That statement feels wrong but I have no data to back up my gut feeling. Only a handful of generations ago even something as menial as doing your own laundry was hard work. Maybe we spend more time in offices, but if anything, I suspect we work a lot less hard in general.
>> Why do you need to own it?

Because our primitive brains instinctively want to own things. We can share with family, and with good friends, but not with strangers.

Another thing: car is used not only to drive, but also as a storage space for things that you want to have always with you: a bottle of water, duffel bag with gym clothes, umbrella, etc. With rented car pools you'd have to carry all that with you.

Also, society where no one owns a car or an apartment, where everything is rented, "pooled", would be a totalitarian dystopia - try to misbehave, post a negative comment about government on Facebook and you're banned from a car sharing service as a punishment. Seizing your property is of course also possible, but much harder.
As opposed to 12 hours a day (depending on daylight), 6 days a week, both men (in the fields) and women (at home, without the luxury of washing machines and vacuum cleaners). Yeah, we certainly work harder...
My Nana was right, she would take a bite of food and put her knife and fork down while she chewed, it could take quite some time to finish a plate of food.

This isn't the doc's motivation. The doc is concerned with unintended consequences of lockdown: "lower childhood vaccination rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health - leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden".
Absolutely, that's what I meant with my last comment. It's framed as a collaboration to see how you think but that's not what really happens. It's all about jumping through hoops and doing the right dance.

My experience is in the games industry and interviews there are usually more about what you've done which eventually leads to implementation details from where you can easily gather if the person knows what they're talking about.
What a useless article. You didn't even take the time to explain what your issues with it are.
That would still violate the DMCA where owning data isn't important.

I'm not sure how the mechanism of operation has any effect here?

Products like security cameras do a certain thing, and advertisements inform you of that thing. If that thing is risk avoidance, then you need to judge for yourself if its worth it.

For example, consider advertisements for flu shots and other immunizations. They create fear, by informing people about legitimate risks. Then is it wrong to advertise optional immunizations?

As an aside, I recently bought a Ring camera and later had an attempted burglary. The camera did its job, and woke us up for suspicious activity so our car wasn't stolen as a result.

Thats just... dude, 6000 years ago the knifes where sharper than what you find in your kitchen. What blunt knife?

Similary, high IQ people today are given "blunt knifes" considering they are surrounded by 8 billion retards, see handling of covid, climate change, flat earthers etc. If anything, back then a high iq person would have motivation and belief in bringing discoveries to the table. Today, why would anyone invent say fusion power or usable super conductors when you know it will just be use for more poverty and destruction?

The average size of brains has been lowered by 15% from then to now.
No, marketing is doing this for decades, it definetly works. The overall problem is more that most Influencers are laymen with no clue about proper marketing, and so are the people who fall to their ploy.

Influencers can have significant impact on sales in every area, if they wield their fame rightful. The real problem is that most influencers are only fame for themself, their personality, the entertainment they offer, but hardly for their expertise in any specific area. So the crowd they gather is to diversified to be useful for a specific product, outside of generic stuff.

But you see the effects more clearly when you look at tech, gaming or weeb-stuff, where people who are fame for their general expertise or specific expertise in some game, tech or weeb-area.
I think it's perfectly justified for me to be critical of a website when it is COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. Like I said, I'm on mobile, and there's no way for me to figure anything out from the website.

It's 2020. It's not hard to make a website that's usable on mobile.

Only for the vendor, personally I don't want to see adverts that are more likely to influence my behaviour.
> We're working on a way to disallow users from acting as exits for certain kinds of traffic - so you'll be able to categorically block certain kinds of sites through the UI in the near future

To block something you should know that it exists. Do you have full and actual list of CP resources? I doubt. So what is the point of ability to block something if you even don't know that it exists before it is too late. The only way to deal with it are whitelists but who will use "VPN" if only certain websites will be accessible?
That's exactly what I meant. Did I say otherwise?

The general approach is to disable the algorithm (ie. enable TCP_NODELAY) and then implement whatever optimizations you can on higher level.
Ask HN: Professional Python IDE
Hi all, it's been a long time since I've done any work in a Python IDE and browsing the ML and Data Science jobs available out there, I realise I know nothing about the tools they use on a daily basis, if anyone in these fields want to give an overview about what they use in their setup, I'm sure I won't be the only one with an interest?

> The results suggest that a higher number of masticatory cycles before swallowing may provide beneficial effects on satiety and facilitate glucose absorption.

I wonder if the satiety increase isn’t due to spreading consumption over a longer period of time. Increasing the time between bites might also improve satiety. I didn’t read the full paper, this point may have been addressed.
There’s a fun old-school spelling for the logical AND and OR operators in languages that officially spell them ∧ or ∨ but need to be typed in ASCII: /\ and \/

I am having trouble finding real world examples right now, but it happens in languages like ALGOL and CPL (tho they predate ASCII)
The spectator used to be really good. But since brexit, it's rapidly becoming like fox news. I'm centre left but I used to listen to their podcasts because it was challenging and well reasoned and some alternative to my usual bubble. Not anymore alas.

I think it must be tempting to just talk to like minded people and rail against strawmen. But the lack of self restraint ultimately leads to these sorts of personality cult, beliefs>facts bs (the article and the "declaration" are both examples of this) we've had for the last few years on both sides of the Atlantic. Maybe this is just the cycle of democracy, and in 10 years people will wake up and realise? I hope so.
Thank you for sharing this. I admire your strength.
As others said, it isn't. Child mortality was particularly high, which reduces the average age, making it not very suitable for understanding the reality at the time. Barring violent death, people who survived past the age of 15 normally lived to 60+.

Not to worry. He already has the sciter core running on many platforms. I guess he is just adding JS and open-sourcing it if the campaign were to go well.

Real shame, Sciter is one of the strongest options out there since its coded natively on each platform and the web engine is added on top.

The article claims that:

My first reaction to the 40ms number is "TCP_NODELAY?".

That number is probably craved into my brain now.

You might not be interested in advertising in some kid's instagram, while at the same time you get 30 emails/day asking for free stuff. Often if you deny it or don't answer you also get a rant about how famous the influencer is and how you will repent for not going along.

I have a friend that has a Piadina[1] restaurant. I have seen the emails first hand. They even have a big sign in the front door in the lines of "Influencers: no free meals". Edit: Yes, they also show off in person.

CAN bus is the standard physical interface. What is not standard is the message being passed, so each car will have it's own message for car information. What surprised me about OpenPilot is how some of the electric steering system can be tricked into turning using false sensor data. It's actually amazing that almost all cars now can be driven by software the only thing missing are more accurate and complicated sensors.
Not sure why working in office isn't considered a luxury? You are literally making your whole team commute from various parts of the city just to have a face to face contact. Mind you that this arrangement has been created because in the past there was no way to effectively communicate, but now this is no longer a problem, therefore commuting is just a thing from the past that some people are too attached to, akin to preferring listening to vinyl instead of Tidal or something. Why people should live in the past? That ship has sailed.
The point was more about narrowly describing the conditions under which they have succeeded, limiting how much you can conclude about the reasons.

Playing catch-up is always easier and faster. Growth requires risk-taking. but if you already know what "risks" to take by looking over the border at what the other country built, it's more just formulaic, which works great for a top-down approach. But once they stat getting into uncharted territory the top-down approach can switch from being the best to the worst as they inefficiently dump resources into the wrong directions.

How do you know she didn't pay the BBC with free cake?
On my experience is the other way around. When I eat fast I can eat a lot, when I manage to eat slowly the hunger subsides with less meal consumed.
I still use BBC as one of the better European sources of information, after filtering mentally that it's (of course) tailored to UK audience. I'm not British, so maybe I wasn't paying as close attention as I should to see the decline in quality.

On a tangent, maybe worth it's own thread - can you propose a good European news site, in English? There's plenty of aggregators and crap-generators out there, but quality reporting is getting harder to find, and I'm grateful for any recommendation.
I would pick the same books but Dune (now I'm intrigued).

Especially 1984 is much more than just about surveillance technology which I think most people tend to be focused on.

Native c/c++ code linking maybe?
Linking with native modules may be important to some projects, and that's complicated when the GPL is involved.
My wife nearly had an accident because of a huge ad billboard that suddenly displayed huge roaring flames, to advertise for some steakhouse.

My general feeling is that these sort of intrusive, dangerous, anti-ecological (such a billboard consumes as much power as a family of 4), anti-social (one less worker to change billboards) ads should be banned, period.
As soon as there is mold it goes. I'm not risking anything.
What do you think about e-ink billboards?

I think you would do best to get some "big players" to buy in first. Someone who pays $2m will do the due diligence that this works, hire an expert to check out your tech etc. That will add to your credibility when you ask others to put $20K in the pot.

K8s is the new platform, you're just delaying the inevitable. Get with the program or suffer when your lack of knowledge makes you deficient in the platform uptake.
Only the really basic data (mostly related to emissions) and connector is standarised. Even the pinout of the connector (apart from the power supply and ground) differs quite a bit between manufacturers. The level of integration needed for actually driving the car is far from a standard. Not even that, most of the new cars have specific gateways which firewall the car electronics from the OBD port.

TL;DR: Apart from really basic data and physical connector, everything else is (ever more increasing) walled garden. With new VWs and Fiats requiring online connection for even most basic operations - so even if you know the protocol, you have to unlock it online (See VW SFD and Fiat SGW)
This sounds like your would be better of using Youtube's API https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/getting-started
Very often I see these tiny articles in local newspapers, 15 sentences, that go something like 'The driver lost control of their vehicle and died in the crash'.

I've had some terrifying software problems in Audis, including random shutdowns while driving due to faulty sensors, how often do you think someone who 'lost control of their car', which implies that there was human error, died because their car's electronics or software were faulty?

That number definitely is not zero.
I understand that by family you mean to have a good and strong relationship between teammates, which I approve. But my experience with family-like teams is that you end up with managers that act like they were you father/mother and you an immature child whose every request is a whim.

Pretending that everyone is a friend is not necessarily good either because straightening a friend is much more harder than a colleague, so you end up not taking the right decisions by fear of frustrating and losing your friend.

I agree with rimliu for those reasons. Coworker relationships have to be different than family or friends, but that does not mean being inhuman or disrespectful, and it is not incompatible with a good and fun ambiance.

I was looking at this earlier today. It is an alternative to electron that ships with a much smaller footprint (I guess because they don't ship node with it). It was developed in 2004 at EverNote long before node.js hit the scene.

I guess I fail to see how this is meaningfully different from any of those things.

> I have to feel bad for people who have never experienced true friendship at work

Why do you think getting friendly with people at work is appropriate? Mixing work and personal life will introduce unconscious bias and you will give different treatment to people who didn't invite you to their weeding. This is bad for business.

It seems like you just feel lonely and you use workplace to find friends. Can you see how wrong that sounds?

Did you think about finding a hobby, getting good at something other than work and meet people that way? (there is plenty of meetups for people sharing the same interests)

If you know that displaying unofficial highway signs will cause "self-driving" cars to swerve off the road, it's not much different an act from dropping breeze blocks off a motorway bridge.

I've no idea whether that'd be a highway crime, a computer misuse crime, or just attempted murder - that'd be a new one for lawyers in every country to argue.
Why is the article talking about CryEngine as if it's not being used anymore? It is, plenty of games use it. The upcoming game The Climb 2 for VR is using it for example.
That's a solid metaphor but it ignores that there's a considerable downside to self isolating. No one has major mental health issues because they can't drink drive. If someone proved medically that they had to drink drive or feel suicidal I'd have a hell of a lot more sympathy for them risking it.

> AFAIK if meat products start smelling,

The smell is telling you that the meat is rotting and needs to be destroyed. But meat that is fresh and has no bad odour can be contaminated. You cannot use smell to tell if meat is contaminated or not.

We don't eat raw chicken, even if it's very fresh, because of the risk of food poisoning from things like campylobacter.

You need to be careful with cooked then chilled rice because of the risk of bacillus cereus. It won't smell bad. It can be an unpleasant food poisoning.

I love Tasmota! I have a large cooker hood that I built into an alcove. Works fine, except my wife and children can't reach the buttons. I soldered wires to the button circuit board and connected a Sonoff 4CH Pro (basically 4 wifi connected relays) and a Sonoff remote control.

Not only can I operate the cooker hood with the remote control, through Home Assistant I also made an automation where I just shout 'Hey Google let's cook', which turns on all the lights in the kitchen and dining room and turns on the fan.
It's to bad the animation doesn't convey this information very well. Also all the manual labor and additional tools like boats involved. At the beginning the poles just fall out of thin air until they use some sort of pile driver to ram them in.

I only have some experience with Lumberyard right after Amazon purchased the CryEngine code base, so it was pretty much still 100% CryEngine (although an older version, IFIR CryEngine4). But still take my words with a grain of salt, it's all based on outdated information.

It basically comes down to that CryEngine isn't Unreal Engine or Unity. The editor looks different, the workflows are different, the way to implement things in code is different. If you have a team with good CryEngine experience (ideally people who had worked on Crytek games and the engine itself), then this isn't much of a problem. But if you put someone in front of CryEngine who had ever only worked with UE or Unity, they are lost and basically need to start from scratch (and at that point, you can just as well roll your own engine tailored to the game you're making).

There's been a lot of code and concepts in the engine that only make sense for first-person-shooters of the FarCry/Crysis flavour. For any other game this is dead weight at best, or requires the team to come up with hilarious workarounds at worst.

And the engine hasn't been "exposed" to many different teams and game projects as much as UE or Unity, so there are little travelled code paths that don't work as expected or just contain bugs, and the engine hasn't been brought into shape by external feedback.

Now all of this isn't really unusual when working with foreign massive code bases and tools, and game engine choice is often more about religion/ideology than pure facts (Stockholm syndrome etc). But in the end when you have a team that's familiar with UE4 or Unity, don't expect that this team loves to work with CryEngine (or Lumberyard).
