Indeed. Juul hasn't made any health claims so the clickbait title that they are copying big tobacco's playbook (when they are big tobacco now) is kind of silly.

It was also odd to read Juul's statements that they are an "alternative" for adult smokers but not intended as a cessation device. So they're for people who want to smoke cigs and Juul? That seems strange. They're trying to fit themselves into a regulatory niche and not be seen as a quit device nor as smoking. That's kind of impossible.

Okay, then lets multiply Indian prices by 8.

Someone up the thread quoted this:

>For 6 dollars 50 cents, you get 1.5 GB/day for 91 days.

Where in the US can I get 1.5GB/day for 91 days for $52 ?

Before someone talks about congestion, this is India, with 1.3 Billion people and "third world" infrastructure. If that kind of bandwidth can be provided to that many folks where people are routinely using it to watch TV channels (see Jio TV), why can't we do it here? I think congestion and data caps are just excuses to wring more money.

They had the advantage that they did not have any legacy systems to take care off. All the other operators have to take care of 2G and 3G network supporting infra along with putting in investment for 4G.
So, Jio had a lot of money to use to grab the customers by offering free deals. They applied the approach of cannibalistic business growth.
Also, there network is not good anymore now, as the subscriber base has grown. I have seen cross connects happening which used to happen in the days of landlines.
Cross-connect, not sure if all know it by the same name, is when you call a number and you get connected to some other number. I have never faced this with other providers like Airtel, Idea and Vodafone in 13+ years of mobile phone usage.
Jio is now in the same league as others, and is actually bad at the customer front level when compared to Airtel and Vodafone+Idea.
This is from my own experience and of those in the close circle.
This is one of the big reasons why Amazon wins. For most products, you look at site X vs Amazon for price because shipping is well known. It's either prime or free slow-boat.

I cannot make myself believe in God, particularly, in God who notices and interferes, and dedicate myself to him; and I think it is the problem for many of us.

Philosophically, Western society moved beyond good and evil, desecrated Christianity, questioned the words of God, and Nietzsche nailed it.

Recently, I read the biography of Rockefeller by Chernow. It was stunning how his strong faith drove and motivated him. He thought he was blessed by God to build his business, he must fulfill this mission, and it justified some questionable actions he did.
In Germany it seems you can not have a bank account and sign up for mobile service (have mobile phone contract) if you're under 18. This does not make sense, kids need to be able to manage money and have their own phone earlier.
In terms of neural networks that doesn't seem so strange.

Neural networks can "overfit" and behave like a hash table instead of generalizing.

One method of "regularization" is putting in a score that represents network complexity, information content, etc. and then adding it against the reward function.

If that's true then it might speak to more than just entertainment consumption. It would mirror a trend in other areas like social media where before you would have long form blogs that went to facebook posts and now to shorter tweets.

Of course, the vast majority of short films at festivals etc. make very little, if any, money and they're rarely seen outside of extreme film buffs. Getting an audience through YouTube and monetizing it to at least some degree is probably a win.

I'm from India. I can confirm this. It's because unlimited LTE data costs about rs700 per month or 10 dollars. It can be spotty at times - but it works. Mobile is by far the most used form factor. Search for "Jio" on your app store and you'll see a variety of apps like JioTV, JioCinema, JioNews etc.. That means free news, live tv and movies all for the price of a cell phone subscription. Jio is the name of the service provider. No surprise India has the highest data use - there's almost no need to buy a TV anymore to watch content. You could also imagine why it might be hard for Netflix, Spotify and Prime movies to compete in India - because those services are bundled out of the box (no secret pay walls and great quality) for the price of your cell service. The mobile revolution in India wasn't about the phone - it was about access to fast mobile data. India has the lead on this one. We're paying too much in America.
I've experimented with this. It is difficult to measure if I'm giving away money unnecessarily or completing a sale I'd otherwise miss. Good point though.
I think you meant “cohesion” not coercion.

But also, while “cultural Christianity,” the idea that everyone is a Christian and follows some pseudo-Christian values has mostly gone away, actual religion (of many varieties) is alive and well.

You can still move almost anywhere and find a Catholic Church that is pretty consistent around the world, and likewise many other denominations.

Speaking of my own experience in non-denominational Christian churches from here down:

The people in them would probably be a lot less like-minded than you would expect. The church (collectively, even if not every congregation) is wildly diverse, and is one of the few places you can still go and build relationships with people from all different income brackets, ethnicities, jobs, etc.

Lastly, you don’t need to believe in God (or Jesus) to attend and be welcomed in. Not everyone there does, and actually in most churches they’d be very interested to talk with you and hear why you’re there etc. Yes, they will teach you about their beliefs, but they’re quite simple, as summarized by Jesus himself in “the great commandment”: love God, and love your neighbor.

While all believers wrestle with what God is and what it would mean to love God, the focus is largely on the second commandment - love your neighbor as yourself. That, choosing a life where you genuinely try to support and take care of the people around you, is a pretty good way to live.

Now, I expect some HN hate for posting this. I don’t mean to claim that everyone who has ever called themselves a Christian lives as described above — I myself have been disgusted by the behavior of people who claimed Christian slogans or shove a few bible verses on poster boards and then twisted them for political purposes, completely failing to follow the actual teachings of Christianity in the process. Bad churches and misguided church-goers exist in every religion, unfortunately (Christ himself often called this out). You have to think critically, never follow anything blindly. And I think that “cultural religion,” where the mainstream state government adopts the trappings of a religion and then uses it as a cudgel to enforce their agenda has been quite harmful. My point in posting this is not to gloss over any of that.

Rather, my point is that spiritual life (of many different traditions) is still alive and well among thoughtful, caring, and intellectual people. If approached with an open mind you might be shocked at how pragmatic they are, and how open they are to deep skeptics who are more interested in how to have a meaningful life here on earth than whether or not anything beyond that exists. In fact, many of them fit that description themselves.

> Maybe the biggest problem with Hollywood is summed by one sentence in the AI article I referenced: “[AI analysis] takes a lot of the risk out of what I do.”

I think that sums up the problem with AI in general.

The real story so far of "AI" is about human desire to avoid responsibility for their actions. It is about saying "the magic box said you were a terrorist, nothing I can do about it" or, in this case, "The magic box said it should make a lot of money, I dunno what happened."

It is about the limited liability corporation gaining the ability to act semi-autonomously, with the profits going to the humans and the blame going to the machine.

The flip side to the public being surveilled, is the police and other organs of the state being hidden.

Think of the difference between the Vietnam war and the iraq war; during the Vietnam war the press was allowed to take full color images of the whole conflict, from the inside, showing the burning monks and children and so forth. In the Iraq war, we got a few blurry pictures from Wikileaks and look what happened to Assange. From the point of view of the state, us seeing what they are doing is a problem to be corrected, nothing more. And likewise if they don’t have total surveillance of us, it’s a problem to be solved.

I'm not talking about some particular conception of God, but there seem to be decent philosophical and scientific reasons to believe that there is a creative agency responsible for our universe. Furthermore, this agency seems to have taken particular care for our wellbeing.

We've got to separate the question of existence from the question of nature. That God exists seems very evident from all we know. What God's nature is is more of a question mark, and we should not let this question mark about nature obviate what we know about existence.

And belief in God is not a panacea, people do horrible things in the name of God, and perhaps even more horrible things in the absence. However, people have done very great things, perhaps the greatest things, in the name of God. So there is that, too.

Also, in regards to your specific purpose you mention in the other thread of eliminating physical suffering, it seems Christianity in particular has done the most throughout history of eliminating physical suffering. Thus, insofar as your goal is to eliminate suffering, Christianity seems to be the most effective platform to do so.

I doubt that's the case. Everything they've been doing with WSL is precisely to keep you inside the Windows OS. It doesn't make sense to go the other way and give you a reason to use Linux instead.
Or the overhead of running an entire other OS.
Electric motors in their specs usually have an entry specifying a 30s or one minute window during which the motor can operate at around twice the power without damage.

In this state the motor cannot maintain temperature, so going beyond that time window will shorten its lifespan or cause damage if continued.

Hobbyst EVs often take advantage of this by having a small motor and overloading it when accelerating.
I had assumed that because 64-bit wine did the “Program Files (x86)” thing, it ran 32-bit Windows apps in a 64-bit process. But now that I think about it, that doesn't make sense.

WINE needs kernel and userland support for running 32-bit x86 code unless it adds an emulator, because WINE actually loads the Windows executable's binary code into the current process (I assume exec() is a good comparison?) together with OS shared libraries. Maybe relevant for understanding this: https://wiki.winehq.org/Wine_Developer%27s_Guide/Kernel_modu...
I'm surprised that nobody's made an open source clone, since it's a long-standing app, apparently better than the available alternatives, and fundamentally IRC just isn't that hard.
That's big news. It looks like if Wine is forced to emulate the CPU, the few benefits it has over a VM would be negated.
That was what WSL v1 was, literally.

WSL v2 is an actual linux kernel. They're moving in the opposite direction.

Anyway, comparing train prices to an electric car probably isn't the model that the pricing is based on.

Many years ago, I actually complained to my MP that it was cheaper for one person to drive a not-cheap car (<30mpg) than take a pre-booked off-peak train. The response (from a researcher at the DoT) disagreed, and showed that after incorporating amortised insurance, road tax, depreciation, and maintenance cost, it was comparable. But of course this was for a single traveller; for two or more travellers in the same car, there was no additional cost.

Anyway, it's not surprising that partial costs of an electric car are far lower than taking the train.

Television is host to a few different categories of media that should be considered separately. Miniserieses, episodic character shows, serial stories, and sports will continue to find audiences no matter the platform, because the experiences aren't necessarily fungible (though at the limit that platform could be "piracy"). Fungible experiences like TV news networks and one-step-above-white-noise daytime television are dead on their feet, long since replaced among younger demographics by free content on the internet. The future of TV is going to be difficult-to-replace high-effort content like HBO, whereas channels stuffed with low-effort content are going to be crushed under heel by the convenience and momentum of YouTube. The makeup of cable packages is going to have to radically shift to account for the fact that the already-subsidized long-tail channels are going to continue to lose their audience, likely moving cable towards a more a la cart model that will be increasingly hard to convincingly differentiate from services like Hulu or Netflix, and will (one hopes) eventually transition to no longer demanding a distinct cable or satellite connection due to lack of justification (though of course plenty of people already get their internet over cable infrastructure, and that won't change).
Whatever the grammatical classification of these words though, "ghjattu-volpe" (like French "chat-renard") would clearly be translated as "fox-cat" into English. In both cases, even though "fox" might not be technically an adjective, it's functionally a mere modifier for "cat".

Probably times - not booking first class. I'm travelling again in a few months, but flying, and my flights from Edi to London city are £70 return. My total journey time door to door will be 3:30 (as I happen to be heading to the right part of London for City airport to make sense) and my bus to/from the airport in Edinburgh will cost me £7.50.

I've just checked trainline and for the same dates, a train is 4hours 20, will cost £145 for "super off peak single" - and if I'm not careful booking it I'll be standing for that trip. In my case this time I'll also need to get another train from Liverpool St to east london, which is 2 more trains and an extra 30 minutes each way.

I'd much rather take the train, but the costs are often stacked against trains in favour of flying.
> if a plane crashes there's a good chance everyone dies anyway

That's actually not the case. Overall your odds of surviving an accident in a plane are something like 95%. Still above 50% for "serious" incidents. Sure, if the plane drills the ground everyone is going to die, but planes crash somewhat regularly with most/all surviving.

For games, give Lutris a try.

For years, I've been reluctant to use Wine wrappers like PlayOnLinux, for no reason other than I don't like wrappers. I always ended up getting everything working with bare Wine, but at the cost of long hours (sometimes even days) of experiments.

I've started using Lutris a few months ago (I gave up on getting Wine and DXVK play well together) and, well, that's a life changing experience so far: everything works out of the box. I has taken all the fun out of Wine configuration for me ;)

by explicitly clearing it when an operation is finished.

byte[] key = generateKey();
try
{

}
finally
{

}

once the operation finishes, the memory is cleared (and possibly subject to gc)

the problem is that some java classes, for instance BigInteger, are not designed for cryptographic operations - it's underlying arrays are not easily accessible (save for reflection).
