Not an entirely permanent case, but I remember seeing a documentary about people living on shifting river deltas in Bangladesh, where the land they 'own' can get submerged for some years, forcing them to make a temporary house elsewhere, but able to go back and rebuild when/if the land re-emerges.

But insurance is of course not really involved because the people living in these circumstances are typically not so well off. IIRC government relief is also not really much of a thing for those communities. They just rely on each other, knowing that by helping others in the community, they'll get help in return when they need it.
Oh come off it, we were saying horrible shit to one another on Slashdot in '99.
Lunaris | Engineering | Tokyo, Japan | On-site | Visa sponsorship | Full Time | https://teamlunaris.com/

Lunaris started out as an otaku-centric online shop called Solaris Japan founded in 2008, and is still going strong to this day. As such, many of us here have a huge passion for anime, gaming, or Japanese pop culture in general. It’s not unusual to see an anime figure sitting on someone’s desk, the latest League of Legends tournament streaming on our lounge television, or hear someone discussing their past adventures on Final Fantasy XI.

However, our passion doesn’t stop there – we’re a team of self-starters who are driven by results. As Solaris Japan continued its success and our customer base grew, we sought solutions to serve our customers, and added Shopify to our toolkit. We then built a number of custom applications for ourself and automated many of our processes, and realized we could offer these solutions to other e-commerce platforms as well. Thus, Lunaris was born, and with it additional e-commerce solutions like easyPoints, easyRates, and more.

We are a team of international engineers, and are actively seeking a few more engineers to join our growing team:

- Senior/Lead Engineer - https://teamlunaris.com/eng/jobs/senior-lead-developer

- Fullstack Engineer - https://teamlunaris.com/eng/jobs/full-stack-developer

Tech stack: Elixir, PostgreSQL, AWS, Docker, React (mostly JS)

If Lunaris sounds like a good fit for you, and you're ready for a new experience in Japan (or already living here), please check out the above positions and send in your application.

Of course, if you have any other questions, feel free to reach us at jobs@lunaris.jp
That is the beauty of the scam… plausibility, isolation and sunk cost. They had my wife on the phone for 90 minutes! It was so exhausting and nerve wracking that by the time the crypto request comes, you are too drained to think straight.

It was quite traumatizing… I am very thankful the money (while significant) wasn’t make or break for us.

I am sure for lots of people it can mean missing some payment or something. My 8yo was worried we wouldn’t be able to pay the mortgage. (Thankfully not a concern)
I think it works here because it gives a sense like "imagine two new football fields showed up on your local coastline". But then maybe that's not the right sense. It could be true for miles of coastline. Regardless it is a significant change.
It's about safety, really - most performance-enhancing drugs are detrimental to the body of the enhanced.

If someone eats lots of potatoes and that gives them the energy to perform well at soccer, their performance was certainly "enhanced" by a "substance", but nobody would care.
None of that supports your prior assertion that it's "absolutely" a religious effort though. Even if it's pure vanity and 100% wasteful, why should any Earthly religion have an overruling say about it?

"as intended" means nothing changes for corporations, a race to copyright before releasing anything for the creators who know better, and unaware creators (likely, lower income underprivileged, young) having their ideas stolen by the former 2 the moment they post.

Used X200 units are still available. Put 8 GB RAM and an SSD in them, and they're good for most Linux purposes.

And the X200 is relatively easy to put Coreboot/Libreboot on (as in-circuit SPI flashing headache goes, compared to those models that require extensive teardown), and the Intel ME code can be removed rather than merely disabled.
Yes, I use the Apple MD826 / MD826ZMA Lightning to HDMI Adaptor & their XREAL Air Adapter. Is that what's not hdcp compliant?
That's the point. Why allow them to? They're barred from any action so there's no good purpose served by having them.
I have absolutely gotten legitimate phone calls from a sheriff/marshal in the stats of texas to let me know I had two warrants out for my arrest (failure to pay wrong left turn ticket, failure to show up at court for said ticket).

I called him back at the published phone number for his division. He let me know he wasn't going to be bothered driving 45 minutes across the metro area to find me and arrest me, and if I just stopped by court and got it taken care of in next three months that would be great.
Those are all true statements, right?

The ideal amount of anything bad, is zero. But the optimal amount is going to be higher than that, given we don't have unlimited resources to spend.

It is indeed unintuitive in practice.

One of the key factors is that a large part of the cost is opportunity cost. People tend to get all tangled up when thinking about such counterfactuals. We want to have our cake and eat it too. And if we can't, we persist in trying to find ways to believe that we can, and are surprised that the world continues not working that way.
> Banking KYC isn't about making sure people are authorized to bank, its about making sure the government is able to track them down if they are (determined by the government to be) associated with bad things.

The problem with this is that it doesn't really work. Serious criminals use shell corporations, fake or stolen identities, hire patsies, use precious metals or physical cash, foreign banking systems, cryptocurrencies, Hawala, etc. The effectiveness of KYC rules is abysmal, to the point that we could abolish them and hardly notice any effect on crime. And yet we continue to pay all of the costs, which fall on innocent people.
Please note: Ireland

This is the national internet regulator proposing that it would require that everyone, adult and children alike, would upload their state ID and live selfies, to porn sites to have biometric processing of their facial images performed. Resulting, amongst other things, in an effective register of porn preferences for adults and a collection of selfies of children kept by the porn sites for six years[0]

So, all these PII data and sensitive data points[1] would be hosted on American-owned datacentres, which Ireland is densely populated with?

Anyone see something slightly worrying here? Anyone? Just asking rhetorically.

For me and you it's not surprising, for others it seems it is.

Maybe people have gotten worse at intuitively understanding that tradeoffs need to be made in anything, and that the questions that define systems are never choices as much as what the tradeoff should be.

I guess we have a disagreement about what "solve basic math equations" actually means.
I note you've moved the goalposts from "obvious" causality to "reasonable, therefore plausible" causality. Still, I continue to find your attempt at "grounding" unconvincing. The mere fact that cars must slow for a roundabout does not automatically make it lower throughput than one where they have to actually stop for some unspecified interval. Speaking of specification, if I was trying to be grounded, I would assume that which system has higher throughput depends on the implementation details and situation, notably the timing of the lights and how much traffic is naturally on the given road.

Details matter. You've been attempting to make generalizations irrespective of any of those details, and I'm saying they're not justified, or at best need much stronger evidence. But sure, I'm the sophist here. I'd ask you for "facts" to back up your claim, but you've already walked it back, so I guess I'm done.
Nobody deserves anything. That implies some kind of cosmic force or entity that is keeping track of who does what and enforcing some kind of justice. People get what they figure out how to get and they keep it as long as they figure out how to keep it. Random luck (good or bad) can happen to anyone at any time.

It may not seem "fair" (whatever fair means), but it makes a lot more sense given the data than other explanations.

as the article touches on here, there's two things that Lance Armstrong deserves criticism for: one is being a cheater.

the other is being a raging asshole who was outspoken against doping, published multiple books professing how clean he was and how all the doping rumours were just people out to get him, claimed the whole country of france was dishonest, accused his competitors of doping, accused other cyclists who he didn't even race against of doping... all while he was not only pumping himself full of drugs to win races, but also running his team's doping program and pushing his teammates to risk their own health by taking performance enhancing drugs.

the second part of this is what he doesn't deserve any forgiveness for.
Really liking it so far!

An offline-first platform that lets you store your information in a central way and provides multiple forms of use and access is exactly what I've been trying to find, without much success until now.

I'm not sure I've understood how to fully realise the promises of it though. I created a board, and added some records to it, alongside fields for additional data.

It's not obvious to me how to use the calendar module using that board as a source. I don't have a way to see the existing records. I can create new records inside the calendar view, but when I look at that new record using the board, or using a sheet, the "Time" field disappears. The "Time" field appears only to be visible when looking at the records via that calendar.

Similarly, the to-do lists don't seem to map the "checked" nature of the boxes to any field on the record.

I would also like to be able to link to the record or embed its content in another page somewhere, but don't seem to see how.

It would be nice to be able to immediately link to (or embed) blocks/records by using `[[` or `@` instead of just documents. In particular, it would be nice for the quick search to yield blocks/records as you type, and not have to fall back to the advanced search.

Also, as an offline-first application, I would like to be confident the app is always fully synced - but after creating a few documents on my computer, then opening the first of them on my phone, I tried putting my phone into airplane mode, and once I'd done that I could open the other documents I'd opened before (great!) but when trying to open one of the others I'd created (that the app clearly knew about whilst it was online), it said "You're not connected to the internet".

But well done on a really awesome implementation of an awesome idea so far! I think it's very cool, and has a lot of potential.

How We Handle Cap Table Information
> But who cares about the internals if the display, the thing via which users operates and consume content on their phones, is absolute garbage on the SE3 for 2024 standards?

People who want an iPhone and aren't willing to spring another $170 for a better display, obviously. At least the SE should get another 4-5 years of OS support given its internals and Apples's support track record for OS support (5-7 years is typical at this point).

This display thing really seems to bother you a lot for someone who buys Android devices. Why do you care?
Sure, but that doesn’t really change the comparison of risks. Escalator rides, for example, are just plain old more dangerous than car rides regardless of why, just as car rides are just plain old more dangerous than train rides.
>Which... I largely don't care about. I understand why it's super important for academics, but in my book it's not a con or scam. It's accurate information.

This is not correct on a few levels, at least in the context of science. At the most basic, you're engaging in circular reasoning. You're accepting it's "accurate information" as a truism when the point of science is to discover what is actually "accurate information" in the absence of any oracles. Someone who is plagiarizing doesn't actually know whether what they're plagiarizing is accurate or not, by definition they haven't done the work. They don't know how it all connects together, and not only might what they're copying be wrong, they're more likely to introduce errors of context and omit qualifiers.

Tying into that is the issue of meta-information as well. One of the core foundations of science and assessing whether information is accurate or not is replication. A second/third/fourth/etc researcher independently reaching even 100% identical results is itself new information each time, even if conclusion is the same. More independent replication raises the chance of signal and decreases the chance that it was noise, some unaccounted for variables unique to a given lab or researcher. Everyone makes mistakes, but even with zero mistakes low probability things can happen in any single given experiment/study/place. Diverse distributed replication is a basic way to help discover/dismiss that.

A plagiarist in research is therefore, at a bare minimum, always engaged in a con/scam: they're claiming they have independently produced a result, which then adds to the weight and other people will be more likely to depend on. They have not.

Of course, they've also conned/scammed whatever money/time/resources anyone else contributed to them with the expectation of independent work and thus at a minimum new replication information. They took that, and then didn't follow through. It's fraud. And there is opportunity cost there since those are a zero-sum game, the resources that went to funding a plagiarist could have instead gone to fund someone honest who could produce something with actual ROI as expected.
Well, for me. I never care about this feedback thing. It is apparent from the situation that Boeing had enough feedback (and scrutinization) from everyone after lion air 610 and ethiopian 302.

The fact that they refuse to fix the problem after Lion 610, such that Ethiopian 302 faced the same fate, is, at least for me, horrendously wrong.
This seems like one of those examples of looking for a reason to be mad. They were hardly giving credit to Europeans for inventing curiosity.

>What does “state level powers” even mean?

In this case espionage and surveillance, traditionally domains of the state.

>What do you think they do that’s so above-and-beyond what a non-government organization should be able to do?

They're not subject to privacy legislation and limitations that the police is. There's a concrete exapmle of this, commercial storage of license plate data in the US is largely unregulated, so police units that have legal limitations on how long they can hold citizen data simply go to the private market and buy that data from those firms. That kind of circumvention of the law and outsourcing of responsibility is probably a large part of the Palantir business model.

Seems kind of insane to take your tax payer money and use it to buy surveillance data on you, a good chunk of which probably isn't even legal to otherwise collect and completely undermine the rule of law and democratic control of policing.
Some can do it. Are they really different than the rest?? Perhaps higher tolerance to stress or even thriving in it?
I always liken this process of reality being a fractal boundary of mandelbrot and our attempts to understand it through language and metaphors as a way to approximate and fit that boundary. Consider the successive colored stripes like a updated and accurate metaphors in the following video

Interesting project that could be very useful to anyone who needs graphical design for presentations/signs/logos. However, it needs a lot of improvement. In no particular order:

1. "Try AnyText for free" button does nothing.

2. It wasn't clear this was for generating images with text until I clicked the link. I thought it was a ChatGPT wrapper at first.

3. The header paragraph says far too much while meaning far too little. It should be formatted more like this: AnyText AI generates images with (really cool looking well designed text) so you can (usecase, usecase)

4. I discovered the Gradio UI by scrolling down. I was immediately overwhelmed with options and Chinese text.

5. The blog post was clearly generated by ChatGPT and contains no technical info that would be interesting to HN readers.

I have no idea how old your story is... but in any case, there has been an update: Cloudflare is now using lava lamps as "random numbers as a service", and the idea isn't new either, SGI ran it in the late 90s [2].

"The cerebellum may also inspire artificial-intelligence approaches somewhat, especially approaches to robotics or other control, in that it may be be beneficial to include a fast feedforward-only predictive modeling step to control real-time actions..."

This is pretty widespread in controls, actually. The dominant control technique for legged robotics is model-predictive control ("MPC") which explicitly uses such a predictive model to determine the best inputs to the actuators.
What I meant to say is that this is one of ways to do multiplatform ownership(in theory)!
Someone did order 4 such reactors a week ago [1]. It was China, and it was not AP1000, but Hualong One [2], a design that evolved from an indigenous design and a French reactor. China build 3 such reactors locally and 2 in Pakistan. 11 are under construction, not counting the 4 just ordered.

We seem to be quite advanced wrt edge cases that the wealthy and influential are concerned with. In the interests of a good humbling, however, a short list of issues that we haven't eradicated:

>Homelessness

>Hunger

>Slavery

>Genocide

As to our level of sophistication, also, a short list of scams that we've fallen for in living memory that have lead to civilization-level crisis:

>A bunch of guys learn how to fly planes so that they can crash them into buildings in order to draw us into a war.

>The aforementioned war.

>Banks sell people loans designed to default, sell insurance on those loans, get bailed out when the loans default and insurance is due on the failing loans.

>Governments promise that sort of shutting down in-person economic activity for 2 weeks will stop a disease with an infectiousness period of ~3 weeks that relies on person-to-person contact, while helping businesses that will benefit from an extended pandemic set up related operations

>Something something Eurozone austerity

And not in living memory, but rhyming nicely:

>A bunch of guys shoot a small-time royal in order to draw us into a war.

>The aforementioned war.
Again this is totally misleading.

The optimal amount of airline catastrophes is zero. It is also impossible.

For those interested in the Armstrong saga it's worth listening to his interview in the Peter Attia Drive podcast. For personal reasons that I won't go into here I still feel betrayed by his cheating and vindictive lying, but hearing about what has been doing since partially redeemed him in my eyes.

I happen to share a name with somebody in my family, and these risk-reduction facets literally cannot tell us apart. I've been told "wrong answer" when giving the right answer to questions about myself, but they're asking me questions about a different person, because again, having the same name is sufficient to get mixed up, apparently.
