Having a medical condition that requires long term medication maintenance - every single doctor I've had is very well aware of what is a generic and what is not - and tends to prescribe a generic, as they are often an ER version of the regular med, or a compounded version of two medications that can be taken separately.
Wholeheartedly agree. Maybe it is just nostalgy, but there was something special in these communities that Facebook Groups and Subreddits just don't have it.

I was part (in pt-BR): "I thought it was ice cream but it was beans" and "I like coke without gas".

It is something about signaling your identity online that is less pretentious, it takes itself less seriously than what you see today on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter.

It also wasn't as vicious as the informal forums like 4Chan and some subreddits. These take themselves very seriously in conforming to the "let's not take ourselves too seriously" culture.

It is hard to determine if it was the product or the current overall internet culture at the time that was responsible for this more healthy (IMO) environment.

But having Orkut in my college years certainly made be a happier person.
True, it's a union of all these different fields coming together, might not be the best AI toy out there, but it's definitely something we can buy for a reasonable price. Imagine the kids growing up with such toys, they know how machines learn, it becomes part of their growing up process..
Cryptonomics: Understanding the Vertifier’s Dilemma in Crypto-Assets
As much as the grandparent's behavior might be selfish, there's no such thing as "not meant to exist". If the car crash happened right after the birth, would it be more "meant to exist"? By whom, the now-dead parents? Why does it matter?

Actually, to the contrary, the parents originally meant this life to exist. Somebody then explicitly still meant this life to exist even despite of the difficulties of the original parents being dead.

To be technical, I quoted two parts of the same document. ;)

I agree that it can be hard. However, it is not impossible.

My comment was to point out that there are limits to the statement "a company can fire all of its union labor and replace them with overseas workers if they so chose". In some cases this is illegal, and the company may face penalties.

I don't know much about labor law. I know more about civil rights law, and it seems the two are structured similarly.

Under Title VII, retaliatory behavior is not permitted, and a suspiciously close timing like this is one of the factors which support a claim that there was retaliatory behavior.

Mass firing of everyone who tried to unionize is another.

I agree that it's possible for a company to fire a unionized staff en mass and outsource the work. Based on the description in this essay there seems more than enough evidence of possible illegal behavior to justify discovery, and management doesn't seem subtle enough to carry it off properly.

No, they've always been able to do what you say, even before these apps. The issue is the speed at which it happens, turns ordinary sensible people into members of a mob. That's clearly a problem.
Motherfuck!
Even if one does not subscribe to absolute free speech, I find the prospect of private companies censoring large parts of the internet as they please even scarier.
One of the other big criticisms of Facebook and other social networks is that they're "filter bubbles" which make sure people don't see any information or viewpoints from outside their own social circles and perspectives. The main unifying aspect that the "filter bubble" criticism and the "connecting people" criticism seem to have in common is that both involve Facebook taking away some control of the culture from the press, the media, and other powerful groups and giving it to the populace; other than that, they should be contradictory.

The reason why Apple's iOS App Store is so successful, is it's the only store accessible/allowed. On Mac Apple is also competing with Steam, which probably taxes quite a lot App Store game sales.
Learning to cultivate the land and live from it without depending on income and buying food is in and of itself something you can practice, with the benefit of greater health and reduced cost of living. The "benefit" of being "prepared" for doomsday is at best secondary to that.

I find i fascinating that I produce the best tasting peas in my garden, and it all originated from a small pea my son got from school. If I give a single pea to a modern person in the city, they most likely wouldn't have any idea of what to do with it.
Research is not yet clear, but not every calorie is the same!

The combination of nutrients in food can have a large effect on the efficiency of nutrient extraction in your stomach and gut. For example, when you consume alchol and a meal afterwards your body will store more fat than if you'd just taken a (slightly larger) meal. This is because your body will prioritize burning the acetate and alchol over anything else (including carbs, fat and protein). Other foods or chemicals might have effects on the resource burning allocation of your body.
That's the point. It's an 80s nostalgia fest for the narrow audience who grew up & wallowed in the media of the time, presenting the grand fantasy pulled together by the then-promise of VR (tragically lacking the hardware needed).

Daytime drowsiness increases risk of Alzheimer's in elderly, study says
"Harvoni now costs about $48,000 for a 12-week course in Malaysia and $12,000 in Chile. Gilead’s previous Sovaldi treatment cost $1,000 a pill, or $84,000 over 12 weeks. Prices vary around the world and tend to be highest in the US."

I can understand slight differences, but this is disturbing.

That said, does anyone know the effects on (US) taxes if a drug company lists a cost as $X but has various programs to sell that product at some fraction of $X?

Between insurance and such, does anyone really pay full price? So is there some (unknown?) incentive for companies to inflate the list price?

Kyle Kallgren's incredibly insightful discussion[1] of sci-fi from Frankenstein to Black Mirror explained one of the mechanisms that create wars out of too much interconnection: metaphor shear.

>> That feeling all users experience when you realize the metaphor you asre working in is bogus. When the computer fails you and you remember that there are a hundred translations between input and output. Codes and translations we don't have the time or patience to do ourselves. Intellectual labor that we've surrendered to a device.

The map is not the territory; the force-amplification benefits of technology also includes an imperfect model of reality.

> the poor Babel fish

From the same video essay:

>> The joke at the center of Douglas Adams Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy is about metaphor shear. The answer to an important question lost on its long journey from input to output. A computer glitch so huge, so strange and so embarrassing that its programmers have to make a computer the size of a planet to file a bug report.

>> The most advanced software in the world of Black Mirror is people. So many of Brooker's stories use perfect copies of people rendered as software. Easy to download, and very easy to abuse. Of course, this technology already exists. There are already other people on our devices, rendered as text and avatars. Individual contact abstracted through one hundred layers of metaphor shear. Sometimes, that shear makes it to easy to commit inhuman acts.

I thought the same, but the portuguese version of the text offer a different view:

> hello is the first social network build on profound friendships instead of 'likes'.

So maybe it is a social network whose focus is people you really know well instead of companies and random people? I dunno, it's still very vague.
If you are sworn in you can be prosecuted for perjury if you lie. That's a different statute with different penalties than "making false statements," which is what you get if you lie to Congress while not under oath. Whether or not witnesses must be sworn in vary based on the rules of the particular committee in question, and is often subjectively done.
> The principle of charity would have you assume there do exist good reasons to write a microkernel in C++

Except this was tried. More than once for different kernels (EROS and L4 at least), and they regretted it and then switched back to C. Both projects made many excellent arguments against C++ in a microkernel that haven't suddenly disappeared in modern C++.

So I think I am being charitable in this case because the weight of evidence suggests otherwise. It's charitable to assume that the developers are well meaning but aren't familiar with the history. This isn't staggering ignorance, just ordinary run of the mill ignorance.
Nuster – a new web cache server
You can always use a third party app. That works around any website redesigns.
It would be interesting to repeat it with a microprocessor connected to two motor control boards, two ADC boards connected to sensors, and an LCD. Present them as black boxes to the neuroscientist. Run code on the microprocessor that exercises the peripherals, instead of games.

Creating a "lesion" in the motor control boards would effect behavior of the attached devices, as well as, perhaps the output on the LCD. Similarly for the sensor boards.

Once the "lesions" have let the neuroscientist determine the function of the peripherals, they could look at the effect of lesions in the microprocessor on the functions of the peripherals and system as a whole when running various programs.

Maybe a program that exercises the "left side" motors, a program that exercises both sides, etc.

Maybe a microprocessor alone is too small of a unit of functionality, akin to studying an amygdala in a petri dish.

LLVM-IR is not really a standard and it is not backwards compatible across LLVM releases and usually the generated IR is also specific to the target platform. Of course it's still vastly easier recompile already generated IR to a different platform as opposed to writing an emulator but it's not supposed to be used this way.

It's simply not possible to compare LLVM-IR to WASM SPIR-V JVM BEAMVM CLR bytecode.

Read on Kindle and look up words using the inbuilt dictionary. Then use vocabulary builder app on Kindle. You can quiz yourself. This I think is the best way to improve your vocabulary, learn words in context(just like kids do in real life).

Next, think about the words and where they are useful during the chatter in your head as you go about your day.
Exceptions and even RAII should never be used in a microkernel. This might be useful in a monolothic kernel, but that's not the context here.
Running content blockers have solved this problem for me while keeping JavaScript enabled.
Good. I don't really use reddit anymore these days, largely because of their censorship policies, but this is a step in the right direction. Free speech is an important western value, and having it available on the internet is a positive thing. Let abhorrent views be aired publicly and die by being refuted, not be hidden and fester into extremist madness.
I don't think it's any fault of Ember, but more that there are now other competing options in the front-end Javascript space, and these will naturally suit some other use-cases more.

Money as an incentive allows a lot of bad behaviour to exist, and regulating and enforcement bodies don't seem to have proper processes for self-regulation - which would catch this kind of conflict of interest, as one example.

My hope is that killer apps will be used [1] more and more for decentralized platforms. Much like email became so popular - and still in use - I hope we eventually get to a state where centralized silos/platforms are thought of as silly; sort of what the AOL walled garden was.

[1] I stated "used" because there are plenty of apps (and underlying networks) related to decentralized social platforms that are already developed and in existence...more people simply have to make use of them.
Thanks for your comment because I am not saying that at all.

All I'm saying is that a certain amount of friction is a necessary part of our survival as a species. I'm not making any comments about the press or people organizing or any of that.

Some message boards, including HN, have a delay between the time you read a comment and when you are allowed to form a reply. This cuts way back on flame wars. It's also a nice example of purposely introducing some friction for a larger good.

I don't know how much friction is needed or where it should go. I'm just now reaching the conclusion about Facebook and social media. This utopia they've all been preaching is actually a dystopia, a horrible thing indeed. I'm nowhere near having any thoughts about a solution.

It’s called autopilot because “autopilot” already has a technical meaning which doesn’t imply self-driving. Heck, some aircraft autopilots are so primitive they only keep the aircraft in level flight without terrain following (although some do that). No versions of autopilot mean the pilot doesn’t have to pay attention. This is all already established through broad use before Tesla introduced the term to cars.

The same linguistic games you’re trying to play for “autopilot” apply just as well to “cruise control” or worse, since that term didn’t have an already-understood technical definition when introduced to cars.

It's cool of you to share bro. I would care we reserve judgement and the urge to draw conclusions until we have collected a lot of evidence.

My father too has a PhD and dresses like mantracker. Blending in is a societal concern we can address once we settle the personal ones. I'll share one reason I wear a tie, it helps with my hypertension from stress and helps me contain my anger at technical debt and things of that nature. I wear a jacket for all the pockets.

Not sure why this has been posted here. The app is nearly abandoned and dead at this point.

I know we all want alternatives to the status quo, but you're not going to find it among a bunch of copycat services that haven't solved any of the fundamental problems causing us so much trouble today.
Of course it's cheaper if you ignore all the R&D costs.

I disagree, when eating natural unprocessed plant foods it is virtually impossible to OD on calories. Sure we need to eat varied. But ODin on calories on a whole-plant-based (WFPB) diet will need you to go straight for the avocados, dates and nuts. Otherwise you are pretty much safe.

When moving towards a WFPB myself I had to get used to eating much larger portions. Its bizarre to know how many olives one needs to eat to get the same amount of fats as in one tbsp of olive oil. Also, combined with the fiber in the olives, that same fat is suddenly not that harmful.

Counting calories sucks. I hope we can fix our notion of food in a way that we do not have to teach all children to count calories. Just teach them to differentiate between real food (as it was growing on this planet before we evolved into humans) an what comes from a factory. The go to the beach and show them how your food choices affect you.

I actually have started face to face conversations like that, but admittedly had tone of voice to soften it.

I can see how it can sound harsher than intended in text-only.
Disagree. Microsoft keep making new APIs and depricating old ones. With Mac you got cocoa which goes back to 1989 and you can still use.

It might not be backwards compatible but from a developers perspective it is nice to be able to reuse old knowledge.

I think Apple has been much better than MS or Linux in continously modernizing and upgrading what they have. On windows and linux things tend to become dead ends as new flashy APIs appear.

Sure old win32 and motif apps might still run but nobody really develops using these APIs anymore.

On windows I first use win32, then MFC, then it was WinForms. Then all of that got depricated and we got WPF, silverlight and then I sort of lost track of what was going on. Meanwhile on Linux people used tcl/tk for GUIs early on. And there was motif, wxeindows. KDE and Gnome went through several full rewrites.

If we look at MacOS X as the modern version of NeXTSTEP the core technology has been remarkable stable.

Sure they have broken compatibility plenty of times but the principles and API are at their core the same.
As long as they don't totally lock computing down with Trusted Platform Modules and walled gardens and touch-only input, as long as we can still write Turing-complete code, we'll be the old men and women still being much faster and better at traversing the Internet clouds than the regular population.

It was definitely still part of Facebook when it started rolling out beyond colleges to high school students around 2005/2006. I remember people spending way too much time rating randos in study halls back then.
Agree, it makes no sense, lets see if the OP can tell us if this happens in the future or not. Maybe I'm just scared.
You've almost answered your own question, I think. Providing mass transit on popular routes at peak times is relatively easy. It's more difficult when you need to get someone from A to B that is 100 miles away, and then back again the same day. It's more difficult when you are getting someone from A to B at the start of the evening, but their shift finishes at 4am and then they need to get home again.

To provide a viable transport network, operating full-time with competitive journey times, without making a prohibitive financial loss or being environmentally unfriendly, you need a critical mass of people using each service you run. That generally means you need a high enough population density over a large enough urban area that almost all routes become "main routes" and almost all times become "busy times".
And you are underestimating the crowd that will prefer to buy "human made" and not "cheap automated robot crap"

Not saying they will be right or wrong, but that's the current dichotomy with US Made / Non US made goods.
