I’m a long time Linux user and I’ve recently switched to a Chromebook (I wanted a huge batter life).

I intended to install Linux on it, but ChromeOS is very mature nowadays and it supports both Android and Linux apps (even graphic ones, like VSCode). I’m sticking to it for now. The experience is incredibly polished.

As someone who buys 90% Kroger-brand stuff I'm wondering what you have against store-brands?

Don't get me wrong -- I'm with you that co-branded products like "Only at Target" KitchenAid are pretty much trash but store-brand stuff doesn't really seem that different to me than any other brand on the shelf. Kroger brand pretzels are dope, their Oreo clone is garbage, c'est la vie.
The one subscription i've been tempted by is the Tiki Cocktail Box:

http://tikicocktailbox.co.uk/welcome.html

You get some bits for making tiki cocktails. Each box has the things for one cocktail, but as your collection grows, you get superlinear growth in the number of possible combinations. That, and the fact that the stuff in the box keeps for a good while but isn't immortal (assuming you can dispose of mugs somehow), means you shouldn't suffer from an overload of stuff. Also, it only comes every two months.

Sadly, it seems like it's on indefinite hiatus.
Thanks! I agree with your assessment of the Mutex. Improving that is included in the follow up work.

I could have kept working on this for many more months... but my collaborators were starting to get grumpy and telling me to ship already :)
This is a misapplication. Usually the law is for headlines like "Will this city be the next silicon valley?", claims against conventional wisdom.

Here, the author is questioning conventional wisdom on pets. Her question could also have been phrased as "Are we wrong about the health benefits of pets?"

Betterridge's law would produce opposite conclusions on both headlines. If you can formulate it that way, it's not a good application of the law.
We have a trader joes + costco right next to each other. Between both of those, I can get the best of both worlds.

Yes you do have to be very careful with costco, because you end up just buying way too much. I have specific lists that I go in, and try not to veer from it at all.

But saying most are "barely cheaper" I don't agree with at all. Almost every item I buy at costco is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. Sometimes half the price. Cheerios, bread, chocolate chips, some fruits, most vegetables, cheeses..

Shopping exclusively at costco will just get you into trouble yes- but there are significant savings if you are careful about it. And the quality is generally very high and reliable.
I feel exactly the same way as you. It boggles my mind that Finder is the best OSX has to offer for file management after all these decades. I find windows explorer to be far superior and more intuitive in almost all cases.

What really boggles my mind is how difficult it is to simply get a text string for the current path in Finder - https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/252171/mac-finder-...

I absolutely love that in Windows Explorer, you can simply click the navbar in the top to transform it into a selected/highlighted text-string path representation (Pro-tip, type cmd in this navbar and hit enter and a DOS prompt opens in the specific folder you are in). Windows explorer also provides a "Copy Path" button in the navbar (that can also be accessed via keyboard shortcuts rather than some gymnastics of right-clicking and holding option keys down).

There are definitely things that OSX does better than Windows, but Finder absolutely infuriates me. I much prefer Files in Ubuntu over Finder.

> I am not sure what you want to convey. Simulated violence is base of any game really.

No, it's not. Simulated hardship is, and that comes in many forms. And this explains many more games than the simulated violence model.

> Heck, chess is literally a battlefield where soldiers are scarified to acheive victory. Playing chess doesn't make you violent or toxic.

Games don't make people like anything. They normalize things and provide frames of reference, though. Choosing what games to encourage and what viewpoints to adopt changes the way we reason about the world, and we should ocnsider that.

There are no legal implications for doing this based on jurisdiction. As one of the other commenters points out, the cost of a Big Mac varies widely depending on your geography. This is an example of McDonald's adjusting their prices to their local market.

As an aside, it is illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, disability, age, or gender. This product is not considering in any of that information. It simply considers an IP address and a user agent.
The question is not about the support that independence movement has, but about unreasonable and unjust verdict. No sane justice system would imprison someone for separatism, removing them from office should have been the maximal measure a civilized country would apply.

The article briefly touched on this. One company attached GPS trackers to its packages, but they were stolen anyway and the thieves were not tracked. It didn't explain why, but if I had to guess an outfit as sophisticated as this is probably smart enough to plop a GPS jammer in their trucks when moving around the hot nuts.

Minecraft involves hiding from things trying to kill you at night. Roblox has guns and violence, it's just not bloody or realistically depicted. It's cartoonist violence. Slenderman is a survival horror game so by definition it's violent. Mario Kart takes the fun of racing games to a higher level by enabling you to attack other racers with weapons.

Kerbal Space Program is a good counter example. It's a sim game. I think sim games are fun. But if I'm with a large group of friends I'd pick Smash Bros. over Kerbal.

The blog itself is a law blog, not a political blog, so I understand that it is just putting out a very focused bit of information. (Which I will believe when I see reputable news source coverage.)

I want to emphasize just how bad the spam filtering has gotten. I didn't realize it for a long time, but now that I check the spam folder regularly I've realized that a LOT of legit emails get flagged by Google. Even ridiculously obvious stuff, like a non-automated reply to an email that I initiated sometimes gets flagged as spam.

>Don’t feed them commercial pet food (especially dry).

Absolutely correct. Don't feed any pet commercial pet food! Feed raw. I recommend Darwin's Raw Food, but there are many others out there.

I accidentally gave diabetes to my beloved cat Penguino. He was eating standard dry (and occasionally wet) cat food for the first 6-ish years of his life. Suddenly he dropped from 13 lbs to 9 lbs in about a year. Fast forward four years and thousands of insulin and vet dollars, he is much healthier and on a raw diet, but will need insulin 2x a day for the rest of his life. Mishandling his food and health is one of my deepest regrets. And it was almost entirely avoidable, had I had the right information.
There is no good reason to think pre-programmed computers are going to outperform human drivers when it counts. It's a prediction about the future, someting that has not happened yet. It's most likely wrong. No amount of marketing hype will change that.

There was probably about 100 pre-facebook social networking sites not mentioned in this article. Even Yahoo.com had profiles and was sorta proto-social networking.

I always thought Friendster was the interesting one, because they had cornered the SF hipster market at least. Friendster died because it was too popular and they couldn't get it to scale, so when people couldn't login or get their profile to load, they stopped using it. I think with competent technology it could have been Facebook.
At least plane crashes are usually mechanical and not software, or it's straightforward software (hello MCAS), investigating a machine learning's system behavior ("what input lead it produce this output?") sounds like a more expensive problem.

Violence is always implied when it comes to redline separatism concerns. Beijing has consistently stated that all options are on the table for HK. The question is whether the idiom should be interpreted as an alarmist "warning" for the possibility of immediate action on the ground. It shouldn't, otherwise hundreds of millions of Chinese nationalist on Weibo eager for HK to burn would be creaming their pants.

>more than happy to employ actual violence against its own citizens before

Implying China is "happy" to employ violence is the kind of absurd, sensationalist characterization seen in this BBC article. As if 6/4 didn't literally put the country on the brink of a civil war. No one was happy at what was done. Also I think it should be recognized that the imagery of Chinese violence in western audience mind is going to be tied to Tianamen, especially with the crushing idiom. This is an outdated heuristic, China spends more money on (non-lethal) domestic security than (lethal) military, no small part due to reverberations from 6/4. There are thousands of Chinese protests every week, the state is very good containing public disorder non-lethally now. There won't be tanks on the ground but sometimes it feels like many western observers perversely hope it would happen to validate their biases. Compare 1967 Detriot Riot where the National Guard was called with modern riot protocols or the Dakota Pipeline Protests. China is either going to wait this out, or contain the problem with non-lethal methods.
There's still some complication here. Do you carry options to expiry or trade them before if their value skyrockets? How often do you rebalance?

Prince Bonesaw had a journalist murdered. Most of the outrage was from fellow journalists. Otherwise there are very few people in the west who know/relate to people from Saudi Arabia.

If Xi ordered a massacre in Hong Kong, it would alienate tons of people in the west who have relatives there. It would alienate countless others who see Hong Kong as a westernized place. It might even reignite a McCarthy-esque red scare.
Video games provide an escape hatch to reality. You may have a personality that is attracted to violent mechs and gunslingers, or you may like the whimsy of being a warrior in a MMORPG. This doesn’t mean that you want to bring that into your real life... it’s important to remember that.

I hold the opposite view to yours on this subject. By allowing an escape hatch, video games are allowing kids to live out their wild fantasies in the digital world. And doing this socially makes it a more socially acceptable activity and a way to bond with other kids who are attracted to similar things.

Ask HN: Need help with this startup idea regarding decentralized/blockchain bank
PMC bank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punjab_%26_Maharashtra_Co-operative_Bank got sort of bankrupt leaving people with the option to withdraw only around INR 10,000 monthly or so causing a huge outrage and making life really hard for the account holders.

So I came up with this idea to develop a bank on blockchain or a decentralized bank over which nobody has complete authority thus making people's money safe and under their control.

Could you please help me with this? Like how to proceed & what to keep in mind?

> "Computers and algorithms" is just a synonym for people

I don't think we can say this anymore. I wouldn't say that the makers of AlphaGo were the decision makers for any of AlphaGo's moves. You could perhaps say the players of the games AlphaGo trained on were. When it comes to AlphaGo Zero you can't even say that. At most you could say that the people were policy makers or tweakers.
It's just unbelievably, mind-bogglingly inefficient, and no credible plans have been put forward to change that. Scaling up the current power consumption and waste generation to Visa-levels of transaction, a Bitcoin powered economy would consume 38X the entire worlds' generation capacity of electricity and yield 132 million metric tons of e-waste per year. All to replace what Visa does today. Just Visa. Not MC, Amex, UnionPay, Discover, etc.

> Minecraft involves hiding from things trying to kill you at night.

The most popular version is on peaceful by default.

> Roblox has guns and violence, it's just not bloody or realistically depicted. It's cartoonist violence.

Sure, but for every conflict minigame there is a game where you ride a dragon collecting rainbows. The first goal is to build and explore; physical conflict exists as a consequence of other decisions, not as a foregone conclusion.

> Slenderman is a survival horror game so by definition it's violent.

Not really, it's a game about terror. There is very little human-vs-human commentary.

> Kerbal Space Program is a good counter example. It's a sim game. I think sim games are fun. But if I'm with a large group of friends I'd pick Smash Bros. over Kerbal.

Sure, but even Smash is such a watered down experience of violence. And it feels like that shows in its community which is MUCH less awful than more realistic and serious fighting options.
>That's just false. One of the most popular games in human history, Minecraft, completely destroys this notion. Every resource is infinitely renewable and available in great supply.

One of, if not the, most popular modes in Minecraft involves scarcity, rare materials being found near monsters, and requiring you go to what is basically the christian idea of Hell to retrieve them.
I see! No worries.

I understand what you’re saying about changing lines/models now and I do agree this happens. I experienced this recently when attempting to replace some 2017 Merells. Even Walmart does it with their cheap yard shoes, I suspect.

> Make it better rather than bigger

Yes! I wish more developers would heed this. There have been quite a few apps that I started using when they were new, simple, and focused. Then feature after feature gets added and over time the app becomes less attractive and less fun to use.

Jamie Zawinski once said every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

These days that could probably be updated to say every app expands until it can share to social media.

Apple's strength has been hardware/software integration for a long time. If you have an Apple product, you can be reasonably sure that if you connect it to another Apple product, it will work well with minimal work.

Linux's biggest weakness (for the situations where one would use an Apple product) is hardware/software integration. If you have a Linux laptop for a while, you've probably spent hours tinkering with hardware drivers, and are still not happy with the results.

System76 seems to at least recognize the problem and be trying to work on it in Pop!OS, which I'm excited about.

"Node for Rust" is a good way to think about it!

From what I know about Akka, I believe Akka does more than Tokio. For example, Akka manages a supervision tree. I believe Akka is trying to be more of an actor system where as Tokio is just trying to provide an asynchronous runtime for Rust.
I'm not sure I'd call it an argument, but the ignorance part was right (note upthread this began with a question as to whether anyone had attempted to packet capture on what NewPipe is sending in a session).

There isn't evidence other than the user in question's account apparently got banned and they claim to be using NewPipe. So it's one possible avenue of further investigation if one tries to figure out how Google would even know to ban a user that was using a tool that allows connection to YouTube anonymously.

I'm not interested in having a self-driving car until I don't have to pay attention to how it's driving. If I have to be alert and paying attention the entire time, then it doesn't provide a benefit.

That said, I'm totally fine with a self-driving car that gives up when it can't handle something. As long as it can safely remove itself from traffic and come to a stop (e.g. pull over to the side of the road), then alert me that I need to take over, that's fine.
Binary computing is never going to emulate wetware on a reasonable scale. A few neurons? Sure. It's going to take a different pardigm, likely biological.

Don’t feed them commercial pet food

Nearly every dog in the country is fed commercial dog food (few people have the time and money to prepare food for their dog), and with few exceptions, those dogs seem to live a healthy life. My last dog lived to be 14 (pretty good for a 70 lb shepherd mix) and lived entirely on commercial dry dog food. (but it wasn't cheap grocery store food)
