You think the political willpower across all superpowers would be substantial enough to allow for "error correction" forking (nicest way to put this), to the benefit of individual superpowers who made an error like that?

This seems unlikely.

The fact that the ownership is capturing a huge multiple of your effort and you could go somewhere else to capture more of the money you create?

Pioneer. I just installed a 2 head and it was about $2000 in total. They come pre-charged but require more work. You have to cut/flare the lineset and vacuum the lines.

The thing I don't like about MrCool is that you can't cut the lineset and have to coil the extra which is a bit janky. Also they have a considerable markup over other DIY.
I don't think that it's clear at all, but I suppose that's subjective. To me it's much more difficult to parse and got in the way of my enjoyment of an otherwise excellent book.

I'd have much preferred "new" pronouns like xe/xer/xem. I've read thousands of books, and changing an old word to mean new things (but only under specific circumstances) is much more difficult for me than learning a new word.

I Googled it, and for what it's worth, the APA recommends against the singular "they" because they also think it can be confusing (except in cases of gender diversity): https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2015/11/the-use-of-singul...

The Chicago Style guide is much the same. I don't think either mean's to say that it automatically becomes less confusing when gender diversity is involved, it's just that we don't have better options.

It's sci-fi. If we're imaging a better future, can't we also imagine some new pronouns that don't confuse people?

The mob always wins in the end, but I never understood why many on HN have been so cynical about Bitcoin. At least Satoshi tried, whoever they were. They gave a gift to the world, but it sadly got co-opted and taken over first by small-time grifters and now by the big boys at Wall Street. In hindsight it was probably bound to happen, because money buys influence and a casual decentralized group of coders can never win against banks and governments.

Anyway, digital gold is still better than nothing. It's still an innovation as a store of value, even if the payments idea is basically history (some Bitcoin maxis just don't understand that yet). Also Bitcoin has inspired a whole ecosystem of other blockchains. If you want the original concept of a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, Monero is probably one of the best to check out currently. Governments are btw currently going after Monero, because unlike the common myth about Bitcoin, it actually enables anonymous payments - just like cash. And so of course we can't have that. Multiple exchanges already announced they were forced to delist XMR.
UX with hardware wallets (which you can get for like $60) is pretty decent these days and it eliminates a lot of stress in the workflows you typically use. There's still a huge room for improvement with seedphrase backup and "social recovery", but it's easier now than it's been in the past.

Closer analogy would be tritium vials/dials, which are also beta emitters, and are also not banned in the US.
If you don't like that philosophical abstraction then let me phrase it another way: "How much of our cancer rates and fetal anomalies are a natural result of our genes, and how much are they a result of things we humans have done to our environment?"

Well, HN is so deep in their own reality distortion bubble that they are still not noticing that "AGI" is actually about lining some-else's pockets over a sci-fi dream sold to them through hype after trampling over laws and regulations.

Those on HN who believed that such a complete ban on crypto was feasible were always delusional. The cat is out of the bag for both AI and crypto, but in the end, the legal system always gets them to pay up and the regulators for both AI or crypto will get them as well.

No escaping that.

3: As a consumer, NVME drives are an off the shelf easy to source item. All of the storage cases you specify are better served by a 'full server', even if that is a desktop device running 'x86_64' OpenWRT.

8: RTC is SURPRISINGLY very important for E.G. Initial TLS / HTTPS connections and bootstrapping secure connections. It's also a serious quality of life aspect that doesn't cost that much to add. Surely you've seen the hell caused by Microsoft's attempts to fix this problem wreaking havoc with connection failures.

5: I suspect that was more to fit the form factor of an existing off the shelf case, and dangling a dumb-switch off the internal port is a reasonable option. This is annoying but I understand the reasons and tradeoffs.

I see using this device as a router for E.G. grandma's / friend / other family. Where someone tech literate buys the thing that does 99.9% of the desired work for a lot less headache and that you know will see updates because it's supported from day 0 by OpenWRT / the community.

You valued your time differently than others value theirs. Every hour you’re paid for is an hour of life you’ll never get back.

Comfortable gig with adequate comp for some, “fuck you pay me” for others. We’re all replaceable, and you never know when you’ll run out of time and be unemployable (through no fault of your own). Maybe people just learned being reasonable got them nowhere. Sometimes it does, but not most of the time.

I assure you estimated attrition rates and compensation controls are built into spreadsheets somewhere. I’ve seen such artifacts at more than one org.

That sounds like a big deal, but it doesn't mean anything. Stanford is among the top research universities in the world. Of course they're going to have a lot of non-teaching employees. The institution primarily exists for research, not teaching.

Hit the nail in the head. A growing company has plenty of opportunity for learning, promotion, making new things, and retooling old ones to match the growth of business. This means there are very few zero sum games, either at the IC or management level.

When growth stops, there's little chances to gain status by solving problems: Someone already has status, and really doesn't want to lose it. Those frustrated with the lack of growth, and who have good skills applicable somewhere else will leave. The people that stay are those that have fewer opportunities to find something better elsewhere. So when you see an architect/principal engineer that has been there for 15 years, you know they know that they'd not be hired at the same level anywhere with more chances of growth: Those people have already left.

This is why i understand the middle manager that tries to empire build: If you don't have growth opportunities, your top subordinates will leave you, and with them your group's performance.

There are other reasons to leave a company, like if you see good chances that you'll dislike your boss and they will remain your boss for at least another year, but the lack of growth will always be bad.
Jumping ship stops bringing in more money once you get old, unless you transition to management (which not all of us can or want to do).
I've been part of a moderation team in a (much) smaller context. Most people want to do good work, but in the end, we're all human, so of course anybody could be influenced, especially in such volatile situations.

How far people are actually influenced and in which direction... that's anybody's guess.

The Fat-Farms of Mauritania
None of those solutions are suitable for this mission. These satellites need to be traveling a hundreds of thousand of kilometres an hour or more. Think about voyager 1 traveling at 65,000km/hr. It is still over 18,000 years before it will reach a light years distance and this mission is talking about 4 light years. So the launch really has zero importance as does getting these satellites up to massive massive speeds. Anything less then like 1million kilometres per hour is probably just too slow.
Edit: even at 1 million kilometres per hour it would still take over 4000 years to reach the full distance so really we need to be going unimaginably fast to get there.
A side question: Is there any book that talks about a software/hardware project from the technical side, but not too technical to scare away people. I'm thinking about something similar to "Soul of the Machine" and "Show Stopper" (but I think they are not as technical as I want).
We are definately on the opposite ends of the spectrum then... but I will say, as a fan of their work, i completely, 100% understand why you may feel that way.

Ill just say i dont appreciate them for their lead singer in the slightest. In fact i like them in spite of that fact.

>He's literally the most famous producer in the world. Nobody engaged him for cost-cutting purposes. :)

100% agree today. But back in 1991 he was still an up and comer of sorts, at least much less established than he is now. He is definately one that made bank and benefitted off the consolidation of radio (and was smart enough to pivot that into more modern forms of production and distribution). And i feel that is point that was being made by Beato. The clear channel consolidation and Telecommunications act paved the way for producers like this to make a killing. If they had an ear for what the masses would like, they had a platform to blow up (and rick did exactly that).
Not really. My first econ professor equated regular investing in stocks is more like buying a a loan (at the absolute most basic level).

You can keep it, and hopefully get more money out of it than you put in, or risk getting less or none of it if the underlying borrower wasn't the best and goes in to default.

Or you can sell it to someone else for more or less depending on the borrowers performance.
You will have to re-interview to get a new grant, and even for a strong performer with a well-established historical track record at the company can be a very probabilistic event.

Everything flows into a spreadsheet I created that has a row for each month, and tracks my spending, income, and net worth. The data for each new row comes from a few different places.

Lunchmoney aggregates and categorizes my spending data.

My net worth is tracked in another spreadsheet that updates as asset prices change. This spreadsheet also tracks my asset allocation across my accounts, which is roughly based on the 3 fund portfolio from bogleheads (with a bit allocated to crypto as well) [0].

In terms of cashflow, I use Fidelity's cash management account, where I keep a buffer in a money market account. Income flows into this account, and bills flow out. They automatically liquidate the money market if I need more cash, which is nice.

And in terms of investing, historically I kept a 6 month emergency fund, then invested the extra every few months based on my desired asset allocation. More recently I have been increasing my cash cushion with the intent of paying off my recently purchased house in several years (since the interest rate makes it less attractive).

Of course when measuring X now, you have to ensure that methodology for measuring X has not changed.

For example, are medical examiners back then, or even now, more apt to rule a suicide an accidental death? Wide social trends can affect how these individual decisions are marked at population scales.
Hybrid companies need the full remote AND on-site apparatus at the same time. They can't be half remote or people will be left off of office discussions all the time and they have to maintain expensive real estate.

Imagine having to wait for the office day in a hybrid company to discuss something important. Nobody does that.
Also remember things are not like the movies. Most gold is not found in large single chunks. It is found as tiny inclusions scattered within a larger piece of rock, sometimes put there by flash deposition deep in the crust (earthquake or whatever lowers pressure, water instantly flashes to steam, dissolved minerals and floating particles fall out).

The same goes for other materials: They are often interspersed with lots of other minerals or the ore form is actually several different compounds in random mixtures.

Another example is Aluminum which comes from Bauxite. We say Bauxite as if it was one single thing but its actually a varying mix of Al(OH)3, AlO(OH), FeO(OH), Fe2O3, Al2Si2O5(OH)4, TiO2, FeTiO3, FeOTiO2, and traces of others. The actual composition varies within and between veins.
After a few years managing my finance after learning that I should do it (review of my first year of full time work), what I retain is two things: Envelope budgeting, Every dollar is used, and don’t sweat the small stuff. I have an envelope for each category of spending, each goal and one for saving. My income is split between these everytime I get it. I don’t bother tracking small expenses (less than 10$) if it’s not done automatically (credit card). I used Ynab first, then banktivity, now I use Ledger.

My goal is only to track If I’m not spending more than necessary and my runway if I have no income.
I dunno I think when they work recommendations are actually quite good. YouTube's recommendation system is very dumb but even so it's quite good (sorry Googler's; I'm sure you have optimised the wrong metric extremely well). Amazon's "people also looked at" is very useful - more useful than the actual search in my experience.

I think it really falls down on Netflix because it doesn't have anything good to recommend to you 90% of the time. Doesn't matter how good your recommendation algorithm is if your catalogue is 90% dross and the user has already watched the remaining 10%.
Wow! That's bananas! Imagine being 20 minutes and 6 decimal places away from a million bucks.

> IMHO there wasn’t any reason to bother fiddling with the definition of BOOL.

There were good reasons to change this to a real boolean. I think it was a WWDC, where kind of discussing this topic, one Apple engineer said they did an audit of production Obj-C code and found multiple instances where their BOOL values were values other than 0 or 1 (which was considered surprising and ultimately bugs).

This can lead to all sorts of subtle problems. One common one encountered by framework users is where something returns a BOOL and the user explicitly compared against == YES or == NO. If the value is say 2, then this code usually results in wrong decision.
It’s the wrong form format:

this looks great. I'm puzzled by something though: why does it duplicate components that already exist in standard HTML5 (Button, Checkbox, Dropdown etc.)? The whole idea of web components is being able to augment what's already built in, not have to replace it.

Maybe it's for consistency (styling/behaviour). Either way, it looks really well done.
> it blows my mind when people complain that not enough good or original films come out in a given year

I have a weird take on this.

Before I started working on my startup, I had a lot of time to watch and even make movies. I typically would watch about ~50-100 films a year. When I was younger, it was even more. I was voracious.

I tend to like indie and art house films, but I'll also enjoy popular fare. I'm not a snob. As long as the choices of the writers, directors, actors, and editors make sense, I'm typically able to assign a rating and slot the film into some kind of tier list.

But I'm always left unsated by the decision envelope.

The film will make its choices, but I always find myself wanting to go in other directions. Sometimes wildly different ones. I feel more like an active participant, critic, or perhaps even script doctor or producer.

When the story beats of a film change, my imagination keeps predicting outcomes along various trajectories. Sometimes I'm a perfect predictor. In these instances, films tend to be full of lazy tropes and are completely unsatisfying. Other times, my predictor is way off. If the dissonance is huge, sometimes I'm also left upset by the departure from expectations. It depends on whether the rest of the work makes sense as a whole.

I can't turn this off. It's always running.

I only see a handful of films a decade that will sit with me for days or weeks. The themes rhyme and have an ethereal logic that transcends me. These are the films that play my predictor like an instrument. Their choices are better than mine. Surprisingly and delightfully so. They reach my soul and change who I am as a person. These are films that I wouldn't change in the slightest. That I wish I could forget and watch again, and again, and again with fresh eyes.

I enjoy film, but I can't stop my overactive analysis. As I've gotten older, this attitude has only deepened. It makes it hard to call watching film entirely passive or enjoyable.

I enjoy the activity, but not always the film. The feelings are fleeting, and I'm left wanting for more.

Except occasionally. And I cherish those.
Not having globals at all or restoring them on reload isn't exactly "don't need anything complicated for this", especially considering using a generic hot-reload tool on AAA 5M+ LOC projects.

There's no easy way to retrofit hot-reload into these large codebases. Sure, it's easier if you design everything up-front with hot-reloading in mind, but it's still going to be hard to convince developers that they cannot use globals, thread-local storage, function statics, or other inherently stateful things that just won't work with DLL reloading.

I bought this air purifier after reading this article and researching more. The biggest advantage of this air purifier compared to others on the market is its cost of replacing the air filter. It's significantly cheaper than others.

I stay in a city with considerably high air pollution 2/3rds of the year, and this has done a wonderful job of cleaning the air.

Plus, Ikea sells a tiny air quality sensor separately, so you can measure the quality of the air near where you're sitting, not where the purifier is.
Mea culpa, I did not notice the date stamp. C++ 15 years ago was certainly much worse than today.
I think seasonal underground thermal storage is most interesting for somewhere like a remote community up near the Arctic Circle; away from grids, high seasonal variability in generation, etc. I don't think it's ever gonna be how you, say, run the whole European grid; there, a large geographic range of interconnected grid is more likely to be the answer. Cloudy in Germany? Spain's fine.
It's also pulled those grads away from more typical jobs they'd have building useful things and actually producing new real-world value.
