Probably also include a hair test. Blood shows what's going on right now, hair includes the last couple of weeks (with some caveats, which the doctor should be aware of so no need to discuss it here, for example hair does not automatically show up in hair proportionally to what was in blood during the time - too many transport phenomena in the body other than mere diffusion).

Ask HN: Why does Amazon pay $5 to scan their box tape?
For example (screenshot): https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D6gFcEdUwAEvlHc.jpg

My uneducated guesses:

(1) To test if the boxes are taped correctly

(2) To get people to install the mobile app

(3) To get people into the habit of scanning codes with the app
And the people who do have kids will prosper, and those who don't will die off.

This proposed policy is not sustainable.

Who pays for the marketing campaign on those new gadgets? Maybe they can change their mind and sell less breakable ones, even though it's worse for business?

You and me might resist the siren call of marketing, but most cannot.

Middle class cannot in general afford property, much less beachfront one. Maybe with a big mortgage. You're conflating rich and super rich with the middle class.
because the german example is tied to the currency used by germany (and the eurozone as a whole).
The problem with this is that the language runtimes now have to have an http client implementation. DNS isn’t super simple but I would argue it’s much simpler than http. DoH is a very good idea and we need the security it provides but I think using http as the protocol is probably a mistake and will prevent it from being widely adopted.
Darknet Criminals Are Selling Fiat for Bitcoin at 12 Cents on the Dollar
If Libra becomes a thing, I would guess people will start selling things with it and Europeans will sell their services with Libra if Americans ell their services with Libra.

Maybe in Germany, most people will stay away from it but in Bulgaria, Spain, Italy etc. - in places where people are more "relaxed" about the law enforcement will not miss business opportunities just because their rich neighbours can afford to miss it.

If audits materialize they, the users will simply set-up or use proxies to deal with it. Someone in the USA will set-up an Libra-Bitcoin-Euro-USD exchange for example and the transactions will go through these. I can already see an Ukrainian-Russian-Bulgarian-Romanian-Turkish partnerships to run these operations. Europe is a mess, laws and enfrcement capacity is very different in every country and countries are in multiple clubs(in EU, in EEA, in customs union, in Eurozone, in schengen, not in EU but confirms to EU, not in Eurozone but the currency is pegged to Euro, in EU but not NATO, in NATO but not in the EU. It doesn't have an end) giving differnt rights and different obligations to people in each country and even messier when they are not in their own country or hold multiple citizenships.
The “drug” is just purified peanut protein. Comparable treatments have been offered by allergy specialists for a while and not just in the context of clinical studies.
But this is all fame and power. It corrupts the participants of the game. I didn't understand the dig at feminism in the end because the article was about fame and power games and not specific ideologies.
agree, I'm pretty frustrated with the notion that end-consumers are entirely responsible for somehow reversing the trend of pollution by voluntarily opting out of the packaging system. Firstly, it is mostly impossible to do completely without enormous effort and sacrifice, secondly, only a tiny fraction of the population is actually going to attempt to do such a thing, and thirdly, as you said, manufacturers and industry will continue to produce and discard the majority of waste in any case. From a political point of view, putting the blame all on consumers is the perfect story for polluting industries to hide behind - "it's all your fault!". It's a scam, and only legislation and interruption at the supply chain will have any impact. The only genuinely good thing about consumers engaging in voluntary source reduction is that they raise their own political awareness, since the main thing they need to do is vote.
It's Facebook. If we were talking about a privacy-conscious system, maybe, but it's guaranteed to be the opposite. Facebook wouldn't do something like this without tying it to the user's FB account.
That would just never happen. The French government doesn’t have some minor worries that can be resolved by changing an API. They are going to oppose anything that is cryptocurrency plus Facebook.

That can't be the only explanation, my first allergic reaction was at half-hour old (yes, at 30 minutes old), still have a scar from that on my face... ('What fight gave you that one?' 'Oh, the usual, formula milk as a newborn...')
Though I suspect I'm still 'lucky' to only get rashes and 'hay-fever' reactions...

Funny story, 32 years later I'm still allergic to lots of stuff (food, plastics, heat), a couple of years ago I was so sick of it I forced my GP to have me tested. (It was forced because he was of the opinion that we knew I had allergies, so testing for a known outcome wouldn't tell us anything.)

He called me back asking why I was still alive... According to the results they found traces of a raging nut and peanut allergy (and other stuff some of which they didn't bother specifying further). So why am I still alive? I can't stand the smell nor taste of them, and they 'only' give me rashes and during accidental ingestion swollen lips/tongue...

Germany has profited immensely from the use of the euro in foreign trade. Had it kept the Deutschmark, German exports would be by some esteems 25% more expensive than they are now, given the strong fiscal position of the country.

Germany is in a unique position of being able to jawbone about devaluation and monetary policy while reaping the rewards of spendthrift member states.
I am also worried they put toxic doses of vitamins and minerals. My hair supplement used to contain 10000 micrograms of biotin and caused acne. Other supplements put 100 micrograms. Melatonin doses also vary too wildly, like 4x. They seem to be concerned about bragging rights at our expense.
I feel a little misread, but that might be my fault. I'll try to expound...

- If you find that engaging with an art-object or art-performance--or even entire categories of them--doesn't help you find an art experience, it's fine to ignore them.

- If you find placards d(e|is)tract or annoy you, it's fine to ignore them. If you find the thoughts on a placard more interesting than the nearest art-object, it's fine to focus on it. If you find it more interesting to write your own placards and post them on Twitter, that's also fine. It's also fine (well, with me, but perhaps not security...) to print them out later, return to the gallery, and post them next to the work. It's fine to read the placard and decide to dismiss it because you have more interesting interpretation than the artist.

- If you find it more interesting to sit and imagine what other people are thinking as they browse the gallery, that's also fine. If you're more of a people person, it's also fine to ask someone else what sense they make of a work. It's also fine if you don't give a shit what they think.

- If you find the gallery's infrastructure or air-quality-monitoring equipment or security system more interesting than the art-objects it contains, it's fine to consider them deeply. It's fine to ignore anyone who notices and thinks you're a rube. It's fine to reflect on how weird people are if someone else walks up beside you and also deeply ponders the same piece of infrastructure. It's fine to come back another time and stick a placard next to it.

- If you find it surprising or perhaps even galling that someone created an art-object or art-performance, it is fine to accept that it may help other people find an art experience, or accept that it may not be very good at helping any people find art experiences. It's also fine to reflect on why and how it affects you. It's also fine to wonder if the artist is mocking something or someone. It's also fine to wonder if whoever selected thee work got the joke or not. It's also fine to go home and make your own art mocking something you find galling.

- It's fine to avoid conspicuously pretentious events, venues, and people. It's also fine to go, observe, and make art mocking them. It's also fine to go, and see if any of them spend time pondering the doorstop you stuck a placard next to. It's also fine if it helps some of them have an art experience, whether they get the joke or not.

As the article mentions, "interim" periods between semesters pose a problem for poor students staying in the dorm on scholarship with no where to go. At my university the charge for staying in the dorm during an interim was about 40% the price of staying a semester. Moving was also a significant cost&effort - with no "home base" my only choice was to move everything I owned into and out of a storage unit - three times a year. (My parents were happy to have me stay, but it's hours away and a hoarder house so no room for my things. Living conditions were so bad I'd often fall sick after staying there.) One interim period a professor let me stay in a (nice) trailer home he owned. The last two years of college I stayed in a house owned by the family of a former teacher, trading work on the dilapitated house for rent: the financial, physical, and emotional burden of moving out and back between each of three semesters a year negated most of the benefit of having a dorm room paid for on scholarship. (Even if you paid to stay during an interim, you still had to move out for a few days each interim, ostensibly for "maintenance" - I never saw any maintenance actually performed. I think it was a policy they maintained oblivious to the chaos it caused low income students' lives.)
Not quite the same kind of inflation hedge as "free floating" limited-issue cryptocurrencies then?

(This is one of the things that confuses me about Libra's target market; if you believe the cryptocurrency marketing about privacy and permissionlessness and inflation-hedging, then Libra is terrible at those things. If you don't, and you're in Europe, you just use SEPA.)

This. My personal favorite game for co-op vs the AI was RUSE - they had several different AI profiles that tended towards certain strategies you could specify, or it would choose at random. However, it really did respond to what units you built and what strategies you chose, building bunkers against a rush and such, or building a ton of anti-tank weapons if it saw you had tanks.

This meant that subterfuge and concealing your intentions was legitimately a huge part of the strategy - if you intentionally let the AI see a lot of a certain kind of unit and then build a different kind of strategy, you'd often see success, but because of the way the AI strategised it could sometimes meet you head on with an unexpected surge because it briefly saw you building up from an unspotted recon unit hiding somewhere.

Ultimately it is relatively easy to defeat with a little experience, but I still several years later occasionally boot it up with a friend to try and beat the hard AI 2v4 - we've only managed a handful of times, and the experience of slowly being whittled down back to back is a great experience to have in a friendship

A tricky job to say the least
HSR would let people spend a number of hours a day commuting to the Bay from Fresno at the cost a few hundred dollars per day. I doubt that would be attractive to all that many people except for those who commute into the Bay area for a chunk of the week and stay in a hotel. But at that point, they could be flying from just about anywhere west of Chicago.
There are a couple of other routes to eligibility.

One is by having sufficient coursework in various categories, even if you degree itself was not one they recognize. There are four options if you do it this way.

They are 24 semester hours in physics; or 32 semester hours that includes 8 hours of either physics or chemistry and 24 hours in biology, botany, microbiology, or molecular biology; or 30 hours in chemistry; or 8 hours of either chemistry or physics and 32 hours in chemistry, physics, biology, botany, microbiology, molecular biology, or engineeing.

Under that last option, computer science courses count.

The other route in is by taking and passing the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) test.

I was once seriously considering becoming a patent agent, but my degree is in math (Caltech, class of '82) which is not on the PTO's list of acceptable degrees, and so looked into these other routes.

The main issue with the coursework route for me was that when I was there Caltech graded all first year courses pass/fail, and the PTO does not count courses taken pass/fail. That knocked a year of physics, a term of physics lab, a year of chemistry, and a year of chemistry lab out of the running.

The FE test route looked quite reasonable. This was a long time ago, and I believe they have changed the format of the test since then, but when I was looking it looked like it would have taken maybe a month or two of spare time prep.
>Providing for security is also inherent to sovereignty of nations, but private security firms flourish.

They exist entirely at the behest of their respective nation states' laws and regulations, and are completely subordinate to all official law enforcement and military forces. It's a flawed analogy. This would be tantamount to a private military company asserting their right to conduct foreign wars in the name of a subset of citizens.
If what you were saying was true, there'd still be just as much racism in hiring as there was in the 50s. That's patently not the case.

And that's not "all you can do". Societal attitudes regarding race have shifted dramatically over the past few decades.
I never got into sc2, but didn't they get rid of muta stacks and dancing dragoons? The silly "can move during weapon cooldown" mechanic of sc1 imho was disastrous for extreme micro requirements as it meant that units could back off in between firing while the unit AI just wants to stand and fight, meaning even the simplest battle requires extreme micro.

I'd generally agree for functioning humans, but am less sure about older people with deteriorating mental functions. There is likely no getting though it, and I can hardly handle it.

Not when meeting my grandpa on one of his last days before he ended himself a few years ago in what was probably one of his clearer states of mind. Apparently they mostly shielded us from how bad his state was and honestly, I'm fine with that lie. Knowing would probably lead to something better, like some magical cure.

Now my grandma a fall, following operations and a re-occurring delirium/confusional state that doesn't seem to go away. She wants to go back to her home, but that's no option in her state. If a little lie would help keep her stable...

As for myself, I obviously hope medicine & science will make enough progress in the next few decades to spare me something like that. Or to be lucky and not have that problem in the first place. But if it comes to that... I don't know. Maybe just try to keep me happy.
Sure, everyone should do their part. BUT:

1. Pretending that's a practical way to get the kind and scale of change we need is extremely wishful thinking, to the point that I wouldn't be shocked to see polluting industries promoting it to distract from regulatory solutions.

2. That attitude reflects your economic privilege. Not only is it harder for poor people to make these kinds of choices, living with a scarcity mindset makes you less likely to care and less able to act strategically.

There must be collective action - must.

I feel like everyone in this thread arguing about multi-threading/hypterthreading/multi-core/multi-processor as an analogy is missing the poing. The post is about how you can focus your attention on a single task only (true multitasking doesn't exist) and that you should keep focus longer instead of switching context too often.

The best-case scenario is still incredibly sordid: Minsky partook in sex acts with a young woman 50+ years his junior who was part of a billionaire's "harem" without checking her age or true consent status.

Quibbling about whether it's actually sexual assault still leaves RMS using his position, stature, and reputation to defend this still horrible "best" case scenario. He still needs to go even if you believe this is what is going on here.

I wish more places and people understood this!

I am of the opinion that this for instance might be the biggest singular reason nodejs has been successful without people even realizing it. Since “full stack” development is so in demand/popular this really limits the context overhead of switching languages and semantics between front end and back end in such a way that it can keep productivity high.

(Yes nodejs has other strengths too and to be fair weaknesses but I wouldn’t discredit this as A much factor off hand at least)
Don't blame me, I had 4 years experience when my company had a mass exodus so everyone who was left there got a salary bump (+23% for me), and of course they had to title bump since that was way past 'Software Developer'.

3 years after that, I went to work for a company that had the same thing happen and now I'm a 'Technical Lead / Software Architect'. I didn't choose the title life, the title life chose the shitty companies I worked for :(
This is more of a procedural mistake than a specific technical (Kubernetes/GKE) mistake, even if the tech stack is the root cause.

This is a capacity planning or "right-sizing" problem. In prod you just don't go and flip completely your layout (100 1vCPU servers vs 1 100vCPU server or whatever) an more so in a stack you are not yet expert on, you change a bit and then measure. Actually you try to figure this out first in a dev environment if possible.
The only part of your argument that's relevant is the part about selling personal information for profit. The rest is immaterial to the problem with unregulated industry, and in fact incorrect when it comes to the end-result of things like "political polarization". Governments and private companies are more than happy to see the mass organization and demonstrations of the 20th century turn into yelling at auntie on Facebook. Social media is the /dev/null of critical thought; a pressure valve for grievances that can be quickly assuaged by faves. The polarization of views online just makes us more silent IRL, much to the delight of our employers.
Ok but can we have a digital euro? I don't like facebook coins but something(digital money) is better than nothing.
There are different ways to connect people. I'm don't think the way facebook drives engagement does it's a net plus for society.

Bullfighting for example is also a social activity, nobody pays to see a bull getting killed, but to connect to people; and there's enough good reasons to outright ban the practice.
