What's the reason it is so shockingly expensive?

That's what good lights go for, they're niche and people pay good money for them. I really liked my office lamps and I wanted to get the same for home, after a quick search I discovered they were 1300+ euros

1000+ is the "designer" lighting territory. Margins are enormous margins, but to charge those you need to be an established designer and have a reputation.

There was one cosmonaut who died shortly after emergency return to the Earth. I think it was in the 90s, but maybe eariler.

Yup, same here.

The whole MO of ICE is that of intimidation. That's really their raison de être in the agency's current format.

They are effectively a paramilitary enforcing the agenda. Parallels with the 1930s Germany are really explicitly uncanny.


Before you reach for your wallets, remember -

It might be 50 days by an (admittedly very cool) bus, but it's only 84 days in foot!

It appears to cover only the year 2012.

This is very cool.

Some years ago I was on a small (12-passenger) boat doing an 11-day photography tour in the Svalbard archipelago. One evening, we were at 82' north latitude and I was on the bridge talking to the captain. He said, "we might be the northernmost people on the planet, aside from naval subs" - looking at this map, it's possible he was right.


sort of a floatradar24

OSINT tooling to figure the shadowfleet?

It was made in 2016, I think. The company that made it also made Flourish, which you can use to pretty much recreate it if you have the data: https://flourish.studio/blog/animated-point-map/

Yeah my first thought was to view what changed, if anything, during peak COVID or the later issues.

This is still wonderful.


I was thinking the same.

Neural nets were taught in my Uni in the late 90s. They were presented as the AI technique, which was however computationally infeasible at the time. Moreover, it was clearly stated that all supporting ideas were developed and researched 20 years prior, and the field was basically stagnated due to hardware not being there.

I remember reading "neural network" articles back from late 80's, early 90's, which weren't just about ANNs, but also other connectionist approaches like Kohonen's Self-Organizing Maps and Stephen Grossberg's Adaptive Resonance Theory (ART) ... I don't know how your university taught it, but back then this seemed more futuristic brain-related stuff, not a practical "AI" technique.

Doesn't the president require a Congress approval for this sort of military action?

Doesn't matter because who's going to check them? SCOTUS? No. COTUS? No.

Unitary executive theory = plenary powers, e.g., they're a king in all but name surrounded by political loyalists with their hands on every lever of power that matters.


I think the president only needs permission from Congress to officially declare war (or rather only Congress can declare war), but the president is commander in chief of the US military and can do, for lack of a better term, “special military operations” without any approval (all joking aside, I think it means the president can always order military action just can’t declare war against another country, and I don’t believe the US has declared war on Venezuela).

No. War Powers Resolution of 1973.

Which has been a terrible law in need of repeal since the moment it was enacted.

> he was a young Nazi back in the day

He remained a Nazi member well into the 1950s, which I find truly bizzare.


I didn't know that, talk about being late to the party.

On a tangent I also found this recently about Le Corbusier:

---

Research from the last decade, primarily from a series of books published in 2015 and released correspondence, has confirmed that the influential modernist architect Le Corbusier was a fascist and antisemite with ties to the Nazi-collaborationist Vichy regime in France.

--

He wanted to build this in Stockholm in 1933:

... from some random blog. Happy users are great, but your post title is misleading and, basically, a click-bait.


Ok, I edited the title! Though the hostname already makes it clear that it's from a blog.

I don't know what more prestigious annual Japanese learning tools awards you might be confusing this with?

I did also get a recommendation from Tofugu / WaniKani's Japanese learning resources blog which was pretty popular at the time, but they've stopped that series. It would be great to see other annual Japanese tool awards. I’m not aware of any.


It's great that you've won this award, congrats! But this isn't the way to share it with HN.

For a Show HN post, please follow these guidelines and also consider applying the tips: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638.

If you're sharing a 3rd-party post like this, then you need to use the article's original title, rather than editorializing it to draw attention to your own project.

The right way to share news about winning an award like this would be to write your own blog post, giving the audience some narrative about your journey from conceiving the project to winning the award. That could be a great post.

It's up to you how you communicate your work and achievements to the world, of course, but anything submitted to HN needs to adhere to the guidelines.

Ok got it

Will try again


I doubt any major publications are choosing the year's best Japanese learning tool for iOS.
