I think discussing suicide rate overall is almost a red herring.
Rates are very low, statistically speaking. While it is often used as a proxy for major depression, depression is much more prevalent than suicide (7,000/100,000 in the US[1]) and the two don't have the same correlation when compared between countries.

For example, despite Japan's slightly higher suicide rate of 14.3/100,000, the rate of depression is the US is 4X higher than Japan's %2 [2].

If one were to to consider some sort of absurd comparative value judgement about culture, they should address the following:

The difference in suicide rate between US and Japan is 6/1,000,000 (with Japan higher).

The difference in depression is ~50,000/1,000,000 (with US higher).

IF you had to pick between the two, which would you take?

I've been using Linux as my main (and, really, only) personal OS since Windows 7 went EOL.

I have an HTC Vive. There are many VR games that don't work at all even with Proton. There are many games that do work though.

The only game that doesn't work that I truly miss is Planetside 2.

But your typical big name games do work, even ones that aren't on Steam. Doom, Factorio, Kerbal Space Program, EVE Online -- these all work wonderfully. Space Engineers works "okay" -- it has an issue where the process threads will linger in the background even after you exit.

Blizzard's Battle.net games also work great -- you just have to start it with Lutris and do some magic to enable Vulkan. WoW and Diablo III work beautifully.

If I have one complaint about Steam is that clicking the blue button to tell Steam to kill a game doesn't work. Space Engineers and World of Warships both have to be manually killed sometimes and it would be real nice if Steam would do it so I don't have to open a terminal and find the relevant Wine garbage to do it myself.

>> Not only are our energy prices among the highest in the world - how does 40 cents pr. kWh sound?

> That sounds like a great way to reduce carbon footprint. All renewable power is used, so every extra (marginal) kWh used comes 100% from CO² producing generation. A price high enough to affect consumer's usage will reduce the carbon footprint.

I disagree; itis a rather backwards view and a misunderstanding of how cheap and plentiful energy has made the human experience less harsh and more meaningful for billions of people.

In Denmark it means that many Danish homes are being heated with wood stoves, wood pellet boilers, natural gas or even old oil furnaces. Neither of these have any meaningful filtering and emit CO2, whereas cheaper electricity would make heat pumps and other electric heating much more meaningful.

Remember: Cheap energy is not the problem, unless the low price point is due to political legislating, not requiring the producer to pay the entire "bill", e.g. by not compensating for emitting CO2.

Vestas and other wind turbine producers have done some clever lobbying by getting legislators to buy their "cheap" power, while leaving the issue of baseline stability to somebody else.

Western Europe is about to finally see a substantial tech boom. It won't be due to any of the rather laughable government programs being attempted there routinely, rather, it's going to be caused by a large influx of US venture capital that has begun and will get a lot larger across this decade. That venture capital will reshape European tech dramatically, altering how they do tech start-ups and producing the first new tech giants there. European governments however will take most of the credit for the boom, because all of their efforts have failed across decades now and they're desperate. The primary things lacking in Europe have been enough risk capital and the shaping (how it's done, how you rapidly scale tech giants globally), the US VCs will bring that capital and the understanding of how to build giants (which Europe entirely lacks); they have all the talent necessary. Also, tech salaries in Europe will increase dramatically as they begin building some giants that poach at ever higher salaries.

> Easy access to nature means I can go on a scenic five-mile hike between lunch and dinner.

So can I, as I mentioned there's a major state park within the city limits where I live...

> It means I can see a beautiful view without planning a day trip.

Incredibly vague and subjective. What constitutes a "beautiful view"?

> I can meet with groups of friends of all fitness levels and enjoy a pleasant afternoon outdoors where we all have fun.

Not unique to the SF Bay Area at all.

Again I think this is very much a cherry-picked definition of "easy access to nature" that is designed to preclude any place not named "SF Bay Area." Still, the kinds of things you were describing can be found in metro areas all over the country.
I would assume it's so expensive due to data usage. Anything over LTE I've seen has ridiculously low data caps. I think as part of this funding the FCC should have a mandatory requirement of no data caps, or a cap of something more reasonable like 10TB a month that increases 5TB every X number years.
Not all tiny fans are loud. I built a very quiet Raspberry Pi IP camera[1] actively cooled by a little Noctua fan[2], and it's so quiet I can't hear it when I put my ear up next to it (as you'd expect from a fan that costs almost $1 per cubic centimeter).

Sounds like your friend realized it. Listening to your body and seeking out professionals if it sends negative signals is probably a better strategy than asking a doctor before any activity, unless you already know you have serious medical conditions.

I was once in a similar situation where after recovering from surgery I found I could only walk short distances before becoming lightheaded and tired. I asked a medical professional for advice. He told me to get over it. I'm lucky I didn't have to pay for this information.
Because applications on the web are increasingly that -- full applications.

I create scientific models and simulations for use in schools. Whether it's simulating a hurricane, or continental drift, electronics, or molecular interactions, the simulations themselves need to run on the browser, and all the UI that provides the users with all the affordances to interact with the model needs to also be written in JS/TS.

I think your questions are just revealing a failure of imagination/experience for what kinds of applications run on the web these days.
Doesn't plain JS add developer overhead in the form of bugs and code the team doesn't understand a few weeks or months later?

Awesome to hear! May I ask how you've gotten Space Engineers to work?
> and we also are exploring using TPM remote attestation

I can already tell this is very likely not going to work fully, or even work for a sizeable chunk of Linux installations out there. Many platforms don't have TPMs, or have TPMs from unknown CAs. Or firmware that you're not aware of. Or even worse, people might just be running a Linux distribution that you don't know about. Or a patched kernel. Or a bootloader that doesn't measure the next stage into TPM. Not to mention, even the most popular distributions allow you to do anything with root access, things that you just won't be able to measure, but that might allow people to cheat.

TPMs really only make sense for _very_ controlled environments if you want to prevent hardware tampering at this level. The diversity of Linux distributions (and PCs in general) truly works against you here.
Economic growth that isn't evenly distributed is not good.

If you're a poor person, you'd (probably) rather have a cheap home in a poor city surrounded by other poor people, than be the poor person stuck in a gentrifying neighborhood which is getting increasingly hostile to your presence.
Generally, if you are fired for poor performance, or poor conduct, you are not eligible for unemployment benefits. If the company is eliminating your position or downsizing, then you are.

There might be specific criteria that needs to be met for each, so details matter. My guess is the reason my employer does not dispute unemployment claims is they've calculated that the cost to dispute them exceeds the amount they expect their unemployment insurance contributions to go up.
This is a great idea. Do you know of any further reading on fundamentally redesigning housing in practical ways?

I agree, but at some point you have to decide if the tradeoff between the freedom to run whatever you want is worth the invasiveness of having an anticheat software analysing your system in-depth for cheating softwares is worth it.

In a way, it's true that it's none of their business which softwares you use, but it's also their business to make sure the multiplayer experience is fair for the entire userbase.

I guess that's the beauty of games consoles, where the execution of softwares is tightly controlled to minimize piracy and cheaters.
List of people surprised by Tinder selling data to advertisers:

Jokes aside, I don’t think the people using Tinder care at all, or can be convinced why they should care. I’m curious, because it never comes up on HN, but are there serious competitors to things like Tinder that are more transparent about how they operate? I feel like all the money is in hiding the details of your “love algorithm” because it’s complete BS, makes it easier to sell as magic if you can’t see the man behind the curtain.
I would say of Jaron Lanier that he also believed had figured everything out already, he just turned out to be wrong, which can be a bit of an experience to deal with.

Why anyone would elevate either of these two to "public intellectual" is beyond my grasp.
Are there any caveats to these subsidies, like allowing the government to tap all Starlink connections for surveillance, etc?

I mean the U.S. government already has such deals with other ISPs, and now the U.S. military wants to use Starlink, too, so I wouldn't be surprised if the DoD got involved in this FCC deal with SpaceX for more reasons than one.

So many of the reasons I loved Bootstrap revolved around the limitations of CSS 7-10 years ago. CSS Grids, Flexbox, and browser standardization has pretty much eliminated my desire for a CSS framework.

Loved Bootstrap back in the day. Not sure I see the point anymore though.
Some Japanese people I speak with who work in the marine industry believe that whales are a major threat to fish stocks and are gobbling up all the fish so that not enough is left for humans.

I don't believe that's true and make an effort to persuade them otherwise. But at the very least I'm sure that many Japanese people (based on what they have been taught) earnestly do not see an incongruity between whaling and a desire to protect the oceans.
My range hood will actively draw smoke from 10+ feet away, so I have to assume it has no problem sucking up virtually all the gases coming from the flames 3 feet directly below it.

Apparently, some of the worst things that can be said about Paul Graham are that: (1) he is a centrist, (2) he got rich through his work, (3) he does not hold the US public education system in high regard, and (4) he advocated the use of, and was involved in trafficking Lisp code. About as eye-opening as it is shocking (i.e. in either case not much).
Tbh if you know JavaScript well all these frameworks work like js. I build couple websites using vanilla js and when using any framework I can tell what it is doing behind the curtains because I have done it myself dozen or times in multiple lines of normal js

Metal also leverages the neural engine. It's transparent, of course. I can't find the reference but it may have been one of the original Metal Apple Developer Conference (ADC) sessions where they let that slip.

Of course other frameworks could leverage it too. As for direct access, I'm not sure. I think I did mix up API and framework in my response :)
People who point out problems are called toxic, not because they are in anyway injuring others, but because attacking them is easier than addressing their criticism.
Agreed. The tech industry had a very deep and localized impact in the last 30 years, but the conditions that led to the CA boom extend well beyond tech. Broadly, the ports, agriculture, weather, culture of tolerance, universities, natural spaces, etc. all contribute to the "innovation melting pot". If you are going to start a startup, CA provides much more than just VC funding.

Tangentially, lots of folks complain about high CA taxes, but these taxes largely go towards local projects and paying local salaries (unlike Federal taxes). These projects and jobs are direct stimulus to the economy and also provide a large potential customer base to startups. This is likely playing a bigger role in the startup ecosystem than most people realize.

On a more specific and personal anecdote, the green/clean energy sector is heavily based in CA because CA was an early mover in climate change energy policy and regulation. These policies started in the 70's, and the long slow growth of the industry that they enabled may be the primary reason that the US is even remotely in a position to try and tackle climate change (still a long way to go though). It takes a certain cultural and political climate to embrace these types of things, especially when the potential return on investment is on such long timescales.
I assume Tinder and the like is doing every shady thing possible to profit off users, but what seems especially gross about this is that they apparently dont limit this to users of their service, but also people applying to work at Tinder? Big YIKES, extra gross.
I'm aware of that and, to my bafflement, the paper isn't even that bad! It looks like fairly bog-standard "huh, ok" work. I have no idea why it would be requested to be retracted completely with no ability to simply revise/resubmit or to allow the academic peer review procedure, a move that from what I understand from other googlers is completely out of line with the norm there.

This whole thing is a confusing mess.

But she isn't a victim because of her life experiences; it's because of her skin color and gender identity.
Maybe so but is that a good reason to to drum up distaste for that person? Crikey! Having nice things is a ethical crime-in-of-itself now? Even if he did lots of nice things? Those things do not matter, the main issue is he had a nice life and once said something a bit weird. Do you not see this is a terrible line of reasoning?
No, they're not almost pure starch. They are about 17% carbs (including 2% dietary fibre and 1% sugar, the rest being digestible starch).

For context, corn chips are over 60% carbs. Vegetables (even "bad" ones with less protein and more carbs) are actually often kinda healthy.
The other commentators are really just pointing out that this kind of thinking is toxic. Imagine someone accuses you of sexual misconduct, and later the allegation is publicly proven to be misplaced. But you still get weird looks from your peers... How would you feel?

I don't believe the subsidies are meant to subsidize the customer. Rather they are subsidizing the upfront capital cost to build out infra.

In other words, they get all the money, even if no one subscribes.

There is nothing in the article about customers personally benefiting from this. SpaceX could take the money and put it towards ground infr., etc., customers only seeing reduced payments due to NRE/maintenance subsidies. It sounds like SpaceX has quite a bit of autonomy here.

I agree with you that sometimes downvoting can come across as pretty irrational/emotional, and like any community HN has its echo chamber qualities. However in my time here I'd say that's the exception, not the rule. The majority is actually pretty fair.

Side note, if you want my 2 cents, I'd guess the reason why your comment on the System76 laptop was downvoted is because you said "X is just better than Y" with minimal evidence and you didn't present it as an opinion. If your comment said something like "My opinion is..." or "Anecdotally" I think you likely would have gotten voted up instead. Don't take it personally, the community here tends to be very focused on hard evidence or being clear about an opinion being that.

Two more questions:

Can the subsidy be used to accelerate making the service available to more users sooner, and at higher quality? Most likely yes, because with the design of Starlink, more satellites gives better service.

A related question: Were early subsidies into solar power a big help in climbing the learning curve while solar power had uncompetitive performance/$, or did advancements in related disciplines like chip manufacturing carry most of the weight?
