In a broader sense, sure. But I've witnessed very little of that here, which is mostly self moderated with a nudge from the admins. I've noticed this also in other smallish niche communities.

Reddit has become so mainstream that everyone has a place. I think the big problems arise in the more general subs where all the miscreants from the web intersect. Same with YouTube, or any large community really. No amount of censorship or moderation can solve this, it's a problem for any sufficiently large userbase. If a solution can exist is doubtful, even.
Cryonics involves vitrification, not freezing. Ice crystals do no damage if they never form in the first place.

Now the method of achieving vitrification involves pumping the body full of toxic antifreeze. But in principle it's easier to flush the antifreeze out when warming than to reverse ice crystal damage, though the techniques have not yet been worked out.

Thankfully it's not necessary for the reversal procedure to exist now for cryonics to be successfully used in preservation for the future.
I think you mean cryonics, not cryogenics.

In other words: They overreacted, possibly biased by those in charge.
The WWW kinda shows that, empirically, having a small set of verbs is a pretty darn good idea. CORBA and most call/return programming has shown that having to invent new verbs all the time ( getX(), getY(), getTopLeftCorner() ...) gets old really fast.

The other thing a common set of verbs gets you is generic endpoints and, even more interesting, generic intermediaries.

My approach is to let resource-y things be resource-y, and let verb-y things be verb-y. After all, language has nouns and adjectives and verbs, maybe there is a good reason for this diversity?

So

var:myhome/doorbell ring.

(Although I am highly skeptical of IoT, so somewhat wary of such an example).

If you wanted to model this in a more resource-y way, you could doL

var:/myhome/doorbell/ringing := true.
// delay
var:/myhome/doorbell/ringing := false.

That would also get you the ability to read the status of the doorbell.

> I'm also convinced nobody actually knows what "REST" means

Considering REST is the basis of the WWW, the largest and arguably most successful information system of all time, I would say (a) most people understand it "well enough" to work with it and (b) if we don't understand it, it behooves us to make an effort to do so.

Because it's not like there haven't been other attempts to build something like the WWW, they just failed miserably.
The size matters significantly for this. Much larger and it becomes difficult to remove the heat throughout fast enough to do a flash freeze.

There is zero chance that a human pumped full of antifreeze today will ever be successfully revised. Cryonics is a total scam by hucksters preying on desperate idiots.

And don't bother telling me that it's worth doing if there's even a tiny chance. The chance is exactly 0, and those resources are better spent on the living.
If you want to snack on some Futhark code along with the docs, the Advent of Code solutions (linked from https://futhark-lang.org/blog/2018-12-25-futhark-0.8.1-relea...) might be a good place to start. I liked them because they include problems that are not good fit for Futhark, so it documents how to think about the applicability as well.

Politics - Malaysia has a healthier democracy than the United States and is currently undergoing massive anti corruption reforms.

Healthcare - I receive better and more affordable healthcare here than I ever did in the US. Visiting a DR costs $10 out of pocket and most medications are in the $5-$20 range. I recently underwent extensive hyperbaric therapy and it cost me less than $200. The same treatment in the US would have been near $10000. I also have insurance, but I am yet to actually need to dip into it.

Personal Safety - I feel safer wandering around KL at night than I ever did LA or SF. On the island where I live I don't even have a lock on my door.

Sharia Law - Malaysia is a secular society. In areas where Sharia law is in effect it only applies to Muslims, and even then it can be appealed in the courts. Malaysia is a very mixed society that has learned to respect all races and religions, wish I could say the same for the US.

Its sad because you are eliminating one of the travel gems of the world based on false assumptions.

It's something that felt right in COBOL (and COBOL rarely feels right in this day and age). The file IO is record based at the core, so opening a file is basically a crude (npi) sql statement. It makes a lot of tiny things simpler IMO.
The barrier of entry for someone to go and write counter-productive / aggressive / abrasive comments online is very low now.

In the past you had to have half a brain to even be online. I don't mean internet connection wise, I mean to set it up and find stuff.

What scares me the most is "justice by social media". People felt wrong doing against them burning torches and calling for pitchforks online, instead of getting a lawyer and getting justice. It's a lot easier, but it then snowballs into a raging fury of everyone strongly or mildly related to the issue chiming in, demanding justice. Then is justice served? no.
I work with these people and it happens all the time. It's not irrational at all. Indian posts are very awful right now.
I use Firefox, the other dev uses Internet Explorer, and the last dev uses Chrome. All kidding (but not kidding) aside. We’ve had luck with Selenium. As for the platforms, we actually have a Mac Mini, 2012 MBP, and two iPads that we use for testing Safari and Safari Mobile. Unfortunately that part is mostly manual since few of our customers use Safari.
Oh that’s weird, because it totally worked for me with “butts” as a euphemism for “people”, as in “butt-in-seat time” — relying on a third-party service is essentially relying on third party butts (i.e. people), and your data is only accessible through those people, whom you don’t control.

And then “your data is in my butt” was just a play on that.

I disagree. Kids dreaming of becoming a professional gamer is no different than the aspirations to become a pro athlete over the last few decades. I went to schools with far too many pro baseball or pro football hopefuls. Kids train their asses off to barely play college ball.
My flight from New York to KL cost less than my flight from Orlando to NY.

Most Malaysians also speak English very well, especially compared to the rest of SE Asia.

I have spoken to Americans back home who couldn't even point out Malaysia on a map, and even more who just write it off as a "Muslim country" despite it being secular and very diverse.

I would say it has less to do with accessibility, and more to do with Americans being skittish travelers who have been brainwashed into thinking that any country with a couple Muslims is a scary place.
If they're importing a large amount of their food from Europe as the article states they very well can lower the cost by producing it locally. Even if they're less efficient than the Europeans in doing so.

Bingo, have you been?
You can basically say that anyone living 500 years ago would say "there is zero chance" that what we take for granted today exists at all. Look at the technological achievements of even the past 50 years, most of it could hardly be predicted.
In that aspect I wouldn't consider it to be a bubble, but just a subsidized product. What I think is silly is that LAN tournaments that used to be a natural extension of other events to reduce overall costs have turned into the same scheme as boxing/wrestling promotions. The game publisher's investments really go all the way back to the fact that the traditional tournament scenes from back in the day (kespa, wcg, etc) didn't kick anything back up to the developers and could keep ticket sales/sponsorship costs. Now they subsidize that market so they have some aspect of control and to also get their piece through various monetization schemes.

The reason why I suggest it's similar to boxing/wrestling is that really all you need to get into the market and trying to create an event is charisma, connections, and time to pull off a single event. It's not like there is an overarching master event planner for all events and leagues, it's a much more loose market and you may be able to throw a few big promotions a year. It's not too different than putting on an industry event like a home show, IT expo, or any other kind of weird infrequent event. Since the actual profits for those kind of events are slim at best people cut corners and be exploitative in all sorts of fun ways.

The question is always just going to be when are the subsidies/sponsorships are going to stop. A cynical part of me feels like there are a lot of people on the inside of corporations writing sponsorship checks are driven by people who are fans of esports as well- just the same as people who write checks for golfers or NASCAR.

Would you need to feed nutrients people during hibernation or is that a state of extrenely low metabolism?
True, but they won't pay $15/month x 5 different services.

Netflix is already iffy in terms of content/quality, without some blockbusters, then it's really kind of b-films and bad tv, the occasional great show.

Disney et. al. may not produce enough content to warrant $15 themselves.

It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

They should take note however, that we are 'done' with commercials.
There are industries using Lithium-ion batteries with insane margins (tools for example). Perhaps battery manufacturers are fighting commodification and subsequent price drop.

On the other hand I wouldnt be surprised if Panasonic was in talks with Honda/Toyota about the future, and preparing to exit Tesla deal. Same for Samsung and Hyundai/Kia.
The poster before you is presumably talking about physical limitations of the current measurement methods which leads to very high noise. I doubt machine learning can overcome that.
Some things, very few things are genuinely wanted and we value them all along.

The rest that follows, not so much. Wanting to want is the fun, not getting what you want. Once you have it, you want something else, then the pursuit of wanting it.

It isn't necessarily though. A lot of people are using Spago (https://github.com/spacchetti/spago). Bower is fine though for how they're using it. Often times it'd kill for the ability to relink libraries locally like bower lets you do in Elm while working through a PR of an external library for my use-case.
It might be an unpopular opinion, but I wonder if reading only, and only fantasy and fiction makes people lose their grip on reality.
About 30 years ago, my grandma had her entire aortic arch and then some more of the aorta itself replaced in a daring procedure. (I guess one can still call it as such today).

Notably, her body was cooled down significantly to reduce her metabolic rate down to nothing.

She survived several years, although she never quite recovered fully after that...
If actual usage reflected front page position we’d all be talking about C, C#, JAVA or PHP.

I follow a few job agents because I do part time work as an examiner for applied CS students, and I occasionally advice on what languages they should teach to make sure their students are job ready, and nothing has really changed for a decade. Python demand is really the only area that has seen a real increase, but not for developers as you need some sort of degree in either statistics or math to get the ML/BI jobs.

It’s always a little sad to see students who spend a lot of time buying into the hype and building their final projects in something like Rust or Go and before that node/express. Because they’ll have a much harder time finding a job than the ones who didn’t do that. Not because learning Rust is bad, but because it’s safer (and cheaper) to chose their competition and it’s not like there is really a lack of freshly educated developers anymore.

One thing that shocked me is they breeding "giant rats" (Cricetomys gambianus). These are known vectors of monkeypox. Also, snails usually carry very harmful parasites to both humans and plants.
I've always used Uber because I've assumed that it's cheaper than Lyft and other rideshare services. I just realized I have no idea how much it is compared to others. Does anyone have a formal comparison up online?
My takeaway: being born poor in Denmark is roughly equal to having a million dollars in the US. You can trust that your basic needs will be met and pursue your interests.

I forgot where I read the article, but someone mentioned that the Softbank strategy seems to be to geared towards having 2 major players in ridesharing/delivery in each market. The idea was that when these companies go public, they will stop subsidizing rides as much in order to show profit, and will become viable businesses.

Because these companies have a new war chest of money, if any new upstarts come into the game, they can have a short-term price war to drive these players out. The US seems to be the first market where this strategy will play out.
I can't see a global recession from this - just one in China and Australia which is already in one.

Somebody uploaded the entire The Queen's Corgi on YouTube in pristine 720p quality (they must have had access to a BluRay to get this quality) and it's not even out in the USA yet (I am not even sure it'll even be released at all). No tricks, no visual artefacts to hide it, nothing. It's been up since May 28 and apparently noone cares.

> The “us” of 20 years ago would wonder WTF were arguing about and pay out the nose for these capabilities.

Maybe 20 years ago but not for long. In 2001 we had the xvid codec and boy, did movie piracy take off with xvid compressing DVDs to CDs. A slower burner already was under 100 USD and you needed a CD player anyways http://ixbtlabs.com/articles/news01m08/index.html also some combined DVD - CD-RW units were below 180 USD: https://books.google.ca/books?id=3uyMhR-uNRwC&pg=PA179&lpg=P.... Blank disks were cheap -- 30 cents wholesale. Pirated movies and TV collections were not only on CD-R disks but hard disks as well, in 2002 we had 200GB disks https://www.storagereview.com/articles/200210/20021018WD2000...

Online P2P networking also skyrocketed at this time. In 2001 we had eDonkey2000 with ShareReactor and DC++ for the Direct Connect network. In 2003, Demonoid and Pirate Bay launches.
I suspect pharma companies and doctors have settled on the term "chemical imbalance" so they have something to tell patients that is simple enough to understand but medical-sounding enough to accept.

Also, general physicians have to be across such a vast range of ailments and treatment options, they don't have much ability to deeply understand the issues themselves.

I'm not one for any great conspiracy behind this.

For my own reasons I've researched the topic deeply, and I agree that the term "chemical imbalance" is fairly shaky, but I can accept a fairly innocent explanation for why it's come to be.

whats your background? And what sort of job are you looking to get from it?

If you want to be an actual scientist then do something thats actually scientific: elaborate an experiment design, collect your own data, analyse it and draw conclusions from it.

For example, what’s the relationship between crime in San Francisco and Starbucks locations? How’s the relationship conditioned on the weather? Does the size of the parking lot adjacent to Starbucks meaningfully effect crime independent of location?

I’m a little biased but there are too many script kiddies. “Scientists” that copy/paste scripts and “analyse” by calling APIs, and don’t know how anything works. Data science ala Kaggle.

hn also seems to be more accepting of opinions which people disagree with. Here it seems to lead more to a civil debate about why you are wrong, whereas on reddit you would more often than not get downvoted and called names.
Uber's competition is quickly growing and people is realizing is just a matter of downloading an app and you get cheaper alternative, in Latin America a service called beat is giving cheaper car rides, a service called pickup is usin motorbikes instead of cars and is cheaper for both driver and users, all in all Uber doesn't have a leg to stand on and is becoming clear all it is is piramid scheme in a gigantic scale.
Mmmm... unlikely. Here is where the growth helps. More drivers => more passengers => more productive use of car miles. The more time where a passenger is in the car the better, and when you factor in shared rides it gets better. Even if you factor in competition by "branding" as they say, the increase in growth is a benefit even if promotions are scaled back. If there is any place you will see increases in prices, it will probably be medium sized cities where Uber/Lyft have not achieved a great driver count and don't care to invest as much anymore.

Otherwise I would be surprised to see any major metropolitan areas ever be more expensive in the future than they are now.
> The Note closes by considering two potential regimes for addressing Amazon’s power: restoring traditional antitrust and competition policy principles or applying common carrier obligations and duties.

The common carrier approach always seemed like the most rational way to address problems like this. One of the ways companies like Amazon dominate markets is by offering the best products/services. I don’t think there’s an effective way to regulate that away. But if they’re forced to offer their services as common carriers, then the risks of them actually monopolizing their position is greatly reduced.

It also drives people away and reduces the viewers making it less attractive as a platform without piracy. That increases the cost as stars prefer a larger platform money being equal.
