Usually synthetic forms of any molecule are dangerous or have side effects the natural form doesn't because both the left and right-hand mirror forms of the molecule are present, in equal quantities, in the synthetic product. It's only recently that we've been able to separate and discard one form to create synthetics that are of only one-handedness. A new, better zyrtec (drug for allergies) that's come on the market in the last couple of years is one example.

This is why synthetic perfumes are so extraordinarily dangerous for people with asthma, and cause several times as many deaths each year in Isreal as terrorism does, but natural scents are almost always fine. (It is possible to have dangerous allergic reactions to natural scents, too, causing severe edema and death, but this is far more rare.) Only tobacco is close to the same level of risk for asthmatics.

Of course, other forms of contamination are also possible, not to mention that other chemicals in the natural plant may be modifying the effect or compensating for side effects.

> Right, remember that when Middle English was around, the New World hadn't been discovered

Well, Middle English starts a couple centuries after the Norse settlement in North America, so that's not strictly true, even with the implict “by Europeans” restriction.

I found this interesting too. Does anyone know a reason why it didn't work?
It’s Hacker News. Asking commenters to expand their field of vision past their nose is a losing proposition.
It's clear that you are anti-union.

Under your earlier guidelines, if you were a TA at a business course in Harvard, I would not be able to trust that you would give an impartial treatment of labor rights.

"The threat of violence and property damage was what compelled companies to negotiate."

It's like you didn't even read the Wikipedia page for Commonwealth v. Hunt.

In that court case - the one which established the legal right for unions in the US - where was the threat of violence and property damage?

Based on my reading of the MA Supreme Court judgement, there wasn't any. If there had been, the decision would have gone the other way.

The collective bargaining power in that came from the ability of the workers to leave Wait’s shop, and by exercising their freedom of employment, incur economic hardship on the Wait.

Perhaps I am wrong, and you can point to how the Boston Journeymen Bootmaker’s Society threatened violence and property damage.

But if you cannot, then your understanding of labor relations is invalid, which should make you question about how you came to those beliefs.

Or perhaps you'll argue that your ability to sign a non-union contract with a company means that those who have a union contract with the company are prohibited from freely leaving their employment?

Because I can't make sense of why I can be forced to work for a company when I want to leave it, just because you want to work there.
Absolutely. I keep the Tibetan 'sky burial' in mind often these days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sky_burial

and some videos if you're not squeemish:

But ultimately these are beliefs that are held by living people, shaped by culture and time.

> Tesla's Autopilot seems to be little more than the same lane keeping and adaptive cruise control everyone else has with the safety tolerances lowered a whole lot, to the detriment of several dead drivers.

It seems that way to you because you haven't used the system. It is not operating with "tolerances lowered a whole lot" or really, at all.

> You can readily buy other cars with the same EyeQ3 board that powered AutoPilot until Tesla's breakup with Mobileye, and their new Nvidia-based clone of it does little more than the original.

It's quite silly to talk about the hardware when it's obvious that it's the software that will truly differentiate the systems.

Tesla's system is much more impressive than anything else on the market because of the software involved for both hardware revisions. It is able to operate in environments where other systems fail and is able to do so reliably on more roads than their competition.

> You're taking their marketing at face value while their EAP/FSD packages have largely been vaporware for 2.5 years now.

You're correct here, but then again, the same can be said of their competitors.
You can read the book I mentioned, it's all in there.
If it’s a lawyers phone I’d expect the clients would have a legal claim to privacy.
Maybe I’m weird but that’s exactly the kind of response I would want.
Point taken, and worth noting, the English hadn't discovered the New World, but other Europeans, including Portugal, had. But maize wasn't grown anything like that far north!!! Maybe as far north as Missouri, where there were dense populations, but not further. So, yes, it is strictly true that maize would be unknown in England then.

But c'mon man, "the Oxford English Dictionary specifies the period of 1150 to 1500" so when the usage was established in England only Vikings had reached the New World, in Newfoundland, etc.
Real-time graphics in general, not just VR, has always had "tricks" at its core. What has drawn me to that subfield of graphics is I think the collection of 'hacks' and deceptions that are needed for the user/viewer to buy into the virtual environment, whether on a desktop screen or in an HMD. There's an aspect of cleverness about it all that I enjoy -- from billboarding faraway objects instead of rendering them as 3D to baking static shadows into textures before runtime.

I wonder if there have been any in-depth articles examining comparisons between real-time graphics and stagecraft. The design of props and backgrounds in the theatre has similar objectives -- not necessarily fooling the audience into thinking it's real, but using a collection of 'tricks' to extend the capabilities of the stage to achieve greater effects. When attending a performance of The Nutcracker a few months ago, I found myself fascinated by how the multiple layers of forced-perspective backdrops offered a greater sense of depth to the stage.
Not a joke at all. The police are not your enemy and they're not out to get you and suck up all your data in order to best violate your privacy.
>Concerning the dead man's privacy, it doesn't matter, he's dead.

Religious people who believe in afterlife would disagree with this, so I think it's still a valid point to discuss in general, although it might not be the point in this particular case.
Yeah, I think if you're going to try to recover power from sewer water at all, it's probably best to do it downstream of the treatment.
Electric unicycle? I own several. Some will even go over 50 km/h, though I don't dare go that fast. It's just safe to have the extra power when needed.
Wrong finger perhaps? Held at a wrong angle, getting a different part of the fingerprint? Dehydration affecting the capacitance of the body when scanned?
How would this be different from using someone’s fingerprints to identify them, if they had no ID on them or any other ID method? Is that desecration too?
This looks like a great project. I have a few questions in case the maintainers read this.

- Do you plan to stay up-to-date with new Moby releases, or is it a one-time hard fork?

- Do you plan on contributing some of the IoT optimizations back into mainline Moby over time?

- If you have contributed to Moby in the past, what's your experience of contributing, is the community welcoming?

- What's the planned differenciation between Balena and Resin.io?
I'm not saying that slow installs are good or bad, and as you point out, there are sometimes good reasons for making installs faster. (Although for VMs, a lot of people use docker or premade VM images just for this reason)

In another interesting case I've run into in the past, the installation of World of Warcraft is insanely good and had a lot of effort put into it (a little bit by me, even). This was important as being able to start the game as soon as possible, even before you've downloaded the entire thing, is a way to actually increase conversion to paid users (or really, to not take so long that a person goes off and does something else and forgets to play WoW). This is one reason why there's an incremental install process for Blizzard games that involves a lot more tricks than most people realize.
You are agreeing strenuously, I think.
If this sort of topic interests you, I'd highly recommend "Behave" by Robert Sapolsky. A lot of the book examines what is going on in the brains of people who have strongly held "us" vs "them" beliefs (i.e. sexists, racists, homophobes). The core thing with these people seems to be essentialist beliefs - believing there is something essentially different and/or wrong with the out group and being too cognitively lazy to view people as individuals or trying to find commonalities.

So some people can actually strongly empathize with their in-group and do terrible things to others in the out-group, so I'm not sure I'd say a lack of empathy is 100% the cause of some of humanities worst behavior. More so bad ideas and cognitive laziness. Another thing to mention is that empathy can actually hinder action if you happen to have strong feelings of empathy for someone who is suffering. The reason is because if you're feeling someone else's suffering, you're going to then be focused on how you can stop feeling the suffering yourself instead of how you can help the other person. It has been shown that the stronger you're feeling someone else's suffering, the less capable you will be to help them. Having more compassion is the answer to this problem and if everyone was more compassionate, the world would be immeasurably better.

Not exactly. You can add as many replicas as you need to scale reads.
That's true if you never need to run errands after coming home, visit friends who live an hour away and don't have a charger, etc. etc. Let alone people who actually make a living by driving around.

If you don't have your own charger or access to a free one, commercial chargers aren't necessarily cheaper than gas either. Last time I ran numbers for my wife's plug-in, apart from free chargers (Volta or some municipal ones) putting in gas was cheaper.

Not only can most programmers not create it, most can't implement it:

Binary search is a great example because it's so simple and yet it's so easy to implement incorrectly. In Programming Pearly, Jon Bently shares how, over the years, he asked hundreds of programmers to implement binary search after providing them with a description of the basic algorithm. He gave them a very generous two hours to write it, and even allowed them to use the high-level language of their choice (including pseudocode). Surprisingly, only about 10 percent of professional programmers implemented binary search correctly. (Beautiful Code, p. 87)
Ah, okay - apologies that I didn't pick up on that.

I wouldn't self-describe as a board gamer. I monitor the forums & reviews a bit, and have been going to a local meetup for a little while.

But it does feel like board gamers tend to be quite familiar with games outside their 'preference zone' -- perhaps more so than other work & hobby areas I've experienced. Anecdotal, to be sure.
Not even comparable, but one of the most incredible moments in my life was while I was studying at university. I joined a NASA competition with a friend and we worked really hard to win, and so we did.

The next morning in class, as I went through the door, my classmates stood up and started cheering and clapping at me. I had some sort of happiness brain meltdown where I didn't even know how to react. From that moment, students I didn't know from all majors stopped me at the campus cafeteria and hallways to ask me about it.

I think being recognized by your peers in this way gives a different kind of perspective/feeling that I had never felt before.

The man is objectively dead and loss of privacy doesn't affect it any more. The living - you, me, the family of the dead man - want that corpse and the memories we associate with it treated with a certain level of respect.

I'm not sure how religious you must be to become hysterical that a dead finger was placed on a phone to help solve a crime.
Hashicorp fanboy alert:

I've never developed anything in Go, but I have used Hashicorp's Consul, Nomad, and Vault all written in Go - they are each one relatively small executable, with no dependencies that you can run either in client, server, or dev mode.

The only slightly irritating thing is that there is no built in support to run them as a Windows service. I had to use NSSM.

That's what an installation should be.
Related: in [1] there's a VR version of the hyperbolic plane where there's "more space" than the Euclidean space we live in. So the person in the demo walks a loop and a half in order to end up back where he started in hyperbolic space.

Exactly. I hate bureaucracy as much as anyone, but it exists for a good reason. An enterprise just isn't a bee-hive, where everyone does a reasonably good job to keep the whole thing alive because they are just born that way. And there cannot be any rapid innovation in a bee-hive anyway. It's silly to dismiss communications and the chain of command within a company as some bothersome thing that "just hurts the actual work". Well, yeah, it is bothersome, but, no — it is actual work.

Even if every employee would be good at everything that anyone in the company does — which obviously isn't and cannot be the case — communications aren't this wholly rational process that benefits the company proportionally to how it benefits the agents, and it's unlikely that "factor of ten better precision" could be born as a result of important design decisions taken by some random pairs of lowest-level workers in private discussions, without informing anyone else involved (simply because they don't really understand how anyone is involved/affected by their clever decision).

Long story short, even given all this not-entirely-serious image of Musk, I'm kinda surprised to hear so naïve statements from him. He's in business long enough to know already that some idealistic visions just don't work in the real wordld, and it's one thing to tell them to your buyers and inverstors, and another — to your actual employees.

> it can feel as if the most simple thought is deeply profund -- so this is something one has to watch out for, if they care about genuine insight.

Maybe I've gone off the deep end, but I think a lot of the deepest and most meaningful truths I've realized are actually tautological. It's as though it's all just one giant circle, you start with a simple tautological statement like "it is what it is" and think it's silly, spend years thinking about, observing, and modeling reality, and come to the profound conclusion that it is indeed what it is. The only difference is that having walked the circle and observed the statement from all sides you finally understand what it means.

I'm starting to wonder if all truths aren't tautologies. Take evolution: in very simple form it could be stated as "Things that self-replicate self-replicate. Things that are better at it are better at it".
That sounds correct, thanks!

This is the classic problem where people use averages as a metric, but ignore the fact that variations are not distributed evenly.

I remember looking at the economics of a clinic for our product. Someone said "let's just give them a 5% discount as on average they will break-even.

That works if you look at on average how much they make, but ignore the fact that every clinic has a different mix of insurance companies and *their own economics are all different."
Which makes it all the more disconcerting that they would appear to have less legal protections, at least in this case.

That said, disks aren't essential for good bicycle stopping performance. Good rim brakes (like most mid or high end road bicycles) stop just as quickly as disk brakes in dry conditions. Rim brakes are not really an option for long boards, though.
