I wouldn't expect them to not change the strains over such a longe period of testing. But I also expected that changes would be mentioned, so... although I am optimistic about GMO and I believe it is unavoidable, but this could have been more transparent for sure.

>I wonder if your literal children would feel like that if you'd taken the same money for a ring that will (presuming you proceed with marriage) pretty much never get worn, and invested it in an index fund until their 21st birthday.

I don't know what culture you're from. But in North America engagement rings are worn as every day jewellery. So it gets used daily.

>I wonder if your literal children would feel like that if you'd taken the same money for a ring that will (presuming you proceed with marriage) pretty much never get worn, and invested it in an index fund until their 21st birthday.

I guess you're presuming that because I spent money on one thing... I'm unable to spend money on another thing? Do you apply the same logic to everything in your life? "I really should have gone with the cheapest clothing available as then I could have saved $x towards my children's future!"

Regardless my children do in fact have investment accounts opened in their names and invested in index funds, and I don't regret buying my wife a nice engagement ring, our our Audi, or our house, etc etc. I hope if you get married you don't put every expense through the view point of "If I invested this for 21 years!" as you'd never take a day of vacation, or enjoy yourself. :)
This is all or nothing thinking. No one solution will solve everything, but trees plus emissions reductions are probably the two easiest and biggest.

I agree that input lag makes it niche, but niche and experimental can be okay. I think the real problem is their pricing model. Stadia is well set up for a Netflix style pricing model where you spend $X a month to try out an experimental idea that works well for some people but not for others. However, having to pay full price for games on a platform that might not work well for you and might even disappear in the near future is just non-sensical.
Bumming is pretty common here. We don’t say the other word.
A bit out of topic: the OP mentions using Tailwind.

I've peeked into the dev tools to see how Tailwind is used there. And since I'm advocating against using Tailwind, this page seems to be a perfect example what problems it brings to the table. Plenty of elements had to use custom classes to randomly overwrite some Tailwind classes here and there (like .display-3 and .main-headline) or completely avoiding Tailwind, like for the #recovered-revenue-main.

It just shows that Tailwind did not solve issues it was claiming to solve, at least in this project. And I guess it must be a pain to maintain this project since PR reviewer and other coworkers now have to know Tailwind by heart to figure out quickly what really got overwritten and why.
I'll run Apache till the end.
Snowplow Analytics | Site Reliability Engineer | London or Remote (UTC +/- 2)

The open-source technology at Snowplow empowers people to differentiate with data. Running on AWS and GCP data technologies, it is the platform for teams who want to serve complex data use cases in an increasingly privacy and security conscious world.

We collect, validate, enrich and load billions of events for our customers each day, who also benefit from our online experience and expertise in running our own tech.

It’s an exciting time here at Snowplow. We are actively selling in 14 countries with hundreds of customers and thousands of open-source users; Snowplow is well placed to weather the ongoing economic storm, having recently closed its Series A2 fundraising with Atlantic Bridge and MMC Ventures.

We are looking for another SRE to join our Technical Operations team at Snowplow to help with managing our Private SaaS infrastructure systems as we scale up from currently just shy of 200 data pipeline installations into the thousands and beyond across multiple public cloud providers (currently AWS & GCP).

The full opportunity and details can be found here: https://jobs.lever.co/snowplowanalytics/3983dfa4-5c73-4d0d-a...

Tech Stack: Consul, Vault, Nomad, Terraform - with some bash, python and GoLang thrown in for good measure.
Clouds: AWS, GCP

Sometimes it’s collectively referred to as Benelux, so a name that would fit in the Netherlands does not surprise me.

It does throw me when some documentary interviews a Frenchman with a very German last name. Until I find out he lives in Alsace. That area traded hands so many times. There are some French names on the other side of the border too, I’m told.

And isn’t “Austria” just a mistranslation of the German for “The outer lands”? But we don’t talk about that any more. Not since The War.
> Apple won out over Microsoft in consumer electronics because they were able to make decisions up and down the stack as a unit whereas Microsoft had to deal with layers of device makers and consortia.

That sounds nice but can't be true. Remember when Apple almost went out of business? It was the exact same situation then.

I'll offer an alternative hypothesis: Apple won out because they executed well year over year over year. They made that vertical integration work for them by slowly making things better faster than the competition.

Apple also never paid a strategy tax. They cannibalized their existing business ruthlessly. This is also unrelated to vertical integration.

Proton is really good compared to earlier attempts to game on Linux. However we still have a long way to go.

The claim is that like 75% of Windows games are rated "gold" or higher for support using proton. IMO the standard for "gold" and even "platinum" is frequently a lot lower than it should be. There are some games that work perfectly, but IMO even if you stick to gold/platinum rated games there's still a >50% chance you're going to run into some kind of annoying bug or jankiness.

It wasn't good enough for me so I switched back even though I'd really rather stop using Windows on any of my systems.

You mean OUYA. But no, OUYA was a complete disaster, one could argue that Stadia actually works, the problem is the business model and the weird way Google manages its products.
Surely they don’t or they wouldn’t have developed this reputation in the first place.
This is really what reddit is built for. After I read a book I can't get enough of I'll usually go check on youtube to see if the author has done any interviews or podcast and then I'll look around for the subreddit for either the author or the book and sort by top all time. Occasionally I'll also make a post.

I've also always loved the idea of a book club but I've never joined or started one.
There was a lot of innovative design in the 90s when computers transitioned from being viewed as industrial-like equipment to friendly, humanist tools. I might just be getting old, but there were some really great designs in the 90s. Even things old PC towers like the Inwin Q500 still look good, despite not being the latest fashion.

Because currently it’s impossible to test the amount of catecholamines in the brain.

What is a normal level? well, you know it when you feel it. There is no normal level, I get what you mean, depression exists for a reason. As does mania. These are healthy responses when we come into contact with an external stimuli. The issue is with mental illness, not mental health. With mental illness the changes happen with no apparent environmental stimulus.

Something of a misframing here? The issue is not masking/non-masking but mandatory masking or not (I don't believe I've ever heard of advocates for banning masking by those so inclined). And I don't see how person A telling person B what they must wear can be anything but political, see North Korea's "permitted haircuts for men" for example.
Yes, my point was that especially in 2001, it would have been easy to not have the technical acumen to realize the story was satire, and to write a serious news story about it.
If you have an idea and no product right now you have nothing except your creativity. If you think your idea is valuable there’s two paths you could take:

If it’s novel, try to patent the idea and then license the patent. If you walk into a meeting with an idea and no patent, they could say thank you and then build it on their own. Look at what happened with the Winklevoss twins when they tried to hire Mark Zuckerburg to build their social networking idea.

or

Build the idea into a business and establish that it works. This changes the financial calculus for the companies.

Also realize that the bright people working at FAANG have ideas all the time but they may never get developed into products due to prioritizing other projects. Apple would have to decide whether to run with your project or spend the money on their next top secret gadget. You could get hired as a product manager at one of these companies, but those jobs are managing other people’s products and almost never your own. When they look for product managers they’re not looking for product ideas but for someone who can ship things already in the pipeline.

I'm wondering if this is related to the recent Roku argument; perhaps YouTube is trying to force Roku to incorporate a hardware decoding chip (maybe with an increased cost) in future products as a condition to stay on the platform.
Taking it off and letting it dry out can prevent the bacterial growth and undesirable consequences associated with wearing one for long periods, mask mouth being the most obvious example, with various forms of upper and lower respiratory infections also a serious risk:

Sure it does. It updates the software automatically with seemingly no way of stopping the behavior without first paying a fee.

Microsoft has been around a long time and they seem to adapt pretty rapidly. I wonder what percentage of the company today was around during Ballmer days, and how the culture has changed over time within the company. Naturally it's going to be driven by the market, but I wonder, are older MS folks moving with the culture shift? Or is it newer hires that are pushing for the open source ethos?

As a Mac and Linux user, I really like Microsoft these days. VSCode, WSL, Rust, containers, Surface, .NET Core, all are pretty sweet.

Actually implementing it would of course break Shabbat, but pondering it is fine.
Not everyone is comfortable with the risk that the truth might eventually come out.

What some intrepid manufacturer should do is create custom diamonds that are actually more expensive than natural diamonds, with some subtle structure that cannot be found in nature. That solves the problem of immoral sourcing, and better suits the purpose of displaying wealth.
> Everyone acts hoping that they can bring more good to the world than bad.

Not so sure about that one
I should also mention that even imperceptible to the human eye traits of diamonds like clarity and color, above SI or near-colorless affect value and pricing despite the fact that nobody can tell with the naked eye in normal conditions whether your stone is a F color or I.

Some people just ascribe value to these things, probably in the same way others value comics, baseball cards, art, NFTs...

So let people value what they want rather than pass judgement.

One factoid that was shared with me at the beginning of this mess is:

Humans are REALLY bad at responding to highly unlikely events.

We see this in the pandemic: Someone MIGHT die -> respond out of fear

I will CERTAINLY not die -> push for "freedom"

We saw this with past calamities: twin towers -> hunt down the terrorists

Great Recession (and Great Depression). Even personal trauma has an impact (personal job loss or a friend with cancer).

I, personally, advocate for COMPASSION as I see people on both sides of the pandemic get buffeted back and forth by their emotions. Acknowledge that they are in a hard spot; they are gripped by fear, guilt, loneliness. People from every background are getting ripped up because of the uncertainty of how to respond to the pandemic.

So I ask all of HN: The next time you see someone with a "crazy" opinion of the pandemic, be patient and show them love. Their life is probably hard enough, and they might need a friend.
Wearing a mask is a common sense mitigation for respiratory diseases. The politicization occurred due to political hacks capitalizing on the burden of changing conditions/consensus to preach a message of conspiracy and irresponsibility.

Freedom relies on distributed intelligence and responsibility. Without that, we either get authoritarianism or a failed society. Politically, I want to live in a society without mask mandates because everybody wears one in their own self interest. Apparently we need a lot more critical thinking to be at that point, and so authoritarianism steps in.

Furthermore, a lot of the authoritarianism hasn't been actual mandates - for instance, there have been no "lockdowns" apart from CA early on. The same lack of critical thinking causes people to perceive government recommendations as mandatory, ultimately resolving the ambiguity in a productive manner.
I’m sitting here wondering whether there might ever be a tax on user data. It sounds a bit strange but I do feel like we underestimate how much data consolidation creates uncompetitive environments.
This would, however, make a difference with people with mental illness. I make a distinction here between mental health and mental illness. I have been given so many different types of medications to manage so many different types of catecholamines, but they never know which catecholamines are higher low. I have bipolar disorder, it’s genetic, it’s in my family. If they could tell me what I needed to bring me down or take me up that would help me Tremendously.
I never understood the idea behind a wedding ring being an "investment". It's not like you plan on ever selling it. It's purely an expense. If you wont sell it, then a ring's value is only in its aesthetic and any sentiment attached to it by the wearer - neither of which seem to be strongly related to the initial purchasing price.

Of course, people often sell their rings if they get divorced... but wouldn't that make actually an expensive ring an incentive to separate? The whole gesture makes very little sense.
> Except for that it uses technology that harms the environment.

Apparently it's on Ethereum. Ethereum is already using an hybrid PoW / PoS (proof of stake) chain and at some point the PoS chain should be the only one. It PoS works, the impact on the environment should be a rounding error.

If channel A uploads a video copied from channel B, then makes a copyright claim against channel B, how does an automated system determine which owns the rights? Certainly it would seem in most cases that we should presume channel B has the copyright, since they uploaded first. But there is a very economically important class of videos where infringers will tend to be the first to upload (movies, TV shows, etc.). I don't really see how an automated system solves this problem without making any mistakes. Especially because the law (DMCA) puts the onus on the service provider to take down or face liability.
So much nostalgia; I bought and used a SPARCstation IPC in the early 90s, running SunOS 4.1.3, for a number of years. It felt like living in the future, so much productivity.

The US has “race” fields on most forms with equally ridiculous options.
there's nothing rational about HN's brand of rationalism - which is really just materialist reductionism. In this thread alone are dozens of people completely blind to the concept of social signals, thinking instead about price, clarity and the vague notion of distant moral dilemmas. Beyond basic survival requirements, social signals are one of the most important concepts in human society! To exclude them from your considerations is deeply irrational in the unique way that developers often are.
I don’t see what’s so hard to understand. The entire point of buying a ring is that you’re showing her how much you care by spending a bunch of money on something special. Instead, you decided to save money and get something that’s not as special, and that hurt her feelings.
That's the myth we were sold. It's the myth many of us believed. I certainly did.

In truth, greater efficiencies don't decentralise, they centralise. The market area expands. Suppliers or vendors, rather than competing locally, compete regionally or globally. In winner-take-all markets, there is only one winner, worldwide.

There are some twists on this, having to do with regional customs, language, and law, mostly. There's also the time element, where tech monopolies tend to be ascendent, then (often but not always) replaced. Still, a technological advantage can last a very long time, as with IBM and AT&T. Two of today's FAANG date from the 1970s, another two from the 1990s. Dominance can be long-lived.

There were some who saw this coming. Andrew Shapiro's The Control Revolution (1999) kinda-mostly saw this coming, and certainly called out the major aspects. Shoshana Zuboff recognised at least some of the potential in the 1970s and 1980s.

The crowd still believes the lie, for the most part.
> To me it indicates a very materialistic, shallow worldview. If 40k rings are required to show love, what do they think of people who aren't as wealthy?

Or - hear me out - the partner was embarrassed to verbalize that she's competing with the friend's engagement ring, and therefore created a less embarrassing, post-hoc rationalization as to why she wants a $40k ring too. Here's a thought experiment - had the friend gotten a $6k ring, would she have asked for a ring closer to $6k or still gone with $40k, by some intuition?

> Heck if someone's marrying you, why do you need to show your love at all, shouldn't that be established to them?

Unfortunately, no (on both sides: some people marry for the wrong reasons, and it's not close to showing your love - which shouldn't be an event)

> I think you should be incredibly judgy about who you choose to marry.

Absolutely.

>I'm talking about this self-replicating effect in particular. In some distance far far away, there'd be some instance of me exactly identical and behaving exactly identically including writing these words right now.

Maybe.

>Or, more generally, some superimposed versions of me partially overlapping, as can be seen with those overlapping Es in the original article.

Maybe - it depends on the complexity of not just you but everything around you. There may be billions of similar yous around you, with some variation based on their history, but it's not close enough 'you' for your arbitrary definition.

I guess what I'm saying is, it really depends on how it all works. The interactions of different cellular automata can still give rise to incredible complexity that might make identical yous very difficult or impossible. Twins have similar circumstances to a high degree but even they can be different physically and are always different experimentally.

It's complicated.
If I learn something short and interesting I'll sometimes post it on /r/todayilearned and get a conversation going around that. Minor difficulty is that you need to link to something, and unless it's a web article the post won't succeed, but that's usually not hard and you end up learning more in the process.

Actually sometimes you even start to doubt what you've read when it's hard to come up with a second source. For example I read in "Broca's Brain" that Thomas Jefferson refused to believe in meteorites, but could not find a second source.
