Prince Harry: Fortnite more addictive than alcohol
If sex is optional for gender, then how is gender different from fashion?

It is a good point IMO, and from the perspective of the theory of embodied cognition, to which I highly subscribe, I've always had a hard time thinking that male and female minds (intersex set aside) can just interchangeable. There are physical and physiological differences, such as hormones, that must make a difference in cognition and somehow must extend to behaviour/tastes.

It's an inference given a theory, which questions me. Not trying to be affirmative here.
There won't be inflation in that circumstance. The whole point would be to counter deflation with just enough money to bring about normal productivity before things really go south and nobody works at all.

In the long run, the injection would need to be unwound when things are back to normal though, or else there might be inflationary phenomena in one form or the other.

It's a tricky maneuver to execute because you're doing it on the broad economy, not specific sections.
You don't want standing access to this data. That would be a very bad idea.

On the other hand, you do need devs to be able to look at real data when it's absolutely necessary (generally with a code-enforced gatekeeper and an audit trail). And you need to make sure a dev can SSL into a node for repair/maintenance (again with an audit trail).

That's the argument for using one of the many Identity and Access Management tools/providers out there, including the systems that come baked into the cloud providers.
Maybe boom/recession cycle height/depth is the resolution of human reaction time.
Can we just agree that Matt was pointing out a gap and leave it at that?

I know more than most people that there is a cost to making things accessible. Do you not think that I get the dumbed-down, PR/support-filtered version of that response every single time I reach out to a company and tell them that a thing my company is using is unusable by me? :)

But I think we, by which I mean everyone in this thread, can acknowledge that without implying that our needs aren't worth considering because there aren't many of us, or that they aren't worth considering because no one immediately knows how. If that isn't what folks have done here then I'll own my misunderstanding, but folks could have just acknowledged the comment rather than criticizing him for having the audacity to suggest that I too might want to appreciate the technical achievement for myself..

And FWIW, I kind of resent having my disability, which no amount of learning or software upgrades will fix, lumped into the same category of English proficiency or IE 6. That does feel a bit condescending. Saying "well, some people can't upgrade their browsers" is in an entirely different league than a visual disability that no amount of upgrades or night classes can fix. I'm not saying that switching browsers or learning a new language are possible for everyone, but short of gene editing, there is no way for me to eliminate my blindness. I'm not upset about the examples you chose, but would like to politely suggest that you reframe how you think about these issues. :) Thanks, and not in a snarky way. :)

The Spotify situation is basically the main reason I haven’t bought Watch yet.
The whole talk about "talent" is bullshit. Big corps don't want John Carmacks. They want replaceable, predictable drones that do what they are told to do.
I for one welcome your post. Like you said, knowing what fellow HN users are up to is interesting. Especially much so when the person in question (you) have been prominent within something that I care about (Rust), and now you are getting a job at a place where I myself totally would have wanted to work as well (CloudFlare) :)

It isn’t really a 30% cut because you can buy iTunes cards at pretty significant discounts, up to 25%, which comes out of that cut.
Deep learning training, especially distributed training solutions can utilize greater pcie bandwidth.
For what it's worth, I only switched from Spotify to Apple music because it integrates better with the rest of the Apple ecosystem, despite the core experience being worse.

The fact that this is true not for lack of willingness on Spotify's part, but because Apple restricts integration for third-party developers is the reason Apple should be absolutely nailed to the wall with an antitrust charge.

I mean, after spending more than a thousand hours fixing traffic problems, I even briefly thought about changing my career to become a transport planner. If some other mod/game gives me even more precision and options, I'd probably be spending all my free time in it.

Skylines is a mediocre city simulation game but a great traffic management/simulation game.
Social media links are broken btw, wanted to give you guys a like.
I think the absolutely titanic levels of quantitative easing that came and went in the last crisis can only be viewed as an unequivocal vote of confidence in our financial system. Consumers and investors got scared and shut down their buying, but we printed out way back to heaven and no one batted an eye. Fiat currency belongs in the pantheon of history's greatest inventions alongside fire, the wheel and electricity.
> Unless there is some precise definition of fake news, this is just censorship in sheep's clothing.

Singaporean here. This is the bill that was proposed in Singapore's parliament on 1 April (PDF): https://www.parliament.gov.sg/docs/default-source/default-do...

The problem that many people have with the bill, as it is, is that it gives the power to Singapore's government ministers to issue "correction" or "stop communication" directions, on the entirely arbitrary grounds of "public interest".

There is a definition of "public interest" in the bill, but it includes a section which contains broad terms like "… to prevent a diminution of public confidence in [the government and its bodies]". The courts have no power to determine whether the public interest need is legitimate.

Second, the bill is procedurally flawed. An entity issued with an order by the minister must comply immediately, or can be charged with non-compliance. If they wish to contest the order, they have to first appeal to the minister, which is not obliged to reply within a fixed period of time. It is only after a minister rejects their appeal that they are allowed to file a case in the High Court (which requires expensive legal representation, unlike the State Courts).

This allows a minister to effectively delay the appeal process indefinitely.

Furthermore, unlike defamation, the minister also has the power to require the given entity to publish a specifically-worded apology (at their own expense).

This is worse than mere censorship — it's giving the government the power to make people say things.

Finally, note that the Singapore government is claiming to have jurisdiction over all media, as long as it is communicated to an end user in Singapore. Content publishers and their intermediaries will also be affected by this law.

Consumers buy an iPhone knowing that Apple runs the App Store.

Yes, but that's important to know if you're proposing unionization in the hopes that it will make it so that every qualified person who wants to work in game development is paid fairly. Like with acting, only a small fraction of people will find such jobs, even with unionization.
I have never seen anyone saying that $5 a day of anything is ruining someone's retirement plans. But yes, spending $5 on a latte, $5 on a croissant, another $5 on candies and a tenner on Uber, ..., and the daily wasted money will eventually add up.

That article is nothing more than a spineless Straw Man fallacy.
What you have heard and read is wrong. No, people forced to live as a gender contrary to their own do not grow up to be well adjusted adults. Gender dysphoria is a real disorder as any perusal of legitimate medical research will tell you. The sources I imagine you reach for are non-scientific and not appropriate for HN.
What leads you to believe the people spreading fake news on WhatsApp and Facebook, leading to death and violence, aren't already real people using their real names?

In articles like https://www.wired.com/story/how-whatsapp-fuels-fake-news-and... there's no mention of anonymous, fake, or untraceable accounts, just real people being outraged and sharing misleading, sensationalized, or outright fake news, ultimately leading to tragedy.

Not to mention, your proposal is barely different from what Facebook already does.
So what is an example of a call that is idempotent? Are only requests that don't modify state considered idempotent, by your definition?

Oh, one last bit I missed:

> Like: did you want to write this, or did Cloud Flare reallllllly want you to write this?

I brought up to them that I wanted to write a post about joining, and asked if they wanted marketing to look it over or something. They said "no need, we'll be happy with whatever you write."

I see it as a mutually beneficial thing, and always have, everywhere I've worked.
Another way to look at it... With thousands of people playing the game, some are bound to be the luckiest. It doesn't necessarily mean they have more insight.

Why does one become an entrepreneur
It’s not a misconception. Have you seen the model 3 interior? Almost zero buttons. And model Y is gonna be built on the same frame as model 3 so we can expect more of the same dangerous idiotic design that lead Tesla to force drivers to take their eyes off the road and look at a screen to do something as simple as turn on the Air Conditioning.

Everyone who’s ever driven a Tesla knows that they are fragile death-and-vomit machines masquerading as strong proud cars.

In fairness I have not used the touchpad in linux in a couple years. I think its always been a picture of Apples touchpad tech being lightyears ahead of everyone else, or at least the patents keep everyone behind and the default support in Linux was also iffy.
> You can't appeal to the "spirit" of a soulless ruleset

Here's a simple razor: if the people who wrote the rules, upon learning of what you are doing, would likely have written the rules differently to make illegal what you are doing, it's against the "spirit" of the rules.

Example: if some tax code says, people who make below $100k must pay $10k in taxes, and people who make above $100k must pay $20k, paying someone $99,999 to avoid extra taxes is a foreseeable consequence and therefore not an unethical loophole. However, paying someone exactly $100k so they fall in neither bracket and thus need not pay any taxes is probably not what the policymakers intended; they would surely have amended the rules had they had this pointed out to them before enacting this tax code.

Of course, this requires being a judge of intent, but what ethical framework doesn't have grey areas?

Yes, they're different things. They're also the two basic tools in the union toolkit for driving up wages.
> Democracy is easy to manipulate. Each voter has little incentive to become an informed voter, and the cost to becoming informed is high.

But that feature is retained in futarchy, since the whole system relies on an elected legislature engaged in an even more abstract and difficult for a voter to concretely evaluate task than passing policy legislation directly, and that legislature remains a major target for manipulation.
Yeah, you've got enough name recognition here that I saw the headline and my reaction was, "oh, good for him." Same with patio11 joining Stripe. I don't think I'd call HN a community exactly, but there are still people behind the names and it's nice to see positive changes happening for them.

And your post was technically interesting too. I hadn't caught wind of WASI or WASM being run on edge services, so that's given me something to read more about.
Yes. Marketing.
No it's not trivial to change retailer for some products.

I can't buy a Tesla, Tiffanys etc at any other place except their retail store.
The whole "Aids is a gay disease" stage only lasted about 10 or 15 years, during the 1980's and 1990's, and there was a lot more discrimination against homosexuality dating back to periods long, long, long before HIV even existed.

Also, you miss one key point, that gay males catch a lot more hate than lesbians. Some of that has to do with the nature of the implied sex acts. Semen and feces are both firmly in the zone of fundamental conceptual disgust, and there's nothing operating on the same visceral level with lesbian sex acts. Menstruation and lactation, after all, are part of the package, whether a woman is gay or straight.
I've really wanted a HomePod too but have held out because Apple requires the user to use Apple Music to stream music off of it.
>it would still be a democratic state

Only through the first election cycle [1].

Your idea is valid in a static, nothing-ever-changes world, with no significant political dynamics to speak of. However, out in the world as we know it, political processes run all the time, the proverbial pendulum swings, and consensus is formed via vocal advocacy and protests.

Right now we have four basic things defined as "political speech": person-to-person conversations; mass communication (press, TV, radio, online videos); peaceful physical actions like assembly and manifestations; and finally donations to candidates, parties and PACs. We protect each and every recognized form of "political speech" exactly because without it the important changes could not happen.

In a world with limited communication, you'd have on one side a small ruling clique, semi detached from daily concerns, a large mass of disenfranchised and zoned out people coasting along in the middle, and on the other side you'd have a small fraction of disenfranchised and either abused or outright persecuted people that can't even raise the wider society's awareness. This is an unstable state, leading to societal collapse in one way or another.

Let people speak effectively, lest they could not protest problems or oppression. Let people speak effectively, lest the wider society couldn't even learn of the problems faced by sub-groups. Being heard is the first, necessary step to having wants and grievances addressed.

This somehow will have to change.

The top grossing iOS app (Tinder.app) somehow is not really complaining about this though, but that's because most their revenue comes from the iOS in app purchases.
Who was it that said no one in America is poor, they're just "temporarily embarrassed millionaires"? This comment is a pretty good representation of that sentiment.
The LGBT community itself has people (TERFs) in it who believe transgender people are just men pretending to be women for sexual gratification.

Many TERFs are effectively identitarians. The unfortunate reality, is that every widespread system which can be exploited, will eventually be exploited. So society needs to be designed with this in mind. Otherwise, one is just providing ammunition to people like TERFs. (Ideological slogans like, "Listen and believe," have probably meant with good intentions, but are epistemologically bankrupt. The same goes for all erosions of due process and innocent until proven guilty.)
This is the second post I see about this edge functions, and while I appreciate the advantages (decreasing network latency should definitely have an impact), will this matter much if the database is still centralized? If most edge functions still need to talk to a centralized database, won’t that be essentially the same, performance wise?
> If the people are upset about my rule, they can always be reminded to elect a new government (which will, of course, be powerless to do anything about me)

This is paralleled/satirized in the British comedy "Yes, Minister", wherein an idealistic politician attempts to enact his campaign agenda alongside a cynical (and unelected) bureaucrat, who holds all the political capital, and tediously educates the new Minister on how power actually works in practice.

It's also mirrored in the original concept of the "Deep State" (before the term was heavily co-opted by conspiracy theorists): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_state
What do you consider the more relevant biology for who a person is? The genitals or the brain?
Right. Currently in order to do state-of-the-art AI, you need a lot of _computers_ and a lot of _data_. Neither of these is easy to obtain by an individual in a basement.

We would need to consider, however, access to finished products (like trained models). In some cases in the future, having access to the appropriate model might be as dangerous as handing someone a nuke.

How hard would it be for someone to assemble a indiscriminate "killer drone," given the appropriate image recognition and flight control models?

LGBT people are everywhere, being easily several percent of the population. I'm one of them. They should be represented in the media like everyone else. Would you like to explain the reasoning why you are against this? What are your thoughts on the level of racial minority representation in the media? Is that too high for your tastes as well?
There was an npr story a while back about a person who was touted as being the first woman gondolier in Italy. It turns out that this person thought of themselves as a man, and so never liked the attention he was getting as the first "woman" gondolier. The story convinced me that there are people out there with the body of one sex, but the brain of the other. I really think this person has the brain wiring/chemistry of a man but the body of a woman.

He specifically differentiated first from second homes, so it does matter who buys it.

It can get complicated fast, what if you share the plane? Presumably you only pay your portion. What if the plane is idle most of the time? Presumably Boeing won't pay the tax just for making a plane.

What if I build a home instead of buy it? What if I buy a $20,000 home and upgrade it?

This stuff gets really complicated very fast, what seems "oh it's simple, do abc", suddenly isn't.
I think the issue is more around $5 purchases add up. Once a $5 latte becomes acceptable, then $5 pizza, $5 crap from a retail place etc etc.

Serious question...

How did this submission make it to the #10 slot, after being posted 38 minutes ago, and with a handful of comments?

This is a very boring update about some product specs. I cannot see how it could be interesting enough on it's on to merit such a rapid response. It's not even remotely interesting on its own (it's essentially a boring advert).

I noticed the same happened with a Purism advert yesterday.

I'm a natural cynic, so perhaps I'm fooling myself into seeing what I want to see, but is this an example of shilling? Does HN have a history of promoting adverts masquerading as content (Reddit style)?

Do you have more precise and reliable numbers?
You wouldn’t have to know people, but yes there’s a good chance of it. For example, consider if the unemployment rate is 1/300,000,000 (ie. One person in the US is unemployed). Then only the people that know that one person would know an unemployed person. However, the percentage is high enough that everyone should expect to know a couple unemployed people. If the rate is 3% and everyone knows 200 people well enough to know their employment status, then you should expect to know 6 unemployed people.

I don't think this is a completely fair analogy.

> did Cloud Flare reallllllly want you to write this?

I don't think any of us at Cloudflare had any idea Steve was writing this.

Similarly, no one at Cloudflare asked me to write https://sandstorm.io/news/2017-03-13-joining-cloudflare back when I joined, and I can't recall if I even told anyone I was writing it. That post also hit #1 on HN, which, honestly, was a huge surprise to me -- I didn't think it was that interesting, for similar reasons to what you say. I wrote it because it seemed like an obviously sensible thing to announce, but not really for attention-getting purposes...

I guess people are free to upvote what they think is interesting?
Yes, nepotism is everywhere, but I would argue that for some of these very insular sectors like art, many jobs exist solely so they can be filled with the relatives of rich potential clients. That's slightly different than some management job being filled by someone who may be less qualified but is still expected to do the work.
I don't think that needs to stop. Each person is responsible for evaluating the information presented to them and deciding what to believe or not. It is nobody's responsibility to compensate for gullibility, or simply lack of critical thinking, by restricting what information reaches people in the first place. That is called censorship.
