IDK if this is a good argument.

The amendment process has indeed become impractical in the US, and given that "nature abhors vacuum", a different and easier route to bending the constitutional law was found - nominate your people to SCOTUS and let the interpret the Constitution favorably to you.

I would argue that this is a very suboptimal solution to the problem.
What HTTP method would you expect the second example to use? `GET /users/delete?id=354`?

The first has the advantage of being a little clearer at the HTTP level with `DELETE /users/354`.
Maybe it's because other countries are too soft (talking from the perspective of a French who saw suburbs in fire because some people did not want to stop when the police told them so).
Honestly, the Finnish precedent needs to hold. If you’re damaging infrastructure the parties whose crap you’re ruining have the right to board and seize.

We’ve gone through decades of hybrid warfare threading the gaps in the rules-based international order. It doesn’t make sense for Taiwan or Finland to follow those rules when neither of the world’s superpowers—America or China—nor even many of its regional powers—Israel, Russia or Iran—are.

It should be obvious to everyone by now that Musk has some sort of ape-brained obsession with the letter "X," so discussing the rebrand as if it was some soft of carefully considered marketing decision is a bit silly. The point was to feed a man's ego, and I guess it succeeded in that.

Unfortunately, at some point (while I was getting 5-10k SPS), there was this blue droplet(?) (for a lack of a better word) passing down my screen. Tapping it crashed the game for me on Firefox for Android in the sense that pretty much everything turned non-responsive after that. :\

EDIT: Almost crashed Chromium on Android / Vanadium, too.
Having a step-by-step guide and actually being able to follow it are two very different things. If you follow YouTube channels like The Thought Emporium you'll see how hard it is just to duplicate existing lab results from published sources in biology. To go a step further and create new dangerous things without also getting yourself killed in the process is a pretty tall order.
I get that, but I'm looking for more tangible advice. No offense; what you're saying is generally good advice.

I think most commonly: have minimal responsibilities to begin with (no kids, pets, business to run, etc.) If those aren't an issue, costs are pretty minimal, and it's mainly a matter of the long term career and retirement savings implications of not working for several months - those wouldn't stop you if you wanted to do it, they're just a judgement call.
It's a good point. As I understand, it is still debated whether increased meat consumption allowed our bigger brains — though I agree that a balanced and varied diet of natural unprocessed ingredients is likely the healthiest, although not the easiest to maintain, I think.
For some veg frozen can be better than fresh anyway. My family much prefers frozen green beans to fresh. Fresh spinach is full of sand and cooks down so much you have to buy a ton, and after steaming I can’t tell the difference from the frozen block o’ spinach. But avoid frozen carrots, yuck.

Hm, I sense a very positive attitude, so I'm eager to hear more.

I do have some doubts though -- concepts such as compassion and love have been around since, and even before, Christ and Buddha. I don't necessarily see these concepts as being a robust solution though. Bad things keep popping up again and again, and not everyone is equally well off.

Migrating from Firebase to Superbase?
Hi all

I'm looking to open source my project and while I used Firebase to get started, I don't feel right about using a closed source platform for an open source project.

Should it be a drop in job ?

It's a flutter web basic crud app that uses anonymous auth.

Firebase is like an old friend, but I don't like relying on closed source tech.

I'm also thinking of migrating the flutter web project to React. How's Superbase's support there ?
When you see this, particularly on supermarket shelves, this is a deliberate attempt to crowd out other brands.

You're focusing on the micro ("WTF is each one of these ridiculous micro variations?") and not on the macro (Colgate is absolutely dominating that aisle, and fully 75% of the toothpaste choices are Colgate while Crest and Aquafresh fight over the scraps)

It's frustrating and unnecessarily complicated.

This is also by design, more or less. If you give up and "just grab one" you're pretty likely to pick a Colgate, since that represents 75% of the options available and it's also one of the oldest and therefore most "trusted" brands. You can't exactly go wrong with a Colgate, right?

Of course some people will rebel, and say "screw Colgate" and pick some other brand, and some people will just literally pick the cheapest option no matter what.

But again, if I'm Colgate or whatever their parent company? I absolutely love the way that toothpaste aisle looks. 75% of it is Colgate Red and I bet the sales figures hew pretty closely to that.
Isn't this is same lament as "Eternal September" when AOL joined Usenet?

Not saying that you're wrong, but I'm not sure how to leverage this fact for an improvement. Hacker News is good because it's also a "self selecting group", and it won't be pretty if that ever changes.

In France the extreme majority of your grades comes from in-class exams that are essay-based or at least long format rather than multi-choice like in the US. Homeworks are just exercises to learn and aren't graded.

This entirely solves ALL the problems introduced by LLMs.

The US just needs to adapt their evaluation system.
Thank you. It's nice to be able to decode that.

It was a throw-away at the end there. I’d assume a whole chiplet could have its power cut completely. But I don’t know if anybody actually does that.

What nobody mentions about "only you can see this" is that "you" refers to ordinary users of the service and there is no mention if employees are included in that grouping. It has happened before that systems secure from the public were misused by persons with privileges within the organization.

The obvious response is "well, yeah. So? They need it." but that's not how ordinary people, who don't deal with this daily, think. When they see "only you can see this" I think they take it literally.

Haha sure, there are also cases where a game is technically impressive but not actually good/enjoyable. The real magic is when both of these come together.

I think it's still too early for VR games to be both (with a few exceptions). We haven't quite solved major problems like locomotion, motion sickness, and comfort, of course. Maybe a few generations from now we'll start to see truly mesmerizing experiences that are both technically brilliant and enjoyable to play.

Paging through the Brookings document, it tracks pretty closely with what I have seen before. I dont see anything that contradicts what I have said (mobility is higher in the US than elsewhere).

1) Do you have a comparison with European countries that makes you think the US is worse?

2) What do you think US mobility numbers should look like? Pure randomness is not desirable either.
“If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem. If you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem.”

Same applies here. If 10 officers misbehave, it is easy to fire them all, as you suggest.

If a majority of the entire police force defects, your only choice is between limiting the scope of the punishment to a few ringleaders vs. basically disbanding the police force and starting a new one from scratch, hoping that you can even recruit enough people to do so; but, in the meantime, the city won't be policed anymore, as the entire institutional memory has been purged.

In most similar cases in history, the authorities opted for a blanket pardon, as it is much less of a headache.

It is not even a new problem. Police is a relatively recent institution, but armies, gendarmes, legions etc. rebelled all the time, and peace usually had to be bought by concessions.
And people have been warning about these issues back then already : this is what "protocols, not platforms" was about.

(Corporations seeking monopoly is not a new story.)
> This means accepting and documenting the quirks of the current implementation.

If you're planning no new features as a feature, why not first remove those quirks? Why keep them around?

Truly, there exists a middle path: you can make breaking changes and user still can upgrade at their own pace (using future flags, codemods, etc.), you don't have to refuse progress - it's just a "more" work for the creator.

If you truly believe "he is on the right path" without evidence to present and then have to qualify it with "despite <things showing he is on the wrong path or demonstrating bad judgement>" you might want to reconsider how you make effective arguments, draw conclusions, or find people to admire.

I don't see how that addresses what I said. Sure, similar dynamics have existed for a while. And sure, many consumers are happy with simulated achievement.

Imagination is an umbrella term that includes headcanon, but headcanon has a much more narrow and communicative meaning to do specifically with interpreting missing or ambiguous details in established fictional universes by fans or other people who aren't part of the creative team for that universe. Using the word that best fits the idea you're trying to communicate is good, actually. Also, while English does have real words what makes a word real is nothing more than whether when one English speaker uses is can they reasonably expect other English speakers to understand it. Given that everyone who read this thread had no problem understanding the word "headcanon" (including you, despite your protestations, as you were able to define a synonym) that means it's a Real English Word(tm)(c)(r).

You do if you want to route across a broader area which is a different use case to what we are talking about. Two phones right next to each other are routes through the BTS even though they could easily route directly to one another and that is for non functional reasons.
By your own wording, before you learned programming, you learned to compute by hand. Then programming served as a way of automating what you already knew, but you learned it first, and that's the key issue. Don't skip the foundational learning step.

LLMs are just today's flavor of automation. We've automated tasks in the past, and we will automate tasks in the future. Automation happened and will continue to happen regardless of shape and form.

I agree with the high-level sentiment, "We have to be very careful not to prepare our kids for the world we live in." Still, we must also be careful not to skip foundational subjects simply because they're suddenly easy to automate.

I tried it with a single question to chatgpt - Who would make the best president in 2025?

Answer verbatim is below. It feels all kinds of wrong. It's somehow mixing lazy acronyms, "fellow young people" slang, and long words that aren't typical in conversation.

idk who'd actually be the "best," bc that's loaded af. afaict, it's all contingent on values. like, if you’re into stability, maybe someone technocratic. if you're into vibes, someone charismatic and reckless might be your pick. rn the options aren’t exactly aspirational, though.

The author needs medicine for his soul. (The medicine is humility)

It's just the typical story of the person who is successful in his/her field and then decides to "retire" into the hospitality business. And when he fails he blames everybody else and twists himself into confused insinuations about racism and sexism thrown out against the void. Or against a guy named Marc.

"I was the server that day, and even though from the height of my Ph.D. and a half, I like to be the best server I can be..."

That quote confirmed the suspicion I had about the author before I reached it.

As for hating on Google Maps: Your business has to ask to be on Google Maps and you can remove yourself from there if you want. The same with all other platforms. No restaurant is forced to have anything to do with these digital platforms.

Complaining about customers not tipping... It's your restaurant, you can pay your staff more if you want to.

The entire article bears the mark of a nervous breakdown from a hectic industry with a guy who doesn't understand his business in the middle of it. The customers aren't perverts for writing in a review that their waiter was "sweet". My grandmother is also sweet. The customers aren't mean for not being happy with their service from "a twenty-year-old African-American women" as the author puts it.

Hospitality is a cutthroat industry which demands experience and skill if you want to own your own business, just like any other occupation. If you're "retiring" into it, be prepared to loose your money and your time to live your dream. And the money you borrow from relatives and spouses.
