Your point about biases aligning with the field is interesting. I think it depends on how "generalized" a field is. "Economics" for example, allows exploration of both pro-capitalist and anti-capitalist perspectives. However, social science has been subdivided into many narrow fields like "gender studies", which include presupposed assumptions. If instead these same subjects fell under a single broader field called "social science", then there is room for academic exploration both in favor of and against such assumptions.

We probably both agree that individual bias cannot realistically be eliminated. However, I feel that despite biases, individuals shouldn't practice disingenuous academic behavior. As a quick example of this, I'll offer that sociologists regularly claim there is a significant gender pay gap without performing a multivariate study that controls for various confounding factors. If they exercised more rigor and held a sincere mentality of truth seeking, they would explore those obvious contradictions to their assumptions more readily, and also welcome the same explorations from their students and peers.

I think intolerance for different opinions is broader than just professors though. It's also campus administrators (https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/16/opinion/liberal-college-a...) and the students themselves (https://www.thecollegefix.com/shock-poll-most-students-oppos...). If this intolerance persists or worsens, the outcome will be that anyone who disagrees must self-censor and express blind faith to avoid negative consequences. That's not academic freedom, but rather religious coercion.
Ask HN: Should I move to London and open an business (as a founder from EU)?
I was planning to move to London and open a ltd company in the UK but the pandemic happened. Now I don't know when I'm going to be able to do that (considering we're in the middle of the pandemic) or if it's a good idea anymore. Brexit, IR35, London being expensive and Covid in the UK.. the insecurity adds up. I'm reading that many people are moving out of (or have already left) London due to the pandemic. I'm from a EU country that doesn't have a good ecosystem for entrepreneurship and I want to leave the country for personal reasons as well. My idea was to be in London for at least 6 months per year (for taxation reasons). After December 2020 it will also become harder to open an Ltd as a EU resident because of Brexit.
From what I've read (and I've read quite a lot) it is going to be a problem if where you reside is different from where the company is located. So I'm trying to see where to move that is helpful to the business but also somewhere I like living.

My second option was Berlin and opening a UG, but I'm reading of many hurdles one has to jump with a German company. Harder to close if things don't go well, more expensive to operate, more regulations to adhere to, more bureaucratic processes etc. I've thought of Paris as well but I've read there's a lot of bureaucracy/hurdles that makes things hard for business owners.

TLDR; It seems that UK ltd is way more straightforward and the ecosystem and taxation is easier to understand (documents in English certainly help). On the other hand many people are saying you shouldn't found a company in the UK right now because of all the aforementioned reasons.

Any advice?
If you can hang your clothing in a somewhat ventilated space, it is usually nicer to not completely dry your clothing, but hang it up slightly damp. This saves not only some energy, but gives you less wrinkles.

Also, if you want to iron something, it better be not completly dry or you have to wet it a little bit for ironing.
I find myself moving further and further away from searching for recipes altogether, blogs especially. I spend most of my time researching pastry recipes and techniques but it really seems like everyone online is just copying each others content and padding the post out with weird stories and pep talks which transparently exist for page ranking.

I’m a huge fan of cook books for formulas and recipes and then watching YouTube for technique.
Same thing with the "leaf" icon on the Nest thermostats, although I do like the occupancy detection shut-off feature.
OT question, but what the heck is a keto cereal? i tought keto means no/low carb. and I mean everything in cereals has carbs. I mean classic cereals use tons of oatmeal, fruits, differnt types of wheat, joghurt, etc.. like everything with carbs?! so basically the bread and butter ingrident of cereals is oatmeal which has like >60% carbs with other types of carbs?!
The fact that there even is an "industry rate" is evidence of price fixing, if not by the legal definition (which may require explicit collusion) then by the layperson's definition.
As long they are buried in an airtight vault or have their remains launched into deep space it should be fine.

If you wash them and then leave them to dry for a few days, that should be safe. The virus dies when exposed to fresh air; how quickly, that depends on temperature (a few days in winter, a few hours in summer), but err on the side of safety and give it a week. The high temperature of the washing machine, the soap, and drying for a few days, all of them combined should kill the virus almost certainly.

Also, you don't need to literally kill all virus particles. Reducing their number already reduces the probability of getting sick. A certain amount is needed to attack you successfully; a lonely virus particle is mostly harmless. Also, the virus cannot enter your body by being in the clothes your wear, only if you touch the clothes and then your mouth/nose/eyes.

tl;dr - yes, if you wash the clothes and leave them dry for a few days, it is safe
The follow up studies on this are also quite interesting, especially the one with the "unreliable tester". There are many factors that go into individuals' decision making processes, and trust is a big one.

In my opinion HN is the gold-standard of online communities and it's being managed pretty well despite it scaling to what it is right now.

I wonder more leanings from HN (specially on the moderation front) can be applied to newer social platforms.
You know how in the police procedural dramas the detective has to tell people that they aren't from Immigration/DEA in order to get them to stop running away/talk to them?

It's the same Principle of Least Privilege. You divide power between parties that have no incentive to collaborate, and the little guy doesn't get squished as bad (or at least, as fast).
Qt supports the native platform accessibility on Windows and Mac, and "AT-SPI" on X11 [0].

Windows and Mac has been supported since at least Qt 4 in 2005. I think there was also some support in Qt 3.
The archived Qt 4 documentation says X11 support is "preliminary".

Sure would be cool if we could skip the whole dystopian bit, and the WWIII part, and the genetically engineered people rebellion.
I never found this type of argument satisfying. It's more of an appeal to emotion than a rational reason.

In our culture we feel deep embarrassment if someone sees us using the toilet, but this is not universal across people and cultures, and honestly, it shouldn't be embarrassing. There's nothing inherently wrong with pooping. We irrationally feel embarrassment when we shouldn't have to.

This argument doesn't show any negative consequences of invasion of privacy. It's also not clear how it extrapolates to situations that don't involve toilets or nudity. If the problem is embarrassment, and people don't feel embarrassed that Facebook collects data, does that make it okay?

Obviously there are other arguments for privacy that do show potential harm. I find these more compelling.
Your first point is not correct, there are about 3.5 billion smart phone users out there.

> For myself, I'm not going to give up the meat I eat once or twice a week because some people across half a continent or half a world can't sit down to eat unless they're served a burger or a steak.

Hmm, meat consumption in Greece has went from 21kg to 72kg per person per year in the last 50 years. The USA is at 124kg, UK is 80kg, France is at 83kg and Spain is at 100kg. That's not a huge difference, and poorer countries want to catch up as they get richer:

Behaviour expected by social norms and with purely social consequences is much preferred to behaviour dictated by governments which can have legal and physical consequences. In the first case, you are (supposed to be) protected from physical consequences by that very same government. You'll never be able to get away from people's expectations as long as you live amongst other people. What matters is what they can do about it.
Considering we're see "social heating" if not "social fire" all around us, I'm not sure this is informs people correctly.

My local Facebook group seethes with an angry discussion just below threats of actual violence - and the actual violence was on display only a short time ago when Back The Blue physically assaulted a black lives matter demonstration (in a smallish city where "BLM" is just earnest liberals as you'd expect). And the miscreants were readily identifiable by Facebook (which hurt their business if nothing else but still basically weren't all that bothered by the situation).

Another thing about the heated local-group arguments is that few people have a good idea how unprivate their situation really is. The paranoia of Bill Gates "microchipping" people is a cartoonish example but there's a vast group people very concerned with privacy but having close to no understanding of what it actually involves (or how much they don't have).

If anything, the noxious effect of massive collection is most evidenced by micro-marketing of a variety of crazed ideas to those most susceptible to them - and employers and landlords being able to harass their own employees for particular things they object to (but lets a lot of things through, and business owners have less to worry about).
> The solution is to automate an appropriate amount of factory jobs, but also keep an appropriate amount of low-skill jobs so that these people can be part of society.

Yeah but, isn't the fact that those are going away the whole problem? If there already was an "appropriate amount of low-skill jobs" we wouldn't be talking about this. Do you want the government to mandate certain companies have to keep X number of certain jobs around for low-skilled workers? And what do you do about jobs that simply aren't needed anymore (not automated away, just gone due to something new)?

I'm not saying it's a terrible idea, but it seems odd to me that you're complaining about UBI but your solution to the problem is likely just UBI with extra steps - is it more 'demeaning' to just give people money for nothing, or to force them to do a literally unnecessary job to get it?

It's also not like there isn't anything for people to do if they're receiving UBI in place of their (now gone) job, Ex. they could volunteer at a non-profit, work on hobbies, work for a local business (that maybe couldn't afford to hire them at a full salary), etc. And all those things are arguably more useful usages of their time than making them do an unnecessary job.

Still, fundamentally I agree with most of your criticisms, there's definitely a subset of the population that really can't be retrained from what they currently do, but recognizing the problem and solving the problem are two different things. And numbers here matter as well - the number of people losing their jobs to automation is a different number from those that can't reasonably be expected to be retrained somewhere else. If that second group is small enough, just giving them UBI/SS/etc. and telling them to retire is honestly not that bad of an option.

Apple should provide a button to basically permanently liberate the hardware. You no longer get security updates from Apple, perhaps there's a permanent light that turns on on the front so that any buyers know that this device no longer belongs to the Apple ecosystem and could be compromised. The phone cannot talk to Apple services. You can install whatever you want and lose all warranty coverage.

It would rebut many of these complaints but I honestly don't think it would be very popular.
The mic and speakers on the laptop are designed for a single listener/speaker sitting directly in front of the machine.

A USB speakerphone is designed for multiple speakers and a wider area in which they could be positioned.

You also get some advantages from isolating the mic/speaker from the laptop chassis, noise control and such. Same reasoning as using an external DAC/Amp for headphones rather than the onboard interfaces.

and btw, " If I was a cow I’d want to be extinct." - that's a good philosophical point that indicates the lurking nature of some of the vegans, vegetarians etc.

They are not only would rather think that it is better for a cow to die than to live some time, but also ..

..they would spread the idea that maybe humanity would better off going extinct..

And this idea genocidal idea can lead to things similar to what was done by different totalitarian streams of 20th century: Nazism, fascism, communism.

J.B.Peterson talks about this quite interestingly. But "woke" folks dont like him ;)

Not 100% sure, but I think one of Netherlands/Sweden/Finland is on that list. The reason I know this is I work in a multinational firm and there were issues with a monitoring tool. Also, parts of Europe have expectations of privacy even in a work environment, eg. an employer cannot read your work emails, even though they reside on their servers and are part of their "work".

NVENC only works on recent NVidia GPUs (it's in the hardware itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_NVENC ), and there haven't been any recent NVidia GPUs that are (officially) supported by macOS.

You can technically use the Mac GPU by selecting a Video Toolbox encoder, but quality varies.

FWIW, I can steam 1080p60 without too much CPU overhead (~20%) on my iMac 2020 using libx264.
Or to put it another way, Apple provides systems administrator services with every phone. Most medium and large businesses pay a LOT of money for systems administration to ensure that their desktops and laptops work reliably.

> No interest in solving the problem? I work at Amazon, we are hiring all the top ML people to work on this problem. Legions of ML PhDs. Its not easy and you are just making stuff up

I think you may be a touch defensive here. Take a look at what makes the the problem hard -- it's the incentives, not the lack of PhDs. The problem is that Amazon makes money off the counterfeits until caught, and when caught the penalty is low enough that it's not worth it to the GM to prevent the problem.

If you truly have an interest in solving the problem, take up that incentive problem with the GMs in charge and see how far you get.
They do more than payment processing on the App Store. So it’s possible they approximately break even on 99c apps. And every free app is a loss.
I don't think that's quite an apt comparison. The fundamental physics of an atomic bomb were not well known until the late 1800s. Apparently the Manhattan Project cost about $23 billion in 2007 dollars. ITER apparently had an initial budget of around $5 billion in 2005-6. By now, the construction cost is estimated to be at least $22 billion. It seems plausible that if we throw $15 or 20 billion at it in 2006, we could get bring forward the timeline by a handful of years. Or we might burn $20 billion on things like advanced construction and salaries for physicists and engineers, with relatively little to show for it.

The GDP of the EU is apparently $18 trillion, so $20 billion is about .1% of the GDP in a single year, and of course that $20 billion is spread over 1-2 decades. If anything, it seems like as a species, we should have more of these bets going. What if we spent 1% of our GDP on 10 long-shot, high-impact projects? Or hell, half a percent on 5 long-shot projects, and half a percent on solving the dozens of problems that we could solve simply by funding them.
I don't know maybe I got lucky but i bought the store brand walmart leds and have used them for a long time without replacing them. the light quality is nice and it was extremely cheap... on the order of the incandescents that they replaced. I want to say it was around 5 or 10 bucks for a 4 pack

Email is a fickle technology, what with the state of anti-spam technology and SPF records, and DKIM, etc... The odds of an email going through really aren't as certain as they were 20 years ago!

That said, we use tracking pixels in our support ticket system because we often do have certain clients who simply can't receive email from Zendesk for whatever reason. The read receipt gives us a positive signal that they received it, or conversely if we _don't_ see a read receipt, it's a low quality signal that maybe they didn't receive our response.

There’s a huge difference between belief in an artifact as holding magical powers and the expectation that you could make practical use of it.

I might be wrong about the emperor’s belief. I chose an SD card particularly because it looks insignificant. Getting an emperor to say “this is a sacred relic” is still a long way off from getting an emperor to say “let us endeavor to unlock the secrets of this relic.”

The most useful insights come from the user reviews shared to those sites.

Making it noticeable isn't going to get you closer to reproducible builds though. There is still a quite a lot of effort that needs to go into patching individual packages and fix the non-determinism introduced by the compilation process which NixOS can't solve by adding tricks.

And as an outsider I'm unable to read the RFC and understand what is going on and what tangible issues it solves for Nix.
> They just need to use reverse-cycle airconditioners to efficiently heat the air and dehumidify it instead of simply using a resistive heater. These are much more complex to make and are expensive.

I've seen these in apartments in Europe; I presume this is because it's a PITA to route a dryer exhaust vent to the outside in a 400-year-old building with 2-foot thick stone walls. Such dryers work well; you just have to dump the accumulated water out of them every so often. But I've never seen one for sale in the US.

Well, "we" is very precise -- it's an EU program, and this reactor is not.

As far as "why", you can take your pick of:

- ITER's design is older, and maybe could be considered "lower risk" (that it will work at all)

- Sunk cost

- Academic jobs program

- Money has already been allocated to member states, and none are happy to give that up

- Big changes take time

I'm not optimistic on stuff like this, so IMO it's another JWST, but it's not totally crazy to keep working on a plan (for a while) when new avenues of research arise.
>Disney would open if the government would let them.

They did reopen; I remember a video from what feels like months ago (but these days that could have been last week) where managers were telling employees "welcome home" (gross).

The article says they're getting slammed by low attendance rates, which makes sense because a lot of people either don't want to go to a theme park right now or don't have the money to.
Only kind of on topic, but a few weeks ago I read a comment here (but can't find it again). I think it's worth repeating though.

You don't need to love or use Vim to benefit from it. Just learning the keybinds is a great thing, because you can most likely find Vim bindings for any popular system.

So though you never use Vim, whatever you pick up next can use the same bindings you're used to.
> IMO, there's a multibillion dollar company waiting to be founded to provide authenticity verification services for humans online.

Any kind of widely used identity/authentication system would need to be a protocol and not a product of a for-profit corporation. Businesses take on great risks if they use another corporation's products as part of their core operations as that product owner can change the terms of service at any time and pull the rug out from under them. A protocol is necessarily neutral so everyone can use it without risk in the same way they use HTTP.

For identity protocols I think BrightID (https://www.brightid.org/) is becoming more established and works pretty well.
It's like politicians preventing studies on racism in police (a current hot topic in Germany): As long as there is no data, no one can demand action (i.e. getting rid of racist cops) or subpoena it (i.e. a class action lawsuit against Amazon).

Amazon has a vested massive interest in not provably knowing numbers about counterfeit rates!
I only hope you are in the small, small, small minority. Intimidating people not to speak is not freedom of speech. You may think intimidation is good when it is attacking something you disagree with, but given enough time you will be on the receiving side.
Opening the video and letting it play till the end, I found the following in my browser's debugger:

- 63 XHR requests
- 52500 Kbytes of content in total
- 42020 Kbytes of content in video data
- 1600 Kbytes in Javascript
- 0.36 Kbytes of title (repeated, 14 times)

What does this tell me? That the title is 0,000686% of the total transferred content for this video.

I'd be more worried about the 1.6 megabytes of executable code (that's two thirds of the original DOOM) just to basically embed a video player and a list of comments.

Out of all performance issues you can complain about (enough with the useless polyfills to artificially slow down Firefox already, Youtube staff!), repeating the title is not the important part.
