This is false. Homeless people without jobs have just as much time as billionaires without jobs. Guess which ones are considered wealthy.
> Are houses increasing cost due to increase in features?

Yes. The limited resource is land, so to maximize profit, developers either have to pack in more units (a strategy often restricted by zoning), or pack as much house onto the same property as possible. The size of stand-alone houses has been steadily growing. It's up by more than 2.5 times since the 50s. [1] And then there are the modern features which used to be considered high-end but are becoming standard. Check the growth in the size of refrigerators, for example, or the number of homes that have multiple fridges/freezers.

Why wouldn't they feel pain?

It's such a superior attitude to even consider that only humans could feel pain.

It's also obvious that any complex organism feels pain... It the most basic evolutionary protection mechanism. Anything that didn't feel pain would soon be evolved out.
Pointing something out about somebody's comment history is not an "attack".

There are many HN users which repeatedly defend dark patterns and the nasty practices of companies and then don't reply or ignore counter-arguments.

It would seem to me that HN should be more concerned with those situations, than those that point the above out in a rather benign way.
A professional writer hopefully takes more effort than an HN comment.
Not necessarily because pronunciation varies substantially across dialects and often also according to prosodic stress and phonetic context. For instance, the word "what" can be pronounced as /wɒt/ /wɒʔ/ /hwɒt/ /wʌt/ /hwʌt/ /wɑːt/ /hwɑːt/ and a few more...

Could it be the other way round and back-looking doesn't really mean 'looking behind you'?

Could 'back' just mean 'further away'? If you move a box further down a storage room, you also move it 'further back', don't you?

If you bring something back, you move it from where you are to where it belongs. "Back up!" means "move away!".

Your back is not just behind you but further away from your front.
Does my computer feel pain when I decrement %eax?
Yeah, I'd tracked that down as well, but one reason to be lenient perhaps is that he was writing before everything was available on YouTube, and was probably just going on memory, which is easy to unintentionally embellish over the years.

There was this guy in Poland, an MD, who figured this exact thing in 60s. He essentially took and modified the damaged liver diet (rich in MCTs mostly) and have it in a series of trials, lightly controlled, vs a plain lower calorie diet, to a bunch of people in sanatoriums. He derived the diet from basic principles and then available dietary tables - being forced into service but the military he had to learn dietetics.

Extremely sick people who could barely walk. The results were pretty resounding, so good they made whole Polish Academy of Sciences at the time recoil and denounce him. He was thought to have committed fraud. They stopped denouncing him repeatedly only in some 2000s.

This was the more correct grandfather of better known Atkins diet. It has some uses. One of them is rapid weight loss, the other is diabetes, hepatitis recovery, a few connective tissue diseases and epilepsy refractory to treatment.
It is driven by explicit testing for ketosis and microelement and vitamin tables.

I had to use a similar excuse in college. I had finally got Gentoo 64bit for the G5 processor working on my Mac Pro when I went back to school. They wanted me to install their security spyware suite to get internet access in the dorms. My response was that I was probably one of a dozen people in the world running that OS build. What antivirus could they give me?

Of course I didn’t tell them it still booted into OS X and I was playing with making the OSes cohabitate better (e.g. shared UID across OS)
Well the inconvenience of having to stop for an extra 30-40 minutes over a journey that basically is going to eat your whole day in any case might be considered a show stopper for some hard core road warriors. But, for normal people, that sounds like an entirely reasonable tradeoff. Especially when you consider that the fuel cost you'll be saving easily pays for a nice motel + dinner. But yes, if you are traveling beyond the range of your EV, you will at some point have to plan a longer break.

When I was a teenager I remade the English alphabet taking freely from the ghost of English past and other Western European languages.

Ended up with, if I recall, about 47-53 distinct “letters”, although it was a flat hierarchy so a, æ, e, and è were all distinct letters from one another for sorting and reference purposes. Part of my motivation was to reduce the character count of individual words by combining digraphs and trigraphs into a single letter… so I could fit more on the Twitter. Secondary was to have one letter to one sound, although I don’t think I covered every sound in English.

When I soured on Twitter, I also lost interest in my modified alphabet, but my main takeaways: remaking the English alphabet from scratch can be done in about an afternoon, including a reference word list to act as a guide for new spellings. Your main problem is the only one that will be literate in your new alphabet is you, not an insurmountable problem in itself, but it’s probably not worth re-educating society for something you put together in an afternoon.

If you want to see a more successful manifestation of an alphabet put together in a way you suggest, try Hangul. It’s flexible enough to adapt to other languages as well.
I don’t want to hate because the article in general is great. But it bothers me tremendously that the author continously refers to the player as ‘they’, ‘their’ etc in order to be gender neutral.

1) it reads like shit
2) screenshots even shows the player char is female?
3) it feels so freaking forced.

I know i am probably downvoted now like hell but I am so sick of this movement to get rid of gender in text. It started with all of this ‘the programmer, he or she ...’, then everything was a ‘she’ (any male coders in modern textbooks anymore?) , and now all are ‘they’...

Call me conservative but I don’t like it. And tech is especially affected...

Microsoft help systems were great back then. Which was good, as there was little online documentation, and what was available was expensive to access with per-minute dial-up fees

Some of the downvotes may be from crypto-programmers' frustrations, too.

I mean, obviously, someone has to code crypto, or else it wouldn't exist. But, whenever you try talking about the topic online -- whether you're doing it professionally or for self-education -- a probably well-meaning chorus of spam comments warn against doing anything.

I suspect that some crypto-folks have given up rebutting the don't-roll-your-own stuff and just down-vote reflexively.

> That only gets harder as address space limits[1] squeeze more and more people onto Carrier Grade NAT and similar workarounds.

Warning: we're awfully close to violent agreement here. I'm saying that the demand for more IPs is primarily for end users needing their first public IP, compared to end users needing public subnets for their devices.

> NAT is only ever about changing addresses (or port) fields in the IP header

Ya, the changing of which has the security benefit of a remote server not receiving it! I suspect you've become too used to responding to "I like NAT because it blocks connections to my network" to read what I've actually written.

> NAT usually makes your local addresses very predictable. Is yours 192.168.[01].[1-4]

Sure, for MACs (and guests) that are listed to receive 192.168 addresses because their treacherous software (eg Android, WebRTC, etc) is likely to turn around and leak it... That is the concern I am talking about here, not my local network being actively probed from outside.

But most substantively I do not agree with the point in your [3], based on relative significance. I believe the overriding dynamic is that serverless software is much harder to fund. Implementing UPnP and NAT punching is trivial compared to developing, polishing, and marketing software for mass adoption. Meanwhile centralized surveillance is lucrative, attracting massive investment.

And don't be confused by the brief popularity blip of end-user hosted websites using DNS, because DNS is a terrible user-facing namespace. It essentially mandates a high availability server standing ready to answer requests for every specific entity. There is no ability to retrieve the latest version of a given object from an untrusted peer.

It might not be that "no one dares say it too loud," it might be that people don't hate it or even (like me) like this work towards rebalancing.

btw being from the UK, "they" singular in text is normal, especially in this case where the gender of the player is unknown, and seeing he/she here would really trip me up (as it does when I read older articles from the US that use "he" arbitrarily). It's a style thing, but one I've always liked as more accurate.

Where would this be significantly different? For T&C to be valid, you'll have to agree to them before using the service. Since you generally can't know, much less agree to, the T&C of a website before using that website, you have a chicken & egg problem where the law tends to come down on "these T&C aren't binding" imho.

You're right about the re-publishing though. Storing is likely a different issue, even browser-caching is storing; iirc there were court decisions in Germany that essentially argued that even having data in memory is creating a copy.

I don't think issue is with browsers, it is with websites getting more and more complicated. It's ironic that people (web dev) who are complaining about browser, are actually root cause of problem.

Quick solution can be if website is trying to act as "app", should only be app, leave web for just reading hypertext and links. Any lightweight browser can handle that.

But again we will have to draw an imaginary line between websites and apps.

I've lived in Sweden and Finland. It's actually the lack of sunlight that is causing issues with solar. The snow is much less of a concern. E.g. Helsinki only gets a few hours of daylight and the sun does not get much above the horizon in the winter months. The reverse is true as well; you get insane amounts of sunlight in the summer months. Luckily there's wind, hydro, wood pellets, and a few other alternatives.

Further south in Germany, Netherlands, etc. Solar is usable throughout the year and quite common. Obviously output in the summer is going to be much better than during the winter.

I've been following this closely. There's no real data on the following:

- Is this happening in other countries? I cannot find really any established diagnoses outside of the US (though some countries have CDC-like pages on it).

- What is the gender breakdown?

- What is the age breakdown? (mean, median, SD)

- What is the geo breakdown? (city vs rural, major geo areas)
You were uncomfortable with textbooks when they used 'she', and against them trying to include you once more with 'they/them'?

So the only acceptable option by this line of thinking is that the default pronoun should be 'he/him'. This attitude seems something a little different from 'conservative'.
The EU's stance is that Galileo is a neutral technology, available to all countries and everyone. At first, EU officials did not want to change their original plans for Galileo, but have since reached the compromise that Galileo is to use a different frequency. This allows the blocking or jamming of either GNSS without affecting the other.
When working as a sub-editor, the use of 'they' really solves a political problem for me that can't be addressed any other way. That said, it is massively misused in the source article, since the player is clearly either female or determined to identify as female - which also solves the problem.
> screenshots even shows the player char is female

The fact that they play a female character does not mean they are female.
The onboard passive hydrogen maser and rubidium clocks are very stable over a few hours. If they were left to run indefinitely, though, their timekeeping would drift, so they need to be synchronized regularly with a network of even more stable ground-based reference clocks. These include active hydrogen maser clocks and clocks based on the caesium frequency standard, which show a far better medium and long-term stability than rubidium or passive hydrogen maser clocks. These clocks on the ground are gathered together within the parallel functioning Precise Timing Facilities in the Fucino and Oberpfaffenhofen Galileo Control Centres. The ground based clocks also generate a worldwide time reference called Galileo System Time (GST), the standard for the Galileo system and are routinely compared to the local realizations of UTC, the UTC(k) of the European frequency and time laboratories.
