> Current UI/UX dogma comes from endless studies, done at the dawn of wide scale adoption.

That's the late 90s / early 2000s UI/UX dogma. Research-backed and sane.

Current UI/UX dogma is based on taking designer opinions and throwing them into A/B testing blender, optimizing for conversions. What comes out isn't something that delivers value to the user - it's something that streamlines their journey through the sales funnel.
Without details, the impact of a financial collapse is unknown. Given how BTC moves in connection with the broader market now, one would expect that the value would crash with the system, especially since BTC has no intrinsic value.

The farm animals do not understand the "time of day" on a human clock, so the farm work occurs around the animals rhythms, not the "clock on the wall". Moving the time of day backwards or forwards just changes what number is on the clock face when the cows are ready to be milked.

If sex is "Mostly" binary, it isn't binary. At multiple points the article highlights these exceptions, and as soon as there is a single exception, it is false to say the categories are fit for all cases.

Its also worth noting that while there may be a strong genetic basis for how sexual characteristics differentiate, doctors often aren't looking at these genes to assign sex in a legal sense - they almost exclusively eyeball it.

How the Finance Gurus Get Risk All Wrong
"(FORTUNE Magazine) – Your money is at risk. No matter what you've put it in--stocks, bonds, derivatives, hedge funds, houses, annuities, even mattresses --there's always the chance that you could lose it or miss out on a bigger opportunity somewhere else. Anyone who would tell you otherwise is either a fool or a huckster. Then there are those who do warn of risk but package it into a simple numerical measure that seems to put it within manageable bounds. They're even more dangerous.

Your mutual fund's annual report, for example, may contain a measure of risk (usually something called beta). It would indeed be useful to know just how risky your fund is, but this number won't tell you. Nor will any of the other quantities spewed out by the pseudoscience of finance: standard deviation, the Sharpe ratio, variance, correlation, alpha, value at risk, even the Black-Scholes option-pricing model.

The problem with all these measures is that they are built upon the statistical device known as the bell curve. This means they disregard big market moves: They focus on the grass and miss out on the (gigantic) trees. Rare and unpredictably large deviations like the collapse of Enron's stock price in 2001 or the spectacular rise of Cisco's in the 1990s have a dramatic impact on long-term returns --but 'risk' and 'variance' disregard them."

It's the ideology behind bitcoin, some people sympathise with it and some people don't. And the monumental waste of energy is a real issue too. This something even the inventors of bitcoin themselves have admitted.
> You can’t exactly run a project at a multi billion dollar loss

What is the cost of running the games though?

I assume (with absolutely no evidence) that the costs would be heavily skewed towards facilities setup and infrastructure. That’s a sunk fixed cost.

I’m sure there is a large security and labor cost when the games are going on. I assume this would be a variable cost that would be reduced without spectators.

If the majority of the cost has already been spent and it’s a relatively small (perhaps less than a few hundred million dollars) cost to conduct the games, why not go through with it? Maybe running a limited games could be a compromise?

I suppose all of the Tokyo 2020 merchandise is already written off and useless.

I acknowledge the whole calculus changes with public health and the pandemic. I’m addressing money as the issue.

Anyways I’m a huge fan of all Olympic events, and the Olympics is the only sporting event(s) I watch. I look forward to them when they come, so I’ll definitely be sad if it was all cancelled, and I’m definitely biased.

There is a wayland protocol called presentation-time that's supposed to provide precise timing information to clients, GNOME just merged support for it two days ago: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/merge_requests/1484

Where are you getting that European companies cannot fire at will?

In many countries they can; they may need to pay compensation but since its normally tied to the length of the employment, in the case of a startup it would be pretty low.

Well, you must not live where I grew up, because I asked this very question...

...which lead to me grokking time zones, time, solar noon, etc in a way I don’t think I would have if I hadn’t asked. Somehow solar noon not being noon didn’t have a negative impact on me as a kid. Weird, right?
Thanks, that's quite clear.

What about the tradeoff vs. large stationary units on power plants? I know other folks are working on that as well; would love to know about how the economics work out vs. truck-sized units.
The main issue of this article is electricity. Another point can be made about the origin of hash rates generated during BTC mining operations. In Q2 2020 China (65,08%), Russia (6,90%), Kazakhstan (6,17%) and Iran (3,82%) comprise ~82% of average monthly hashrate.[1] "Decentralized" :)

> That's impossible to achieve across all latitudes and longitudes, and it's totally arbitrary and has zero benefit.

> Solar noon matters to precisely nobody. No one is looking at the sky to tell time.

That's why the OP said "about when the sun is highest" not "exactly when the sun is highest". And it matters if you like the idea of midday being at, well, the middle of the day. Deliberately adding another ~4% error on top of whatever is there because of arbitrary time zone boundaries, and things begin to add up and eventually you end up like Spain.

> People want sunlight after work. They don't want to be depressed because they finish the day and it's dark outside.

To state the obvious, changing the clocks doesn't change the amount of daylight available. As another commenter said, if we've learned anything from the pandemic, maybe it's that we can be flexible about work hours instead of warping our sense of time and the rhythm of the day because managers and office workers can't fathom the idea of seasonal work hours.
So... What-about-ism?
One of the Authelia devs here. This is correct. Also we're looking to implement OIDC/OAuth2.0 provider functionality. It has been somewhat delayed by COVID19, specifically additional personal burdens that arose because of it.
Well they manage around 500 addresses for me, and I assume they'd like more than 2k users like me some day.
What interests me the most about this is that the times people use for work and school are set while the way we relate time to the cycle of the sun is the thing we want to change.

Yes, and that doesn't really address the issue of proof of work blockchains wasting energy. With BTC specifically, the incentives are there to waste as much energy as possible as the difficulty and price goes up. Yes, you try to do more work with a unit of electricity, but the net incentive is to add more and more.

Then what? Do you end up with this problem? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26226470
Tangent, but i just had this discussion. The hyperloop, despite all the flaws, is overall a good idea. And unlike fusion and supraconductivity at 250+K, the flaws are actually solvables! I thought i couldn't be done before 2070 or something, but someone just recently showed me the flwas left, the tech we have at teh moment, and he convinced me that a commercial Hyperloop could be available on SOME short haul flight before 2040.

Paul Kimmage wrote about it in his book:

There was the confession of the top Italian‘Y’and his explanation ofhow he had narrowly cheated death after a stage of the Tour of Italy.Boosted before the stage by an injection of EPO, he had gone to bed hat night and slept peacefully for two hours, unaware that the oxygen-enhanced blood, flowing through his veins, was rapidly thickening to treacle. EPO is transformed into a lethal cocktail, not during a race when the blood is pumped around the body by a 180 beats-per-minute, high-revving, super-fit, heart rate but at night when the revsdrop way below the norm. As Y’s pulse dropped to a low of twenty-fivebeats per minute, his blood began to clot and his heart began to stall.Had he not been sharing with a team-mate, there is every chance they would have found him dead in the morning...Y lived to tell the tale.Others were not so fortunate.

and Robin Parisotto wrote this:

Between 1987 and 1990, 18 cyclists died tragically and suddenly all from heart attack or stroke. EPO was known to thicken the blood the common cause of heart attack or stroke. Many victims developed clots that broke off and travelled to their hearts or brains; others died of simple cardiac arrest, the organ struggling to pump blood the consistency of oil.

These are all from [1], which is a review of the evidence as to if this actually occurred. It cast doubt on it, but I've read enough accounts to think that cyclists did believe it occurred and probably were wearing HR monitors in bed when on EPO.

That seems reasonable.
But just to clarify what I meant with airlock: some thick plastic bag with a floor-to-ceiling zipper on the "inner" and "outer" ends, and for entry, it's first collapsed by a pump sucking the air out of it. Then you open the zipper on the outer end, step in, close the zipper, let the pump suck away the air around you, and open the inner zipper (they should probably be automatically operated, as you can't move well/much when you are "vacuum bagged").

For exit, basically just the reverse, with the pump pumping the air around the person to wherever the person came from.

The general issue with unbreathable atmospheres is that a failure in their SCBA gear easily kills them.

And re-breathers that are only there so you don't have to scrub the atmosphere in the room as often shouldn't be particularly expensive. You may even get away with just putting a CO2 scrubber on the exhaust path, and giving them slightly oxygen-enriched bottled air so you can keep e.g. a 50:50 oxygen:nitrogen ratio inside (so e.g. 20% O2, 20% N2, 60% Novec 1230).
And it doesn't even need to be particularly effective, as you can breathe in quite a bit of the ambient air without being harmed, and the environment can tolerate some of your CO2. Like, as long as it scrubs half of your exhausted CO2 it won't even feel stuffy in there (you could handle the ambient air you'd have without re-breathers being used, as it'd be just 1.6% CO2, but you'd almost immediately get a headache).

They'd have an exhaust vent for pressure equalization, which would chill the air to condense and re-cycle the Novec 1230. For pressure equalization in the other direction, they'd probably just boil off some of that recycled Novec 1230.

So yeah, re-breather not needed, if you just get a mouth+nose mask to breathe bottled 50:50 oxygen:nitrogen mix.
That 50% oxygen limit (actually 500 mBar) is due to long-term toxicity, btw. Prolonged exposure to higher levels causes lung scarring and myopia/retina detachment, so not really fun.
One of the Authelia devs here. Not yet as we currently are not a OIDC provider. However this is a feature we are prioritizing, and forward auth / auth request are viable alternatives for apps that have any RBAC or support a user/group header.
For me, winter without DST meant going to school in the dark and coming home in the dark. That certainly didn’t help my circadian rhythms...
You're probably right. People at moderate latitudes--say 35+ degrees--mostly love their long summer evenings and they have tons of light in the morning anyway. And many may think they're fine with their cold dark winter mornings being a bit colder and darker in exchange for not having a time shift (and more light, such as it is, on the other end). But they actually aren't.
Many species “stopped being life” because they took a wrong turn at evolution crossroads. But that may become irrelevant for us in few centuries.

I don't mean this critically but your product alarms me. I can imagine these reports being gamed and used to stack rank teams.

I am trying to be more open minded about your work but I can't understand how developer productivity could be measured with any of these metrics. I'm not aware of any prior work or research that shows that either. Writing software is a complex task and quantising it in this way seems reductive and problematic.

I would welcome being wrong about this. What am I missing?
By studying past incidents which are similar and creating accurate models to predict what will happen based on the data you can rapidly access.

If you have a whole bunch of radiation sensors spread around your nuclear plant, you know the level of radiation that people are likely to be exposed to in the near future. If you know the effects of radiation on people, you can predict the health consequences of allowing them to be exposed. If you have records of increased death rates in various evacuations, you can predict the cost of evacuating in this instance. Compare the cost of the two options, go with the better one.

It would be one thing if it was the early days of nuclear power and no one knew what the effects of radiation were, and no one had ever considered the possibility of an accident, but this is a mature technology which people have spent decades studying in close detail. People knew at the time that the evacuation plan was a bad idea, and this current report comes as no surprise. By simply assuming that the better-safe-than-sorry approach was to evacuate rather than consulting models based on data, those in charge killed a lot of people.
Easier how? It’s funny how the goalposts keep shifting
Evolution has led to life but I'm struggling to see why it should be a criterion. What if something happened that stopped humans evolving, and we maintained the same general genetic distribution for the next few millennia? Would we stop living?
I haven't found that working definition. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26365934 for a couple of examples I quoted.

If the NRA stops giving campaign contributions to a Senator who voted for gun-control laws, then is the NRA cancelling the Senator? Some definitions are so broad that they include this otherwise totally acceptable behavior. Since most people say "cancel" is a universally bad thing, those definitions cannot be correct.

If a low-level service worker is fired for supporting the LGBTQ movement while not at work, then have they been canceled? Some definitions only apply to the rich or famous ("public figures and companies"), so exclude those people. Yet obvious if the roles are reversed, with a CEO fired for being against the LGBTQ movement, then people have no problems applying the "cancel" label.

Which is why I argue that "working definition" you refer to appears mostly like a rhetorical technique against left-leaning views.

So far no one had given me any definition, much less one which appears to be a better fit than the one I gave.

Even within the context "public figures and companies", you tell me: by your understanding of "cancel", was Kaepernick canceled? If so, then Trump was a one of the loudest people calling for his cancelling, yes? If not, why not?

Was Cooper (in the direct parent comment you replied to) canceled after he was fired from being CEO at the company he founded? If not, why not?

> "This just flew by on Apple News"

If my thesis is correct, that "cancel culture" is little different from "liberal complaints", then of course it would be a headline on Fox News.

This is exactly classic liberalism. It's hard to get more classic than John Stuart Mill, and I just quoted the relevant text from "On Liberty".

I’ve heard of EPO-users getting up in the middle of the night to trainer cycle because exercise increases blood flow which reduces clotting risk. Lower heart rates may cause/compound this.

Even a non-fatal minor clot in a leg or lung will doom a cyclist.

In hospitals, sedentary patients will receive anti-clotting drugs, but may not (or get reduced dosages) if they’re able to walk around a lot.
