Fair, but globally it causes something like 60 thousand deaths per year (out of 55 million or so). That’s nothing to sniff at, but certainly in the realm of something you are very unlikely to die from. For comparison, cardiovascular disease kills about 17 million people per year.

I would say a deputy director (making 200-300k a year, so not “priced out”) embezzling funds to furnish his personal accommodations is part of the problematic culture that leads to the kind of crap you described. People simply embezzle funds at all levels, much of it completely legal.
Those are nominal justifications. They reflect persuasive arguments (aka propaganda), not true beliefs and actions. The true beliefs and actions of the military and state bureaucracy for many decades has had an imperial focus that is crystal clear through the prism of action and belief.

I could cite the revealed preferences of many prominent figures in the military and state policy world: Rice, Power, Rumsfeld, Kissinger, Bolton, Nuland, etc. And those are just the people at the top; the hierarchy is stocked with true believers.
There’s something about having two independent Bluetooth headphones that makes them much more than twice as likely to get lost. And I suspect that part of it is having both ears blocked and thus needing to take one out much more frequently.

Also there are a disproportionate number of tech people who have ADHD, and multiple small objects do not just have a high probability of getting lost, they have a virtual guarantee of doing so. Multiple times before they are lost forever.

It is ridiculous that a well funded company asks a volunteer community to tell them how to comply with the license - after they have violated the license and used it for a marketing stunt.
Yeah hand carryable jammers are a thing you can find them for sale easily which kinda blows my mind considering there's (AFAIK) no legal use for them, nor even any grey area semi-valid use. Granted I've never bought one so maybe all the stores in Google results are fake but I doubt it.

Jammers also aren't super expensive and don't need to be supervised, it's entirely possible a thief could just leave a big one in a trash can or something and then abandon it.

All that said though I don't think this is a credible threat against anywhere with minimum legitimate security. Everything should be hardwired and battery backed up in any reasonable security system. It's mostly a thing that would effect cheap residential systems.
This is completely false. You’ve clearly not been around dying people with really painful diseases.

I’ve witnessed two elderly people in my family with cancer in severe pain just ride a morphine drip waiting in anticipation for death. The only reason they didn’t euthanize is because it isn’t legal.
"Racism" and "fascism" are just thought-terminating sneer words. Their meaning is totally context-dependent.

E.g. Some people think the lack of affirmative action is racism. Some people think the presence of affirmative action is racism.

Once you actually try to think about issues instead of label them, you'll realize that these are indeed matters of political ideology.

Go past the thought-stop sneer words and investigate what people actually want and mean.
Numba and Cython can speed up Python code dramatically.
Also, Python takes advantage of a lot of libraries which are C/C++/Rust at the their core.

In many cases, it is possible to get Python code to within 2-10x of C using numpy/numba/cython... but with 10% of the lines of code. In many cases, this is an acceptable trade.

It's okay to be bored. Boredom serves a purpose. When boredom is taken away from you, you end up not making an effort for anything worthwhile.

People worry about what (web caused) divisive propaganda, erosion of social skills, and attention grabbing is doing to us — and I agree those are all real and serious threats — but the lack of boredom is worries me the most.
It's worth remembering, there are two kinds of yes-men:

1) the sycophant who loves authoritarian institutions; the "true believers"

and

2) the young, brilliant visa holder who was the talk of his parents' social circle in Hyderabad three years ago when he graduated and was able to get on board at a household-name NorCal tech company, but who is now being abused by the employer who sponsors the thing that lets him stay in the US.

You'll always have type one; some humans simply love following a dolt. The second type is a result of our laws, and laws can be changed to keep people like Elon from taking advantage of workers.
The real value in Wasm is in the Web use case: bring to the most popular platform software that was impossible (or very difficult) to bring before.

Just look at Ruffle (Flash Player reimplementation), V86 (x86 virtual machine), Google Earth, ...

Wasm on the Server is a fad, and sadly it's hijacking resources and design space from the real thing. WASI being a prime example: because of the "Component model", any attempt at tighter integration with the Browser API stopped in the hope for a magical solution to all computing problems.
"- Python's dict is a fast unordered hashmap. However, if you need order-aware operations like C++'s std::map::lower_bound(), you're out of luck; Python's standard library doesn't have a tree implementation."

Value of land and cost of utilities.

If you want to build a 6 unit residential building in the Bay Area you first have to buy the land it will go on, and then build a building on it which will tie into and distribute utilities for electricity, water, sewage, and possibly gas.

The cost of finishing out each unit within goes on top of that foundation which already existing in this case, where the units were converted offices inside existing buildings already owned by Caltrain.

Maybe it should be easier to rezone and repurpose existing land and buildings into residential units. A lot of the regulations that hinder conversion of non-residential buildings into residential are there for good reason, for things like ventilation and fire escape. Regulations written in blood after previous tragedies.

Ask HN: Has anyone gotten the Iceland 'Long-term visa for remote work'?
Hi all,

I'm curious if anyone has used Iceland's new(ish) Long-term visa for remote work [1].

How was your experience applying?

How long did it take?

Any tips or tricks?

Thanks!

I feel like this goes both ways. You also don't want to have to run bleeding edge for everything because there are so many bugs in things. You kind of want known stable versions to at least base yourself off of.
I'm not sure I'd trust the ChatGPT number unless it shows its work. Is that inflation adjusted for your retirment age, adjusted for COL, including only the public pension or other parts, and what ages is it using?

An easy point of comparison is what the maximum benefit equates to in percentage of average gross income for the individual and what the taxes are for it. We see about 12% SS tax in the US and about 18% mandatory pension tax in Sweden (not counting the semi-mandatory). Benefit-wise we see earners at the ceiling getting about 30% in the US and about 20% from the mandatory portion in Sweden. Retirment ages are similar but about a couple years later for the US. Both systems have minimum retirement ages, survivor benefits, ceilings, and non-progressive fixed rates. I wasn't able to find any mention of the 15 year calculation. Also, the 59 1/2 retirment age you mentioned is not an option under SS nor Sweden's mandatory systems.

So yeah, it seems like the mandatory portion pays out less than SS, but might require fewer years of pay.

I'm not sure what criteria that we are using to determine if it's better as they seem very similar. If you want to work fewer years and get a smaller payout, that's possible under SS as well. If we want to include employer contributions as well, we would have to look at things like union employees, public sector employees, and employer contributions to DC plans in the US.

"I like that one’s retirement is funded by both the government and the employer, and optionally by the individual."

This isn't true. Participation by the individual is mandatory in either system. The only thing the government is covering under Sweden is in the event of childcare.

This is hilarious and we should definitely let this person hang their art in the museum, and the rules are it only gets taken down if the patrons notice something "out of place" about the art.

What do you feel he got too much of that he didn't have to struggle? I don't think it's wrong that pressure is sometimes formative, but also too much pressure will cause systems to fail; humans included. I had plenty of adversity as a child (an illness that has caused a lifetime of chronic pain), and what I learned is that there is no limit to the amount of pain life can provide you, and it doesn't mean anything, and no one really cares about it. I suspect a lot of us just realize early on that the nihilists are correct, and so trading video game skins is as meaningful as anything else, and at least it makes sense unlike most of life. Maybe the psychiatrists can find a drug that gives meaning though; they'll keep trying for awhile usually.

I assume you've asked him about what goes on in his head at least - what does he tell you?
Action at a distance, and across time.

I just read this article and have very conflicting feelings about it. It is clever, and the nice kind of clever that does not require one to be a mega-brain. On the other hand, it creates invisible and uncontrollable dependencies, such as the one you describe.

Another drawback: something is broken and I want to set a debug point in the code that fetches the CSV data. Unless you know about fsspec it will be hard to follow the breadcrumbs to know how this library injects itself into your code.

Thousands of mental health patients in England are being readmitted within a month of their initial discharge, highlighting significant challenges within the country's mental health care system.
>I think the main point is that it isn’t anyone else’s business how an individual chooses to spend their time.

Nah, it was sarcasm

>Absence some other criteria for concern, “I don’t like that they do this therefore they must stop doing it” is a line of thinking that desperately needs to be eradicated from human culture.

There are other criteria for concern, both empathy and concern for the invididual (other people recognizingt that living that way is destructive) but also concern for the general consequences in a society where people do those things.
Think of a ledger as a list of transactions.
Transactions are directed hyper-edges: they are composed of a set of credits and a set of debits. For each transaction, the sum of debits must be equal the sum of credits. "Double-sided" might be a better term. Also a DAG doesn't convey the historical aspect of a ledger, each ledger should be conceived as a sequence diagram lifeline. See temporal graphs: https://teneto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/what_is_tnt.html#add...

Going further with this model, you could introduce the notion of higher-order links between transactions to keep related entries together, for instance to link a correcting transaction to the corrected transaction, grouping recurring payments for a loan together and so on.

You could (should!) model this on top of a bitemporal database to overcome the painful limitation of the event sourcing model, namely that corrections aren't retroactive. Imagine you need to establish due taxes for the past year for certain ledgers in your database, and for some of them you performed corrections to transactions for that fiscal period after the fiscal period ended. With an event-sourced model (a single timestamp for each transaction), the corrections won't impact your tax calculations unless you explicilty track those corrections in your query. But with a bitemporal model (two time axis), you'll be able to record both the time when you made the correction and when it should apply in the past and you'll be able to query your database normally, without even thinking about it. This could also be used to perform corrections that remain invisible to your customers while being fully tracked in your db. Another case were this could prove to be useful is with transactions that are not immediate and can be rolled back. Typically in these situations, you move money from one ledger to a counterpart dedicated temporary outgoing ledger before the transaction is confirmed. This allows you to prevent double spending. Using a bitemporal model, you could get rid of these temporary counterpart ledgers provided you add a status field to your transactions.

That approach definitely has promise. I would have agents rate answers and take the highest rated rather than vote for them though, since you're losing information about ranking and preference gradients with n choose 1. Also, you can do that whole process in one prompt, in case you're re-prompting currently, it's cheaper to batch it up.
Ask HN: Crash course on current crypto ecosystem?
I've stayed away from crypto for years because I never really understood the hype and because other things seemed more pressing. But I've recently started digging into it and the more I see, the more confused I am.

There are so many opaque terms, memes, get rich quick courses. Not to mention that some of the fundamentals of markets and trading seem not to exist in the world of crypto trading.

I've bought and held some BTC in the past via Coinbase for shits and giggles but I really want to understand the world of crypto as it is today.

Are there any good resources (preferably video-based) that provide a high-level overview of the crypto ecosystem? The more technical the better but I want to clarify that I'm not looking for a "how does a blockchain work" course - there are plenty of those. Instead, I want to understand how all of the different pieces fit together (various blockchains, coins/tokens, NTFs, DeFi, wallets).

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! Perhaps I should spend a bit more time putting things into perspective. But I was just curious to get some answers on how much time people actually work. If I can get 50% of the money I'd get running a company, with 2hrs of work per week. I'd probably take that. I'm just not sure how common it is.
Double entry can track networth better. Instead of a single entry of recording 500$ paid for laptop, which decreases your networth by 500, in reality you still have 500$ worth of a laptop in your hand. You would also record the asset increase as a +500$ from gaining a laptop. Which reflects reality of your situation better.
Bleh, and I was just up until 1am last night reading about black-and-white PDF compression schemes for my Kobo :) Technical knowledge obsoletes so fast.

I think the reddit upvote downvote design is just one example of BAD UI that doesn't take into account the human element of the interface. Imagine if when you spoke with someone in real life, you added an upvote/downvote every sentence they said. This is why product designers need to be way more concerned with ethics than they are and companies need to give more respect to the product design role it is not just drawing pretty pictures you are shaping someones psyche.

Wonder if there was consideration given to mechanically moving mirrors to facilitate the light positioning rather than moving the light source itself. It may lend to modularity as well if you need to switch out light sources (LED to Laser) and could allow for more complex configurations like notch filtering to remove unwanted reflective wavelengths. My first guess is it may have been cost as mirrors and filters are expensive.

There's probably not a close analogy for Python; aside frim basic algorithmic things that transfer directly, there are some optimization gotchas in Python, but if you have real concern for optimization its about knowing the ecosystem and when to use native extensions (either existing ones or writing your own), not mostly about writing faster code in Python.
