The Lost Ark
Why did they even open the gate and allow all these new stupid tld's? Who asked for it? It brought nothing good.
> its also par for the course

No, it is not. The world would be a much better place if we all started doing what is right. This isn't difficult: stealing and copying API design and API documentation is wrong.

Make a note of the company, people who work there, and VCs who invested. Computers are good at quickly finding information: one day you might want to do business with one of those people or VCs and digging up this information might change your mind.
and just to elaborate on that specific technique. they will often have an orca coordinate it, likely an older female. that orca spyhops to see the target prey and then signals to the other orcas when to charge the block of ice in formation. they swim fast toward the ice and then dive under right before the ice to send a wave of water over the ice. many times they will intentionally let the seal back onto the ice to be able to practice the maneuver some more. they are also wary of seal bites and prefer to tire prey out. i have even seen one instance where they don't even eat the seal in the end, which indicates they were solely teaching and/or training.

there are other techniques they use which also require high levels of communication. one of which is where they leave one orca behind who stays silent while the rest of the pod leaves the area and starts vocalizing again. (when hunting mammals, orcas stop vocalizing since mammals have good hearing and intelligence.) this relaxes the prey and makes an easy catch for the orca who stayed silently behind. once the prey is caught, the other orcas join back, and the food is shared.

i am personally of the opinion that orcas are the second most intelligent species behind humans and ahead of all other primates. there are examples of orcas interacting with dolphins, even using dolphin vocalizations. there are also examples of orcas working with humans to catch whales, where it almost seems the orcas trained the humans and not the other way around.
thats...not the same.

>Social Security will not be gone, and it is not unsustainable. Currently configured, it will pay out ~75% of earned benefits once the trust fund is exhausted in 2034

The trust fund is the government loaning money to itself. Ultimately, it is an accounting fiction. Instead of tax payers having to shore up a SS shortfall they have to pay back T-Bills. Either way, there's about 3 trillion dollars missing that will need to be paid.
> Nothing you described was indicative of that person having a "mental illness" so much as exhibiting anti-social behavior.

I know this is the internet and for all you know I could be a dog but this is HN and I assume that if I say that person suffered from schizophrenia you know I am not saying that lightly.

Now what more do you want ? A transcript of the conversation between his mother and the department director where she explained his meds were off and they had been waiting for their psychiatrist to adjust the dosage - if that was possible, because she was contemplating to temporary force him to get into a psychiatric hospital ? A YouTube video of how he told me the friction between us was from the bad energy coming from electrical outlets and that the Koreans had taken advantage of him while he was sleeping to replace his heart with a nuclear missile so that we would fight but now it's okay because we are on the same side ? A testimony of another party about the damage he did to a wall with his fist while holding him close to his other fist and screaming "your pal was this close to get it" ? An audio copy of the message I left on my SO voicemail telling her that during the interview at a police station for an IT position they asked me what those fraud computer charges were about (yeah, nice way to find out...) ? A screenshot of the newspaper I was reading on my laptop at that time, it had a picture of something that reminded him of his sister or her wedding and he concluded I had hacked his computer or his sister's computer to get those photos ?

A written note from his doctor ? A wikipedia entry to cancel <citation needed> card ? Bordel.

Now, don't get me wrong. Schizophrenia doesn't define these people. They are human beings, I value them as much as the next one. But with a bad diagnostic and treatment or during a crisis ? They can get hard to relate with.

On a personal note: it's a bit worse for me since I tend to consider myself a good listener and too much empathic for my own good. It doesn't mix well with people in that state. But you'll get no data points for that.
> I don't have any data to back it up but majority of Israeli startups have one goal: to be acquired...

As someone that worked for one, and knows enough people that work in other Israeli startups, I can tell you it isn't true.

True, some startups get acquired, but no more then any other place (the only difference I see is that in some tech areas Israeli talent is considered very good, so when looking for an acquisition, big corps are probably more likely to go for the Israeli options)
Google Walkout Organizers Say They're Facing Retaliation
First machine-generated scientific book in chemistry published (Springer Nature)
Dream is a real time collaboration and communication application that lets you meet up with other people in a virtual space. You can bring up content by way of an integrated chromium browser that can be shared in the virtual space - you can even open up services like Skype / Zoom that will spin up a virtual web cam that can be used to connect with people not in VR.

We chose a deliberately delightful aesthetic vs a more sterile corporate one - so the comparison to Nintendo is I think a good one, but we are definitely not a game experience.

I'd recommend checking out the video in the blog post (in the link above) which will show you a video shot in Dream where my co-founder and I talk through some of the new additions to Dream in this version 1.0 release.

Hope that helps clarify a bit, and if you have other questions or any feedback would definitely love to hear it!
Metabolic Syndrome, Hypertension and My Journey to Put Them into Remission
I figured this was some waggish editorializing on the part of the submitter. Regarding the content, the propagation of uncertainties is pretty sweet, I'd like to see that everywhere. So many questions though, like how it interacts with piecewise models, or functions that map from a continuous to a categorical space. Presumably they have a clever answer. (Possibly I haven't read far enough.)
"(I find it sad because to me it’s turned a serious movement for which very brave women had to fight hard into a joke.)"

What you're seeing there is an effect of the internet, not an effect of shifts in feminist movements. The internet gives everyone a place to speak which is great but the loudest/most astonishing/most disruptive voices are the ones that come out on top. Not the majority, not the thoughtful, not the ones who take action, not the voices who would like to have a conversation. If you dive past the surface I don't think you'd find modern feminism a joke and think that it has grown and matured. But I'm just one opinion
Amazon is being smart.

They know the Chinese will steal every bit of IP/Technology they can, and then once they've extracted all the juice they'll create market conditions that make it impossible for the foreign company to remain successful.

China has been running this program on everyone since they started with the Communist/Open market concept. It's just amazing that companies still haven't caught on. The lure of big money blinds the greedy.
Anybody on HN using Wolfram/Mathematica at work? It seems like a massive tower of math software (possibly larger than MATLAB even), but I've been a bit daunted to ever get into it. I have no idea if it's usable for anything outside of academic research.
>Why the hurdles are set high? I don't believe you have, to be honest.

And I agree with that. Those standards should be high. The problem is that they seem to be so high as to make it impossible when looking at actual policies of West-coast municipalities.

>Well, I haven't said that, you're replying to a strawman.

I am really trying to understand what the standard is that you're advocating for because thus far it seems like it should never be the case that a homeless person with a mental illness is institutionalized.

>It seems that some people have a personal vendetta against homeless people, or otherwise I can't explain that behaviour.

That is an unfair assessment and you know it. The fundamental disagreement is that because we're talking about people who cannot make decisions because of debilitating mental illness some of us argue that therefore we should make certain decisions for them - one of which is, to provide them with care in a better setting than a tent-city. We're not talking about incarcerating or institutionalizing a 20-something that decides to live in a van.

Have you actually done any work with homeless? The face of homelessness is the face of drug addiction and/or debilitating mental illness. I suspect that there are people who still view homelessness in light of great depression where the homeless where those of sound mind simply seeking work, or run into some bad luck, and not have enough money to pay for housing. This is not the reality of homelessness in our society.

>At least, I seriously doubt that the same people would be willing to suggest that their mother or their wife should get locked up in a mental ward against their will if they happen to get ill from schizophrenia

Are you serious? It isn't even close. I would absolutely want my loved one to get the care they need instead of languishing in the streets. This isn't a choice between an individual living in a nice apartment with family and friends being around the corner to take care of their needs, and a government mental institution. This is a choice between being in a filthy, dangerous tent-city exposed to the elements or a government mental institution. It is a no-brainer. How could you think otherwise???!?!?

Maybe it is the specific handicap that you're objecting to. Maybe you think you can be a functional schizophrenic to the extent that you can choose to live in a tent-city in filth and therefore that right should be respected.

But what about others? What about someone suffering from Alzheimer's or dementia - when those people wind up homeless, is it OK to institutionalize them??? Or still not?

I'm really struggling to understand your standard here, because it's easy to say that every individual has a fundamental right not to be 'locked up' (as you put it), but then I don't know how you square that with realities on the ground that these people end up in atrocious circumstances.

Could Hawaii Be Paradise for Hydrogen-Powered Public Transit?
As long as the US government exists and has taxing authority, the general fund will survive and be able to support paying back special issues securities [1] that were provided to Social Security. You can't invest the same way as Vanguard and Blackrock at nation state scale (ie "let's throw it all in a three fund/target date fund and call it a day"), although the Bank of Japan is going to be a pioneer in acquiring and distributing the gains from public companies in Japan [2] due to their demographic situation (which all first world countries will eventually transition through).

I would agree there are lots of liabilities (somewhere between single and triple digital trillions) we should start paying back now versus later though, before the debt service becomes unmanageable and we steal from savers by inflating the debt away, but this is a policy issue. We must stop kicking the can down the road, as a society, as a country, and as a species.

Yeah. Python is dead easy to debug via pdb.

If you don’t want to go CLI-debugging both VSCode and Emacs have more integrated, in-editor options.

Many bugs can be isolated and reproduced in unit-tests. That’s just a click away from being debuggable inside a real debugger. Why use anything but that?

To me, not using a debugger to debug seems kinda crazy.
Lawyers do not call the shots, clients do. So if a client wants to take a losing battle to court a typical lawyer will caution them but will not hand in their commission.
True, although there's the choice by the customer to use cash or their card, for the same price and product in return.

Agreed: compile-time optimization is a pretty good pitch. Rust and Typescript and Haskell have done all the PR necessary for this pitch; you have a prepared audience.
regarding their familial bonds, they are one of three mammals to undergo menopause, the other two being humans and pilot whales. since orca pods are matriarchal, this further indicates strong bonds and the fact that the older female orcas retire from reproduction duties to share that with the younger females but maintain their leadership roles rather than just dying.

Ever meet any consultants? I got 2 in my family and 1 of them takes 2 flights per week and the other takes 3-6 flights per week. Add in the hotel costs and their businesses expenses are almost certainly more than these workers taking short 90 mile flights.
It's automatically constructive.

Algorithms can be enumerated. Proofs can be enumerated. For any formalized problem Q in NP, you can always simply enumerate algorithms A and candidate proofs P until you stumble on a pair (A, P) where P is a proof that A answers Q in polynomial time.

If P=NP, this first step takes constant time (long but independent on the input).

If P!=NP, this first step takes forever.

In other words, if you have a non-constructive proof that P=NP, just make “search for the polynomial algorithm” the first step of the algorithm, and now you have a constructive proof.
I disagree, slightly. A setter (or any method, for that matter) has to keep the object in a consistent state. If it can't set that one field without having to change others, then it has to change others.

Now, if you want to argue that an object probably shouldn't be written in the way that such things are necessary, you're probably right. And if you want to argue that it should "just set the one field in spirit" (that is, that it should do what it has to to set the field, but not do unrelated things), I would definitely agree with you. But it's not quite as simple as "only ever just set the one field".
The "Spiroplasma triggering cascade of prions" theory from Frank Bastian is pretty interesting.

Okay, but my summaries don't do it justice. Unfortunately for those not there for the events, it is difficult to communicate what it is like. Imagine the human time wasted when dozens of people reply "oh honey don't get so upset, it's okay, that's not what the report says, here's a link" etc. The number of human-hours wasted with good-intentioned people trying to make the bots feel better is a sad sad sad thought ....so much time wasted.

They also talk to each other, creating super confusion about who is real and who is not. Maybe those responses are written by bots too, to make us think some are real?

The sheer quantity of lies, especially lies that have nothing to do with the topic at all, leads me to believe the aim is a lot more than "to divide". The aim is also to disinform and to waste time of good people, who could be doing more important things but now feel they have to stop the spread of lies.

I apologize for my sample being incomplete and the summaries not sufficient. You really have to be there in the trenches seeing it happen. Check the next big news megathreads and you'll see it.

100s of comments per minute, many of them fraudulent and full of lies. You can go there and pick apart the details yourself to come to your own conclusions about it.

But you have to go there live - they delete their comments so rapidly that future study of the events is very difficult.
The indemnification bit is pretty much testimony to the fact that Mozilla also realizes the abuse potential of 'Send', but it may not work out well for them if they end up as the defendant in some lawsuit and the party breaking the TOS is penniless.
It's important to keep in mind that current workers always are the ones supporting current retirees. It doesn't matter if it's through taxes in a pay-as-you-go system like Social Security, or through the various investments a fully funded account would own. At the net macroeconomic level, workers make stuff and a portion of that gets redirected to taxes, debt repayment, and return-on-capital that non-workers then consume.

In other words, GenX getting squeezed by debt payments and cost-of-living etc isn't something that comes ex nihilo. It's deeply related to the demographic situation - large number of long-lived Baby Boomers compared to the demographic makeup of prior generations.
That's capitalism, baby.

Ask HN: Engineers of HN, which tools and tech help your computer productivity?
Hi engineers of HN, I’m interested in building software to help boost your productivity, particularly when using your computer.

Therefore, I was wanting to ask the two following questions.

If I get enough answers back, I’d like to write this up into an article, which I will post back to HN once done. You are welcome to answer the questions in the comments below, or using the Google Form I’ve set up here, whichever you’d prefer: https://forms.gle/BQTbdYbjcNhzUVuD9

Question 1: It is my assumption that there are lots of repetitive keyboard actions you have to do in your day-to-day, both with highly specialised engineering software (database management, CAD, fluid modelling, stress analysis) and also when working with reports, spreadsheets and email.

For example, changing snap sizes in AutoCAD or formatting reports in Word. Is this an accurate assumption or do you generally find no repetitive keyboard actions in your computer work? Specific examples of the tasks and the software it occurs in would be excellent!

Question 2: If the above assumption is true, how do you overcome this repetitive computer work? Do you script your own macros, do you have a USB gadget to automate some of the process or do you use some existing software?
Of course, you may do none of these and just get on with it – that’s a perfectly valid answer.

Thank you for your insight, if you’re interested in the software I’m developing, you can see what it’s about here: http://numpadsuperpowers.com

Cheers,
Robin
So I've had an Impossible burger (from my company cafeteria), but it was probably over-cooked.

Does anyone know where I could taste-test a Beyond burger vs. Impossible burger?

Definitely interested in this space as it's one of the surefire ways we reduce both energy and water, and I have family who are veggie and this makes it easier for me to connect with them.
Haha this is incredible. I love the Economist and have had a subscription for years, but this is spot on.
Clearly, he is simply a great human.
Agreed. It sounds like a case of "this looks good, let's follow their format" and revising words/paragraphs just enough so you won't be blamed for plagiarism. The API parameters are very generic so it shouldn't be considered cloning.
Ask HN: Cheaper alternative to productboard? (A trello for product design)
I really liked using the design of productboard, which is task-management web SAAS.

So well done for them.

However, the pay-plan is too expensive for us as bootstrappers ($50/month/user, looks like it is targeted at larger corporations).

Can someone recommend similar products ?

I had a quick go at Node.js and was surprised to find some interesting things. In particular I found the event model and the stream API rather nice. I have no idea how it's like to maintain a real-world code base though. Libraries seem to have very narrow scopes which means managing a lot of dependencies and that might be painful in the long run.
Yes, and the headline writer knows this. If the title was "Orcas Make Great White Sharks Flee in Fear", most of us would have nodded and moved on. To be fair, that was an interesting article, clickbait title notwithstanding.
Not a vegetarian here, but I'm really excited about companies and products in this space. There's a lot of very poor quality meat out there that can easily be substituted by these products for cost, nutrition and environmental reasons. The way I describe the Impossible Burger to friends that haven't tried it is "If I invited you to a BBQ with decent store-brand frozen patties and randomly inserted Impossible patties, you probably wouldn't notice".

I have a general prediction about these products though: I think they'll follow the broad development of art and games. Initially they will work very very hard to produce something that is as close to meat as possible, just like gaming worked very hard at photo-realism for many many years. But once they reach close enough, people will actually get bored and new and more interesting meat-like products, which traditional meat could never produce, much the same way gaming gave up photo-realism and many hit games started taking on more artistic qualities.

Both indebtedness and the low yield of retirement savings are related - they're the macroeconomic effects necessary for current workers to consume a smaller share of their current productivity, leaving a larger share behind for non-workers.
Because people and companies who do this add no value to society. They are parasites.
Seems to me the answer to this is a sliding scale of compensation that rises for consistently valid responses and decays to zero for these sorts. Of course, this can be gamed as well, but it seems like everything's a Red Queen's Race these days so the only way to avoid^H^H^H^H^Hminimize one's losses is to race.
