"Even though it's settling a US lawsuit, Epic says this same deal will apply to all Fortnite players globally."

They wish! This can be no more than an offer which must be accepted before it "applies". I just don't know if anyone will actually bring this to court rather than accept the offer.
It's legal because both sides agreed to settle for it.

If it was an individual suing Epic, and they agreed to go away in return for some shiny digital magic beans, you wouldn't see anything wrong with that. What's different if a million customers settle for it?

Customers can opt out of the class action, or start their own competing one. What would be a real problem is if other customers opted out, sued Epic individually, didn't settle, and the judge used the "payout" from the previous settlement to decide what a fair compensation would be. That hasn't happened here.

Exactly. The 'which' probably refers to 'healthy products', rather than to 'saturated fats'.
I'm mostly kidding... Buy forever stamps from USPS. As they raise the price of postage, your stamps will go up in value, and then you can sell them for a profit! This is probably a terrible idea, but it makes me giggle.

Now I'm imaging some sort of push on r/wallstreetbets to YOLO on stamps, posting insane strategies on how to predict when the price of postage will go up, by how much, and how liquid the market is for millions of stamps.
One of my former colleagues worked on disaster response in the northern Adirondacks and areas around the border. From his tales, it was pretty harrowing, basically bringing the region into circa 1880 technology overnight.

It was pre-911 before emergency response was well funded which made things more challenging. They were dealing with frozen everything, no power, no cellular, impassable roads, etc.
I wonder if we’ll ever see HFCs regulated like tobacco or alcohol. It’s another one of those epic scandals by huge corporations that used propaganda to sway public opinion...and now we’re left with an obesity epidemic.
Because there isn't anything else in this space that:

- supports ad-hoc data structures or schemas per your preference

- supports all common types natively (doesn't require special string encoding like base64 or such nonsense)

- supports comments, metadata, references (for recursive/cyclical data), custom types

- doesn't require an extra compilation step or special definition files

- Has parallel binary and textual forms so that you're not wasting CPU and bandwidth serializing/deserializing text. Everything stays in binary except in the rare cases where humans want to look or edit.

Is it possible that endocrine disruption could be related to issues with physical fitness too? There are many factors, but this could also be one, perhaps.
While I tend to agree with you WRT to diet and exercise, I think this is a secondary issue to what's being described here, similar to how I think modern science and technology has skewed the natural selection process with a bias that may select for undesirable attributes. Some of this bias may be for good intentions (allowing less fertile couples to conceive) while some may have questionable outcomes (selection based purely on socioeconomic status). Again, I think these are separate issues. Efforts I worked with looked at effects of contaminants such as manganese artificially introduced in natural water systems but that's just one, there's dozens of concern.

The issue discussed in this article has quite a few biologists I've interacted with concerned which deal with products we redistribute or manufacturer back into the environment that may be causing these issues. Endocrine disruption is occurring in other species in the wild less or not clearly effected by the issues described above (selection bias, cultural biases in exercise/diet, etc.), and for all intents and purposes, seem to be going along with a sort of survival of the fittest model yet they're still having endocrine issues.

In the anthropocene era, it's quite possible some of our behaviors are causing this and it wouldn't be the first time: lead and CFCs come to mind in the past. We have what appears to be a smoking gun, but we still haven't identified the shooter. We should definitely improve the factors that we can like diet and exercise and look to remedy socioeconomic selection biases for reproduction but the issue at hand may be one you can't simply diet and exercise your way out of and we need to continue to investigate it and find the root cause.
Just because the data is structured this way in the example, doesn't mean it's not possible. What's hindering you from defining a class property for each color?

> profitable

...I'd settle for "break even" and have it simply pay for itself to perform the scientific work. My personal choice is to participate in the World Community Grid and I tried everything from a cloud server to a 20-core dual E5-2660v2 (rented) and even that amount of power cannot pay for it's monthly (super cheap, $75) rental fees. A laptop with an i5-3320 (something like that) cannot even pay for it's electricity use generating GRC.

Not profitable, just break even - that's all a guy like me asks for; it's more efficient if I take cold hard cash and donate it to a comparable cause than it does to run WCG nodes and expect GRC to just cover the electricity cost, ignore the hardware. I don't want to be profitable, just have any rig pay for it's electricity use - that's it. GRC cannot even cover that spread in finances.

> How is this legal ?

Because this is a settlement of a lawsuit, rather than an independently-triggered regulatory action.

The lawyers and representative plaintiffs may agree to this because an in-game-points payment inflates the notional value of the settlement and thus the legal fees, but that group would be paid in cash based on a fraction of the settlement value.

Colleges should have more price stratification than they do. At present the price difference between MIT and Umass Amherst out of state is only 41%. Both will leave a student heavily in debt to the tune of 150-300k, the difference likely doesn't materially matter to the student as they are looking at is as a ticket to a better life.
You could be right, and I understand why you’d jump to that conclusion, but I don’t think that’s what happened, and here’s why. The effect didn’t last all season nor give me any boost the next one. When I slowed down my frequency of rides later in the fall, I felt my performance decline. It made climbing noticeably easier right from the start of a ride, before I felt winded or tired or like I was having to push through anything. Before this happened, I had already done a lot to prove to myself what I can and can’t do, I’ve had other times I’ve pushed myself to the limit. I don’t think this really was a single event, I think it was a boost in the middle of a bunch of rides. It was the back-to-back rides in the context of my lets-get-going early season riding, though I don’t remember exactly how often I was going. At the time I expected this ride was going to make me sore for a while and tired for a few days, like what usually happens after an extra long ride. I was really surprised when it didn’t do that.

BTW, it might be important that the sprint to exhaustion up the canyon was relatively short; it was 5 miles averaging medium steep, with spots up to 12% grade. I usually ride it in granny gear, “speed 1” on a 27-speed bike, smallest chain ring, largest on the sprocket. To follow the fixie I had to stay in speed 14 (middle chain ring, middle of the sprocket.)

The bigger question is: why must hobbyist forums be all-encompassing? Setting up a phpbb is trivial, so what is the advantage to me the user having a single identity linking my professional conversations about software with my more casual conversations about unicycle rally racing?

The same can be said from any media that gives its user a voice, from the current website to Twitter.
I work with both regularly since 2002, alongside occasional C++ development, and Microsoft UI division really needs to clarity what they want.

The GUI roadmap is becoming a joke, now they are pushing for Blazor on Web Widgets as Electron alternative alongside MAUI, with a "pick whatever you like best".

This doesn't work like that when selling long term solutions to customers, specially when we still have UWP scars to take care of.

It feels that after WinRT failure to take over the world, they are unsure where to go next, and throwing into all directions to see what sticks.
> Get punished

But, this isn't even a punishment. In game currency isn't real. It doesn't cost the company anything. So, this is 'be found guilty and be forced to go back to your junkies and give them their next hit of crack for free.'

Well we’ll see what the deal ends up being.

I hope FB’s offer is nothing.

Maybe FB will charge the media for the referral traffic that FB directs to them. That’d be where I’d start negotiations.

This isn’t what the Australia government wanted, they just realized that FB not showing news hurts the news more than it hurts FB.

> Radiation - No wi-fi at home, put phone in breast pocket.

This is pseudoscience. Unless you're storing wifi devices next to your testicles they won't do anything, and in that case it's due to heating.
In terms of attracting AI researchers, think of this:

Gebru has very publicly got into fights with Yann LeCunn and now with Jeff Dean. If you are building AI, who would you rather build your team around, Dean/LeCunn or Gebru? If you are an AI researcher, do you want a join a team where one of the team members is in the habit of aggressively accusing other researchers of racism? Would you be worried that your research might fall within their crosshairs for some reason or another? For example, if you are working on natural language research, and your model ends up doing better with Indo-European languages versus those from other families, do you want to be accused of propagating racist power structures on Twitter?
Given that there isn't a dramatic increase of homosexual population, its probably not a major cause. In fact IIRC homosexual men with high T tend to be "more exclusively homosexual".

It doesn't help that most research on the subject seems to be from the 70s, and i don't find many recent studies. ( I guess, because contemporary science)
One biscuit no, but perhaps it was easier for him to always say no instead of occasionally saying yes, which could easily turn into saying yes too often.
Anytime it is "cold" air source heat pumps don't work. Cold varies a bit, somewhere between -5C and - 25C depending on design factors. Even in the best case as you get closer and closer to the minimum temperature the worse they work (IE when you need them most!), and once you hit the cut-off you better have a backup source off heat.

You can use geothermo (ground) to work around this. I'd recommend it, but the one time install costs mean it is questionable if it is cost effective.
> - Is USDT actually backed 1:1 by USD / cash equivalents as Tether claims? w/o independent audits we have no idea.

I'm going to say no. Because Tether refuses audit, refuses to name banks, and would be, based on their printing rates, depositing $3.5B USD a week into their bank (a rate which would put them on par with AT&T, Samsung, or Alphabet). I'm not sure how a few people working out of Hong Kong, etc., do that while sliding under the radar and avoiding scrutiny (from their bank or authorities).
This comment is not appropriate for HN.
It's difficult to do it all at once. Taking little steps might help: instead of using plastic tupperware, use glass; instead of buying beans in a can, buy dry beans; balcony garden? Sure!

Even if some things are impossible to do, it's imo best to not pile on top of those problems issues that aren't impossible to solve.
Why Developers Procrastinate (and How to Stop)
Nextcloud isn't serving static files, it was serving a database hit in a PHP environment throwing away a lot of stuff on every connection and doing all sorts of things. Presumably this newer backend does less stuff (as that is the key to performance). Debian serves static files.
It will be interesting to see how many sites break with “Total Cookie Protection”. Currently I use what I consider are bare minimum of anti-tracking, that is what I can make Firefox provide on its own, plus the DuckDuckGo browser extention. Those two things alone break an alarming number of sites. The DDG extention is pretty regularly mistaken for an ad-blocker.

Given Firefoxs low adoption, I fear that website owner will just ignore that their excessive tracking breaks their site in Firefox... “Works in Chrome... good enough”
Makes sense to me - if you’re mostly buying prestige that gets concentrated in the top institutions.

If you’re trying to buy education the others are overpriced.

Class action lawsuits are turning out to be a scam. It should be law that lawyers can't have more than something like 5% of the settlement, and companies should have to pay out as cash equivelant.

Reminds me of the Equifax settlement which was a total scam. "Free Credit Monitoring" was BS, as Equifax was going to pay itself for the product, and everyone in the USA already has "Free Credit Monitoring" anyway. For leaking all of my personal details, I'd love to be paid for the time and money I've had to spend cleaning up their mistakes after Equifax hired a music major as the head of Information Security.
I can't think of anythink more suitable for state intervention than solving the coordination problem to ensure the continued habitability of planet Earth.
It is also hard to solve because there are two sides of the story, with differing needs. A great experience for the person being hired is not the same thing as a great experience for the hiring manager.

The top colleges have very complicated pricing schemes and are basically free to middle and lower income students, for example a student to MIT only pays if their family earns more than $90k a year which is above the median household income of $68k.
US$5M is a bit under 100 kg of gold or 6 tonnes of silver. Might not be a bad idea to spend a few percent of that on hiring security guards and stocking up on perishables to feed them an their families.
> relies on third-party cookies for authentication

A lot of websites depends on this via auth0, cloud identity, cognito... and the experience becomes subtly broken in a way that you need to be extremely technically savvy (a developer that has a whole lot of auth experience) to understand.
Someone clearly doesn't understand thermodynamics at all if he seriously thinks putting that thing outside and let the warm air be sucked in, is more efficient that running it inside.
for obviously reasons (isolation loses/heat radiation) more energy (heat) is lost outside than inside (inside has zero loses because even the heat that doesn't go where you want it, still is inside the house.)
It reminds me of the recent Paul Graham essay where he talked about discovering, in graduate school, that the "knowledge based" A.I. (e.g. SHRDLU) was a "fraud."

Specifically: we could make small worlds in which syntax and semantics lined up (like the Zork parser) to seem like it understood natural language, but there was a point you couldn't go further.

I think some graduate students now will be disillusioned by the claims being made for deep learning today for the same reason that those systems will quickly master the things they are good at and leave a residue of even more difficult problems for the 2050s and beyond.
i agree. Ethics means nothing. It's just an emotional security blanket. They are no more qualified than a 5 year old to invent ethical standards.
Nope. Baofeng UV-5R lists:

[RX] 136 – 174MHz, 400 – 520MHz, 68-108MHz (FM Broadcast)

The FRS band is 462-467MHz, well within the TX range of the UV-5R.

We really need more robust consumer protections for digital goods. This is like asking you to return every product you bought at WalMart with no compensation as a condition for accepting a settlement from a WalMart class action suit.

Likewise, getting an account banned for ToS violations at a storefront such as the App Store should not immediately strip you of all goods purchased on that storefront.

Not clear what this solves or improves upon.
I think what they mean is that if you can't afford shelter, it's little comfort to be able to afford a phone. Yes, the phone may be a tool that can help you find shelter, and it may help with coping with your situation and finding other opportunities, but in the end you're still trying to get shelter. If you could afford a home initially, you wouldn't need the phone to help you get one.

So no one here is arguing that homeless people shouldn't have phones or internet or anything like that, rather they're arguing that we'd have better housing opportunities if shelter was what had become so cheap, rather than phones. So measuring inflation based on the prices of non-critical goods is fine if you already own a house, but it fails to reflect reality for people who are struggling to make rent.

I used to be a big fan of the whole "Open Startup" and Indiehackers scene, back before I ran my own business. Now I believe it's 1. mostly useless 2. selective in which kinds of businesses are presented.

Useless because, as others have said, there are so many factors that go into the business that can't be adequately captured, not even with an hour of interview and blog post.

Selective in the sense that the kind of business which talks about their revenue and product doesn't have a niche to protect. They are operating in a crowded space already and are simply excelling and outperforming their competition, so they feel confident enough to talk about their revenue because it's not like it would attract competitors into a previously pristine business segment.

For most people, entering a crowded space like "SaaS-based API monitoring service" and then trying to out-compete all the established players is not realistic, so these people would benefit more from thinking about business avenues off the beaten path. But that's not something that anyone would have any incentives to talk about, except when trying to hire friends for example. This is at least my perspective, my only motivations for talking about my business to close friends would be to hire them or to brag about it a little, but mostly the former since bragging doesn't really create lasting happiness.

I think this dismissal is unfair.

As someone who is the furthest from being an economist...

The conceptual difference between Keynesian and MMT comes down to:

- How much relative emphasis is placed on federal deficits vs interest rates wrt inflation. Keynesians don't decouple deficits and interest rates.

- Emphasis on monetarian vs fiscal management. MMTs focus on fiscal. Keynesians straddle the two. (Chicago/Austrian schoolers focus on monetarian.)

Said another way, the MMTs are simply pointing out that with 2008 and the aftermath, Keynesian models and predictions were not correct wrt to QE and inflation, and so are floating alternative theories, primarily explicitly adding interest rates to the models.
