"The Mars colony would produce [service/good] to generate income sufficient to pay for the colony's upkeep / expansion."

Let's assume the colony itself is built by some idealist willing a trillion dollars to the project or something. Now that you have a base on Mars, how do the inhabitants pay to keep it going? Self sufficiency is too far fetched at this stage so they need regular supply shipments from Earth, so they need income of Earth currency.
The only people claiming they want to fight a "tyrannical government" as their justification for dick extensions are the people who routinely try to remove the rights of others, and are the same people who have repeatedly tried to use force to overthrow the elected government when their candidate lost.

Parroting that nonsense, when everyone knows that the reason they want unrestricted access to guns is just that they're idiots that made having guns their personality.

The 2nd amendment says "A well regulated Militia", but the "I need guns to compensate for personal issues" people say you can't have any regulations or rules that would in anyway require the to actually be mentally or physically capable of supporting a free State. Again, the group of people arguing for the definition of the 2nd amendment that gives unrestricted access to guns are the people who routinely and consistently opposed the "free State" the 2nd amendment is ostensibly for, hell they generally oppose the 1st, 5th, 8th, 15th, 24th, and 28th amendments, so any proclaimed absolutism about their support for the constitution is dubious at best. I'd make a claim based on current commentary that these groups don't support any of the the constitution at all given their repeated and explicit disdain for articles 1 through 3 that define the core of the us government.

There are cross-disciplinary, longitudinal, and meta-analysis studies which seem to support that when people experience adversity or various forms of trauma, they are far more likely than the general population to perpetuate the same or other harms upon others. It doesn’t strike me as colloquial at all. Psychology, neurology, and sociology each find this trend and various context-specific candidates for causal mechanisms.

How would a telescope like that compare to Webb or Hubble in its capability? Eg, if we had to trade the loss of that for many Webb scale telescopes, or presumably something much much bigger once starship can start launching - is that worth the trade?

> Once the message reaches the queue though, it is guaranteed that only a single consumer can read the message for the duration of the visibility timeout.

But does the message get persisted and replicated before any consumer gets the message (and after the submission of the message is acked)? If it's a single node, the answer is simply "no": the hard drive can melt before anyone reads the message and the data is lost. It's not "exactly once" if nobody gets the message.

And if the message is persisted and replicated, but there's subsequently a network partition, do multiple consumers get to read the message? What happens if writing the confirmation from the consumer fails, does the visibility timeout still expire?

> After that visibility timeout expires, it is an at-least-once scenario.

That's not really what "at least once" refers to. That's normal operation, and sets the normal expectations of how the system should work under normal conditions. What matters is what happens under abnormal conditions.

> The US government has worked hard to make the lives of copyright infringers miserable for years

They really have not. The fact that I can download any movie in the world right now, and use all of the open source models on my home PC proves that.

I am sure there are some random one off cases of infringers being punished, but it mostly doesn't happen.

Especially if we are talking about the entire tech industry.

The government isn't going to shutdown every single tech startup in the US. Because they are all using these open source AI models.

The government isn't going to be able to confiscate everyone's gamer PCs. The weights can already be run locally.
> Those jobs haven't really been more productive

But their services aren't commodities. You're not paying a plumber to lay pipe. You pay a plumber to be in a dry house that doesn't smell like excrement. That value of course rises since demand rises. So of course, their labour value increases, since they're keeping the houses of a wealthier people free of odors.

The same with education. The value of an education is the entry cost to participate in a productive economy. Of course that value is higher in more productive societies. Why should cost of an education drop, if its value rises? Again, it's not interchangeable in a global market, education is not a commodity.

And I mean, imagine everybody's time in terms of cost of TVs to produce, not just those in unproductive industries. Isn't this just the effect of commodity prices dropping?

Thanks for the explanation though, it starts to trickle, but there's nothing unintuitive about cost disease to me. It's just, well yeah, duh.

Literally they did exactly. People voted for and passed laws that regulated arms.

Idiots want to play with toys and got those regulations removed, because nothing says "well regulated militia" like alcoholics and racists with automatic weapons.

It is not a given that this will always be possible. I could imagine some kind of steganographic watermark in videos - diffused over the entire signal so that it cannot be easily cropped out - combined with a check for the same in all recording equipment that blocks the recording or blacks out the area if detected. Could be done "voluntarily" by all large manufacturers for starters, then eventually mandated by law for all equipment sold or imported into the country.

And there's already precedent for this kind of thing: the way copiers block money bills as source.
It's not a fixed offset from TAI. The offset changes every time there's a leap second.

Also, there is no such thing as absolute time, because of relativity. We take pains to account for this by only measuring TAI on the Earth's geoid, but even so the uncertainty never reaches zero. Two "stationary" atomic clocks on the geoid are expected to drift by about a second every billion years or so. Sure, that's pretty good, but definitely no "absolute".

When you really think about it, the cesium atom and the earth's day/night cycle are both equally valid clocks. But the cesium atom measures time more similarly to the way we perceive time on a small scale. But, of course, our lives are scheduled based on the day/night cycle. So they both matter. UTC is the way we reconcile the two.
Back of the envelope math would suggest that 8-10 JWTs could be launched in a single starship flight making for an impressive telescope array.
Ask HN: Open data sources for IBAN banking data?
I’m interested in find a dataset of all banks with their bank codes, so given an IBAN I can confirm the bank name and BIC code.

In Europe I can get a list of all banks and their BIC’s via ECB but they don’t contain the bank code part of the IBAN to do a match. At least I can’t see a way from that dataset to perform a match.

https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/financial_corporations/list_of_financial_institutions/html/daily_list-MID.en.html

Swift has responsibility for maintaining the list but keeps it behind locked doors. They have an IBAN Plus paid account but there is no hint of the actual pricing on their website, so I assume it’s expensive.

Germany does publish a list of German banks, which is useful, but is just a fraction of the European data.

https://www.bundesbank.de/en/tasks/payment-systems/services/bank-sort-codes/download-bank-sort-codes-626218

Does anyone know of any other sources?

There are lots of websites (lots of spammy ones too), that expose this data in some way or another, which I guess could be scraped, but I assume they aren’t paying Swift for simple spamming Google.

I’m not looking for an API service. I’m trying to build an open source validator and bank name / BIC lookup.
I do wonder if everyone is using the same rate structures when they compare, things like fixed fees for consumption/delivery, delivery charges, and actual usage.
> People here seem to treat this like advertising, because it kinda sounds familiar to advertising.

Because it is.

Whether or not OpenAI pays the publisher or the publisher pays OpenAI, it's still an agreement to "help ChatGPT users more easily discover and engage with publishers’ brands and content". In this case, the publisher "pays" in the form of giving OpenAI their data in return for OpenAI putting product placement into their responses.

That's advertising, no matter how you slice it.

How it actually works (from https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/little-protein-factory... )

DB-OTO is a cell-selective AAV gene therapy for children with hearing loss stemming from a mutation to the otoferlin gene.

The otoferlin protein is expressed in the sensory hair cells of the ear, which have tiny cilia that move as vibrations come into the ear. These cells help signal between the auditory nerve and the hair cells, passing information from the ear to the brain. Children born with this type of genetic hearing loss have the hair cells and can detect the signal coming into the ear.

“But they can't get that message from the ear to the brain, basically, because otoferlin is critical to enable that communication,” Whitton explained.

That’s where DB-OTO comes in. The adeno-associated viral vector delivers the gene therapy to the ear to provide a payload of cDNA that expresses the protein in the hair cells that are missing it. The hypothesis was that if they provided the gene, patients could eventually begin to hear on their own.

Regeneron does not yet know how long the effect will last, but “rigorous” preclinical tests were done to get a sense of durability, according to Whitton. Since those hair cells targeted by the gene therapy do not turn over during a person’s lifetime, they believe the effect should be persist once restored.

“The ones that you're born with are the ones you will have the rest of your life, so if we can create a little protein factory in those cells, make the protein that's missing, there's reason to believe that you could have long-term benefit,” Whitton said.

Note this is not CRISPR, its more like just adding little chunks of DNA into the cell (which I think is called upregulation). 'Gene Therapy' can mean many other things apart from Crispr, there's a whole complicated pipeline of processes that can be targeted.

Apple Apologizes for iPad Pro Ad That 'Missed the Mark'

I use this all the time. It's a nice app. Although some of the features such as jumping to citations are available in Google Scholar extension for Chrome. I just love the idea of vimifying my apps. Before Sioyek, I used Karabiner to set j/k/etc. in macOS Preview so I could navigate using vim keys, but that was a tedious process and didn't have many features that Sioyek offers. Also, I use a solarized background color for PDFs to avoid eye strain, and the app supports night mode even for the graphs in PDFs!

Some gripes with this app:

- There's an extension that lets you view PDFs in two columns (panels) side by side. But that literally changes the actual PDF files!

- Plugins are generally challenging to install. I found a workaround and reported it, but IDK if the author took that feedback to improve the app.

- To my knowledge, the app stores its configs in the Applications directory of the app. It'd be nicer to have them in ~/.config.

- The feature to quickly open files in a directory doesn't work for cloud drives (including iCloud).
“…but the iPad doesn’t want me” is exactly it; I used iPad from the very first one - that chunky, hard-edged aluminum and glass slate, and remained a heavy user up until a few years ago. For half a decade, the iPad was my only computer on the go. I spent two years abroad with a 12.9” Pro.

The conclusion I came to was that I loved the hardware but found the software a huge letdown for doing real work; I tried SSHing into VPSs and the like, but that wasn’t enough.

But man, the power in these thin, elegant devices is huge, and greater with the M4 chips. If Asahi ran on the M4 iPads I’d probably give it a go! – in an alternate dream universe, that is…
goto is a footgun only if you use it to move from function to function, which btw was what "goto considered harmful" was about. That practice has disappeared, and now goto, within a function, is pretty harmless and quite identical to break/continue in fact.
I am not sure about that. POSIX has some benefits, and its features are commonly used; however, there are also some problems.

There are other operating system specifications too, but I also wanted to make one operating system design, and I also wanted to avoid many of the problems with POSIX.

I did not konw that POSIX says that 2100 is a leap year, and clearly that is no good.

I'm necroposting here, but this has been stuck in my head for a week:

Israel participates in Eurovision because it's a member of the EBU. Several Arab states are also members of the EBU, including neighbor states Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt, along with Libya and Morocco (which has in fact participated). The Arab states are boycotting Eurovision because of Israel's participation.

It seems pretty clear that whatever other factors you want to weigh here, you can't judge Israel's Europeanness by its inclusion in Eurovision.

Yes, about a third of my electricity costs are fixed fees. Did California actually have no fixed fees before? Those fixed fees make my effective rate much higher than the posted rates.
Yes, though I guess it depends on what you mean by lots: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_optical_reflec.... Critically the 30+m monsters under construction have only recently become feasible on the Earh let alone in space, and much smaller instruments still provide significant value today.

There’s a much longer list of large radio based telescopes which have minimal advantages in space to the point where we haven’t launched any, and they are also negatively impacted by constellations. Also, several types of observations don’t really benefit from being in space. If you want to track killer asteroids space doesn’t provide much advantage even if you could get there for 100$/kg.

IMO the issue here isn’t satellites, it’s that they can harm multi billion dollar investments at zero cost to themselves. If you’re very clearly causing 10’s of millions in damages you really should be compensating the people affected.
