That is absolutely a useful resource, maybe even a necessary one, but I personally doubt it’s sufficient.

It’d be like trying to learn a foreign language entirely off something like Duolingo. At some point the only way for you to communicate like a native is going to be to embed yourself in the language and culture, otherwise you’ll never quite express things like a native.

I believe the argument that grandparent comment made was that "once your product has a commanding share of the market, it should be illegal, as it's clearly anticompetitive by that point"
> Condemning aggressive settlers is easy, but who will object to seemingly benign, peaceful "normal" families

The aggressive sellers enable the theft of Palestinian lands, through pogroms and other violence against the native inhabitants. The "peaceful normal" ones must piggyback on the violent ones to do the dirty job for them. If you curb the aggression, you curb the means of illegal settling for both groups.

Isn't the question what the "field" is? Does it have to be obvious to a random college grad in Electrical Engineering? Biomed Engineering? Someone who's worked in Medical devices before? Someone who's worked on any other Pulse/Ox before?

I can very easily see a case where it's obvious to anyone who's worked on this sort of device before, but only 1-2 companies make that sort of device, so if you want to hire someone to make that sort of device without starting from literally 0 experience, it would have to be from one of the few companies that have patents in that field.

Once you're talking about specific methods of accomplishing a specific task in a field, there aren't that many experts or practitioners.

This is getting into first principles territory. The short version is that the gantry being on a cantilever and an open frame means it's going to act like a tuning fork under toolhead acceleration. Higher resonance limits toolhead acceleration before print quality nose dives.

I haven't seen any accelerometer graphs posted for an XL, but it doesn't take much more than opening up PrusaSlicer and finding maximum accels set to 3k to see the direct result of that. That's where the rest of the community was 4-5 years ago. There's a reason why Prusa has an entire blogpost making excuses for why their printers' performance numbers aren't up to snuff compared to modern designs (while also cherry picking comparative numbers)[1].

It's not my only complaint about the XL but it's the most obvious one. I haven't been impressed in general with the prints I've seen come off those machines.

But only if undercutting isn't too expensive/pays back fast enough. The issue is that from a revenue perspective things always look simple, from a profit perspective it gets more complicated, especially if things have switching costs/limited fungibility, are oligopolies and other structured markets.

> You'll see a stable BTRFS and a continued effort to polish XFS/LVM/MDRAID before openZFS ever makes a dent.

Right now I would put my money on bcachefs[1] rather than BTRFS. bcachefs is currently in the process of being merged into the kernel and will be in the next kernel release. Doesn't currently quite offer everything ZFS does, but it's very close and already appears more reliable than BTRFS, and once stuff like Erasure Coding is stable, it'll be more flexible than ZFS.

> 8. The founder of Lululemon picked that name for the company because he thought it would be funny to hear Japanese speakers try to say it. What an asshole.

From the Wiki:
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chip_Wilson)

> On the founding of Lululemon, in a 2004 interview with National Post Business magazine, Wilson said "The reason the Japanese liked [my former skateboard brand, ‘Homless’] was because it had an L in it and a Japanese marketing firm wouldn’t come up with a brand name with an L in it. L is not in their vocabulary. It’s a tough pronunciation for them. So I thought, next time I have a company, I’ll make a name with three Ls and see if I can get three times the money. It’s kind of exotic for them. I was playing with Ls and I came up with Lululemon. It’s funny to watch them try to say it."[51]

Seems like it was more about standing out from the crowd.
I think your social class is largely a function of what your parents’ social class is because it’s in the formative years before you even begin earning money that you absorb all of the values, mannerisms, entitlements, experiences, etc that are ‘in the water’ of your upbringing. Someone who has been born to very wealthy parents has been around a different kind of melieu their whole life. They’ve absorbed a different kind of table talk. They’ve travelled more, stayed in nicer hotels, been treated better by staff at many different establishments… all of that gets baked into their conditioning in those formative years.
You are using the term "straw man" but I don't think you understand what it means.
The discussion so far: "Why police should prosecute theft in Walmart?", "Because Walmart pays taxes", "Are you sure (some examples of Walmart avoiding paying some federal taxes)", "Yes, these examples are irrelevant". Now enter you "There are other crimes that are not prosecuted, tax avoidance, wage theft blah blah blah" and then you proceed to accuse me in straw-manning, from what I understand. You might be serious in your mind but you are not making such an impression on me, sorry.
That's the whole idea of using a system based on declarative state. As soon as the system is back up, the agent can resolve state again. You also keep a central copy of the state of every agent.

You can absolutely do this by writing your own agent (or by writing a family of bash script, but they tend to grow pretty complex over time), ansible is just a framework to write that in a standardized way. It will also out of the box handle a number of common system state such as running services and sysctl triggers.

There are a number of similar systems such as puppet or salt, which are all variations of the same basic idea. 30k hosts are a lot, and will need sizing the system appropriately, but it's not an unusual configuration by any means.

Axel here (the founder). You raise a good point and I agree with your sentiment. The aim shouldn’t be to replace direct conversations with real customers, which undoubtedly lead to insights that are hard to capture in any other way today. The problem I’ve heard from most product teams I’ve spoken with is that it can be hard to speak with customers often enough to reach this type of insight quickly enough to inform product decisions. That’s where AI-led user interviews can help, as they allow you to interview a large amount of customers and identify patterns and themes within hours (instead of days or weeks).
For make there is much better option than googling: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html and hit Ctrl+F. You can even easily search for things like $<. Nothing else is really needed. And for BSD make the man page is all you need.
I'd prefer banning as well, but I figure there are probably some reasonable reasons.

And I agree, the work obligation doesn't continue after, but I don't think the employee should lose out on pay while they can't work elsewhere in the same field just because the employer wants to keep them from doing so. It should be painful for the company and easy for the employee.

We do know to a reasonable degree because otherwise the ‘improperly’ banned would make a noticeable fuss. It’s not a common enough occurrence but maybe you have some in mind.

The biological neural structures that encode behavior are “trained” through evolution, but even the most advanced animals rely mostly on conditioned (= learned during lifetime) reflexes, and not on the ones “hardcoded” evolutionary.

Certainly not much evolutionary “training” in the human brain has happened in the last 3000 years, yet advancement in our understanding of the world has been plentiful. But human thinking (including rationality, mathematics, etc.) is on a different level to even learned animalistic behavior. Some great apes were taught language and even showed basic abstract conceptual thinking, but were never able to reach the level of 3-5 years old human kids.

The problem with GPTs and other statistical models is that they can learn incredibly complex patterns in anything we can express as bytes, but not learn the simplest concepts of maths despite being trained on the whole corpus of mathematical texts available on the internet, while kids need classes that can be covered in a single textbook to understand them, and adults may need just a textbook for this.

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Management of Acute Allergic Reactions

Appropriate medical treatment to manage immediate allergic reactions must be immediately available in the event an acute anaphylactic reaction occurs following administration of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.

Monitor Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine recipients for the occurrence of immediate adverse reactions according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-consideration...).

5.2 Myocarditis and Pericarditis

Postmarketing data with authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly within the first week following vaccination. For Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, the observed risk is highest in males 18 years through 24 years of age. Although some cases required intensive care support, available data from short-term follow-up suggest that most individuals have had resolution of symptoms with conservative management. Information is not yet available about potential long-term sequelae.

The CDC has published considerations related to myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, including for vaccination of individuals with a history of myocarditis or pericarditis (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-consideration...).

5.3 Syncope

Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting.

5.4 Altered Immunocompetence

Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished response to Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine.

5.5 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness

Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine may not protect all vaccine recipients.
I wish everyone would just standardize on 9p already. It's solid and has existed for going on thirty years.

Microsoft actually uses it for WSL, but afaik does provide the ability to access other 9p servers.
Fair enough.

I have been exploring making it or investing in it on this very thread. It’s a novel problem and it often helps to study the problem with first principles as animal agriculture is 40 percent of global output and a key environmental problem is predator mitigation, however it’s done.

I was doing a review of insurance products too. Interesting stuff.

I’m deeply empathetic to the problems and understand some of the complexity involved. I have a fair amount of experience in ag, but not in this area.

I feel like we should continue to innovate until we find solutions that work: that’s what humans do best. It’s important to keep applying new technologies to existing problems rather than entrenching ourselves in previous failures: that’s the root activity of substantive innovation.

> What exactly was your point here?

I'm helping you with your own question: I gave you an example where a reactor was not shutdown for 'political reasons'. It was shutdown because it was a crap safety design, which almost caused additional meltdowns.

> So same kind of plant, same Tsunami, better results.

But not good results. The results were still shit: the reactors had be decommissioned.

> the Tsunami was unprecedented

Was it? Japan sits for several million years on the "ring of fire" with lots of volcanos, earthquakes, tsunamis, ...

Here is a list of stronger Earthquakes in the last years...
https://www.worlddata.info/asia/japan/earthquakes.php

The 2011 earthquake was only the strongest in the short recorded time. There are similar strong ones on the list. -> Earthquake under sea cause Tsunami.

> Yet despite all that crap going on, very few people were harmed by the reactor accident, whereas a LOT were harmed by the Tsunami.

A few 100k people lost their homes. 10k people will work in the reactors with high radiation over the next thirty years. Japan lost >> 100 billions USD worth of electricity production infrastructure.

What's worse: they built the reactors knowing that there was a chance of a meltdown, the molten fuel went through the reactor containment and was going into a concrete bed underneath, where it also was melting into it. With the Earthquake creating cracks. But the kicker: they had no idea what to do then. No plans, no technology, no sensors, nothing. They had decades time to prepare. They did nothing.

6 years after the accident they were finally able to measure radiation inside a reactor: 530 Sievert per hour...

They were completely clueless what actually happened, because all electronics (sensors, computers, cameras, robots, ...) were useless, because they all were dead because the high radiation. It will take decades to develop the technology to deal with the molten cores themselves. 880 tons of molten nuclear fuel. -> https://www.neimagazine.com/news/newsfukushima-decommissioni...

Looks pretty bad, when a single event can take out all their nuclear reactors for years (please don't mention your armchair expert bullshit that it was all politically overreacting on their side).

Ask HN: Google account and WhatsApp user data exchange
Hi HN,
I think i got another paranoia after a few cases when i was googling stuff from my Android based devices.

First case, Paris 2019. I have googled something like "jewelery store" right in google maps. Ive immediately got an advertisement on my WhatsApp account from one quite famous brand in home country.
On that time I think I was using Asus Zenofone 3.

The second case has happened just yesterday in Stockholm, Sweden.
I started wondering about crypto currencies which required some nybie googling (Chrome with google account login on Linux laptop).
Within a few hours I got an new contact request in WhatsApp(phone) with text looking like "hello my friend. I am a politically affiliated person who got a lot of tokens. Here's wallet number and password"

I have receive spam messages sometimes. But both messages look so connected to the subject I was googling..

Has anyone had a similar experience?
