It has all to do with choice of words, but of a son. He never told nurse that she can't breathe. She told here "she's having difficulty breathing" and then "No, you can't (talk with her). She seems like she's incoherent."

incoherent - (of spoken or written language) expressed in an incomprehensible or confusing way; unclear.

Only person here that is incoherent is son. "having difficulty breathing" means breathing but with difficulties. "incoherent" means talking but words does not make sense.

Reading the comments here kind of makes me wonder why no negative feedback is allowed? I mean this fits exactly into the binary world of Greta, but I would have expected so much more from this website filled with smart people.
> In fact, the whole music, video and computer game industries are evidence of the opposite

Only anecdotally to make us all feel warm and fuzzy.

It seems pretty intuitive that people just prefer the thing that costs the least utility, whether that be time or money.
It is not exactly jumping the shark as the global climate strike protests were planned between 20-27 September with her leading it. With millions of people turning out, the media will put it in the news too, so you'll hear more of it.

`borsjtschrokkende`, not `borsjtsjschrokkende`. And yes, that is `mierenneukerig` (nit-picking, literally: ant f*cking). Besides: using a word like borsjt is cheating.
Most publishers seam too have decided its knot worth employing copy-editors any moor.
I'm curious what "seriously discourage" would mean in this context, just bury the search result and that's fine?
That's the thing though. We're not in a Black Mirror scenario where you're really forced to listen to ads (thankfully haha).

If an ad plays, you can just flip to something else just like tons of people do on cable TV. If a podcast starts forcing ad plays then ad skippers will just switch to something else until the ad is done.

If someone really doesn't want to listen to an ad then they will find ways to avoid it. This is partly why piracy is so popular. It usually has little to do with price. It's just wanting to watch or listen to something without having ancillary content forced upon you in a distracting way.
I appreciate how absolutely sophomoric and naive this propaganda is. The US has played this game in Italy, Iran, Guatemala, Brazil, Viet Nam, and Iraq just to name a few of the literally dozens of foreign victims of US coups and regime changes bought about by their "foreign influence." Now the DHS, an agency thats only 17 years old, thinks a pictograph about pizza is going to somehow help bolster Americans from other nations doing the same thing?

It wont. This tactic worked for the Tobacco industry in the seventies, it worked for the cola industry in 2006, and it continues to serve diligently for oil and energy companies during climate change. This model of disinformation has also helped spread measles throughout the developed world through the anti-vax movement.

The problem is American education. You cannot spend 40 years cutting public education to the bone and turning colleges into profit mills without some sort of brain-drain. We've arrived in 2020 with a nation of citizens that lack the capacity for intelligent argument and critical analysis of ideas. This is also in large part due to the nature of how we get our information, namely as a "bleeds and leads" info-tainment format where our opinions are cultivated as a product of either 0 or 1, red or blue, liberal or conservative. The american opinion is largely an accessory of corporate advertisement in 2019.
That's religion, not church. Church is an institution. The Catholic church (and apparently particularly the Polish chapter of it) is rotten to its core. That there are good or oblivious people working for it doesn't invalidate that.
> I doubt the average mugger has too much to fear from CCTV.

Not sure if you are claiming this, but this does not mean that surveillance is not rampant. You need more than CCTVs for criminals to fear them. Sometimes you do not even need CCTVs for criminals to fear the state.
Yeah so social studies based on internet polls aren't science (see parents) and making decisions or drawing conclusions from them is probably worse than going off anecdotal evidence, because at least you aren't confident in how right you are when going that route.
I can't pay every single publisher either. When I occasionally read articles from about 5 newspapers, I couldn't (well, don't want to) subscribe to all of them.

Ads are not my main issue, the trackers and the website-bloat are. If I could trust the intermediary I'd voluntarily supply my interests in order to facilitate better ads (but there would need to be a resonably small scope of where this information goes).
> so I'm not sure how big of an issue this is in reality.

I have audio programming in mind. Not that you can't do audio programming in GC-enabled languages, it's just that's it's quite frown upon in this circle (for good reasons). I'm sure there are workarounds though.
Proto-capitalism (mercantilism and the like) is underrated imo and it seemed to do a decent job.
What I'd really like is temporary whitelisting a single domain. Just because I need to use site X for a couple of minutes it doesn't mean I want the flood-gates open.
I hope at least all their physical properties (artworks, churches, monasteries, land) goes to the state and is used for social good.
That's similar to how "free speech"* works in Germany, and you have people like crowder saying in public that "Germany has no free speech".

I agree in principle, but I think there's lots of good arguments against it as well.

More importantly than the question of whether it's legal, I'm amazed that people can still see themselves as "the good ones" after all the things they do to their fellow humans.

* In German, we use the word "Meinungsfreiheit", which literally translates to "Freedom of Opinion", not "Free Speech", so yes, technically speaking, we don't have free speech; only the right to express our opinions.
No it isn't :) As a Finnish speaker with some exposure to Estonian language, I can understand written and spoken Estonian better than any other language I've had such little exposure to. I'm not very good in speaking Estonian and I can't write it at all.
> Especially, it's very easy to pass the wrong values to functions (functions instead of final values, etc). Debugging this is very time-consuming.

I have the opposite anecdote. I use F# specifically for its strong type system and domain modelling capabilities.

A method signature in C# might look like

public static void HireHandyman(string handymanName, bool sweepFootpaths, bool waterGardens, bool emptyLitterBin, bool mowLawn)

I can do in F# as

HireHandyMan(handymanName:EmployeeName,sweepFootpaths:SweepFootpaths,waterGardens:WaterGardens,emptyLitterBins:EmptyBins,mowLawn:MowLawn)

Each type listed there is a thin wrapper over the bool type, but I can add additional business logic at the type definition and it is enforced throughout the codebase at compile time (for the most part). Is it a contrived example? Somewhat. Does it prevent me from putting the emptyBins argument in the waterGardens slot? Yes, at compile time.

I do concede the lack of first-class tooling (CLI is not enough, mediocre programmers like me like designers and GUIs! shakes cane) is one of the bigger costs to using F# in particular.

The preseevation is the benefit really. Although money laundering goes into whatever the hell will launder money period.

> Your posts actually seem like the sort of perversion that ads have inflicted on our relationship with content and how they've trained us to value content at $0.

Bingo. He's unwittingly the poster child for the devaluation of human capital.
I guess not every single ad is about Brainwashing. If that's the case of your wish, then every single company on the planet would go bust because every company would be selling something to you through ads or pitches at some point.

I hate Display ads because they're content heavy, irrelevant and suck my personal information. But podcast ads are not targetting nor using my cookie or phone id. It's just some content creator is getting paid to get the word out and in fact the podcaster would make it clear that this is an AD unlike in many other platforms where inline and native ads are common.
Her point was that politicians should listen to the science/scientists, not her. She represents the future generations and the 4 million+ recent climate strike protests.
That’s a good news. It was the worst part of GDPR.
I wonder if this is a sort of example where being wealthy relative to most of the population was a disadvantage. Perhaps they oversprayed in an attempt to make this upscale area more mosquito free than usual.
You can do a timed disable (like a pause) from the Pi-hole UI: I've done 5-minute disables to eg. get through purchase check-out flows with tight coupling to trackers.
The register will make non citizens out of citizens who have lived in the country for 30-40 years. They have to provide evidence that they were in the country 40 years ago. This is hard enough in a developed country (I mean, look at the nonsense surrounding Obama’s birth certificate), but it’s absolutely ridiculous in a country that is about 70 years old, and the period selected was surrounded by war and mass migration.

Further, the intent was clearly to disempower religious minorities because after the register found way more Hindus didn’t have evidence than they predicted they said Hindus were excluded from this (which is actually not surprising...imagine you fled Bangladesh to come to India due to the war there in the 70s. It’s far more likely you would have some sort of paperwork that you would hold on to than someone whose family had been living there for generations).
They didn't want to clash hotkeys with screen when tmux was first released.
Handguns are protected by 2A under Heller.

And as always with gun control demands, the notion of "compromise" is as slimy as looking for middle ground on abortion, or mass surveillance, or segregation. Compromising rights is a verb, not a noun.
If it's available for a fee than it's not suppression, though it is an impedance to the free flow of information. And to be fair it does cost money to host large collections of data.

Anarchism has its very own sloth of contradictions. If a society without power is established, someone will take power by force and/or guile and establish a new system of power that will not be anarchist in nature. Anarchism as a system is very instable -- read about the fate of the CNT during the spanish civil war for example.

Every system that is complex enough (societies are) will inevitable lead to contradiction. People do not act as in a model of society -- they will always find ways to break out of the model and subvert the ideal. This I think is the main reason left wing ideologies have lead to tyranny: If the citizen does not conform to the ideal of a model state, the state will need a secret-police apparatus to enforce this model.
I was comparing to Japan, and per capita means divided by population.
Kids have much more to lose from climate change than today's decision makers (most over 40-50 years old)
Yeah, it's 'borsjtsj'. No idea why. Presumably it's the closest approximation of that phoneme in Dutch, but it seems unlikely that anyone trying to pronounce the Dutch transliteration would get anywhere close to the Russian original.

Borsjt or possibly even borsj would probably be better.
From scanning it, I think that’s a biased text. Reason:

”The E.U. insisted on a guarantee, now referred to as the “Irish backstop,” that after Brexit Britain would maintain a “soft” border with Ireland, an E.U. member state.”

The backstop wasn’t the EUs idea, it is an attempt to find a way between the EUs “the EU border needs border controls” and the UKs “the border between Northern Ireland and Ireland shall remain open”.

”there were proven solutions: non-E.U. Switzerland, for example, keeps its borders, travel, and trade open with four major E.U. countries. These problems only became “insoluble” when E.U. diplomats discovered they might be used to tangle up the Brexit negotiations.

That proven solution has Switzerland sign 10 inseparable treaties that solidly link Switzerland to the EU “the sum of which makes a large share of EU law applicable to Switzerland” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland%E2%80%93European_U...)

If the UK had wanted a similar deal, they likely could have had it, but, among others, they would have to enter the Schengen area.

I think Switzerland is more part of the EU than then UK currently is.
The lack of proportional representation means that the consent of Parliament is rather different from the consent of the people.

Not since 1931 has a UK party received a majority of votes cast. A quirk of the voting system has usually given a parliamentary majority to one party.

Voters didn't specifically vote for a minority government in 2017. In fact, a greater proportion of them voted for the Conservative party than in the previous election, at which it "won" a majority.
Certainly looks interesting, but in an era where I've been conditioned to expect free content $335 is a bit steep to indulge in a casual interest.
It's really warming to me that Avid and Premiere, two applications I learned video editing on at school when I was 10, are still big things today.
We don't need a completly new system. Just stronger welfare policies (universal health care, higher education etc.) and don't let the very rich avoid the laws we already have in place (monopolies, not paying taxes etc.).

Honestly, if the Illuminati (I'm joking) could set up this world government, I've heard so much about, so that tax havens and outsourcing production to slavery can be actually stopped, that would be great.

Yeah, smartphones will be more expensive, so will flying. We might not get any produce we want right now in the supermarket and our fashion choice will get more limited. That's a small price to pay.
That is surprising given the appetite for pork in China and their high prices.
The people who bankroll her travels, invite her to speeches, and use her as a shill?
India also has a Census. The NCR is not a Census but a miserable ploy to divide people on the basis of religion and disenfranchise minorities. I say this as someone who is a Hindu and is frankly disgusted with this authoritarian government using religion to solely empower themselves.

They’ve learnt the colonial British tricks well.
Ha ha ha. The church would not have lasted that long if...
There is also the important distinction between a church and The Church. The Church (which I agree is rotten) has very little to do with the day to day running of any given church. We're almost at a point where individual churches are trying to isolate themselves from The Church.
The funny thing is the people the most adamant about quiting social media are usually the ones oversharing the most on it.

America's advertising industry is the most powerful propaganda machine in the world.

Well, social media, and smartphones in general, make people around you ignore their immediate environment--including you--, so there's that.
> That presupposes knowledge of more than one universe to even start to enumerate the possible parameters deciding the set

I think you entirely missed my point (because you didn't read the link!). You could use the universal prior, that is, you could enumerate all possible computer programs (e.g. Turing machine programs) starting from the shortest and find the shortest one that generates our universe. Now, 2^L where L is the length of such program is the prior probability of our universe.

So to determine e.g. the average value of the gravitational constant across all universes, you would measure the gravitational constant in all universes and calculate a weighted sum where you weight the value of the constant by the prior probability of the corresponding universe. The same for the occurrence of life, etc.
This is a refreshing article to see on HN because it’s not the typical clickbait “I did X and my life is changed forever” nor is it “I quit X and I’m better than you for it”.

It echoes my personal experience. I’ve gone without social media for extended periods - years. But I’ve always filled the boredom void with something else: HN, work, other websites.

Now I have a Facebook account but I have a very small number of friends and family I keep up with and I follow a small number of interests. I run out of things to scroll often and that’s okay.
Nice! Success. I too am an atheist of person gods. This ineffable oneness of the universe, though... It's got me intrigued. It's not a person. It's like, I'd imagine that most alien civilisations would have at some point a spiritual belief system aligned to it. And, I'd argue that it hits at the core of Christianity -- and holds some hope for its future. Like, wouldn't it be nice if Christianity could somehow evolve?

It's not hard, either. They just have to reject the idea that the Bible was written by God, which is farcical on the face of it. Then religion is about allegory, cultural traditions and having something to do with your kids on Sunday morning.
So basically, if you cannot find what you are looking for, use a few proxies to try the same on non-EU countries versions of the same search engine?

This girl had no choice in her life of forced luxury travel, celebrity meetups, and endless media adoration. She takes on all these burdens instead of going to school. Her life is a nightmare scenario for any teenager. We need to respect that and listen. And how dare you criticize a 16 year old, that's not allowed!
Biologist's perspective: this paper is not about the biology. The simulation performed here has zero biological interest - the point of the paper was to show how efficient and scalable their software is. This article about the paper is terrible, but honestly I feel like they should be given a pass - it's hard to justify to a lay audience that understands neither DNA nor memory bandwidth why you would choose to study something that is of no use to the field.

There's an inherent tension when doing a method development paper - if your result is too fantastical it's hard to know whether it's an artifact of your (potentially faulty) technique, and if the thing you're studying is well-understood then it serves as a good control, but it's less interesting. I suspect they chose the latter path since it requires no validation via existing methodologies.

Institutional Investors Are Watching on the Cryptocurrency Market
It is incredible that Alex Jones was correct in the end. It just refuses to go into my head. And it was also correct about connections to the highest echelons of political power and educational facilities.

We should start asking more suggestive questions about that.

"Hey Apple? How many children did you get for banning Jones?"

Not that I believe he is a particular sane or selfless individual or that anything else he espouses is in any way correct, far from it. But if deplatforming comes to bite them in the ass, I welcome the hit below the belt at this point. Because they deserve it for their own greed.

I think we just found the popular whore house for people in high positions who don't take laws too serious. There are a lot of questions unanswered.

Go for it, it's really worth the effort, even if it is a small one, with the bonus of being fun (at least for me it is). I can't imagine setting up my home network without pihole, and I'm considering setting it up at work, I manage a small network with 100 devices connected to the internet.

Sounds normal, not sure she's a shill when she's well aware. She even started protested on the steps without being bankrolled.

I'll pay with my attention, but not with my data. Radio ads are annoying because of the high volume and fast talking, but I'm not going to try to block them.

On the web, put up an add with no tracking (effectively a digital billboard) and I'll stop using my ad blocker. The advertising might be annoying, but the surveillance is a human rights violation (according to the UN).
I recommend reducing the equity stake to something like 5% now, with an expiration of 5 years.

If you want to retain a working relationship with Jim, and keep some interest in this company moving forward, it sounds like the responsibility is on you, based on the way Jim countered.

Otherwise, it might just be that you walk away and take a hit, but you gain a valuable lesson for next time. Always have a written operating agreement to define how you will both act in situations like this.
