I wouldn't call it a win condition but an attention metric would be a good start. You want your players to get engaged, aka. "have fun".

And come to think of it, it is not so different from ads and it is a bit scary. An AI able to provide an exciting game of DnD is going to use a lot of psychological manipulation, which is great when playing a game, much less so if you someone is pushing an agenda.

BTW, I know more about video games than tabletop RPGs but let me tell you that video games manipulate you constantly, for your pleasure. Illusion of choice, random numbers biased in your favor, the last bit of life that is worth a lot more than the rest, enemies you don't see that are slowed down, there are lots and lots of these. And these are just the tricks that make the game more enjoyable, not the dark patterns of games with in-app purchases.

They've already been on a plane with hundreds of other people flying to the US. If they're contagious, it's way too late to avoid spreading the disease. (Which is not to say they shouldn't continue to quarantine themselves -- just that flying was foolish if they were concerned about being a vector for introducing the disease to the US.)
Some smartass artists have actually written their silent compositions as rhythmically structured rests. That is, something like "silence in 6/4 time, as three quarter rests and three eigthth-triplet rests". It's intentionally absurd, but as the minimum-information notation would be the full-measure rest glyph and the number of measures of duration, the deviation from this is undoubtedly creative content that is copyrightable on paper.

That kind of thing is completely unenforceable with respect to performances, but in written musical notation, copying the specific notation pattern could be infringement. If you write "4/4, tempo 80, 91-measure rest", that's maybe violating the 4'33" copyright. If you write a score for a full band or orchestra that shows rests in each measure for each instrument, with key changes and tempo changes and such, you're just retelling the same joke in a different way.
Not true at all, like all paradoxes its loosely defined and not quantified, so should not be taken too seriously. Demand I crease assumes that demand is perfectly elastic, which it isnt for ant real world case - price of shoes dropping 100x would not result in demand for shoes going up by same amount. In fact many demands are totally inelastic, I.e. food consumption does not change much, because people have to eat the same amount of calories.

Secondly the price of a good is made up of more than its base resource, it's people's time, arketing, opportunity cost etc.
So a 2x increase in resource efficiency of shoes manufacturing does not result in shoe price dropping 2x.

It doesn't fix the problem of having to drive 40kms a day to go to work and the fact that many people don't live in the city because it's more expensive.

So now you have two problems: you have to convince them to bike and to live in smaller houses spending more money
I hope sometime in the next week you have the time to evaluate this conversation from an alternate perspective - even to just "cosplay" that perspective, not to try and adapt it permanently - and understand why your comments can come across as extremely out of touch.

>For example, become a hairdresser.

>I wouldn't hire you if you looked homeless...You don't look homeless because you're showering as a squatter? I wish I hadn't given you any advice at all.

Empathy is not a constrained resources. It's one of the only things humans can generate in infinite supply, and that's worth taking advantage of.

Also, it seems to me OP was not saying they can't get benefits in the UK because the system is too complicated. They said the system was complicated before summarizing the complexity by explaining that without work they will lose benefits, and they are concerned they won't be able to find work. It seems disingenuous to me to read into that as OP saying they can't figure out how to get benefits.
It says, "Looking for like-minded peers," so I don't think they're trying to challenge themselves.

Sounds a lot like the theory was accepted without being verified because it stated what they (the ones pushing for austerity) wanted it to say. Not disagreeing with your list but maybe it's worth adding the politicians/decision makers involved to it.
Elixir is a fantastic and small language. Jose Valim kept it reasonable.

It just have so much depth with concurrency. The actor model is amazing and easy to think about too.

I'm not entirely sure they overlap completely but the concurrency model is superb. I will probably only use Elixir for web application from now on (unless they don't have packages for certain API). Chris have made web development possible and many awesome people have contributed (POW package is just lovely).

Cars can certainly share cycle paths, they just need to ride slower, the paths need to be wide, and they should be easy to enter and exit in the case you need to ride around groups of cyclists.

Pedestrian areas, yes - people usually don't commute through there. Sidewalks vs. cycle paths vs. car lanes - not a good idea.

When people propose path sharing among pedestrians and cyclists, they often mean cyclists slowing down to speeds (e.g. 10km/h, or even 5-7km/h), which they would find unacceptable for cars, even if multiplied x3 (try telling drivers to go 30km/h so they share with cyclists going 15-30 km/h).
A lot of people have psychological hurdles to even using a cane. Something like "I raised N children, I powered through my career, I have been a strong independent human being as far as I can remember, why should I use a cane?"
Sure whatever.
Roads are public spaces in Italy, only the state (the city) can charge for public parking

And major cities are already charging as much as they can

That's why people with kids usually move out, that's why they need cars, that's why telling them to go by bike is unimaginable
HN does not have private messaging, and OP has no contact info listed on their profile. So your suggestion would not be possible.

I still remember a friend of mine telling me that he had been genuinely scared at one point in an adventure. Like watching-a-horror-movie scared.

(Water Weirds. Damn near invisible snake-like water elementals...) Good times!)

It's not even a matter of being equipped to handle it imo; all signs also point to COVID19 not being as serious as initially thought and far more mild than expected.

Administrating the test for it is both expensive, and time consuming, so the gross number of known infections is likely to be substantially underreported because of selection bias (why run expensive RNA analysis on a blood sample if the person is having mild cold symptoms?). There are probably a bunch of other confounding factors, such as most people getting it are probably asymptomatic or just think they have a typical cold/flu. It also appears to be non-lethal to children, as opposed to seasonal influenza.

In simple gross numbers, more people die in car accidents every day than the current worldwide totality for this virus. Comparing against US CDC stats, it isn't even remotely close to statistical estimates for flu deaths so far this year in the US alone(~16k).

My suspicion is if you concede that gross numbers of COVID19 infections are substantially underreported, the death rates fall into line with typical flu, maybe marginally worse.

The reasonable response to this is what people should already be doing for influenza: practice good hygiene, stay home if you're sick, take caution when interacting with at risk populations to minimize their exposure, etc.
Say what you will about errors in spreadsheets but an underappreciated benefit is that they enable this kind of post-hoc analysis/error checking.

The transparency of 'it's all in this workbook and you can trace it yourself' means finding mistakes (and there are always going to be mistakes) and finding the logic behind the conclusions (because there is always going to be debate about methodology and cleaning practices) is a million times easier than if the analysis was done in code.

It may be the case that you get more errors per hour in a spreadsheet than in code, but I'd bet 5:1 that errors in code based systems persist much longer, due to the lack of transparency in what the machine is thinking.

it would be nice if we could encourage low-consequence social distancing now, instead of being mindlessly told not to "panic". we'd have more leeway to keep running the parts of the economy that require social contact.

Assange's defense is arguing that he is protected against extradition to the United States (to be tried for publishing WikiLeaks materials) by a 2007 UK/US treaty which bars extradition for political offenses. The prosecution is making two separate counterarguments:

- The treaty cannot in fact prohibit extradition for "political offenses" because this was not included in an earlier 2003 Act of Parliament which also set forth rules around extraditions.

- Assange's publication of the WikiLeaks materials cannot be termed a "political offense" because according to a narrow reading, it did not have the objective of an immediate near-term change in government or its policy, and also because of jurisdictional hair splitting.
Genuinely curious, not judgemental here. How did the usually-much-better-paid people feel about this? Did they complain that their salaries were now closer to the lesser paid people?

Like, I could see somebody not feeling like that's fair so I'm wondering how the morale was impacted by that.

> Nine out of ten software engineers agree: it's a miracle anything works at all

There was a beautiful rant about a decade ago called something like "everything's broken all the time and nobody cares." The gist of it is that all software is written by people. Anyone who's written software knows that it's usually riddled with hidden corner cases, unfortunate tradeoffs, rushed deadlines, etc. Software is also moving into critical spaces like aerospace, medicine, banking, etc. The thrust of the article is that we're trusting more-and-more critical infrastructure to a discipline that anyone who's worked in knows is untrustworthy.

Does anyone remember the link to the article? I've often wanted to re-read it and share it with people, but I've never been able to find it.

You might be interested in the Gravity Research Foundation[1]. It was founded in 1948 by Roger Babson, who also founded Babson College. Babson described gravity as "Our Enemy Number One" and blamed it for the drowning death of his sister. He hoped the foundation would lead to the discovery of an anti-gravity material.

Have you read the previous articles about the Assange hearing? That will probably provide the context you're missing.

The short answer as far as I have understood is that the Assange's defense is arguing that he can't be extradited to the US because the extradition treaty between the US/UK forbids extradition for "political offences."

The prosecution is arguing that the treaty is not actually law, and that the UK's domestic laws on extradition do not forbid extradition for "political offences."

Did they change the Title or Someone submitted it as this? The article is now "Chiplet Momentum Rising". And no where does it suggest Chiplet saving or extending Moore's Law.
I have felt this pain for sure, but only really once. This is because, in languages with strings as paths I tend to use string manipulation to do operations on paths, but given that virtually all of my OsString usage is paths, which have specific manipulation functions already it’s lesser.

This is also why the interface isn’t so rich, there just hasn’t been a lot of demand. That said I think some things are in the pipeline?

The US has a lot of clout in the world and exports its laws and culture abroad pretty heavily. Countries that have tried to outlaw Coke or Cigarettes are usually sued into the ground by large US corporations and, when that fails, the US has used sanctions to back up the accessibility of US products.

Basically, America's crazy overreach forces our laws onto other nations - this is actually one thing that really frustrates me about corporate tax loopholes, that overreach could be trivially used to force better international standards for corporate VAT taxes there just isn't the political will (due to lobbying) to get it done.

The threat of WebAssembly is that it may encourage more sites to require users to allow client-side code execution to work. For those of us who aren't trusting enough to allow this, it means that the web gets smaller even faster than it already is.
pyGeno has been recently ported to python 3. It allows you to play with genomes, proteomes, exomes, etc.. locally, in python and with a simple interface. You can use reference genomes or create you own (ex: patient specific) from a reference and sets of mutations.

It's available on github and pypi (pip install pyGeno)

If you read the article it covers that.
As an ex-Catholic, all the churches I was a member of growing up took charity and things like this very seriously - there were many immigrant families that came to our churches and we would find them families that would let them stay with them until they got on their feet.

It is, however, unfortunately not universal. I recently tried to drop off some extra Christmas toys I had mistakenly ordered on Amazon to a local Catholic church and they absolutely refused to take them and distribute to a needy family. I was floored.
Who said it doesn't add any overhead?

I've found my past cofounders at hackathons like Startup Weekend and in general, around tech events and meetups focused around startups and entrepreneurship. From there, we worked on fun side projects together and eventually started companies with each other.

It isn't the worst thing ever to be a solo founder. In fact, I'd recommend you reframe your goal as, "I need to find someone with domain expertise in X, Y, or Z," instead of "I need a confounder." You're very likely to find someone who can help you with a few hurdles who might not necessarily be interested in having the weight of a company on their back. It's also less of a burden for you too since you can take your time vetting and won't be jumping into a "marriage" as it's often related to. ;)

Out of curiosity, what stage are you in? What skillset do you have? What areas could you use some extra hands in?

The point isn't that it should be easy to do terrible broken things like this. The point is that you will encounter these things in the real world and have to deal with them in some way. Rust's OsStr[ing] let you do that. If you really have a burning need to create files whose paths are not valid Unicode you can do that in Rust but you will have to jump through some hoops. I don't see that as a problem.
I think that is the one people should watch. The 1000x1000x1000 atoms analogy. But then again he hasn't touch on the economic issues of Moore's Law

What's going on here?

The article doesn't call this issue a "security bug" anywhere in the article. This and ZDNet's article don't claim this is a vulnerability or bug, but are reporting on the relative novelty of malware targeting 2FA apps.

The article doesn't even claim Google Authenticator or third party apps should mitigate it, or that third party apps are any better at it. The first three paragraphs and the last one of this comment are just railing against some strawman. There are 0 claims about vulnerabilities or security weaknesses in this article.

Finally, I frankly find your claim about open source apps being bad ridiculous. What's the alternative, never trust indie developers, only trust the big corporations? Also: the blanket "Allow unknown sources" has not been a thing since Android 8.0 - you have to select individual trusted sources (e.g. F-Droid, which actually has a superficial volunteer review process). You can't buy a new Android device which forces you to use blanket unknown sources anymore unless you really try.

I like contrarian arguments on HN as much as the next guy, but I only like those that actually respond to what the article says. At worst, the article's use of the ZDNet is too opportunistic to drive its other valid points.

I like the demos a lot, it is easy to understand the idea from them! How hard was it to write the browser extension and how well does it work for the different sites?

Obviously the main challenge, as other mentioned, is that not all of the data is present on the frontend. Also, user cannot permanently change the app, since just the DOM is changed and that is not persisted anywhere, am I right?

But the whole idea to be able to peek "under the hood" of an app and customise/edit it sounds very appealing to me! I am actually working on the open source project that has that aim, to "understand" the web app from within.

But of course for that we had to go with a bottom-up approach, so we are building a DSL for describing how a web app behaves: https://github.com/wasp-lang/wasp

Would be happy to hear your thoughts on it!

From the article (as well as other places I've read similar things).

"Why did so many young adults die? As it happens, young adults have the strongest immune systems, which attacked the virus with every weapon possible—including chemicals called cytokines and other microbe-fighting toxins—and the battlefield was the lung. These “cytokine storms” further damaged the patient’s own tissue."

The more robust immune response was a large cause of the increased mortality.
