This is only tangentially related, but one thing I find interesting is how video games contributed to us being desensitized to violence. It's funny hearing from my mom about how The Exorcist was terrifying back then, while nowadays it's borderline funny to watch (and not only because of the technology not aging well).

Makes me wonder if any studies have been done regarding that.
Jail is probably the best possible outcome for someone who uses violence against the police, justified or not. As you note the color of law (and usually sympathy of the public as well) is the greatest of the asymmetrical assets of law enforcement and so the police at least in the US have the opportunity to assault or kill you with little or no legal liability.

You’re talking about consuming the writing-very different. There are many situations where length has nothing to do with content, and you’re ignoring art forms that are fundamentally long form—film screenplays, novels, (some) investigative journalism. Just because it’s not to your taste doesn’t mean it’s not important :)

I remember the days when the Columbine school shooting was being blamed on video games (amongst other things like movies and goth culture) and as a result, all kinds of new fun censorship measures and laws were being talked about here in the US. FEPA[0] eventually being one of them (much later on). Luckily the censorship laws were struck down as unconstitutional[1]. Funny to have more evidence now that it was all misguided. Something I've always felt having been raised on violent video games myself and never feeling the urge to commit violent acts just because I played Counter-Strike or Unreal Tournament.

HN comment

Two small kids here, I’ll try to explain my experience.

First off, there was very little time for socializing before the pandemic. One evening a week to grab dinner with a friend was the gold standard and achieved at the cost of putting more childcare on my partner. My partner also got an evening a week for friends, so I’d have extra kid duty that day.

The pandemic has made life harder for me and my family in many ways. School closure is the obvious one. My oldest had about a year in preschool before the shutdown. They miss their school community and have backslid developmentally. My partner was already a full-time care giver, but making preschool means the younger child gets very little one on one attention, while the older one loses socializing experience.

We also lost secondary childcare. No more babysitters for date night. No more weekend play dates. Much more limited access to grandparents and other relatives.

And then there’s all the marginal stuff that surprised us. We used to take the kids to the grocery store. You could kill an hour and show them the world a bit. No longer. We used to take them to the playground and encourage them to play with other kids. Now best case my kid wears a mask and plays at a distance with a small number of kids.

I’ve found that we’re losing a lot more time to home maintenance. The kids use the house all day, we have to clean it up after they go to bed. I’m trying to get the kids to help more with that, and to move more cleaning before bedtime.

All that taken into account, I find that I can get maybe 90 minutes per day, after the kids are done, that I have some personal choice about. I can spend that time with my partner, pushing work forwards, larger chores/home projects, professional development, hobbies, socializing, or resting. There is no other time for those things.

In practice I’ve found myself avoiding large hobby and professional development projects. I love them too much. I get very frustrated when they’re started but I can’t devote any time to them. I love hitting flow State on a project, and it’s simply not possible at this point in my life.

I don’t expect this to last forever. The pandemic will break eventually. The kids will get older and need less intense supervision. I do my best to be present and focused on them during these early years. Everyone tells me they go by fast in retrospect.

PS this comment took me over two hours to write because of these circumstances
These reviews are not necessarily independent. If they don't yield any results the organisations lose their funding. So they have the incentive to be as dishonest as Apple and China are.
I have seen "work it out" method with friends kids and it convinced me that I won't do it.

In one case, it ended up with older boy consistently bullying smaller sibling. By the time parents started to intervene, it was habit and it took months to be stopped. The younger kids still somewhat dislike brother, altrought he treats her much better now.

Other cases I have seen were roughly similar. Work it out may work out may not. But pretty often it amounts to enabling bullies - and even blaming the victim if the victim does not defend itself in perfect magical non noisy calculated way.
I have a cousin that does the same, travels 6 months of the year and works over time, and then take 6 months off, and just surfs and spearfishes. He makes more in 6 months that most do in a year, granted he is working 60-80 hrs a week, but there is more work than there are hands to do it, and all of it pays time and a half after 40 hours.
You have the classic "ski slope" hearing loss, which is common with age. Your hearing aids should be boosting the high freequencies to fit your loss profile and not somewhat less than you need to make you work for it. I would go back to your provider and ask for an increase in the high freqs. Alternatively, lots of hearing aids these days come with a smartphone app which lets you set base/mid/treble so you could alter them yourself but you don't get the flexability the provider would.
I'm so happy I'm not the only one. This drives me crazy, and seems like such a simple feature to implement.
I switched to Apple Maps long before it was believed to be good enough for 2 features that Google Maps will never (likely) implement - random identifiers and location fuzzing. These privacy-first features are important to me.

Now that Apple Maps has had many years to get a lot better, I genuinely prefer it to Google Maps - even setting aside the privacy issues.

I love in California, so I understand there may be locale based differences, but it’s never really steered me wrong (pun intended), and always does a good job of picking a logical route.

I have worked as a contract employee at both the FDA and the US Dept of Agriculture. Rule 1: Trust neither. The DofA wants you to eat dairy, meat, and grain products - thats their area of expertise. The FDA ... want you to buy drugs. Thats their business. Neither is objective, and both use "science" that suits their needs.
Not the GP, but for me the answer is "cars." And child services coming after me for being neglectful. And rattlesnakes. But mostly cars.

Even with statistics about danger being down across the board, in still pretty worried about my kids getting hit by an automobile. The raw statistics are even one area where danger is rising- fatality numbers are back over the mid 90s.
I achieve this using https://brid.gy/ (or https://fed.brid.gy/ if you want your blog to appear as a first class member of the Fediverse), though in my case I just syndicate out to Twitter. I then collect the webmentions using https://webmention.io/.

The nice thing about this is I get a breadth of methods for receiving comments/reactions across multiple platforms, including anything that directly supports webmention (such as https://micro.blog/, where my posts are also syndicated), without having to do any of the platform-specific wiring myself.
It's probably confirmation bias.

Same reason a study with positive outcomes about coffee/alcohol/gay parenthood/gender reassignment/<insert issue> are not criticized as much as a study on the same topic that had negative outcomes. We want certain things to be true so we (consciously or not) avoid criticizing studies bolstering what we want to be true and harshly criticize studies we want to be false.

I like to think science always prevails in the end (like with tobacco), but it can take half a century or more to converge on the truth.

> boost the frequencies as necessary

The trick is figuring out what's necessary. The first half of the post made me nervous, because it simply applied a gain of threshold - basedB. As he discovered, that's too loud.

What you want is a compressor. The second half of the post boosts the signal just above the threshold, but it's a little more complex than that. I haven't really studied this, but for starters you want to take into account things like the Fletcher-Munson curves.

I am intrigued by these types of projects. As my hearing gets worse, I'd like to be able to listen to music and watch movies with nice headphones, but with the assistance that comes from hearing aids.
In cases like there were actually investigating can land the people doing the investigating in prison, I think proceed according to the cautionary principle.

So, if a tyrannical dictatorship like China is accused of abusing human rights and said tyrannical dictatorship is not willing to let people investigate the claims, we can accept the accusations as true until aforementioned tyrannical dictatorship is willing to let people investigate.

No need for 'in dubio pro reo' in such cases.

Apple Maps “Look Around” – Current Coverage Areas
Your statements do not seem to be consistent with those in the article.

> Ray Mentzer, a chemical engineer at Purdue University, spent his career working on LNG projects for Exxon Mobil. He says the specially designed containers that transport hydrocarbons have a good safety record. But he says transporting the gas through densely populated areas increases the risk if there's a leak.

> "It's not flammable until it's vaporized, but it's going to be vaporized pretty darn quickly and then it's going to seek an ignition source," he says. "Believe me, it will find an ignition source pretty darn readily."

Ask HN: How do you set compensation for remote workers?
Hi HN friends, I'm genuinely curious to know how you are setting compensation for remote employees.

- Do you consider cost of living?

- Do you allocate an additional office setup package?

- Pay everyone the same? (e.g. Datacamp)

- Create a salary calculator? (e.g. GitLab)

I wish more companies would adopt GitLab's salary calculator approach, IMHO it is probably the one most fair.
On the fast track to middle management or politics.

The article mentions he’s splitting half fiat half Bitcoin.

He’s making $13 million a year so even if half of that vaporizes (it won’t) he’ll still have plenty.

Can I assume you mean simple sugars that are added for taste? If you literally meant what you said, well you will die without carbohydrates (sugar).
That’s more about [@@iterator] not being a thing on IE11 rather than anything about Map. There’s still Map.prototype.forEach, which is entirely sufficient.

Also, iteration is not the only purpose of Map; its real value is that you can use keys of any type, and I’ve used Map and WeakMap a number of times without having needed any form of iteration—e.g. avoiding polluting every element I need to track data on (MY_DATA: Symbol; Element[MY_DATA]: MyData), maintaining a WeakMap<Element, MyData> instead.
I don't get why nobody seriously considers a one-dose regimen for the fastest possible vaccine rollout. All available data for both, Biontech/Pfizer and Moderna's vaccines suggests that one dose is enough for >90% efficacy which would be sufficient to reach herd immunity. There was a very good opinion article in the NY Times [1] about that, but not much more.

The problem here is that a one-dose regimen was not studied in the trials. While it is good medical practice do not deviate from trial designs (see the Oxford/AZ vaccine), the data is very clear here. The vaccines are effective 14 days after the first dose and before the second dose.
Sure, there are risks (maybe the efficacy drops later on or it is more difficult to reach the full efficacy if the booster shot is delayed) but these risks seem to be negligible compared to the hundreds of thousands additional unnecessary deaths due to limited vaccine supply and delayed vaccination with a two-shot regimen. We know from other vaccines that the timing of the booster shot normally is not that important and it is very probably that a booster shot after a few months would be exactly as good as a booster shot after 4 weeks.

In my opinion, nobody seriously contemplates the one-dose regimen because somebody has to take responsibility to deviate from the proven and tested protocol - politicians have nothing to win here but much to loose in case anything goes wrong. And big pharma has no interest in financing and starting one-dose trials asap b/c it would hurt their own bottom line and there is no financial incentive at all, quite the opposite (+they have the same responsibility problem). This is a deadlock which will cost many, many lifes.

I feel your pain for writing. This morning, I accidentally deleted all my notes from yesterday and could not recover them from my phone because there is no undo (!!? How can phones still not have an undo?) in my note-taking app. I had to get up and recover the version from my desktop because I wasn't signed in to dropbox on my phone.
For my most recent projects, I've been building API systems and implementing them with WordPress plugins. What I've noticed of APIs is that you often have to build your own library from the code they supply. So I build the library, keep it up to date, and just provide all the command lines and code to make it easier.

I'm sure many devs still prefer to clone their own Git libraries, but I remove that step so its simple setup and the rest is just plug-and-play.

Basically, you can use the API service to build your own web apps. So far, I've had an official collaboration with BunnyCDN and an unofficial collaboration with DreamHost.

https://bunnyapi.com for BunnyCDN

I'm still working on this one, but it's nearly complete.

https://dreamapi.link for DreamHost's DreamObjects.

I'll probably create one purely for AWS as well. For WordPress users, it's quite helpful when there's no existing plugins.
It can take longer than just days, most leaks happen for months or more before it builds up enough to get a bunch of citizen complaints and cops go out to investigate. 70% of pipeline leaks are found by cops or civilians, and that is despite most pipelines going through the least dense possible areas without many people around.
> can u give an example?

Spotify, Netflix, YouTube Premium.
Or could it be that it was never realistic in the first place? I remember a show of the same contemporary, Roseanne, lauded for its actually-authentic depiction of working class life and precarity. Meanwhile it always struck me as absurd that someone like Homer Simpson or Al Bundy would have a house approaching a McMansion. The Simpsons themselves even make fun of this in the Frank Grimes episode.
Good observations overall, but I think you're being unfair to the New York Times. It is, after all, one of the local newspapers for New York City, so it's not at all surprising that its content caters to the people who live there. The NYT != The Media.
I don't think so. Even if you just get shipments for the rare earth materials that aren't present in first-world American countries, Apple would need to do the same supply chain audits all the way from shipment to mining, and they'd still be accused of using slave labor since apparently these audits don't work and using China at all introduces slave labor into your supply chain.

For now it still makes sense to do last-leg manufacturing in China since moving to the US has no benefits from a PR standpoint (due to the reasons above) and has huge negatives with needing to import the raw materials instead of just shipping the final product from China -> Alaska -> Continental US customers.
I’d be interesting in how a term like that on GitHub would work. There’s a reason that you have to check a box when agreeing to the TOS; it’s you staying an affirmative to consenting. Implied consent isn’t held up in the courts as well.

Something like an affirmative checkbox on torrent trackers would be a better thing, but it would only prevent situations like Prenda (which are rare).
>Indeed, growing up my parents banned Super Smash Bros., because the outcomes of matches would sometimes enrage us so much that we would get into fights in real life.

Personally, my take on this is you were seeing and effect; not a cause.

As a kid you MAY have had a common issue expressing loss or disappointment. The game MAY have brought this up, there was always a loser every match. So, your parents MAY have considered this the cause of your inability to properly handle it.

I MAY be wrong. I have no idea about you. But that fits ME perfectly.

I found the thing that brought me out of that was stressful singular competition, fighting, shooting, chess, performance, etc. Things that you excel on your skill not anything you can blame someone else for.

I learned the value in making a plan, executing it, and learning when and why if it didn’t work.

Now as an adult, I find myself more ready to deal with stressful things like dogs fighting on walks, medical emergencies, criminal activity, and things I just see other adults completely lock up on. I think this comes from an inability to process loss and stress.
Fitting that a deal setting us back decades would mandate 90s tech.

Though of course, the actual reason is sensible and relates to the legals around those things, I imagine.
In my experience it is very reliable in France and Belgium.

Whether on my 800-km, 8-hour trip to go to my parents across countries, or on my 150 km weekly commute (across countries as well actually) the traffic is consistently accurate and the ETA is almost always correct to a few minutes. In the worst case, maybe Google will expect 20 minutes extra time entering France or entering Antwerp when it's actually 30 minutes this particular day. But that's a very acceptable error on a 2-hour trip.

Of course, this was true in 2019 but I didn't have the occasion to keep doing these trips in 2020. Also, I can't compare with Apple Maps which isn't available on my smartphone.
Humans can survive just fine with zero dietary carbohydrate intake, as long as they get sufficient calories and micronutrients.

It Sure Looks Like the RNA World Hypothesis Is Wrong
Just tested for Germany (where I am living currently) and it is not very good: at the map level it shows the correct street number but it seems unable to use it for actual route planning (i.e. if you are in a street with numbers from 1 to 200 it seems to always calculate your arrival point at #1 even if you specificy that you are looking for "72/b").

Also, is it available as an app on iPhone?
