I've talked about this before on here [0], and would suggest to the author that he might want to consider disabling "auto advance to next episode".

The tiny amount of friction induced by having to explicitly click on "Next Episode" gives you perhaps a few extra seconds to consider if you really need to watch another episode, or perhaps get some other shit done.

There is an opportunity to reconnect with someone every time you do it. I think that's what draws people to practices such as sending cards. Another way to reconnect is sending out a letter with a short blurb about how you're doing and inviting the recipient to respond back with a short blurb about how they're doing.

His comments about Matthew Yglesias ("Yglesias, turn off the TV! Write more books instead! Heck, write more tweets, if you prefer!") made me think of Neil Gaiman's blog post [1] about George RR Martin:

> George R.R. Martin is not your bitch.

> This is a useful thing to know, perhaps a useful thing to point out when you find yourself thinking that possibly George is, indeed, your bitch, and should be out there typing what you want to read right now.

> People are not machines. Writers and artists aren't machines.

> You're complaining about George doing other things than writing the books you want to read as if your buying the first book in the series was a contract with him: that you would pay over your ten dollars, and George for his part would spend every waking hour until the series was done, writing the rest of the books for you.

Things never change. Now more than ever!

I'm old enough to remember when this was said about cable TV, video games, social media, etc. One thing I always wonder is how do you know "great minds" are succumbing to this insidious threat? Maybe it is only mediocre minds and one of the factors that make "great minds" exceptional is self-control over base instincts like entertainment?

Not everyone is convinced that being vegetarian is an option for them, and they don't have to be so convinced with this option.
A certain amount of self-criticism and cynicism is healthy and stops society from becoming complacent and sliding backwards. The more developed a country is, the higher the need for it is to maintain its status. As the US has shown in recent years, complacency erodes democracy, national status and personal quality of life.

To take the example of the NHS - it is constantly under attack by budget cuts, fragmentation and privatisation. Would it still be something to be proud of in a few decades if everyone stopped holding leaders to account?

I think you are arguing that some people are not genuine. If the price of progress is hearing people you don't care for virtue signalling, that's fine by me. I'd much rather have too much, and risk some of it not being genuine or warranted, than too little.

And I would argue that the people who genuinely want better demonstrate more national pride and a better understanding of their own culture than those sitting back and patting themselves on the back.
I wish I could understand your political comment. I've become so sick of politics and see both "sides" as being wrong, that I don't even know which is being referenced.
Best is an orthogonal process (like NMR). Cryo-EM is getting better too so maybe that will start to be viable. Sometimes that's not possible, but you can use secondary evidence: "we know these three amino acids are important band hey look they touch in our model".
You could kickstart training on simulators and then do a transfer, i.e. make adjustments to your final model, on real world data. But to learn only on generated data the problem boils down to the nonparametric features you will be using to state that the generated data is similar to the real data. What is a complex enough feature to say that images are equivalent? They might be statistically equivalent according to your features, but are they really? I think this is a very hard problem, because if we did have a good answer to this question then Tesla & co. would already be training their models on perfect simulators and we wouldn't see the glitches currently found in autonomous driving applications.
There are millions of applications with their own upsides and downsides. Focus on some of the ones with big downsides and easier replacements. Shopping bags, for example, would be easy. Car tires are hard. One thing that might help is to take money from the benefits and use it to offset the costs. Subsidize canvas bags. Tax car tires and use the money to research microplastic recovery tech like https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25246857
Seems like a huge hit to the myriad business-to-consumer chat startups that sell premium messenger experiences to brands for customer service etc. It’s also a hit to any business who has invested in chat as a service/sales channel, assuming that all chat APIs will be subject to the same limitations.

These APIs that are being limited have very little to do with user privacy and mostly impact usability. For example it looks like handoffs between chat apps are no longer possible in Europe- a company could have an entry point chat bot that routes to a live human, or routes to an order-taking bot. That routing is no longer possible without the “handoff protocol”.

It looks like users can no longer send attachments to a business either. (Or rather they can still send the attachment, but the business can’t use the api to access it?). I don’t believe this is a win for users and just shows some unintended side effects of EU legislation.

I have no problem with them trying it, although I worry about weird prion based diseases cropping up that would make a living breathing creature non viable and die, when it wouldn’t be noticeable in something lab grown until far too late (i.e. after humans have consumed it).

Basically the fact that a creature is not dead might mean that its constituent proteins are likely suitable for consumption? Obviously not bulletproof, as mad cow exists, but lab grown meat might have a much wider homeostatic range, since it doesn’t have a brain how would you know it has prions that could negatively affect brain function? How could you even test for such a thing?
Won't this attract an API lawsuit?
I get being sceptical. But "a different food technology turned out to be harmful so this one must be the same" - that's a bad argument.

k-anonymity is often only applied to "pseudoidentifiers", if you have the original dataset it'd be trivial to reverse k-anonymity applied that way. For example someone's blood pressure isn't considered an identifying variable, and would not need to be anonymised (should not too, to keep data utility high), however this would make linking against the original dataset trivial.

Not really driven home in the article, but migratory birds that depend on horseshoe crab eggs are reliant on an abundance of horseshoe crabs (because eggs are normally buried out of reach, but become exposed when secondary waves of crabs dig up previously laid eggs).

Although the industry may be careful to not deplete the horseshoe crab population, it's the lack of an abundance of crabs that causes problems for migratory birds.

(As explained to me by a birder friend of mine last month.)
I would say that is equivalent to asking Marwin. So you pass :)

In fact, this is a welcome solution to the game. When used as an educational tool, this can be used as a starting point to discuss ways to bypass intended ways of accessing something.
Most of the world doesn’t produce meat in massive centralized factories. Painting the entirety of anti-meat Americans as “meat is murder” zealots against all forms of husbandry oversimplifies the issue.

Okay but what about the unchangeable five minute idle timer in Teams?
(Promscale Team Lead Here) Promscale, which connects Prometheus to TimescaleDB also handles high-cardinality well and allows you to use both PromQL and SQL for data analysis. I'd humbly suggest taking a look. Plus our PromQL implementation is 100% standards compliant.
The phrase that jumps to mind is "Nobody committing atrocities thinks _they_ are a monster."
You're right. There are certain intangibles like that that can surely enrich the experience. Interesting that the educational value is being diminished by the absence of something without a price tag attached to it. Not as if colleges are saving money when students can't interact -- putting aside electricity or costs of that nature -- so it's not easy for students to justify that they deserve a rebate. Be nice if the more well-to-do schools dug into their fortune and made amends for the disparity b/w expected and actual value.
Strawman, I never mentioned only those.

Also this product will sooner or later be marketed as legit meat replacement.

But otherwise yes, even those who'd eat it just for protein would be idiots because eg whey comes from a natural food source beforehand which means nature has already done it's thing properly beforehand.

To think that growing stuff in a lab has no unintented consequences is beyond stupid, even if you use it "just for protein".
I thought I was clever in thinking the code to the filing cabinet would be a birthdate in MMDD format, but I never got it. "5928" made me think the code might be 5280, the number of feet in a mile, but to no avail.

They have to honor existing contracts which keep them on the hook for many years. When Larry announced they were scaling back, he specifically cited this sort of leverage being the biggest concern.
Pretty sure they do, or at least they use another SPA framework. I would have mentioned Reddit, but forgot about its rewrite because old.reddit.com still works.
Yes. The answer to that is yes.

And Apple almost certainly have had the designs in simulation and test/initial sampling already. CPU design isn't an overnight thing.

I have not experienced the "old age" of arthouses. But from talks to older people in the "scene" it's become a lot of mishmash and the same old story over and over that it's really rare to be intrigued by it.

Just saying that, because there still are some art houses here (although not sure if that's still the case post-corona), but most of their films don't intrigue me. Sometimes they do, and I'm always a bit bummed to see that the venues are half-empty when I go.

That is so amazingly blatant, they are not even trying to spin this.
In the case of Bitcoin, mining rewards decline geometrically, at a rate of 50% every 4 years. Mining fees are what any cryptocurrency with an inflation rate that rapidly declines to zero/close-to-zero depends on for security on any appreciable time scale.

That's why I said that Ethereum's long-term security prospects are better. Its mining fees have exceeded Bitcoin's and with the multi-pronged efforts to further scale Ethereum - that are vastly more promising than Bitcoin's - there is a high likelihood of these fees further increasing their gap with Bitcoin's.
That's the kind of explanation you get from anyone breaking the law and claiming it was because the law not conducive to the greater good. Every regulated sector could get the same characterization from entities failing to meet said regulation making all of it in effect invalid. Uber has deep enough pockets to lobby for changing regulation but that would apply to everyone and they would again have to fight on a level playing field. They broke the law for profit.

Robbery is illegal even if you steal from a criminal, or if people are BEGGING for someone to do it. Sure, when it's a social movement it's still breaking the law but has a different moral value. As it stands the value now is in Uber's pockets.

> The solution to this problem is not "make Uber follow the tax regulations" which seems to be what you are suggesting

No. Not only did I literally start my comment with <I never said (or meant only) "tax loopholes">, I also ended it with:

> > The solution to an industry being crap isn't to allow someone to bypass existing regulation, it's to create a set of effective regulations that can be applied equally to everyone.

I'm trying to assume good faith but replying to me while completely ignoring the content of my comment or twisting my words to imply the exact opposite of what I said is disrespectful and disqualifies your opinion in my eyes at least. Pretty sure also in the letter and spirit of HN's guidelines. Makes it seem like you don't want to be part of a conversation but rather throw your personal ideas out there everything else be damned.
>>Has something changed?

That's the wrong question. The right one is "may something change in the future?" And an answer on this: "maybe, we don't know, nobody knows the future".

That being said, extrapolation of the exponential curve a month forward is one of relatively simple ways to predict the future. And yet, it was _completely_ unexpected for the UK government. Think about that.

Let's just be clear, Jim Keller is amazing. Lex Fridman is a wooden, uninspiring interviewer who sounds like a stoned teenager, asks choppy, non-sequitur questions, and seems to only be able to get celebrities on his show because he gets other celebrities on his show.
>His opinion on how adults spend their time is meaningless. Flagged.

I'm sorry, but in my humble opinion, just because you don't agree with the content of a linked post, it doesn't mean it's not worth of a constructive discussion here on HN and should be flagged. This is ad hominem.

Sure, I could afford to watch less tv. I do have many hobbies writing, photography, etc. That I don’t as much as I’d like because of TV. However, I’m one person and TV is a great way for me to hang out with my SO. My beef w/ this is blog post is the fetishization of productivity. There are over 7 billion people on the planet. We’re getting a covid vaccine in under a year. I’m pretty sure Netflix isn’t stopping us from continuing to develop. It’s okay for people to take their shoes off.

I’ll concede that the alcoholism comparison is fair in the sense that it is addicting. However, you don’t see too many people losing their job or destroying their relationships because of Netflix.

I guess what I’m saying is that the answer is balance.
How about, as a compromise, quality over quantity. Most of trash of Netflix only last one or two seasons anyway and is then forgotten about.

Stop making terrible sci-fi like Another Life and invest in quality shows like The Expanse which are long lived and remembered.
