Yes, not only for people that want things for free, but also people that want control over their media. If artist X decides to blacklist spotify/google play because they don't like it or whatever, or they make some deal with a competitor, etc. You can no longer listen to it on spotify.

This scenario already exists with netflix, you now have to have netflix, amazon prime, hulu, youtube premium and whatever disney's new streaming service will be called. Because each contains their own exclusives, and with some cases they won't contain the same products forever.

So now you have to juggle between different apps to get whatever media you're trying to access. As for bittorrent, if you're tech literate, you can setup an automatic downloading/streaming setup in 1-2 afternoons and have all the stuff you want, in one place, forever, at the low cost of $25 per terabyte.

> Unless you believe that only old white men are capable of being on the board you should ask yourself why only old white men are on the board.

Have you asked that question and looked for a scientifically valid answer instead of jumping to bigotry?

There are many objective reasons for that, one being:

> Fewer women than men become executive managers. They earn less over their careers, hold more junior positions, and exit the occupation at a faster rate. We compiled a large panel data set on executives and formed a career hierarchy to analyze mobility and compensation rates. We found that, controlling for executive rank and background, women earn higher compensation than men, experience more income uncertainty, and are promoted more quickly. Amongst survivors, being female increases the chance of becoming CEO. Hence, the unconditional gender pay gap and job-rank differences are primarily attributable to female executives exiting at higher rates than men in an occupation where survival is rewarded with promotion and higher compensation.

> There is still a question of why women have a higher nonmarket outside option than men. One explanation is that women acquire more nonmarket human capital than men throughout their lives, and hence find retirement a relatively attractive option. Women in the top executive market are mostly beyond childbearing age, but there is evidence that such women are more likely to leave for personal and other household reasons than their male counterparts. For example, Sicherman (1996) finds that in a case study of a large insurance company, female executives were more likely than their male counterparts to exit the firm because of better working conditions elsewhere, to be near home, change of residence, household duties, personal health, illness in the family, and positions abolished. Most of those reasons, except position abolished, are voluntary departures related to home or family.

This is a good question! In reality, for this process they do: see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pair_production. But ignoring this and JBorrows (correct) comments on other properties to be conserved, we can ask:

IF more matter is made (in some process) than anti-matter, then why? To explain this, we would need some sort of mechanism where matter was treated differently to antimatter in the laws of physics... and then you are back to the original question of looking for differences.

Non-gravitationally, the general case of antimatter behaving differently to matter is covered by the concept of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP_violation - we do know of cases where this is the case, but not strongly enough to explain what we observe in the universe - the article looks a little heavy but does have a section on the matter-antimatter imbalance that is a little easier to read.

Ancient Viruses Are Buried in Our DNA (2017)
Above a certain age

I've wondered about this a lot. I don't think our generation (I'm assuming most of us are millenials) operates in this regard in the way even our parents did and other than the prevalence of social media and possibly because of more diverse demographics, I can't really understand why that is.

Why do we suddenly get very inward-looking in our 30s when it comes to forming new friendships, especially among the more affluent?

> With cheap music streaming services such as spotify, apple music and google play as well as video streaming such as netflix and amazon, does anyone need bittorrent anymore?

Covering just the "evil, bad" piracy angle: very much yes. If you're not in the US, you can usually stream some small subset of movies and TV shows, often months after their release (which means you've missed out on participating in global comentary, which happens immediately after release). Then, streaming services like to remove titles at random, without notice. So the movie you streamed legally last year and want to show to your SO today might no longer be available (happens to me frequently with Netflix).

You also have to adjust for the fact that most of what climate scientists publish is already conservative. Get them talking one-to-one and their predictions for the next decades are dire.

Me, I take a pessimistic view - I don’t think you have to have a large percentage change in, say, crop production, or storm damage rebuilding costs, for economies to feel the effect - prices rise, labour is diverted from growth to maintenance, and adaptations are ultimately made, but in the intervening period expense has been incurrred, and by now the climate has warmed further. The costs end up growing astronomically, and at what point do governments fail due to popular discontent, at what point do further governments collapse and even wars start due to resource cost rises and the need for popular distraction, and mass migration caused by revolution and war nearby?

I’ve put my money where my mouth is - I’ve become itinerant, while I scope out where on earth to live this out - somewhere quiet, and remote, and self-sufficient, that hasn’t yet seen ecological disaster and might escape the worst of climate change due to geography. Sadly, everywhere I’ve been in the past few years, across all continents and hemispheres, even when these places as yet appear verdant and untouched, are feeling the wrath of a changing climate, and human-wrought ecological destruction, from drought to flood, from aquifer pollution to overfarming and desertification, and vast agricultural monoculture, highly vulnerable to moving growing zones and viable climates for pests.

I’d love to be able to do something to prevent this - I recycle, I don’t buy much, I travel overland wherever possible - but I fear we’re too far gone.

What humanity and our civilisation will be in 20 or 30 years I don’t know, but I fear it’ll be unrecognisable and almost unimaginable to us, even now.

I'm inclined to agree. Certainly for games, quality is necessary but not sufficient, and the same goes with marketing. You need them both.

The GP makes a point that pewdiepie picking up this game would result in thousands of sales whereas, although I'm basing this purely on watching the gameplay video, I'd have to say maybe: I don't think pewdiepie, or any other major YouTube reviewer, would pick this up because it's not distinctive enough.

This is especially the case when Infinitroid is going up against games like Dead Cells within the same genre: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbfxPptEU6M. Infinitroid is an impressive piece of work but, as a game, I don't think it comes off well in the comparison.

There are markets where quality is of much less importance, such as enterprise software. How else does a company like Deltek survive? Answer: there aren't that many viable competitors and they're all just as crappy. Then it's down to the quality of and investment in the business development and sales process.

That's great. They discovered the CTLA4 and PD-1 receptors - cell pathways that help protect against auto-immunity and allergy, but which can be hijacked by cancer to prevent cancer clearance.

The realisation that our immune system is important in protection of cancer is only really just starting to blossom, and there is a lot that still isn't understood. We don't know how many cancers are routinely cleared by our immune system. Some researchers think it might be in the order of 10s a day.

Ask HN: Are there any languages/compilers that optimize at this level?
As you might know, if you wanted to grab the lowest entry from a list, lst.sort().first() is extremely inefficient compared to lst.select(1). Grabbing the first sorted entry is the selection algorithm for k=1 [1]

When you are in full-time education (school, university) friendships come naturally from the people you share the experience with. Work doesn't have the same effect because being professional usually implies not combining work with fun and not getting personally close to people.

So when you are in your 30s, you have limited time and limited opportunities to make friends. If you don't spend a lot of time hanging out with someone it is tough to make really good connections. Other factors come into play as well - comparing yourself to others, more niche interests, lack of desire to invest time, having a partner, etc.

I'm a retired neurosurgical anesthesiologist with 37 years of experience. Medications one day after their so-called expiration dates are just as effective as they were 24 hours earlier. Loss of potency and therapeutic efficacy over time varies tremendously depending on storage conditions: drugs kept refrigerated and in the dark will likely work just fine for YEARS after their expiration date. Pharmaceutical companies have noted that they are extremely conservative when it comes to expiration dates, much preferring to err on the side of caution. Dept. of eating your own dogfood: I had an anaphylactic/allergic reaction of unknown etiology in late 2015, my first ever; I had to go to the ER for IV steroids and Benadryl for treatment. No recurrence since. I immediately bought two Epi-Pens, one for my house and one for my car. Their expiration date was March 2017. I am completely comfortable not having purchased new ones, especially considering their now inflated prices even after all the bad publicity that focused on their markup. So I have bet my life on my belief that these "expired" epinephrine injectors will save my life should I ever have another anaphylactic/allergic reaction. However — if someone asked me for advice, I would tell them to get up-to-date ones; as a former practicing physician, this is one of those cases where what you advise is quite different from what you yourself would do.

>if the question would be why there's a bias in which type of matter condenses out of the energy

Yes, it's exactly this! The fact that there's more matter than antimatter in the universe means that, somewhere, some process has to break the symmetry and be 'biased', treating antimatter differently than matter. (There are known processes that do this - certain specific meson decays that are ever-so-slightly biased towards decaying into matter rather than antimatter, other weird stuff like that - but the observed phenomena are nowhere near strong enough to explain the degree to which matter predominates in the observed universe.)

As far as we can tell, all interactions involving gravity, the electromagnetic field, and the strong nuclear interaction[1] are perfectly symmetric with respect to matter versus antimatter. The weak nuclear interaction (which is involved in a lot of processes that transform particles into other kinds of particles, like radioactive decay) does break it - that's what's up with those meson decays - but only a little bit, in very specific cases.

[1]It's actually a bit of a puzzle why the strong force doesn't violate this symmetry; according to our understanding of the math for the strong interaction, it totally could - there are terms that naturally appear in the equations that would lead to it. But, the values for all of those terms appear to be as near to zero as we can measure. There's no obvious reason this should be the case, especially because another force - the weak nuclear force - has no problem with slightly violating that symmetry.
It's possible, but if so the same is the case for the C64 version.
OK, I've been playing with this for an hour or so now and it's magnificent. Exactly what I needed, thank you.
