>In a sufficiently complex product/company there is absolutely no way to work where costs went. Yes the SE without a doubt just become worse value but we have no way of knowing where the money went. Likely it didn't just vanish in to a wormhole but it instead will be invested in to R&D giving a better value for money product in the future.

I'm not sure whether this is satire or an sincere attempt at arguing that price hikes are good for consumers.
Some sort of peacocking isn't useful for maintaining a good relationship with a mate, but it's usually important for _getting into_ a relationship... The same thing goes with whiteboarding and interviews.
Sounds like you need to get better hardware friend. I would say the firmware on those devices is the cause of the issue. The phone is going to broadcast a connect packet to a device it knows, it's the devices job to let it connect or not. My edifier and sony bt speakers stick to one connection until it is disconnected.

Perhaps we can agree to disagree without being derogatory to each other.

I keep seeing studies saying this but the only way I know about it is because the links run up to the top page on HN. It even gets pretty short shrift among some of my more COVID-skeptic follows on Twitter. Seems like just total silence from media and public health officials on it.
Well put. I’ve noticed a definite condescension towards those “wasteful” people in climates that virtually require air conditioning in the summer (e.g. almost anywhere in the Southern US). Yet they conveniently forget that heating in cold climates is usually more energy intensive than A/C is in warm climates.

This is the kind of post that gets restricted on Twitter these days.
> Pointing a camera at something that deducts money from you seems extremely ripe for abuse, what’s to stop someone from putting fake QR code’s over real ones and hijacking payments?

How would that work? If someone somehow put a fake QR code over a merchant's real one, the merchant or person you're paying would not get a notification when you scanned their code to pay them. Thus, both parties involved in the transaction would be alerted to the situation immediately. The wrong QR code would be tied to someone's account and be easily found by the system.
This is a strange reading of section 230. It seems like you're saying that Twitter is not a "provider...of an interactive computer service" because it is choosing what is on its platform, even though in section 2A it specifically provides protections for such providers to "restrict access to or availability of material that the provider...considers to be obscene...or otherwise objectionable". If it is not allowed for a platform to remove content they find objectionable, then why call it out as protected here?
CA data was from a quiz, developed by a researcher at Cambridge University, hosted by that researcher, which scraped FB APIs after being authorized by a user.

This data is from a browser extension, developed by researchers at NYU, hosted by those researchers, which scrapes the FB site after being installed by a user.

IMO the situations are pretty analogous.

Vitamin D is also special in the sense that it's a hormone.

> People can make a point of adding more dietary vitamin D or making sure to get a little more exposure to sunlight daily.

Getting sufficient vitamin D from diet alone is difficult. UV exposure also has risks, which may be higher for some. The required exposure time is measured in minutes a day. If you are still deficient it may be better to supplement, rather than getting exposed to UV for more time.

I won't dispute the state of Android tablets. You are right there, android tablets suck, iPad is a way better product, and it has a really good value for money ($350 ftw).

Yes, the SoC gets improved each year, but so does their ability to manufacture, i.e. the manufacturing costs should go down, and they keep spending the same amount on R&D to innovate. Economies of scale also play its part.
One should also try talking about a topic with no phones or other connected devices with microphones around. If ads start appearing after that, you've pretty much confirmed it's just recency bias causing you to notice the ads.

The paper found no relationship between vitamin d and the severity of the disease

To your question, either outcome is enough for you to optimize a diet or activity with adequate amounts of vitamin D because the process is healthier either way unless you were thinking to just try taking supplements
This comes up every few weeks on HN but nobody has ever offered any statistics that would suggest this is as good let alone better than just having the trains handle alignment automatically. It's a task humans are bad at and machines are good at, so just giving it to machines makes more sense, modulo unions.

London Underground hasn't had guards for decades at this point, and the Docklands Light Railway hasn't even had drivers (there is a member of staff who is trained to be able to drive it on every train, but they are usually doing other things) since its creation. If they're misaligning often enough for it to be possible for New York to be statistically better I haven't seen anything about it after repeatedly asking.
I found a bit of a learning curve with 2.8's input too, but I'm kind of okay with the tradeoff for newfound enthusiasm the program has with professional users.
There is not enough UV-B in sunlight for your body to manufacture vitamin D when the sun is less than fifty degrees above the horizon. This means that for the majority of the northern half of the United States and all of Canada, you can't make _any_ vitamin D from the end of fall to the beginning of spring.
Software has an increasingly large impact on people's lives - including their safety. Consider [ransom attacks on hospitals](https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2019/10/hamst...) as just one example. Even ignoring bad actors, people have made billion-dollar mistakes in Excel (there was even a recent article about how contact-tracing data being handled in Excel was lost. That can lead to real deaths, too).

No-code is great when it improves someone's ability to complete a task. Excel is still a great program, and learning VBA was my first introduction to programming. What isn't great is when companies lean on low/no-code solutions because they want to be cheap rather than do things properly.
Looks like there's more to it.

I would suspect it's harder to prove that supplements have any effect.

I mean vitamin D prevalence could be an indicator of something else..

On the other hand, it's been used as a supplement for a long time. So hopefully it's not outright dangerous in limited quantities.
Exactly this. Vitamin D level is a proxy for general health. Studies that have controlled for other factors affecting health have not found a protective effect from vitamin D [1].

Hacker News is obsessed with vitamin D because it seems like a hack. A cheap and simple way to solve a tough problem that you can feel smart about having found.

I don't think this is a good analogy. No one "does mathematics" in ZFC. Mathematicians don't express their reasoning in set-theoretic axioms; they do so in common language proofs. You can see this by opening any graduate textbook or journal.

Mainstream mathematicians are not being prevented from proving theorems because they lack "better ways of reasoning about equality of types."

The importance of ZFC is that it ensures our common language reasoning isn't incoherent (among other things). Once you've done that, you don't need to do it again.
Does anyone other than BMW have wireless CarPlay?
I don't think they were explicitly trying to interpret that term specifically, the vibe I got was that a person's character is open to interpretation. If 'grab em by the pussy' is what you wanna focus on specifically that's your deal. But there are other facets outside of just the use of that phrase. I'm not saying it was proper or the right thing to say but in context of discourse it intellectually disingenuous to use that as an excuse to shut down an entire conversation

I’ve been a hiring manager for a few roles. Every one that was posted publicly received approximately 20 applicants that were obviously not suited to the role for every one that was.

This is exclusive of any level of seniority, which I like to be flexible on where I can.

The issue can be solved by not buying a TV with a SIM (hopefully still a choice).
My game idea that I don't have the motivation or skill to start:

2 player co-op. One player pilots a tank with a forward facing gun. The other controls a turret with a big gun, small gun, and grappling hook. Power ups can be grabbed by the hook, as can terrain and enemies. View is top down arcade style. Gameplay is shoot em up style with weapon and tank power ups. Tank would have shields, and an energy system that can be allocated to shields, repair, guns, or engines, in various proportions. Pilot controls this allocation.

Enemies wouldn't use the same formations and paths each run, so you can't learn their patterns. Gameplay could be as fast or slow as you want.

Feel free to steal this idea, or pour scorn upon it. I've had this idea for 35 years now.
> Time Machine? I've never used it because my thousands of files have been stored in a cloud sync app for a decade and I don't think about backups anymore.

I’m basing the following purely on your words in this comment. Does your cloud sync app support syncing or syncing with backups, where file version history exists for a long duration and files are stored (even the locally deleted ones) till it runs out of space (and initiates cleanup at that point)? If yes, that may be ok (though still not comparable to a local backup that could be a lot faster depending on the need). If not, then it’s nowhere close to what Time Machine offers (or what a backup application like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner with history support offers).
In short With Next you control when things are rendered: SSG/SSR/CSR, so you get much more flexibility and can cover more use-cases. And it is React based, which is a huge plus, especially if you adhere to a modern style.
Don't the product segments seem much more natural with the iPod?

Shuffle - Small with no screen

Mini/Nano - Small with a screen

Classic - Classic form factor with occasionally offshoots with new features like photos or video

Touch - iPhone form factor

There seems to be clear lines of delineation between all those products. Those lines are much less clear when looking at the iPhone XR, 11, and 12.
Here are a few, and this is just at the offer stage (at which point you and your team have spent a lot of effort on a candidate):

* Candidates reneging after accepting an offer (current company made a bunch of concessions to keep them)

* Candidate reneging after accepting offer and my company getting an H1B approved for them (turns out they had interviewed with and accepted offers at multiple companies, to get multiple H1B petitions filed and maximize probability of at least one getting accepted... of course they didn't disclose this)

* Candidate accepting offer then simply vanishing

Perhaps microwaves have hardware protections to prevent heating when the door is open, but a software error could presumably still have it spring to life unexpectedly, which could potentially be dangerous

AFAIK, the magnetron power supply is physicaly connected through multiple door switches, so this is an actual unoverridable and redundant disconnect. One switch shorts out the supply when the door is opened, so that if the others fail, it will still blow the fuse and cut power. I'm pretty sure that design is due to regulation, so I don't see it ever being replaced by software.
I get it that Homotopy type theory is an alternative to set theory that is based upon topology.
What's less clear from their marketing is whether it's just yet another formulation of something equivalent (set/standard type theory/category theory) Or if like any really interesting theory it does lead to different prediction or has properties which make it superior in some ways.
Until such marketing is addressed I won't spend brain energy on learning it.

As an example, theorem provers are really an interesting topic, I heard that Homotopy type theory was used in some theorem provers but couldn't find whether it leaded to any significant improvements.

Almost all of that goes to research based on the amyloid hypothesis.

> There may be some warts right now but the community is attempting to address these warts.

Some of Bazel's design problems do feel like the outcome of a poorly executed requirements gathering process. Last time I checked, it assumed for some reason that C/C++ interface headers shared a common root folder with libraries, and if that root folder is not the immediate parent folder then it ends up including all files within that tree branch in its scope.

I also recall that the process of including system libraries that don't support Bazel is needlessly convoluted, and involved adding libraries and interface headers in separate targets just to be able to control visibility. This design oversight was specially disheartening because it made it quite clear that the use case of supporting external packages benefitted from zero attention.

I don't know what your work is, but for the vast majority of people learning HoTT is a complete waste of time.

There are many intelligent and curious people reading HN, who might be tempted to spend time understanding it because its somewhat frequent appearance here gives the (false) impression that it plays some important role in modern mathematics.

I regret spending the (large) amount of time I did learning what it is about, only to realize that's not much actual content there, and I would hope my post saves other people that trouble. There is a lot of far more interesting, elegant, and useful mathematics out there, imo.
That's because the safeguards in science guard against unintentional error.

Peer review isn't robust against political alignment because if the author and the reviewers are all making the same false unstated assumption, nobody is looking in the direction of the error. And it gets even worse if people who do see it are penalized for saying so.

The scientific method assumes good faith, good skepticism and a willingness to admit mistakes. Without that you're doing politics, not science.

I was with you until you mentioned Epic. What Epic did was a violation of a contract in a way it knew would bring about a confrontation. The judge hearing the case agreed that it was purely self-inflicted pain by Epic.

To be fair, gyp is quite awful. I mean, a low-level language to generate project files for a few IDEs from a definition file where IDE-specific settings had to be added anyway? While the source of truth is left out of the equation, rendering those project files read-only and forcing developers to reconfigure their IDEs each and every single time they updated the project? This concept seems to have been thought out by masochists.
