No, they do not have permanent effects.

You seem to misunderstand this court case. It did not say that PBs can cause infertility. It said that people who take PBs often go on to take hormones, and the hormones cause infertility.

In the UK you cannot get hormones if you're under 18.
Putting a CPU core in your hardware accelerator seems more useful when it's stuck on the wrong side of a memory bottleneck. That way, you could run longer programs in local accelerator memory before you have to take the hit of communicating with the rest of the system.

Apple's M1 seems designed to give all types of cores equally fast access to the same memory pool. At that point, it might make more sense to make your accelerator cores as simple as possible and program them from the CPU.

I guess what's really not clear to me is why, if you're building your main CPU on ARM, you would pick RISC-V for your programmable accelerators in the same SoC, rather than using one of the smaller ARM cores available.
You're acting based on your priors and new evidence. You have a high prior for police stops existing in general, and a low one for people randomly lying about it, so a stranger saying there's one that way is compelling evidence to you. You have a high prior on the existence of treausure nearvy, but a low one of the existence of treasure worth the effort of finding, so me telling you you could get rich quick isn't compelling evidence to you.
If this article excited you, you might enjoy the YouTube channel called "Tasting History". In each video the author goes into a recipe and the story/circunstances surrounding it: https://www.youtube.com/c/tastinghistory

The scripting is spot on: lighthearted and informative, with the correct dose of humor. I really recommend it.
Interesting. For my wife it certainly is gluten and for a long time, cheap white bread was easier on her belly than whole grain bread.
I had a very similar issue. Samsung 860 Pro, system somehow got slower and slower until it froze. After a hard reboot, my partitions on 2 dynamic drives were gone. Easily restored with Testdisk, but that was a weird one. Never had it happen again.
it could be a marketing tactic, look at how everyone is talking about it
Certainly true for me. It’s still one of the most valuable things to contemplate though.

At least, I’m still expecting to someday figure out why mortality isn’t a problem after all (or not mortality in the first place).
Who made you the judge?

I don’t consider HN to be social media anymore than a discussion forum on gardening is social media.

HN is not a SV startup selling ads spying on you manipulating your behaviour to sell crap or breaking democracy or depressing teenagers into suicide, it’s just not comparable and these false equivalences are just so tiring. Stop trying to bring other people down.
Less so now but the whole site used to be a filter bubble of people in tech/science or with tech/science interests. It was actually a fairly positive filter though since it resulted in some very interesting content being surfaced. It still stands head and shoulders above the rest but there has certainly been some decline in recent years. In its early days, Reddit was much the same but suffered a massive decline after becoming the "front page of the internet". All "free as in beer" communities seem to follow a similar progression, those with stronger gatekeeping tend to last longer but no site can survive an overwhelming influx of new users without a proportionate increase in the ability to educate those users in the norms of the group they are joining.

People in tech usually don't either.
Other players, myself included, feel that it's a piss-poor Deus Ex too.

If bugs and performance were the only issue, I'd just have left the game until I got my next-gen console. I asked for a refund because it's a bad game in many other ways too.

YMMV, of course. I hear the story is good and the graphics are definitely pretty. But I'd definitely not describe the game as a 'good' Deus Ex style game.
That's probably true, yes.
> as it is harder for an adult to get treatment to become infertile than it is for a child to get hormone drugs that can do the same thing

It is not possible for children in the UK to get cross sex hormones.

Currently we're talking about at most a couple of hundred children (out of a population of 60m people in UK). Very many more adults have vasectomies.
I don't understand how having a wework near your restaurant would increase the value more than any other office. Either way the value add is a nearby space filled with professionals. Why would the wework brand increase that?
It was a Mac Mini, but yeah, I can't find it in the article, did the tests account for cooling? I assume the M1, like any other modern SoC, will throttle as the temperature goes higher.

They set themselves up for failure when they teased a release date for the game of when it would be "ready" 7 years ago.
'Getting the measures right' would require some mix of unity (which doesn't exist in modern multicultural countries) and/or a strong authoritarian government. If, for some reason, you like not having indigenous racial minorities sent to re-education camps while you're not looking, then those options aren't really available.

If there were a country with the nerve to have no 'measures' at all, they would have herd immunity, a pile of corpses, some long-term health conditions from covid (that we will have, too- everyone's getting this thing), no long-term health conditions from everyone being locked in their homes for a year, no year+ fucking of the economy, less consolidation of wealth into the hands of a few, less of an immediate risk of an increase in authoritarianism via increasing the power of the local government...

For some size of 'a discrepancy in the pile of corpses (from this year)', I would, if I could push a button and switch to the world where people were left to do as they may, push it. A lot of people would, too, it's just too callous and inhuman to admit that yeah, sorry, if you're 85 and going to die in 3 years from the flu anyway your continued life might not be worth the price of greatly inconveniencing a 25-year-old for a year.
Playing on a 4 year old gaming PC with a 1080. Have had no real problems in the 50ish hours I have in. A little sluggish through some of the open world parts until I dialed the graphics back to "high".

I think part of the problem here is they are trying to include beautiful effects like ray tracing for the newest machines, but have to also support 7 year old previous gen consoles as well. With the new Series X and PS5 consoles only recently on the market, this is a tough time to release a big title - because the player base is overwhelmingly not on those new consoles, and that's too much of a market to lose.

It is mentioned in the article. ARM has a much larger and complex instruction set which means you need to have a larger silicon real-estate. E.g. for a minimal core with similar features, cache etc, a RISC-V CPU would take half the die space of ARM. Half the size is 4x cheaper, as cost grows exponentially with die area.
With 0 warehouse workers, the same is true. The bigger question is if Jeff Bezos were replaced with someone else, how much different would Amazon be? Unfortunately, we don't really have any tools to scientifically answer this type of question. My belief is that Amazon wouldn't be a thousand times smaller if Jeff Bezos were replace with another reasonably competent manager.

Also very important would be to ask how many of those 800k people would have similar or better payed jobs if Amazon didn't exist at all. Would there be an Amazon-shaped hole in the market, or would there actually be more economic activity if instead of one giant corporation there would be thousands of smaller ones? I believe the second is more likely to be true.
> The argument against your view is that human desire is not fixed, but expands with the development of every new frontier of consumption. The more we can produce, the more we want. Should we let that process run indefinitely?

The problem is that we are not inherently given the opportunity to make that decision for other people. It's one thing to speak theoretically about this process of exogenous desires forming anew with every novel discovery. It's quite another thing to tell people "no more inventions or creative labor, society is wealthy enough."

> The costs are multiple. We organise society around the productivist maximisation of output, requiring us all to work at a dizzying pace despite the dramatic increase of productivity per hour of labour over time. We compensate for the modest time we have to ourselves, 'leisure', through a lifestyle of extreme consumption. One of the underlying reasons that we want to consume more, is as a marker that we are the kinds of people capable of high consumption. Having a nice house, clothes and car, going on nice holidays, validates our social status and esteem, or worse, feeds our pride and envy. We organise the whole of human life and society around production to satisfy our ape-brain psychology, to feed our bottomless status-seeking. It's a huge collective action problem, and we would all be better off if we jointly committed to working less, and shifted away from private consumption to public goods that can be shared in common.

I agree with (almost) all of this and if you are serious about the above, I humbly suggest investigating the connection between time preference and interest rates.

> There are also important questions about where spiralling levels of consumption run-up against natural resource and ecological limits, and the fact current rates of western consumption depend on cheap labour in the global south that won't last indefinitely - and in the case of China relies on a historically unprecedented reallocation of national income away from its citizens, and towards gargantuan capital investment at home and abroad.

I agree that this is problematic at best and likely to be catastrophic.

The Knowledge of London for cab drivers
Let's imagine that I'm writing a cyrillic program. The users are most likely not english, the stakeholders are not english, the examples that the program works with are not ascii. Yet, you insist that in the readme I'm not using anything cyrillic related and use ascii instead.

If I happen to find an arabic readme, then I'll know that either I'm not the target audience, or that the author does not know english and might loose my contributions. Neither of those gives me the right to open a PR and insist that the readme is adjusted for my use case only and degrades the user experience of others.

What I strongly disagree with you is that from the principal of "be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you accept" you choose to take only the first part and forget the latter. Ascii is nice when it is applicable for the use case, but it is not universally applicable and assuming so should be a personal mistake, not tax on everyone. Maybe the disagreement between us is in how we define target audience. You imagine that if it is published in Github, then it must be readable to anyone there. I think that if the project is ment to help certain type of people, then it it must be optimized for them, not for people who would never bother using it anyways.
Unfortunately no, I have never used Android.
That HN title is an opinion, yes? It's not the title of the linked-to piece of legislation, and after reading it I don't see where Christmas is cancelled.

For example, it explicitly allows worship - which I assume includes Christmas mass - and allows the sale of living Christmas trees.

And makes no mention that household can't celebrate Christmas at home. I think they can even celebrate in public outdoor places.

Perhaps "UK Tier 4 restrictions during Christmas" is a better title?
You see if that desire has been a fixed and constant part of their life since a young age. You check whether they can relieve their distress using any other methods. You check the severity of their distress.
Libertarians use "voluntary" to refer to a situation absent coercion. Taxation is prima facie coercive so we would just debate semantics if I went that route.
Navajo Generating Station in Arizona Demolished
Hmm, you've got a point, but what kind of "obese" are we talking? Usually people conflate obese with overweight.

Being (slightly) overweight is generally good for health, especially when combating a virus.

200+ years ago the vast majority of people were definitely starved for nutrients, living off whatever they could get locally, with very little meat compared to today.
True, and with enough training we can, that's what meditation is basically - just like we can learn to control our instincts like hunger or sex drive, but still it's not the normal state, it requires a focused mental effort. On the basic level we're social animals and we're probably hard-wired to need the presence of others, and also to seek places that stimulate our senses, as that is where the food is. Being strongly driven to sit in some deserted cave with nothing to eat or do in it wouldn't be a good evolutionary adaptation to any organism - so we surely have an instinct to avoid it - just think of horror movies, how they imagine really scary places? Dark, empty, deserted - low stimulus and it scares the hell of us.

One tiny point: Freedland seems to imply that there's something deeply unpleasant in the observation that 'Jeff Bezos, whose pockets were filled by the pandemic and the dependency on home delivery it induced'. Does he object to vaccine makers' pockets similarly being filled as a result of the pandemic. Bezos is ultra rich only because he offers a superior service for consumers who make a conscious decision to use Amazon. If it wasn't superior they wouldn't use it. Many criticisms have been levelled at Bezos, many of them probably valid but his getting very rich by offering a service that huge numbers of people want to use, should not be one of them. Don't most startups want to succeed in this way?
The game lacks smooth open-world interaction. My immersion was instantly ruined when I realized how static the world is when you drive around. Likewise, AI is completely underdeveloped and I was under the impression that it would be more interactive.

Other than that, the graphics are good. Story is somewhat good but lacks in general progression for each life path.
I'm on a few gamedev channels (SDL), and a few of the guys there are super helpful. I don't know what they get out of it, but they always take the time to answer other peoples questions, regardless of how nonsensical or rudimentary they may seem at first.
I'd say you're completely right, but there are a couple of caveats.

1) Most people would not be content with just the basics. We like shiny new stuff like iPhones or fancy clothes or nice food

2) Even if there was no scarcity of anything, our distribution systems (Globally) are pretty poor. I doubt we could flip a switch and begin distributing resources to everywhere in the world that needs them.
Has the situation changed since then? I mean, there's a reason why e.g. Nvidia drivers know and care about what games you have installed. I can also imagine quite a bit of rationale behind this, from a positive aspect - paying some knowledgeable people to extensively tweak settings by hand for popular games, and then having these settings become part of the driver seems somewhat reasonable. The above example on the other hand, probably was done for nefarious purposes. But how would we know from the outside, when it seems to have become standard practice, and for good reason?

It may or may not work well for anyone else. The initial goal was to replicate the 'Alpine' loaf that we used to buy regularly. We've gradually evolved the recipe for our specific machine, flour, process, etc, and I think we've now actually surpassed the goal by some margin.

Fun idea, but what happens when a player submits an illegal move that becomes legal only when taking the opponents move into account or that’s only legal before the opponent’s move? Say a rook moving from a1 to a3 while an opponent’s knight moves from or into a2?

Also, if you are going to write down moves, you can allow the players to move all of their pieces, too, like in Diplomacy.

A queen could capture a pawn next to the king, and a bishop could simultaneously move to prevent the king from capturing the queen, for example. A countermove could be to move a pawn between that bishop and that queen, and to have the king capture the queen.

⇒ I guess this multi-move variant would get highly complicated very soon. It might be better to follow diplomacy here and replace “If two moving pieces end up on the same square, both are eliminated” by “...same square, neither moves”, or maybe add “x supports y moving to square S”*?

It boggles my mind that this is news, today, months after the pandemic began.

Many other parts of the country have gotten quite used to curbside pickup and limited occupancy. Why has this seemingly been so difficult for the state of California?
> if a city wanted to make automated cars a reality in their streets, there are tons of accommodations they could do: from radio beacons to official maps, standards on how to signal construction work, purposefully designed roads...

Sorry, but that sounds hilarious. If "a city wanted", it's still people who would need to ensure "to signal construction work". And people don't care. And for other stuff, people would need to pay for it with their taxes. I'm sorry, but as an outsider, I would say the roads (usual roads!) in the US are in "perfect" condition only in California. In other states, it's the usual asphalt-with-cracks, which will turn into a hole when a heavy truck rides it thru the rainy/snow season.

Heck, majority of the world has problems with trash on the streets, and cities can't neither teach their people to not litter, nor clean up timely after them.

> Call me stupid, but I don't quite understand the technicalities of that scheme.

> 1. They bought via TAS, but that's a promise to buy futures, no? So it's a promise on a promise?

The TAS contract is a future itself to buy actual oil, but at a price determined in the future. The holder of the TAS ends up with physical oil, just like any other future.

> 2. They sold futures over the course of the day.

Selling a future is providing a place for the oil that you're going to end up with to go. Futures traders often don't want the actual commodity, so if they commit to buy something, they have to also commit to selling it to someone else. The trick is to buy low, sell high.

I don't think there's any "future-on-a-future" thing here, it's just straightforward futures arbitrage. What makes it special is the mechanics of the TAS contract, which effectively means you're contracted to buy/sell oil at a price you don't know yet.
