Even if the findings challenge what evolution is (which doesn’t seem to be the case — the course of human evolution is only one of millions of species over the years), the wording “challenges evolution” suggests that the findings cast the theory of evolution itself into doubt, which they clearly do not.

As far as a way to save character count to include a more accurate title, eliminating the “300,000-year-old” part seems like it would work.

Show HN: Extension that shows the real nightly price of Airbnb stays AFTER fees
Ever get sick of Airbnb showing you the price per night of a listing and NOT including the taxes and fees in that nightly price? It's misleading, right? This extension fixes that, and it will hopefully protect you from being fooled into paying more per night of your Airbnb stay than you had originally planned. It will show you the all-in price per night of any Airbnb listing.

Here's how it looks: https://i.imgur.com/HSrlnLP.gif

It is, but I understand that not very many people live on Wall Street.

Visual Transistor-level Simulation of the 6502 CPU and other chips
They did not categorically make all old iPhones slower. If the iPhone reported healthy battery statistics it clearly wasn't affected. This is demonstrated by the scores of people who replaced their battery and saw the performance increase.

If the change had simply made all iPhones 6 and 6S throttle down CPU 20% then replacing the battery wouldn't 'fix' anything. That would certainly be planned obsolescence.
> A chemically aged battery also becomes less capable of delivering peak energy loads, especially in a low state of charge, which may result in a device unexpectedly shutting itself down in some situations.

I think the people in the Silicon Valley need to take a step back and understand that people in the rest of the world don't change phone every year. If a phone become unusable because of its battery (according to them) during the expected lifetime of the device then batteries need to be easily replacable.
This is not a complete truth. Yes, many of them are scam, especially the big, fat, ugly things the adblocks are invented to block.

However, the need for a list of contractors for works is also required, but things like yellow pages is sort of dead, and if you offer services - eg. you're a freelance photographer, designer, etc. - you need to make yourself visible somehow.
> That being said, most people are peaceful. Crime-wise, they are slightly willing to do bad things (like stealing quietly from the market). Those ready to kill or cause great damage, are not normal people and are not most people.

That's a very lofty assertion. Most people assign a very very very high value to "avoid getting caught". Over time we have developed a system to increase probability of getting caught for any crime. Should the system fall apart, the crime spikes
> why do console manufacturers put so much effort into preventing unvetted code from running on their hardware?

Because they want to prevent a repeat of the circumstances that led to the great video game crash of 1983 (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_crash_of_1983).

The first generation of home consoles didn’t have any restrictions on what they could run. The result was a flood of shoddy, low-quality games, which ruined the reputation of those consoles and nearly killed the entire market for home gaming.
Half the comments are yours and aren’t counter arguments at all.

And all the downvotes just tell me people aren’t confident enough in their counter arguements to let them stand against a comment that isn’t intentionally de-emphasized.

And the fact you think I’d change my mind over downvotes, even in part, tells me something about you.
I don't buy the added development cost argument. Firstly because AAA dev kits already have out of the box support for the Switch, secondly because sony and xbone put just as much effort into preventing unsigned code execution as nintendo does.

Then is it just about protecting the emulation market? For nintendo I'd agree. For sony I'd say maybe. For microsoft? They don't really have an emulation market to speak of, but they still dump a lot of resources into DRM.

So is it all about the perceived threat of piracy, or is there more?

But to my earlier point, piracy stops being a factor a decade or two after the release of a console. Why don't we put time limits on DRM like we do with copyright and patents so that the manufacturers are forced to allow full use of the devices eventually.

There’s quite a bit in a google the 28 hour cycle specifically. A friend of mine did this for six months and was quite happy, except he missed his wife and child who I didn’t join him, so didn’t extend his experiment. I don’t remember why he chose 28 hours but iirc it was what he felt was his natural cycle. I don’t know if he reads HN but I just pinged him.
I work on a team in which a few people adopted the strategy of doing 20% of the work for 80% of the impact. That leaves the rest of us doing the remaining 80%. If the people doing most of the work are not getting the credit for it, how is it going to play out in the long run?
Also, seems a bit silly to be dismissive just because you aren't acutely aware of changes in your body.

In Netherlands various cinemas have their own unlimited scheme. It's usually 19-20 EUR while still needing to pay extra for 3D/IMAX. One (Pathe) charges 28 EUR to avoid the surcharges.

The price point of MoviePass is interesting and 24 USD (~20 EUR) is obviously much more than the 10 USD quoted here. Still, buying only at the theater is annoying. I prefer making a seat reservation and arriving max 5 minutes before the movie starts (there are loads of advertisements anyway).

Downsize of the Dutch unlimited options: you still have to arrive at least 30 minutes early and this gets annoying really fast (30 minutes minimum early is 35-40 in practice plus the 10-15 minutes of watching advertisements you've seen before)... quickly turns into loads of wasted time. I tried when they had a special (4 months for 40 EUR, so 10 EUR/month).

It's more about "protecting" it from unlicensed publishers in general, irrespective of whether they're producing unauthorized copies. Indeed, recent schemes have made it markedly easier to copy games without authorization than to publish original games without authorization. The former only requires subverting a protocol used to decide whether a copy is authorized (e.g. by altering optical drive firmware or outright replacing the drive with an emulator); the latter requires breaking the platform's crypto services.

Ok now I understand why we need such a thing, thank you very much. My knowledge does not go beyond good old Hatree-Fock on that matter. I thought this is a legitimate question because in theory this device is not build to discover any new physics which I would expect from such a facility.

Edit: Followup question, is it possible to build a ProteinFoldingCoin? Can the problems of theoretical chemistry formulated in a way that is hard to calculate and easy to verify, hence replacing the useless sha256 calculations in Bitcoin with something that makes sense?
> rather the devices became prematurely useless

Then you have to buy a next-gen device and re-buy your games. Good for the manufacturer.

I'd love to see this happening but can't see it happening without political action directed against premature obsolescence for environmental reasons.
Same here, I feel like I'm just not ready to manage the entire thing, raise money, etc. I've got the tech pretty much worked out, but that's the easy part - the hard part is actually make it scale, deal with customers, money, investors, legal/regulatory issues, etc.
I've been a nomad for almost 2 years now changing countries often (about 10 different ones) while working remotely for various companies with a dependent spouse and practically no savings.

It's stressful because changing countries always turns out to be a lot more expensive than it seems, also changing companies as well is difficult; it's mostly contracting so sometimes they don't pay on time. Remote work is also draining because the boundary between your work and personal life is blurred.

Also, one time I had to leave a hotel without checking out because I knew that I couldn't afford the bill on a Sunday because my international payment was delayed and due to arrive during business hours on Monday; I had to check out over the phone the next day. The worst part was that in the process the client I was working for probably figured out that I was broke.

You need a really high income in order to do it and ideally if you have partner they should be able to find remote work as well (it's not always possible depending on the profession).

After 1 year, it's really not fun at all but I guess it builds your character; it pushes you to the edge of your abilities and gives you confidence that you can survive anything in any environment. Initially I did it because I wanted to travel but eventually it just became an effective career-optimization strategy. If you're willing to relocate absolutely anywhere, a lot of opportunities open up to you and you become better at identifying good ones.

Speaking as the spouse of an urban small-business owner (retail), I think the availability of lending is a mixed blessing. Every new small business needs to learn a few things about what works and what doesn't, before it will be successful (even when, perhaps especially when, they don't think they do). Getting a business loan at the very beginning of the business' life, means you spend all the money when you know the least. Starting lean with just money raised from family and friends means you have to iterate to bootstrap up, and this results in getting some learning before you get the money. Nobody thinks they need to, but I have (in a city) seen more small businesses sunk by their business loans than helped.

This fails to explain a lot of things, such as why there was no "industrial revolution" in China, for example, which was technologically far more advanced than Europe up until the 17th century.

Anyway, the answer is not so complicated: capitalist production is not a question of markets or wealth, but of a set of social relations between owners of capital and each other, and owners of capital and laborers, where laborers depend upon owners of capital for their subsistence, and where capitalists are set in a situation of compelled competition, where they must extract constantly increasing productivity from their laborers in order to maintain their status. That is, the conditions for the emergence of the industrial revolution come about when participation in a competitive market is, on the whole, compulsory rather than optional, and where competition between capitalists is compulsory, such that the livelihoods of both capitalists and laborers is contingent upon technological improvements in productivity. This turns into a self-reinforcing cycle, and before you know it we have airplanes, iphones, empires of working poor, and global warming.

Throughout most of history, participation in market society was generally an optional thing. The small landholding peasant brought goods to market when they could but they did not depend on markets to live. Now we require markets to live. At some point in England in the early modern period, this cycle of market dependence and competition emerged, grew out of control, and spread out conquering the world.

Re: Development cost. I think we probably just have different perceptions on what that cost will be. I'm happy to disagree with you here, but I think we'll talk around the lack of any facts here. (Read: I have nothing I can present to concretely prove my point or disprove yours so I'm abandoning that line and will take your point as given as much as I feel mine (should be?) is :D)

I would however still argue that its the perception of piracy and those costs rather than any reality of it.

In regards to the idea of time-limited DRM. The argument here is what does that ultimately give Nintendo? The device is EOL and from their point of view the goodwill of the small community of us who like poking around the devices isn't worth even the relatively small amounts of effort to implement that model of DRM. Especially when Homebrew development happens within a console lifetime to begin with.

Essentially, the work hours for homebrew is bought and paid for by these folk here. Nintendo has to do nothing and they get that Homebrew warm-fuzzies from a small group of folks.

However the perceptual loss of faith from someone like EA would cause a huge and immediate impact to the life-cycle of in the In-life console. (Think of the Polygon,IGN and other articles that would come out if EA so much as sniffed at the idea of the Switch being to much of a piracy-risk)

So no, I don't think there is more to it than a perception. Which sadly I think is overweighted in the argument. But already in this post, there are some weird equivalencies between user features and OS security being made which has a lot of value for people (not saying they're wrong in their valuations, just maybe the placement) so perception counts an awful lot for a lot of folks.

But they don't always release a next gen device. And a lot of people who own a <brand> device will automatically buy next gen <brand> when it comes out. And then only a comparatively small fraction of games is typically re-sold without modification.

You think the return on the tiny percentage intersection of those conditions justifices the cost to society in terms of wasted materials and labour to do that? Does it even justify the manufacturer's development costs to create that lockout in the first place..?
And I'm arguing the problem isn't that complex.

The problem is 99% solved if you assume that a "visible" form must be completely within the current view, at 100% opacity and unobscured by other elements. Apply the same heuristics used by bots to avoid honeypots and fake forms.
I hope it's in the final release of the video.
Can this even happen again? Look at PCs. The cost to produce a very low quality game has never been cheaper, and the infrastructure to spread it has never been better. But there isn't really a problem. We now have marketplaces that have some level of curation in them that prevents this from being a major problem. It isn't a perfect system, but there is no threat of it crashing the video game industry.

Social expectations of games, knowledge about games, information sharing about games, and platforms that allow this knowledge to propagate have made it so I can't see this as being any threat at all.

Add in that we are talking homebrew, so its not like the content will have Nintendo's stamp of approval on it nor accessible to the average user, and the line of reasoning seems completely invalid.

Though it wouldn't be the first time a company did something for reasons that were no longer valid.
It's not a terribly large amount of code, and it's easy to test, even with a "live" key (since testing that any n of m can be recombined doesn't force a spend or reveal anything externally).

Also, it's a fairly well-known system, so I don't see it being collectively "forgotten" on the timescale of a few decades (it's been around since the late 70's i believe).

> They may have significant mental health issues that do not warrant involuntary hospitalisation, but cause them to be extremely disruptive or unwilling to be housed. They may have unmanaged substance abuse problems, particularly alcohol dependency.

When you make housing for the homeless dependent on being sober and clean, just what, exactly, do you expect as an outcome if not that?

THIS moralizing "Oh, but you've got to DESERVE the help!" is partly why homelessness (and poverty) are still major problems in the US.

(Oh, and the truly pathetic NIMBYism in San Fran doesn't help anything... It makes solving the housing problem in general intractible. Seriously, shut up about the "character of the city" when you're really just using that as an excuse to increase your home value and when that "character" leads to a whole bunch of homelessness and rent that is impossible for people seeking jobs to afford.)
You seem to be moralizing about how an economic game was played to maximize pretend profits. Do you have the same complaints about how winning at Monopoly "adversely affects" the losing players' experience?

The Marvels of Monads (C#, 2008)
Balance is key, and difficult, and will always tend to fall out of balance under external influences. All too often though I feel that the problem is framed as "too hard" you know? It is not too hard, if more people were on board and made it a priority. Sadly history seems to indicate that it will take a lot for that to happen, if it does. Without popular support and voter oversight, government becomes toxic, but without government support and oversight, things fall apart.
I've yet to meet a person in SF who wants these policies towards the homeless.

Compassion is reducing the friction to life, somehow creating $500/month apartments with no credit checks and month to month.

Compassion isn't letting the homeless do anything, camp and violate other's rights, disrupt and distress the working lower to middle class, and reducing the penalties for petty crime while increasing the fines for minor infractions by taxpayers.
This is a much more reasonable idea once you're on Mars, and current research offers some hope that it would actually work. More worrying though is the trip to Mars, which would have a much higher exposure and require some really novel shielding. The best way for that to happen, short of a breakthrough in materials science, is to build the shield outside of our well, with materials we didn't have to lift.

This is in large part why I think that Mars is continent upon offworld mining and construction industry, rather than the other way around.

The Dark Ages were named such, in retrospect, because of the loss of knowledge and recording of history of that period. Western Europe suffered from a split or break in government (the Eastern Empire was significantly more wealthy), a collapse of civil authority (Germanic tribal migration into Western Empire territory forced by Hunnic invasions to the east, withdrawal of Roman authority and eventual military collapse), and looting and destruction of knowledge centers. Thank the Irish monks for preserving Western Civilization until the Carolingian Renaissance.

We're at risk for creating a new dark age (mid-to-late 20th century onward) though the use of excessive encryption, proprietary file formats, abandoned digital storage media. and abuse of copyright.
