I think there are lots of options.

1. Board game venues. They're becoming more popular, and yes, they exist in the US. I would be surprised if there wasn't one in any major US city.

2. Escape rooms. I think there are at least 50 in my city. They're literally everywhere if I search on Google Maps.

3. Cafes. If you're looking for something low key, you should be able to find some cafes with some hot wine, snacks, and couches for relaxing with friends.

4. Pubs. You can search for one with pool or darts if you feel like doing an activity while having casual drinks.

5. Meetups/Couchsurfing events. If you want to get together with a few dozen random people, there are usually events on both of these sites.

6. Rooftop or outdoor movie venues. They're a nice change from the usual movie theater if you want something a bit different.

7. VR experiences. These are starting to pop up as well. They have a bunch of rooms with headsets, and TVs showing what the person with the headset is seeing. So, you rent a room with friends, one person is playing, others are watching on the TV. Or, there are VR experiences where everyone puts on a headset, and you run around a VR warehouse playing together.

8. Lots of random activities that have existed for ages, like bowling, ice skating, go-karting, etc.

9. If you want very low key just go to a big book store, get a coffee, and read some books.

In short, I don't think the "young adult nightlife experience" is stagnant, and I think it's probably more interesting than ever before, with lots of alternatives to clubs or loud pubs.
You're aware that China's economy is propped up in large part by their government and is enabling speculative investments far and away above what happened between 2000 and 2007, right? Not exactly where I'd want to tie my economic hopes.

I think it's pretty clear in this case. Plenty of people here in hn-land were talking about Intel/AMD short/long positions starting in the afternoon yesterday and word has gotten around.
Or someone can make another audio-controlled device that doesn't sell ads and that can be a separate company. I don't see why you would immediately go towards having the government step in and regulate whether Amazon can make the Echo prefer their own products quite yet. It's still a new device and there are some other competitors.

I could agree that companies be required to have a disclaimer when they provide preference to a certain product set over another.
Yes he didn't delivered every single item he ever talked about, but even if he won't achieve anything anymore, he gave whole mankind more than most other SV 'disrupting' founders doing just another crappy social app together.

At this point, it's pretty clear that mankind will either reach the stars ASAP, or mankind will face slow or fast decline and death on this little blue planet (albeit life will go on, just without us). He is tackling this on many fronts, where others didn't dare to risk their wealth or considered it too hard/impossible.

It feels like you have some personal issue with him (or good ol' trolling), and that's your problem. Most of us see him very positively, and for damn good reasons. Failing in some moonshots is natural, i'm sure any person with enough life experience can understand this.
In German, words like "engineer" are gendered and may be misunderstood to mean that only men are sought. So it's very common in job advertisements to put something like this to signal that males and females (and, implicitly, any other gender or non-gender) are invited to apply.

Everything I've read says that especially post 80's health care inflation in the US is somewhere in the middle of the pack of OECD countries.

That should give everyone on a high horse convinced that they have a solution in their pocket a real cause for concern. It doesn't of course. But it should.
From the article:

The naturalness or artificiality of unique properties in a database is relative to the outside world. A key which was artificial at birth in some standards body or government agency becomes natural to us because it’s generally agreed upon in the world at large, and/or imprinted on objects.
Maybe his neighbor would? If the culture of self reliance is so important, shouldn't people who take handouts from others be shamed and vilified? Sure seems like that's the Republican party line.

Whereas if healthcare was properly regulated, his neighbor could pay for it himself and actually be independent in his community.

I'd rather be independent among my peers and neighbors even if I have to rely on a supra entity to regulate my food quality and organize my warfighting than the other way around. We're all dependent at some level even if just to the past, no matter what "Atlas Shrugged" says.
It's called the Just World Hypothesis and has indeed been studied for decades.

Well, the thing is a real pain in the ass to get rid off.

I bought an OLED to my parents as a present, thinking, ohh removing the old trinitron screen is easy. It required like 4 different people, and creating a set of wheeled machines. It takes so much 3d space(specially deepness) as well as weight.

Had I known about that, I would never have bought the OLED in the first place.

Thats a great meta-analysis referenced there (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4951141/), but the table of studies only contains baseline measures (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4951141/bin/pme...) - I can't find the original non-aggregate data on the after-effect (benchmark) measurements of each of the analysed studies.

One thing it seems to assume is that effects of carbohydrate reduction are linear, which might not be the case. The study analysed the effect of "replacing 5% energy from carbohydrate with SFA" and found it had no significant effect on fasting glucose - this might be true even if ketosis works perfectly, since on average the trials listed there are medium-to-high carb. It would be very useful if they also had listed a table with the individual study outcome data.

Another thing that seems weird is that they deem an increase in insulin secretion capacity as good. Increasing insulin secretion capacity and insulin sensitivity will lower blood glucose, but at the expense of increased obesity - the blood sugar is going somewhere and its either the muscles or fat. So it seems to me that in T2D the increase of secretion capacity only postpones the problem. Ideally what you want is the (fasting) insulin levels to drop while maintaining the same or somewhat lower blood glucose.
A comparison is challenging in that in our experience there are many different use cases. It all depends on which geographies you are interested in, and what level of accuracy, speed, data freedom, and cost you are willing to accept. I mean of course we can do query X on different services and say service A returns answer 1, service B returns answer 2, etc. But that's only useful if your queries look like X, and very often they don't. So it's difficult to say "service A is better". Much more relevant is which is better for your specific needs (and budget).

The only guaranteed way to know if a service will meet your needs is to test, hence why we offer 2,500 free queries per day for as long as you like.

Happy geocoding!
Major chip design errors, of this magnitude, are exceedingly rare. Especially in comparison to the software industry where bugs are released to production a couple orders of magnitude more frequently. How many other Intel hardware bugs can you point to that are comparable to the ones below?

"All computers with Intel chips from the past 10 years appear to be affected... The security updates may slow down older machinery by as much as 30 percent, according to the report."

"discovered a problem with how early versions of Intel’s Pentium chip calculated numbers... Intel had to recall some chips and took a charge of more than $400 million."
Postmodernism has been en vogue in the USA since the late 1950's. You only need to look to American literature since then and you'll notice much of what is considered the "most important" fiction is Postmodern. Which means it is cynical, ironic and skeptical of all the things you associate with the French.

This is not a fringe philosophical concept bound to popular novel's either. Look to the background of villains in mainstream super hero movies, to our politics (many call Trump the first Postmodern president), and the drive to be "authentic" in every aspect of the self for reasons of self promotion in some kind recursive cynical loop which other view as a perfect specimen of our contemporary irony, nearly perfected!

I'm not an expert on French culture or any culture per-se, but perhaps Americans (of which I'm one) do have a more superficial embrace of sentimentalism and a less critical approach to hero worship and "getting rich" and maybe it isn't driven by cynicism as much as naiveté but that's only one aspect of the culture as a whole. Even still, I'd argue most people are driven by the Postmodern philosophy wether they know it or not; are more cynical then they even know and skeptical of our institutions (universities, churches, etc) on one side or another.
I imagine something similar to an Echo could be thrown together on a raspberry pi or something similar.
I think it’s more accurate to say we Americans expect/demand self-reliance than it is to say we are more appreciative of it. It doesn’t quite make sense to say we appreciate it—that’d imply we do not expect it, but notice and value it when it is present. Quite the contrary—our culture leaves very little room for appreciating, valuing, revering, looking up to, or attributing positive social accolades to anything but self-reliance.

The general rule in America is that the individual gets all the credit for the great things they do, and doesn’t have to share it with any social inputs/factors—and the individual gets all the blame when society deems them worthless, and society doesn’t have to share any of that blame.
An extrajurisdictional company operates outside of existing jurisdictions. It might be helpful to think of us as being headquartered in space...if our opsec is correct, we might as well be! (Otherwise I'll be arrested and our contingency procedures will kick in to work with the successor.)

It is not for tax evasion: we fully intend to comply with tax law everywhere we offer service, though there are some practical issues. We chose EJC vehicle due to worldwide laws on sex work and unregulated securities. For example: In the U.S. mere advertising sites run the risk of legal persecution. How much more so for a full escorting platform?
So... How is this exactly a silver lining? Avoiding fixed costs is a means to an end, not an end in and of itself. And that end (actually saving money/increasing efficiency) just receded further away. And hey, nobody actually knows exactly what is overhead, and what is valuable; if we all agreed on that, it would be much easier to cut. So this is likely to cut valuable stuff that's just not as immediately obviously valuable.

For a hacker-news friendly analogy: the risks this causes for the unis is akin to short-term financial peril in a tech firm: so what gets cut isn't what's ultimately likely to be least valuable, but what's most risky: bye, bye moonshots and general innovation.

It could be, though it was falling for a couple decades before the media attention started driving the widespread belief that it was increasing, and the behavior changed that resulted from that belief.
> I know that bugs happen

This isn’t an excuse for Intel consistently having terrible verification practices and shipping horrendous hardware bugs. From 2015: https://danluu.com/cpu-bugs/ There have been more since then.

I’ve talked to multiple people who work in intel’s testing division and think “verification” means “unit tests”. The complexity of their CPUs has far surpassed what they know how to manage.
That is something now, hard to beat that.
America is a wholly different place. I was born in the mid-80s in Moscow, Russia, and moved to America when I was ten. Before I moved, I was regularly taking the subway, with transfers, to school - by myself.

Here in America, I had a coworker a few years ago who literally would not let his double-digit-aged children cross the street to school by themselves.

It's a weird fuckin' place.
It's mostly the older generation. Younger people seem to be more accepting of everyone. Even the ones that call themselves conservative, when you talk to them, there more Romney, Bush conservatives than Mike Pence conservatives and definitely not Trump faux populists.
But they have those damned horizontal tungsten wires going across the screen. Once seen cannot be unseen.
Sadly we were where I worked :(
I crave a bit more of freedom of travelling and I will try and focus on some personal projects. At least for a while and if I see it's not working I'll go back to a "proper" job.

I haven't found many challenges other than taxes and stuff like that. Many countries I find are not ready to welcome people that move around a lot.

As for the job itself I keep a pretty strict regime on myself so I still try to do all office hours and keep in touch as much as I can. It is true tho that you do get "cut out" a bit and it's probably not the best for people that want to climb the ladder. For me it really helped the fact that I worked for a full year in the office with the same people so I knew them pretty well.
If privacy is important to you, I can recommend kolabnow.com as an email/calendar provider. It is a bit more clunky than the slickness of GMail/GCalendar, but their software stack is all open source (they're behind the Kolab groupware package), and they take privacy very seriously. Their servers are hosted in Switzerland, which has some of the strongest legal protections in the world, in regards to privacy.

Less than $15/month for full-featured IMAP email and groupware for an individual. Is it super cheap? No. But you can't argue with their privacy track record.

(I'm not affiliated, in fact I migrated from them to a different provider that also does web hosting. But I was very satisfied while I was a customer)

Glassdoor is heavily skewed to new graduates and the salaries are rarely updated after promotions.
Also see above about high consequences. Any over 21 with a brain wouldn't do it, because that's another of those ways to fuck your life up that boomers and Xers could afford to do, but millennials really can't.
I will continue not to dress like a slob in vendor T-shirts and, eat in places other than Olive Garden or neighborhood chicken wings and pizza place and not live in a dump.

Downvoting this is not going to change that your unwillingness to dress well, socialize with not tech geeks and project your desirability is what significantly limits your opportunities in attracting partners that you think you deserve.

Agreed. My parents I guess just did not have time? I have no idea, I was just always home in front of a computer. Thankfully I was actually learning code, and stuff. I was a console gamer, not a PC gamer. My PC was cheap, and could not hang lol
Well if your justification for that is because people might die, I'm afraid you'll find that the government is more than happy to sponsor and employ people for projects with rather high fatality rates.

It's possible to pay everyone equally - especially when you just pay everyone less.

If you disclose what everyone earns at every level, it's easy to then let all your employees pull everyone hold themselves accountable to the same level.

A bit like crabs in a bucket...
i'm not really sure that follows. i'm 35, and grew up in the 80s and 90s. i also wasn't 'allowed' to do a lot of things, but did them anyway along with my friends, and endured the consequences, simply because there was nothing else to do at home.

the internet didn't make a real impact on most teens until at least 1998 or 1999. i think today teens just have the option of hanging out virtually so they never push the boundaries.
The dedicated äöü keys were added in some update a few years ago (there is no ß key). At that time you could only get German autocorrect with that keyboard (I think) so I got used to it. At some later point they added autocorrect for all other installed languages to that keyboard so I now use it exclusively (due to the extra keys they differ in width between keyboards which is confusing when switching).
there's other real world usage (DAWs, for example, where there is a ton of I/O for sample-based virtual instruments) which will likely be as significantly impacted as virtualization likely...
Hey, thanks for trying the app out!

The reason the link you provided isn't working is because there aren't English automated or manual captions for the video. https://imgur.com/a/aNNvS I'll try and clarify this in the about section as soon as I can.

I recommend trying it out with some of your favorite TED talks that have manual or automated captions in English. With some of the ones I've tried, with the default length reduction setting, I usually get a <= 5-minute output from a ~ 20-minute video.

> Tell me why out of state students will pay significantly higher tuition when they can get a cheaper education in their State College?

Because states are different? Wouldn't you say OK, NY, CA are different states with different universities, budgets, students, cultures etc. Why is it surprising that a student from Mississippi might want to go to UC Berkeley?

> And are you saying that the State University wouldn't prefer Americans in their undergraduate programs? University administrators are Americans, and probably prefer Americans over others

Well yeah international students also incur an additional administrative cost to manage. Having lots of them also means needing to hire more staff in international students services department.

> It seems like international students are the only ones willing to pay higher out of state.

It seems not. Why is it crazy to think someone might want to go to school in a different state, and you're convinced only international students would do it? If people half way across the world want to fly out and study here paying double the tuition, why wouldn't people from other US states?

> The kernel of interest in research is laid during undergraduate study.

Not sure what you mean by "kernel of interest". OP was talking about undergraduate research as one of the top reasons US is losing out to other countries and so on. The point is there is minimal undergraduate research compared to graduate. Especially at the state colleges they are talking about. Kentucky State or Oklahoma State undergrads are not driving US research forward.

> But the hope is that the brightest and hard working will stay.

Whose hope? Not being sarcastic here just wondering. Do you think it is the US government's hope, universities or students? Maybe a combination of those? At the end of the day it is not a permanent residence track. It's H1B visas, marriages and other tracks which lead to permanent residence. Getting an F-1 and J-1 won't. Quite the opposite J-1 visas used to explicitly require students return and spend some time in their home countries with the "hope" of sharing the experience.

> You say this as if these wealthy students have no merit.

I say this because the OP implied it is pure merit. Though I think they mostly muddied the waters confusing graduate and undergraduate programs. And I didn't imply it was bad, was just wondering if that's something we want, as you said maybe we do.

> You have to have merit and wealth.

Besides passing TOEFL and showing up with a full tuition check what are the merit requirements is needed. You'd probably say high school grades, but I remember just handing them a hand written note from my high school principal which I translated myself and he signed. They didn't need SAT or ACT scores even. Maybe they do now, I didn't check.
It's even worse with drivers for hardware, like with Razer devices. I still use a Microsoft Habu mouse and a Reclusa keyboard, they are the result of a cooperation between Microsoft and Razer with Razer supplying the drivers and software. At this point they are ancient but they still work very well for me.

Recently I got a Razer Orbweaver, heavily discounted, and installing the drivers for that required me to create an account with Razer and install "Razer Synapse". I went along with it thinking that it would at least give me one package to keep drivers and options for all three of my Razer devices in one place. But it doesn't, Synapse only recognizes the Orbweaver, the other two Razer peripherals still need their own dedicated driver and software packages installed.

Synapse phones home all the time when booting up it tells me how it's connecting to the "Synapse cloud". Sounds really fancy and all but what use is that if it can't even get drivers for other Razer devices from the "cloud"?

This feels like getting all the disadvantages but none of the advantages.
Over a long time? Maybe. But it won't happen overnight. In most cultures that taboo is cemented. Ask any random person who think it's taboo why it's taboo and I would wager they don't really know why, just that it is. As such, I don't think this is going to change minds, at least not for a while.

Thank you for the great response. Much appreciated.

Their belief is not inconsistent because of the role innocence plays. Now you may disregard the importance of innocence here, but that doesn't make their views inconsistent

Well, what about a significant number of people executed, which were completely innocent? There are some absolutely galling stories out there about innocents being executed despite the fact that there were huge doubts on their guilt or on the verdict as such due to the conduct of the proscutor (withholding evidence, using known liars as witnesses, relying on more than dodgy "scientific" evidence, recanting of witnesses who had a personal motive to snitch in the first place, etc).

In that view the possibility of one innocent person being killed should automatically illegitimze capitol punishment. Apparently it does not.

While I can understand the stance of the catholic church I still think that logically you cannot oppose abortion, while supporting the death penalty.

You made me understand, however, that this inconsistency is not applicable to a lot of those people. It doesn't make it logically less inconsistent in my view.

Anyway, thanks for the insight. It's at the very least, very interesting.
