I'm a former homemaker who is desperately poor, but my life works vastly better than it is supposed to. Numbers six and seven in the article very much resonate with me:

6. They say no to giving the steering wheel of life to anyone else. Another Buffett quote affirms this: "You've gotta keep control of your time and you can't unless you say no. You can't let people set your agenda in life."

7. They say no to people-pleasing. Successful people don't neglect their deepest wishes and desires to accommodate and yield to others' wishes and desires.

As a woman, I find that pretty much everyone thinks I should do stuff for them "out of the goodness of my heart" and, no, it doesn't come back to me as career networking or some crap. I was literally homeless for years and people would be all gushy about what a wonderful person I was and how much value I added to both HN and other forums and then be all basically "STFU and stop whining at me, you worthless bitch" if I was all "That's great, but I can't fucking afford to eat. Can I get some help trying to establish an income here if you think I'm so wonderful?"

Nope. Absolutely not.

So one of the ways I have slowly begun making my life work is by walking away from a zillion opportunities to be a chump and be helpful to people who will never, ever, ever, ever do a fucking thing in return for me.

It hasn't made me a millionaire, but I have saved millions on what my medical condition is supposed to cost, so it is clearly worth real money and never mind how dirt poor I remain, in part due to rampant and blatant sexism while everyone acts like I am higher than a kite for pointing that fact out.
> There is no StackOverflow for trading, or betting. Nobody gives away their edge for free, although they may give away their trades.

This isn't trading, though. It's forecasting. You could make that argument about the sub-category of economic forecasts, perhaps. But not about more general things, like presidential elections.

> Imagine a strategy that has a 50% chance of blowing you up completely over 10 years, but nets you 50% more profit if it works. The average return of this strategy is 25% less than a safe strategy (zero risk, zero gain), but it has a 50% chance of winning in this marketplace. If it were real money, nobody would go near it.

People go near real money strategies like that all the time. That's all WallStreetBets is, or the financial crisis, for that matter. I do take your point that this behavior may be more pronounced in a community like this, but I don't think it invalidates the model.
> "Living with their parents" - Again, so what?

Interesting advocacy both for [1] and against [2] nuclear families. Many more such studies and articles on both sides. As long as the median demographic for family formation continues to bleed usable income with each passing decade, the advocacy for either way won't matter if there simply is insufficient economic incentive to have children and raise them, and we'll see continued patterns like extended family or high-trust non-familial clans grouping together for sheer survival. We can handwave the trends away by hiding in median compensation figures, but societies with big and durable bifurcations aren't fun to live in for most people on the wrong end of that bifurcation.

Nope, I've never really been into it but I do try and make an effort with my colleagues who might be struggling / in a chatty mood. If I'm in a one on one chat / conversation with someone I like to ask them how they've been & what's going on. An extension/plugin for an existing tool might be interesting e.g. teams, slack etc. I tend to agree with other comments about an app not being able to replace the spontaneous in-person conversation we're talking about though.
"Liberal" and "neoliberal" have both been hijacked by progressives thoroughly enough that no one associates colloquial usage of either of those with Friedman or Hayek.

Friedman and Hayek were certainly not globo-corpo, considering that they believed in things like freedom of association, covenants, and other legal protections that work against the likes of Amazon or Wal-mart (who are primarily interested in undermining unions, using strategies to diminish worker cohesion like diversity quotas, and strategies to defang leftism like trans activism).

I don’t use anything special: VLC instead of Celluloid. Web browser for YouTube, Netflix,, Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, bbc iplayer (I use FoxyProxy UK proxy since I’m not in the UK), ITV.

I also have an HDTV antenna and use the Samsung remote to switch inputs for it, but it is rarely used (broadcast TV content just sucks where I am), although there is also locast.org if you like that.

That’s a lot of content for me, but I still sometimes use Stream.io (also with FoxyProxy VPN) to stream films from Pirate Bay instead of downloading.

And if I want to watch download/save something or watch content I already stored, I have a synology NAS that’s mounted over SMB ( or NFS?) for that. There’s also a DVD player in the ancient PC but we don’t use it (however VLC plays dvds just fine).

Honestly this is much more quality content than me or my family could ever consume.

The family does not mind the keyboards/touchpad interface for the TV even though they don’t know Linux... UI is so simple it does not matter.

I did increase font size even though it’s a 65-inch screen.
This is why I think all the case count numbers are basically garbage.

For most people, going to the doctor is more bother than it's worth and half the time they'll tell you that you don't qualify for whatever test or treatment you were hoping to receive anyway.

There is a massive disconnect between how many people are testing positive and how many people are actually infected, and it's skewing everyone's perception of the virus.

You are wrong. Those fees are added to the normal rent, they are not part of it. I choose my current appartment in part because there was no additional "gift money" to pay. Each time one moves place those have to be paid, which makes moving quite costly.
The biggest thing I miss were the daily walks with close coworkers, whether to grab coffee, lunch or just to get outside and enjoy the fresh air.

I'm blessed in that I have two roommates I'm also best friends with, so that definitely helps, but I do agree with you that there is a certain privilege, if you will, to the spontaneity that comes with office talk.
My problem with "the package model that linux distributions already have" is that it's not one model and each one often comes out a bit different for unintended/unknown reasons.
Yes, and? Art conservation isn't about recovering the original information. It's about making the work do the job it was intended to do.

If there's a big hole in the middle of a painting, the painting is currently doing a bad job of being a painting, because the hole is distracting people from looking at and experiencing the rest of the painting.

If you, as a conservator, fill in the hole (in a reversible way) with, well, anything, it'll likely stand out less than the hole itself did. And, therefore, the painting will now have been "repaired", in the sense that it's now doing a better job of communicating the art that the painter intended to communicate by painting it, than it did when there was a big hole in it.

Same thought process with colorization. A B&W's medium distracts the modern viewer, who is used to color photos, from the photo's intended message. For modern B&W photos, the B&W look is part of the message; but for B&W photos taken when B&W photos were the only kind of photos (especially candid or portrait photos, rather than "art" photos), this choice of medium is mostly unintentional.

Colorizing the photo—even somewhat poorly, like with old Technicolor movies—will result in the viewer of the photo being less distracted by the photo's medium than they would by a B&W photo; and therefore paying more attention to the content of the photo itself. Which is, in most cases, what the photo's taker would want.

This is ridiculous, if such a device exists and can detect a new condition that 5% of the US population has with a 80% false positive rate, and the condition was as serious as heart disease this would really be a miracle device and people would be grateful that such a thing exists.

I really have distaste for those comments that attempt to mask ideology with a veneer of logic. You attempt to use a limiting case argument that actually proves the original comment's argument and then end with rhetoric about how the healthcare system is being flooded already. That may be true, but that isn't relevant to the utility of the apple watch in this scenario.
> Alternatively it's almost like Microsoft made a concerted effort to stop being the biggest scumbags in the entire industry and started doing some nice things, and people adjusted their opinions based on new evidence.

What evidence? Microsoft has been going more towards the "facebook" route with their move to turn the windows OS into a data collecting platform. And their "open source" move is filled with "telemetry".

> Not everything has to be some giant conspiracy.

Here comes those "conspiracy" talk. Everybody and their grandmother uses "conspiracy" as an argument against things they disagree with. I didn't say it was conspiracy. That corporations have PR campaigns isn't new. As a matter of fact, the founder of the site you are on wrote about it.

http://paulgraham.com/submarine.html

To imply otherwise would be a conspiracy.

> (As for Apple, I strongly disagree with your take. I've seen almost nothing but negative sentiment towards Apple for years now, even from former fanboys)

You've seen nothing but negative sentiment about apple? Where? Here, they are mostly championed as the "anti-facebook". But maybe we are reading different threads.
You are correct that this is very difficult to untangle. But remember features that initially excite and please customers because they were new and provided even unexpected benefits, soon migrate into "more is better" kinds of features and then over time every competitor is offering the same feature and it is "table stakes." You really only expect sales upticks for features relatively early in that lifecycle. The rest just contribute to customer retention.

You should assume that most businesses already have some kind of solution in place, either from a competitor or an internally developed a set of processes and supporting software. When you look for sales bumps you need to consider the length of the sales cycle - you might not see any switching for 2 or 3 quarters after it becomes generally known that the feature is available.

I think your surest sign is in customer retention statistics. If normally you experience 10% non-renewals of license every quarter. I would look in the quarters right after it is introduced to see whether renewal rates improve.

And, still your critics might say well it wasn't the new feature that your department created and introduced, it was the new marketing campaign and we revamped our process for renewing customers. And, you know they might be right. Or, the improvement is a subtle combination of all those factors. Unlike science, businesses, particularly B2B, rarely do controlled experiments.

You can track inputs and outcomes over time and point to correlations but that is about the best you can do.

Time for some HN user to break one of these TVs open and physically remove the antenna or wifi card.
I don't off hand, that's what I remember from past reading. However, for comparison, Facebook - one of the two undisputed masters (and essentially only players) of online advertising makes < $30/person/year [0], so to assume that Samsung is (a) making $30 on ads over three years (standard depreciation period), and (b) giving all of that back in the TV cost to the buyer seems like a generous overestimate. (Yes, you can insert whatever fudge factor you want, but I think the order is right, and I remember reading it in some article).

It's possible ACR is worth more to them than ads -- becoming a new Nielsen; but I would be very surprised.

It’s pretty much just you, pal. But it sounds like you need some perspective. So why wait? Go now.

Consider how US-centric your worldview is already. You make the assumption that everyone on HN is (a) in the US already, (b) worries about the future like you, (c) thinks other countries are magically “better”, and (d) cares about politics and government.

It’s your inherent worldview and station that even gives you the option to consider moving. Which I think is weak, but don’t pay attention to me. Literally 90%+ of the world can not move cites or countries to escape issues at home, and for many that do, they are literally refugees fleeing from horrific situations leaving behind everything they knew and most all their meager possessions.

So sure... why not let a democracy terrify you into spending a few months whipping up Google searches on “best cities to live and work in” on your $1500 computer and chat about it over Sunday NFL games with your family? Then hire a shipping company to send your stuff via cargo and put some plane tickets on a credit card and “escape” your sad and lowly life in the USA.

You need some perspective. So why not leave now? Clearly you’re checked out and not doing much for your city or community anyway. After all, it’s all about your “difficult” life here.

Do us a favor though. Go for it. Really go for it. Don’t truck off to Canada and call yourself a hero.

Try Brazil or Colombia. Great amazing and wonderful countries. But you’ll learn to love the USA again and maybe appreciate what you have a little. I’m not suggesting you need to go to the Congo or Qatar.

But wherever you go, truly make a life for yourself there. Close your US bank and credit card accounts. Give up your US shipping address. Get rid of your services you wouldn’t have legally obtained without a US IP address.

Do it for at least three years. Really become a native. And seriously commit to learning the primary language there.

Have fun packing your Samsonite suitcase.

Don’t rent out your home. Sell it. Burn the ships.

NOTE: the above is tinged with sarcasm, but I do honestly feel you need to experience real lire elsewhere. It’s a lot different to live life fully somewhere when you can’t also “escape” back to the USA when things get annoying there after a few months. The best thing you’ll like eventually is how many of your new neighbors and friends would love to go TO the USA regardless of politics. In fact, the only people I meet that disparage our presidents (any of them going back to Carter) are other privileged people who have the same luxury you do.

The mainstream theory is that whatever reality is, its consequences on measurable length-scales are as-yet indistinguishable from an almost-everywhere-continuous medium. (I.e. away from black hole singularities.). Until we have the ability to measure not just deviations of reality from theory, but deviations from what any continuum theory might predict, the question of whether hypergraphs have the correct asymptotic continuum behavior is largely moot. Wolfram has been pushing an atomistic program of cellular automata as models of physical systems for many years. They are beautiful, but so far they are only useful insofar as they approximate continuum mechanics-- which is to say, they are of limited application.

The thing about continuous media is that they involve dynamics on all length scales: .1 meters, .1 nanometers, 1e-10 nm, etc. Because of wave-particle duality, length scales and energy scales run inversely: a low energy experiment just does not exhibit any measurable dependence on extremely short-range behavior of the universe. Only high-energy experiments have a wavelength short enough to be sensitive to this unknown sector. Low energy physics is “well understood” in the sense that any experiment with a modest number of component particles can be totally predicted from theory, to the limits of experimental accuracy. Granted that many real-world problems involve stupendous numbers of particles, and exhibit challenging-to-explain emergent behavior: but this is not evidence of unexplained fundamental phenomena, just of the limits of our mathematical insight into finding good abstractions for many-body problems, and evidence of the limits of our computational power to try and work around the lack of good abstractions.

It is known that the most generous interpretation of current theories is that they are self-consistent to arbitrary high energies (renormalizable is the term). That does not mean they are consistent with actual reality, just with themselves.

So... hypergraphs are a big lift, an unneeded multiplication of entities. Until an experiment reveals non-continuum behavior of space-time, what we have here is a solution to a non-issue.
Thanks, I watched a documentary about this on the "Nature of Things".

I don't know if this was true in Cuba. But many people in the former soviet union states already relied on growing their own food because of shortages in stores. So basic farming knowledge, and even relying on small farmers was more common.
To what degree and how quickly a place like Hawaii would adopt I'm not sure. Many farms in Hawaii are geared to monocrop production, and are large and corporately owned.
They would first need to taken over. Also, Hawaii is a paradise. But growing common agricultural crops there is surprisingly difficult.

Of course the company deserves to capture the value, they are already paying you and expect some return on investment (from paying you). Your contribution would’ve been zero without the company and your teammates who are also only there because the company built the team.

This was actually the UK government's justification for not including it on the list of symptoms that they asked people to self-isolate for initially - even though it was fairly specific to Covid, they reckoned it appeared too late in order to be all that useful as a criteria to get people to self-isolate. Notice also that the article doesn't say anything about when the symptom appears.
The study found about 260 out of about 767,000 people came in because of something they saw on their watch. Out of the ~260, 41 actually had something wrong. Is it safe to assume those 41 people would NOT have gone in without the watch? Maybe.

> What does this scenario represent that is _the actual problem_ of the matter?

Among others:

- Crippling depression for many of those who are jobless and living with their parents in a culture that is not exactly friendly to them.

- An increased incidence of health issues that are correlated with depression and loneliness.

- Decreased quality of life for elderly parents who need to support their children within the confines of a difficult, stressful job market and a pension system that sees increasing pressure from an aging population.

- An aging working population that has difficulties filling positions around a particular range of experience, which -- in turn -- can make it harder to sustain the social programs required to help people cope.

- Increased pressure on social spending in the long term, since people who are struggling to find jobs in their fourties are unlikely to be in a super well-paid position by the time they're sixty.

It's not like these people are basking in a Russell-esque life of idyllic idleness, like they're taking a perpetual sabbatical year. Many of them don't want to be in the position they're in.
