You'll have to buy my words- but taste wise (based on my surveys too) it's the 'best' they have had (mostly city dwellers I'm talking about).

Yes, you don't really need sunlight whatsoever. I was myself shocked until I recalled high school biology concept of genotype and phenotype i.e. the genetic structure that manifests itself given the right physical conditions (at least of plants.) As for the plants' nutrients, here's a classic- Teaming with Nutrients: The Organic Gardener's Guide to Optimizing Plant Nutrition, by Lowenfels. I was amazed to find how complex, yet simple plants are.
Ahh, that makes sense! On my phone at the moment but will check out the video too, thanks!
I use ECC and mdadm+LVM+ext4. I haven't had any issues yet, but this thread is making me wonder if there's some data integrity problem that I'm setting myself up for.

With RAID6 I can have 2 drives fail without data loss. It does take several days to rebuild when a drive dies, so maybe that's the ZFS feature I'm missing? If the concerns about "data integrity" are really about time until a disk is replaced, then it makes sense. Otherwise, what's the data integrity concern? Ext4 is a journaled file system, which I thought was the equivalent of ECC for filesystems.
>Why can't I have terms on my website that say how you can use my information?

>- Personal data

So there's a couple of things in play here. You can't (generally) copyright facts - "Cthalupa is a Rocket Surgeon for the Space Force since 2001", if true, would not be something that I could get a copyright on.

The second thing is that terms have to be agreed upon by both parties. If you give me information without us coming to an agreement on terms, I can't be bound by them. If you just put a link to a TOS on your website and don't require people agree to it before giving them access to data on your website, we did not enter into a contractual agreement.

Remember Stanford physics professor Shoucheng Zhang?

"The close timing of Zhang’s death with the USTR report’s release — as well as the same-day arrest of the CFO of Huawei, a Chinese telecommunications company now under fire for sanctions fraud — has fueled doubt within Chinese media that the scientist’s death occurred of his own accord."

It says old showering reduced self-reported sick leaves but not illness days. So it's not conclusive it has real benefits.

I guess lots of HNers shower cold, they like hearing it having potential benefit so they can feel good about themselves. Lots of confirmation bias here. The top voted comment doesn't discuss TFA, but just how great cold showering is.

In the study, a 90-seconds subject died, most likely not because of cold shower, but you never know, without the the experiment, he/she probably would have lived. His/her family members probably blamed cold-shower for it.

Dr. David Sinclair advocates cold-showering, said it increase brown fat. But the evidence he cited[1] (Lifespan page 110), the short term cold exposure is 4 hours, the temperature is probably lot colder than cold shower, so it's doubtful a 30/90 second cold shower help growing brown fat.

Having written at least one tool in Tcl/IncrTcl, widely used within our company for chip-level verification, I would tend to disagree with you.

Using a standard Tool Command Language to control your EDA Tools, is a wonderful concept. Tcl's numerical handling leaves something to be desired ([expr 1 + 1]), but in other aspects, such as node/list processing, it is stellar.
> Though python has in so many ways, usurped it

Funny you should mention that. Python's standard GUI system is still based on tk, and from a quick look at the docs you can even run a tcl script from inside Python.

But the proposal does not attempt to force a different moral framework on people.

It takes as an input your moral framework and objectives, and the proposed output are actions that are in line with that framework and objectives.

I have no idea whether a system like that would work in practice, but I think there are analogs to apps that help people achieve fitness goals. These apps probably aren't going to change someone's mind about whether to make fitness a priority. But if the person has already made up their mind that they want to make it a priority, the apps can help suggest routines and exercises that help them achieve their goals.

Yes, and I am a customer. I own a Macbook, and I would love to use iMessage on it, but doing so would mean losing all of my messages as soon as I pick up a different device. That makes iMessage (and most Apple services) completely useless to me, a paying customer.

Their decision to wall off iMessage actively hurts their own customers by preventing them from seamlessly communicating with the most popular mobile OS using modern technology. They get away with it because they're Apple and they make good products, but that doesn't mean I have to think it's good.
The Blaze is a pretty worthless news source, and this article is a good example.

This is a sweeping corruption case against one of the biggest names in SF politics, Public Works director Mohammed Nuru. The allegations mostly involve Nuru bribing various entities to direct money to his friend's business, on one occasion with an actual envelope full of cash.

But The Blaze largely uses their article to highlight SF's homeless problem and poop-filled streets. The only useful bit they provide is a link to an actual news story at SF Examiner. Might as well save some time and click over to that directly:

Building a Simple VPN with WireGuard with a Raspberry Pi as Server
When the very natural human desire for retribution is not satisfied by the law, people will obtain retribution outside of the law. This is how you get people torn apart and burned by angry mobs. Civilization thus requires that the law act to satisfy that desire for retribution.

Because the desire for retribution is nearly universal, we can tell that it is in our DNA. It clearly offers a selective advantage. It works.

Retribution is the desire, but notice how it very effectively creates both deterrence (don't want to be torn apart by a mob) and incapacitation (can't commit crime after being torn apart by a mob). This is why it has the selective advantage.

So, unless you want brutal violence as a system of justice, don't oppose making the criminals suffer. People need to see criminals punished, and they will take matters into their own hands as needed to ensure it happens.

The music app is also really slow to boot up. Ten years ago it was automatic. Just a huge performance regression.
> Our dislike of feeling like a noob is our brain telling us "Come on, come on, figure this out."

Maybe I'm projecting from my own social anxiety, but I believe most of the negative sensation of feeling like a noob is being seen to not know something.

People want to come across as valuable to others and one way we do that is by offerring expertise. If we are seen to be noobs, it implies we may be less valuable to others because we don't know a thing.

Unfortunately, being a noob is a necessary precondition to actually learning a thing. It's very hard to learn without putting yourself out there in some way and trying. So there is this tension between wanting to be comfortable with looking like an amateur so that you can immerse yourself in the kind of environments where rapid learning happens, while also wanting to come across as an expert at other times.
>Are those [ToS] legally void now?

They were pretty much legally void even before this precedent was established. They are only valid when they don't violate any existing U.S. law. Any authority assumed beyond that is completely false.

>can the court force me to revert that change?

No.

UX Investing Equals Better Business
They want search engines to index their profiles and provide organic search results links to their site, but then those same sites will require you to sign in when clicking a link to another public profile. You can search for that 2nd profile in Google and then view it without signing in, but not by clicking internal links. I've experienced this with Quora, LinkedIn, Instagram, FB and others. They want to have their cake and eat it too.

> One of the usual requirements for the Supreme Court to even hear a case is that different circuits have conflicting rulings on a matter.

That's not a “usual requirement”, it's one of many factors that can weigh in favor of the Supreme Court exercising discretionary appellate jurisdiction (and it's one that weighs very heavily in favor of it, even when no other favorable factors are present, since federal law meaning the same thing everywhere is an important principle.)
> Spotify's user interface is so much better, i can't understand how anyone would prefer Apple Music.

I've been very unimpressed with Spotify's iOS and iPadOS interface lately. I was OK with it for years when all I would do is either (1) tell it to play one of my playlists, or (2) find an album via search and tell it to play that.

Lately, though, I've been using Spotify to listen to music during timed activities. I know I'm going to spend N minutes on the activity, and want to queue up N minutes of music. So before starting the activity I go through my playlists picking songs and queuing them, or thinking of other songs that I'm the mood for, searching for them, and queuing them, trying to queue a little over N minutes.

Should be easy, right? From the song listing in a playlist or search, queue the song and keep a running total in my head of the times. Occasionally pop over to the queue view to check the total time.

Nope. That doesn't work because the stupid thing does not show the song times in playlist listing, search listings, or any other kind of listing I've found. The only way I know to find the length of a song is to start playing it and then look at the playback display which shows time elapses and time remaining.

Well, that's not quite true. You could also put the song by itself in a playlist, because it will show you the total length of a playlist.

The partial workaround is to make a new playlist, add the songs to that instead of the queue so that I can at least see the total time, and then queue the whole playlist when I've got my N minutes in it.

People have been asking for them to fix this for at least 5 years [1].

> These eggheads (very) occasionally move to other firms and see similar returns. Of course rentech then sues those other firms for all the profits they make. And they win.

Not true at all as far as I know.

Name one member of RenTech that went else where and made similar returns; I don't think you can because its never happened as far as I know.

The closest I can think of is Pavel Volfbeyn and Alexander Belopolsky leaving to join the Millenium fund.

Their performance there was so poor even not comparing their performance to what RenTech did so much so that they were let go even after Millenium settled the lawsuit with RenTech that allowed them to stay at Millenium.
> This is almost weirder. If LinkedIn wanted to force users to sign in to view profile info, would they be not allowed to do that because some company had signed a contract that implicitly assumed access to that data? If someone writes a web scraper for my site, and I unknowingly change my site in a way that breaks that scraper, can a court force me to revert the change?

LinkedIn has long wanted to have their cake and eat it too - they advertised that data as being publicly accessible and allow google to index specific user pages but then attempt to restrict other bots from crawling it.

If you have private data behind a login there isn't an issue here - if you have public data but want some people to login before viewing it (or not be able to view it) then that's where this ruling comes up. So, this mostly hits sneaky SEO folks and dark UX patterns that rely on tempting someone with accessible data and then pulling the rug out from them at the last minute.

If your website places data outside of authentication then everyone should be able to see that data... I'm curious to see the specifics around

> Surely I'm not reading this correctly. This would seem to suggest that websites are not legally allowed to prevent bots from crawling their sites. Lots of sites have ToS preventing such things, are those legally void now? Are captchas on public pages illegal, even if you request the page 8000 times in a second?

though - DoS attacks are clearly illegal, but with this precedent there's going to be a lot of back and forth to see where the line between DoS and scraping falls... and I think that makes this precedent a lot weaker than the headline would have you believe. A company can still threaten to drag you through a lot of litigation by accusing you of malicious page requests, it'll take a few cases to define where that line needs to fall.
Wow, Pritzker is on a roll. Legalizing pot, reviving horse racing, now defending diabetics. Why can't my state have a good governor? Do we need to send a bunch of former governors to prison first? I'm willing to do that! Heck, I think most people would be fine with Greitens in prison...

That's because the drug manufacturer has to spend a billion dollars performing clinical trials which might still fail. Even with some research already performed, this is still a huge risk. Not to mention the fact that the research still needs to be turned into something producible and consistently deliverable to the patient.

We (in the UK) have an existing system to control this - the warrant system. For the police to search your house, they need to go to a magistrate and provide the reasonable grounds. I would suggest this system works fairly well - I'm sure there are cases where it falls down, but generally the judiciary fairly polices where it is considered reasonable.

I'm in favour of basically every form of government snooping on an individual - whether that's watching your internet activity, tracking your car through ANPR cameras or spotting you with facial recognition - as long as you need to get a warrant to track someone.

The issue seems to be that the police can adopt (some of) these powers arbitrarily and with no due process (and in the past because intelligence agencies operate by a different set of rules). It would also provide an effective limit to the volume of people being tracked in this way, due to the overhead of acquiring a warrant.

Of course, there also needs to be a system to provide oversight and check that only legally authorised individuals are being tracked.
Exactly this. They are very different systems.

Flutter renders onto a "canvas" and has a completely custom implementation of "native-like" views for each platform. They need to reimplement everything about platform views from scratch.

React Native lets the native OS render actual native views, but lays them out and controls their properties using Javascript. You get the native behaviours "for free", but you do sometimes end up in the lowest common denominator position.

Notifications have fine tuned controls on both iOS and Android with schedule Do Not Disturb features and varying levels of priority (iOS has 3 tiers). Plus per-app controls to disable them from annoying apps, which in newer versions of iOS prompt you before they turn on, making them opt-in.

It's essential for communication apps (texting, email) and useful for breaking news or a simple highlight of big news on WSJ/NYT on your activity feed, so you don't need to open either app to stay on top of big events if you're a news junkie like me.

I'd personally go as far as saying push-notifications + the activity feed is very underrated feature of smart phones and has become a core part of people's day-to-day lives (which plenty of technologies can't say).
