As someone who grew up with a computer in the household in the 80s, I don't think the two situations are comparable. For one, a computer back then (and even today) is much less geared toward consumption (versus creation) than phones are. Second, being able to carry a phone with you and use it all day makes it a fundamentally different influence.
All the time! People propose hypotheses, supported by some preliminary data, and then they need to be tested. Some problems are easy, some take years or decades to be overturned. It's messy sometimes, but that's how science is supposed to work!
What is a net positive about "stop eating meat" unless you're livestock? From a nutrition perspective it's not a positive thing to "stop eating meat".

Besides changing your diet there are hundreds of other net positive (yet virtually inconsequenial) steps you can take to reduce your carbon footprint.

- Wash laundry with cold water
- Hang your laundry on a clothes line to dry
- Not manage and maintain a grass lawn
- Get healthy enough to get off/reduce perscription meds
- Drive a hybrid or an EV
- Have no/fewer offspring
- Don't have pets
- Don't work out or exercise (you'll expend more energy, eat more and breathe more co2)
- Don't drink alcohol (wine, beer, spirits)
- Don't eat chocolate (if meat is somehow uneccessary, certainly chocolate, wine, palm oil and tons of other nutritionally high GHG foods)
- Don't play or support activities which waste land, e.g., golf, football, soccer, graveyards, etc.
Because it would represent an extremely narrow slice of traders. It's possible traders of these equities find it quite hard to make a living but a larger number of other day traders do just fine.

Also it says "impossible" but the article actually shows it's difficult and rare.
Google Hit with Sweeping Demand from States over Ad Business
As a father of a toddler, I really appreciate stories where you get a phone call out of the blue and somebody tells you your child died. I didn't have enough anxiety about him already, so thanks for giving me a reason to panic at random phone calls from my wife.
I know people who made millions day trading commodities, for no one in that cohort to have made any real money over two years is surprising to the point of disbelief. This may be something particular to the Brazilian exchange.
No, because the world isn't a single health care market. Our ability to get health care outside the countries of our citizenship or legal residence is limited. Single-payer is only relevant for a single market. How else could you possibly describe it?
Is that the original goalpost? Because I'd say it is impossible to make a living playing the lottery. To make a living doing something, it needs to provide enough positive cash flow.

110k pre tax in the USA is 80k post tax per year-- it is often helpful for us to think in terms of both numbers when comparing money making methods. That's my guess at least.
I agree with your point totally. But just to put in perspective that U$310/day in Brazil would be the equivalent of the top 10% software engineer salaries in Brazil.
In Germany, you have an extra PIN (called PUK) that is required for these things (alternatively show up with your ID at a store). So unless someone has that, it’s not as much of a problem.
My friend recently got his sons a smartphone and he says their relationship has been irrevocably damaged because of it. Not because they are rude, etc. But when they used to talk, now it's complete silence and them looking at their phones, chatting with their friends or girlfriends. He hates the phones now because there is no socialization whatsoever with his kids. The power of the phone is that strong, and he had such a close relationship with his sons.

This happened to my Series 0 last summer. Obviously, it was out of warranty by over 2 years.

I took it to the Apple Store. They gave me a brand-new stainless steel Series 0. Apparently the battery swells sometimes, in the older watches, after a lot of use, and pops off the screen.

That's what I call customer service. That's the experience I get over, and over, and over again, from Apple. That's why I keep coming back.

Apple backs up its products.

Take your Watch in, and give it a try.
I guess sometimes infinite scrolling is fine, as long as you have a "go to the last reply" btn.

Frisp: The Uncensored Media Platform
FRISP, the [FR]ee [I]nternet [S]ocial [P]latform, is an uncensored (within legal limit) social media platform similar to 4chan, and Reddit brought to you by The Cobet Project, inc. Our top concern is not only your privacy, and anonymity, but also that you are uncensored. We encrypt every post, and is only unencrypted when viewing the post. You can post 3rd party pictures, or post pictures directly to our servers. We hope to launch the open-beta web version of FRISP to the public in roughly 3-4 weeks. Currently, we have a early open to public prototype. You can visit our website at https://thecobet.com to see more about other projects, and to join the discord!
Agreed that it’s about changing what IP and address resolves to, 32 bit IPs don’t have to be harder to memorize than a phone number. In fact most IP addresses can be represented as a 10 digit decimal notation and last I checked chrome will resolve this “phone number” representation into the traditional quad-octet

it's a shame we don't hear the kids side in the article

people I know who have done this have eventually changed and allowed/bought a phone as the in school peer pressure was huge and the kids ended up feeling excluded from their social groups as not fitting in (nothing wrong with kids finding their own path btw)
Their website says it has NFC for card payments. So I would assume it would.
Ask HN: Would you develop Android or iOS first?
In 2019, which mobile platform would you developer first if you have to choose one?

Android takes longer to develop but has more market share.

iOS is easier to develop and users are willing to spend money.
To the contrary, I think the fact that you think both Snowden and Assange are Russian agents demonstrates that the administrations response was actually quite effective.
New York State just overhauled farm labor in a similar manner that will prevent most small farms from hiring by season... and in agriculture seasons can be 2 weeks to 2 months... but now you have to cover FT, benefits, plus unemployment insurance.

So in theory you can hire someone... they can work for 2 months and then collect unemployment after you run out of work for them because the earth's position changed and it's now winter.

New York State already pays about 4% above the national average for farm labor. All costs will just be passed on to consumers. Industry groups estimate that consumers will need to eat $300m in additional food costs per year.

The State Senator (from Queens) that authored the bill visited approximately 14 farms in NYS prior to writing the bill... and signed it in Manhattan... where farm labor money is now set to flow in the form of union fees being managed by hedge funds and banks.
The silly assumption being made here is that "DoH" = "talk HTTPS to Cloudflare". I want DoH, but I need private domains. I would like to talk DoH to a thing I control.

4. absolutely does not sound like a bug at all. Making a random move if you don't know what to do is the obvious right thing to do.
It’s possible, because people do it.

Maybe they mean day trading isn’t something that can be managed, metricized, and scrummed to death like some other fields?

No I mean in my current situation if my ISP is also my DNS provider they will get the requests.

But they can already see what sites I visit because they are my ISP and carry my packets.

"the harder it is to find flaws in the Standard Model, the harder it would be to use such new physics in engineering."

I think that is very likely, but not necessarily guaranteed. I use similar logic with regard to FTL and time travel; if physics has not quite entirely ruled it out, the window is getting smaller and smaller, and is already to the point it's entirely plausible that even if it's theoretically possible there may be no conceivable engineering path to get to it, even for a hypothetical civilization that can fling black holes around.

However, we can't entirely rule out the possibility that some new physics will come along that will reveal how to easily "flip" matter into anti-matter (there seems to be no fundamental reason why this is impossible, it's just... too hard to be useful), or enable the creation of some state of matter or energy that may be exceedingly unlikely to be created naturally [1], but once created could be leveraged into something useful, or other such things. Stabilized muon fusion [2]? Relatively & QM fusion will certainly reveal something new about gravity; it can't be entirely ruled out that it will in some way be useful to engineering. (Although in this particular case, remember we can eliminate not just the "scientific" theories, but also observe engineers have yet to blunder into anything that seems to indicate any manipulation of gravity in any sensible way. Every real-world device ever built is also a test that shows that particular device must not be doing large-scale gravity manipulation.) Will quantum computers reveal some limit of reality's ability to calculate, and will that limit somehow itself turn out to be useful? Maybe.

Still, I tend to think that as much fun as flights of fancy about time travel, FTL, or bizarre alien tech can be, that the most likely hypothesis by far is that we are indeed very unlikely to discover anything in particle physics anymore that will be of any engineering value.

But I wouldn't counsel disappointment. There's still a lot of room at the bottom. We're not going to run out of technology in our lifetimes. If particle physics bores you, check out what's going on in materials science. They're making qubits sing and dance on command. It may still not build UFOs, but they're doing weird stuff in there.

The ACA was probably literally life-saving for a lot of people in my cohort, who were maximally affected by the 2008 crisis and could stay on their parents' insurance plan after graduating university and before finding full-time employment.

The same goes for people who were uninsurable due to pre-existing conditions.

It might have been inconvenient for you if your policy rates went up, but the system was not working before the ACA. It's still not great, but at least less people are shut out of the system completely.
The Sad History of the MFC Try/Catch Macros
But what should we compare those odds, how are we supposed to interpret this?

Imagine we tracked a group of 1000 randomly picked individuals who wanted to be a brain surgeon. I don't know for sure but I wouldn't be surprised if of 1000 randomly chosen people, only 3 people managed to succeed at it after 4 years.

But no one would ever say "Study shows it's impossible for an individual to become a brain surgeon." or imply that it's just random luck to be a brain surgeon. Instead we conclude that being a brain surgeon must be very hard and require a great deal of dedication and commitment.

The reason day trading is singled out whereas brain surgeons are not is that the barrier to entry to become a day trader is very low, anyone can try to become a day trader and many people think they can succeed at it.

The proper conclusion to take from this is isn't that the stock market is pure luck or just a form of gambling... it's that one shouldn't be deceived by the low barrier to entry into thinking that they can succeed at it. It's really hard, soul crushing work to be a successful day trader in much the same way it's really hard work to do anything in life that pays well.
I just rolled my eyes when I saw the title here and I rolled my eyes harder when I read what Sarah had to say. Your points are exactly what my thoughts are. I remember my grandmother use to tell my mother to tell me to stop using the computer so much and go outside and play. Like you said I had a great social life but any time I was on the computer learning to code it was apparently bad for me. My parents didn't really understand the opportunities something like a computer had in the future just like Sarah over here doesn't understand smart phones. All Sarah sees is the negatives just like my parents so the negatives of using a computer.

Yes there is a risk of having to have that unpleasant convo with your kids about whats right and wrong and being responsible with your phone..but isn't that what parents are suppose to do? Teach your kids what's right and wrong instead of just denying them of things you don't understand?

Fairphone has had very solid software support. It is together with Nexus and Oneplus the hardware most enthusiasts choose, so there is a functioning community around it.

It is not only well supported in LineageOS, but also most alternative phone OSes such as UBports (Ubuntu Touch), Sailfish and postmarketOS have or have had people actively using the hardware.

It's quite a good track record considering the Fairphone 2 is already twice the age the minimum software update guarantee from Google for their own hardware.

It would be cool to see exactly what sort of model would produce behavior like this. I'm a theoretical physicist, and at first glance I have absolutely no idea how one could write down a model that had "energy at a frequency that isn't a harmonic": it doesn't really fit with anything that I know about quantum systems or quantum field theory, which pretty solidly force us into discrete energy spectra for the types of systems that you're talking about. But I'd love to see a mathematically consistent model that does what you're talking about: it sounds fresh and different, if it turns out to be possible at all. If you come up with some math to share, please do! (Hmm... in the back of my mind, there was some interest years ago in "unparticle" models that might maybe possibly be related, or maybe I'm just completely fuzzy on what that idea was about.)
You only need one example to disprove that something is "impossible".

My experience with FtP/PtW was thankfully probably 100$ total. It was one of the Machine Zone games, final fantasy something or other.

Machine Zone games are some of the worst (and most popular!!!) of the genre, but certainly MZ is not the only bad actor here, and they did not break laws from what I saw...

But these games 100% need to be strictly regulated. Based on a couple others my girlfriend has played they are all gambling based in some ways with variant payouts (slot machine mechanics), enhanced with something even more nefarious: social rankings and status, and mechanisms that encourage you to pay to ascend the rankings of the specific subculture (or subculture shard usually) of the game.

I have no proof of MZ employees doing this since the game mechanics producing addicted whales could produce the equivalent behavior and overpowered accounts, but in an unregulated environment, MZ could easily seed each of the shard worlds with employees equipped with superuser accounts to prey on people that had not paid money to try to get them to buy packs and survive.

While this probably isn't racketeering in the legal sense, it sure as hell seemed like it.

Other tricks, such as fomenting conflict between "clans" and other tactics could easily have been "naturally" arising for the rules of the game, but without regulation any self-serving company would have provacateurs in each of the major clans starting wars and getting whale players to participate and pay out money.

All told it was a very creepy experience, topped off with a week-long "cold turkey quitting" psychological experience. Not that I had cold sweats or anything like that, but there was clearly addicted neurons that needed to wither away.

PtW needs careful regulation and oversight. The numerous levels of subconscious mechanisms and exploits in use are very concerning. It would be fascinating to take a group of psychologists and former CIA employees and let them play these games and get their perspectives.

This blog post is extremely misleading -- it appears to confuse the "null hypothesis" with an actual scientific hypothesis that is being tested. For example:
"However, there are many cases where I am testing bold, risky hypotheses—that is, hypotheses that are unlikely to be true."

Those may be the hypotheses being tested, but they are not NULL hypotheses. NHST is not about testing the NULL hypothesis, it is about testing a non-Null hypothesis (the null hypothesis should always be incredibly boring and expected). There may be problems, but this blog post does not describe one.
It's the goalpost of the post I was responding to. I may have misunderstood the point, though.
