Wow, kudos to this guy, he did a lot of work to uncover these scammers and still uncovering more. I was attempted to be scammed by phone but quickly figured out it was a scam, IRS never calls, but older people bite into these scams. I think more should be done to prevent these.
>Now that I think about it, why did they even rush Stadia out?

The reason for that is as you say, they're playing the long game here. They know it won't make money, not today, not next year, not in 3 years. But in 10 years it could make billions. And getting actual user data and feedback early while you're building the architecture is probably worth a lot.
I used to use Instagram quite a bit. Got really frustrated with the vapidness and pointlessness of it. When I gave it up, I just felt like this weight had been lifted. No need to look at how cool others’ lives seem to be, just time to live my own and enjoy it for my own sake rather than sharing.

These days I prefer to use social media as a form of dialogue, almost like forums, than anything else. The focus is on ideas and conversation.... which is why I actually really enjoy HN.
> Part-time is the future, folks, accept it, embrace it.

I don't have problems with having part-time employees, but quite difficult to see it being "the future". There are some people who want part-time possibilities, but in my experience majority prefer full-time employment. Also usually full-time employment is also desirable for employer.

However often those who want part-time deals, are quite talented etc, so it makes sense to make arrangements with them. Also sometimes part-time is good match for the employer as well, if the workload matches that for some reason.

Yeah, the method you had to use where I'm from is to know where you had to get off, then ask the bus driver when you hop in whether they're actually going there - then they'd call out your stop, usually.

That's good. This does seem to assume, a bit too strongly for my taste, that spirituality is only contained in the nothing/non-thought.

For another model, I see the way science and spirituality were integrated in the early days of the scientific revolution by folks like Kepler, Mersenne, Kircher, Descartes, Leibniz, Hooke, Newton, etc.

All adopted a spiritual frame of (roughly) "there is a universal harmony" and a scientific frame "I can articulate and understand this harmony through empirical data and mathematical modeling". The spiritual side deeply motivated them as individuals to conduct science. The data inevitably showed that their original ideas of universal harmony weren't quite right -- but that there was ample evidence for the real universal harmony, which were taken as both scientific and spiritual insights.

I unfortunately can't find the source either, but I read something about you having to take vitamin D suppliments for a while before the change could be detected in the body, ie. if you are already sick it does not matter to take suppliments where you only see the benefit after weeks or months. This seems to support what you read.

This is a personal experience. But I've been struggling with constant throat infections, tiredness and coughing every winter for years (I live in a Nordic country). Had my 25-Hydroxy-Vitamin D(D3+D2) checked in both autumn and winter 2 years ago. In October it was ~ 110 nmol/L and in February it was ~ 30 nmol/L. (Deficiency is around 50 nmol/L).

Seeing the seasonal difference was a bit of an eye-opener. And I have been on high dose Vitamin D supplements this winter. And all of my "winter" issues have more or less disappeared.
I remember playing this on DOS with my dad. It was one of the games that got me into computer gaming, so thank you for that.

Papyrus also had Indy Car Racing which I also enjoyed.

I made the conscious decision to just make a list of everyone’s birthday I cared about before I deleted FB. I often hear people say, “I wish I could leave Facebook, but how would I know when anyone’s birthday is?” which I don’t see as an insurmountable task.

Since in your case you didn’t save them before deleting it, I wonder if it would be an interesting opportunity to randomly message people you haven’t spoken with in a while, to put some birthdays in the calendar.

The op is talking about compacting GCs and Go's isn't a compacting one.

Go's GC is a variation of a regular mark and sweep GC: the GC starts exploring the heap to find all reachable memory, and then clears the unreachable one, meanwhile compacting GCs move the reachable memory from one place (the “from space”) to another (the “to space”), which become the new heap. Theses two garbage collectors famillies are completely different.

BTW, calling go's GC “state of the art” is debatable at best. See : https://blog.plan99.net/modern-garbage-collection-911ef4f8bd...

The onus is not on me, as I am not making broad unscientific claims about the nature of reality or the human mind, simply because we have a small portion of knowledge. It is precisely the Elephant problem that I linked to; you are making assumptions about the fundamental structure of the mind based on our current narrow understanding of it. This is almost by definition unscientific.

The justifiable position would be to say, "based on our current understanding of the mind, our metaphorical model X is the best model we have created, but it is merely the best answer up until now, not the ultimate solution."
I suffer from allergic asthma and tend to catch colds quite frequently.

This year I started supplementing with 2000 UI of vitamin D daily and it's as if my immune system started functioning normally, in the last 10 months I only caught a really light cold that I could barely notice, whereas before this the winter season alone would bring 2 severe cold or flu episodes that would knock me down for several days.

I can't really say if it's the vitamin D, or other changes in my life, like losing some weight or walking more, or the cold exposure I've been practicing (primarily because I heard it burns calories :-)), it might be even placebo, I haven't isolated these variables well, but my wife and close ones are amazed by the transformation. E.g. 3 weeks ago everyone in my household got the flu, except for me.

So now I got everyone in my household on vitamin D, especially b/c of this coronavirus scare. During summer time we might not need it, but the sun doesn't see us during winter. And vitamins are probably no defense against the coronavirus, but a deficiency could amplify the damage (as vit D has a role in our immune system) so it's best to ensure that we aren't deficient. Also we tolerate large doses of vitamin D, so it can't hurt.
So cold viruses do better in cold weather and in northern latitudes with fewer sunlight hours we may expect the combination to result in more cold in winter time?
No. What I’m trying to say is that any comment on a public forum does not exist in a vacuum and acquires additional properties based on where and when it is posted.

As a layperson it feels to me like research in the "megadose on vitamins to prevent illness" area is kind of tainted by the legacy of Linus Pauling, who was no doubt a genius in his fields and whose published literature advocated the position that vitamin C megadose would reduce cancer deaths by 75% ( https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/07/the-vitam... ).

I guess we know how to avoid the trouble -- make hypotheses and test them. The trouble there is that the placebo effect is not a bad thing -- if you're doing things which you think will improve your wellness and it works, who cares whether there's a chemical mechanism? It works!

Absolutely, it's certainly auspicious when your life work is an act of devotion. And also it would be too strong for my taste as well to say devotion and contemplation is only contained in some sort of nothing-apart-from-something. To harmonize them would be to realize that nothing can be apart from Nothing (and so all is allowed).

Some sources in Swedish: https://www.naturskyddsforeningen.se/igenvaxning-gifter-hot and https://www2.jordbruksverket.se/webdav/files/SJV/trycksaker/...

Biodiversity depend on diversity in environment, and as I understand it, more so in colder climate zones. In the last 100 years the decrease in farm land, grazing areas, and gardens is the primary cause why about 1 300 species is marked as endangered here in Sweden.

When small plot of open land in the middle of spruce forest (European spruce) get overgrown here in Sweden, the result is first a stage of small and thick bushes until later the trees reclaim the once open area. Spruce is the dominating tree in the southern part of Sweden.

If you are asking why spruce is so dominating you would have to ask a botanist, but I would suspect the temperature, the soil and access to water as being the usual suspects for why one type of tree can dominate an area.

I should make it clear that what I describing is the situation in Sweden. Rain forests are unlikely to have the same need for diversity throigh multiple small biomes in the same area. The US is pretty large area so I can't really say if any of its area suffers similar to Sweden, but I would suspect that Canada do.

The above linked sources (and references research in those) also point that diversity in how farming is done is also a key part of the decrease biodiversity. High yield farming of the same plant year in and year out is directly harmful to diversity. To enable this kind of farming people adds pesticides and fertilizer, both which links to a decrease in bio diversity through multiple factors. The redirection of water to more concentrated areas also pile on the problems for biodiversity. The more uniform and concentrated the farming become, and the more spill over of pesticides and fertilizer, the more damage we do to nature. Those aspects is true not only for Sweden but globally.
I use Firefox on iOS. Most third party apps give you the option to switch so things like my rss reader, email client and calendar all open in it. The problem is they don’t really have enough granular control over things so they are missing key features like containers and debugging tools.
>"If you worry about the environmental impact of printing a sheet of A4 every single day, you’ll be surprised to know printing one page per day would produce approximately 10 grams of CO2 in a year. In contrast, using a mobile device for one hour a day produces 1.25 Tonnes of CO2 at the end of the year, taking into account network and server infrastructure energy requirements."

This sounds like an apples to oranges comparison. Does 10 grams of CO2 in a year take into account the CO2 to produce and transport the paper so you can print out 365 pages in a year?

If you like NileRed I think you'd enjoy "Applied Science" and maybe "Cody's Lab". "Scrap Science" is pretty good, I felt bad for the guy after spending a year failing to make heavy water. I spent a couple years in a chemistry lab and that guy's "bathtub chemist" techniques make me cringe but it all generally works out, well, aside from failing to make heavy water. The "Hydraulic Press Channel" is very tangential but semi-related, and "Practical Engineering" and "Steve Mould" are a little light weight but enjoyable. "The Backyard Scientist" is mostly "things that go boom" along the lines of turn of the century Mythbusters, but is still kinda fun.

By "RI Lectures" do you mean the channel with the actual youtube name of "The Royal Institution"? If so, I think the across the pond competitor is "MIT OpenCourseWare" although I find it far easier to download MIT OCW videos from archive.org than trying to find and stream them and keep track of which I've seen.

I've had the interesting experience of learning Linear Algebra from Strang's textbooks a long time ago, then watching his lectures to refresh my memory. You can do something similar with Automata Theory and Ullman via a MOOC, or at least you could a couple years ago.
