Agree. If anything I'd make it like a cross between FB-early days and twitter. i.e. whatever a post is only immediately view-able by direct contacts. Maybe even top off how many direct contacts an account can have and require payment (

So far I’ve seen attacks that Lula is not a “good” politician. And it is notable that he was prosecuted in the past, found guilty, and acquitted on what some see as a technicality. (I’m paraphrasing and this is clearly controversial. But I’

This is actually contrary to Econ theory and empirical data. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33394486 The trend is towards less immigration and thus lower demand for goods/services and lower supply of labor.

Yesterdays post about interest rates and expected returns seems related from an aggregate and opposite side of the market: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33394486

They really only want links with original titles here regardless though. Just let it crop it.

Felt that more than a little too. I try to remember time didn’t start the day I turned 18, and likewise have at least learned all manner of things out of date or lesser used before my time (os2/warp comes to mind) out of just general i

Which is appropriate since OS 9 immediately preceded it and was indeed the meaning of it. They rebranded it to “macOS” with Big Sur I think, or later. In the early days which I referred to it absolutely was “Mac OS X”.

When we’re talking about widely observed practices across broad swaths of activity (this case hiring practices) then we can, ought, and need to move from assuming incompetence to assuming malice. That saying was always meant to be tied with

Yeah the old windows defrag visualization was cool. Probably inspired some people to dig deeper. Coding in VB 1.0 was cool. I think I made a rapid color changing thing in it. Like a modern stuck pixel exerciser, but probably way too fast to

Costs and risks are so high huge portions of expensive Florida real estate aren’t insurable through private corporations. They simply don’t offer coverage. It’s the USG that picks up the tab and offers insurance.

They have an interesting auction site too. Been shopping goodwill my entire life.

If you want WFH to value-add to your position then it’s on you to make it happen. Where I am, the WFHers have ruined a lot of morale and contributed to around half the team leaving.

They need to seriously reconsider how fast interfaces change. Far too often I go to click on the right word suggested only for it to then change the word right before the click. Seems to happen in many contexts though.

Further, there just isn’t “cheating” in a proof. Being able to do a demonstration yet another way just illuminates the phenomena all the better. You might know something if you know one way to do it. You have a much better understanding if

Not really the point. Point is this could be funded by universities and that’s probably the only way for average any bodies to submit a (good/bad) idea to them directly. The snark is overly done on the internet. To the point of dismiss

People probably just don’t default think of universities. But yes universities have a history of funding stuff exactly like this. And it absolutely fits into their operant model. Maybe the way for us normies to push for this is to donate to

I thought the point was affordability? 1000$ isn't it.

I really hope this means the cameras/monitors instead of mirror wings get allowed asap.

Very well said. And it doesn’t have to be this way. America would take a much different stance if the Chinese system were less “malignant”. Live and let live. Like the Japanese, Australia, UK etc.

I wonder how big an accelerator would need to be to produce such energies?

Yeah the USA seems to have problems when the entire internet seems to head nod at statements of its impending demise. On the internet, birthed and still largely dominated by firms, tech, and research based and US funded. People in past dec

I’m so sorry. I fear this happening in my own country sooner than later. This is an example of censorship being bad because the actual censors won’t be who anyone should want deciding those things. Possibly the better outcome would be for i

I meant before society would hit significant pain points. Trains and trucks are logistics. Planes do a little, too, but how much of what planes do actually qualities as critical?

So outlaw planes? Ok not literally but I do wonder how scaled back they could be before affecting day to day.

Sure if that somehow improves the drought conditions in the US southwest. (And it might considering the rain the southwest experienced this year.) Seems odd to prioritize hurricanes that don’t really seem to affect the South that much while

Those cosmic rays are an absolute gold mine of particle physics potential. Some of them easily exceed any accelerator we could build without going solar system scale. Edit-the best I can think is have every satellite built with a particle d

So we know of two meteors that hit earth from outside the solar system. (One was IDed by the US DOD as traveling well in excess of the solar escape velocity.) They’re what Avi Loeb is bootstrapping a search for now. If those can be recovere

I wish there were like a “we get it. You won at scarce resource creation/allocation. Here’s your $Buckillion award and you never have to worry about bills again.” Maybe we give them a national audience ala a state of the union address
