> I don't know about that, but certainly it has exposed a significant weakness in the US democratic structure: it is based on the supposition that everyone will follow the rules (i.e., accepting the results of an election, following the laws passed by congress, etc.) A president who defies both conventions and laws is hard to stop.

This isn't true at all.

The main way the President is stopped is through the courts, which is already underway, but Trump has actually prevailed in several decisions (e.g. right to cancel government contracts, right to fire probationary employees) while blocked other (e.g. birthright citizenship).

But it's not one court decision since it can be appealed all the way to the Supreme Court (which Trump intends to do on several issues).

Impeachment is a very high bar which is usually reserved for serious violations of the law or process. We aren't anywhere close to that.
You can argue until you are blue in the face that people should not have interpreted what he wrote as offensive. But in fact a very large number of people did.
Not surprised.

A public company like Google doesn’t have to put profit first - but without competition there’s not much else to go for.
There's nothing wrong with offering consumer services through not-for-profit or public benefit corporations. The problem is getting enough initial capital to keep it running until it's cash flow neutral. Regular investors want to maximize returns so then you're stuck trying to find wealthy people to donate. Good luck with that.

Wow, that's an abusive ordering function. Presumably this is a thing people might write in... Javascript? And I'm guessing Javascript has to put up with them doing this and they get a coherent result, maybe it's even shuffled, because eh, it worked in one browser so we're stuck with it.

In Rust this abuse would either "work" or panic telling you that er, that's not a coherent ordering so you need to stop doing that. Not certain whether the panic can only arise in debug builds (or whether it would detect this particular abuse, it's not specified whether you will panic only that you might if you don't provide a coherent ordering).

In C++ this is Undefined Behaviour and there's a fair chance you just introduced an RCE vulnerability into your codebase.

True.

It’s kind of the reverse of IPv4.

In v4 you could have a million people behind one address.

In v6 you at maximum have one person behind an address, but that one person may actually be using a million addresses.

That's the first thing I said in this conversation. I did not ever suggest that single precision was enough. A hundred digits is beyond octuple precision. Octuple has 19 exponent bits, and in general every step up adds 4 more.

And going further up the comment chain, the original version was your mention of computing 40 followed by hundreds of digits of precision.
I've been using Caddy since the early days, and a few times looked into using Traefik, but it's config looked pretty complicated for what is a simple reverse proxy on Caddy.
In the US you can’t grant coins any ownership or benefits that might vary in value. Meme coins are the only legal crypto so that’s all you get. It’s like Obama only legalizing giant pickup trucks.
Is entropy real, or is it a purely intellectual tool of thought?
This seems like a tautology.

By definition people with low credibility have to fight an uphill battle to get their claims accepted.
Milei, a master economist? Great joke!

Some reports indicate he gets paid to say things about products or companies, which has more credibility because he’s, you know, the president. And that’s what happened with this meme coin thing.
Netflix is an organization that coordinates numerous other businesses and people such that it results in the creation of video files in the cloud that people sufficiently desire to watch such that they are willing to pay Netflix.

And while video files in the cloud sounds not so exemplary, simultaneously delivering video files to hundreds of millions of devices is not trivial.
Very nice colours. However I am mildly red-green colour blind like 5% of men (and very few women) and the two in the middle look practically the same to me. The left and third from left are almost indistinguishable too. I'm guessing this isn't the case for everybody?
I also had a good impression from hearing him speak. He's clearly highly educated and intelligent. But he's also a supporter of Carlos Menem, a famously corrupt politician in the long history of corruption in Argentina.

Whether or not Milei truly wishes to help his country, or if he's using his power for personal gain, is difficult to say. As an outsider, I don't have an informed opinion. But I'm inclined to believe that the truth is somewhere in the middle. The reality is that the vast majority of people who seek political power are egomaniacs and sociopaths. Very few actually want to help their country.
Obviously it is 1.

But try it on iOS calculator, answer is 0.

Reason is when computing large numbers e.g. 100000........n + 1 - 100000........n, addition of 1 is pretty in-significant.

Unless you're paying for it 100% out of pocket, this will never happen.

In all socialized systems the government decides what your doctor can do, 100% of the time. Of course from a patient perspective it looks much less restrictive, but that's only because your doctor never brings up treatments that aren't paid for.

One of the big issues with the US system is that the patient is put right in the middle of the decisions so sees all the rejections, has to deal with all the paperwork, and pays the price when things go wrong.

The difference is now Google will pass on user-identifying information to the advertisers who use its services.

Google always has this info. Now they are going to share it with their customers.
> What am I missing?

Your theory:

> If you have a casual system, then statistically, things will tend to become more disordered over time, because there are just more ways to be disordered than ordered.

contains a tacit assumption that states are chosen at random. But assuming that is begging the question. Why are states chosen at random? What is the source of the randomness? Newtonian mechanics doesn't have any obvious source of randomness, and it's an open question whether quantum randomness is "really random". Bohmian mechanics is completely deterministic, and so is (obviously) superdeterminism.

It's true that "there are more ways to be disordered than ordered", but in any time-reversible dynamic there are exactly as many states where entropy decreases as there are states where entropy increases because for any entropy-increasing state, the time-reversed state has decreasing entropy.
Thank you for your suggestion. I edited to the post to use "regulation" instead of "law."

The Minkowski metric is

Δs = sqrt(-Δt^2 + Δx^2 + Δy^2 + Δz^2)

One aspect of this is that, if you sub `t -> -t'`, that's just as good a solution too. Which would suggest any solution with a positive time direction can have a negative time direction, just as easily. Is this widely assumed to be true, or at least physically meaningful?

There's also Wick rotations, where you can sub `t -> it'`, and then Minkowskian spacetime becomes Euclidean but time becomes complex-valued. Groovy stuff.

I'm not much of a physics buff but I loved reading Julian Barbour's The Janus Point for a great treatment of the possibility of negative time.

The craziest thing I've seen though is the suggestion that an accelerating charge, emitting radiation that interacts with the charge itself and imparts a backreacting force on the charge, supposedly has solutions whose interpretation would suggest that it would be sending signals back in time. [0]

Dude me too. Such a goofy bug oversight. But, fortunately, an easy fix with a firmware upgrade.

Hate to say it as a proud American and fanboy of HP’s legacy, but these folks are coming for Keysight on the low end.
On a universal scale, time is a distinctly human construct and it clearly warps based on location, distance from Earth, and is heavily influenced by our biology and location in the solar system (days, years, etc).

It just doesn’t matter on a universal level.
Can you name a single ICO that produced something of value before the SEC cracked down on what are (obviously) unregistered security offerings?
There are many reasons why I wouldn't hire everyone else in my company as a contractor. One reason is that this is bad for the employee/contractor. I wouldn't be able to give that person benefits for example. I need to attract the best people to my company and that means giving them fair compensation including benefits.

Yes, PTO does go into indirect costs and can not go into direct costs. Labor is separated out by hours worked for each customer. Any PTO of time working on indirect, those hours can not be billed to a customer.
The TI-92 and similar have a full-on computer algebra system that they use when they're in exact mode [1]. It does symbolic manipulation.

This is different from what the post (and linked paper) discuss, where the result will degrade to recursive real arithmetic, which is correct but only to a bounded level of precision. A CAS will always give a fully-exact (although sometimes very unwieldy) answer.

I'm sure he does, as long as there's a mechanical linkage.
I have to agree with you in a lot of cases. It is basically too many middle men jumping into the space between buyers and sellers and gambling with the different expectations between them and putting in a lot of work to scrape every potential extra penny.

There is some value in being the messenger, but of course they decide to try gambling with their messages and offers in order to try and extract more value out of their message than it is really worth. And they justify it with their overly convoluted story about having to trade through 6 different people, all of whom are trying to scam each other and end up sending 2nd and 3rd and 4th messages of their own farther down the line letting everybody else see a deal is coming and trying to interject themselves in it to extract more value. Until eventually the seller was driven down to the bare minimum sale price, and the buyer it driven up to the maximum cost they can afford. Both buyer and seller are worse off, but all the gambling middlemen came out of it feeling satisfied that they spent all day pretending they aren't complicit because they only dealt with other middlemen and ignore the fact that the group of them as a whole are scamming buyers and sellers.

They justify scalping products by claiming they mostly only deal with other scalpers and as long as the scalped products are moving around pretend they are providing value.

With Half-Life and Dishonored, the bleakness always felt somewhat self-contained. Which those games can't really do anything about because they have levels and they're linear. Metro gets to escape that because the entire game is bleak.

I don't think any game has made me feel more like "this really is a forsaken desolate place" like Velen in The Witcher 3.

Per the article, it's completely possible. Frankly I'd say they found the obvious solution, the one that any decent programmer would find for that problem.

I think your pitch would be significantly stronger if the resources you linked didn't largely revolve around "What if Snoop Dogg had his own currency?"

I'm not ... completely unable to be persuaded that there are use cases for cryptocurrency. But "Ashton Kutcher should have Aston Kutchercoin, and develop some sort of referral-based pyramid-shaped scheme with it for his fans" is... what is that?
> Having two internets suggests that it's totally different, in the sense that there is no address space overlap between IPv4 and IPv6, an inherent design flaw of the IPv6 protocol.

It is not a design flaw of IPv6, it is a limitation of the laws of physics: how can you fit >32 bits of data (IPv6) into 32 bit data structures (IPv4: struct s_addr)?

Even if the IPng protocol could recognize IPv4 address and send out data, how can a host which only understands 32-bit addresses send back a reply back to the IPng host? If a packet with a >32b address comes in, how would a 32b-only hosts be able to handle it?

From Bernstein:

> In other words: The current IPv6 specifications don't allow public IPv6 addresses to send packets to public IPv4 addresses. They also don't allow public IPv4 addresses to send packets to public IPv6 addresses.

How would a non-updated IPv4 system know about the IPng protocol? If a non-updated router had a IPng packet arrive on an interface, how would it know how to handle the packet and routing?

All the folks criticizing IPv6 don't ever describe how this mythical system would work: how do you get 32-bit-only system to understand more-32-bits of addressing? Translation boxes? Congratulations, you've just invented 6rd BR or NAT64, making it no different that IPv6.

The primary purpose of IPng was a bigger address space, but how would that work without updating every single IPv4 device? You know, like had to be done for the eventual IPng, SIPP (aka IPv6).

It's not tiny when you include the need for ongoing support. It's the difference between enabling unattended-upgrades and (mostly) forgetting the thing exists, or adding another item onto your CVE tracking list and either building pipelines to automatically rebuild and update the server, or doing it manually every time a security bulletin comes out.

When you have more than one system, it can't be just dismissed away.
Alright, the guy retweeting eugenics and antisemitic replacement theory content, cozying up to a German neo-nazi party with prominent holocaust denying members threw a gesture twice that is exactly the same in shape and context as the Hitler salute, but we better give him the benefit of the doubt. This is absolutely ridiculous.
> but really anything Israel adjacent is not going to last long on hacker news. Arguing about it does not do much to build community.

hahaha, anything bad adjacent china/russia/DPRK(aka enemies of the democracy) were never flagged

but to be fair, there are rarely any disputes under these submits.

> Lots of users flag things because it’s a guaranteed flame war

no, lots of users flag things because it doesnt fit the narrative

i know this clearly, you know this clearly, everyone knows this clearly, some just pretend they don't

However, I believe this is precisely one manifestation of democracy. Just as the Israeli people "democratically" support genocide, once you control education and dominate the narrative, democracy will do the rest for you

20 years later, genocide in gaza will become misinformation pushed by CCP and Putin, everyone mention it will be flagged
I like the clean simplicity of the website but I also don’t understand it.

"uchu" translates closer to "space" (spaceship -> uchusen), (alien -> uchujin), "I want to go to outerspace" -> "uchi e ikitai".

You can't sub universe in those. Yes, a dictionary may use that translation, but watch a space documentary and they won't use "uchu" by itself for "universe".

Also, in English, "universal" and "universe" are clearly related, but in Japanese, the concept of "universal" has almost nothing in common with "uchu"
Never mentioned again? You haven't been on the right parts of the Internet. It's still a common belief. Probably true too

The difference now is that professional market participants act on this "theory" by physically moving a significant amount of gold from UK to US. And "weeks-long" withdrawal queues certainly do not look great and confidence inspiring.

The Solana trenches are effectively a giant crime-riddled casino. Everyone who plays understands this -- you can make money but you're essentially gambling. I'm not saying this is OK, but it's the current state of things.

When this $Libra token launched, everything else dumped as capital flowed into it, and then effectively got siphoned off by insiders. So even people that didn't chase "Argentina's coin" got screwed. Rinse, lather, repeat. There are some winners in this game, mostly insiders and cabals, but a whole bunch of losers.

I would say something's gotta give, but the stark reality is that America's casinos are always jampacked with dream chasers.
Unfortunately acquiring company wont let us just fire people, including those who live in an at-will state. I’m leaving the company in 2 weeks so it won’t be my problem anymore as an employee, but I’m still trying to wrap my head around why people object to layoffs/firings in general.

Zuck fired a large number of “underperformers” (obviously if they’re based on performance reviews there is plenty of room for error) and critics said that firing people for that reason destroys their dignity. I see it as giving them an opportunity to actually earn their dignity. I know that the people who are duds in our company have a negative reputation, so is allowing them to keep their job and bad reps really keeping their dignity? To me, that results in a middling (at best) society. It’s a dangerous trait to keep in a culture. Letting people exist in a way that doesn’t allow them to flourish is a very cruel thing to do to them and to the future of humanity.

For me it was the trash blowing around on the ground when you step off of the train. I immediately picked up the trash and started throwing it around myself. My mind was blown.

That said I still prefer HL1 overall. Its more high impact and brutal. There's nothing in HL2 that's quite like accidentally blowing away a black mesa scientist and having gore spray everywhere. HL1 is just viscerally more violent, and also I dislike how NPCs in HL2 have basically deified Gordon and constantly suck him off. In HL1 the security guards are bros but the scientists treat you with annoyance. I get the whole subplot of freed vortegants turning you into a heroic figure, but I think that's just a thin plot excuse for Valve's decision to make the player feel like a special person. Also all of the "girlfriend simulator" stuff is cringe that aged poorly.

To be fair, a lot of this is attributed to your gut microbiome being adapted to the bacteria in your usual diet. Some food may not sit well with you — not necessarily because the food is “bad” but because your system isn’t used to the new bacteria.

That’s why locals are fine but tourists aren’t in most cases.

On a funny side note, when I was in Nepal we did get some food at a pretty popular restaurant. Everyone had horrific food poisoning later that night, except me since I didn’t touch the cheese!

People remember famous scientists like Einstein, Feynman, or even Bill Nye the Science Guy, and believe it's obvious that white men are more qualified in STEM, and anyone denying it is in denial. They ignore that before the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972, discrimination was legal in the US, and that Ivy League universities only started admitting women from 1969 to 1981 (depending on the university).

People who say they can tell the percentage of DEI hires on sight—up to two significant digits from a data set, like "99%"—imagine that the past was a meritocracy, because they never grew past these simple stories to encourage children to pursue science.
It's as though, as we get more and more addicted to phones, smaller and smaller acts of willpower count as worthy of bragging about.

I think while things may complain simply pulling the power to the ISP modem/router and doing a full shutdown of any phone would replicate what they are doing. If you wanted you could have a separate AP from the router that could stay running even when the router loses internet to keep the local network running, but if we're being honest... does it really matter?

Most devices might complain, but most will simply stop working silently and then reconnect when they have a chance. Some might need to be power cycled because they gave up trying to connect (I had a smart garage door that had bad connectivity and would sometimes do a version of this).
