> both objectively much more than the phone is worth

I'd say $1000 is subjectively more than it should be worth, objectivity would be indicated by what the same phone could be acquired for by some other means; $800 for last year's model seems fair if it was initially priced at $1000. Whatever Apple is going to give you for your 1 year old Macbook or phone is just a laughably low amount aimed at the lazy rich and other stupid consoomers who deserve a bad deal if they'll go for it anyway.
Sorry — HADD is "Hyperactive agency detection device", which is the human tendency to attribute agency (the capacity to act or to have intent) to things without agency. It's associated with outcomes like anthropomorphism, superstitions, conspiracy theories, and even religions.

I hate how there's at least one discussion about how a clinically insane man on a disability check that got hit by a train said the n word and did insane things. I know that and his OS is what's best known about him but I really want people to not think about the former when discussing about the latter. Why would that even matter?

> I'm still shocked that they went with HFS+ for so long, for all its shortcomings.

At the same time, it's impressive that the basic design of HFS held up as well as it did! HFS was initially introduced in 1985, and HFS+ was a fairly conservative update to support larger volumes (and, later, metadata journaling).

> There was talk about ZFS at one point, but it never happened - maybe due to licensing.

That seems very likely. Apple's experiments with ZFS ended around 2009, right about the same time that Oracle finalized their acquisition of Sun.
I disagree. It usually does for me.

Depending on your appetite for Intuit, Oracle, and Salesforce products, they have marketing email suites that do exactly this. It might be a bit expensive/heavier than what you want.

Otherwise I used Mailtrain with a small team and it worked ok. We used git for source code tracking for the designers and then the CMS for small changes.

I covered this. I think that:

I just truly don't think this sort of thing is as common as the cynical-people-on-the-internet crowd seems to take it as obvious fact to be. I think it's more often reached for as a convenient simpler explanation for human behavior that is actually more complex and nuanced.
Waste Mesh Networks – With a New Waste Client
There is a newer WASTE p2p in town.

Its been updated in many areas, if anyone is still using it.

You can grab it from the URL and start transferring GB and over 100MB per sec if you can supply the bandwidth.

Oh... it also does conference voice too. A nice addition to the original.

Does anyone still use it though ?

Sounds somewhat reminiscent of the Terry Gilliam film Brazil. Basically a fly dies and gets caught in a teletype machine, causing the name on an arrest warrant to be misprinted. This snowballs into all sorts of darkly humorous and depressing hijinks.

These are all concrete things! That's great, but to say that they constitute "leadership", as if these are the same things an Army Captain or CEO should do, does not clarify anything, but merely clouds things. If leadership means something different in every context where it arises, it doesn't mean anything at all. Anyway I don't think we're arguing, just speaking at different levels of generality. I admit this is a poor forum to make this semi-anarchist point.

The big problem with all these chip companies, is that the USA doesn't have them really anymore, they were all outsourced and the talent pipeline doesn't really exist here. If talent did exist, these companies would already exist here.

Look at how most promotions for years at Intel were given to MBA/financial manipulators and they had to bring back Gelsinger just to have a modicum of legitimacy.

The talent here won't put up with any outsourced company's indenture expectations.

Isn't the problem with these missile defense systems that the per-unit cost is very high? And so in a longer term battle (like Russia vs Ukraine) one side can drain the other's defenses and $$ through the continuous use of cheap drones where the cost of the missile defense rocket far exceeds the cost of the sent drone?

That's cool if it works for you. You mention a tinnitus "flare".

I was born with "glue ear" (diagnosed at age ~six I think). That's a lot of rubbish medical nonsense I gather. Anyway, regardless of what is the current "Medifacts" I have tinnitus and it was probably exacerbated by all the instruments that were stuffed in my ears.

I had two lots of "gromits" - tiny tubes stuffed into my eustacean tubes under general ana ... oh for fucks sake, why can't medics and doctors n that speak English. Law courts have dispensed with Latin and Greek, why can't medics?

Tinnitus is generally consistent in my experience - the surrounding environment within my body allows it to flow in and out of my conscious experience depending on what I'm up to.

For me the intrusiveness is generally related to my blood pressure and a few other things.

Show HN: User Simulator – a tool that turns your users into chatbots
My name is Hussain and I made a tool called User Simulator. I have been writing software tools for many years and end up spending a lot of time trying to understand my users with interviews, market research and analyzing metrics. So I wrote this tool to turn my users into chatbots so I can ask them questions directly.

The current version is a Chrome extension that allows you to turn the LinkedIn profiles of your target users into chatbots in 1 click. It collects information about them from various public sources in the background to complete their profile. You can ask both straight and speculative questions like "Which dev tools do you currently use in your engineering job?" or "Will my product solve your problem?"

What I have noticed is that not only can it answer my questions as reasonably as a real user, it exceeds them in clarity. It's like having your target user with you at all times.

In the future, I plan to write integrations that can pull data from analytics tools such as Posthog and add it to the user profile, if the user is already onboarded on your products/apps.

Give it a try and let me know what you guys think. I'd love to hear your suggestions and feedback.
Hmm, yeah maybe it sort of breaks the before/after model. We're over here because the war happened, and would be over there if it hadn't.

Sorta depends if progress means being ready to repel a hostile alien invasion, or if it means being capable of large scale cooperation on geoengineering projects in the face of biosphere collapse, or you know... whatever other can-you-survive-this test comes our way.
I would suggest that the answer to that is "yes" in that the Spinozan God is... for lack of a better word the Universe.

(Ethics was one of the hardest reads I had back in modern philosophy class)

And while it is a gross simplification of Ethics, from news://rec.humor.funny ( https://everything2.com/title/Existence+of+the+System+Admini... )

1. The System Administrator is defined as the most perfect user possible.
2. The property of necessary existence means that anything which possesses it must necessarily exist.
3. If existence is better than non-existence (see the ontological proof), then necessary existence is better still.
4. Any perfect user must possess the property of necessary existence.
5. Therefore the System Administrator must necessarily exist.

However:

6. Being perfect, the System Administrator cannot make mistakes, delete the wrong account, trash the root directory, mess up a tape load, etc.
7. Being perfect, the System Administrator can not be capable of goal-directed action, because such action would imply that the network is somehow less than perfect in its current state.
8. Therefore, the System Administrator is really more of a force of nature within the system.
9. Arguably, then the System Administrator *is* the system itself.

Counter-argument:

1. None, since the System Administrator has been defined to the point where it is a totally useless concept, there's no point in arguing.

At least this resolves one of the major issues: the Spinozist argument proves that *if* the System Administrator does exist, it cannot be intelligent.

I'm allergic to implications that social spending isn't enough, or that military spending is immune to criticism because "of course it will pan out".

The US cannot assume it will be a continued military leader ipso facto. If we fall significantly behind countries with desire for world domination and a hate for democracy, we will be on the receiving end of massive cyber attacks and drone swarms.
Same here. Windows was my daily driver until Windows 7, but I stopped using any Windows platform as of Windows 10 because of the telemetry and spyware. I don't care how snappy Windows is, I'm not returning until they provably cut out all the spyware by default. I don't care if you can turn off a lot of the telemetry using a hundred little commands, registry settings, and menus. It should be off by default. Really, how is anyone OK with Windows sending every keystroke you type to Microsoft (for spell checking apparently) under the standard install of Windows?

I feel that macOS is unfortunately getting out of hand with telemetry as well.
The explanation is a bit lengthy, but the idea is simple.

Consider the normal naive way to search for a string in a document. First you search for the next instance of the first letter of your search string, then try to match the entire string at that position. If the match fails then you advance your search position by one character and repeat (looking for next occurrence of first letter, etc).

The Knuth-Morris-Pratt algorithm improves upon this naive approach by usually advancing by more than one character after a failed match, thereby speeding up the search. It does this by taking advantage of its knowledge of the search string and the position at which the match failed.

To get the idea, consider searching for the string "explosion" .. first we find the next "e", then try matching the rest of the word. Say we match "explo" then fail (perhaps the document had "explode"), so now we want to start over and find the next "e" in the document... What KMP would do here is note that the document matched the first 5 letters "explo", none of which (other than 1st letter) are an "e", so it can advance by 5 characters, not just 1, to start looking for the next "e".

The amounts it can advance at each failed match position are pre-calculated to be efficient.
Knock them down and build a dense micro city for human scale. That's how humans live, we don't want to live in a high-rise and have to commute by car for a coffee. Use European cities as an example, Mix it with more density in a cleaned up Kowloon Walled City model.
People were (rightly) critical of the notion that missile defense was something the United States could rely upon to survive a nuclear war.

Scientists pointed out that this is a dangerous strategy, and that non-proliferation and arms reduction treaties were the only sane way to avoid nuclear annihilation. There is no amount of technology that is going to save Europe and the US in an all out nuclear war.

Theatre missile defense is another story. Systems like the S-400, the Patriot missile system and David's Sling can quite effectively protect a region from a variety of conventional aerial threats. They have been dutifully doing their job since the 1990s and are improving.

Youtube makes tons of money. The issue with twtich is all the viewers are young and terminally online so they have adblock.
> I would say, between the two, allowing someone to lose money is a better outcome than making it likely that someone will be beaten while being imprisoned against their will.

That is tactical thinking as opposed to strategic thinking. What if 1000 beatings saved 10000 beatings and saved 100000 little old ladies from being scammed out of thousands of dollars. Making the scam industry unprofitable is more important than making it profitable to avoid some violence. No matter what, someone has to sacrifice, why not sacrifice where the end goal eliminates the problem rather than exacerbates it?
They can

1. require two employees PLUS an agent on the phone to do it.

2. call the desired number and speak to whoever answers and ask if they're aware the number will be ported

3. have a 24-hour period to try to reach someone at that number before the swap occurs.

4. Offer a very large bounty ($10,000 or more) for providing evidence that a co-worker is taking bribes
Also, I walked into an electronics store the other day and could tell between an iPhone and a Samsung phone anymore. Everything looks the same. They got the “iPhone look” market covered.
"The countries where most of the world's population lives" is another funny metric like Francophone Africa. Most of the world's population lives in countries that have very little to contribute in the first place, because poverty and fertility are directly associated. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, but what aid do you expect from their tiny military that has no tanks, no air defense and no artillery to speak of?

While countries in the Ramstein contact group supporting the defence of Ukraine represent only 15% of world's population, they produce the majority of global economic output. I'd say that's a far more meaningful metric.

So again, why is that the more free, developed and productive a country is, the less they support Russia?

I’m guessing they’ll come up with cheaper solutions for shahed type drones, as they are slow and comparatively easier to shoot down.

Works great, except (1) I cannot suspend the computer and making it to turn off the screen, else it won't turn on again; and (2) and the most irritating one, at random times at boot, the screen will refuse to turn on. I've done all sorts of weird tricks to make it turn on but everything involved restarting the computer and never thought about unplugging/plugging the monitor again.

Thank you so much for the heads up and to the person who posted this again.
An LLM like ChatGPT “knows” more than either than us on a very large amount of topics. Not human knowledge, but some kind of knowledge.

And there’s no reason why the concept of intuition is limited to humans. Again, not human intuition.

Our artificial constructs are not going to be completely like their biological analogs but they can indeed express certain qualities and have certain shared abilities.

Money-the-abstraction can be created out of thin air. The things actually needed to launch or defend against a missile attack (machines with complicated mechanical and electronic parts) need to be manufactured. They can't be created out of thin air.

That's the value proposition. At least don't make people re-enter their address and employer information again. (unless it changed, obviously)
Totally fair, I think. My assertion would probably be restated best as "don't expect straight forward answers to the direct question of what is the best of each." I do specifically called out that network effects were the biggest pro of Markdown, and oddly the biggest con of org-mode. But, my main point in doing that is that I doubt most of the fans of either would list that.

Obviously some of us would, such that I could easily be wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. :D
I've wondered too if it was automatic or something dang runs (or triggers) manually. It seems like it only runs on a small percentage of them, usually the more popular stories, so I tend to think it requires some manual intervention on his end.
In general I would agree with trying to use these easements for actual rail transit projects, but from Mendocino county north, this is really very sparsely populated territory.

It's just not a black or white situation. Although, it does also beg the question of how will people get there to walk/bike on this trail?

In Sonoma and Marin, there's a lot more opportunity for rail transit I think, say for serving people commuting into SF, as well people traveling to the remote north coast for recreation. That whole area is really poorly served now, even bus service is scarce.

For anyone who's traveled in Japan, it's such a sad sight to see lack of high speed rail in California, and the main obstacle is obtaining the easements. So, I think both sides of this argument are understandable.

My first thought is to eliminate the binary logic. We don't just have 2 choices. Why not have both? Electric light rail with a pedestrian/bike path next to it...
> Mix it with more density in a cleaned up Kowloon Walled City model.

I don't think anyone can really do Kowloon Walled city right. Living in a high rise works, you don't need to commute by a car for a coffee, why do you think HK is like that? Very few people have cars, coffee shops are all around, and public transit is good.

Yes, the next time you go to buy a computer or mobile phone you should just skip it because it's a scam. Just manufacture and assemble the hardware yourself and create the operating system/ecosystem of apps while you're at it. It just pure laziness not too. Or maybe consider that capitalism and the division of labor benefits you massively.
