microsoft forgot about this product.
Nitpick, but GDP is more like revenue, not total value. So it doesn't really ever make sense to compare net worth, market cap etc to GDP.

It was creating for the purpose of tracking an individual's account by the Social Security Administration. It later became a de facto identifier and, even worse, is many times abused as a form of authentication, but it was never designed to be either.

As a result, we have processes that ask for or require a social security number that aren't even related to the purpose for which it was created: Health care, loans, debt collection.

Notably, some citizens of certain religious sects, like the Amish, do not have social security numbers.
Thank you, and I'm sorry about that. I did a talk recently at OSFC which is less vague, but still all over the place. Here's a link to the slides and video.

Well, you can't really increase demand in a way that's good either. We're seeing that. But the only way to fix the Ponzi Scheme is...more Ponzi Scheme?

40 year mortgages? 50 year mortgages? The promise that these make homes more affordable is a lie.

The root problem is, "leadership" (i.e., politicians and financial institutions) have sold people the idea that a home is an investment first, and a place to live second. When you buy into this paradigm - and *many* have - then the system is all but obligated to act in ways to drive up prices. If we *really* want "affordable housing", we're not going to get that from the current lie. What part of this insanity don't people understand?

I used to have a pair of vintage Space Invaders sneakers that I ordered from the artist's web site that left footprints of Space Invaders with "01 POINT" for each footstep.

Damn, they're now going for €950,00 a pair in their original box, but I scored enough points by invading Amsterdam and Paris, sneaking around hunting for Space Invaders mosaics with them, that it was totally worth it!

>It's hard to find anyone who hasn't ever played and appreciated the game Space Invaders before. Some kooky French guy loved the game so much he started spreading his fascination by finding ways to invade the world, city by city, with the little aliens. He has already invaded Paris, and has frighteningly good maps for all the other invasions he plans. He travels around putting up small mosaics of the old-school space alien logo. He's already tagged six of the nine letters of the infamous Hollywood sign in LA, although he wouldn't consider what he does graffiti. He designed this shoe as a small part of his invasion. On the sole of each shoe are an alien and the words "01 point" in relief so that every time you walk on wet cement, sand, or whatever you leave your invasion mark! Each shoebox is signed, and only 1500 were produced. --Josh Spear

The first time I invaded Paris (before I got the sneakers), I walked from the train station and almost immediately saw my first Space Invader on the side of a building!

Then I walked around some more, and checked into the first cheap hotel I could find near the train station, dumped my luggage, and went out for an exploratory walk looking for more, without bothering to remember which hotel I'd checked into, or write down the address...

It turned into a VERY LONG epic meandering wander all around the city, discovering many Space Invaders and other interesting sights along the way, and I finally went back to the train station and attempted to retrace my steps to the first cheap hotel I could find again.

Many hours and kilometers and much exercise and lots of space invaders later, I was relieved to finally find my cheap hotel again. But it was a wonderful experience, that kept me looking up at the architecture, trying to find my cheap hotel again while taking photos of all the Space Invaders I encountered, instead looking at my feet or my phone like a tourist.

You can identify with a side without being one of them. I am neither, nor from the ME. There is no reasonable justification to use weapons that can kill so many so indiscriminately. By anyone. So yes, advocating for their use may be characterised by some as evil.

My experience with Fedora ended quickly, after installing it in the VBox, just like any other distro I've used, it was glitching terribly. Every second letter of any text had been invisible and the whole DE was blinking at a rate of the mouse move speed. After showing this to the reddit Linux community I was told that I'm holding it wrong and shouldn't be using Fedora+VBox, and that I had a driver issue (duh, thanks Sherlock). Went back to Ubuntu and Xubuntu. Sure, they have snaps and some other weird decisions, but at least they work much more stable.

My point being that you seem to be suggesting, in parent and sibling comments, that there are manifest and myriad configuration options provided by KDE AND that you feel you must use them.

You contrast this to Gnome, where there are NOT comparable configuration options, and you are 'happy with minor issues'.

I don't see how this is materially different from simply choosing to not use the extensive KDE configuration capabilities and being as 'happy with minor issues' as you would be with Gnome.

I believe it is a reference to the infamous Star Trek project. I did not know of the Digital Research connection, but it sounds like it was another one of those collaborations.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_project

The funny thing is, the industry knew that collaboration would be necessary back then, but it took open source models for it to become effective. (I guess direct business to business agreements made competitors to dependent upon each other.)
You also decrease demand by making mortgages less easy to get. Again, look what cheap and easy loans did to the cost of higher edu.

The market was manipulated and it responded in kind. The current system is leading to sociopolitical situations that are also undesirable. And yet our only answer is, "Thank you sirs and madames, can we have another?" That's not sustainable.

p.s. Prices can also be lowered by building smaller homes. The problem there is, the larger the home the more furnishings, etc. Larger homes help increase consumption which is good for the status quo.

it is extremely complicated when it shouldn't be. maybe someday someone will make a saas to solve this problem once & forever.

i've wrote custom code for it that i'll share maybe 1 day but not yet.

what i did was use markdown with node.js & wrote a script that all chapters are read from it.

it looks like this:

_book/
chapter1/
pic1.jpg
index.md
chapter2/
.
.
.
chapter100/

and then it uses princexml with 100 loc of css to output a beautiful pdf.

this should definitely be a saas though. it has massive potential.

I'm guessing the reason the model is listed as "preview" is so that they have this leeway to tweak it and optimize it as needed, for example in terms of the balance between performance/cost and capability which seems to be the case here.

I reiterate my recommendation of Fairlie's book, which goes into much more detail than George Monbiot's brief article where he responds to same in the Guardian some 13 years ago.

I note in that article, however:

"If we stopped feeding edible grain to animals, we could still produce around half the current global meat supply with no loss to human nutrition: in fact it's a significant net gain."

I guess 'half the current global meat supply' probably is 'far less', as you say.

I use it usually 10-20 times per day. 5-10 when I'm not working and like 20-30 when I'm working. It saves me a huge amount of time. It would already make sense at a wage of $20 but I earn more and so it is so much worth it. Even if I earn no wage (say a indie dev working on a game) it would still be useful because I save time which I can invest in other things (or play video games). I'd honestly pay $50-$100 for it as it saves me so much time and gives me so much value.

But they never learn. And this experience didn't teach em. What they get is destroying a business due to random/bad decisions, which is basically what most business majors seem to operate on. Then they get their golden handshake and leave to become a C level at another place where one of their buddies from their fancy business school is already parasiting.

Most of them seem to barely get by by operating on the surface level strategy of "do whatever x creates y money more". When they succeed, it's their good job, when they fail, it's the bad job of everyone under them.

They only look at surface level money, they'll take surface level "we can make 35% more if we do x" rather than the deeper and more considered "we can make 25% more if we do x but limited by y for z reasons because x has a negative impact on customers but mitigated by y, costing 10% but guaranteeing the 25 via happy customers and stable systems".
Surveillance Capitalism is a very different beast. "The Age of Surveillance Capitalism" isn't just a great book, it might was well a dystopian novel. If you read it your "don't care" won't last long.

I wonder how many people here would agree with your claim "it is a dangerous substance when used without medical supervision". Often in hacker circles soft drugs are viewed as something people can take on their own provided that, as you suggest, purity is guaranteed. And while setting and trusted and savvy companionship is important, the involvement of a medical professional may kill the whole freespirited vibe.

Juries ultimately have the final say in conviction. Its well within their right to go not guilty for any reason.

Given that contagion to African and South American countries came from Western Europe, at a stage when China already had gained control over the Virus inside its borders, it's not clear that “nothing could have prevented the pandemic”.

It's obviously something that governments who failed to act want you to believe, but it's not definitive truth. Maybe the uncontrolled situation in Iran would have been enough for the pandemic to happen, but travel from Iran is also much less important (in volume and economic consequences) than travel from the US, France or UK, so there's no certitude here.

And again, late lockdown did save lives, but with huge economic cost whereas early lockdowns saved many more lives with only a fraction of the economic cost, people who delayed the lockdown bear the entire responsibility of the additional deaths and economic disaster.
