Isn't that what we see in the Folkhälsomyndigheten site I linked to? There's roughly 4x the number of reported cases since 1 September, roughly 4x the number of hospitalizations, and roughly 4x the number of deaths.

Again, eyeballed numbers, but you make it sound like something is significantly different.

Isn't the goal to keep the numbers from getting larger, like we see elsewhere?
My point was -- if gravity is not a force, it does not require a force carrier so there is no point for gravitons to exist.
The gaming alternatives were mumble and teamspeak which also sucked. Its no wonder discord took off when all of the competition sucked.
I've had just as many constructive arguments that were angry, or subjective or whatever else. Hunter S. Thompson wasn't objective, but he was more insightful and sharper and commited to truth than most writers of the time. MLK didn't pull up an excel sheet when he advocated for a cause. Argumentation isn't just about facts, it's about expressing a state of mind and communicating authentically what one thinks, and if someone's angry then they ought to communicate it and I ought to be able to take it, they don't need to pretend to be Spok or something, I don't see the value in that.

I'm not even sure there's an objective definition of what a 'constructive argument' is. You can have an argument to settle a conflict, understand someone better, find an answer to some question, express emotions, demand justice or a hundred other things, a lot of which don't require anything on that list.
That's not good for my addiction.
It takes 100 poor men to match the rich guy and that is fairness to you?

Ask HN: Which games did you find mentally/intellectually stimulating?
Popular titles that fit this description for me are Civilization V, Factorio, Portal (1 & 2). Recently I've been getting into Faster Than Light - initially this game seems very random and luck-based, but as you get into it you find out that with careful tactics and strategy you can to a large extent beat the randomness.
When I tested one of these machines out 2 months ago, a new QR code was generated each time the machine timed out to the home page. At this point, the old QR code and even the loaded webpage became useless.

This means you can’t save the URL, leave the restaurant, then use it to control the machine later.
What part of it? I'm not noticing any anomaly.
Were any subsidies actually paid? My understanding is that Foxconn was ultimately not eligible for any actual credits given how their plans had changed: https://madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/state-t...

And if that's true then didn't the state subsidy system work exactly as intended?

NY's Amazon subsidies were designed very well. They provided tax credits for the incremental progress Amazon made on the terms of the subsidy. So the state was not paying up front and then at risk of being left in the red if Amazon were to change plans. It's up to the government to design an airtight subsidy structure that protects their interests - but it can be done.
To be fair, it seems obvious that the education industry (those journals) would have a bias against homeschooling. Getting published by people who hate your message is just not likely.
You're not paying for emoji, your paying for an incredible product that provides a lot of value. Emoji is just one feature they hold back to tempt you to pay for the amazing thing you have been given for free.

It sounds greedy when you word it "paying for emoji" when in reality they are incredibly generous for holding back no core functionality from free users.
> the developers of the reference server have gone on record saying that they don't expect anyone else to be able to successfully implement.

Despite this, there are multiple alternative server implementations. Dendrite is the next gen server from the same core team, though Construct and Conduit are fledgling servers from different groups.
This is cool. The elements is the only song I have studied the lyrics for and had written down many times ;)
I would think I can trust anything on 127.0.0.1 because that can only be my local machine, right?

If there is something running on 127.0.0.1:8716 which I have not given permission to run then my machine is compromised already. No?
> No. I would be comfortable recommending Signal (or WhatsApp) to a nontechnical friend and communicating with them on it

I kind of like Signal. It seems like an honest effort for a really great goal and the dedication as well as some of the things they have achieved seems seriously impressive!

As for WhatsApp, you realize that they upload all your chats to the cloud, unencrypted, easily retrievable by you and whoever you chat with, and that getting rid of them will take effort on both sides?

You are aware that Facebook probably use your metadata to feed their algorithms?

Edit: my point is that as engineers and technologists it is so easy to be blinded by tbe technical rick solid technical implementation if an (important) part and forget that security depends on all parts of the puzzle.

- End-to-end doesn't matter if the endpoints by default upload everything to cloud storage unencrypted. If it is going to end up unencrypted in Googles cloud you can just as well use gmail. That way you won't make your metadata accessible to Facebook at the same time.

- End-to-end only means so much when an adversary is running the routing: they cannot know the contents of your messages as they fly through their networks but if you don't trust Facebook, do you really want them to know who you talk to and when?
In some respects. Polymorphic code is more like it, ie. DNA. DNA is data, but it creates processes (code) that produce proteins that then alter the data through histones and methylation and transcription factors. It becomes insanely non-linear and chaotic, the organism becoming an amalgamation of code and data in flux.
Sorry for the delay.

Maybe look for a job writing Clojure?
Maybe they should pay attention to science and mark them properly in N-m. It would make jobs programmable and reproducable from one screwdriver to another. I could own a DeWalt and borrow someone's Ryobi or Makita or some other brand and nail the setting the first try by dialing the correct torque in N-m. The limiter is already there; they just need to change the markings.
Well that's just nifty
OK, this is shit. I was not under the impression that this PIN was used to encrypt user data for storage somewhere else. That was not made clear to me.
I’d love to use this. A privacy notice would be cool.

There’s surely a huge liability in maintaining a database of (HN username, email) pairs. It’s a valuable target that will attract attention and I’m wary of becoming part of a breach.

So: a small privacy statement would be great to see, and maybe a note on security measures in place?

Apologies to DG if I’ve been living under a rock and you are a leading figure in Security research whose reputation I should know!
Small point: The HN title is incorrect. If you read the article you’ll see this is actually Five Eyes + 2. (Japan & India).
Just a heads up conferacity.com does not work (address not found) , I needed to go to discourse.conferacity.com, you should probably point the main domain to the discourse subdomain or create some sort of landing page.
It’s extremely wimpy and limp that they changed it to crusade from jihad. Holy heck what difference would it have made?
Well, for example in France, the category where you can find the most antimask persons is high educated women in their 50s.
It seems wrong that the status as a terrorist state depends on a monetary payment. Nevertheless, it's not the whole story.

The title seems to imply that this is a random sum of money given to the US while it's actually a payment to victims of terrorism attacks sponsored by a previous dictator. It's quite sad that current sudanese people, which were also victims of the dictatorship have to give away this money. What's the alternative then? Should non-democratic nations when changing government lose their debts? And their gains? If so then it's impossible to trade with them or maintain any commercial relationship and this would justify for example blocking trade with Cuba, which I think it's an error. If the people of non democratic countries are victims of their government is then a military invasion justified?

I'm not endorsing the payment BTW but I don't think that the answer is as simple as some people pretend.
Catering to people who don't own a phone (Richard stallman and kids in Africa) is a lower priority to most mods than stopping waves of trolls and spammers.
I sold off all my crypto and put the money into regular stock as soon as my country announced it would start taking an interest in taxing it and that you were responsible for proving whatever they though wrong.

It’s just too much of a risk and a bother, and I suspect it will only get worse from here.

I really don’t need something that might come back to bite me financially or even criminally 25 years from now.
The pure math of von Neumann style modeling is an incomplete and inapplicable system that has mostly been rendered obsolete when applied to human situations [1] and has been surpassed with behavioral game theory [2] and sociological modeling which is dependent on variable input from field research into actual human activities (which often vary widely by regional, cultural, temporal influences). Attempts to describe this can be found with Knightian uncertainty, dynamic inconsistency, bounded rationality [3], anchoring bias, decision theory, applying bayesian models, and complex system modeling theories which generally also involve models using statistical sampling from reality instead of presumptive theoritical models based on the early primitive von Neumann concepts.

For computational optimization, the von Neumann game theory terms are applied to actual logic systems and we end up with computer vision optimizations and video/audio codec best guess optimizations, or some interesting applications of evolutionary computing [4] in verifiable applications like signal optimization in antenna design [5] or industrial manufacturing techniques and structural integrity or architectural optimizations via generative design [6] in software [7] like generative computer automated design, ie Fusion 360 or Grasshopper [8].

Rudimentary modeling with von Neumann game theory fails to account for variables in reality, like the ambiguity effect and in applications like optimization of social choices like economic modeling or voting i.e. Gibbard's theorem. There's often situations where game theory fails to account for an adversarial evasion of the rule set - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metagame_analysis

If the primitive von Neumann game theory models were used to train an artificial intelligence system that controlled military weapons, there would have been global thermal nuclear winter in several decision making "games" like the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm situation.

"Won" is a bad term. It implies that the game is over. Of course, it is not over. Yahoo "won". So did Skype, and MySpace, the list of internet tech companies/websites that " won" are probably longer than the number of sites that you visited today. The game is never over.
> It's only not a problem because centralized megacorps solved it and everyone has to use them because of the spam problem.

Is this a perception or do you have data on this?

See my response to parent. Email spam from the point of view of self-hosted infrastructure is no longer a problem in my experience. No megacorps needed (or wanted, IMO).

Their competitors that are obeying the law are taxis. Uber and Lyft were able to get lower costs, because they were using loopholes in the law, which AR5 fixes.

Currently Uber and Lyft don't even compete against each other, they compete against their drivers.

Significant link found between air pollution and neurological disorders
I have very mixed feelings about this.

The quality of HN threads benefits from more thought out comments and fewer reflexive replies. Notifications can promote “engagement” in the superficial sense of increasing frequency of replies, but will damage engagement in the deeper sense of decreasing depth of thought.
They might want to see a copy of the patent-application, which you might be willing to show them under a non-disclosure agreement.

If you want to sell an idea to an investor it is not unreasonable that they would demand to know what exactly the idea is, which is best communicated by letting them see the patent application. No?
Ask HN: CTOs/VPS of Engg, what lessons you wish you'd known before?

Huh that's really interesting. I wonder if it would make sense for a mail server to always respond OK to RCPT, but respond with failure to DATA if any recipients are undeliverable? There would be a slight change in semantics here (there would be no way for the sending SMTP server to know which subset of the recipients are undeliverable) though, which might make it hard to notify users about specific bouncing addresses.
I think I have described a world where a legal framework exists such that "content" I create belongs to me and cannot be assigned away, that is designed to make my digital footprints available to me and licensable by me.

Work by and caused / inferred by me should be mine - and there should be a legal obligation to store and make it available to me - or never use it.

I think that would sort most of our problems out - probably cause another set but ... there we go
It's 506ing for me now.
lessons about what?
I think in that case you would be very surprised it does happen.
I think it has a lot of potential.

It would be really useful if this could group messages by the canonical URL from where the message was sent and then be logged elsewhere. Especially if it could be extended to annotate or refer to parts of the page, so that with some further tooling you could view the log and click through directly to a particular part of site in a development environment.
I feel that negative emotion from periods on the last sentence (especially for messages that are only one sentence). So if you’re wondering what age range feels that way, you can consider 30 years old your upper bound :)

I disagree about receiving multiple messages in a row. To me, composing longer messages (especially with multiple paragraphs) feels much more formal; it’s like writing an email or a letter rather than having a conversation. I do sometimes write like that, but only on the rare occasion that I need to be particularly formal.
Intel exits memory business, sale to Hynix for $9B
It's true. There is also some interesting gamification in looking at your Karma and trying to figure out why it increased.

Sometimes my karma randomly goes up a bit, and in investigating why, I get to go back and re-enjoy threads on articles because someone replied to something from a while ago, but most of all I like the impetuous is on me to go look for replies, I think it adds a level of friction that makes the HN experience better.
broken what field? for how long?
An Acer chromebook from Staples. I paid less than $200. It is new, it has 15 inch tocscreen and a celeron CPU, passmark score of which blows almost all other chromebook computers that I have seen advertising in the price range double the price of mine.

I use it to work with my company provided Amazon Workspaces windows virtual desktop. It has a client for chromebook. It is sitting next to my Core-i7 dell laptop and I only use the dell for video conferencing as the voice and video doesn't translate well over virtual desktops. It is the best computer investment I made, in the sense of bang for the buck.
By the way, when work is slow, I can minimize the AWS client and do my daily surfing reading HN etc on the same computer.

I wrote this hours ago and I want to remark that it seems that story isn't relevant to the facts of the situation gone on here and I shouldn't have invoked it. It's too late to edit my original post, which is fine, because I can still recant in a secondary post.

The story that this article is referencing may not be about marking those we dislike with an emblem meant to separate them; but, something more complicated and with many details I don't know; so, I want to roll back this particular comment.
Niacin Cures Systemic NAD+ Deficiency and Improves Muscle Performance
Depends on how you look at it.

In the UK, we have a terrible problem with runoff. Its not that we don't have enough nitrogen to put on the fields, its that the soil is so degraded that when it rains it all runs off into ditches and eventually out to sea.

In the netherlands its even more pronounced. There are cow farmers that have bought land especially for dumping effluent on.

So its not a problem of enough, its a problem of keeping it in the right place.
what have data scientists generally studied if not for statistics?
Much of lemming tendencies than anything meaningful. Everybody seem to be doing this, guided by the crowd instincts, but those with the most money, and connections (which bankers, and lawyers are) seem to score them most at that.
Both ancient farming and hunter gathering are skilled jobs that require co-operation and long term planning - I would be surprised if you or I could hack it at either job !

Farming has for a long time been this "mystery" - and afaik the debate is still ongoing. My understanding is that farming produces a regular "income" of calories, with a storage function - similar to the desire for SaaS based "subscription" income as opposed to one off sales - one is just psychologically "safer".

On top of this you can then add the farming surplus, investment in static capital like buildings etc.

My take is that it is a give and take between fixed buildings that offer protection from migrating tribes leads to giving up the following the herd which leads to fixed buildings which leads to grain storage which leads to ...

I imagine that getting caught using Signal could be dangerous, whether to an "elite user" planning a one way trip from Hawaii to Russia with a layover in HK, or even to a minor with an abusive parent-over-shoulder. In some countries, a single boolean of metadata could put you in jail or worse. A future Signal update (usernames?) may address this use case.

But update or no, it's irresponsible to proffer these scenarios as relevant to the typical westerner, especially given the abysmal privacy of the popular alternatives.

If you're reading this in English, Signal is the most effective tool for private communications available to you.

Yeah, it can definitely feel like a time-suck sometimes. What "confluence way" things would you do differently? And how?
Theory has it it was a routine job for them, hence the complacency.
You can do these things, but the communication would be harder. Because it's difficult to convey subjectivity. But it's easier to convey objectivity. Rationality is the language we have for that.

If you wish to convey your subjectivity, I think art would be a better venue than debate.
