For what it's worth, I've had a great experience with sauna/cold therapy. You seem well researched on the topic, so im sure you're aware of the plethora of studies correlating reduced inflammatory response and heat/cold therapy, but if you've never given it a shot yourself I'd highly reccomend. I went so far as to build a small sauna for myself, and have found that my energy has increased drastically day to day, and I have had significantly reduced inflammation generally. (GI and dermatitis issues previously.)

The old adage goes: “those who don’t use insurance, pay too much. And those who use insurance, pay too little”.

It becomes a math problem for insurance companies to keep that equation positive. And since claims far exceed the premiums any single member pays, the easiest way to stay positive is to deny claims. Even if that sacrifices losing a few premiums.
What you say is not true in most places.

EV charging won't raise overall power consumption that much, and the majority of tthe EU will stop burning coal around the 2030's. Nuclear isn't much on the table in Europe, especially since new wind developments produce cheaper power than nuclear plants.

Solar works quite well at lower latitudes, but at higher latitudes in Europe it can work as a supplement to hydro in the summer (as there's less water around then), but it won't play any significant role in power production (some 10s of percentage points perhaps).

Biggest challenge for the next few decades is inertia as well as base load when there's low wind over large geographic areas. We need cheaper (and better) grid scale energy storage. A lot of people forget about the cheaper part.
> So you only aped in because you were hoping to get rich without doing any work, and then you fraudulently opened up an account on a shady ass centralized exchange when you knew you couldn't KYC, and got your pretend money stuck, and then when FTX fell over it turns out it was never really there.

> Cryptocurrencies are awesome. Greedy people who can't do research and complain loudly when their "get rich quick" schemes blow up in their face make everyone look bad :-/

Normally I wouldn't acknowledge this, but I find your assumptions and accusations about me quite rude, for someone who has been on HN for at least 12 years you should know the rules. I simply stated the timeline of events as is, because there is no denying the connection between Signal and FTX through mobilecoin, and I only spent what I could afford to lose, I was well aware of the risks.
I evaluated my choices. Getting rid of all Windows telemetry, cortana, bing etc = 5 minutes with w10privacy. Running Forsa 5 on Mac - in a few years, maybe. Learning all the command line switches of Linux - never in my lifetime. So I chose the shortest path.
If you’re worried about it, backing up your subscriber list periodically seems like a good idea? There’s an export button on the subscribers tab.

(And there’s the option to set up a custom domain, but it costs $50.)
Upvoting because I think you're making an interesting point.

But I'm not so convinced that residential landlords will push back on this. They'll let RealPage take the fall, and go back to price gouging and colluding the old-fashioned way, quietly and in private.

Nor do I think politicians are so beholden to any one lobby that they'd risk torches and pitchforks. RealPage got some very bad press recently and people are very very upset when they go to look at their bank accounts. Much easier to kill off RealPage and keep people from getting too riled up.

Therefore I think this will go through and RealPage will be penalized into oblivion, but landlords and politicians will both know that it was a worthy sacrifice to keep the profit flowing in the long term.
I was recently told (right here on HN) that Squarespace has built-in subscriptions. Not sure if it can be connected to their blog "product", but that might be an option. Of course, readers will have to experience the friction of entering their card details.

There are in fact theater lights at least as early as the 90's with cold mirrors to direct IR to a heatsink, to extend the life of gobos and gels, and put less IR on actors.

Cold mirrors that large are expensive and it's just complexity/something to break or need servicing (cleaning) so I doubt they were stocked much by rental companies or saw much usage in tv/movie production.

Hmm, I guess I didn't see that in the video, maybe I viewed it differently? Robots were making human food, which seems whimsical to me, and makes me wonder why would something (maybe autonomous) want to do that. I am not sure simply using an Asian setting and neon lights makes something cyberpunk, but maybe the artist did intend it that way.

This part from my comment is just my perspective, not me defining:

> That said, I also find it disheartening that cyberpunk is often imagined as dystopian or hypersexualized, that's all very trite tbh.

I find this characteristic about the genre boring and unnecessary as I think it's reflective of the views and relationships of the various authors to technology and its effects.

Substack’s TOS clearly states that the writer owns their list, so I don’t think Substack could even legally axe the ability to export the list.

Even if they did change the terms it couldn’t apply retroactively, and as you say, it would upset everybody. So while I can think of reasons to not use Substack, list ownership is not a particularly good one.

I purchased a thinkpad without any operating system on it and installed openBSD. I would not recommend this to someone coming from Windows land, but once you’ve been around the linux side for a while, you should come check openBSD out. It’s really really nice.
I have a formal ADHD diagnosis, and I'm the same way (I know, every sibling comment is saying the same thing. just thought I'd chime in with my Credential)

At the same time, I do kind of question the utility of the formal diagnosis. Why do I need to go to the doctor to have them tell me "you can only focus on interesting things"? Isn't that everyone to some degree? If we had an education system that was less boring and stupid, "ADHD" wouldn't be an illness.

With duckdb running on python you can register your own file-system adapters. This means that you can do things like intercept globbing, transform urls/path or physically getting files.

This means that you could inject whatever listing/lookup that might be needed for your read_{format}() table function use case.

However, it is true that there is no standard way to glob over HTTP unless you're using something like S3.
I keep saying that Linux is now the best of the three major desktop OSes, and it's not because it's improved that much. We have regressed so far in UI and user abuse.
Once I’ve done the dead obvious bits I start looking at invocation counts, on two fronts.

Not enough is said about running a subsystem a deterministic number of times and then evaluating the call counts. Invariably there is some method that is being called 2x as often as the requirements and architecture dictate (scenario one above). Someone just goofed, forgot they already had an answer, or part of one.

And then they’re the “profilers lie” part. If you have two functions that take 4.5% of overall time, and one is called 25k times, while the other is called 250k times, the chances of bookkeeping errors in the latter are much higher. It could be 4%, or it could be 10%. When in doubt, sort by invocation count and try another optimization pass.

I’ve also seen a variation on this in GC languages - one periodic large allocation gets stuck doing a full GC almost every time, because a dozen little methods are churning out garbage at a tempo that keeps missing the GC threshold because of the periodic allocation, which keeps raising the heap size toward whatever max you’ve set. To an extent cache smashing does the same thing. Little invalidations make problems for bigger methods.

Got a touchbar?

I discovered the fingers on my right hand barely brush the bottomed edge of it when I make certain multi-key keystrokes. Right where the play “button” was by default. Took me forever to figure out why Music was opening “randomly”.

I ended up setting the touchbar to static, not per-program customizable, and replacing most of it with a “spacer” element. Fixed the problem.

Luckily they’ve realized they were a bad idea and my newer ones don’t have a touchbar.

Despite the unending stream of users trying to trip-up "Jesus", I find the AI's answers strangely comforting and I invariably leave with a smile on my face. It's ability to see through the attempts at jokes to outsmart the AI, and (mostly) seamlessly segue into a fitting homily is pretty cool. It also has a strongly "liberal" slant compared to the vast bulk of "Christianity" that's promulgated in the US. Would love to know what corpus beyond just the religious texts it was trained on. Fascinating.
A strange nit to pick but even then your details are wrong.

1896 - Herzl's pamphlet to Rotschilds[1] calling for an Israeli state in either Palestine or Argentina

1897 - First Zionist Congress calling for establishing a Jewish state in Palestine

1917 - British sign Balfour declaration in a letter to Rotschild promising a jewish state in Palestine [2]

1918 - British defeat ottomans and drive them out of the Levant with help of Arab partisans promising them an Arab State. The arabs were betrayed.[3]

So barely 20 years between First Pamplet and Congress and the Balfour declaration. Also note that British had already promised Palestine to the Jews before it even came to their possession.

I would add that in 1914 the population was 94% arab. By 1948 after the British flooded in Jewish migrants mainly from Europe and the Americas, the population became about ~65% + arab and 35+ Jewish. And the just-formed UN (mostly controlled by Western countries and their friends) handed over 60% of the land to the Jews with Palestine split into 2.

So for all intents and purposes "British handed over Palestine to Israel" seems to be an accurate summary.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

I’m trying to understand where the roadblock on a rPi + small FPGA hybrid board for $50 fails at the task… and it sounds like the OS/firmware doesn’t suffice. (Or a SoC, like a Zynq.)

Eg, if we could guarantee that the 1.5GHz core won’t “be off” by more than 1us on responding and the FPGA can manage IO directly to buffer out (some of) the jitter, then the cost of many hobby systems with “(still not quite) hard” real time systems would come down to reasonable.
A legitimate choice. Howevever whether it is truly a wise one depends a bit on what you are doing.

If what you are doing with a computer involves the need to "know all command line switches", then you will also have to know command line switches on Windows.

A linux for the most part nowadays can be used without command line. When you jave to use it, it would be customization or installation of certain experimental software that isn't in the software center (and that is usually copy paste).

No way in hell.

If my employer wants to reduce my productivity (by enforcing Windows), so be it, he'll have to deal with the consequences.

But using Windows is from a data-privacy and security standpoint (ironically, the same reason I'm supposed to use Windows at work) an absolute no-go.

Just look at how the new outlook handles your email credentials.

Absolutely. No. Way.

I'm sure the success was partly due to the fact that the "shittiness" of the robots was because they were iterative prototypes, not because she was inept.

Windows is apparently moving to a "we'll be an app on any platform you move to" model, and I kinda think it's the best of both worlds.

I wish macos moved to the same model and it could be just an app on a linux or windows machine. Apple is already shifting their weight to service revenue for growth, this could be a realistic direction to take.

I believe it will still be worth it to become musically trained; otherwise, you’d just be adding to the pile of worthless garbage on redundant storage somewhere. My only fear is how to preserve the idea with kids of how awesome and enlightening it is to learn to play a musical instrument, be able to master it, even hacking it, and maybe improving it. That’s why over time I’m appreciating more and more analog music producers like Vulfpeck, and their success might be a lesson to learn from, even though I don’t expect many to know them in this high-tech context.
It didn't hand over the entirety of it but it did make a case for dividing the land[0].

Note that this was occuring at the same time that zionist militants [1] (self proclaimed terrorists who would later become part of the IDF) were fighting the british authorities and even trying to align themselves with the Nazis.

Also worth mentioning that the zionists could never have defeated the Ottomans themselves.

I guess it comes down to what you consider "handed over".

Was there a concerted effort to create a state? Yes.

Did the British help them achieve this aim? Yes.

>die, isn't the insurance provider just cutting off its own source of income?

No because that person will have paid right up the the point they become expensive.

Most people incur the vast majority of their health costs in the final year or even months of life. This is why insurance based medicine will always be problematic - there’s just too much incentive to cheap out on people when they are weakest and most powerless.
It might be. RealPage's definitely is because they've clearly accrued market power in order to control pricing. In Redfin's case it seems like more of a marketing gimmick, but if you could prove it had a meaningful effect on driving prices up, then yes, the FTC should order its' removal.

> Should we forbid tools to help landlords figure out how much their places should rent for?

It depends? Playing moneyball (i.e. charging the maximum the market will bear without a serious, violent response) with a necessity like rent should be illegal, and many of these tools seem designed to do that using market power, which is explicitly illegal. If the tool just gave some local averages based on things like amenities, that might be ok.
Having recently started a job and being forced to use Windows for the first time in ... 20 years, I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.

It's been some month and I now start emojis with "(" instead of ":" ...

... also I am surprised what a shitstorm "finding a place to save a file" is. I was amused by a former student of mine who claimed that she "only had the files in Excel!", but now I can understand that the file dialogs in Windows literally have "folders" for different programs.

With OneDrive folders, other OneDrive Folders, local folders, Application folders, Network drives I completely understand how people get confused ...

I’ve seen actual implementations of hash tables claim O(1) amortized insertion time, not O(m). And I misspent a summer about 5 years back thinking I had a constant space overhead mergesort (when what I had was poorly chosen input data. Bummer). I read a lot of mergesort papers then. Nobody mentioned m. I may get bored and check your theory on textbooks, but I suspect you’re letting optimism get the better of you. In a conversation about pragmatism that’s not good.

All of my examples at the top were not hypothetical, they were all actual arguments I’ve had with real people or documentation I bitched to someone about.

Edit: I mean fuck, even Wikipedia has it wrong:

> In sorting n objects, merge sort has an average and worst-case performance of O(n log n).

N objects. Not n numbers. If you want to fix the world instead of declaring bankruptcy with me, start there.

At least they get space overhead right farther down:

> In this case, the notion of "in-place" can be relaxed to mean "taking logarithmic stack space", because standard merge sort requires that amount of space for its own stack usage.
We really need to solve this issue. I was going to say 'just run your own web server and email your clients' but obviously you can't do that in this current environment.

That sounds like textbook ADHD my friend. ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it is the inability to control your focus. It's a form of executive disfunction that can cause you to procrastinate things which are annoying, or hyper-focus (to an unhealthy degree) on things which are inartistically interesting.

Just this morning I was late to an appointment that was really important, because I was really invested into fixing this bug I was working on. In the grand scheme of things that was a stupid decision, and if I had taken even 2 seconds to think about it I would have closed my laptop and went to my appointment. But I didn't stop to think: that's ADHD.

I think that logic is just as faulty as the assumption that 90% of the un-appealed claims would also be overturned.

> Avoid technical jargon and use language familiar to your users instead.

The problem with that: Such messages are rarely helpful in diagnosing and actually fixing the problem, which is the point of error messages in the first place.

The 404 Error message is short, precise, and (unless the server misuses HTTP codes), tells me EXACTLY what is wrong: 404: Resource not found. The thing that the URL I entered denotes, isn't there.

That is a helpful error message. "Oh dear, oh dear, it didn't work." however, is a crap error message, and the only thing it accomplishes, is enraging both users and technical support staff.
