In order to not be trivially defeatable, it sounds quite hard. You can't, for example, use sequential blocks of ids — far too easy for a counterfeiter to reverse-engineer valid ranges. Which means that you either generate them through some cryptographic signing process - non trivial and the risk of compromised keys, or just generate random guids centrally meaning there's a request/response somewhere in the production cycle to get ids, or batches of ids - also non trivial.

The whole thing sounds like it's a really obvious and simple solution at a glance, but as you dig into it it seems hard, especially for smaller players, and only shifts the counterfeiters' workload (now you need to figure out how to steal barcodes, not impossible depending on how much money you invest).
What I've seen in my neighborhood (Colorado) is the 1 gas, 1 EV car household. EV for grocery store and work commuting, gas car for camping, skiing, and longer trips. If the US started moving this route it would be a big deal, even if it's not 100% electric.

Some of my favourite works of fiction include made up languages, maybe because only people obsessed with world building (which is the stuff I like most about fantasy/scifi) would ever consider constructing a language just to flesh out their world.
If you think what he's done was easily foreseeable as possible, you haven't been paying much attention to headlines the past fifteen years.
The flip side is going straight from "The fraction of women in X group is much less than 50%" to "Therefore someone is discriminating, creating a hostile environment, socially conditioning people, and/or otherwise behaving badly—and if everyone involved appears to be behaving well, then it must be due to either someone unconsciously doing these things, or someone hiding their bad behavior, which we will proceed to expose by calling out a scapegoat, applying the worst interpretation to all the ambiguous things they do, and attempting to ruin their careers." I would say that incredible caution is needed on that side too.

In terms of algorithms: What do you want your algorithm to produce? Gender parity? A distribution that matches what would be reality if biology were an influence but social conditioning weren't? Maybe what would be reality if biology were an influence, and people were encouraged to follow their passion, whatever it is, but scrupulously avoided recommending any particular activities to particular children until after learning what their passion was? ... Or do you want it to analyze reality as it is and produce decisions that are useful in this reality?

Ideally, the algorithm would be fed enough data about the people it's judging that it could make a properly fair decision. If all the algorithm gets is "Male, 22, minored in CS; female, 22, minored in CS", then the only thing it has to go on is the sex difference, which is probably a significant one, and then we can argue about what it should do. However, if it gets "Female, 22, minored in CS, majored in math and was top of her class, has spent 400 hours on personal programming projects / Project Euler / Topcoder / chatting about data structures with her friends, has been using the Unix command line on a regular basis since age 12", that looks like a much stronger candidate—and, importantly for this discussion, a male with those same qualifications would probably be an equally good candidate. I think that, if you have the same level of intelligence (perhaps specifically the math/symbol-manipulation areas), the same level of enthusiasm, and spend the same number of hours on the same activities, then you should get roughly the same results no matter what your sex is; sex is only useful to guess at the enthusiasm and hours spent when those variables are missing from the inputs.

That's the solution as far as I'm concerned: More input data so the algorithm can be fair. It'll consider all the people who've spent 1000 hours studying and practicing programming and achieved the same level, and it'll judge them the same, and that is fair, even if it happens that 80% of those people are men. Unfair would be if the algorithm only gets the superficial data and has to guess, based on group averages, on everything important, and penalizes the truly capable women because it's unable to distinguish them from the average woman.

> One has to wonder what private reasons/results a genius of his magnitude had, in order to do that.

Is there a reason to expect that someone who wanted to investigate the laws of the composition and reactivity of matter, in the late 1600s/early 1700s, would end up studying chemistry rather than alchemy? Sure, Boyle had introduced “chemistry” as an idea in 1661 (before Newton was born), but I imagine that alchemy would still be quite active in the late 1600s as an academic “field”, with many contributors already late in their careers studying it; whereas chemistry would have been just getting off the ground, without many potential collaborators.
I realize that raisins are not safe for cats and did not feed them to my cat deliberately.

That said, I had a cat that was absolutely obsessed with eating raisins to the point where we simply couldn’t have them around. To this day I cannot understand what was going on if sweetness was not a factor.

Same cat ate the tops off an entire box of glazed donuts once as well while we were out.
I have driven my Model S about 20k miles in the last year back and forth across the US. No issues, charging only from Superchargers and at home. Happy to share my lifetime drive map from TeslaFi privately if desired, total electrical costs are under $500 for those 20k miles (and I drive "spirited").

I would never purchase an internal combustion vehicle again, and everyone I have loaned my S to had ended up buying a Tesla of some sort (S, X, 3). n=1

Dynamic JS graphs sound like a pain, I'm not a professional user of this specific website, and I don't want to learn a new dynamic interface for every website I visit. Sometimes I just want to look at a chart. User-contributed data would be of limited value on a website whose specific value proposition is that they know more about benchmarking than the average Joe. The pagination is annoying, though.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic about the "something silly" part, but do you have any examples of any games (indie, commercial or academic) that let you meaningfully impact the game world?

I think they don't exist because it's an exceptionally difficult problem, even for games with lo-fi graphics or text only. I've found it hard to find any AI projects that generate stories or plots that are remotely compelling.

Big studio game companies push "your choices matter" as a selling point as well, but few deliver.

Well, it relies on a synchronized clock, so it can't provide a clock. PoW adjusts the difficulty based on the time to try to meet some difficulty target.

In fact, if the time of nodes is not synchronized, it can cause significant problems and vulnerabilities. If time is too fast, the difficulty adjustment algorithm will think it mined too few blocks and decrease the difficulty.

If you followed some of the drama/dialog on that page (can't say I blame you if you didn't), you'd see that she isn't attending the conference, and there are other allegations (supposedly, according to one person).

Enough to sue Amazon for facilitating and profiting off the sale of products infringing on my IP, but not enough to pay Amazon to police their own platform. Policing Amazon's platform is Amazon's job and is a cost Amazon should bear. I don't have to pay Walmart for them to not sell products infringing on my IP, they do that on their own and when they fail, they are liable for my damages.

Example, my Dad published an e-book he sells through Amazon, and I'll be damned if there aren't other Amazon sellers offering my Dad's book for sale...its ridiculous.

Funny. They did this with a building on Broadway in Seattle, but set it back far enough that the section from the facade to the building is a patio. Ended up making it really cool and they get light (when it isn't raining) that makes some interesting shadows. Feel like if they use the facade as more than just "we have to keep it so put the new behind it" look then it's fine.

Show HN: A podcast/interview site focused on tech stacks and web app deployment
I recently started a podcast / interview site called Running in Production at https://runninginproduction.com.

There's 1 podcast episode and 1 text interview up on the site if you want to take a look.

I'll be honest with you, since this is a guest based podcast / interview site it's very much a community driven project and I could really use your help by sharing your story on how you've built and deployed some type of web application. This could be a small or large personal site or some type of SAAS app / service you've built.

Anyone is welcome to come on as a guest or request to be interviewed by email. So if you're using Flask, Phoenix, Rails, Node, Django, Go, Laravel or anything else -- it's all good. I've love to have you on. We'll talk all about your tech stack from development to production.

If you want to be on the site, here's 1 of 2 short forms to fill out so I can get a better idea of what questions to ask you:

- Become a podcast guest (audio only): https://forms.gle/4fmWDJWfpoBPbwNg6

- Or do an email interview (text only): https://forms.gle/oPMErBbx3njisLZs6

Also, if you want to know more about the site in general, I made a short video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wgvs30l3QpE

Lastly, just to give you the TL;DR on myself. I've been consistently blogging about technical topics for ~5 years over at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/ and also create videos and video courses. I really want to go at this 100%, so this isn't going to be a half assed thing where it drizzles out after 2 months. As long as people are willing to be a guest on the site I am more than willing to put it all up.
My advisor pseudo follows this. He does his best to bring in pairs of students that will be on _similar_ topics. (of course they are both responsible for their independent research and thesis). That way they can struggle together and find their way, it helps lesson the burden he has as idea generation now is covered and "getting stuck" is less worrisome as you are stuck with someone. As the students grow, they separate into their own thesis but the great part is they tend to still collaborate with their peer, so even by thesis end, both know each other's thesis pretty well.
My cat will lick the inside of mugs that contained black coffee - I know caffeine isn't good for cats so I don't encourage this behaviour but he definitely seems to enjoy the taste (I don't take sugar so its not sweetness he is after).
Not quite snapped, but I did lose the capacitive touch layer on my Nexus 5x sitting with it in my back pocket. Repaired it myself, during which I also managed to wreck the battery. ("Juicyfruit" smell... Definitely broke a cell.) So then I buy a new battery. Then the stupid thing bootloops a few months later, literally as I'm putting it in airplane mode leaving for a business trip. Not having a cell phone during a business trip is not fun at all.

That seems like a completely different question.

Suppose somebody does a brilliant Master's thesis and afterwards quickly writes two more good papers. He/She could get a PhD immediately at that point as far as research is concerned, but would benefit from waiting a bit longer and also getting mentorship etc. .

A person who worked and published for 10 years for all purposes already was doing PhD work for 10 years and thus can more or less staple some works together to get PhD whenever they want to.
There is a reason cats prefer meaty wet food to dry kibble, and disdain sugar entirely

This person has never met a cat. One of ours is obsessed with sweet foods like yoghurt, honey, pastries. Which we don’t generally let her have because of her teeth.
In case it isn't known artificial sweetener specifically xylitol is toxic to cats (and dogs). So things like toothpaste which has artificial sweetener for humans is bad for cat. I'm sure there are some people with cats who brush their cats' teeth.
A reasonable compromise might be one of the high efficiency shower heads that have been around for decades, e.g. the Delta. These gadgets have been around since at least the 1980s, come with an on-off switch to shut off the H2O while you soap down, and cut the flow while increasing the intensity. It's almost ideal. In fact I need to make a trip to the hardware store and pick up a couple to replace the lame heads in our two bathrooms. These types of heads simulate the mister experience but also spray the water quite intensely, almost painfully, if that makes any sense :)

Regarding energy use, it seems to me that solar thermal is the way to go; you can keep your tank pretty hot during the day and if it's properly insulated, should minimize energy use at night. If you're showering early in the morning, though, you'll probably be burning some fossil fuel, but if you can time your showers to be mid-day or evening, would be optimal.

In Phoenix, probably every fifth house has solar hot water; it just makes economic sense. When we traveled in the Middle East (mainly Israel), every house and apartment building seemed to have solar hot water. If it makes economic sense (and the tax credit also helps), people will adopt it. I'd be reluctant to support some kind of mandated regulatory approach that forces a less pleasant shower experience on everyone; as others here have mentioned, the shower is one of life's great luxuries.
