I think it's very different when you grew up there and have significant family there, compared to if you are a transplant (even one with a decade under your belt). That extended family brings with it people moving between the cities, holiday visits to gather, etc. On my family's last couple of trips to Houston, we've included visits to Dallas to visit with other family members and I don't think it's that rare.

Plus, very few are even thinking of flying between the cities. Car ownership is high that flying to visit one of the other cities is definitely an edge case.
Apart from all the horribleness and knowingly mudering civilians the idea of a 9to5 soldier that performs military activity then goes home to his family, well within range of weapons and intelligence of the enemy and expecting he and his family will be safe there while he sleeps is a bit insane. I can't imagine any army hellbent on winning fast would pass up on that opportunity.

USA didn't exactly have much stricter conditions or way better accurancy of their intelligence. They did nothing qualitatively different. They just labeled anyone in the blast radious as unknown enemy combatants in the reports. And USA never had to operate at this volume. I guess that's just how modern war looks from the position of superior firepower.
Any dates before recorded/written history should be assumed to have a large margin of error, on the order of +/-500 years, especially true for all dates earlier than 1000 BCE. We don't have a precise way of dating. Carbon dating requires longer timescales and the writing substrates used (typically stone) contain minimal traces.

TBH I think it feels like it's starting to get a lot more "connected". For a long time, Austin was the outlier - very progressive and uniquely a tech center compared to the other cities. Over time, though, I think that has changed:

1. Pretty much all the cities in Texas are rather progressive now - like pretty much everywhere else it's an urban/rural divide now. Houston was the first city in the US with a lesbian mayor.

2. Austin is still the tech center, but I've started to see more companies (and people) move to Houston or Dallas as Austin has gotten ridiculously expensive.

3. You are correct about the wide expanses of nothingness in between the major urban/suburban areas, but I don't think that's quite critical to the author's thesis. That said, as Austin has gotten more expensive I lot of areas further out that I used to think of "nothingness" now have seen big booms. Lots of places between Austin and San Antonio in particular feel like they've exploded over the past decade.

4. One thing that I think that you're likely to miss from asking HNers is that, at least among people I know, there is much more "connectedness" among the cities between people and industries not in tech vs. those in tech. E.g. on the upper end folks I know in legal and banking travel fairly frequently between some of these cities, and on the lower end I know a bunch of Mexican immigrants that have friends and family spread out in San Antonio, Houston and Austin.

The big question in my mind is climate change. I've lived in Austin for a quarter century, and while our summers are always hot, last year was a new beast entirely - relentess week after week after week of 105-110 weather. I'm doing everything I can to get out of Austin in the summer now.

A charitable interpretation: GP's ancestors walked over the Bering land bridge?
It's very plausible. Keep in mind that from the get-go, the major global powers, (including Russia!) have adopted the mindset of Israel can do no wrong, and we can't criticize them at all

Israel could glass the entire Gaza strip and the reaction would be a slap on the wrist at best.
4chan.

Hear me out:

No sane person would accept business opportunities presented there as anything other than a scam. Since this keeps people from engaging with potential scams, scams cannot actually work as scams. Thus, scammers are relegated to simple sh*tposting.
So, I agree with you, but as a counter anecdote - I was subscribed to Nebula for ~2 years, and I barely used it because there was no algorithm telling me what things it thought I'd like. Even when I had a topic in mind that I was interested in (mega projects as a random example) I'd get low 100s of results, many from creators I had never heard of, and the ones I chose to watch would typically be from creators I knew from YouTube which of course, were presented to me by "the algorithm".

While I agree it's harmful to the web to be essentially under control of a very small number of mega corporations, even when you actively avoid them like I did in my nebula example, it's not clear what the solution to content discovery is (and of course, google et al don't really stop you from consuming content you already know about which is my problem with the original article)
When the CEO of Microsoft starts claiming insane things like “AI is a bigger invention than fire and electricity” it’s a huge red flag that investors are rabid and not based in reality.

What a strange article. The premise seems to be that 3M floppies were better formulated than others, but the author never actually discusses their quality directly, or anything close.

3M floppies were pretty rare in my experience.

Almost nothing is more dangerous to my winning chances than exiting the opening with a small material or positional advantage. Opponent is now incentivized to attack ferociously, and I'm left struggling to figure out the safest way to convert without playing too passively but also not over-pushing.
Yes, but they don't fab their own RAM. It's a cost center for them.
Well, yes. But it's also something you can do once. When (not if) it comes out, all credibility is lost.

>>It's rather unfashionable these days to bring up the fact that Hamas purposely disguises themselves as civilians and operates almost exclusively from civlian buildings, and makes sure their compounds aren't separated from civilian infrastructure.

And yet, somehow I still feel like the answer to this problem still isn't "authorizing up to 15-20 civilian deaths for every enemy militant killed" as mentioned in the article.
Voice is pretty expensive unfortunately. We pay around $10 cents per minute for the voice interaction. LLM calls not included.
A lot of jurisdictions do maintain a beneficial owners database (e.g. Companies House in the UK maintains a list of all companies) but often these are not public. For example the ECJ recently made these illegal in the EU (see e.g. https://www.ft.com/content/e4b31a4e-a79d-40f7-8a19-c1e451a95...).

As it only takes one nuke, my assumption is that anyone with nukes and ICBMs can take out a power grid or grids spanning any region the size of the continental USA.

On that basis, yes, you could also take out the Russian or Chinese grids this way.

North Korea could also perform such an attack.

I assume the UK can too; although I don't know the maximum altitude of a Trident SLBM, the maximum range suggests it could well be great enough for this mode of attack.

Non-nuclear EMPs do exist, but you should probably ignore them at this point unless you're actively working in that field, given all the easier solutions in EW including simple jamming.

The cost of providing such mechanisms and properly securing them against abuse have to be weighed against the benefit. In order to know the benefit, we need to know the size of the problem we are seeking to solve, and whether or not the proposed system would actually solve the problem. So yes, knowing the size of the problem matters a lot, and is a good first step to running a cost benefit analysis.
Even if all US billionaires’ wealth is confiscated today it will not even pay for 6 months of the 2024 US federal budget. So no, the problem isn’t high individual wealth.

It is a big difference, that maverick will require 4 gallons to go 100 miles, while the F150 3/4 of a gallon more. It means 19% more greenhouse gasses per mile.
I saw that. It's the tragedy of Google in a nutshell: Great things are being worked on in some departments, but organizational dysfunction virtually ensures that the majority of them will not end up in users' hands (or at least not for long).

You forget the web browser standards had to be extended to add support for a lot of that stuff I mentioned:

- built-in support of USB webcam (for video conferencing)

- WebGL for video games

- XMLHTTPRequest to support active pages (email, calendar, etc)

- <canvas> for arbitrary 2D image (image editors, etc)

My point is that this stuff was not necessary either to simply "browse the internet". Browsers constantly evolve to provide more and more complex features beyond browsing.
Serious question: is making a joke frowned upon on HN?
Jumping out of nested loops. Implementing higher level constructs like yield or defer. State machines. Compiler output that uses C as a "cross-platform" assembly language.

All of them are better served with more specialized language constructs but as a widely applicable hammer goto is pretty nice.

I don't expect C to have good error handling or generators any time soon but with goto I can deal with it.

Just for the sake of completeness: do you think the customers of your family member's business have any informational rights to know to whom they are giving their money to? If not, Does that lack of a right translate to every other company? How do you reconcile 'vote with your dollar' without knowing who you are voting for?

I agree that is a sensitive issue - but only in so far as 'gotta cover their ass' from a conservative job... which is... a weird place for a sex-toy designer to be... (which raises far more questions about the quality of toy-design if it isn't supporting a livelihood). Appeasement to conservatives is rarely a good strategy... appeasement through omission of data about who they are hiring seems like your family member put themselves in this precarious situation on their own volition. Everyone's got to eat, though, so can't be too bothered :)

But hiding who you are: feels morally dubious and self serving in that case you present.

The manuals I've looked at say something like "don't open it without power, it may damage things. If you have to open it without power, be careful."

At least the Kia mentions non-power doors, so even if not available in the USA they're made somewhere for some market. If you really wanted to, you could probably import the parts and swap.

You can't have an article about the dying Earth genre and not mention The Book of the New Sun by Gene Wolfe.

The novel is deep and mysterious, involving — among many other things — a far-future Earth in which aliens have placed a black hole inside the sun.

TBF, I think this is more of scale problem for medium to larger traffic companies than startups. I've seen this become especially acute when you're transition from a small or medium company and have started to hit those growth curves, and you get socked with these surprise bills. Something that was a tiny line item suddenly becomes... bad.

Yes, without shred a doubt or hesitation.

Germany and Japan were killing millions of innocents in WW2. Not only that, but those killings were entirely unnecessary.

At least with Israel I can give some of the benefit of the doubt that their civilian casualties have some strategic outcome. You cannot say the same of Germany and Japan in WW2.

(please be charitable to the above; there is a lot of nuance here; I don't want to explicitly spell it all out. look at my other comments if you want to know my views)

I think that no matter your view on the mafia or Hamas, it still doesn't justify the amount of death and destruction that is being done in Gaza. No matter how you spin it or sugar coat itw killing, displacing and starving civilians, killing aid workers and journalists and destroying civilian infrastructure are war crimes. As for the Al-Shifa Hospital, Israel's SWAT is either incompetent or not a SWAT team at all judging by the length of the operation, 2 weeks, and the photos of the Hospital after they left.
Jesus. Perhaps showing my ignorance but I'm surprised by the amount of overlap these board members have across major companies.
Yeah but it’s a 77 minute flight. That’s one thing that always catches me off guard when I’m in an airport in Texas: the number of intra-state flights is massive. With pre-check and valet parking, you really can make it from door to door in about 2hrs.
I paired mine with VSCode and used the live view addon for that folder.

I think the point is to, instead of being on the lookout for the winning strategy, put more of your limited attention on preventing basic mistakes. It's about shifting focus, presumably, there's a baseline of competence in the endeavor at hand.
These things all help, but ultimately reduction of blunders is the result of consciously checking whether you're blundering something, not being a genius calculator. Most blunders in chess (outside of the higher-levels) aren't the result of failing to see some 5-move tactical sequence, they're just hanging a rook because you were hyper-focused on your own initiative. Controlling your blunder rate is IMO a game of attending to your own mental state: ensuring that you're giving proper consideration to your opponents threats, being realistic about your advantages, and preventing your imagination from running away on you. Obviously study and puzzles can help you do these things more effectively (for example making you more likely to pick up material when your opponent blunders), but they are a necessity not a sufficiency. At the end of the day 'not blundering' is about staying humble, playing slowly, and not freaking out; everything else is points on the margin.
To be honest, at Google scale, if there's an objectively good new codec with some early signs of excitement and plausible industry traction, and even Apple managed to deploy it to virtually all of their devices (and Apple isn't exactly known as an "open codec forward" company), not integrating it does seem like either malfeasance or gross organizational dysfunction to me.

Fascinating. An interesting part of that document:

Which would contradict my guess: They're actually going after self-centered buyers, not necessarily angry, belligerent ones.

I once wrote a 16-bit assembler as a recursive function, which emitted code and fixed data on the way down and patched in relative offsets on the way back up.

In principle, one might worry about blowing the stack, but as the sole purpose of this function was to assemble at most a half-k boot sector, in practice they fit.
I designed WebP lossless and implemented the first encoder for it. Zoltan who did most of the implementation work for jpegli wrote the first decoder.
That living in a society entails some costs but the nice things that come with it are on balance worth those costs?

And just to be clear, different societies differ on where they put that marker. Canadians believe in free hospital visits but not (yet) in free drugs, dental, or vision care. Most westerners believe in free fire and police, free schools, and free roads to drive on. Some people are starting to experiment with food and basic housing also being human rights and therefore free, though that's not yet widespread.

A lot of Americans are okay with occasional airline bailouts if it means cheaper ticket prices. So we're definitely okay with taking some things from people for the sake of investing in transportation infrastructure (roads, bridges, parking lots, airports). Just... not for trains.
