> While I try to keep my working hours at 40 per week (as my contract says), I have the feeling that some coworkers are using (or abusing maybe) the WFH to actually put in significantly fewer hours than the expected ones, while still getting all the salary, and has become their new norm.

Why you care what other coworkers do?

As per your question: I have never worked exactly 40 hours (even if my contract says so). Reason: I can't do 8h/day of productive outcome. When I was working at the office I usually did around 4h of focused work + 1h of non-focused work + 1h meetings + 2h 'wasted' (e.g., chatting with colleagues, breaks, lunch, unofficial chats about work).

Since I'm WFH, I work 4h of focused work + 1h meetings (if any). That's it. The wasted time is no longer wasted. So, yeah I do work 'fewer' hours in theory. In practice, my productiviy has never been so good.

>Ethereum's blockchain uses up over 1 terrabyte

Presumably any currency that records all the world's transactions is going to have terabytes if not petabytes of data. Either you go with a tech that will support big data or you limit the transactions like bitcoin making it impractical as an everyday payment mechanism?

For me the important part of decentralized is it can be run in different places so governments can't shut it down, not that everyone can process the world's transactions on their laptop.
maybe start from the names: socialism tries to put society first, capitalism tries to put capital first. western europe democracies try to be 'social capitalism', with mixed results, but maybe not as disastrous and scary as some folks here would like them to be.
> An infertile woman is broken then?

I don't know if I would necessarily use this particular word as it's mostly associated with lifeless objects, but in a sense - yes. Similarly to how having a disability or being an amputee is, for the lack of a better term, being "broken", as your body fails to function is some manner. Life is more nuanced and it's not all about that of course, but you get the idea.

> Of course you can. 100% of non-broken computers can be used for computing -- the "non-broken" part is usually implied when talking about them.

So a broken computer is no longer a computer? I'm too stupid to delve into a philosophical debate about what truly makes a thing a thing, but I just don't accept that.

Even still, there is always a chance that the computer will randomly malfunction and do something unexpected at any time. Unlikely, but possible. So you can never say for sure that an operation of 2 + 2 will result in 4.

> If the members of a category don't have any shared traits -- i.e. something that is true for all of them -- then what is it even useful for?

If it's accurate enough then it's useful for making predictions. You know, science and stuff.

I wonder, how would you describe what a 'human' is?
Ads and sponsorships are two ways that creators can earn a living, but there's additional ones; YT subscriptions, Patreon and selling merchandise comes to mind.

Anyway the sponsors won't know (unless I'm mistaken) if a viewer skipped that segment, so the creator will get paid anyway.
Once you have a backdoor, everyone has the backdoor.
I wonder if you would have posted this if the crack had been shaped in the form of a lightning bolt invoking Zeus instead of "god".
The grammar is not that simple. I think that misconception is caused by people noticing that they don't have to memorize conjugation tables like when learning fusional languages, but then they fail to realize that the complexity has not disappeared, it's just encoded in word order and choice of grammatical particles instead.

There's actually an NLP shared task challenging researchers to automatically detect grammar errors learners make when writing Chinese: http://www.cged.tech/
Hey man, unfortunately not. But I am actually considering it, will update you here when I publish the repo on github.
sorry for late. I am the author of this project. Welcome to any question:)
It's not stealing because the creators will get paid anyway. Second, said creators have minimal expenses because YT pays for the hosting. Third, ad and sponsorship blocking represents only a small fraction of users. It's a fraction to, say, people sharing their netflix account.
Kinda think kid would loose it quicker, but it really depends where you live. In some places their books might be worth more. In some it's 3 months salary.

Watch does sound like a good fit for kids - enough to get information, but not screen size to lurk on it all day.
I can't blame people for not giving money and personal information (signing up to Premium requires creating a Google account and provide true personal information for billing purposes) to a hostile company that makes its money on stalking users.
Assuming those savings are invested, it wouldn't change anything. Right now there is an excess of uninvested savings in corporations that is not being invested and sure, distributing that money would help with the economy but betting on inheritance taxes to do the job is weird. It's too unreliable.
Because of the history in those places, new Belarus will immediately try to join EU and NATO. That is an option which Russia will try to prevent. As history shows there are some windows of opportunity for the things to go either way. It seems that the major escalation is coming in Donbass - Ukraine has beefed up the forces, and in particular brought in the Turkish drones which (being very successful against Russian made tanks and air defenses) provided for the recent blitzkrieg in Azerbaijan (and the very cake-in-the-face moment for Russia who supported Armenia in that war), and Russia has massed up large force on the Donbass border - which would probably result in large involvement and losses for Russia, and that may be the window of opportunity for the things to quickly change. Of course it may also be a last stand nothing to lose moment for Russia and it will just force its way in Belarus.
the sponsors will have metrics to measure the conversion rate from ad-rolls in their sponsored videos. They will pay initially, but over time, less and less as the ads become less and less effective.
The author comes from the beginners perspective but it sucks for veterans too.

How many transitions have you done? As a long time dotnet developer I feel like there’s been constant transitioning and back and forth.

It isn’t simple to transition either. As you have to wait for all your dependencies to transition, there are usually many different solutions to update, there are breaking changes and bugs to deal with and on top of it there’s the constant moving target to be up to date. It’s definitely made it painful to use dotnet.
I struggle to have any sympathy for "the little guy".

Noone's lying to them, noone's defrauding them, noone's stealing anything or embezzling from them.

It's just greed, plain and simple. If you pile into a get-rich-quick scheme but end up holding the bag in, then more fool you.

I still think it should probably be regulated to prevent idiots from losing their life savings. But I won't pretend the losers are ethically any different from the winners. No matter whether you're early or late to the party, you're all just hucksters looking for a quick buck from a pump-and-dump.

I'm not contesting that fuelwood isn't a major particulate pollution source, where and when used.

I'm contesting that it's widely used.

Wood / pellet stoves in dense urban environments are a small fraction of total cooking and heating load.

And I'm also arguing precisely your point: that woodstoves widely used are a major pollution and deforestation issue.
The problem with sponsor spots is that they're the same every single video, there's just not enough diversity on the market.

Is it bad to be skipping a sponsor segment because you've seen it dozens of times? Is it bad if you're already a happy user of the advertised product? Etc.
> less developed

What do you mean by "less developed" ? Those people have been with us on earth for the very same period of time as any other human. So they have been developing themselves culturally, economically, whatever-ally as much as any other human.
I created this tool for myself because I often work with xlsx and csv files. This is usually done through Python Pandas. But if you just need to read these files and work with the values in the lines, you don't need to import the whole Pandas library. It is not even necessary to install Pandas for easier deployment. This can save you up to 2GB space if you do docker images with Pandas.

One of the things I still don't understand are services like snyk.io, which are supposed to do security analysis. But they penalize a tool like this for not having CoC, Contributing in the GitHub repository, and what is most shocking to me is that they measure Popularity. I understand that if more people are involved in the SW, it is probably safer. But penalizing someone for having few stars on GitHub seems weird to me. Especially when the tool is used by several people / companies and it has over 5,000 downloads.
That's always been the biggest fear with Covid, so that's not unexpected. Long ICU durations, lack of sufficient ICU spots and staff, high infection rate, low case fatality rate still means it can quickly overwhelm hospitals and lead to much higher rates of death overall.

People crying "it's just a flu" were always missing the point.

I have been using this for a while, and beyond the sponsorship for whatever earbuds-junk or loot-box scam, this also skips those annoying intro sections so many Youtubers add just to pad their watch-time.

You do realise that a lot of people in Russia want to get rid of Putin too? And neither dictator will live forever, both are in their late 60s.
I've been following the situation in Belarus since last August and it's really terrible. I admire how so many brave people look death in the eye and still fight for freedom. I have friends there and this allowed me to understand that there's so much potential in Belarus -- there are so many talented, intelligent people getting by in this adversarial environment. So sad to see how Lukashenko's kleptocracy regime wasted so many years and chances for a better future for millions of people.

Anyway -- you can help! Most of the communication, coordination and crime-documenting happens on Telegram and the regime tries to block access to this information. You can run Telegram Proxy [0][1]. The installation is fairly straightforward, mostly setup and forget. After setup you can register your proxy with MTProxybot [2], so that people can learn about/use your proxy. If you know people there, I also recommend setting up a private proxy just for them (i.e. not registering with [2]) and sharing over private communication channel (e.g. Signal), as the thugs try to block proxies, so it's a cat-and-mouse game.

Edit: Added info about MTProxybot.

I pay tax when I earn money, I then give it to my mechanic to service my car, and I pay more tax on that, he then pays tax on the money I give him.

Why should inheritance be any different?
Hey founders Your business doesn't need you to operate
Why should it be a single world currency? Why not just have a system of multiple currencies which can be accepted interchangeably as payment? Automatic valuation and conversion of a cryptocurrency is possible. It can even be done in a decentralized way without trusting anyone.
This still doesn't help, does it? If I can verify that I voted, and my vote counted for something, doesn't mean that the entire vote was counted correctly, or that everyone voted as they are saying they voted, or that a "corrupt government"[1] didn't flood the vote with their own fake votes.

[1] "Corrupt government officials" is the inevitable straw man in any blockchain discussions.
My bad, it was a sorry attempt at being witty. I didn't mean any disrespect to your choice.
I'm a fairly open minded person and I can change my mind if something makes sense to me. I assumed that maybe here I will find someone who can explain this thing to me, but so far I'm not impressed. The mean of perpetuating our species seems to be a too important detail to accept "it's none of your business" as an answer. I also think that if it's taught to children then it is a public matter.

> What is actually so special about consciousness

Nothing, but if there's one thing I've learned discussing this at length with philosophers and AI students it's that once you get down to it and all the argumentation is gone it will boil down to "I'm special because I want to be". In that sense, discussing these matters with most people is just not a productive use of your time. Unless perhaps you've never done it before and you want to find out what that's like :)
A stolen apple watch is pretty much useless. A stolen iPhone can be sold for parts, as there's a big market for original screens, but apple watch parts are in not as big a demand (I think).
So, basically, ads are more private than subscriptions?

> If you force a bunch of rich people to spend more than they would have, the Fed will just take that money straight back out of the economy.

So if they go on more vacations, buy a flashy car, have more parties, you are saying that the Fed "takes that money straight back" and that it doesn't go to travel agencies, car dealers, caterers, party planners, service workers etc?

> Ten families in $1 million houses get more happiness than one family in a $10 million house and nine homeless families. No matter how you shuffle the accounting around it has to add up to that same utility difference.

Sure, and I reject your hypothetical and say it's better if 100 people live in $80k (after some tax) houses/condos than 1 in a $10M house, if we're just making things up.
I’m just getting into infrastructure stuff like this, how does Pulumi work with CI/CD? Does it check what infrastructure it needs to create every deploy? What assurances are there that it won’t delete the whole production database every push?
The fact that it works with any iPhone /is/ the innovation. I would imagine less than 0,5% of iPhone users has the Tile app installed. A worldwide network of connected iPhones will make this technology finally worth using.
I doubt the $3 weather sensor has been tested / rated / secured in the same way that sensors for a motorway would be.
It’s very neat for individual servers

Doesn’t work well for monitoring multiple servers though from what I can tell.
that's fatalism, not realism. Change is possible still, but admittedly much momentum and a big chance currently seems lost.

Ha! emojis are great, sure.

I'm just not sure there is any real innovation here, it all seems to be rather circular.
Is basically the same thing as a Fitbit? I used one of those for six months and I tracked my sleep -- kind of interesting, but I didn't completely trust it. It seemed to think that if I was laying down and not moving then I was sleeping -- which wasn't always true.

Apparently if it's not measuring your brain waves, it's not actually measuring deep sleep.

Also this gives me the creeps:

Show HN: Atsh.io – GUI for Advanced Twitter Search Queries
I created https://www.atsh.io/ after learning about advanced Twitter search queries, and wanting to try out a quick, small project on NextJS and Vercel.

So I made something that will allow non-techie users to use advanced queries with a simple GUI.

It's not super sophisticated, but thought I'd share anyway.

Shake that boat, provoke Kremlin, arm the populace, make Kremlin bleed, and go broke.

The longer the Russia will be dragged into this war, the deeper Putinisms' grave will be, and the less is the chance of Russia ever growing big enough to threaten Europe.

I am totally for dragging Russia into a bloody war.
I would also guess there's some watch time data access through the YouTube API, too. Plus tracked links in those cards at the corner of a video.
Maybe in the face of growing russian agression nato will relax it's rules.
Taxes are moral because taxes fund the society which allows us to live. You can debate about the level of taxation, what to tax (labour vs capital vs natural assets) and what functions that society should provide, but there are very few people claiming that national defense, or courts, or city streets, should not be funded from the public purse.
Definitely a frustration for those of us having done .Net for 20 years. Even the naming frustrates me. Every time they seem to create a new "one name to rule them all", it only lasts a short while until a new one comes along net framework, .net core, .net standard .net 5 and apparently now .net 6.

As the OP said, the overarching problem is probably trying to be all things to all people and pretending that all of those things are .Net. It also produces a sadly common attitude now of "we won't fix that in dotnet core 3, upgrade to .net 5" as-if that is even a possibility for many existing apps.

One idea that comes from way back in the day was having an IDE that you could set to beginner, intermediate and advanced so that when you start out, you only see a subset of things. You can then get more confident in the basics before seeing more options and windows.

Another idea I liked was removing older features so that you don't keep getting bigger and bigger.
> The lender is one of the parties

The "parties" do not know each other. And it does not matter who put the contract up, who put assets in and who borrowed assets from the contract.

Because everything is in the smart contract. Even the assets. Are you aware that Ethereum contracts hold assets?

P.S. us citizens need to acknowledge that the reason they don't have such a luxury is a lack of competition in ISP space, make that issue nonpartisan, discuss it with everyone who cares, find out why other countries are in a better state? what are the structural differences? are there laws preventing competition? etc
Capitalism puts capital first, sure, but it is necessary to say it specifically puts person-owned capital first.

Economically the USSR had capital too, but it was mostly owned collectively (by the state).

Hence I define the two in terms of the people that actually own stuff.
Not sure why people are still confused about this.

I don't know much about linguistics, so most of your post I can't really evaluate, but responding to the falsifiability of Chomsky's theories: I got the impression that Chomsky makes (among other claims) a pretty specific claim about human language, which is that recursion is a universal feature of human language. That seems falsifiable to me, and an important topic of the article is the academic discussion on whether Everett's findings constitute disproof of Chomsky's theory.

Digital currencies, as backed by central banks, are just fiat currencies on a digital ledger.
The Hacker News crowd (mostly the Google types) endorsing the statement implying the Google types are somehow superior to the Ford types itself shows the lack of self-awareness for the Google types.
Owning a share of the building has its own issues as well though. If your neighbours suck and don't care about maintaining the building adequately, then you're basically out of luck. Even worse, at least here in Finland some older apartment buildings in smaller cities are worth too little to get funding from bank for larger renovations, effectively making them impossible to do unless every tenant is capable and willing of getting a personal loan.

I will never buy an apartment from reasons mentioned above. Just way too risky, at least with my own house it would be up to me what gets done and what doesn't.
Which is?

i pay for youtube premium, i don't want ads, if you bake it in your video i'm still seeing ads i don't want. And it's ads about VPN that are allways the same. I don't want that.
There's this one sentence in the article, that – I think – may give a hint on the difficulties explaining linguigenesis if constrained in the way portrayed by the article:

> The authors compared animal and human communication, eliminating the aspects of vocalization that are shared by both, and concluded that one operation alone distinguished human speech: recursion. In the course of working on the article, Fitch grew sympathetic to Chomsky’s ideas and became an articulate defender of the theory of universal grammar.

"(…) distinguished human speech(…)", if you think about it, that's a weird assertion/assumption to make. The idea, that there's a clear line between human and non-human communication, as if this was something binary.

We humans have this weird concept, that there's "something", that makes us fundamentally different from the rest of the animal life on this planet. Yes, we've got the largest impact on the biosphere, we can reason about it. But if you were to track back on the coginitive abilities of our evolutionary ancestors, I'd say it would be very difficult to put a hard threshold in the phylogenetic tree, where suddenly a whole subset of means of communication discretly vanishes.

Just my 2 cents…

So, the borrower starts with X BTC. They post X BTC as collateral and borrow X-y BTC (where y > 0). Once the loan is paid off, they get the collateral back. This means they end up with X BTC minus the interest paid on X-y. Why would anyone do that?
Integrating this into youtube-dl would be great.
