We take a preponderance of correlation as evidence, but we can't really provide rigorous proof. I mean, imagine what a double blind study to, say, 'prove' that smoking causes lung cancer would entail. The ethics of causing something we have reason to suspect is harmful to a population sample is ethically extremely problematic; hence, all we frequently have is correlative.

Even when it's something there isn't as big an ethical issue for it's usually not single blinded, let alone double. Diet, for instance; the groups know what they're eating. Did the differences happen because of the different diet, or because of something else (such as increased energy leading to more exercise, or the perception that they were eating 'healthy' lead to them actually becoming so, or picking up other healthy habits? Etc).

As I said, establishing causation -with any degree of rigor-, is basically impossible. Otherwise we're just left with "hey, a whole buncha correlative studies indicate this, so, maybe take it as true?"
All the reviews on Google app & iOS app store on whitehatjr are FAKE.
On the MacPorts side, I know that at least Saagar Jha (who posts on HN often) did indeed have a DTK. Perhaps consequently (?), MacPorts does support ARM right now.
How? I don't see how it makes ZFS more flexible. Users still need to have every storage device installed on the computer before creating the RAID configuration. They can't start with the drives they already have and then add more drives over time. At least not without essentially recreating the array from scratch.
"The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

"Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

"But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet."

`contextlib.suppress(BaseException)` is possible if you really want to (although both this and the bare except clause should be avoided anyway).
Personally? I have a few jobs that gave me a ton of cross functional experience but were really shitty jobs that made me completely burned out and not want to do any work anymore. However, the discussion and design phase still really interested me so I took up PM. I get to do the part I still enjoy and skip the past I no longer want to do.
> In India [red] represents purity.

Does it? There's a lot of subcultures here, so maybe - can someone from north India confirm if this is a thing there? Here in south India, there's no such association with purity I can think of. It generally represents danger and anger and such things similar to in the West.
I think the whole "we got the idea from the Koreans/Soviets" thing is just a cover, and the truth is that MKULTRA was an extension/continuation of experiments which got their start in the Nazi concentration camps.
DTKs were $500 USD, not free.

You can also convert usb-c charger into specific laptop chargers with the appropriate barrel/rectangle adapter (search for usb-c pd trigger + laptop model on aliexpress). Caveat: the laptop doesnt know the max wattage of the charger, it's your job to make sure it gets 60W or 90W from the USB PD adapter
There's a distinction to be made in corporate vs individual uniqueness. It is easier for an individual to pivot and try something completely new.

Am I too stupid to understand this, or does it make no sense?
H.R.1668 – IoT Cybersecurity Improvement Act of 2020
An ESP32 can have 1 or 2 cores, running at 160+MHz. It has built in Wifi and Bluetooth, and usually 500KB and 4MB of Flash that programs can run out of.

IIRC, that compares reasonably well with a 486 or Pentium computer running a single application, especially when you realize it's not running a GUI. A decent amount of software of that era was inteprreted - that's when Javascript and Python first came into existence.

The yellow background to the text is the only major problem for me. Otherwise, it seems like a perfectly cromulent UI.
It's worth noting, btw, that this is another major difference between Homebrew and MacPorts. MacPorts maintains tons of their own patches, whether to make software work at all or just to add support for older or newer OS's.
To me, hostile implies offensive action. These generally appear to be defensive. I think the differentiation is worth noting.
Nearly every substance has an LD50. I wouldn't say they should be used for that, but trying to attack something like the death penalty at that level seems absurd given that there are so many alternate means.
So what's more worth the $200 in upgrade. Double the RAM, or Double the disk space?
I'm happy with mine, but it gains ~1s each day w.r.t. the national radio clock signal. I normally adjust it every couple of days.
> the biggest line item for pharmaceutical companies is their advertising budget

There seems to be some tension between that and a $14,000/month leukemia drug. The drug companies shouldn't really need to advertise life saving medication.

The world is full of surprises, but I assume the advertising budget is more for the less important medications where people have to be more active in seeking them out.
One very easy way is to promise it to an external customer without first clearing it internally. This can most easily take the form of signing off on Sales putting it into a contract.

Of course, in any sane organization this would result in the PM's immediate removal. But not all organizations are sane.
Not the poster, but when I actively think about it, I use common sense, ask for clarification, use some imagination, and a reasonable margin of error (imo). Then I try to judge the situation/reaction.

Without that, the word overreaction is meaningless.
I agree. In my case, my art teacher told us, almost 20y ago now, that we shouldn’t use pure black in digital design because it‘s unnatural. He failed to explain why though, and I never found an argument that didn’t sound dogmatic, so I‘ve filed it under cargo cult.

That last paragraph:

> Before he goes, I sneak in another question: given that he uses the word in his book’s title, how does he feel about the future now? “I don’t make a lot of plans. I’m a little – I sometimes wonder how… ” he trails off again. Until so recently, he maintained momentum: travelling, golfing with his friends, determinedly moving forward. How is he finding staying still? “Some of those changes are hard. But as limited as I am in some regards, if you’d told me when I was diagnosed that I’d have this life now and do the things that I do, I’d have said, ‘I’ll take it.’ I can move around – it takes some planning, but I can move. I can think, I can communicate and I can express affection. What else do you want?”

That's really profound. It's time to get off the computer and call my parents.
Nail clippers. You never know in what room, in what car, or with which pack you'll be when you realize it can't wait any longer.
Ring afaik doesn’t allow anyone live-stream access other than the owners and those directly added to the app. Now we’re talking about the ability to give the police department a livestream, something neighbors can’t currently do. They don’t have to build it.
Reddit honestly killed news for me because of the trump presidency. For years I thought he'd be removed from office. Turns out redditors blew unbelievably small things out of proportion to the point that many including myself just ignored it cause it would change anything.

Getting off reddit has been one of the best things in my life. Discord has helped find more positive outlets for me to waste my time.

But lastly, get a hobby that isn't just working on getting better at something. It's cool if you can do like 30 different things, but that's hard. Know your limits and budget screw around time to help unwind.
As a single data point, this is interesting: "GitHub's ElectronConf postponed because all the talks (selected through an unbiased, blind review process) were to be given by men."[0]

What's interesting, I suppose, is not that the selected speakers were all men (which could have happened by random chance), but the reaction by the conference organisers to that fact.

I just bought the base model Air. No issues with the RAM thus far, but know that the disc space is going to be an annoying limitation. Will swap it for the 512GB model in the next week or so.

Absolutely stunning computer though - first time back to Apple for over 8 years for me.
No one gets paid for preventing problems.

That may be true now but it seems like a recipe for disaster (check 3-4 ongoing disasters outside my window, yep). I assume in earlier eras society prepared for disasters, paid people to prevent disasters and so-forth. Has something changed?
The helpful/not-helpful flag should reveal to them what pages have problematic views or components. If it’s like other simpler feedback mechanisms, they see a lot more engagement with it than with the system you were using.

Aside from that, I think their support resources prioritize their paid customers. I know a former employer of mine was able to get the attention of support.
At the end, the article says that these design features don't solve the problem of homelessness. Clearly they don't, but several of these would be used in front of private property, not city property.

How wrong is it for, say, a store owner to use these features to keep homeless people away from their storefronts? I can understand store owners being concerned about a loss of customers if there are homeless people nearby.
> Religion may be pervasive in cultural norms and social mores, but by no means are they as pervasive into everything we do as public policy are.

Not that long ago religion WAS public policy (and depending where you live on the globe it still is; it's a spectrum).

We slowly segregated religion out of the business mattering for everyday life, but that just left a void what got filled by the same social and psychological mechanism that underpins religions.

While I believe it's incorrect to state that the current identity based political climate is just religion in disguise, it does share a hell lot of characteristics to dismiss the ties.
So it's the new Medium.
I use docker-machine on macOS with a custom kernel for SocketCAN support. I use a script for port forwarding and some files to be shared in to get ARM emulation working.

It has mostly worked out fine so far.
What? It’s literally titled “On the death of a cofounder”. How are you confused?
> can't build an organization without making decisions some people will call political. What's the issue?

The issue is that when someone says "let's stay away from politics", it's pedantic and obtuse to start listing things that in some way involve politics.

It's clear what they meant: the more something is related to politics and unrelated to work, the more we should try to avoid it.

Your response does the exact opposite of that, bringing up a bunch of hot-button political issues tenuously related to work, which is a great way to bring more conflict about politics into the workplace.
ok. i see what you mean. what a waste of time. i really don't know what to say.

is it the hubris of our time that we imagine that our shallow disapproval has value even when we are faceless/anonymous. now this reminds me of that black mirror episode, nosedive.

Because it's virtue signaling all the way down. Not to be hateful, but if you look how the groups align it makes little sense. Those who most seek to protect those ignorant people call terrorists, or illegals who need to be sent back, are also those who support gay rights, despite the fact those two groups historically and currently trend strongly against it. I'm not trying to ruffle any feathers, I'm just an observer fascinated with how things are playing out. But recently it seems these virtues we all must follow or die only apply to Americans, and that doesn't sit well with me.
The issue could be a matter of outrage, though, here in India the FOMO by parents (and students) is rather structural - been on since forever whether it is likes of Aptech/NIIT since late 90s.

Here are some pointers:
High-school science grds that seek STEM undergrad education in India is over 5-million annually.
Commerce & Humanities is looked down upon as barely has any value in terms career prospects (Some top high-schools don't even offer Humanities).
For STEM subjects, over 5-million aspirants compete for less than 100K 'meaningful' seats - cuthroat yet?

FOMO in the failed education system is structural. Else to blame companies from byjus, to unacademy, to upgrad, all of which claim to deliver on "Career Changing Education" at high-markups, is lame!
Swolgenix XL

The manufacturer provides a brief description of SwolGenix XL and the full list of ingredients is disclosed. But, there is no mention of any clinical tests that may have been performed on the formula and the site doesn’t even provide any consumer success stories or reviews. Consumers can order a free trial of the product but doing so will enroll them in an auto-shipping program; unless they cancel promptly, they’ll receive and be billed for SwolGenix XL every month.

This is a bizarre comment to make from my point of view.

I truly love this community and I've been called out, voted down, voted up, etc. It's always with authenticity and with articulate responses.

Honestly this kind of comment feels like clickbait, which is truly frowned up within this community and will definitely mark you.
Does anyone know if any instances where there is "pro-homeless" architecture?

Most people would like to sweep the homeless under the rug, so to speak, but there are still some people who want to help the homeless. What architectural changes would such a person or organization make?
There's a reason progressives don't like him.
I really don't understand the love of one liners. Yes it's cool to see how much can be done in one line but it's so much harder to read. Isn't legibility far better than compactness?
Every A/B test is this, to some degree. Every ad run with variants is also.

Facebook did specifically do a test to see if emotions spread between people through the news feed. They didn't create posts to manipulate emotions, but they did track people after seeing emotionally charged posts in their feeds.

I've been shooting short clips from interesting moments of my day. I've accumulated enough that I can go back to previous year and see what I was doing that day.
I rollerblade a lot, so I have a large amount of these clips. And overall, I seem to do a lot of the same things over and over. I don't know if thats good or bad, but these clips definitely point out the patterns in my life. The interesting part I found looking them over is the day by day change of seasons. I now have a record of when the leaves fell off the trees, and when the first snow fell in my region. So I'm more aware when these changes will happen this year. I also seem to be fixing things a lot. So it made me more conscious of buying so many things, that will just break.
Birthdays, and family dinners stand out as happy moments.
Is like medium, but as a writer you have more control. You have a list of your subscribers. You can charge and decide how much.
I was in High School with 300 other kids and there were at least two dozen of us who at the very least toyed with assembly on either the TRS-80, a VIC-20 or an Apple II, and knew enough that we wanted to know more. I grew up in a farming community in Illinois.

I doubt that there were millions in any single country, but over the entire world, I would be very surprised if "millions" is not accurate. (Precision is another discussion)
Pretty much. It's the job of an intelligence agency to research all such theoretical tools. There are just ethical and unethical ways of doing so.

The key issue with MKULTRA was the use of unwitting subjects. They'd dose people with LSD without their knowledge, let alone their consent, causing at least one person to kill themselves. If any of us worked for the CIA, we'd probably be interested in researching LSD, too; just not like that.

I loved MacPorts, greatly preferred it over Brew, and used it all the time on Mac OS back then on my PowerBook and my dying Mac Mini, but doesn't Apple's notarization requirement make it impossible to compile from source to create runnable binaries?
I know the readme says not vulnerable to length extension, but couldn't you create a collision between

M, and E(M)?

Took a quick look at the source, seems it would be possible because E(M) is just M joined with 1e until it's bigger than O(max(A, B, C))

It's funny seeing this question because in the early 2000s it was designers complaining "what the hell do clients mean by 'pop'?" Now it seems designers have adopted the lingo and it's others asking designers this question.

The reason their advertising budget is so high is that they have a small number of years within which to recover a billion dollars in development costs. They have to find customers fast for new drugs, they have no time to waste, and that requires aggressive marketing. Companies don’t advertise for laughs since it costs money, it has a concrete ROI.

It is a matter of incentives. If you want them to spend less on advertising, you’d have to provide them with a much longer time to recover development costs. Which also has significant downsides.
>They earn something like $4/hr + their portion of the tip share.

One reason JS makes sense (in; for example, robotics): For all of JS’ problems, it handles async wonderfully. I can think of plenty of actions in robotics that boil down to “do these 3 things concurrently and then do thing #4 when they all complete” and Promise.all or async/await are helpful constructs to have when designing those instructions. It won’t be as performant, but the developer won’t have to worry about polling or communicating across threads/processes

That’s not a knock against assembly, or to say that the same can’t be done in C with time and skill. But in many cases, compromising performance for developer efficiency is a good call.
If everyone does this doesn’t it become a problem that no one is being informed? How can we vote or make decisions on trends if everyone is only reacting to major events?

But I do agree, my stress goes down when I tune out the news.

I mean, I don't mind contextual ads.

I am somewhat sensitive to data mining but I guess not as much as other people on HN, given I am almost anonymized on the internet.

The worst thing about ads is security, and that's why I block ads even if I am browsing with significantly anonymous profile. Performance is a nice bonus.

I don't think data-mining based ads work well in practice. User_analyze.py can't tell whether I have already purchased the product I searched an hour ago, or lost interest in it. I have yet to see a good recommendation system based on data collection. Blame the big data / machine learning hype.
I don't get the impression from the linked website, that this is for beginners...

>>> Bring your existing experience with JavaScript, but be prepared to think about performance, code size, and memory use in a different way.

I think the use case is if your application would actually benefit from the Javascript language, either because of what it can do, or to make something readable and maintainable in a way that might be hard with raw assembly.

In a similar vein, I played with CircuitPython for a while, and went back to C for my microcontroller projects. My programs tend to feed data up to a desktop computer, typically into the loving arms of a Python program.

I got into computers almost exactly 40 years ago, and the earliest exposure of most kids to programming was in BASIC. I read a book on the Z80 microprocessor, and felt that I could have at least taken a crack at assembly, but didn't have access to a Z80 machine.

Hopefully the pains we feel with this shift to arm will inspire compiler developers to take cross compiling seriously. I don't see a reason why a compiler can't output binaries for any (or even ALL supported) platforms with a single CLI flag like golang does.
