50Mbps of a raw link is is 5MB/s, split into dedicated 4MB/s down and 1MB/s up. That’s a half hour to download a Linux ISO, and only enough upload for 1 video call. It definitely affects work.
There is no description of what this is on the main page, I just see a list of books. I’d add something to explain what it is.

Also, can I just read them on your site?
This is a well implemented and remarkably responsive version of what I've always wanted--a map that travels throughout all of human history. I'm so happy to see this today, honestly.
It's not just the price, there are tons of new computers out there being sold with <=16 GB of RAM soldered onto the motherboard. It's not like one can just pop it out and put a new stick in.

You want to force people buy and eat food they don’t want?

The people selling food are making and selling what is in demand. Not doing that would put them out of business. What purpose does that serve?
The Meticulous is a lower end competition with the Decent Espresso DE1, or a more upscale version of the DIY stuff like Gaggiuino.

Given the author has given us essentially nothing regarding what is actually controllable (besides pressure control?), it's unclear to me what you even can do with it. A simple pressure control is pretty basic and not at all comparable to the Meticulous or a DE1.
Yes, kids are the primary factor here. We moved near their school, on a house lot large enough for us to expand as they get older, on the outskirts of a wealthy neighborhood, but at a price we can afford.
That's a good guess.

Human eyes also have blind spots called Scotomas- our brains do some sort of calculation to make us not notice the fact our eyes have blind spots. I imagine if your brain is wired to do the calculation "wrong" in this scenario you end up seeing things differently than a camera would.
"What’s your favourite colour? Do you prefer sharp angles or soft curves? Do you like smooth canvases or thick brushstrokes? Would you rather figures that are nude or clothed? Should they be at leisure or working? Indoors or outside? In what kind of landscape?"

This is flawed research. I hope they just did it for a joke. The reality is, you can't really just ask people what they want in art because the logical parts of their brain will answer it, and most people lack the domain knowledge to describe it, so you end up with a mush answer like they got.
Colleges started out as vocational schools for priests. For much of American history colleges were places for farmers or engineers to learn their crafts. For my entire lifetime colleges were places you went to prepare you for a career.

Colleges being mainly a place for elites to fraternize, if it ever really existed, was a short lived phenomenon and certainly not how they were founded or the role they serve now. No one is giving out hundred thousand dollar plus loans so that you can learn for the sake of learning.
I though the same when I did research for my next car. EV purchase incentives and gas savings almost outweigh the large insurance increase, which is not factored in here. EVs can be totaled out if there is any suspected damage to the battery, as they are considered non-serviceable parts and total battery replacement is often the only official repair method.
Can you give some feedback as to how people can feel confident you will produce this machine?

People are used to larger teams taking literally years to put out a machine - see "Odyssey Argos" and "Meticulous" - and years of delays after preorder is announced.

Both are probably not significantly more complicated than your machine - and you are aspiring to also put out a grinder with a totally new concept.

I am really excited about the product, but I think answering the above will go some way to help you get a lot of preorders.

Additionally, re: the pumps, I would love to order and put these in my Decent. The Decent uses really standard vibe pumps (which are super annoying) but what does the flow rate look like compared to standard vibe pumps? The decent can get up to 8ml/s I think - but it uses two pumps to mix hot and cold water. So I wonder if this would be about the same as a traditional vibe pump.
Why is that?

Just because an orderly liquidation would take some time does not mean it would be impossible for him to sell.

We also would have some inputs on some of the short-lived territories in the U.S. West that were important and had a role in later regional development. How much do we need to substantiate the addition of a specific territory to the project?
Aside from the "lost state of Franklin", there were territories like Jefferson/Colona, Huron, Lincoln, Shoshone and a number of others that pop up from the late 1850's up to the 1890's.

> Why does she need hardcopy? Email was supposed to save trees!

Old habits take a while to change. Managers and executives were used to reports and memos on paper. So when email arrived, it was very common for secretaries to print emails for their bosses to read. Even at one of my early jobs in the 1990s, changes deployed to production had to be documented in memo form, and a copy of the memo printed, along with diffs of the code changes, and filed in a filing cabinet.

We got there eventually. I'd say that for all but the oldest generation still working, printing any kind of document to hardcopy has become pretty rare, at least where I'm working.
It has everything to do with illegal immigration because illegal immigration is a constant influx of people that are within the "right" demographics for crime (young, male, less educated, less wealthy etc). If you change the demographics of a country to add poor young people every year, you get a higher incidence of crime by definition.
Gotta ask one themselves. I'd wager their answer would be along of the lines of centenarians answering "How did you get so old?": "I don't know" (i.e. genes)

This is all good advice. Confidence isn't only "Gigachad" energy. Just being comfortable with yourself and accepting whatever you are displays confidence. Constantly looking down at yourself and whatever problems you have is not in any way productive. No one will ever be attracted to a guy prattling on about facial features ratios or other Incel cult bullshit. Not even attracted, no one wants to listen to that because it's just cult programming promulgated by people using your feelings of inadequacy to sell you or sell you something.

Very few people look like Sloth from Goonies, someone you can easily describe as a goblin in terms of looks. Being overweight, scrawny, or having some unflattering features does not make anyone a goblin by any sane definition.

The Incel cult bullshit reduces human being down to genetic robots that can't think or choose for themselves. It also requires you to ignore the world around you where ugly/fat/whatever people all over are in loving relationships. No one is automatically behaving because genes favor something. Normal actual humans have free will and make their own choices.

Many plants have evolved the production of capsicum because mammals have a sensitivity to the chemical. In the wild mammals will avoid capsicum bearing plants. As a mammal capsicum causes me pain. Despite my genetic programming I love many spicy foods and willingly prepare and eat them regularly. The Incel cult bullshit would have you believe because I have a genetic predisposition towards avoiding discomfort and a susceptibility to the pain causing effects of capsicum I would never eat so much as a bell pepper ever.

Everyone has physical imperfections. Every attractive person you ever see takes a shit eventually. They get acne. They have body odor. They get ingrown toenails and sweat. Some attractive people have awful personalities or are just personally insufferable. Some are dumb as a bag of hammers. Others are psychotic or just assholes to the core. Many good looking people only look so good at certain ages and change significantly over time. Physically good looks are far far from the only measure of the quality of a person or their overall personal attractiveness.

There are vanishing few genius super model warrior poets in the world. There is zero utility in looking down on yourself for not being one of them. It's also ridiculous to assume everyone else in the world is holding out for those super rare specimens. It's also problematic when your primary concern for a romantic partner is physical attractiveness. There's way more important things than physical attractiveness when it comes to romantic relationships.
Plenty of languages have immutable data without monads or even being statically typed. Clojure is a fine example. And there is also the somewhat popular https://immutable-js.com/ that brings the benefits of immutable data to JavaScript.
Sure it will be, as long as the price is right. If you live in the sticks, not serviced by fibre/cable then 200meg for £75p/m isn’t the end of the world (if you can afford it).

But if you can be serviced with fibre/cable then it’s just not worth it (imo).

For example where I live, I could get 500/75 meg fttp connection for less than half the per month cost of starlink, not have to fork over £300 for hardware upfront, nor pay for shipping or Starlinks congestion charge, and I’m not even in an area that offers an altnet (which would either be cheaper still and/or offer a symmetrical service).

But if I was stuck on a shitty copper line with very low speeds, didn’t want to move, and mobile internet wasn’t an option. I would consider using it. But all depends on if you can afford it to determine if it’s a good value or not.
We aren't particularly in a period of scarcity. New Zealand's a rich country with a stable GDP.

Also, ROI is the wrong frame to use for government activity. If something has significant short-term ROI, then normal commercial capital's a good match. If it has large long-term ROI, then that's VC's domain. It's government's job to make investments in public goods, things that don't have ROI in the sense usually meant here.

I've just created a draft and pre-release of a sci-fi / cyber punk short story or short novel that I would like feedback on.

It has themes of simulated realities, advanced humanoid reptilians and hints of humour. Influenced by Philip K Dick, Robert Sheckley, Douglas Adams and Kurt Vonnegut.
I personally replace it with logging. In most other languages, the common thing is to log error message up in the stack, where you actually handle the error in some way. In Zig, I do it whenever I trigger an error. I've only used Zig for one server application, so having a lot of error messages in logs works fine, even if some of them are possible redundant.
That actually happened this year. We just haven't realized it yet.
I mean that's like saying that a star's brightness isn't a problem when searching for exo planets, and they only block you from seeing the objects behind them. Obviously that's not true. Light pollution from orbital satellites is a real thing.

Mostly you are doing statistics, which is math. Social science (when it is the good thing) also uses statistics to get answers to questions.
Using the law of the excluded middle is definitely a shortcut in such proofs, but there is no proof I'm aware of that shows no comparable constructive proof is possible. We reason with non-computable objects all of the time, such constructions are simply never fully materialized, and the need to materialize them are typically eliminated in later stages to prove concrete results. It's a good example but I don't think it's sufficient to exclude math from computer science.
One of the stronger criticisms of Economics as a discipline is that double-blind reviewing of papers is uncommon, and there has been a trend in the past 25 years for the subset of Econ journals that did use double-blind reviewing to move away from it.

Not being an economist, I was surprised to learn this. There are reasons for it, e.g., the prevalence of working papers in the field, but it promotes insularity of ideas and creates an uneven playing field for less well-known and connected researchers.
Also, Rich has many years of experience using all three of those languages.
> And it's also easy to expand later

As I pointed out in another comment, RAM is soldered on most non-desktop computers these days. It's not easy to expand later. The hardware companies are well aware of that, pushing overpriced RAM upgrades at the time of purchase and it's not like you can just walk into a store and say "I'd like this laptop but with last year's GPU model and 2x the RAM for the same price."

Sounds like the business model they’ve decided to use might not be viable.

I mean, actually it makes sense. Their job is to pay for expensive procedures, sometimes quite urgently needed. They can’t really ethically insert themselves into the decision making process, so if these companies were run ethically they’d be signing themselves up for unlimited risk.

Maybe they shouldn’t exist.

"At the limit limit," you can detect the unstructured branches littered through the codebase of people using Result and convert it all into clean structured exceptions, and even automatically remove all the boilerplate this paradigm uses to propagate errors; this is at least a reasonable thought process due to the same reason you can (much more trivially) implement your exception mechanism by burning a return register for an error code and compiling in a ton of branches (which isn't insane if you in fact want to throw an error often: this is all just a tradeoff that Rust made awkward and its community turned into a religious war).

It isn't easy, though, as the Rust way of doing this--letting people pass around a bare Result without the structure of a monad (which is why Haskell's version of this idea looks like exceptions, and why it is so frustrating when people incorrectly claim Rust has "monadic" error handling)--makes it extremely easy to pull off what should be "stunts", such as holding onto a Result and trying to resolve them in an irreducible order; but, "hopefully", most code isn't making that mistake (and you can still implement it by adding a spurious expensive catch in just the places they did that)... but like, that's why I think the person you are responding to might have said "at the limit limit", to really emphasize that this is a pretty complicated reduction to automatically apply globally and truly result in 0 cost.

> This research explores transgender young people’s experiences of positive family support in Aotearoa. Family support is protective for transgender youth but we lack evidence of what it looks like for young people of diverse cultures. Our project diversifies research on this topic, extending it from parents to young people themselves and their broader family, from monocultural majority to ethnically diverse participants, and from trauma to resilience. Our gender and culturally diverse team will interview twelve transgender young people (3 Māori, 3 Pasifika, 3 Asian, and 3 Pākehā) and five each of their most valued supporters. We will use the innovative method of reflective drawing, asking participants to draw and discuss their experiences of family support. Our visual and verbal discourse analysis will paint a picture of how families successfully support transgender youth, drawing on perspectives of gender diversity and family in Māori, Pasifika, Asian and Pākehā communities. This will be the first discourse-based research in this area, advancing knowledge in transgender studies, family studies and language and gender. It will explore how young people and their families challenge oppressive social structures through discourse and provide insights for those seeking to be part of the village that raises a transgender child.
The parent post talks about "recent years". Postmodernism being in any way dominant hasn't been a thing (in American universities) since the late 80s or maybe early 90s. The common approach these days is theoretical pluralism.
>One must have a certain amount of wealth just to be able to travel to enough different places in the world to notice that they are all kind of similar.

You don't need to travel in person to see things. I like watching videos of foreign countries, and part of the appeal is seeing different architecture. I don't want every country to look the same, even if I never travel there. And poor people can usually afford cheap smartphones, so they can also enjoy watching foreign videos.

The link I posted found illegal immigrants over-represented in crime stats. Again, it can be that some crimes are so widespread that they don't get reported anymore (shoplifting, littering or breach of peace for example).

Ask HN: Would Anyone Pay to Go After Phishers and Scammers?
Hey HN,

I’m exploring an idea and wanted to get feedback from the community, particularly anyone dealing with phishing scams or online fraud at scale.

The premise: I want to make phishing and scamming operations more expensive for attackers—without crossing any legal or ethical lines.

The approach:

- Investigate phishing/scamming campaigns to identify their infrastructure and operations.

- Strategically initiate "cost-inflation" campaigns to drive up the attackers' expenses, making it less profitable for them to target specific domains or organizations.

This could involve tactics like the repeated browsing of phishing sites to increase bandwidth usage and submitting consistent fake data to counter their attacks on customers' personal information.

The goal:

While completely stopping phishing is likely unrealistic, making it significantly more expensive and less profitable can lead attackers to move on.

I’ve observed that many companies either won’t take action or feel they can’t do much to combat phishing, but I believe there’s an opportunity here. Scammers often operate on razor-thin margins, and making targeted attacks costlier could have an outsized impact.

The potential service:

Businesses suffering from large-scale phishing attacks could pay per quarter for these targeted, legally-sound countermeasures.

What this won’t include: This strictly follows legal and ethical guidelines—no hacking, DDoS, or compromising servers.

---

- Are there organizations that might find this valuable?

- Are there existing companies or services doing something similar already?

- What potential legal or ethical pitfalls should I be considering?
I am using fnv-1a to hash Objective-C method selectors, which are generally just identifier characters and zero or multiple ':'. At the time of my research, fnv-1a had the least collisions over my set of "real life" selectors. I think, it could be worthwhile some time, to try out other constants for maybe even less collisions. Is your list of good primes available ? (And maybe also those that are not quite perfect)
