The problem is that we need to do both. We can’t escape climate change if everyone on the planet is driving a large gas guzzling SUV. So we need to both change to electric cars and also do things like this oven.

In addition, it’s bad to say to developing countries “well, you have to make this change for the good of the planet, but we don’t have to make any change, even though we produce much more CO2 than you do.”
This HN post is about relays not exits.
I agree. This tournament is the first time I can understand both the commentary and the moves the players are making.

As a player who only understands the rules it’s easy to understand why a player would blunder their queen after forgetting that their knight was protecting it and the commentary helps you understand what they should have done. It’s sorta like why the show “High Stakes Poker” was so entertaining vs tournament Game Theory Optimal poker play.

There are other options for phones if you want to run 3rd party unapproved apps. I use an iPhone partially because there is less garbage in the App Store.

Are you upset that console manufacturers control who publishes games or software on their platform? None of the current (or past) major consoles allow third-party unapproved software (without bypasses), leading to the same situation.
Indeed -- quite the timely response: Allow people to turn off ads advocating racial justice and equity.
Why not a 3.5% as the credit/debit cards? They are doing well with that commission in the web. Apple is already charging you a developer fee of 99USD yearly for publishing apps on their store. You also needed to buy their hardware. With this even giving them 12% of your business is too much.
We thought about suggesting spotify playlists while zoom classes are live... and zoom manages to screw with other app's audio sources as well somehow.

Give it a try.

Start playing any form of music through your phone.... mp3... youtube... spotify app... and then open a zoom meeting.

It distorts the sound of the music so much and I can't figure out why they would do that or what purpose it serves.

Probably just poor coding.
That person is sampling the top posts instead of sampling all posts. I don't think that's predictive. Particularly anything where you sample extremes (maximum, or top N) is susceptible to extreme fluctuations.

He wants traffic, metrics such as "# of votes per post submitted", "probability of hitting the top page", etc. To model a successful post you have to also model an unsuccessful post.

My take is that HN always has activity because the sun is shining somewhere and that addicts are using it at every hour (but few from midnight to 5pm)

My favorite time to post for maximum traffic is 7am EST or so because at that point Europe is in full swing and the U.S. east coast is waking up. If you catch a break from the Europeans then you get a swelling audience across the U.S. and can hang near the top for a long time.

The highest karma user on HN is in Brazil, which might be very good to work the Euro-American audience.

Unless one believes that stereotypes are entirely absent from or irrelevant in progressive countries, not necessarily. It's well established that females in Russia view STEM more positively [not just other possibly more-chauvinist-in-Russia professions more negatively] than in many other countries.

Since it's palpably absurd to attribute this to differences between Russian and other European female biology, I think you've just refuted the argument that biology is likely to be the sole factor determining career choices. Given that we have just proven that cultural attitudes do shape career choices to some extent, perhaps they are even partly influenced by some people's insistence that the only actually problematic attitude towards female participation in their field is considering women equally likely to be suited to the job?

I think Google's internal network was unencrypted in 2013 [1], allowing the NSA to tap it. After the Snowden leaks showed that they were being tapped, Google moved to encrypting data on their internal links. I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon made a similar decision.

If Google banned ZeroHedge for it's own content and not its comments ... would that be different?

While I'm willing to 'forgive' or not associate a site with it's comments to some extent, I do think that if the comments are largely of a particular type... at some point if the site isn't moderating them I feel like they are ok with them to some extent. And it sounds like ZH has a great deal of control over those comments / who comments / isn't just leaving them to their own devices.

I'm asking less about ZH itself and more along the lines of "Can you hold a site to some level of responsibility (even if not legally, maybe just morally) for the content they choose to host?"

If others want to trust other authorities they can buy Android.

The problem with allowing third party stores is that doing so makes social engineering attacks impossible to stop.

I don’t want to prevent others from trusting other authorities, which is why I think an alternative in the form of Android is essential.

But we need a platform which is not open to social engineering attacks because a lot of people need it.

> 12% covers the overhead costs of the stores and still allows a healthy profit for the monopoly owner.

What’s so special about 12%? How would it cover the costs for every platform? Why shouldn’t capitalistic companies in a capitalistic market charge more (like 30%)? Book publishers and Amazon routinely take significantly much higher commissions. So why is the App Store to be treated badly while letting the other industries and companies continue their practices?
I think it was an obvious outcome that “some people who have more money don’t have to sell wood anymore,” since there’s much less deforestation in developed countries than in developing ones. The specific outcome of how much and where is very much not obvious.
Case studies aren't science, and aren't meant to be. They're clinical medicine.

They (not necessarily all applying to this one) illustrate that:
(A) This fucking cool thing happened.
(B) This weird presentation (or lab finding, or imaging) turned out to be, we're pretty sure, X.
(C) This weird presentation or case was successfully concluded with treatment X, with the caveat that, you know, we can't prove it was the treatment that did it.

When other docs are searching for "wtf is this weird presentation?", finding a case that shares other clinicians' reasoning and a possible diagnosis for that weird presentation is super helpful. Some things are too rare for your immediate colleagues to have much insight.

Case studies are professionals kibbitzing with one another, not science. They may give rise to science, as when an unconventional but logically sound therapy appears to have worked and prompts someone to test it in a proper trial.

Why do leaders think lying, or obfuscating works so well? My personal experience has been when you let people know the facts and act on them, it is amazing what happens. Every time that bad news is delivered to my team directly, be it the loss of a major account, a financial crisis, or even a legal problem, the collective intelligence of the team often finds the solution. I've had interns rescue accounts (oh, my uncle is the CEO there), engineers solve legal problems (what if we just asked if we could move service X over to them and finish the contract with that instead of unneeded canceled service), and incredible suggestions on cost-cutting instead of layoffs. None of these things happen when the team doesn't know because some executive was afraid of telling the truth.

Bountysource is changing their ToS to keep unclaimed money
Starting July 1st Bountysource.com will have a new section (2.13) in their Terms of Service which basically lets them keep all money on issues that have not been resolved and claimed after 2 years: https://www.bountysource.com/terms

If you have an account with them then you probably have gotten an email already but this is the section in question:

2.13 Bounty Time-Out.
If no Solution is accepted within two years after a Bounty is posted, then the Bounty will be withdrawn and the amount posted for the Bounty will be retained by Bountysource. For Bounties posted before June 30, 2018, the Backer may redeploy their Bounty to a new Issue by contacting support@bountysource.com before July 1, 2020. If the Backer does not redeploy their Bounty by the deadline, the Bounty will be withdrawn and the amount posted for the Bounty will be retained by Bountysource.

---

At least they seem to be giving you the opportunity to move the money onto other issues until July 1st but it would be a lot better if they just returned the money (even if with fees removed) to the sender like most other bounty platforms (gitcoin, issuehunt) seem to do it.

As someone who has seen a lot of startups, altcoins and other internet projects pop up and fail this kinda seems like a last attempt to get some money before they shut down. Not that I have any proof that this is indeed the plan, but their recent outage without any communication about it as well as the lack of communication on their issue tracker makes me think that the service is no longer actively maintained. Additionally claiming ETH bounties and withdrawing it has been impossible for a while now so they will basically keep all old, non moved ETH bounties after July 1st which nobody can claim. All in all this paints a pretty bad picture.
The terms haven't changed, but their enforcement has evolved recently. That's the merit of having vague enough rules; you change the interpretation over time without changing officially changing the terms.

Also, said enforcement isn't equal across apps offering similar services (ie Basecamp vs Hey)
Yes, I think that it is an easy signal that Microsoft (and GitHub) believes racism and prejudice is worth an adjustment in language. It’s much harder to actually perform systemic changes and I’m sure people would do plenty of gnashing of teeth about any significant movement, such as if Microsoft had grants only available to BIPOC (black/indigenous people of color, who have unique hardships in discriminatory systems in America compared with Indian or East Asian people who have and continue to face discrimination but they do not largely have existing government sanctioned forces to disenfranchise them from their birth to their death.)
The trending/discover algorithm changed before Microsoft iirc.

My method is very similar, but I find even just a tablespoon of yogurt from the previous batch is enough to inoculate 1 gallon.

We also drain off a good portion of the whey using a nut bag to make Greek yogurt. The leftover whey we put in smoothies.

I LOVE being able to control how much sugar is in it, and it’s way cheaper than buying individual packs. All in it costs us right around $2.50 for a gallon of yogurt at home.
Apps would be designed to use the shared space, or provide the option to the user whether to or not. Not all apps would have to provide this options but I suspect most open source apps would.

Dark Matter Experiment Finds Unexplained Signal
But what is an array anyway? It's just a bunch of (contiguous) memory. That bunch of memory has to start somewhere.

Since an array is just a bunch of memory, by pointing to the beginning of that bunch of memory you are pointing to the entire array.

Here follows a more complicated version:

What the tutorial is not telling you (and now you will hate me for doing things more complicated) is that in C, the alphabet variable is (or can be) treated as a pointer.

If you print the value of alphabet as an number (casting it to unsigned int, for example), you will see that is a position in RAM. That position is the beginning of the array. When you do `alphabet_pointer = alphabet;` you assign to alphabet_pointer the value of alphabet.

If alphabet array starts at address 0x1234, then basically you are doing

alphabet_pointer = (char*) 0x1234;

Also note that doing `alphabet_pointer = alphabet;` is the same as doing `alphabet_pointer = &alphabet[0];`, being alphabet[0] the first element in the array.
I feel ya, but that's not why I use facebook.

I unfollow friends who mostly post political stuff, even though I generally agree with them. I'm there for pictures, the shared calendar and the messaging. I'll check out memeorandum or NYT for news, and will sometimes read political stuff on reddit or twitter.

Yes. Japan is generally considered part of the "Eastern World."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_world
Yes. First you attribute what Japan is to how the US rebuilt it, when in fact this society has thousands of years of history before the US. Sure we can't deny US influence after WW2 and how integrated they are in the global economy, that doesn't make it a westernized country.

> everyone self-identifies as an expat

Of course they do. The question is how does everyone around you see you.

It does make a bit of a difference if the job lead to switching countries (mostly "expat"), or switching country lead to getting a job (mostly "immigrant"). But this detail is buried pretty deep, people will most likely first find out where you're from (by asking, or accent, etc.) and that will determine their first and longest lasting opinion.

Black Americans in the UK are considered expats while white Bosnians are considered immigrants.
We're in the midst of an unprecedented effort to time-shift wealth/money/value.

Never before in history have we attempted to store wealth at this scale for things like retirement.

In a world that was continually growing at a pretty solid pace (i.e. since WW2) that was sort-of conceivable because the bigger next generation effectively created more space for that.

But now people live, and retire, for muuuuuccchhhh longer.

And sovereign-wealth funds, retirement funds, insurance funds, etc, are much larger.

And population growth is slowing (and with, financial growth).

Some very hard things to square coming up.
Here's how I handle lack of motivation mechanically:

- I spend time asking why, and allow myself to answer that question before rushing into an action

- I allow myself to answer "I'm tired, I want to do nothing"

These two help me work on goals and rhythm. Goals are where you intentionally want to go, the why. But if you don't have useful habits, you won't get there. That's rhythm.

Ignore goals, and you might work a lot, but have no control in where you're going. That might lead to feelings of helplessness. Ignore rhythm, and you might not learn to do the work. Instead of actually working towards where you want to go, you might juggle goals, and dream about the future.
Honest question, why is 30% cut gross?

I'd argue capitalism has handled these issues in other realms successfully in the past.

Before it was railroad monopolies. It took a decade or two, but Washington brought antitrust action against them. I'd argue the delay is a good thing within reason as we see how new industries evolve. Too long and you strangle commerce. Too short and your forced changes strangle innovation or are ineffective.

The simplest is forcing Apple to allow 3rd party app stores. That may have the unfortunate side effect of making apple's App Store less secure if the fees charged are forced down below what it costs to do good security reviews. But it's not like any % revenue guarantees 100% perfect app reviews.
I don't really understand the argument that these ads have value to the people that turn them off. You might be able to make a case that the ads have some good by passively informing people and getting your message out but anyone who's turning them off I would imagine has pretty much made up their mind.
Or just use instant pot. I use it to make a small batch (1/2 gallon) of yogurt everyday for years now and it have never failed me. Thought I add the culture at 110F.
I’m aware they maintain forks and patches for many packages. However development resources are always precious! Now openbsd needs to devote them to backporting from rapidly evolving llvm. Effort that could have been spent elsewhere.

Also note that backporting may be unfeasible in some cases I’m guessing because changes to latest llvm/clang may be under the new unacceptable license. Openbsd might need to make their own modifications.

I’m not making a value judgement whether it was good or not to not accept new llvm license. Just making an observation that this is going to be a drag on the project.

A link from Swiss Policy Research? This doesn't seem too persuasive.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_Propaganda_Research

> Swiss Policy Research (SPR) or (before May 2020) Swiss Propaganda Research is a website launched in 2016, which describes itself as a "an independent nonprofit research group investigating geopolitical propaganda in Swiss and international media". The editors of the site are unknown, but they claim that "SPR is composed of independent academics and receives no external funding".[1] The site has been widely criticised for spreading conspiracy theories and especially so during the times of the COVID-19 pandemic when it has become a source of misinformation and disinformation internationally.[2] The site has been categorized by some as a tool of propaganda.[3] It has even been noted that, contrary to what the title suggests, the contents of the site are likely created outside of Switzerland.
