>Currently in the US, it seems as long as your package is hypothetically recyclable you can stamp it with the logo

I know it's logo consists of the "recycling symbol", but the logo you're talking about is supposed to tell you what type of plastic it is[1], not whether it's hypothetically recycleable.

Given that words like "language" and "notation" both come with a set of expectations, I wonder if APL and similar languages that we might as well call "notation-oriented" would have become more widely adopted if we had used "programming notation"
This sounds really interesting, I think I found the motivation to start learning game development. Are all the books for $5 here https://www.packtpub.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=game%20deve... and which would be the right book to start with?
I’m not sure that follows. Someone bought the content new. When someone else buys their old stuff, this gives them more money with which to buy new content. I suspect this is a very small effect, but I doubt it’s zero.

If you are thinking on doing web apps, I think Clojure is the best option, as it enables you to write clojure to target both server (either in clojure or clojurescript) and browser (with clojurescript, that compiles to javascript), and share code between those seamlessly (for example, protocols, specs, business logic, etc. that you may need in both sides).

That's the most extended option by far, but I'm sure that you will find other lisps that compile to javascript (not that I know them).
I found the following bugs which are very likely not related to the platform:

1. Friendly NPC left behind in mission area which was scripted to become inaccessible. Couldn't reach the NPC to finish the mission.
2. Killed an NPC two times: once in a side mission and once in a main mission
3. The player goes to sleep perpendicular to the bed and with the bottom half side of the body outside the bed.
4. Friendly NPCs start to shout randomly during stealth missions.
5. There's no driving AI, all machines follow predefined paths sometimes going through one another as if there's no collision.

And probably lots more I didn't remember. And these exclude the physics and rendering bugs and I encounter every 5 minutes.
They have to start somewhere. I'm sure we'll see more papers in the future.
Unfortunately we have zoned our cities such that we can no longer build enough housing to accommodate everyone. The pain of that will always fall the most on those who have the least to pay.
Put that way, the EU sounds more impotent than I have been led to believe, and I already thought it was a fairly impotent form of government.

Who is collecting all of these GDPR fines if not the national governments?
Ask HN: How do we know each cell has the same DNA?
Since the discovery by Watson and Crick of DNA, how have we been able to show that all cells have the same? For example we know that human gametes have longer telomeres and only half the chromosomes, we know chimeras can have different sets of DNA and we also have a microbiome that exceeds the number of human cells. Did projects try to sequence cell DNA from many parts of the human body and conclude there are no significant variations?

I mean it seems a bit too convenient and it’s hard to prove a negative. Based on what we have found in other areas of bioinformatics can’t we expect the situation to be a lot more complex than previously assumed?
What exactly are you doing that macOS being locked down is a problem? Despite the fact you can turn things like SIP off if you need to?

I ask because most of the time the answers are vague or sketchy. There are legit answers. However, usually it's along the lines of installing a game they torrented that's trying to load keylogger.kext and failing. or 'I just don't like it, so it shouldn't exist'

Those lock down parts are stopping normal people, who arn't well versed in say... not installing things from links sent from root@printer.cpa-lawyer.br claiming to be their companies ceo.
The engineers at Mozilla are just waiting to see if doing this also aligns with the social justice mission statement.
The GUI is nice to use. Plex and it brother KODI have a nice skinning/metadata system. That metadata looks very nice. They are one of the better players out there. Even if you have to rotate. You could use something like VLC or mediacenter but the user exp is just not as good. For my setup I could get away with a VLC and a folder of stuff and just drag and drop it. But that 10ft aggregated view is why I use it. If you just want to watch stuff and then blow it away then it would not be worth the hassle of setup.
I became extremely bullish on BTC after Ethereum removed their 100M soft cap on EIP 669.

It paid off.
I recently quit to start my own thing but still feel qualified to answer:

1. I frankly didn’t even know how well the pay was before they made the offer. I applied there because Facebook products have been incredibly useful in my life and that of my friends/family...most of my life’s opportunities in the last 15 years came through Facebook.
2. I was of course aware that the company also makes mistakes but my attitude going in was that I wanted to be part of making things better
3. Looking back at my 5 years there I got everything I wanted and then some. I got to work with amazing like minded peers...people that would show up everyday to do better. I found that really inspiring! As a result my baseline for excellence has been pushed upward dramatically!
4. Individuals have all the impact and power there! Management generally took a more passive approach. Their main job is to provide resources and not to tell people how to do their jobs (within reasonable limits).
5. About the bad headlines: in the first couple years I made the effort to internally research every bad story I read in the media...but not a single time was I able to confirm the headlines and allegations. Every single time it turned out that the media was mischaracterizing or misrepresenting what actually happened. The picture that emerged for me over time was that the media was incredibly incompetent when it came to tech and how to piece together information they had...and frankly just looked for things that supported their narrative
6. That’s not to say that we didn’t make mistakes or that there wasn’t problems...but I have yet to find the media writing about that in a way that advances the conversation or informs people.
7. But you will easily find people who didn’t like it there and I get it...it’s not for everyone
That wouldn't work, because it needs to execute before the analytics script. The runAt:"document_start" doesn't really do anything unless you invent time travel.
Correct! They are speaking to the intelligentsia. They seem to recognize that the target class ditched Fb long ago.
A lot of these people living there have been there for decades. You absolutely could not easily afford to move there today making only that much, but that's different. We're talking long-term existing residents with locked in rent controlled rates and/or coop owners who bought decades ago when it was still relatively affordable.

And yes, all of the "data" in the linked article is complete garbage. Don't take any of it as fact.
I agree with your numbers 1 and 2.

But I couldn't disagree more with number 3. Thunderbird is always going to be a niche product with a much smaller potential user base than Firefox.

More or less every corporation and every individual user out there is a potential consumer of Firefox--every single one who uses the web.

Thunderbird? Not so much. Many consumers prefer web-based e-mail clients or e-mail clients tied directly to the e-mail platform they are using (Gmail, Outlook.com, etc.). And Thunderbird is never going to replace Outlook for corporate mail. Thunderbird is only useful when you want a generic feature set, and it mostly competes with other niche mail clients.

Basically, every dollar invested in Thunderbird is a dollar that could be better spent on Firefox (or MDN). If anything, they should spin off development of Thunderbird into a separate company with its own independent funding structure.

I'm surprised, too. And the companies in question should be fined quite substantially, in my opinion. We need to create incentive for them to actually research the possible detrimental environmental impact of their products -- scientists shouldn't have to beg them to use substitutes and the matter shouldn't be settled with the companies responding something along the lines of "whoops, we didn't know that."
If you want federation, you want Matrix.

If you want security, run Zulip behind a firewall.

We tested a whole bunch of chat systems, and found that Zulip was the most user-friendly for less-technical people, while still having a non-annoying interface for technical folks who would have been happy with XMPP.

The only negative we've seen in Zulip is the tendency for people to occasionally respond in the last topic that they read rather than the one they meant to -- but that can be fixed by users or admins, so it's only slightly annoying now.

Is a typing speed of 300 wpm humanly possible?
I don't know if my solution is elegant or short sighted. It's hard to know because there is so much politics involved that it's hard to get a good read on my opinion.

Tax all meat, especially beef, based on the amount of "pollution"(carbon,water usage in low water areas, etc.) each "unit" of that meat takes.

At the same time, invest in nuclear. It works. There are now small nuclear stations being developed that are allegedly fallout proof.

Move to electric cars and as much electric power as we possibly can, powered by the nuclear(and to whatever extent we can, wind, hydro, solar).

We need to tax bad industries that are clearly causing us harm overall and use those taxes to fund startup costs for viable good industries like renewable energy. No reason it can't be competitive IIRC, it's just so behind in capital compared to fossil fuel.
Good find, it seemed highly suspicious.
I think you're spot on here. The only people using desktop mail clients are techies with multiple accounts (such as us HN users), and business users (who all use Outlook).
My only/major beefs with Arch are the frequency with which they introduce breaking changes, the fact that your system may not work if you miss a news item, and the lack of humility in the community. It works, for sure, but I always felt a bit iffy when doing a massive update after a while, and I felt like I was being dragged along with their choices instead of making my own.

I bought a beefy computer last year and installed Gentoo on it - it's obviously not for everyone, but its reputation as a hard to install distro is overstated, and if you have enough horsepower and ram, an emerge update isn't a big deal. Additionally, having the ability to tailor your builds to not include libraries you don't need AND to install the sources and debug information is huge. Mostly, though, it feels logically designed, and standard sysadmin tools allow you to do maintenance without much hassle.

I'd recommend at least looking into it to see if it fits your use case.
Agree. Mozilla should focus more on online services, nicely integrated in the browser. Online email, password management, vpn services, file storage and sharing, ... All privacy focused and with paid offerings, to make them more independent from Google.
I read something similar based on how long the surgeon had been working that day. I always wondered how plausible it was to show up for surgery day and ask the surgeon how many hours of sleep they got the night before and how long they have been working that day.

A 'rule of thumb' in education funding is that every dollar you put in nets you three on the backend. The issue being that the backend is 20-40 years from the initial investment.

Cursive is free for non-commercial use.
Right now, the question to answer is "how much would it cost to use a different chemical?" and the answer could be "Oh, we just have to use one of the 100 different ones from our catalog, that's barely a tenth of a cent of difference" or it could be "no can do, this is a crucial molecule that prevents tires from rotting in winter."

Once you know that, you can approach regulators who will have to weight between the interests of the fish industry and the interests of the tires industry.
>they shed micro plastics during use

they do? I thought most of the microplastic pollution is from plastic that made it into the ocean and are broken down by the sun?
I'm completely impressed Apple is doing that no one can or will probably not do on the future by saving users instead of going for the money.

This is far more than "Don't be evil" that Google is trying to be but it's in the area of "Kill the evil".

Who has ever done this in the world of business?
Reasoning for storing any data outside of a GUID is so you can recover your account or key it in manually in lieu of swiping the card. Phone numbers are associated with the card here. You can punch in your number to the payment pad and leave your membership cards at home/throw them away.

Total sales volume doesn't get the same accuracy of individual shopper habits. I'm not in this sector so somebody else can correct me. Knowing what products each customer tends to buy during cold/flu season or a holiday or some opaque reason allows them to predict demand rather than react to overall trends and current stock amounts. If their data model knows that a small group of heavy purchasers of an item haven't purchased the item recently and are expected to visit the store soon, that demand can be anticipated. If a customer moves, then purchasing habits can be automatically planned for at the new store they begin shopping at rather than waiting for their sometimes infrequent purchasing habits to affect sales at the new and old locations.
FYI: OP is the crazy guy that created Ory (ory.sh). Kudos for yet another interesting project!
It looks like only chapter 1 is completed. A lot of chapter 2, and the just bits of 3 and 4.
I suppose tire companies might be willing to find a replacement in order to skip the potential regulations and bad PR.
It being a dumb decision is a reasonable null hypothesis. Sure maybe someone held a gun to his head and forced him to put his life savings into ethereum, but there's no reason to believe that to be the case.
Do you have a source for this rule of thumb? I'm curious!
> Would you estimate that you have less periods of feeling nostalgia, for you cannot picture your childhood home?

I think so. I barely remember anything from my childhood. I experience nostalgia but probably less of it. For example, smelling garlic bread will make me think of my childhood home that was next to an italian restaurant. I can also perfectly remember the layout of the building. I remember the fear I had one day as there was no electricity and I had to climb 4 flights of stairs in pitch black. But I can't see any of it. I can't see what my grandmother used to look like. In a strange happenstance, I remember she looked a bit like the queen does on the $20 paper bills so I often get nostalgia by handling money. She did not look identical, but had enough "variables" that were identical for my mind to "confuse" or "link" the two, in a way. I know that when I was a child, I would confuse my parents or teachers with characters seen on TV.

> Would you estimate that you have less periods of feeling cringe, for you cannot re-play an embarrassing conversation in your mind?

Actually, I can remember conversations. I simply cannot hear them or see them. I still have the text transcript of it silently playback into my memory, bringing back conversations in my short term memory and allowing me to relive them. It's more like instinctively knowing, the same way you know 4+4=8 without imagining two bundles of four sticks. The only sound I can produce in my head is my own voice, so sometimes I will "talk" with someone else anyway. It is identical to how it would look to see me read outloud the dialogues for two characters. I have been told that people can even hear musical instrument... all I can do it focus hard and reproduce the noise of the instrument with my voice. So it just sound like acapella done by someone with no music talent.

To answer your question, I rarely have issues falling asleep. I do have memories of times where I was a teen and would struggle to fall asleep because I would think back on what happened at school. But it was a rare occurrence.

> Now the spicy, Ethical question. Would you estimate that you have less periods of feeling remorse for your actions?

Yes. I feel as if it has taken me more time than others to reach certain developmental milestones. Now that I am an adult, I have those remorse. I can think about how doing X would trigger Y and make someone feel like Z. It's like a huge mindmap. But before being able to juggle so many concepts, events and variables? I wondered for a long time if I might be a sociopath. Turns out I simply needed to learn all of those concepts from a different perspective. Like a left handed person trying to learn to write by attempting to mimic a right handed person.
Mine also, my heating is often running at ~40° unless it's bringing it up from being off overnight or something. Recently I installed a Nest thermostat and doing reading around it suggested that in the US (I'm in the EU) OpenTherm may not be so common, so perhaps they don't tend to use systems that can do modulation much there.
What is "g" in this context? My first association is the gravitational constant, but somehow I highly doubt you're referring to that
The linked status page shows a 2.5 hour duration.

My mail server logs show about 20 failures in all of the last week until yesterday 20:43 CET, then 350 failures between 20:43-00:21, then nothing after that. So fair enough, from the client side rather than the status page it looks like 3.5 hours rather than 2.5.

But still, given that resolution time, the suggested solution of changing the SMTP server is absolutely ludicrous.
People do that?
I don't think it'd really be possible considering the way Facebook and Google do security. You couldn't have chat flowing through a paid provider's data center, and it's unlikely either would open up a paid option to their chat APIs unless it were mandated under some type of consumer laws.

In the examples in the post, I have to pump my normal web connections through the VM/IP of the machine that's doing the bridging. Maybe a provider could use a proxy you install on your local machine, but many people these days have laptops they don't keep on full time. You'd have to install the proxy on a Pi and then you've reduced your audience for such a commercial offering quite a bit, to people who know how to do this but don't want to put in the effort to setup the services themselves.

I never understood what Apple tax is. They deliver according to their price. It's just people don't realize the value.
It makes sense to start with the companies: if they view this as something that will inevitably be regulated there is a reasonable chance they’ll just comply voluntarily to save the bad PR. They might even see an opportunity for good PR.

This approach, if successful, will be way faster than starting with regulation.
The parallel there would be giving away @mozilla.org addresses. @firefox.com to me feels somewhere closer to @gmail.com, both being products, not companies.
> Facebook merely allows advertisers to target you based on your interests (which it learns from your activities).

Yes, but those activities may include "browsed a store's page for products in category X". Data, which I didn't explicitly give FB permission to have, nor did I know they would or could track me on said store's page. Still, their magic algorithms can combine my browsing activity on pages containing their tracker with my identity on FB and target ads based on that.

It may not be "immoral", but it's really disturbing.
I’m not against that. They could sell @firefoxmail.com addresses

I consider tiling useless. Once I set FVWM with custom geometry styles for applications, everything is just muscle memory and no terminal application get skewed or borked on an ncurses redisplay.

Inb4 "you waste ScrEen SpAcE", FVWM has a lovely pager and the tradition here is to not close any crap and put different work activities between pages, saving opening time. RAM issues? ZRAM handles that fine, and most of the time I don't even run X, just Tmux.
I think people are starting to catch up on why security-minded devs were always critical on depending on JS for so many silly things (displaying texts and images, seriously?)
Sad this is getting downvoted, as you speak only the truth.
A non-diversified portfolio is the predominant risk factor here. This guy lost his life savings in crypto, while other people poured everything into Worldcom, their dream home in Miami, etc. Crypto might be riskier than those classes of asset, and its evangelists might be at fault for encouraging first-time investors to make potentially ruinous bets -- but the story of people becoming overly invested, emotionally and financially, in the new hot thing is much older than ethereum.

It was also in poor taste to scold him on the GH issue. It can wait, poor guy is just asking for help.

Probably worth a disclosure if anyone works at a FAANG if they speak on any subject related to data collection, privacy violations, and ad tracking? Your comment is irrelevant.
Also impossible. Proving something safe is like proving a negative - proving a lack of something (harm).
In the US, the foggy plastic milk jugs and cleanish number 1 and 2 bottles are the only plastics that are worthwhile to recycle, so there isn't really all that much use in more sophisticated markings.
