What about the boys?

> Girls in 2019 tend to be risk-averse, focused on their studies and fond of their families. They are also experiencing high levels of depression and loneliness. A 2019 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 36% of girls report being extremely anxious every day. They are particularly worried about school shootings, melting polar ice and their ability to afford college.

These don't seem like issues exclusive to teenage girls.

Will Colonel Ellsworth Please Raise His Hand?
I'd be spending about $15/day on beef at that rate on my salary, which isn't very far off from my fast food habits.
When I was in junior high, circa mid 90s, I hade full control of my school's network. Was Novell Netware based, DOS only. Menu was meant to restrict what apps we could run to only those in the menu. Found an "exploit" in WordPerfect in that you could launch WP, hit a function key to launch a limited command prompt, but on exiting WP, it would crash, returning to a full command prompt. Being basically DOS 6.x, there was no further permissions at that point. I was friendly with the IT admin, so I always let him know when I stumbled into something (I also had about a half dozen admin accounts hidden). I had the ability to chamge grades, impersonate teachers and send messages as a teacher, but never abused my acceas. I did get suspended for a week after a network crash (likely caused by a failed disk) that I had nothing to do with.

My parents asked me point blank if I'd done and if I knew how to do it, or which I honestly replied no to both. That was when I got my first C++ book. My parents were like "if you got suspended for something you didnt do, you're sure as fuck going to learn how to do it."

In his book, The Relaxation Response, Dr. Benson discusses the actions of the fight or flight response and how, when repeatedly accessed, it can cause harm to the body. He notes, Our studies revealed the opposite was also true. The body is also imbued with what I termed the Relaxation Response - an inducible physiological state of quietude.

He goes on to discuss how the body is able to heal and rejuvenate itself through this process. In explanation he states, Regular elicitation of the Relaxation Response can prevent and compensate for, the damage incurred by frequent nervous reactions that pulse through our hearts and bodies. His research concludes that not only is this process good for health, but it can help to restore it.

"Amazon FC Ambassadors" seriously?

Reminds me of the missionaries carrying bibles, in this case spreading the Lord Bezos word.
>What's the endgame here?

To expose questionable corporate PR tactics.

Surely if Amazon actually cared about improving their public image they would fix the issues that are causing them problems instead of spending time and money employing people to rain praises for pay on social media, right?
Does your grocery store disclose the stocking fees paid for end isle placement?
I did figure that if I were to email hn@ and ask, you'd probably be able to rename my account, but this isn't exposed anywhere in the UI (or even the FAQ), and links to profiles are based on username rather than some internal ID.
I seriously doubt there's anything remotely grassroots about this. I find it unlikely that Amazon is lying about the fact that the employees running these twitter accounts are low level, but I also find it hard to believe that they wouldn't be instantly taken off for going off script.

Also notice that each tweet is sent out by sprinklr.
Calculation on dating pool if we were to date outside our cities
I'm working on a dating app idea that lets people date safely outside their cities.

I crunched some numbers and would love some feedback to see if there's any holes in my assumptions and calculations.

Thank you!

Have a look at the numbers e.g. on drowdown.org to put the 8% in perspective.
I actually wrote code for the autofit. Didn't do multiple pages, but it would adjust the size of a text to fit it into a given space (it was for printing chemical bottle labels). That was a fun project. I had a customized font set made by Bitstream for setting the Japanese text (this was years before Unicode was a viable thing, so we were encoding non-Latin scripts using SJIS) and had to go through a couple hundred pages of character tables to verify that we didn't have any coding errors when we switched to that font from the free bitmapped font we had previously.
You can also be biased without it being a bad thing.
Are you still a living human if it just shoops you off into a virtual world indistinguishable from your current one, so it can use your atoms for something more productive? What about if you upgrade yourself to the point where you're no longer made of mortal meat?
I'm a bit confused by this - are you saying that it'd end up being 100% of what you eat, or that it's actually a reasonable estimate of your beef consumption?

(as an aside - $15 on fast food a day! for your sake I hope it's relatively healthy stuff!)
Not discounting this story, but I’d like to point out that raising concerns is a personal protective strategy for any cyber staff. If you constantly raise concerns that you know cannot or will not be resolved, you have created a paper trail scapegoat for when something goes wrong. The more ambiguous the better: firewall settings not monitored enough, Too much turnover something will fall through cracks, Etc

Protecting a large enterprise from cyber attacks is basically impossible, so coping with that stress and protecting your career by looking for other things to blame makes sense to me.
As best I can tell, our process is not typical. But it's also not fundamentally a bad thing. It obviously doesn't interest you and I'm sure there are others who wouldn't apply for the same reason.

But, there are others out there who appreciate a more thorough approach and might view the process you described as inadequate.

Also, our salary range is higher for senior devs.

I think what matters is whether the process being used by the organization is resulting in the hiring of developers that are a good match. I'm glad we are doing things this way even though it makes hiring take longer and likely filters out candidates who could do the work. It's an imperfect balancing act, one I'm always looking to improve. The main point of the post I made above was to show how IMO take home exams can be executed well, not to argue that everyone needs such an elaborate application process.
Doesn't that defeat the entire point of fitness training?
Wow!! My company made HackerNews! Yeah, what an arseache it's been - and just checked and nothing has been actioned still despite the negative coverage. Google truly don't give a shit I'm afraid.
From your comment mentioning this seaweed not being domesticated, I'm wondering what the development process looks like.

Are you starting by trying to grow undomesticated seaweed in a completely artificial setting, is the first step to domesticate the seaweed in the sea, something else?
There was mention of sons.

I’m not sure if you read the article but it’s exclusively talking about girls so why would you expect it to talk about boys?
Not in any code I've written; I only use parameterized queries. I definitely maintain code that just sends parameters as strings. The prevalence of this is alarming.

Really? How much progress was made on thinking machines in the 19th century? How much between 1900 and 1950? 1950 and 2000? 2000 and 2010? 2010 and now?

I think each of those timespans is very roughly equivalent. In the past 10 years voice recognition has gone from useless to ubiquitous. Neural image labeling and segmentation likewise. Physical robots have gone from taking a few faltering steps to doing parkour. None of that counts as "AI" any more because it works and we know how, but the rate at which new capabilities are moving from the realm of "AI" to the realm of "normal engineering" is increasing exponentially.
I've seen Amazon's sponsored tweets on Twitter. Didn't realize they are going so hard to work on their public image.
Methane isn't stable in the atmosphere. It eventually converts to CO2 and H2O (within 10 years of emission). It's also an extremely miniscule portion of the Earth's atmosphere, at 1.7 parts per million. It is a negligible factor in global warming.

EDIT: Methane is .00017% of the Earth's atmosphere. It cannot be a major factor in retaining heat in the Earth's atmosphere, even though it may be 20 times more effective than wator vapor at retaining heat, it exists in such
low concentrations that it can't have a significant effect. To be clear, wator vapor is up to 4% of the atmosphere at any time, so it exists in concentrations 20,000 times greater than Methane.

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/5270/atmospheric-me...

EDIT 2: it doesn't matter how good methane is at retaining heat if it exists in the parts per billion range...it's negligible. It would be equivalent to eating a single additional calorie a day in your 2000 calorie diet. It would not cause you to gain weight. Equivalently, if you exercise 1.8 more seconds a day than you usually do, you're not going to gain more muscle or burn more fat.

EDIT 3: https://cdiac.ess-dive.lbl.gov/trends/atm_meth/ice_core_meth... ice cores showing variable methane rates over the last 800K years, a time in which we've swing in and out of ice ages several times over.

Also, humans killed off megafauna much larger than cows and taking up much more biomass towards the end of the Paleolithic era, in a time when the climate was rapidly warming. Despite plunging populations of megafauna and their supposedly toxic digestive systems, the climate continued to warm by 8 degrees around 12000 years BP, well before we discovered fossil fuels. https://royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/full/10.1098/rspb.201...

What kind of margins do they have that enables them to just throw money around like this? Is the payments industry that big of a cash machine to allow this kind of spending that has nothing to do with their core business?
I find marketing in general outrageous. I'm not surprised by or find Amazon particularly egregious in their marketing. This is apparently the system we want, at least until no one wants it anymore.

I will almost subconsciously assign a negative mark to companies who aggressively market, and a positive mark to those I deem authentic (spoiler, very few). I'm at the point now that I'm saving a ton of money because I'm simply turned off by the hard sell. It's like when you immediately close a tab on an article you were about to read because 4 different "Join our newsletter" modals slid in. I'm guessing I'm not the only one (but maybe one of few?). Is it possible that marketing practices have gotten so out of hand that they are very gradually nudging consumers away from what they're selling?

Anyone know if marketers talk about this sort of backlash at w/e conventions they have, or is it just push push push. The data must identify at least a hint of a negative trend right? How long until there are "authenticity consultants"?
Oh, of course - I just mean that if someone effectively thinks the fact one branch of government holds all of the ultimate enforcement power is some unanticipated flaw in the American system, it boils down to not believing in any kind of constitutional order. You can't article-of-the-constitution it away, it's roundheads and cavaliers.

I did end up in a small clickhole looking for regular schmoes (i.e. not high-level government officials or political operatives) who've been held in contempt of congress and taken it to court. There apparently hasn't been one in decades (so presumably people just comply), except very recently, one of your favourite litigants - backpage.com!
That's optional and has been for awhile now I believe, you can CNAME from your own DNS provider. While that does rely on their DNS for that one record, it means you still have control to changeover if need be.
I’m no security expert. How is “exposing the hash seed” a problem for the vast majority of applications? What timing information would be leaked and why would that be problem?

Native America: A New Narrative?
I haven't been to the grocery store much lately, and a Wendy's and McDonald's are within bicycling distance. I'll go to them once or twice a day often nowadays. When I first moved out, eating out so much would have felt like an intolerable budget failure, but I've found myself caring less and less over time.

I try to stick to just the burgers, not soda or fries often. The jalapeno bacon fries at Wendy's have been an exception though.

I feel like it's not really that unhealthy considering fat's actually not bad for you and dietary cholesterol doesn't become blood cholesterol, which was surprisingly still good for me despite this diet last it was tested. Results vary depending on the genetic lottery.

City planners who approve new housing zones in low lying areas are partially to blame here. If climate change is a known risk, how is it legal to approve housing in such areas?

We should encourage approving city expansion only into regions that are naturally immune to 500-year floods. Otherwise it's a fight against inevitability
No, no it’s not.

It's easier to consume those things... until winter arrives. Unless you support the massively carbon intensive process of shipping ~80% of each hemisphere's food supply to the other during winter, this isn't viable. Even if that is acceptable, it isn't sustainable.
Look at any big cloud provider or CDN and the same can be said. If you don't have a DR plan in place to bypass a CDN provider in a downtime situation then you're doing something wrong. (assuming it isn't a hobby project)

That’s the only way hard, unique problems are solved. If it can be done quickly, it’s routine.
He worked at Sandia so he seems to have engineering chops. But it is ridiculous to think that one individual or even one isolated group can defend against pervasive threats. Like worker safety, it has to be a cultural priority starting at the top and made priority #1 in every decision and work process.

Even then, security is an illusion. Eventually something or someone will find a way to get through. Zero trust needs to be embraced. Assume every employee, partner, developer and vendor is going to have full internal access and abuse it...then defend from there.

Surely you're not arguing that the amount of water on the planet has decreased? Or that global annual rainfall has reduced?

EPA shows that annual precipitation has consistently increased over the past century, so the water scare is a bad play:

It's a little scary to upload a completely new version, when you know there's that many weekly active users that are going to be hammering away on it soon.
I agree with your central thesis, but I doubt one of your other points:

> not to mention of course stories about the creation of the universe or biblical floods which have conveniently become "metaphorical" after it became plain enough that they were nothing but fabrication.

People hold (and have held) various beliefs about Christian theology and proper interpretation of scripture. E.g., you rightly point out problems with a literal 6-day interpretation of creation, but St. Augustine and others [0] were skeptical of that interpretation well before modern archaeological methods and/or carbon dating.

So I think it's helpful to look closely at just a handful of testable claims, that cut across many different theologies, denominations, and interpretations.

I call these types of comments "disciplinary blinders" (we've always done it this way...) but there's probably a better name for them. They might as well be prefixed with "back in my day..."

That's aside from the fact that those comments are
redirecting the conversation away from the main point, which is Amazon's questionable PR tactics.
Yeah this seems like the obvious thing here. It's disturbing that the conversation here is not about that because the lack of doubts people have shows this an easy way to sabotage any organization

10 Year Challenge. How Car UX Have Changed
That's an interesting question.

Philosophically speaking, if the power comes from the wearer's actions, the exosuit would be basically redirecting power that's internal to the wearer, making more efficient use of it. If that's the case, in a sense it would serve a similar purpose as a bicycle (more efficient use of leg power), except the bicycle isn't very well adapted to rough terrain.

Note that this thought is completely speculative. I haven't read the research paper yet. I probably won't understand the paper even if I tried. I'm not in that field.

Sure, but that only leads to a fresh water problem if the chosen "solution" to the transportation problem is to grow seaweed inland.

From the article: "When added to cow feed at less than 2% of the dry matter, this particular seaweed completely knocks out methane production.".
I really like this module and love the idea. The images are far too big though especially compared to cowsay/cowthink.
Even if the seaweed were shipped in trucks over distance you'd likely still have a large net benefit as only a small amount of seaweed needs to be added to the cattle's diet in order to prevent methane emissions.
Awesome, but given Nintendo's history I have to ask if this is the type of thing that provokes a cease-and-desist.

The truth is the internet is teaching the biggest lesson ever in critical thinking and getting your information from many sources across spectrums, individuals, companies, countries, divides and more.

I just did a quick check: 5% of the top 100 submissions on hacker news right now are from one information source - The New York Times. Hacker news does have some technical content as well, so the percentage would be higher if we only count political submissions.
That's what the Amazon's choice feature is supposed to do. Instead of having their customers paralyzed by the many options they choose /something/.

Exactly, many people complain about about not being hired because they lack experience and they can't build experience if they are not hired.
