The death penalty should be abolished. You don't get sentenced to death for harming others, you get sentenced to death for being unsympathetic to the jury (because of racism or, as in this case, because you don't appear to exhibit the right emotions) and for not having enough money to afford a good lawyer.

You can die from being poor in a bunch of different ways in this country, but this is one we could easily eliminate.

You're probably a conscientious person and from "the inside" it maybe feels like you're procrastinating. But taken on your own account, it just looks like you don't actually have a problem with procrastination and are able to prioritize and manage your tasks.

>> [Procrastination] certainly can cause negative outcomes, but I wouldn't say that's my default expectation.

I think that, by default, you have better results with more time, but that doesn't mean inadequate with less. On the other hand, there's a kernel of truth in the witticism: "If you wait until the last minute to do a thing, that thing will take one minute to do".

The video quoted Ursula von der Leyen as saying the EU targets 10 million tons of hydrogen to be produced locally and then import another 10 million tons of hydrogen. This is after Russia cut the amount of natural gas to Europe.

The naked reality that the video and DW finds distasteful is that the EU has no choice. If it can't power its economy via hydrogen which many find more realistic than pure electrical economy with renewables and batteries -- then the EU needs to start sucking up to Putin.
It does invalidate the argument. They’re implying that with self hosting you need someone to manage it, but with cloud you don’t. The truth is you need someone managing both scenarios, and the cost remains roughly the same.
Apparently they use raptor exhaust gas to pressurize tanks, and it is speculated the filters are getting clogged from the water vapour in the exist gas freezing.

At the time, fast food chains, and McDonald’s

It's still a little bit ridiculous.

A human being should be eating 90 meals per month, give or take. If more than 1 or 2 of those are fast food, that's the problem.

To what standard should we be holding a restaurant meal? "Is it healthy for a person to eat 90 of these meals per month?" doesn't seem like a useful or realistic thing to do.

I felt like I was a long long long hold out against steam, waiting until ~2009, because of these reasons. Giving up Right of First Sale because you happen to be using an online service is an insane trade off for convenience, & it makes me mad & sad society has abnegated it's property rights like this.

Now a days though I have 600+ games on Steam & wow it's just so nice to have, does so much. At least they made Linux gaming workable again.

Mark Lelmey's Terms of Use (2006) is - from what I can tell - the definitive write up on clickwrap licensing & the use of contract law in software to erode property rights to nothing. This framing defines our era, is what has allowed enshittification to begin & consume us; if we had rights & could modify things, there would be a possibility to resist the perpetual slide of software. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=917926
I don't get your point. It doesn't matter if you host your stuff on AWS, Hetzner, or locally on a Pi, you need someone to manage that. If you are this someone, great, if not, you need to pay someone else. And contrary to what private cloud providers advertise,[0] the amount of work is similar in each case.

[Or used to, around 2006 or so - I'm not sure if they still claim managing public cloud resources is means less work.]
So, why doesn't all malware include this?

People have different values and ideas, which means those words may mean something entirely different to someone else, to how you interpret them. xGPL code seeks to protect the freedom of the developer and the consumer to tinker with the code (right to know and repair), at the (slight) expense of capitalism. There is no prohibition on you to use the code, even commercially. All the license demands of you is that if a consumer of the product demands the source code, you share it with them. And that you cannot prohibit them to modify and distribute it further.
i would argue it can turn into positive outcomes given the right problem and certain personality. often times, if i start something too early, i end up overdoing it (from the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step). instead i'll background process, hash out an online on the side as merited, and when the time comes knock it out without thinking too hard because you don't have time

It probably truly was ligntning in a bottle. I can't comment on his other movies, but very very few works become so sensationalized that a collective generation all remember viewing the same thing in school. Especially in video format. Supersize me stands alongside Bill Nye, Magic Schoolbus, and maybe Idiocracy as "something everyone my age/country has seen", no matter where we grew up.

I say sensationalized simply because I don't think the quality of the documentary really influenced that. Maybe his other movies are much better from a critical lens (especially in wake of criticism over his experiment). It was truly the right place at the right time
> So I am referring to what the discussion is talking about.

That is why I am asking. Because it definietly sounds like you think the discussion is about quadrocopters and not say China building many WZ-7 Soaring Dragons.

Is it possible that when the others said that china will build many drones they meant the second kind and not some toy copters? Because that would make their comments make sense.
Masked instructions primarily. But apart from that it’s just a more complete ISA vs NEON. More comparable to AVX512/AVX10.

This is only true if we ignore more complex instructions and focus on things like adding two vectors.

Also, per the link, cheaper than emergency room visits and ambulance transports:

> But San Francisco public health officials found that the city saved $1.7 million over six months from the managed alcohol program in reduced calls to emergency services, including emergency room visits and other hospital stays. In the six months after clients entered the managed alcohol program, public health officials said visits to the city’s sobering center dropped 92%, emergency room visits dropped more than 70%, and EMS calls and hospital visits were both cut in half.

> Previously, the city reported that just five residents who struggled with alcohol use disorder had cost more than $4 million in ambulance transports over a five-year period, with as many as 2,000 ambulance transports over that time. [emphasis mine]

> The San Francisco Fire Department said in a statement that the managed alcohol program has “has proven to be an incredibly impactful intervention” at reducing emergency service use for a “small but highly vulnerable population.”

> Unfortunately, Steam accounts and games are non-transferable

My layman's take is: what does it mean to "buy" a game on Steam? It's probably a personal licence. I suspect there is already case law on this because licensing of intellectual property is not new.

So, this might be a case of no-one testing this in court yet in the context of this specific scenario, which will end up confirming that existing case law applies... or not.

I even got a job offer from ICQ back in the day. One of the perks they offered was a small ICQ number ending in zeros.

I didn't take the job offer because I was in high school, though, and wasn't even looking for a job. It's unclear whether they knew that. I'd written some companion program and put it on the internet and they'd found it and were impressed. :)
You're throwing in a truly decadent load of assumptions in a few short words before you make your points. Just because you can craft rhetoric that is tiring to untangle does not mean it has any merit.

I'd wager that opening sooner versus later is almost certainly more pertinent than you realize there. It is comical how rapidly families get sick when they first start something like preschool. The longer it has been since they were exposed, the more rapidly they get sick.

That said, I'm happy to see data backing this. Last time I recall the claim getting looked at, it didn't have anything actionable. Private school was something like 1/20th the size of typical public schools and the numbers were inline with what you would expect for such a smaller population.

Our kids in public similarly saw a ton of reported cases. Around here, though, masking compliance was pretty good. I'm still finding stashes of masks we had in convenient locations for when we were out.
That is a neat, intuitive, framing. Thank you.
I think we just grew up. When I joined Facebook as a teenager in 2008, we essentially had no filter. Every thought, every photo, every relationship update - all of it was immediately shared to Facebook because at the time it was fun and novel and innocent.

For better or worse, millennials have become much more discretionary in what they post online than they were 15 years ago. I imagine Facebook had organic content from your real friends to show you then it probably would, the well's just run dry.
While the AI feature wasn't as intrusive as Windows & Microsoft has been, I am glad developers protested a force AI adoption. And also somewhat successful. Only wish enterprise CXO to know where to adopt and where not.
you reminded me that we used to pay for Internet access by the hour. You'd pay $X for one hour of Internet use, so you'd go online, do a thing and then disconnect to save money. local vs remote for email was such a different time. you'd have a fat client on your laptop, and you'd do a bunch of writing offline, before connecting, having the program sync, and then disconnect.

how times have changed!
I think you're confusing the ICJ with the ICC.

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) settles legal disputes between UN member States, and it's rulings are expected to be upheld and enforced by UN States, or ultimately the UN Security Council.

The International Criminal Court is the one that can issue arrest warrants against individuals.

If the factory isn't used you have no idea if it will work. Did mice eat the wires? Machines rust? Did we discover the something is hazardous and we wouldn't use it? Is the thing obsolete and we wouldn't want it anymore? Do we have people who know how to run the factory? This is one reason why the army has thousands of tanks they don't want (the more cynics say is is a jobs program that congress forces on the army - you decide which view you want to take, but both are valid)
Let's just skip ahead to just implementing the script of Idiocracy verbatim and be done with it.
> Equally necessary doesn’t mean equally valuable. So there is that.

But there's no objective way to measure valuable other than what the output is and what happens if the resource is removed. That's circular reasoning. You want to believe that doing something easy can't possibly be as valuable, but, it sure can, it's all a matter of supply and demand. We've all seen boomtown situations, especially if we read history or follow current events, where suddenly an undersupply of warm bodies relative to the opportunities makes for high wages relatively speaking for anyone just willing to move to the boomtown area.
I was very much this way in school, it worked out okay, but after graduation I did learn from experience that there is a big transition into the workplace around this: as a student deadlines are basically immutable, and your professor doesn't care for updates that you're behind schedule, you just have to figure it out. In the workplace it's the opposite: communicating clearly with your team about progress towards goals or deadlines is really important!

As a manager, this is something I make sure to cover/be aware of with more recently graduated hires, as I've noticed many others are just like I was and would tend to just soldier quietly on towards the deadline.

>No one is doing that on accident cause they didnt know how big a supersize fry was.

People have definitely become more aware of what they eat since the documentary came out. And I'm not sure how much of that can specifically be credited to the documentary but if we are still talking about than it clearly has done something right in raising awareness.

Obviously if you are doing research in this area you were never going to cite Super Size Me as it was never serious scientific research.
1. It's not entirely accurate to dismiss all Chinese economic data outright. While there is a consensus that some data might be manipulated, international agencies like the IMF and World Bank, and multinational corporations operating in China, rely on a combination of official data and independent assessments to guide investment and policy decisions. Moreover, the idea of a "last-gasp production dumping" ahead of an economic collapse seems exaggerated when considering China’s consistent economic growth and its strategic long-term planning evident in initiatives like Made in China 2025. Have you read article I linked in Foreign Affairs?

2. I don't buy this argument, they only keep their positions because of the economy growth currently in China.

3. The claim that BRI is a failure and that Sub-Saharan Africa will become uninhabitable and thus, unimportant, overlooks the long-term investments and geopolitical influence China is garnering through these initiatives. The BRI has indeed faced challenges, but it has also led to significant infrastructure developments in participating countries. These nations may face debt issues, yet many continue to engage with the initiative because of the substantial economic benefits and the lack of alternative funding sources for infrastructure.

4. You haven't addressed the Congressional reports, which show that a US vs. China military conflict, including a blockade, does not have an obvious winner.

5. The vulnerability of China's oil imports through the Strait of Malacca is a well recognized strategic concern, often referred to as the "Malacca Dilemma". China has been actively working to mitigate this risk through various strategies, including the development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), building pipelines through Myanmar, and increasing domestic energy production and diversification of energy sources. While a blockade of the Straits of Malacca would be significant, it is not an insurmountable obstacle given these mitigating measures.

6. While India might oppose certain Chinese actions, an outright confrontation is not a foregone conclusion given the potential economic and political costs. They do not want to escalate, which you can see based on agreement to use only sticks in border clashes.

> The point is that the old world political economic order, and by order I mean stability and structure, not the illuminati evil control council "order", is over. Russia invading Ukraine, COVID disrupting supply chains, and China becoming aggressive and authoritarian ended that. That era, a solid 75 years between bipolar Cold War stability and unipolar post-Cold War is OVER.

Fully agree.

> Every five years that go by in China will decrease their military effectiveness by a substantial degree, because of authoritarian degradation in chain of command and corruption, because of demographic reductions and disruption.

I'm not as optimistic as you are.

I read a study looking at the difference between tankless and tank water heaters.

Summary the more hot water you use the smaller the win is for tankless.

Other thing I've read and seems true is gas and heat pump water heaters cost about the same to run. I installed a heat pump unit five years ago. Works okay for two people. If you had three teenage girls and a wife that likes baths a tankless would be a better choice.

I still wonder who the audience is for tools like this. The website posits you can answer data questions without going through an analyst, but the role of the analyst is not to be a SQL whisperer for PMs and Executives - it is to be an expert in the model and the data. A data warehouse of any real scale is going to have some amount of issues - anomalous data, different interpretations of the same numbers - how does the LLM deal with that consistently across a business?

Ask HN: Any advice for someone getting back in the game after 13yrs at startups?
Hi all, I'm thinking of getting back into the working world after 13 years of working for startup companies (10 as CTO and 3 as CEO). Neither of the companies took off but were until recently enough to pay the bills.

Cliff Notes version: I have a Comp Sci degree, wrote a couple books, spoken at a bunch of conferences, and have always been a hands-on leader. At one point I was managing a 15 person team. I've brought several product lines from 0 code to 6/7 figure revenue. And I was able to keep my team happy and advance their careers.

And my HN throw away profile has almost 6000 karma but I can't take karma to the bank .

My concern is that 13 years of "wearing lots of hats" has not positioned me well for the job market. I know I can be a great principal engineer, manager, or executive but I don't think my interviewing skills (I haven't interviewed for 13+ years) would reflect that.

I'm prepared to work hard. My first thought is to cram leetcode for a while but are there any better resources out there? And/or other general advice.

Thank you in advance!
