I suppose it depends on how you view things and what tradition you're from.

I have a very old-style view, where courts provide systems that substitute for private vengeance and thus become legitimate by being willing to hear complaints of harm, so from my point of view, if a court hear the matter, the affected person can take whatever measures they wish, which of course has important consequences in cases of legal immunity-- when my view is taken, legal immunity is something one desperately wants to avoid having, because whoever has it must contend with private vengeance.
That's comparable to the revenue of a single (top-level) soccer club: https://www.sportico.com/leagues/soccer/2024/manchester-unit...
https://www.espn.com/soccer/story/_/id/40629331/real-madrid-...

A quick Google search suggests that the Olympics feature about 10k athletes in summer games and 3k in winter games - 2-3 orders of magnitude more than the typical 20-30 players on staff at a soccer club. I wouldn't be surprised if the wage gap was even more crass than those numbers suggest, but it shows that major spectator sports are an entirely different game.

If you seriously think that there is even a tiny chance of fencing ever continuously bringing in even half as much viewers as football, I don't know what to tell you. The uncertainty there is not weather report level, more like "the sun will rise tomorrow".
It must have been a survey course. Frankly, I found the course rather elementary.

I mean, there's always a dominant fashion trend (_particularly_ in interior decoration; you can really date this to within a few years in many cases), and there are always people who don't conform to it. This isn't new and hasn't changed.
In one-to-one conversations, what you and the other person are interested in really matters.

In group conversations, people don't care what you are interested in. They just want to hear where their interest lies at the beginning of the conversation. Once you catch their attention, they'll start giving input. Now it's your time to align their inputs with what you are interested in.

In public speaking and conversations like TED Talks and conferences, the communication methods are completely different.
I could see adapting Epic to a very different medical system being hard and error prone.
Yea I always thought it was a bit silly that the method for winning was charging at your opponent and stabbing them a hundredth of a second before they stab you. As a person who knows nothing about fencing besides watching it on TV at the olympics once I think they should change the rules where it's not who stabs who first, but who stabs the other without getting stabbed themselves.
You could flip it around like that. In this case I have chosen to have the "Released Date" as being when the benchmark was published and the "Solved Date" to be when an AI system had a human-level performance for that specific benchmark.
Airbnb still has better selection than most platforms, especially for longer term rental. also having comments and ratings of hosts is useful when booking overseas.

It is always possible to contact the host directly and bypass the platform, but only when breadcrumbs of info are left by the hosts (e.g. a logo to a website, reverse image search, etc) however making payments is much more difficult from past experience and not all hosts prefer this option

Of course, if you already are in the city and not pressed for time, you can typically find much better deals in person, especially in cities that are not very tech savvy

This is probably a naive question because I am not local, but how usual are wild fires during the winter?

There seems to be snow large parts of the US and freezing temperatures. In LA it is currently 8°C (46°F), which is not freezing, but also not hot.

Does this suggest even bigger fires are to be expected in the summer this year when it is actually hot?

Your actions are controlled by their consequences, not cops.

You go to work, like everyone else. You are civil to people - because you choose - and keep your job.

Your freedom is a false illusion and can be boiled down to statistics, your zip code, age, IQ, etc.

Even your advocacy of uncaused agency is, itself, fully caused, reinforced, shaped and controlled.

And I never said evolution is exclusively a reference to natural selection- it's cache is due to the prestige of such ideas. Your sloppy usage and weak defense of such use doesn't prove anything.

If you don't care about performance, which you just said you didn't, then the RPi4 ticks all the boxes you mentioned.

Given the list of things you care about, the RPi5 is not really an upgrade over the RPi4. Hence why I think it's a very niche board.

Had they instead made the RPi5 be a cheap RPi4, I think it would have been much more interesting. I bought some RPi4's 2GB boards when they were $30 each. That was a great price and enables a lot of fun and interesting use-cases.

Pretty much every newspaper/TV news channel/news website in Europe has a left-wing or right-wing bias.

This article and the EU's comments feel like they are trying to interfere because they don't like the direction of the alleged bias, not because of any legal issues (apart from any clearly illegal contents)... So it is a very political struggle of the left and centre vs the right even if they won't of course admit it. That's pretty much the general political landscape in Europe at the moment.

I've been running a public facing weather website on my RPi2 since 2014. I am still on the same SD card since all HTML assets and logs are on tmpfs. The only thing being written to the SD card are entries to the DB once every 5 minutes.
I used to have health issues that made sitting for long periods of time near impossible. As my team was aware, pretty much all meetings I had my camera off as I used the opportunity to walk around the house with wireless headphones.

My health issues are fixed now, thankfully, but I intend to continue doing that if possible, as it makes the experience far less tiring and I feel much more focused. I think the lack of video is as important a factor as the physical activity.
The entire economy is based on competition; if we agree that cooperation beats competition for the common good, then we have much larger systemic changes to do before we get to sports.

I'm not the OP but have a little collection of mini pcs (5 of them) so, if you'll allow me, I'll comment on why I have them...

The form factor is very convenient, two of them are my mother and my wife's "desktop" pcs - they're both attached to their monitors and, with wireless keyboards and mice they stay discreet and don't take up a lot of room but are very good desktops for daily email reading, recipe browsing and facebooking. My mother and wife don't complain about them - they're more interested in the the compact size and staying out of the way than the performance.

Two of them are small servers that I run stuff that my Raspberry Pis can't handle (I still don't have a Pi 5, WAY too expensive around here) - quick, low noise and isn't too power hungry. Runs linux perfectly and I never have a problem with software (the n100 is a great little CPU). I have 2 because of some weird sale on Aliexpress - 2 for the price of 1-and-a-half was something I couldn't pass up on.

The final one is attached to our main TV, it's a converted TV box (running Armbian) that's an amazingly powerful piece of cheap hardware. It's our main movie viewer (off of our DLNA NAS) it can hand 1080p video just fine on a crappy 5V power supply.

Show HN: Factorio Blueprint Visualizer
Hey there, I'm a big fan of the game Factorio and the beauty of factories in the game. That's why I created a website to artfully visualize Factorio blueprints a few years ago. With the new 2.0 update, a few things broke. I took the opportunity to rewrite everything from Python to JavaScript and support Factorio 2.0 and the Space Age DLC. It's now also possible to easily modify the style of the drawings. Let me know if you find any bugs or if you have ideas for features.
It's pretty common for would-be vegetarians to be "carbotarians" and fail to feed themselves properly because they simply don't know any better and eat primarily bread and pasta. I also had this experience of being a ravenous carbotarian, but my roommates were all vegetarians and taught me. If you don't know vegetarians, look to athletes and home chefs for advice.

Tl;Dr combine a grain with a legume at least once a day to obtain a full protein. Beans and rice is a good staple, for example (but to reduce exposure to arsenic you should parboil the rice[1] as well as rotate through some other staples). Put peanut butter or peanut protein powder in stir fries, put hummus in your sandwiches, eat eggs, etc. And, I know it sounds obvious, but it's a reminder I needed, do actually eat vegetables.

It's not difficult but if you've eaten meat your whole life you may need to change some habits, because you have more room to get away with a poor diet if you're eating meat.

> So I just book with booking.com and 2. for longer rentals, the experience is both unpredictable and the price are x2-3 times higher.

Personally, I have also found that AirBNB is amongst the worst in class for booking accommodation - especially because they, as Americans love, use opaque pricing.
I honestly don't know. I spent much money with Booking until I needed help again last year, just to notice that they nether have the resources nor the interest to actually help.

In the past (many years ago) one booking call would usually solve all my issues, even finding translators and discussing with the hotel owners until issues have been solved.

Now they just want to upsell insurances, and send me constant coupons for things I don't want or need.

They are also very annoying with trying to get me back. One accidental click can easily result in 3 or more emails. I really don't get why they didn't try to keep me instead of trying to get me back afterwards.
New buildings are meant for the floor to ceiling windows to look good to the people who will have them in their corner offices, but the floor plans are too deep to save the peons from overhead tube fluorescents.

What are really awesome are office buildings constructed before electric lighting was ubiquitous. They’re designed with shallow floor plates or inner open spaces so that (unless you break them up too much with cubicle walls) every desk can be fully illuminated with natural light.
If it's criminal harrassment - I'd expect the police et al to do the prosecution.

A Brief History of Moral Panics Concerning Kids and Their Chosen Media
Typical insurance behaviour, not specific to AirBnB¹.

The issue is the difference between the more vaguely defined “Major Disruptive Event” and an “Act of God”/“Act of Nature”. The latter has a fairly specific legal definition²³, and clauses covering it pretty much always override any protections offered by other clauses, no matter what policy adverts may lead you to believe when signing up and later making a claim.

----

[1] Not that I'm particularly a fan of AirBnB, but they are far from the only company guilty of this. Insurance is often very scummy.

[2] Though that definition does vary in detail between jurisdictions.

[3] ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Act_of_God
Well raves were free parties, and could be outside or in like an abandoned warehouse etc.
Can you explain to me how the airbnb support was useful because my experience is that they are really useless and will do nothing of substance. They’ll contact the host which might scare him a bit but aside from that they almost never refund and they also do not vet their hosts. For the ratings, I’ve found that particularly for Airbnb they are meaningless. The system is heavily biased toward both parties rating each other favorably. I’ve stayed in countless 5 stars rated places that are completely disappointing.

Again, I do find value in what Airbnb is supposed to offer. I’d gladly pay more if I found this same place through Airbnb. I’d also pay more if there were serious and strong refund guarantees (ie: book for one month but decide within the first day to cancel for the price of the first day)
Building an open-source Slack replacement
We've been developing a native work chat app that fixes the shortcomings of existing chat apps for work, called Inline (inline.chat).

It's still pre-alpha but we decided to open-source our client apps as we don't like to build in silence.

Also, we wanted to build more trust with the community maybe it helps to show we don't want to be yet another chat app that builds hype, gets acquired and shuts down.

I realize it's extremely hard to make a native chat app for multiple platforms, but we constantly hit web app limits building our previous web-based chat app. We'll be making native apps for Android (Kotlin), Web and Windows (Swift) after the macOS/iOS apps hit a baseline of features.
Orange Pi is pointless as a competitor even with vastly better specs, since it doesn't maintain a good support ecosystem and is just an eventual paperweight.

The choice is really between Raspberry with good custom software support, and an x86 minipc that will run literally anything generic effortlessly.
Your coworkers run a pool on which stupid excuse you will come up with next.
Team sports always matter more because every player on the roster gets a medal. Exact rules vary between sports, but winning a volleyball tournament = winning 12 gold medals, not just one. That's what makes it a top tier sport.

There are even more fringe ones which aren't particularly important under any other circumstances, but matter a lot in the Olympics: water polo (13 players), field hockey (16 players), synchronised swimming (8-10 players) etc.
>And AirBnB reasonably can't keep up with wildfires and other natural disasters because they don't have people on the ground across the world

This is a trick big techs played on the world. AirBnB can and should keep up with wildfires! If they need to hire more staff to do this, so be it. Imagine if traditional hotel sold you a room that is on fire, and said that they don't have enough people to monitor all their properties so it's your fault.

Facebook and other social media do the same thing for moderation (yeah there's a lot of scam, but we can't do anything because we just don't have enough people). Either hire enough people to do your job properly, find an automated solution that works, or go out of business.
For me, its price/space/performance per watt.

THe n100 is tiny, but has enough power to run 3-8 VMs. I used to use KVM, but moved recently to proxmox after I wore out the disk.

I still have some Pis about to do GPIO stuff, but for _serving_ I used x86

Each n100 has an average power draw of < 8watts at the wall (thats when doing lots of CPU.)
It's bookkeeping semantics .. the biggest lender to the US government ahead of Japan, which is ahead of China, is the US government.

Some might describe this as:

Intragovernmental debt records a transfer from one part of the government to another, and therefore has no net effect on the government’s overall finances. As of December 2023, intragovernmental debt totaled $7.0 trillion, a $2.0 trillion increase from a decade ago. In almost all cases, such debt is held in government trust funds — accounting mechanisms to track money designated for a specific purpose or program.

The largest holder of intragovernmental debt is the Social Security Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund, which holds about $2.6 trillion, or 38 percent of intragovernmental debt. Other accounts holding such debt include retirement funds for federal employees, Medicare’s Hospital Insurance Trust Fund, and the Highway Trust Fund.

~ https://www.pgpf.org/article/the-federal-government-has-borr...

Another description of the US debt is: https://usafacts.org/articles/which-countries-own-the-most-u...

And there are other takes.

It's accurate in a sense to rate Japan and China as the largest non US Gov. lenders to the US Gov.

This is a rabbit hole of definitions and viewpoints.
Amidst all of the talk about the reported coercion attempt, which is bad, may I also ask something about the bait and switch: so you paid a lot of money to attend a given university and then even though your grades and everything else would in theory allow you to follow a class you can be blocked because of resource constraints that are not advertised as something you would have to contend with when you paid the big ticket tuition fee?

Look at some more nations, and more history.

If the people really believe in a system of government, then you don't need any words-on-paper constitutions or laws or stuff.

If the people have really lost faith in the system (generally because it repeatedly failed to meet their basic needs), then all the pieces of paper and fancy-looking buildings and robed officials in the world don't count for shit.
The so-called Founder mode is basically necessary when a CEO shows signs they're unable to effectively manage their suite of chiefs and directors to steer the company stably into better times. The founder (often CEO themselves) feels immense board pressure and blames reorganizations (they chose for themselves) for this and goes all-in on another reorganization after firing executives and publicly sharing their epic shareholder letter, while quoting Steve Jobs and other greats.

Absolutely not saying MBA CEOs like Tim Cook are superior (in fact I personally believe the opposite), but for a founder to go into "Panic mode" is an act of childish, unstable behavior. When you stop and think about it from 5000 feet, maybe the founder is the one that should be replaced. It wouldn't be so bad in case of AirBnB.
That's not the point. If everyone has an illegal gun, that's a law not being enforced and mass murder is all-but guaranteed.
