I do. These companies offer me choices and compete for my business. I can deploy to AWS (Amazon), Azure (MS), Google Cloud, or other competitors. My business will go to the one who gives me the best results for the least money. If they fail to provide me the services I want at a price that seems reasonable, or if I'm unhappy with them for any other reason, I can take my business elsewhere. Freedom and consent lie at the heart of private enterprise.

On the other hand, when a government tells me that I can't use the services I want to use and cannot trade with the people I want to trade with because of politics, and that I have to use different services because they're located in a particular region and favored by the government, that's not freedom, nor is it consensual.

I grew up a short distance from the Canadian border in a little town called Kalispell Montana, so I met quite a few Canadian tourists in my younger years, and I personally find it heinous to treat your nation that way. Every single Canadian tourist I ever met was friendly and polite. Downright decent folk overall. Now, I know there's arseholes in Canada same as anywhere, but I suspect as a nation they're largely pretty un-deserving of Trump's insanity affecting them in any way. Sadly, he's convinced he and Musk are King and Emperor of the world. (I don't think they necessarily agree on which is which.)
Only "monocoque" designs use the panels as part of the structure. But normally they're bolted on.

If you look at, say, https://www.paintedcarpanels.co.uk/ford%2Dfocus%2D2008%2D201... - left of photo you can see a "tab" extending from the panel with bolt holes, and top you can see a semi-circular pair of prongs. The panels are bolted on, and the bolts hide inside the engine bay or under other bits of trim.

The Cybertruck deliberately uses flat panels for its "aesthetic", and I believe their material is harder to bend for purposes of making these little fixing points. Combine that with the polygonal structure and there's probably no other way to do it other than welding mounts to the back.

Still a bizarre decision, though: what happens when you need to change a panel? How do you get them unglued only at the right time? How heat-sensitive is it?

Exactly, everybody misunderstands this.

Eisenhower realized that we were crossing a threshold where the US would need a specialized military industry and equipment stockpiles, where you couldn't just mobilize and convert civilian production to military production over the course of 2-3 years anymore like we did in WWII. Should war with the USSR break out, things were going to move too fast for that to be viable, and you simply couldn't take your eye off the ball with respect to developing new technologies either.

The military industrial complex during the Cold War is like the tech giants in the 2010s. Everybody understands their importance, and yet you still have to be vigilant about letting them leverage that into too much political power. That's the point he was trying to get across. The MIC would be highly necessary, but vigilance was required to avoid letting their interests push the government around.
I know a Canadian who was deported 3 weeks ago, got caught flying back and forth between SF and Vancouver. Same process, put in a holding cell, 17 hours later shackled and escorted to a air canada flight, DHS person waited at the front of the plane till the door was closed.

Not sure the Americans can be much more explicit these days, they want their processes followed and they're not tolerating skirting them, Canadian, British or anyone.
> According to Drew, LLM crawlers don't respect robots.txt requirements and include expensive endpoints like git blame, every page of every git log, and every commit in your repository. They do so using random User-Agents from tens of thousands of IP addresses, each one making no more than one HTTP request, trying to blend in with user traffic.

How do they know that these are LLM crawlers and not anything else?
I mean, clearly it isn't in this case. But given that the digits of 2^n are cyclical at each decimal position, it does feel like this should fall out of some sort of chinese remainder theorem manipulation.
Yes your kind of hand waiving is EXACTLY what went down in the 1930s in Germany, everyone was "don't get carried away, this is fine/exaggerated".

> How do I fire an employee? That's right, I don't.

It's easy to fire employees in Germany (especially in small shops), e.g. when they steal, are always late, are badmouthing colleagues, are talking about company internals, are insolent to customers, deliver bad work, and on and on.

You simply have to follow a defined process (basically at least one written warning for the same thing before firing).

What you can't do is having a Musk style temper tantrum and fire someone at will because you feel like that.

Source: I had to fire multiple people in Germany.

Sounds like it me. Why build a crawler that fetches one HTML page per commit in a repository instead of doing a bare-clone and then just get the data from there? Surely would contain even more data too, compared to the HTML page.
Common source, great!

First, you seems to conflate "free markets" (Whatever free means here?) with decentralized spending. How does that make sense?

And more importantly: If we can agree that a democracy ought to be an aspiration for a society, and a functioning democracy requires some minimum level of equality, how will you ensure that under your "free market"?

I'm a US citizen, have been living in Cuenca, Ecuador for almost all of the last 12 years. I was last in the US June-August 2024, intending to do some backpacking in my old haunts in Washington state, plus a bit of sightseeing.

Too hot, for one thing, even in western WA, home of wet, gray winters and (formerly) gorgeous mild summers. Now you can't even go for a hike without registering on recreation.gov, and then also having to drive possibly hundreds of miles out of your way to show up in-person at a national park headquarters anyway. For what, I don't know -- maybe to be fingerprinted. Roads and trails have also seriously deteriorated since I lived there. Infrastructure maintenance seems to be regarded as an unaffordable luxury these days, something to be needed only by freeloaders, never the rich overlords.

The US also felt really creepy, even compared to my last visit in late 2019. These days, in Ecuador, I'm used to going everywhere on foot and dealing with people in a low-key, individual, informal way, but being in the US is more and more like finding oneself in a bad dystopian science-fiction movie.

People there are isolated from one another, it's all about driving around or standing in long lines for self-checkout at stores, or getting into a confrontation with store policy when just trying to (as a 76-year-old) prove that (1) I exist and (2) am really truly old enough to buy beer (via scanning my driver's license for the appropriate data). Yeeps.

The US is now just a crazy, lonely, assembly-line place full of discouragement and homeless people. And I'm not talking about some urban slum -- this is Olympia, WA, which used to be really pleasant.

And guns. If you look, you notice them. Back in 2019 I fended off three aggressive dogs illegally running loose on a suburban trail in advance of a horse-riding couple, then had the guy say he had a gun and had him threaten to kill me for pepper-spraying his dogs, then had him ram his horse into me, then threaten to kill me a second time. Life these days. Nope.

And even I (little old quiet invisible no-criminal-history me) worry about being hassled or even detained coming into the country, just because. I was already questioned around 10 years ago at the Atlanta airport about what I had been doing in Ecuador. None of your business, dipshit.

So, the US was my home country but, ah, no. Not any more. I'm glad to be where I am now, free of that, all of it. I'll probably never go back, definitely never for anything I can just safely read about at a distance, like a tech conference.
Very gross and speaks to Trumpers actual classist motivations rather than his populist rhetoric.

She was traveling the US, getting free accommodations in exchange for house cleaning? Seemed she was here less than 90 days.

How is this different than 1000s of companies that fly employees over from UK on for a few weeks on 90 day ESTAs ?

"The ESTA allows only passive business activities (like attending meetings or conferences), and engaging in work could lead to visa revocation, deportation, and bans from future U.S. entry."

In practice no company actually complies with this. If you bring an SWE over from London for 2 weeks and they write any code they are in technical violation right..
In the same way a drunk driver isn't deliberately trying to run over pedestrians, I suppose. I think gross negligence is in many ways worse than malice. A malicious actor can at least be somewhat reasoned with.

This does not clarify -- your initial post made a claim about 0^2, which (correctly) does not appear in this list.

Moreover it is trivial that there are no negative powers of 2 that have all even digits, since the trailing digit will always be 5. So the question reduces to whether there are powers of 2 greater than 2048 that have all even digits.

Highly unlikely. For the simple reason that countries such as Russia and Türkiye still have elections.

Not that USA elections have ever been perfectly representative. But expect them to be less so.

Risk is all about perception. I traveled in China, and felt completely safe. In Africa, in one place I see more armed guards, and I feel less safe than in another place where there are very few guards. At the same time I follow german news and not a day goes by where I don't read about some attack, people throwing rocks at trains, busy train stations that have a weapon free zone (which is really weird since you generally can't carry weapons anywhere in public) and I get the feeling that traveling in Germany is less safe than here in Africa.

The US doesn't have the best safety record. But I think it was always like that. I don't think it has gotten worse. Only the border controls feel more worrisome now.
Overconfidence allows you to act, increasing survivability. Thinking is a "weak" trait.
This is because our energy grid is full, American companies have come in to take advantage of our investments in green energy by buying up capacity of newly built offshore windmill parks subsidised by the Dutch and EU governments [0][1], and they're using millions of liters of drinking water to cool their datacenters [2].

Sure, they bring in some money, but is it worth it? We have carbon emission goals to meet as well, but if the projects intended to replace carbon emitting power generators are used for datacenters instead, that won't happen. And using clean drinking water, which is treated, used, and dumped again in surface water, is just a huge waste of our aquifers, especially with climate change. We already saw the water companies reduce pressure and trigger other such water saving measures a few years ago when the stores ran empty, why should a data center take precedence over people? They should pay a premium for this kind of thing.

Yep. I'm a white boy citizen and they've shackled and chained ( and strip searched) me before for funzies, no one gives a shit unless you're a well off European tourist or white lady. People think it's new, happened to me under Bidens administration.
Restricting protest like this may work short term, but long term it's a bad play even for the powers that be. If legitimate avenues of resistance are shut off and made as legally risky as more extreme acts, people will just jump to the more extreme. I'm worried that the US is going into something like the years of lead that's just going to make daily life more dangerous for everyone :(

I Googled it and all of the first handful of links lack the combination of brevity and insight that some of the HN comments have so far.
We know Tesla has the engineers needed to produce quality designs, but it is management that decided to cheap out on both production and quality control, and doesn't make parts easily available for repairs, which is part of the decision and policies Musk is in charge of.

With SpaceX it could go on both sides just because the engineering for spacecraft designs and rockets is not really a solved problem unlike 95% of automobile design, but management could still be the biggest problem with SpaceX. Of course that is going to be hard to see or quantify without being part of SpaceX management.
Apple can afford maintaining the public APIs.
It's especially beneficial for the poorest people in the developed nation. In the 1940 US, the poorest 20% spent almost their entire income on basic needs, such as food and basic clothing. Today, the poorest 20% can still afford smartphones and flat screen TVs, clothes and even vacations. Yes, globalization has massively increased market sizes, making the richest much richer. But it also made the poorest much richer.
That list includes 2^0 = 1, which is odd. It does not include 0^2.
Just as one humorous aside, if you use the text to mesh pipeline, as mentioned the first stage is simply a call to a presumably fine-tuned variant of stable diffusion with your text and the following prompts (translated from Simplified Chinese)-

Positive: "White background, 3D style, best quality"

Negative: "text, closeup, cropped, out of frame, worst quality, low quality, JPEG artifacts, PGLY, duplicate, morbid, mutilated, extra fingers, mutated hands, bad hands, bad face, mutation, deformed, blurry, dehydrated, bad anatomy, bad proportions, extra limbs, cloned face, disfigured, gross proportions, malformed limbs, missing arms, missing legs, extra arms, extra legs, fused fingers, too many fingers, long neck"

Thought that was funny.

This was 100% what Europe believed and the Merkel administration in Germany more than anyone. Not to bring politics into HN intentionally, but I think the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and threats of invading Poland, Finland, and Germany from Russian spokesmen or MPs kind of throws cold water on this theory.

No matter how well meaning you are, you can't expect dictators and "strong men" to ever act in anything but bad faith. It is time the west realizes this and acts accordingly. As an American, I'm sad to see the "de-americaning" happening due to those here who elected a bad administration, but I can't say it is surprising. Ultimately, a less weak and less dependent on the US Europe is a net good for the world. Europe collectively being able to put a check on the US forces the US to not do stupid things, so this is good long term.

Yep, the feds will interpret ANY sort of money, goods, services, or other as a form of compensation.

Same way amateur radio people can't take anything, even a can of soda, for radio operations. Or how private pilots can't get paid to take someone from 1 airport to the next. Or more recently, doing drone photography and selling said pictures.

Does it happen? Sure. But I've seen the feds come down hard on people, including citizens, for even a whiff of 'commercial' anything.

And well, I can't recommend anybody coming into the US, especially a non-native citizen. I wouldn't stay, but I don't have that latitude to move countries.
You've dismissed what I said and then immediately fell victim to it. I don't think you can assume unions create happier workers, nor that happier workers create better products. Unions can also just make comfortable jobsworths. There is no guarantee of anything there.

This is one of those things that's hard to spot from an un-unionised standpoint. You have hard-working, driven workers who sometimes suffer unfairnesses that a union would solve. So unions look good, because your workers are hard-working and driven, and it's all upside.

A decade of unionisation might look very different. For example, the UK in the 1970s briefly moved to a 3 day working week[0] because of coal miner strikes that meant there wasn't enough power in the country. Not all examples are this extreme, partly because we learned from that experience, it's worth thinking of things more objectively, outside of the current context, and analysing the pros and cons of both positions.
