The 7-38-55 rule: Debunking the golden ratio of conversation
Presumably the crew won't like this very much.

Much less time in port seems like quite a downgrade.
I drive like that sometimes and have not annoyed people. I believe it reduces wear and tear too (less braking and gear changing). It might be because most of my driving is in light traffic in (and between) small towns in the English Midlands rather than city commuting.

The most common problem I have is when I slow down because I am unfamiliar with a road and cannot figure out what the right lane is or similar.
Well, I asked for evidence and nobody provided any.

With such general assertions, you really have to be careful not to end up looking like the one who is being taken in by faith. Science is not about quality of life, but about gaining knowledge. Not all scientific knowledge is based on falsifiability. Science does not float in an empty space but has a foundation that is not itself science.
China can't afford to throw away only sons, and have them sink into the bottom of the ocean. Families would revolt pretty quickly. As we saw from the millions of protestors in Hong Kong in 2019, and the violent protests in Shanghai in lockdown 2023, Chinese citizens are capable of grouping together in mass numbers.

China may have the factories for manufacturing, but they need materials and money to keep a war going. That's hard when they are broke, and also supporting other dictatorships, such as Russia's war effort, Iran, North Korea.

The heliocentric conceit that you’re arguing against isn’t my quote from the internet.

That’s Carl Sagan giving a speech IRL.

I’d encourage you to follow the link I shared and listen to Carl Sagan’s full speech.

> It's a reflection of a general myopia in the American psyche, which intensifies as you reach the country's center where the rest of the world is relegated to being regarded as a strange abstract construct, and either ignored, disdained, or bombed.

There is nothing that I’ve found about the people that have settled the American Midwest that makes this statement more or less true than any other arbitrary geographic grouping of people I’ve come across in life when it comes to using language like “the fall.” Which I was trying to demonstrate by quoting Carl Sagan.

Our VAR was Trimech for many years, then we tried a few others that were worse, and finally we came back to Trimech.

We've always lagged a year behind the current SW release to try to avoid getting hit by the latest and greatest bugs.

I think we just hit more edge cases than other companies. We have half a TB of stuff in our vault (about 250k files), going back to 2012 for the first import. Lots of legacy files, fairly complex assemblies, heavy use of some tricky stuff like the sheetmetal design tools (where we tend to find the most bugs). And then there's Solidworks Electrical, which I don't think anybody is set up to support well, as it's still a fairly recent acquisition from Trace Software.
That's not the topic, that's the topic you want to debate.
My point about birth rate is that China does not have enough men in the right age to fight a protracted war. Especially if the men are only sons.

Might be worth highlighting some of the problems solved (particularly those that earlier ideas haven't).
I think the problem is that there doesn't appear to be any plan to manage the land usage. In the US, there is tons of public land, but there are giant federal and state departments that manage it, and there are entire books of rules for how that land can be used. The public land is a collectively owned asset that is managed for public benefit. Areas can be closed off, or require permits, or limited to a specific usage.

The "right to roam" seems almost completely unregulated with no power to manager or limit this public asset. It's a right without any responsibility.

Perhaps you wouldn't be so sick of it if you attempted to actually understand the argument. The irony in dismissing this as a "shallow dismissal" is you're actually making a shallow dismissal yourself. Your condescending attitude and feeling that you're so much smarter than everybody else is also (I suspect) a hindrance to actually trying to understand what someone with a different viewpoint than yours might possibly be thinking.

This particular case is pretty clear cut: Sam A liked Johansson's voice and either found an actress to mimic it, or he stole it. But when you are creating policy and law, you have to get at the underlying principles, and be able to apply that equally to multiple situations, many of which will be far less clear cut than this one. I.e. laws don't (or shouldn't) say "Sam A can't imitate Scarlet Johannson's likeness," they have to provide some sort of standard and/or benchmark that defines the underlying principle.

Is it possible that you are talking about a specific case, while the people you accuse of shallow dismissals are actually going a lot deeper than you and talking about the greater (and much harder to nail down) principles?

This particular case is boring. It's mostly just gossip mixed with cult of personality. Far, far more interesting to me is the philosophy and principles behind it.

Welcome to HN by the way! (and I mean that seriously. We've obviously disagreed here, but that's what makes this site great IMHO.

But most people don’t intentionally “broadcast their SSID in the open”. They just want to surf wirelessly in their homes with as little hassle as possible.

Until there’s technology that lets you do that easily I think this definitely violates privacy. Especially if unique information like MAC addresses is collect, and not only the Wi-Fi name.

I wonder how MAC addresses are treated under GDPR since e.g. IP addresses are considered personal information.
> The Blue Visby Solution requires considerable connectivity, co-ordination and participation, from lots of different stakeholders, on a global scale – but where the rubber meets the road, it's incredibly simple. It simply tells the ships to slow down, so they arrive at port right on time.

IMHO, the real motivation is cognitive load or mental effort.

It requires a lot of work just to mind the optimization. Easier to just go quickly to the stop light then wait, where you can turn off brain. Similarly with "Sail Fast Then Wait".
I'm willing to bet that it will be in the future. Maybe a free version that can run locally on Copilot+ level NPU's or GPU's, perhaps taking advantage of software & hardware cost reductions to get it down to a level that they can talk Gates into paying for it.

There's lots of state + national forest land in the Northeast where that's legal. I've done it many times in PA/NY/VT/NH/ME. There are probably some options in the other more developed states too, but I don't usually visit them as much for outdoor recreation.

Outside of the most popular locations for tourists that's pretty much the default.

As a peer mentioned, China has 12 million unemployed men. That's more than in all of NATO.

> China imports vast quantities of goods, so yes, debt matters.

Yes, external debt matters. However, they don't have much external debt.

And China's imports are decreasing faster than their exports are. And that trend will accelerate because the two biggest are electronics which we are sanctioning and oil which they are rapidly weaning themselves off of.

A property claim is a bundle of rights, and people democratically decide what is in the bundles. What something being (your) property means is up to all your neighbours to decide. Fortunately someone with more exclusionary view can move to a place where lots of people think like them - a community of solitude is what you need!

But apparently there's no duty of care towards oneself to not trespass into unknown conditions, to watch where you're going, or to supervise one's kids?

Following it to its logical conclusion, I guess I'm supposed to put up a construction fence every time I dig a hole? Or stack a pile of wood? But an orange plastic fence can be jumped over or cut, so I guess I need a high chain link fence? But then how do I make the fence posts safe so someone doesn't hurt themselves by running into those? And what about the hazard of digging the holes for the fence posts? Etc etc etc.

This whole topic is essentially a backwards precedent that reeks of the common US anti-pattern of unfunded policy mandates merely pitting individuals against one another and considering the matter solved. If we want fewer people to drown, then make unfenced swimming pools (or perhaps even ponds) straight up illegal, with stiff penalties (I believe they're just generally town ordinance violations with a few hundred dollar fine right now). If we want to take care of people who get injured in such ways, then create a general fund for that. Tying the two together is like some moralizing version of "thoughts and prayers" that really just sets up a perverse reverse lottery where everything is fine until you get unlucky. (see also: all the harm that law enforcement causes and then just walks away from)

(Also FWIW I don't think there's anything "collectively decided" about the current legal landscape. From what I understand these liabilities basically arise from courts having created these theories of liabilities, and the unknown unknown risk comes from not knowing what theories the courts might create next (ex post facto!). If these liabilities had been created by statutory law through the nominal democratic process they could at least be enumerated and thus definitely addressed. But alas)

White Mountain National Forest for one. There are restriction regarding how close to a trail or hut you can camp and the topography can be challenging but you certainly can.

But yes there are orders of magnitude more national forest
land out west. Probably more than the size of the entire or maybe UK.
Many (most?) western countries do not permit ex post facto (retroactive) laws, so the the wealthy simply move out before the law goes into effect.
> but aren't kid's <14 supposed to be supervised at all times by an adult

No. The age which supervision is required varies by jurisdiction.

> And 14+ years old that drowns in a pool for inability to swim is also something that should be blamable on the parents, not the pool owner.

There's no law stating you need to teach your kids to swim.
It sounds like you're not a good candidate for an owner of a large parcel of wilderness.

And that's ok! Not everyone has to own acres of undeveloped land!

I think it's appropriate that some kinds of ownership are as much a responsibility as a privilege, similar to how not everyone is prepared to be responsible for river or stream running through their property.

For a somewhat tortured metaphor, there are seats on planes that give extra leg room, as long as you're willing and able to help others in the case of an emergency. You get the benefit of the extra leg room, but you get the responsibility of helping others in an emergency. And that seems like a fair balance!

Society is just a set of mutually agreed to rules. There’s no natural law for language, currency, culture, etc.

We need some civil method of organizing and managing scarce resources, I think.
> Matter cools when universe expands.

More precisely, the energy density of matter decreases as the universe expands.

> Where does that energy go to?

Stress-energy density is locally conserved; there is no energy being created or destroyed. In fact that local conservation of stress-energy density is what requires the energy density of matter (which in cosmology-speak means a perfect fluid with zero pressure) to decrease as the universe expands (as the cube of the scale factor).

> Shouldn't dark energy density also fall?

No, because dark energy, considered as a stress-energy density, includes negative pressure equal to minus the energy density, and the same local conservation of stress-energy density I referred to above requires that in this case, the energy density is constant in both space and time.

Note that the new findings described in the article amount to raising the possibility that what we thought was "dark energy", i.e., a cosmological constant with pressure exactly equal to minus the energy density (that is what w = -1, mentioned in the article, means), is in fact something else whose equation of state (relationship between pressure and energy density) can change over time, with pressure becoming less negative (w less negative than -1). If that is the case, the energy density would also be decreasing over time, though much more slowly than for ordinary matter.
The generated code already looks kind of insane, I can imagine it would only be worse without the benefit of Bash features.
Preventing accidental privacy intrusion is easy. If you have a fence around your property (or even something as simple as a mowed lawn) then it is quite obvious where your plot starts and where the forest ends.

Someone malicious doesn't care about laws anyway. If they get caught today, couldn't they could just deny that they were there? I don't understand what would change in that case.

I created the library that would become intercooler.js in 2012 and released it in 2013, based on a mashup of $.load(), pjax & angular attributes.

The world at that time was not ready to consider an alternative to the hot new ideas coming out of the big tech companies (angular from google, react from facebook).

In 2020 during covid i decided to rewrite intercooler.js w/o the jQuery dependency and rename it to htmx. The django community started picking it up because they were being largely ignored by the next.js/etc. world and they didn't have a built in alternative like rails has w/ Turbo.

In 2023 it got picked up by an ocaml twitch streamer, teej_dv, who knew some other folks in the twitch programming community. He told ThePrimeagen about it who took a look at it in July 2023 on stream and became enthusiastic about it. At the same time FireshipDev did an "htmx in 100 seconds" short on it. That lit the rocket. I was lucky that I also had just released my book https://hypermedia.systems at around the same time (it had been cancelled by a major publisher about a year beforehand.)

Another thing that happened is that Musk bought twitter, and a large number of big tech twitter accounts left. This opened up an opportunity for new tech twitter accounts to grow up, like a fire in a forest. I am pretty good at twitter and was able to take advantage of that situation.

Here's the story visually:

https://star-history.com/#bigskysoftware/htmx&bigskysoftware...

So I spent about a decade screaming into the void about hypermedia and had largely given up on the idea making a dent, rewrote intercooler.js just to stay sane during covid and then got very, very lucky.
That valuation is nuts. Worth 200M tops and I'm being generous.
