Not denying this, but I am unsure that plays to why Arecibo might have had baked in issues. I was trying to talk to the economics behind potentially weaker construction than expected.

I'm told Brazilia has mighty fine buildings, but there are maintenance issues with doing Niemeyer's vision in the Jungle. Le Corbusier's designs for New Delhi certainly had their challenges. So, I don't know that "colonialism" is the root problem here but perhaps it is?
Whether you earn and save a given dollar as a W2 worker or through a business you own seems pretty incidental, right? Your net worth is going up just the same; society has the same interest in containing inequality.
Show HN: Lyceum – An MMO game built with Zig and Erlang
Hey HN, this is a small project myself and closer friends have been building on our free time (https://github.com/Dr-Nekoma/lyceum), it finally reached 0.1.0, we are open to feedback!

The original idea was to experiment with Zig + Raylib, eventually we wrote a small server in Erlang as well. We started by first interacting with Erlang via its C bindings, but this eventually led to some of us to prototyping our own tooling to better integrate Zig types with Erlang, we called such tool "zerl" as its avaliable here https://github.com/dont-rely-on-nulls/zerl.

Most of the developers are NixOS users, so the tooling heavily relies on Nix as well, including a Postgres running our devshell as well.

You obviously have never done things from a non-privileged situation.

It is extremely difficult to disseminate ideas that lie outside the overton window.

Exhibit A: you. You just "don't believe it" and that's usually the end of the conversation.

My experience with homeless people - and I admit it's limited - is that they aren't people who didn't ask for help. They're people who have run through all of the help that was available and it either wasn't enough or didn't work.
In an ideal world yes, but the amount of money people lose from the 10% early withdrawal penalty is huge. You don’t want anywhere close to 100% of your long term savings in a 401k.

Well.. a crude estimate of relative running economy is pace/heart rate and tracking it over time. Seeing the number go upwards means your economy is increasing and vice versa.

A fair amount of people track this because it's a feature of pretty much every training/coaching app.

The core message of "everybody will not just" is that you need to think about why people haven't already just, and address that.

With tooth-brushing and hand-washing people actually didn't know it was that good for you. So massive public health education campaigns about how they prevent acute illnesses turned out to be enough to get significant adherence. That both are very low-cost / low-burden / low-effort activities are also reasons that education on the benefits was enough.

(And educating the next generation of children to instill proper tooth-brushing and hand-washing as habits remains a perpetual ongoing effort; kids do not "just" either, they need to be educated the same way.)

Compare this to many "why won't everyone just" issues where the information is already out - merely re-proclaiming stuff already known by the audience that-will-not-just, and expecting that to turn the needle, is nonsensical.

You can’t come anywhere near maxing tax-exempt contributions to a 401k without substantial employer contributions, though, because of how they’re structured. The employer’s separate cap is higher than the employees. No matter how dedicated to saving a person is, they can’t even hit 50% of the max without the employer separately contributing.
It's worth noting that 47.7% of land in California is federal land. There is an expectation that the federal government take care of it in return for the restrictions imposed.
Pensions are very rare in private industry because they’re incredibly expensive and amount to a Ponzi scheme due to chronic underfunding. In the US everyone has moved onto 401k, except government jobs. But almost all state pensions are in a bad shape. Taxpayers are wasting tons of money paying out pensions that simply never made sense and were never deserved - after all offering up something that is “risk free” would be insanely expensive in theory. Unfortunately some states like California make it impossible for states to get out of those of obligations. Private companies can go bankrupt, but the state will keep taking from taxpayers
I remember encountering one of these PS/2s in my school's storage in the late 90s and was kind of thrown for a loop to see 2.88 printed on the blue eject button. Until then I was unaware that standard existed and didn't understand why it hadn't take off, I assumed it was just another proprietary IBM standard that the market rejected.
What does early withdrawal have to do with this? I'm talking about the tax status of contributions

>Basically, the vaccines dont work with prior exposure

The FDA recommends it for males under 45 now. It does prevent infection from new exposures. In time I bet that we will find it reduces cancer incidence even in those infected before vaccination. Those studies will take years to complete and it is too early to tell.

When the vaccine was first available, it was rationed, and the highest priority was for young girls before they become sexually active since they have the highest benefit.
You dont. People all around the world are in various ways economically enslaved. Its just that in western countries we have rules in place to limit what you could contractually mandate from an employee. You can report unsafe working conditions, long hours, unreasonable pay or discrimination based on immutable characteristics. Usually you report this to your boss, if he doesn't listen then you report it to an independent organisation to arbitrate, if this doesn't work then you have courts, social media and governments to rely on. If all else fails you could quit your job at no repercussions and find a new one.

its just that all of methods above are useless if the organisation has close ties to all of these pathways of resolution.
So with aft you probably could use it for the same purpose you have, but currently aft doesn't support multi transfers, but rerun each time. In the future it will probably be added, or provide an easier way to multi-transfer.

About mDNS I'm not sure since if you're already running a receiver and a sender, might as well get the local IP. aft aims to be minimalistic.

The only reason that matters is “$20 billion to $25 billion in subscription revenue by 2030”. How they plan to accomplish this after laying off 1000 SWEs last year is questionable, but I worry that there isn’t enough competition and GM buyers will just be stuck with whatever garbage gets put in.

"Architect of computer intelligence" - I'm sure Church was an accomplished logician, but his contribution to "computer intelligence", which I imagine is supposed to mean AI/ML, is absolutely nil.

On a separate note, I don't think lambda calculus is really maths. It's more like clever notation. The merits of any notation are subjective. It's interesting how Church never cared about how that particular idea of his inspired the design of certain programming languages - which are ultimately notations, and therefore subjective in their merits.
really excited for this launch!

Perhaps it may be more instructive to look at not just the past 2 years, in which there's been a global mini-recession (due largely to the Ukraine war) - and more broadly, how Germany has been doing compared to other countries over longer time periods?

According to these two graphs, German GDP fluctuations are pretty evenly matched with those of the US (and in some years, such ast 2016-2017 they did significantly better than the US):

https://tradingeconomics.com/germany/gdp-growth-annual

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/gdp-growth-annual

Germany has been hit worst in the past 2 years, but there's an extremely obvious reason for that -- again, largely due to the war. Not because of the country's social system or how it manages healthcare or fuel prices.

They're awful.

True, but (1) only in the last 10 years, and (2) Germany's "awful" is still an order of magnitude better than the land-based public transit system most anywhere in the US.

Go back 20 years - Germany's train system positively rocked, while the US was still going around invading random countries for no particular reason other than to distract its population from its decaying infrastructure, rising inequality and its own slow drift toward fascism.

Yeah. I never expected the pensions to return, sadly. But 38% over 4 year after a 2 month walkout seems like this strike more or less settled.

For reference:

>Machinists voted down another offer — 35% raises over four years, and still no revival of pensions — on Oct. 23, the same day that Boeing reported a third-quarter loss of more than $6 billion.

I can't blame them at the end of the day because mouths need to be fed, but this paints a grim picture in my eyes. The only way this can be salvaged is if someone in the background is giving other deals like what happened with the train strike (which we wouldn't hear about for months on end).
> I agree building codes in places like California make houses expensive, but the current market in the United States does not incentivize building affordable housing

Yes, or some regions in China have pretty good battery swap infrastructure, for example NIOPower.

Whatever the solution, there isn't one in the UK. I think UK has to get over its NIMBYism before any serious infra projects can take place. We even struggled to build a space port in the middle of nowhere, and it was for a national cause in a way.

I actually happen to know about Poland's situation because I lived in Central/Eastern Europe for a while and it's the same thing everywhere. Lithuania's capital Vilnius has solved this by seemingly allowing private companies to convert some parking spaces into EV charging bays. Now there are more bays than there is demand for.

Maybe the government should simply let private companies convert building block parking lots to electric car charging stations in part. Perhaps up to the % of EV users in each block of flats. So if 10% of car owners drive EVs, 10% of all common parking spaces can be converted. Of course, if the situation is similar in Poland to how it is in Lithuania, some of the condominium buildings and the land they are on are owned by the unit owners fractionally. But NIMBYism isn't a problem in Lithuania. Is it a problem in Poland? I think people could be quite supportive of upgrading some parking bays, even if they owned a fraction of the land under them.

If it wasn't for NIMBYism, I am pretty sure the UK could do this too for roadside parking.
I object to my country, New Zealand, having the same colour as the UK. Yes, we have that moronic family in the background somewhere, but we don’t have an unelected House of Lords. How that archaic system remains is baffling. Buy a seat and away you go!

Why should it be illegal? Isn't it akin to "right to remain silent"? Why the need to present any information to police unless it is asked by court. Assuming that they didn't delete the data, just moved it to somewhere safe where it couldn't directly be taken away.

We had a raid in one of my previous company due to copyright violation due to a user uploaded content. Authorities came in to take in all the codebase, reports and even employee devices. Basically once given court permission, police would try to collect all the unrelated things which could be taken in the permission, so that they could extort you later.

I'm glad the Python community is focusing more on CPython's performance. Getting speed ups on existing code for free feels great. As much as I hate how slow Python is, I do think its popularity indicates it made the correct tradeoffs in regards to developer ease vs being fast enough.

And to governments, not just companies. Public sector pensions in America are basically scamming and stealing from taxpayers.
A pension is easier for people who are bad at money. You get your allowance doled out and then spend retirement complaining about prices and the economy.

On paper a well-funded 401k is better. You don't have to worry about the fund collapsing. You're safer against inflation. And your money doesn't disappear when you die. Etc.

12% matching is an insanely good deal for people smart enough to use it well. But you are going to have people who make really bad choices end up in a lurch. So it's a higher-ceiling/lower-floor range of outcomes for each individual.

A human needs only around 50 chemical substances to stay alive in good health, which are composed of around 20 chemical elements.

These approximately 50 include a little more than 10 amino-acids for providing both the essential amino-acids and the additional bound ammonia that is needed, 2 or 3 amino-acid derivatives, vitamin C, around 7 or 8 essential fatty acids and liposoluble vitamins, 8 B-complex vitamins, water, salt and about a dozen minerals.

Besides these, there are a few additional chemical elements that might be needed, but if they are needed they are needed in quantities so small in comparison with their normal abundance as impurities in food that there have never been observed any cases where any harm could be attributed to their absence (e.g. silicon and bromine).

There are also various substances from plants that may be beneficial for health, but which are not known to be strictly necessary for anything.
Assumption: the dream primary value of something like this is the ability for individuals to fab chips on their own. Like 3D printing, it’s for rapid iteration in prototyping. Then once you have a design you have one of the big players manufacture it in the traditional manner.

Public ownership or private ownership, the capital owning class is going to fight for power. The difference is, almost all societies put the power over military and laws and taxation in the hands of the state. With public ownership (read state ownership) the incentives for the capital owning class is to control the state and the means to force (tax) people to pay for ridiculous projects like this Saudi line city in order to save their asses. The private sector can’t legally force me to pay for their projects, whereas the “public” sector can.
