You underestimate how much vitriol is coming from the Right about Democratic-leaning cities. Baltimore is 60% Black and voted 87% for Biden in 2020. Baltimore isn't on the top of the list of cities they like to claim are failures, but just wait.

Econ is a notorious "nothing and everything topic" (not being fair here, but economists also talk about this). It doesn't really fit anywhere. It's not very practical to study scientifically.

I don't want to insult Sociologists here, but economics can be very much like sociology for money issues.

It's intuitive that replication would be terrible in economics (not taking a shot at you for not "realizing"; we don't think about every subject in the world).

What you really want to do is take one society, run it for 5-200 years. Then go back in time, take the same society, and try again with one small change. In practice, you might need to repeat many times because you would expect chance to change such a complicated system (butterfly effect).

"In practice"... listen to me, I'm being absurd. This is clearly impossible. Of course there's ways to try anyway, but they're all known to be "bad science".

My only problem with this (and every other) game on Linux is that it always, always wants to start on my portrait screen, which invariably screws things up. It never starts on my landscape screen, even if that's set as primary.

Titanic was a “triple screw steamer,” meaning it had three propellers - port, center and starboard. The port and starboard propellers were capable of being reversed, while the center propeller could only propel forward. You can see this in the 1997 movie as they show the props when they throw the ship into reverse.

The center prop (that only goes forward) is the one directly behind the rudder, so the theory is partly that they lost some steering advantage when they lost the center prop.

This came up in one of the articles:

Korea has a strong Catholic presence with a unique history. Unlike in many Asian countries, the Korean people became Christian prior to the arrival of any missionaries. They learned about the Bible on their own and “self-converted” before seeking instruction from missionaries in China.

For what it’s worth, other flavors of Catholicism and Christianity evolved outside of Rome’s oversight or with very limited contact. I’m thinking in particular of some of the east African sects, as well as Celtic outposts in Ireland and Scotland in the Dark Ages.

> Modern modulation techniques are insanely efficient. It's amazing that mobile phones work.

There's old modulation techniques that are crazy efficient too - the most obvious one being GPS. A small antenna, just 2cm short [1], is all you need to pick up and distinguish from each other the signal of up to a dozen different GPS and dozens of other (GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou) navigation satellites. This is mind-blowingly nuts.

For modern high-bandwidth communication, microwave point-to-point links can achieve 65km range with barely 4 watts of RF energy - e.g. German Telekom's Skylink system connecting an aviation radio transmitter on the island of Helgoland with the continental backbone at Cuxhaven [2]. And actually that is way more power than required, half a watt is enough but they chose to go for higher power to achieve perfect reliability even in worst-case conditions [3] (does make sense, given how safety-critical flight radio communication is).

If all you need is satellite communication for a few bytes of information, a cellphone can send an emergency message to satellites anywhere on this planet (at least, where regulatory clearances allow for that) [4].

Thank you for having morals and giving this away to the community. Governments already have enough power that they don’t need more. I respect this very much, it’s hard to find people on hacker news who aren’t dyed in the wool capitalists.
The origin of Unitarians as a movement is fairly instructive. The Congregationalists (descendants of Puritans, kind of) were hard-core Reformed and determinists with a very strict view of God. They ended up not believing it was possible to know whether you were a true Christian ("Elect") since God decides and is inscrutable.

Within about a generation, most Congregationalists became Unitarian Universalists, which is strongly linked to uncertainty over eternal blessedness/damnation. (Generalizing the history quite a bit, TBH.)

That assumes (at the very least) that any data gathered from such an "experiment" would be representative of what the effects of such legislation would be elsewhere.

Perhaps... but my guess is that repeatability wouldn't depend on the children but on the wants and needs of the governing politicians.

That is, the data would, in my view, likely be worthless for its purported goal, but can give some insight into some political shenanigans.

I replied to you because you made the implication much more direct in your wording, but the implication is wrong. I'm not saying it's your opinion, you just made it easier to reply to.

OP was saying not to validate as part of your normal pipeline. They weren't saying not to validate ever, such as while poking around or testing, which is how you could still figure out that bad utf-8 exists and where it is coming from.

> And even if you don't validate on the hot path, it doesn't hurt to do it faster, so I don't understand why one would be against a more efficient computation.

It's not about being for or against the speed of calculation. It's that removing unnecessary calculations is even faster. So questioning the need is good.

If 'hot path' was unclear and you think I'm making things up, let me try a different wording. As a hypothetical: If I don't think something needs to be validated in production, I might question a library dedicated to doing it really fast, and say your producers should be fixed instead. Me saying that doesn't mean I think you should be stumbling around blind, never testing those producers.
Hard agree. I think making significant progress on this problem would be time consuming - but ultimately a significant win for society.
> Nuclear power was “shovel ready” by 1960. The unpredictable fundamental research was done and the “investment” that remained was to build power plants.

Shovel-ready, perhaps. But consistent-safe-operation-ready? Highly debatable.

(Source: In the 1970s I was a Navy nuclear engineering officer, qualified among other things as [chief] engineer officer aboard the eight-reactor aircraft carrier USS Enterprise during three years of sea duty there. I became convinced that the then-existing pressurized-water-reactor designs simply weren't safe around populated areas because of the possibility of cascading human error — see, e.g., Three Mile Island and Chernobyl — and the potentially-catastrophic nature of a black-swan event. Relatedly, I'll be interested to see what the cause of the loss-of-power accident was aboard the container ship that dropped the bridge in Baltimore.)

Streaming Online Costs a Lot of Cellular Data- It's Been Trashed
In my startup (Optimalvid) we are building an online movie streaming platform for students and professionals where they can stream movies online without cellular data.

This came as an idea after I sat and discussed with friends of mine who stream movies and I constantly heard one pain point "what the fuck! I still gat to pay a lot for cellular data even after my Netflix subscription ?"

Having heard this repeated I knew it was a problem needed to be solved to bring convenience to the visual entertainment world and we are working on that.

Note: We are still yet to push the last/complete development of our MVP to the repo and finally host to the server. You can try it out at this stage and give a feedback.

I will also like to hear your take on your use of streaming platforms and what difficulty you experience and want fixed? Do you think Optimalvid is solving your problems you encounter while using streaming platforms?

Exceptional.

Morally: Yes. The US has attacked other countries more than any other one has.

Technologically: The US used to be great but in the Space Race which was the US's technological zenith, it is now lagging far behind. It had to buy Russian rocket engines. For ten years or so, it couldn't put a man into orbit. After inventing solid-state, it can't manufacture the most-advanced semiconductor chips any more, China does that.

Economically: What's to say? A country with a Debt of 35-odd trillion dollars is not doing well economically.

Politically: When continuous warfare and lawfare between all the US elites is destroying US political stability, the US is certainly Politically Exceptional and not in a good way. Just the fact that the next US election candidates are Trump and Biden shows that. Surely there are better candidates available out of 350 million people, than those two.

As a European it makes me sad to read this.

As a non-European, but somebody who was proud to be "almost-French" while living in France for several years, it makes me sad to see that Europe, which could have been a superpower in its own right seems to take delight in putting another country's interests before its own, especially by killing the European economy, while watching that economy and political freedom disappearing from under its nose, and doing nothing to reverse that trend. Very sad.
Distros are a bit like a matter of taste; I use Debian Server. First, practice locally on an old laptop, thin client, Raspberry Pi, or whatever you have. Proxmox LXC is very useful for quickly bringing up a new instance in case you mess up.

UFW is an easy-to-use firewall. Use Docker with a reverse proxy (Traefik/Nginx). You can VPN into your server and close nearly all ports with that.

Try my installer script: diy-smart-home.ei23.com. You can also use it to built an regular dockerized server. Happy learning!

What about them? They’re not being forced into that, most are having to fight tooth and nail to be heard and to get access to the treatment. You very clearly have no idea what’s going on with trans kids. Modern trans healthcare has nothing to do with people in the past being sterilized as punishment.

OTOH, this law is actually being forced on minors, even if they’re not in what you consider a punishable minority.

Also, presuming you’re an adult, do you mind telling me exactly why you care so much about children being sterilized? It is a shockingly disturbing concern and makes me question your intentions in white knighting for the childbearing capability of children you do not know.

The only people on earth that should matter to are the kids themselves, their parents, or their future partners, whom they will be able to choose, based on a willingness to beget children.

Unless you are their parent (their parent, NOT _A_ parent) or a minor’s future partner, in which case you are a groomer, you should really stop caring about what minor children you don’t know are doing with their body. It’s fucking creepy.
I've always wondered if we could potentially use genetic engineering to open up new possibilities for food. Would it be possible to make some inedible foods edible this way? For instance, what if you could make non-poisonous death cap mushrooms or nightshade berries?
I sense that surf enthusiasts manage to monetize web properties for the surf community more readily than other enthusiast communities.

I remember surfline very early on in the life of the public internet, having a pay model sometime in the mid-90s, when many other websites were still completely free or ad-sponsored. (granted, it existed as a pay-per-call service started in the mid-80s)

The encyclopedia of surfing here is another example.

Granted surfing is attracted to people who live on the coasts, and tends to attract a well-heeled crowd.
Right question, if you consider to create service for creating web apps (like a SaaS) or mobile apps, or something else entirely.

Because if you make business, not app-creation studio, you will soon see, what really need your clients, probably create one SaaS, one mobile app, and after that will just forget this side of activity, and focus on leadgen and retention.

> Piracy wasn't a big factor, since very very few people had broadband and CD-R drives in 2000.

Piracy of CD based games in the late 90s most assuredly did not require broadband or personal ownership of a CD-R drive. A lot of piracy happened via SneakerNet. As long as you knew someone with games (legit or pirated copies) and a CD-R drive you could get your own copies for the cost of a CD-R disc. Every college had at least one person with a CD binder full of CD-Rs of pirated PC and console games. I suspect a majority of high schools at the time did as well. Dorm ResNets were also loaded down with FTPs and SMB shares filled with games, porn, and warez.
From the individual level, obviously the US and its allies are the freest countries in the world. US adversaries are basically all obvious tyrannies of one form or another.

But US allies are not "free" in the sense that they can't do something that the US really doesn't like. Japan's government, for example, would not be trying to repeal its pacifist constitution unless they had the US's blessing to re-militarize.

Basically, there are 2 different senses in which a country can be called "free". But even in the individual liberty sense, a libertarian (either of the Ron Paul or Noam Chomsky variants) would not consider the US or any of its allies to be free and acting like they are libertarian countries is a good way to become a martyr.

From personal experience with a teenager - you can't stop it. They get a device from their friend, they are easy to find. They keep them hidden, and you only find them by being a total snoop and seeing new devices popup on your wifi network. Or, they only use them at friends houses on their wifi, etc.

I don't think half the people commenting in this thread have even one single clue about any of this, from real world experience. You can do everything right on your end, but they sit with their friends on their devices when not around your house.
