Yeah, I still want a Soviet Union watch. There also some old Chinese Seagull watches that look great. I have a small collection of watches (only have 19). They sparkle joy :) I have a Apple Watch (1st gen) but never really liked it I keep going back to the mechanical watches.My latest addition is the gorgeous 1815 Moonphase
Pixelfed is the kind of project I'm talking about. It's a great start of a project that needs a lot more work to become usable as a serious photography platform. I wish more people would put their effort into improving projects like Pixelfed rather than building front ends for Instagram that get shut down.
No, it's a problem in the way that overselling a concert is a problem.
Are you looking for a protocol or client? For protocol, ActivityPub works for my needs currently. For clients, there are some really good ones on F-Droid.
Out of curiosity, are you aware that similar offerings have been available for over ten years. None of them lasting long with the exception of PS Now.

The others all die a dramatic and fiery death.
On a related note, I did a client side (really badly coded) link lengthner 5 or 6 years ago. : https://rickynotaro.github.io/B.U.R.N/

It basically just base64 encode the url to generate the link and decode the url arg to do the redirect.

I also own this email address that I made just for fun:

Exactly. They need to buy and offer for free certain games to get people to try it.
It’s interesting as I always thought Africa is over populated but then if the whole of France was the Sahara it would be over populated as well.

Key [UX] differences between designing for China and the West
It's technically possible for Valve to pull access to your entire library and games that use Steamworks DRM will no longer work in that circumstance, but as far as I know it's very rare for them to do it at this point. They used to do it if you issued a chargeback, but they had to stop doing that since it was in violation of various government and payment processor policies.
A crippling kind of fine would have to be applied by the EU, not by one country. The EU is a big enough market that withdrawing would do even more damage since the company still has to pay the fine but without a good chink of their market, which they now handed off to rivals or newcomers. Look at VW who hasn't withdrawn from the US market despite the absolutely massive fines.

The difference is the US never shies away from leveraging their top position in a way the EU is simply not able to. So while the EU will leave VW out to dry when they're caught with their hand in the cookie jar, the US is all but guaranteed to apply as much pressure as it takes to protect their interests. I have seen the process repeatedly and nobody will ever be allowed to hit any US interest without massive retaliation. The proof is in front of you, there's no single instance of a major fine payed by a US company in the EU. The largest fine was the one applied to Apple (~$15bn), it's still being contested, and Apple pretty much just agreed to pay a part of the taxes they owed instead (not all, and not the fine).

The fine FB got for the way they lied about the WhatsApp deal was... $122m.

I love the discussion on how language, culture, and experiences play such a different role in seemingly similar apps (e.g., the Starbucks app). Very fascinating analysis.
Their use of an external validation dataset eliminates many, if not all, of those concerns.

Regarding external validation set:

> This dataset differed from the UK Biobank development set with respect to both fundus camera used, and in sourcing from a pathology-rich population at a tertiary ophthalmic referral center.

Regarding UK Biobank set (training set)

> UK Biobank dataset, which is an observational study in the United Kingdom that began in 2006 and has recruited over 500,000 participants—85,262 of which received eye imaging38. Eye imaging was obtained at 6 centers in the UK and comprises over 10 terabytes of data39. Participants volunteered to provide data including other medical imaging, laboratory results, and detailed subjective questionnaires.
A lack of meaningful difference in male and female brains actually supports Summers's explanation of greater male variability. Because of X chromosome mosaicism being one looming factor decreasing female variability (see photographs here: [1]), female brains would have to "catch up" in terms of variance through some other sex differences in how brains function. Obviously, some difference in programming, via "hormones" or whatever, could do it by using different sets of information at the time the brain is constructed. The article is stating that we lack one form of evidence of this.

I'd guess it would also be extra difficult for sex-specific brain differences in high-level structure to evolve when X chromosome inactivation happens quasi-randomly. But nature can surprise you...

Excellent read, and spot-on, IMO. Thanks for the link.
The game selection has improved a lot, but is still the weak point. Resident Evil, Cyberpunk, Madden, FIFA, etc were huge wins. Ubisoft seems all in on Stadia and streaming more broadly. If they can work out a deal to get the upcoming Division Battle Royale as a true free to play on Stadia that could breathe life into the user base.
Sorry, I feel like I'm missing your point.

Per your comment male brains are bigger and different in other ways. You can argue about whether a male brain is bigger because it is male, or because it has higher white/grey ratio because its male.

Either way, male -> bigger.

Again, I'm not saying bigger is better or smarter or whatever. I'm just pointing out that submitted article seems to be unaware of other (well reproduced) work that disagrees with its conclusions...
You have to pay for the games and you can't take them with you and we know Google will shut this down eventually. It would be different if you could use your existing licenses, or even if you could buy on Stadia and play on something else too.

License management isn't sexy, but it's the most important thing behind somehow getting my DSL connection to not have more than one frame of latency to start with.
Click on the original poster. She just dropped a "stick" of spam posts on Hacker News about the menance of Intermittent Fasting but if you read the articles and headlines it seems that they're centered around the "drumbeat" about anorexia and bulemia.

This is not a direct reply to this particular post but it is really about the "whole stick".
AFAIK Nintendo is not necessarily in the business of losing money on hardware, especially if you count accessories like their controllers. I'd need to see numbers to believe that they lose money on the Switch, I suspect that thing is profitable.

Zionism is jewish nationalism. Wiki[0] says so in the very first sentence

[0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionism

> However, unlike white supremacy, Jewish supremacy has strong non-Jewish support; from evangelical Christians in the US and many right-wing parties in Europe. To the latter group, Israel's treatment of "the Muslims" is something to be imitated in their home countries.

Sorry to say I know a few individuals who are disgusting racists but somehow always seem to root for Israel when the news hit about the latest big enough skirmish or weapons testing/bombing
Thanks for the compliment! It's the best one I've gotten since I failed the Turing Test in Kindergarten.
Do we even need clinicians be able to distinguish male and female retinas?

The task is meaningless. Yes, there might be some interesting facts in discovery how male and female retinas are different. It could even lead to differentiated treatments. But ML hasn't provided any clues regarding this and therefore it is not that deep.
I love Stadia and hope it doesn't go anywhere. Playing Destiny 2 with my wife during Corona with free controllers we got for preordering Cyberpunk was an awesome experience. Playing Cyberpunk and then RE7: Biohazard during quick breaks, anywhere, on a potato laptop, convinced me that this is the way we're all going to be playing games not long from now.

Looking forward to playing Resident Evil 8: Village once I finish Biohazard.
I would argue that it does and that we conform behaviors to a standard, but there are alot of assumptions we make that lead us to not understand each other at all

The views outlined in this article are rooted in postmodern Critical Theory [0]

> non-scientific opinion

That's because CT has come to be skeptical of science (Or at least science that doesn't support CT's assumptions). Science can provide evidence that empirically justifies existing structures, whether that's at the abstraction level of physics or the level of society. This is very often at odds with the claims of those who believe in CT and its derivatives.

In the context of contemporary society, it has become taboo to claim that, for example, men and women are different (an oversimplification). A difference, if quantifiable, can be sorted/enumerated - which implies a hierarchy can be formed. Its this implication of hierarchy that I believe is at the core of many of these social and cultural conflicts.

Advertising has been warping the West since Gutenberg, but it really took off exponentially after 1900.

You drop anyone from former centuries (or more insular/insulated cultures) into the late XX century, they'll go into shock.

Anyone with current average Western beliefs, as induced by media, would be considered mentally ill in the not too distant past.
ECMO was used for some Covid patients, but the machines are even more rare and the process even more tricky than ventilation.
> Steam is a rent model too, but nobody seems to mind.

A long time ago, there was an official statement to the effect of "if steam goes down, we'll release a patch to unlock your games" or something to that effect.

I think that was before third parties could even sell on Steam.

Could also be apocryphal, or photoshopped emails and screencaps and the like. It almost certainly doesn't hold true today.

But at the very least, you can download your steam games today, and if it shuts down at some point in the future, you can modify or crack those local files and executables to be playable; multiplayer systems notwithstanding. There's a path forward. With Stadia games, there is nothing without original publisher or developer intervention.
Haven't tried a game on steam that couldn't be opened without steam running. Just go to the games folder and run the executable.
Yeah, it's also just simpler in general.

E.g., Alice and Bob request that coinbase pay them into a channel. Coinbase can just do it according to the instructions from Alice and Bob, and Alice and Bob can be offline thereafter.
This may get downvoted, but...How about recognition that Windows is the OS on ~%80 of the world's workstation computers, and also focus on the competent use of native Microsoft tools like PowerShell and VBA...rather than assuming everyone can/will/"should" use WSL, Cygwin or some other Unix shell/emulator? There's just no getting around this if you're going to work in US public/nonprofit sectors, or companies that don't make tech products.
I remember flying to Munich once from Cape Town and a German colleague guessed the flight was three to four hours. I said no, it was over eleven hours and he was shocked. I laughed and told him to check out a globe sometime - not a map - so he could trace for himself how massive Africa really is. The surface area of the moon is only 20% larger.

And I like to give them kudos when I see Digital Ocean mentioned. I run a business in Puerto Rico, and host our ERP and some other services with DO.

After Hurricane Maria in 2017, I wrote off island suppliers asking for any support they could give. DO write back very quickly crediting us 3 months of hosting based on our prior billing.

And besides, the rep sent a very nicely written note wishing us the best. It was a very human response. Good people to do business with.

Not all countries provide adequate protection for those who wish to go no-contact with family. Sometimes you can hide from former friends and acquaintances, but family members are allowed to continue trying to obtrusively contact you or confront you in public, or can involve the police again and again. In countries where family relationships are considered especially sacrosanct, the police may began to hassle you as the supposed bad guy if you are avoiding contact with parents.
Right, HI is probably not material, but considering AK is 1/4 the size of the contiguous US, that’s pretty substantial.
Ubisoft is launching Ubisoft+ on Stadia, available in beta in the US now.

Capcom had RE Village on there same day as the other stores.

EA are also releasing games on there.

So it seems at least some of the big publishers aren't that against the idea.
Many have free cafeterias or free catered lunch and catered snacks.

There are startups that deliver food to other startups, printing revenue numbers using the same VC’s entire portfolio of companies, therefore sloshing around the exact same dollars in order to get an attractive revenue multiple and exit.

Understanding that makes understanding the whole of Silicon Valley much easier.
Hamas themselves boasted of firing 2000 unguided rockets into Israel in a single day. Additionally, they boasted switching to a new type of rocket that "can hit all of Israel".

https://www.timesofisrael.com/hamas-makes-unverified-claim-i...

https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2021/05/14/hamas-...

So there are some motivations apparently coming out of the (I'm sure also lying) teeth of Hamas, the government of Gaza, who seem to be boasting of initiating the violence. Additionally they are still threatening more Israeli civilians, including foreign civilian aviation companies transporting foreign civilians ...

They are now also using suicide drones, called "Shehab", that were fired at planes they didn't even know who was on them.
Pay $60 per game + subscription fee per month + hardware fee (the controller) to play a game on a $180 chrome book.
Zero tax, and they are going to make trillions? from double dosing (this year) a large percentage of the planet.

I'd like to suggest that all the bailouts governments are giving to the people of their countries be paid for by a large, one off, donation from those companies who have increased their business to a level where they can afford the donation and still be massively in the green.

Amazon, Deliveroo, all supermarkets who lapped up the business of small shops with no delivery options, there were a lot of financial winners from this horrible event.

The taxpayer shouldn't have to repay all this government help.

Taxing these companies would create a lasting burden as a knee-jerk reaction to the problem. A one off payment gives the accountants time to find the loopholes in the new system, as all good accountants do.

Someone has to pay for the pandemic handouts; why the people who received them and not the businesses who profited from them?
Probably true. Even so, I found it remarkable that the very first thing the Lunar lander that China sent to the moon did was send a picture of the place where it landed. Same with the second one that had a rover. And yet the Mars one, more than 24 hours later, hasn't produced a single image?

What makes this story even weirder is if the Chinese are lying about the successful landing, why? And how would they walk that back when no further data came from the rover?

In about 4 days it looks like HiRISE will be in a good position to image the landing area where they landed and so we will get a picture, one way or another.
>screams of these right to repair folks when apple alerts the user to a non-apple battery ring pretty damn hollow

you might be oblivious to the fact this Apple Alert is not about fake battery - it also pops up if you insert Genuine battery from another brand new iphone. Battery alert is about Control over the phone user believes to own.
That's actually a good point.

However, it becomes much murkier from a moral standpoint if you consider a scenario where you try to hide from a corrupt state for e.g. digging up dirt on a high ranking official. Or due to political, racial, religious oppression etc.
Its not also about user needs, given the final application will have access to more functionality, also guaranteeing things will work.

I agree that Electron is user hostile in the way it uses memory, but there's an answer in between the Electron and what Tauri is offering here.

Tauri could have a embedded engine and yet propose a better architecture and better use of memory in consequence. The best of both worlds.

In Chrome for instance, each tab is equivalent to a app, giving is a whole isolated process and yet it doesnt kill your machine even with many tabs open.

Ask HN: How do you deal with “Obligation to Keep Informed” clauses?
I'm a creative person. Not just sometimes; it's a constant aspect of my day to day life. And not just in one way; it crosses domains. Art, writing, music, and yes, programming.
I don't mind a reasonable noncompete, nor a reasonable assignment of inventions ("works created on company time or with company resources"). But I'm finding it exceedingly difficult to find a job offer that doesn't include an excessively broad "Obligation to Keep Informed" clause that requires me to tell my employer, in writing, of every single idea of any kind (not scoped to the employer's business) that I think of at any time (not scoped to working hours), just in case they might need to claim ownership of it via the other clauses.

How can any creative person live under this kind of blanket constraint? I may have several "ideas" every day, many of which might never get written down at all, but all of which would technically fall under the letter of these contracts.

How is this workable for anybody who does personal projects with any amount of regularity? Is this clause practically unavoidable in our industry? Do I need to change career paths to escape it?

On one hand game streaming is great, as it reduces hardware requirements, but not having actual game files on your PC might not give some gamers a chance to experience game modding or "hacking", that usually leads to learning how games are built, and even how computers work.
Steam already supports cloud gaming. I signed a legal agreement on top of the existing Steamworks distribution agreement which lets my software be distributed through GeForce now and quote "Valve operated cloud gaming services". So I assume this is something they are at least considering.
Completely fair, syntax is something that resonate differently from person to person. I love the idea of Rust, it’s speed, capabilities, it’s politics and it’s independence, but I cannot stand it’s syntax.

That’s fine, I can use other languages and it doesn’t take anything away from Rust or the people who love the syntax.
Specifically Google Marketed it as a full priced full featured platform with a pitiful initial catalogue of a couple games (namely Destiny). They also went completely dark for periods of months here and there, typically around the winter holidays, which frustrated what initial users they did get.

All observations about the use of the term “abnormal” aside, I agree the idea of specifically isolating the hormone variable by using groups of people who naturally fit that range and groups of people that use medication to mirror that range would at least indicate whether this classifier is picking up on sexual dimorphism or vascular effects from hormonal differences (which also would potentially impact not only transgender people, but intersex people — who make up around 3% of the population)
