People also have access to touch screens for desktops though, and in some cases no keyboard.
There is a ton of examples of societies where people don't want to build enterprises. Medieval Europe, where guild and social strata regulations prevented any large enterprise, except maybe large merchant operations. Sime of the poorer modern-day African countries, where social norms prescribe that any fortune has to be divided with the extended family, so concentration of assets to keep building something large is hard.

I frankly think that the American model of free enterprise with reasonably few restrictions made most to improve the well-being of its population.

The Political Compass Test
I've generally seen the opposite, salt works well multi0-platform, ansible is geared toward the LTS distros. It's extremely easy to get bug fixes into salt, and I've done a few dozen.

The biggest issue I see with ansible is the amount of discipline required to use it well. Junior staff will create non-idempotent plays. I don't really see that with salt, where shelling out is pretty rare (the benefit of NIH?).
The Tarantino Argument for Unconditional Basic Income
npr is an awful source for good information about covid, as it's especially partisan and fearmongering on this issue. and this article just continues that tradition with poor reasoning that's not meant to provide proof but rather political fodder, division, and (they hope) donations.

>then writing off the rest as spiritual mumbo-jumbo

Because a lot of it _is_ spiritual mumbo-jumbo.

The books "The Mind Illuminated" and "Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha" occasionally get recommended on here and are pretty mainstream books, supposedly backed by "brain science" and written by two PhDs. Let me give an excerpt from "The Mind Illuminated":

"The first practice involves cultivating the so-called “higher knowledges of the mundane type.” These are:
1. The “higher powers,” which are said to allow a yogi to perform miracles such as walking on water, or walking through walls. [...] 4. Knowing the minds of others, which is a form of telepathy. 5. Recollecting past lives"

And this isn't presented as a "oh, here's this historical context", it's presented without any real comment next to the jhanas.

Or, a nice bit in "Mastering the Core Teachings of the Buddha", talking about pyschic powers:

"On the other hand, it does seem to be possible through powerful intent, strong concentration ability, appreciation of interdependence and careful experimentation to manipulate what we might call “this world”,as well as those in it, in very unusual and profound ways. Yes, I am referring to such things as telekinesis, mind control, reading other peoples thoughts, pyromancy, and all of that. The more you get your concentration and insight trips together and the more you look into the magical aspect of things, the more you will learn about what I will call the magical laws of the universe and how to use your will to manipulate it."

You know why people are skeptical of things like "awakening"? Because it's sold in the same breath as all the religious parts, making it impossible to discern which is what. If the cost of getting to 'the deep parts' means having to not dismiss such obvious bullshit like pyromancy, I think society will do fine with such 'disservice'.
If you've never used the McDonald's app, then you can place an order, but the store doesn't receive it and do anything until you arrive at the store and it detects that you're there. During this period, you can cancel the order. My guess is that's what he's doing.
OAuth 2 implementations are bizarrely different and frequently custom. Absolute nightmare to figure out the subtle differences based on who you are talking to
> What will happen if domain-specific entities protect their specific regions and there are issues with other entities near-by?

Domain here meaning function, not territory. What we currently have for local law enforcement is mainly territory-based all-purpose paramilitary forces. (State and federal law enforcement is mostly divided among domain-specific agencies, most of which report to top-level departments with some focus other than generic law enforcement.)

> but by which force should domain specific forces not fight each other if central authority is disbanded?

No one has suggested disbanding central authority, either at local or higher levels, only disbanding centralized all-purpose local paramilitary law-enforcement agencies.
That is a bit of a non-sequiter. How will you get people to sign up for these domain-specific entities?

Activists are going to decide they don't like them and start stalking them as well.
Contrastive Learning of General-Purpose Audio Representations
The problem is that our fancy new infinite scrolling pages break ctrl-f in browsers, as they cycle content in and out based on the viewport or collapse threads by actually removing the content from the page.

The downside is that the site's built-in search feature is always worse than ctrl-f at finding something on the page. Always. It shouldn't even be hard, but they're always returning garbage like 8 year old posts on completely unrelated articles instead of the stuff on the page you're currently viewing, and advanced mode is usually broken in weird and confusing ways. It seems like web designers are optimizing for the thing you never do.

Ask HN: For what service would you happily pay ~8-10 USD a month – Ideas
Hi Everyone,

I want to know from you what services you need that you would happily pay a small monthly subscription for. I am looking for something interesting and new if you would like to share that should be there.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions !!
> I suppose ice cream isn't high on the list of services they feel they need up and running all the time

Depends on the country, here it is hot 9 months of the year. People queue up for ice cream every day. McDonald's has mini stores only selling ice cream.

Maybe it's the same in hotter parts of the US (which the article is about), for example Florida.

They might replace bicycles and scooters but not pedestrians. The distances done by car and by foot are different, at least in Europe.

The original title for this post was “iSH Shell Launches on the App Store” which is significant since the project had previously spent several years on TestFlight.
Based off the information at the site and the tweets, the most sensible explanation is that it's a single order that gets attempted, but the cart gets cleared. Rather, it's the sheer number of locations that McDonalds has licensed it's name to that cause the dollar value.

Given the cost of $1 for a cone, he's checking 18,752 locations per minute, or about 1.28x the number of branded restaurants in the US + Canada.
Considering that all of these machines come up/down cyclically and automatically for sanitizing (pasteurizing) purposes, as described higher ITT, you're a great example of how data can be massaged to drive whatever narrative you want.
To be fair, Halide is pretty great. I found it through HN. I'm surprised Apple didn't buy them yet, since they don't seem to be at risk of being Sherlocked.
One implies neglect or incompetence, the other implies a limitation of a system.

Some people would look down on a franchise or a restaurant or a business that had super high failure rates. Like if the comedy section of Netflix went down every 3 times you tried to visit that section. As opposed to Netflix having some system level limitation requiring them to perform some magical dance and perform some spell every few days to keep the server room from exploding.

You would perhaps give Netflix more leeway and not feel as much disdain and switch to a competitor if you knew that the comedy section being down every once in a while was some legitimate limit the engineers had found and not just a shoddy organization. But if you just got some nginx 500 error page randomly you would be like 'wow this site is hot garbage'.
> What is wrong with “isolationist individualism”?

The enormous externalities of supporting that lifestyle, whose costs are frequently borne in the form of municipal debt, climate devastation, and by (in net, when everyone demands this and fills in-demand areas with widely spaced housing) reducing the available housing stock.
Freedivers and mountaineers both tend suffer from crippling effects of brain damage early in life due to prolonged oxygen deprivation. The dementia and alzheimer's usually come about in professionals, as they spend much more time without air compared to a hobbyist. I am unsure what the exact relation is between dive profile, brain degradation, and the long, poorly documented list of other biological variables. I don't think any of the major global war criminals ever thought to study the effects of freediving on the human brain, though there's probably some study on oxygen deprivation itself.

Now that I try to think of all the countries who have performed illegal medical experiments on prisoners... I didn't expect the list to be this long in my head... I thought it would be shorter.

Both use the jaw shape to bite into the pipe. The difference is that the plumber's wrench (never heard that name, the Swedish name translates directly as "pipe wrench") is that you can "help" it bite initially and that means it doesn't have to have as sharp teeth. The "american" pipe wrenches always seem to severely mar what they are used on.
Whenever we're able to compare imagined scifi things to "real" ones I always like seeing how close the scifi imaginer got. Hamilton's OC tattoos always seemed relatively rationally designed, with both a bent of aesthetic preference (with some people using the OC tattoos to effect butterfly wings around the eyes that change color, etc), but also functionality, with larger tattoos required for more speed/storage/etc.

As we see these develop, I wonder how close (or far) the rest will turn out to be.

Ask HN: Why doesn't Hacker News open links in a new tab?
Just wondering why it doesn't open links in new tabs like most other news aggregators. The effect is I end up having to re-open Hacker News a lot because I close my tab rather than hitting the back button. Minor issue, but it happens often enough to make me wonder why they keep it like this.
I heard of this as a kid, something along the lines of 'when walking down a street make an effort to look forward, through people (and not at them)'.

actually, I haven't yet signed up for a service that doesn't require email verification. But you may be right, that some places just do the "email verify" as to look legit but don't actually require. I guess and hoping it's just randomness but disconcerting so many people have my name ;-) But in places I would never have thought. It's like being Mr. Jones Smith Johnson but in China.
Cloud based clock.

Don't you mean NTP? We've had this technology for years! If it's connected to the internet, it's a pretty fundamental piece of pretty much any networked OS. You can ensure correct time this way.
This is another in a long line of examples where I am coming around to the conclusion that "computer" is not what we should call these application delivery vehicles. In the post mathematician, electronic version, of the world "computer" was used to represent a tool on which the owner (or lease holder) would run "software" that could use some, or all, of the machine. And what was more, the machine ONLY ever executed software that the owner asked it to execute either directly or through the requesting of library services.

Systems that had computers in them, but ran applications written by the vendor so that the system could provide some function of value to the "owner" where always thought of as appliances. Perhaps the canonical example for our age is the Television, which has essentially one function "view video content" which is assisted by a control for selecting video content source. And yet, televisions today, have very powerful computer complexes within them that run vendor software.

The modes breaks down for me when you combine them, both because the software the vendor provides for their "computer" to provide application like services is written to defend itself from change/influence by the owner who has access to the computer.

From Apple's perspective, they are walking toward a world where one of the applications you can run on your device is "computer", which is nothing more than a virtual machine that you have virtually full control over (pun intended). IBM had a really great model of this called VM/370. Everything is a VM.

It’s also that Chrome is derived from an open source core which allows companies like Microsoft to use their engine to compete with them. So it is better than the IE days in that way.
> Bitcoin is a single mechanism whose characteristics have entirely predictable consequences.

Cash is a single mechanism, that also predictably allows robbers to more easily offload their loot than if it was livestock, jewels or silverware. Are cash and other fungible assets automatically evil once they're on the internet?

You can cite random examples of crimes committed using Bitcoin, but that still doesn't begin to address the initial argument to which I replied: is cryptocurrency inherently evil? Will it cause more good in the world than bad once it is widely adopted?
The article seems to gloss over the enormous contribution CommonMark made to ensuring a consistent and versatile interpretation of markdown, mostly by examining edge cases no one thinks about until they appear in the wild.

In both of your 1950s examples, those expenditures flowed into the greater economy resulting in multiple additional taxable transactions while also supporting the livelihoods of one or more other economic participants. In other words, exactly what we want. But on a further note: these expenses never went away, many companies still do these kinds of things today.

The present day shenanigans were Apple and Amazon (note: Apple takes historical credit for being the first tech company to implement this structure) hiding profits in Ireland through the double dutch or similar structures. However, the EU has already attempted to crack down on the use of that structure and deemed it illegal. Companies that currently use the structure may be grandfathered in as a result of EU court decisions but no new companies can get implement the structure. Apple especially has been hoarding money overseas and not doing anything with it. In contrast, companies with higher tax rates have been very active about spending their overseas money rather than bringing it back to the US, precisely to avoid paying the higher taxes that repatriation would incur.

Yes, it's counterintutive. But it's how the world actually works.
Funny considering the only GM product you've owned was based around a Toyota, but somehow made horrible.
It's hardly a social norm. LSD was discovered in our lifetimes, and hasn't yet reached its peak popularity, I don't think, due to legal status quashing its growth. Its omission from the workplace is hardly a well-established norm because its presence—basically, anywhere—is hardly a well-established norm.

The workplace, meanwhile, is far, far from finished in development. I expect it'll be unrecognizable by the end of the century, and who knows what molecules might join caffeine?
>This is something that yogis have been saying for 1000s of years, using breathing techniques like 'pranayam'.

Well, sure, and they've also been saying for 1000s of years that if you just meditate hard enough you'll get supernatural abilities.

If you mix religion and actual knowledge, I think you should expect to generally be dismissed until there's some more evidence.
Please be nice.

This comes up occasionally. I don't find it to be particularly helpful, even though I do think betterexplained has been a strong source of gaining intuition into various subjects.

Well starving could be considered just a 100% diet rate. Clearly that would be catastrophic so any claim that dieting is beneficial is obviously fallacious and in fact we would be better off eating more.

1. They also shut down schools and bars and restaurants. It was not only churches.

2. It is possible to hear the word of God without physically going into a church. It is not possible to move from one place to another without being in a vehicle to move from one place to another. There is no way to virtually get in an aircraft.

3. Church is a habitual destination; most people do not ride an aircraft every week. This means that the total volume of people affected in this risky way is a lot lower because the total number of people flying is lower and the number of times that those people interact with others is lower. The mere cost alone is enough to deter people from getting in an aircraft each week to fly around.

4. There are fewer aircraft and airports in this country than there are churches. This makes it easier to verify mask compliance. Churches have been shown to defy common-sense mask restrictions very often.

5. There have been many cases of churches being the epicenters of serious outbreaks that kill many congregants because people said that God would worry about it. There were videos in March of Christians saying that they didn't need to wear masks because they were "bathed in the blood of the lamb", and no one was able or willing to do anything about that, whereas maskless passengers get kicked off aircraft. To my knowledge, there haven't been very many or any high-profile cases of many people dying because they all got on the same flight, yet the same cannot be said for churches in the United States.

Exactly. However, if you look at the Economist excess deaths tracker, one could estimate a likely death toll with less stringent restrictions: https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/07/15/tracking...

Taking Brazil, they had about 62 excess deaths per 100k (who knew Brazil was so dangerous in general?). I'm rounding down because I can't be bothered getting a calculator, so using 50.

Taking this level of excess deaths and applying it to the US, we get 600k excess deaths (so 3x the reported total). Using the excess death numbers for the UK, 90 odd, and again lazily rounding, we'd get 1.2 mn excess deaths this year.

I think the OP's point was actually pretty reasonable, and will look much more accurate in a few years when we have better excess deaths data and (hopefully) this pandemic is over.
The clock probably resets when the power goes out or the fuse blows. They would need a battery as a backup to keep the time current.
Four to five hours, so let's say that happens daily and machines are out of commission 20% of the time.

Currently it's early afternoon and the site says that over 8% are out.

That's about halfway between "all overnight" and "all at completely random times".

Are almost half of the clocks set wrong? Assuming that the actual number of broken machines is relatively small.
