Quality of air in established modern cities has been vastly improving in the last decades [1] and is subjected to much scrutiny nowadays. I doubt many cities ever had a comparable effect to smoking 10 cigarettes a day.

If you're typing a single letter at a time, from what I've read, a chorded keyboard tends to be significantly slower because that's just how fingers work. (Similar to how a pianist can play melodies much faster than they can repeat chords, because they're not using the same finger twice in a row.)

If you assign common words or syllables to additional chords, then speed goes back up, but it becomes so much harder to learn -- so much memorization.

Stenographers (like in court) use a keyboard that relies on simultaneous keys (the chord principle, but still with more keys than fingers) to achieve speeds even greater than normal speech, with their own predefined combinations (tons of practice to learn) -- but unless you're transcribing speech in court or providing live closed captioning, it doesn't seem to be a skill worth investing in.
I doesn't seem hard to imagine a CI pipeline that sends an email/sms for validation and waits an affirmative answer before continuing. I have no idea how to receive texts on a server, but sending and receiving emails is super easy.

Star Trek is "Wagon Trail" in space. Star Wars is, I think, space opera. The Expanse gives a nod to hard science, and I respect them for trying, but e.g. the gravity is always either 1 or 0 g. i'm not complaining, I think realistic sci-fi would be kind of boring. Like the first half of "2001: A Space Odyssey", it was basically Dr. Heywood taking a plane. A freaking awesome plane to space, but still.

I have a "100 Sci-Fi Movies" DVD set with lots of old movies from a span of decades, and it's pretty clear that at least some sci-fi did start as attempts to do a kind of scenario planning, but there has always been "speculative fiction" depending on how you categorize things. Was Plato's Atlantis science fiction?
No. Women are a more valuable resource and hence had to be protected.

If most men die, we can repopulate if there is a large population that is able to birth young. If most women die, resources are diminished because of time consideration.

Men go to war because they’re expandable. Why are you bringing in gender norms into the equation?
There are no signs that technological progress is slowing (the driving factor behind our success).
Jokes aside, the Moon is rally dark. With an albedo of 0.12, it is one of the darkest major bodies in the Solar system, save for Mercury with an albedo of 0.11.
I always wondered with the social credit score system, how long until something like that is extended to the rest of the world, HK seems like a natural place to start, as would the developing world.
I like to look at it this way: bad ideas, or bad executions of good ideas, or bad fits for VC, that somehow get funding and die before going public, or even better, get purchased by some bloated old company with too much money; the end result is a wealth transfer from the ultra-wealthy to the middle class. Paychecks get paid out. Stock options liquidate for something usually. Services get purchased to support the business even though they may not be worth supporting.

Right now, the VCs behind Medium are doing the world an amazing service. They're going to see almost no return on investment, but why would any of us "normal people" care about that? Its their money they're wasting. They're paying employees, probably a great wage. Probably providing a ton of benefits to attract talent, including lots of options, great insurance, snacks in the office, unlimited PTO. They're producing a product that is actively teaching competitors like write.as and ghost what Not To Do. I'd bet even most of their employees hate the direction they're going, which means they're learning as well.

Men can take the same testosterone supplements as women, so men will continue to win this arms race.

It would be interesting to see what the androgen receptor density is between males and females; if by some weird quirk, the receptor density is higher in females, then "doping" with anabolic steroids could theoretically be more effective for women. But at that point you are blurring the line and violating almost all principles of fair sport.

Note, there is one sport where doping is essentially permitted, and that is professional bodybuilding. And we have yet to see women with bigger, denser, thicker muscles than men. So I think even with unlimited doping, men still have some kind of innate advantage.
There is a cost-benefit trade-off for any regulation. If the non-regulatory costs of rocket launches are decreasing significantly, then it is worth revisiting the regulatory costs; what makes sense for 5-6 launches per year might not make sense for 50 launches per year.
Absolutely. If you feel you are creating a product that has a negative impact on the people you are serving you should do something about it. Unions can greatly benefit society should they choose to.

Make no mistake. If China has a GDP 2x the US and the US business are heavily reliant on China we’ll also be licking Xi’s boot. You already see it with how Hollywood kowtows to China with the hopes that it can get a movie into the country. Trump’s tariffs are not popular with many but it is breaking dependence on China’s supply chain and manufacturing.
The syntax is close to Scheme and with small changes will run in a Scheme interpreter. For example, here's a session at the REPL of Racket:

~$ racket
Welcome to Racket v7.2.0.6.
> (define True (lambda (t f) (t)))
> (define False (lambda (t f) (f)))
> (define If (lambda (b tr fa) (b tr fa)))
> (define P (lambda (x)
(If x
(lambda () (display "It was true!"))
(lambda () (display "It was false!")))))
> (P True)
It was true!
> (P False)
It was false!
>

Seen differently, it's also close to the mathematical notation of the lambda calculus.

To learn about the lambda calculus, check out chapter 5 of "Types and Programming Languages", Benjamin C. Pierce, MIT Press 2002. You might also get something out of "Semantics Engineering with PLT Redex", Felleisen, Findler & Flatt, MIT Press 2009.

Scenario 1) The universe will end in heat death, the big rip, or other similar cosmic catastrophe.

Scenario 2) The universe continues on for infinity, giving plenty of time for even the most ridiculously unlikely of events to occur. It is therefore inevitable that humanity or whatever progeny it might have will still ultimately cease to exist.

Also can anyone explain the multiple models too me? https://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey-hardware/

Say I want an USB-A key, I can choose from three and they all have different prices. The Security Keys are less secure than a FIPS or a 5? Maybe I'm just too end user but the multiple choices to me are the exact opposite of the easy to use principle. The whole product page is just confusing.
That's where Altra's come in. Wide toe box, zero drop, but cushioned.
FYI, a YubiKey (but not a lower-end Security Key by Yubico) supports OTP in addition to U2F. I have my GitHub account set up with U2F and OTP as the two 2FA options, both from my YubiKey. No SMS. This also works for pretty much any site that supports app-based 2FA; e.g., AWS doesn't support U2F at all, but I use it with my YubiKey via OTP.
"The report also found that sea levels are at the highest ever recorded."

But HBAM and other RAMs are, presumably, vastly cheaper otherwise. (You can keep explaining that, but unless you work for Cerebras and haven't thought to mention that, talking about how SRAM is faster is not actually an answer to my question about what paradigm is intended by Cerebras.)
All music genres burn out, they all devolve into trash or repetition, so inevitably every almost genre description is going to bookended with when/why/how that happened else it wouldn't really be an accurate history. There's no need for the hyperbolic "Does the author actually like any music?" when about half the descriptions are him talking about great music

> The peak period for any popular genre is 3-5 years, and then everyone wants to move on to the big thing
> So a lesson in Software development is similar to betamax and VHS, so marketing is still a winner over technically superior architecture and ease of use

The real lesson is that once a technology looses, the people who invested in the looser will run around forever calling the looser better.

In the case of VHS vs Betamax, VHS won because it was better overall. Some people point to one or two advantages of the Betamax format, but ignore that overall it wasn't better than VHS. (Because Beta tapes were physically smaller, you were usually forced to use a slower tape speed, loosing the very minor picture quality improvement at the highest tape speed. Thus, longer prerecorded Beta movies looked worse then their VHS versions.)

The same thing is also the case with git versus Hg. I used Hg years ago because it was easier to learn; but once I learned git, I see no reason to go back to Hg. Yes, Hg has an easier learning curve, but that's one particular detail.
Having a powerwall that can feed your local core infrastructure (hospital, water treatment, schools, etc) and then solar to charge the powerwall would mean you could isolate yourself from high spots prices for electricity.

With your own local powerwall, local grid tie will charge local capacity and be ransomed by the utility.

They make a lot of sense for terminal users. And the newest version is actually a very decent keyboard, so you don't have an upside by using another one. Many departments that have some terminals will just use those at every computer so that employees with a terminal license don't have to change hardware if they swap places (since Bloomberg anywhere, licenses are on a per-person basis, not bound to the computer).
Oh, I'm not arguing against the need for land. The greater vision makes sense to me. Certainly, the need for land (for railroads, etc.) is essential, plus a little more land on the sides as a buffer - no argument there. Also, connecting the country - whether via rail or highway systems - is absolutely strategically essential. And, in fact, i happily pay reasonable taxes (yes, happily!) for such useful infrastructure like this (assuming this tax revenue is utilized appropriately without corruption)...Because everyone ideally wins in this kind of revenue. Furthermore, I also agree that government subsidizing efforts like rail, highway, post, and arpanet/internet systems are vital as a foundation for any country - either for gov. services or for businesses/economies to prosper upon...I'm just only nitpicking about that little extra, tiny bit of land that UP railroad company is getting tons of free revenue from (by leasing to datacenters). Oh well, this is all said and done anyway.
Apple accidentally unpatched a vulnerability it had already fixed
I suspect not. I get the same experience with a wetsuit. And I've seen it happen with dozens of people on their first dives. Once they get down and stay down for a minute or so, they begin to trust that there is in fact air in the regulator, and that it will continue to be there. Until then, they'll fight panic every time.

Different people get over it at different rates. Some never do.

NFC support is spotty at the moment. The problem is that it's somewhat simpler to integrate FIDO/U2F via browser using the WebAuthn API than it is to implement a non-native FIDO SDK into your native app in a secure fashion. Once mobile browsers and iOS/Android web UI widgets get support for BLE and NFC WebAuthn, things should improve somewhat.

FIDO (WebAuthn) via browser abstracts some nuances from you such as "how do you know you can trust the server you're talking to?" and "how do you deal with the difference between FIDO and FIDO2 authenticators?" alongside other details that the native SDK's don't abstract away from you.

(For background: part of my day job is implementing authentication systems.)

As much as I love Jekyll, I have to agree with your points. Jekyll isn't very accessible with it's specific front matter and file naming convention. However I don't think Jekyll will ever have a proper GUI.

You can have the best of both worlds though. You can use gulp.js to build Jekyll friendly files coming from Ghost using the Ghost Content API: https://david.darn.es/tutorial/2019/08/11/use-ghost-with-jek...
That's a view of course (although in the case of gVisor they don't actually do versioned build just nightlies) but here's a question.

Yeah, a pad would be much harder to clean. We use single sheets of paper (and a metal clipboard that's easily cleaned if you want a writing surface).
It's important to remember this regarding Henrietta;

Neither her nor her family were ever compensated for the 'use' of her biological material nor was consent ever given for a donation. The medical-research community has profited incalculably from this.

She would have been treated better if she had recorded a song.
To be honest, I find writing comments and discussing on this topic very important. Maybe on HN people are aware of such practices and know how to mitigate them, but the general public need to be educated, otherwise they will be completely helpless and at the mercy of corporations relentlessly trying to "monetize" them.
> Agile and stand up meetings get a bad rap when poorly performing companies adopt the practices.

I was talking to the CTO of a large non-tech company and he was so excited how the whole development organization had adopted agile. Later he told me that after the conference he had to fly to a huge meeting where they plan and schedule out the next 6 months to a year of development work.
I used Jekyll for a long time before I got tired of it for the exact reason you mentioned. I used write.as for a while until I found rwtxt (https://github.com/schollz/rwtxt). You could self host if needed.

I work remote, and have for ~10 years. I'd take it over having a private office.

Of course, I've arranged my home space around this. I have an "office" at home, with a door and everything, where I can work. I still do a hefty amount of my working in coffee shops, though, which is somewhat akin to the open office experience. I also preferred remote working back when I first started it, and was just occupying my kitchen table or couch.

If I was in SF and thus able to access our office, I might well go in sometimes. But I suspect we'd top out at once a week, or when I really wanted to catch up on that hot nonprofit gossip. Commutes really are horrible things.
I think they are suggesting a mostly automated build process and then a manual entering of a the second factor OTP at the deploy stage. The entering of the 2FA isn't something that will be hard to easy to mess up and you still receive the benefits of automated builds for the most part.

For the biologists out there: what parts of this theory are limited by actual phenomena? What parts just push the bounds of a mental model used by scientists to help understand biology? As a non-biologist, it's sometimes hard to know the difference.

Also, what are the arguments for not saying transmissible cancers are parasites?
Yes, this is right except that the language as written is eager Scheme. You don't need a lazy system. The second and third arguments to If are nullary procedures. Their effects are delayed until invoked by whichever of True or False is supplied. Scheme's notation for invoking a nullary procedure -- `(t)`, vs `t` which just refers to the procedure -- doesn't help matters here :-)

And I'm not Amish, I don't have an Amish or Mennonite community to support me with all these things.

Also the Amish and Mennonite communities still heavily rely on mass-produced goods manufactured in the same factories we all get stuff from.

- mass produced pre-packaged foods (they will absolutely buy and consume junk food, I know a former Amish - he literally wrote a book called Growing Up Amish) and we have a ton of them here in Indiana)

- hired cars/mass transportation

- community telephones

- manufactured farm equipment

- refrigeration for dairy operations (they have to by law)

Amish also have

- Alcoholism in their communities, mostly among youth

- A good deal of drug use in their communities, mostly among youth

Orange is the New Black didn't include an Amish girl just for the novelty of it, the included her because it's accurate. I imagine a good deal of this escapism via drugs and alcohol is a direct result of their lifestyle.

And yes, some tribal society in Randomplace also lives largely without modern conveniences but they have the knowledge, they have the experience, in most cases it is all they've never known.

My comment was talking about ME, Ryan Mercer, not Generic Human. I can't go claim a bunch of land and set up my own farm/commune/colony, I do not have the knowledge or manpower, I do not have the resources, it is not practical for me or most of the 'first world'.

You cannot disable single receivers, they could only shut down or encrypt the whole system (at least for part of the world). Which could be standard procedure if they detect an incoming attack. With 3 other systems also available, that probably won't have much of an effect.
So this is a third party application (or one of several) I can download and install to make editing a text file sitting on my desktop easier and more accessible?

This just seems like one extra step on an already very simple process.
