> I still don't, I look at my touchbar from time to time to do things that would take me longer to do if I had to move a cursor (checking the time, my next calendar event, controlling music amongst a dozen things)

Moving the mouse doesn't really bother me, and there are a million ways to wire functionality to keyboard expressions or in-UI functionality. I do miss my hardware volume, prev track, next track, play/pause functionality exactly because I could use them easily without shifting focus at all, even to my keyboard.

OTOH I'm not holding my breath for Apple to meet my needs, they aren't that kind of company.
Nine Inch Nails "Every Day is Exactly the Same" (2005)
This paper only shows that brain-like lab grown tissue develops Amyloid-beta plaques (known to occur in patients with AD) to combat mircobial i.e. viral attack.

There are a low of assumptions here:
(1) Organoid tissue represents human-brain. Human (and mammalian) brain is a much more complex entity to be even remotely similar to this.
(2) We do not know how amyloid-beta plaques are related to Alzheimer's Disease (AD) i.e. whether they are the cause of AD or a symptom that occurs when one has AD. All we know is the existence of these plauqes can occur before the symptoms of AD are seen (even upto 30 years before you are diagnoised with AD). Whether removal of plaques makes you AD free is a mystery.
(3) HSV/Herpes virus might not be the only cause of formation of amyloid plauqes. There are tons of other microbial infections that have been shown to cause increase of plaques.

But more research into the microbial theory of AD is definitely something that would shed more light on the interplay between microbes and the brain.

Basically yes, but the good news is there’s still plenty of time to find a cure before it hits you.
Ask HN: Can a company NOT pay out my stock options upon termination?
I was recently terminated and my company is saying that can't pay out my stock options until July (90+ days after termination). However, I can only exercise these options for 90 days after termination. How can I handle this situation?
If I make an app that posts a FB status every time you use a buttplug, I'll call it FacePlug.
Maybe US issuers were much better at on-line fraud detection and didn’t need the newer system?

Hoping someone from the industry can comment, but I was under the impression that US issuers were eventually forced into EMV, after dragging their heels, because the US became a prime market for cashing out mag stripe data from non-US issuers.
So what do you do when some shell command you run chooses to spit out a bunch of really long lines?

Emacs would freeze on me when this happens.

Is there a way around this apart from running a shell under libvterm? Or is this even still an issue under libvterm too?
As far as the Elsagate stuff goes, it's not that the videos themselves were algorithmically generated, but that their creators were driven by YouTube's algorithms to create the content that would generate the most views.
Now imagine that SSH going from a Citrix windows desktop running on a Windows 10 VM on your linux laptop. Every key press reacts in around a second. Welcome to banking "security"!

Now let's say I want to `d5}`, to delete the next 5 paraghraph. In vi(m) I can do this by telling it "hey vim, delete those 5 damn paragraph!"

In fancy VScode I have to say more like... "Hey editor, wait a sec, I'm moving my cursor over there and select a couple lines which happens to be 5 paragrahs, OOOPS, I went a bit too far, now let's go back. YES, now delete them!".

Other examples:

- "increment this number by 5"
- "delete this html tag recursively"
- "indent the next 20 lines"
- "remove all the arguments from this function call"
- etc.

Vim has a language, _that_ is the powerful part.

To be fair, thankfully VSCode (and any of the other fancy IDEs) have basic vim-functionality providing plugins.
Seems to be the same performance from which the Ruckzuck vid comes, and in that one a lot of people look stoned. Consider that krautrock is a direct descendant of 60s' psy-rock.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=ABOMrTgPNZA

This connection is especially obvious when you see the previous incarnation—Organization—in color: https://youtube.com/watch?v=_eB-sl6ZLpo

(Though I gotta say that among early krautrock my favorite are Silver Apples, who were outstanding and far ahead of their time, but sank into complete obscurity after two albums.)

It's worth remembering that COVID isn't airborne, it's transmitted through droplets, so a simple plastic panel would be sufficient. Which is basically what traditional taxis in major cities very often already have.
Well, you must then love Oracle. I mean, what you are saying is just silly. Of course the producers of FOSS want something in return, but sometimes it's not nefarious as you might imagine it to be.

It could be a strategical investment to create an ecosystem out of technology that you know the best and can influence its direction, to then sell customizations and develop services on top of it. Like MS is doing here. Or RedHat. Or Google with Kubernetes. Or Canonical with Ubuntu. And so on.
I like this. I like the writing style, I like the humility and the openness, and I like the recognition that chasing goals is ultimately an exercise in futility. You spend almost all your time unhappy because you're not yet at your goal, and then as soon as you achieve it, you're unhappy because you're not at the next arbitrary goal. It's madness, but it's basically the way almost all of us live.

I've been spending more time meditating and reading about mindfulness recently, and it's helped me become aware of just how infrequently I'm truly happy and present. I can be in the most idyllic setting and situation, and part of my brain is wondering how I can improve it, or what I can do to feel that way all the time, etc.

Why is it so difficult to turn off the past- and future-oriented parts of my brain and just be? To just enjoy this?
Wow what a mac clone! I thought these facsimile designs died out, but I guess they must sell.
Don't forget about VSCode! It's very quickly becoming one of the best free editors out there, replacing Sublime, Atom and the rest. I'm actually curious, will this be using Atom, it's own thing, or VS Code as the editor backend?

I have actually been running code-server [0] which finally allows me to have my powerful editor with all my settings and extensions and working with my own files on any device.

Indeed, the JVM sorely lacks in the reflection/metaprogrammaing department. The Manifold framework[1] picks up where Java leaves off. For instance, @Jailbreak is a badass, type-safe alternative to reflection.

We're not even porting GitHub to Azure. Our tooling is completely platform agnostic, and MSFT Actions facilitating deployment to Azure are built in the same platform and open sourced the same way that AWS, GCP and everyone else are offering theirs.

GitHub isn't driving anyone to Azure Devops, we'd prefer folks to migrate from AzDO to GitHub. The focus of much of our work is building out the GitHub platform to meet and fairly quickly exceed the capabilities of AzDO (or any other platform for that matter) in every respect
I think what was most interesting to me as I wrote this was that everybody started at nothing.

There was no guarantee of success for any of them -- it was the same empty page that all of us have to face.

And while it may not be likely that any one person will become mega-successful, there is only one way to find out.
They might not be old enough for it to matter yet, and we might see numbers approaching that 67% as people live longer.

https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/what-causes-alzheimers-diseas...

"Older age does not cause Alzheimer’s, but it is the most important known risk factor for the disease. The number of people with Alzheimer’s disease doubles about every 5 years beyond age 65. About one-third of all people age 85 and older may have Alzheimer's disease." (emphasis mine)

Perhaps if we beat cancer and cardiovascular diseases etc and see human lifespans reaching 100+ years old, we'll see close to 67% of people at that age get Alzheimer's.
The cookie law is the ePrivacy Directive 2002,[1] not GDPR. And as a user, I would much rather control my privacy preferences regarding cookies from my own browser, instead of within hundreds of different implementations across websites.

We already have P3P to allow websites to declare how they want to use your information. European legislation should have focused on leveraging these existing tools and protocols to give control to the user, instead of annoying them with endless pop-ups.

Uber: Visualizing Micromobility Patterns
Probably a few weeks more is likely (unless the primary endpoint is reached earlier, but I'm doubtful). So far they have enrolled about 790 people.
My very first splice job I did on a song was with Kraftwerk's Tour De France.

My friend and I wanted to extend the song so we could dance to it. So using a stereo system that had a cassette deck that could record from the turntable, I would cue the cassette to record, pause, then release the turntable, unpause the cassette, record the bit in the song we wanted to extend, and wash-rinse-repeat until we had the length we wanted.

This of course led to me down a long path of making beats, mixing tracks, and general electro-acoustic music shenanigans :)

Rest in peace Florian.
This is my primary concern with SARSCoV2. Seeing how HPV can manifest in cancer, how HSV-1 can lead to Alzheimer’s, or how VZV (chickenpox) can flare up later in life as Shingles.

Edit: thanks for the helpful information below!
Interesting, I did not know that. Where is that covered? I want to read more.
This is actually an amazing project. I see they have an extensive list of devices already supported. People freely discuss on HN all the time about the security of private messaging between different people online and how corporations track and use this data against us as consumers, but it seems people are incapable of recognizing and discussing this maturely when in fact the same issues are present with teledildonics.

There's a number of very popular remote control devices on the market, and the security and privacy of users is paramount, especially when proprietary apps integrate audio and video and these things could be used for all sorts of reputational damage against consensual users, exactly for the same societal reasons people aren't taking this seriously.

Having free and open libraries and APIs for handling this stuff and free universal applications which take user security and privacy seriously is critical to the advancement of teledildonics in a way which is safe for the public and doesn't take advantage of consumers.

In VC pitch lingo, Buttplug is "Signal for remote control vibrators".
All true, correlation does not equal causation, but it's still fun to speculate when it looks like there might be a relatively inexpensive path (ie a vaccine we're going to develop anyway) to success.
2FA would also have higher costs for consumers, possibly much higher costs due to customer support staff and having to reset that second factor.
get a lawyer who knows about stuff like this, and have them read the stock options agreement you signed with the company.
Another good one to read is Statistical Rethinking via https://xcelab.net/rm/statistical-rethinking/. A bit easier to understand than Gelman's book, but together, these give you an amazing foundation in modern bayesian analysis.

Cam's book, mentioned also in the comments, is also wonderful.
Once you can walk (easily) to pick up a takeout order, the value of delivery goes down pretty quickly. Not that I have great takeout options near where I live, but I'm going to have to hop in a car and it's going to take me probably close to 30 minutes to pickup an order when all is said and done. If I had good takeout delivery options, I would definitely use them now and then.
Depends on how you frame it, really. Julian Dibble's "A Rape In Cyberspace" is a oft-referenced piece here, written about LambdaMOO in the mid 90s, but still applicable to online environments today.

(CW for reasons apparent in the title of the piece)

This looks quite similar to Ghost Inspector.
I wouldn't recommend it. It's a bad analogy and if I saw someone use it I'd think they don't have a good grasp on web technologies. Cookie tracking is used to do things like persist shopping cart items without logging in, and plenty of other things users expect websites to do. It is also used in data collection, but that's more of a moral objection to advertising-based monetization than some sort of strictly-worse practices (like kitchen employees not washing hands).
The older I get the more I realize raw performance matters far less than the experience of using the machine every day. Macos is comfortable, so that's what I go with. Heavy lifting is better done with something permanently plugged into a wall.
You don't need cookies for a persistent shopping basket. If I want a persistent shopping basket, give me the option to create an account and store my shopping basket for later use. Otherwise, just nuke my shopping basket when my session cookie expires. This is a non-issue.

Of course it's not visitors who want persistent shopping baskets. It's sellers. And I don't really care about what they want. On ~100% of the websites I visit, I'm the visitor, not the seller. And given that webshops were a thing before persistent shopping baskets were a thing, I'll wager they can do without.
I don't think one should extrapolate this study on a lab-grown human-like tissue to mammals like rodents in the first place. Extrapolation to humans is even more bizzare.

I'm not saying "don't fix societal issues." Some people lean on the "fix societal issues" line to the exclusion of all else though. They let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
I could see this being useful for tracking COVID data on government websites. Ontario only posts the current days stats for 24hrs until the next day. You could extract it into a spreadsheet with this.

I'm also curious if there are some use-cases for tracking releases of new content on various sites, similar to how CouchPotato combines TV show releases and tracking them on torrent sites.

First observation of small peripheral channels for NET protein transit
Early in the epidemic: impact of preprints on Covid transmissibility discourse
Stolen content in the furry subculture is actually easily enough dealt with. Given a little bit of work, you can sniff out who drew the original work and piece things together. (This goes notwithstanding that artists actually enjoy knowing when their work is misused so that they can take the appropriate steps to report it, so there's an incentive at play to track this kind of thing down.)

Also, because the corpus of source material is comparatively pretty small, you can use image hashing and a distance metric to match something you see to its source. It takes more effort to draw something than it does to snap a photo, and the entirety of E621 can fit on a single SSD.

This is quite unlike headshot photographs of people. Authenticating the photographer is almost impossible, and because of the low-effort nature of photos, it's infeasible to have a control data set to match with observed data.
Yup! If it vibrates, we support it. The XBox controller (and other rumble gamepads) are probably the most widely owned vibrators, so hey, why not?

I'm still trying to find a bluetooth electric toothbrush with a controls API. Most of them just have timers. :(
I didn't imagine Xbox controller fit in the butt.

Full title: "Elon Musk says Tesla's Autopilot AI is so far ahead of the competition it's like comparing Google to other search engines"

Like most of Musk's self-aggrandizing, this is likely untrue, but also not measurable in an objective way.

Waymo's AI hasn't killed anyone yet, so by that metric at least, Tesla is behind.
My fear is that an officially supported marketplace for selling extensions would be appealing enough that important extensions would put all future development effort into their marketplace versions and cease development of local versions.
You should definitely start a gofuckme campaign.
AFAIK you're talking about 3DS and under 3DS the code is treated like a PIN. So if you want to revert transaction protected by 3DS, you're out of luck, because you acknowledged it yourself. Now if your transaction is not 3DS (or PIN) protected, you can claim that your card was stolen and bank should revert transaction and issue new card.

So it's about who's responsible. Without 3DS or PIN a merchant is responsible. With 3DS or PIN a client is responsible.
But it is not just third-party cookies that are the issue. If that was the case it was easy to solve. But consider if you buy some books or sex toys or whatever from an online store. Do you want the store to sell information about your purchases to third parties? That is what the "cookie consent" is about.

Good food is good food. Some good food happens to be vegan. It isn't hugely "special" especially these days, when Indian food is reasonably popular; this, incidentally, debunks the notion that vegans all eat weird concoctions of soy meant to resemble meat. I'm sure some do, but a curry which happens to contain no animal products is much more appealing.
I'm sure it's unlikely now because of the failures you mentioned but Elon said they are aspirationally targeting an orbital flight with SN5 or SN6 before the end of the year. Elon had earlier said he thought it was possible to get orbital flights in 6 months but that was in September and was certainly also aspirational.

It looks like SN5 will be doing the 20km test flight (whereas they probably planned on doing that with SN4 originally but then SN3 was destroyed in the pressure test failure).
There is correlation between zoster vaccine and herpes simplex.

This has correlation to lesser the outbreaks or make them stop altogether. I can attest to that.

I would say Google’s answers answer about 10% if the questions they say they answer.

I have seen so many time Google simply extracting the wrong paragraph of the text saying exactly the opposite of the gist it’s amazing.

The worst thing is that there’s no way they can measure the efficiency of these answers directly (I.e. they can only measure how many times it wasn’t clicked as opposed it was).

By the time users realised Google had outright lied to them with the answer the team that was shipping these answer widgets is already cashing out from shipping that project.
