I already pay almost $20 per day for public transportation. Of course I would switch to robotaxis for $8.50/h. Door to door, guaranteed seat, privacy, isolation from body odors & food smells, noise, loud phone conversations, screaming kids, gossiping seniors, beggars, crazies, drunks, street musicians, touching arms & thighs, ads (maybe), conductors, jehovah's witnesses, campaigners and promoters. No more waiting in wet, windy or freezing weather conditions. Hello to custom schedules (also during the night), sleep, reading time, focus, freedom! Seriously, cant' wait.
Would you contend that the article was badly written? On what grounds?
Yeah I always have all images disabled by default and turn them on on a per email basis if it's absolutely necessary. 90% of emails don't need them or just contain tracking pixels.

Aside from Facebook and my own onion services, that has been my experience with all onion domains somehow. Since my own onion services work (from unrelated networks and no special config), I'm pretty sure it's on the hosters' end. Quite frustrating; I'd love to use this more but it doesn't seem like people can get this stuff together.
I absolutely love this idea. I find that nudges or 'speedbumps' offer just enough of a barrier to get me to reconsider my own actions, sort of snapping me out of a trance. I would welcome these kind of changes.

If Patricia Churchland doesn't have a problem with the paper despite it being philosophical, then that's probably because she is a philosopher. An eliminative materialist, to be precise.

Personally, from reading the abstract, I disagree with the hypothesis. There's a trick where anything (even say, a database lookup) looks like optimization as long as you contrive the objective function just right, but that's kind of uninformative.
Epic literally did this with Fortnite on Android, one of the largest mobile games in existence - they taught users how to download the APK and sideload the app to avoid the Google Play store.

Ask HN: What to learn as a back end developer
My employer is offering us to do some java certification or other learnings during the work hours. I will definitely take up this offer but I was thinking is getting java certificate even worth it?
The employer is not demanding that I do java learnings I can chose some other stuff aswell if I want to.

I am turning to you guys to recommend me anything intersetng that could be useful for my career and my employer

I am interested in devops, backend engineering, blockchain, opensource etc...
A scientist is meant to be curious. Saying you fully understand something is the opposite.

I used to take a more active interest in that scene, some years ago. I had dabbled with well known substances over the years but had always been fascinated by the reports of novel or unusual substances on erowid, and resources like Tihkal and Pihkal.

So to me the sudden easy availability of (say) variations on the MDMA molecule to skirt past the UK misuse of drugs act (at the time) that resulted in the aminopropylbenzofuran family were an amazing thing, a little because of the legal status but mainly because it was appealing in itself. I wouldn't know where to find MDA, or MDEA or such things, but suddenly APB, MAPB, EAPB and other variants were there. I was able to try some of the novel tryptamines that came out of that without having the in-depth illicit-chemist hookups usually needed to source these things, even a novel lysergamide or two.

You're right to be concerned about the novel benzos, and also the novel cannabinoids, IMHO.
Your comment entirely misses the point of the article, and your frustration is completely backwards.

The current situation is that Facebook is not limited in their use of patterns that increase your engagement. The author of the comment is proposing some extensions to iOS that mean that Facebook is able to use patterns that increase your engagement, but you're also able to turn it off.

From your perspective of wanting more control over your devices, isn't this a win? It isn't injecting javascript into a running webapp with an extension that monkeypatches it. But you gave that up by using a native app on iOS. It gets you back a huge amount of control. If you want more, there's LineageOS (self compile it with patched source code by using robotnix) and PinePhone. The jump from trusted to trustless is a big one now but it's not insurmountable.

According to this study it could be a long time before we know that - I think cov-19 in the presence of a non overwhelmed medical system armed with steroids and oxygen kills less than 2/100 infected folk so getting enough incidents in either of those arms of a trial is going to be hard work.

> We mitigate this by having an on-call rotation where developers take turns handling the deployment + operations + support responsibilities

Sorry, but no. All the reasons that exist for developers doing on-call rotation are reasonable, yes, I admit that, but my reason to not do on-call rotation is also reasonable: I do not want to give my employer more than 40h/week. I just do not want more money in exchange for my free time. If your company doesn't provide that, then "alright, thank you" and I will keep looking. Now, if all companies start to require (paid) on-call rotation for developers: that would be a very sad tech scenario (at least for people like me).
But then they forced you to rent that feature, spooky

"If we just changed the rules and the public didn't change, imagine what would happen. Also, note that people with political causes invest enormous resources in manipulating public opinion."

You cannot in fact change the rules if there hasn't been a shift in the public so this seems a rather moot point. I'm not arguing that you shouldn't invest in PR and education on these issues but muzzling the opposition just gives the next rulers in charge an already existing muzzle to use back on yourself.

There is a history of often murderous suppression of "radical" groups in the US and by and far the majority of these were socialists, environmentalists, and marginalised people.

The current fake appeasement to these demographics is just that - a mirage. They're willing to ban Trump from the internet but not raise the minimum wage, abolish the drug war, really come after companies for their industrial scale damaging of ecology or cease trade relations with countries like China, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.

Excuse me for not taking this current "wokeness" fetishization by fundamentally hierarchical power structures entirely as good faith.

It's also not clear to me at all that "speech plays the largest role". Of course, existing power structures want you to believe that because the thing they fear the most of all is armed and genuinely effective resistance and it also helps perpetuate the illusion of a free and democratic society as if all it took to conquer racism and imperialism was to have a sit down and chat - with the hidden assumption that prior exploited people were just too stupid to consider this before - but MLK and Ghandai would have gone nowhere if there weren't decades of riots and militant struggle preceding them that pushed the US and British governments to enter negotiations with these parties.
At least stocks/companies have a balance sheet with real assets. Even if the whole company shut down (and wasn’t bankrupt) investors would still get at least some of their money back after liquidation.

Batched notifications: I'd love this. As it currently stands, most of my apps have lost permission to notify because they abuse it. I don't want to be constantly prodded and poked to interact, so there's very few that get it enabled now. That even includes email, and it's so much better. It's reduced screen time massively, and I mostly check email on desktop instead now with my phone as a secondary on-the-go way of communicating.

Turning off autoplay, yes please. Greyscale, interesting idea. The rest of it, meh. I'm not so sure it would have any meaningful impact or that it wouldn't be replaced with other much darker patterns.

Better user-centric control of notifications is what we really need to silence the cry for attention by the apps and would go a long way towards allieviating digital addiction in my opinion.
> If anyone knows where the "I'm happy to control things myself" setting is in Teams, please share.

It's the X button in the top right corner.

In the olden days we had individual developers who would work out the internal API these applications used to work. I wonder if that's still theoretically possible. Surely it must be? Even if the client app needs a signed certificate, since it runs in an unsigned environment (i.e. Linux) it should be possible to grab the certificate and present that when you need it.
It's more nuanced to me then "the hardware is there". Because by that reasoning you should be able to take any empty airline seat for $ 5 since the flight is already going and will only use 0.00something extra fuel with you in the seat. And yet airline pricing is a big data science project at each of them.

If VW spends 700 million on making self driving they want to get more then that back. They can do so by charging everyone 10k more for the car, but it would make the car expensive and decrease sales volume requiring an even higher price. Or they can come up with some other model where users with less budget pay less while those that can afford it pay more. In that case you need to make it so that those that pay more get more benefits, and their idea for that is charging by hours of usage.

I'm not sure I'm happy with that as a customer, but the model isn't crazy.
Sideline: face recognition based assassination.
I'd like to know the disability rate, which seems much higher than the death rate.
Update disabling is still there - gated behind more expensive editions and enterprise policy settings, because Microsoft likely had gotten a bad reputation in the past for systems with updates disabled becoming botnet nodes due to vulnerabilities.

In a way, the restrictions which used to be exclusive to Home are now part of Pro, the more expensive Pro for Workstations is what Pro used to be and Enterprise (also available through a per-user subscription model instead of a per-machine model, cheaper in a way for individuals with 5 PCs nobody else uses) also has some extra toggles not removed.

I think the subscription versions also include an Intune license which is the only supported way (other than installing third-party AV) to disable Windows Defender permanently, as well.

Now, MDM-managed Apple phones still come with a number of core restrictions, though I believe there's more loose side loading on there - however you have to register Apple hardware into MDM at purchase time as only authorized resellers can grant this access to a serial number.
The paper^[1] discusses metagenomic information that suggests the results are not the subject of contamination:

Offline first is a majors selection criteria for me.

First, it's just faster. Offline apps are an order of magnitude faster and the speed is stable.

Secondly, data is way easier to backup. I don't trust any provider with important data. Your account can be banned, or you could be locked out. There are outage, data corruption, human errors from people you share data with...

Then there is the no internet part. Internet at home can go off for many reasons, you may be abroad, in a plane, in a tunnel, in the country side. Or internet could be slow, unreliable, behind an agressive proxy, etc.

That's why i use thunderbird and not a web mail, dynalist and not the competition, mp3 and not spotify... That's why i keep osmand next to waze and torrents next to netflix.

Last week internet went down in accounting. They took the day off, because they used office 365. Great for them, not so much for the work to be done.
That's a bit besides OP's point though, which is about vacuous claims. Humans are the existence proof that there is some sequence of circumstances where evolution reaches GI. There's an analogous sequence of circumstances in the RL case, which happens to be the hard part.
Of course they do do that.

Ah it's gone up a bit since I last looked, and you have to hunt around but the base cost seems to be $129:

https://www.ssl.com/certificates/code-signing/buy/

That's a yearly cost, but you only need to keep renewing if you are signing and releasing new apps or updates. Existing apps you've signed will remain valid if if you don't renew your cert (unlike websites etc.)

Also, it seems that the LARGE cost for the EV certs is only really needed for things like Windows drivers.
Isn't the explanation on the linked video all wrong? Stretching the signal doesn't lose any information, and it doesn't make the waveform look more like sine wave.

I would prefer to keep the samples as clean as possible so that they can be utilized in different contexts, but I can see the value of degrading the quality of final mix. If there is an artifact in one sample, it will be repeated in each played note and it becomes noticeable and distracting to listeners.

Thanks for submitting the sample collections. I'm browsing through it and there's lot of useful stuff there.
In Switzerland there are areas that are pretty much inaccessible unless you use the car-trains. Very convenient.
I like Svelte a lot but haven't dived in deep yet. I'm currently waiting for SvelteKit to reach 1.0. What does your general setup look like for something relatively large and complex?
It's not really that hard to explain. Although you need to know the basics of quantum mechanics. Like super position and entanglement. After that, it shouldnt be that hard to understand. Ofcourse, when they ask "what can it do?" and you have to say "nothing except generating random numbers", i'd be a bit confused also. but yeah, that's reality of it.
Any jokes in there about grandpa-aged men and underage girls?
Spanish is the way to go: the most spoken language in the world among the ones spoke in EU, very simple to learn for many countries in EU, quite regular, very spoken in the US.

Reluctantly he coughed up the $8.50. The car then said, "I'm sorry Dave, Seatbelt yearly subscription is also expired. Please pay VW $200 to re-enable, or press the cancel button to drive without a seatbelt.

Link wouldn't hurt.
This seems a bit short sighted to me at least for the foreseeable future, because the data aquired while self driving will also be valuable. So it would make sense to encourage drivers to use the feature as much as possible, in order to improve accuracy and stay ahead of tightened regulations that will surely come over time. (E.g. disengagements per km).
Confusion about the word bootstrapping. I read "bootstrapping trust" as regaining trust based solely on SMS.

But indeed, sms as a second factor is much easier to recover in catastrophic situations than some other second factors. That is a fair point, and an advantage of sms over other common second factors.
I've been trying to wrap my head around this for about a year now. The two things that tripped me up the most were that there is not 1 calculation, and that it's not parallel.

The way I understand it now, is based on the double slit experiment. If you want to know the outcome of the "double spilt operator", you need to run it many times.
The outcome of the calculation, is the combination of all the runs. The way to visualize is to think of the waves passing through.

QC itself is nothing more than chaining different operators, that influence how waves interact.
Interesting move. But what if you like driving? Being in control and all is just part of it - at least if you're not commuting every day...

If I plug a non supported device on my macbook, the screen doesn't go all scrambly.

And even so, how can you say it works 99% of the time if you have to go and research each piece of peripheral that you want to use? Normal users go to bestbuy or amazon or whatnot and buy a microphone, they don't want to go and see if it works on ubuntu or whatnot or have weird behaviours at home. you can blame manufacturs for not supporting linux while they support win/mac, but again, normal users experience just isn't that great.

You said you are running linux for you and your relatives. Who installed it on your relatives machines? Who checked the compatibility of each hardware and maybe even bought some replacement things to work on linux? I know most users/relative I know wouldn't go to websites to try to find out if this or that works well with this and that. They just want to go to a shop, buy a laptop+accessories and plug them in when they get home
Sure, but the possibility was there. I was given a ZX Spectrum clone and started coding, my brother only played games. I am not sure I would work in IT if that didn't happen.
We were pretty much poor by today's standards and probably could not afford another such device, never mind that we would not know what to buy (as nobody in my family had any IT experience and there was no IT shop in our small town).
"what matters is that it costs $1 now, it'll cost roughly $1 a year from now and in the interim, it'll still also cost $1. Predictability and consistency is a critical aspect of currency."

And that is not the case, in general.

But it's not like they take old spacecraft sterilized with these solutions, bring them back, and try the liquid again?

Yes, I'm sure there is some kind of selection, but it should be more of a one-shot affair, not a continous cycle, like how it with anti-biotics and resistant strains.
How is that the same?

It's as if you bought your house, but had one room walled off with the developer saying "for only $100 a month, we will open that room up for you! isn't that great? you only pay for it if you need the extra space!"

Except that obviously the room is there whether you pay the subscription or not, you paid for it in the cost of the house.
The former approach was release + upgrade all projects. Now if one of those fails post-update you have to build a new release and upgrade all projects _again_. Multiply that by hundreds of services and it can become pretty annoying.

By pulling all the reverse dependencies and testing those _before_ releasing & upgrading you reduce the chance that you need another bugfix release.

And with hundreds of projects the average quality of tests does not matter that much. Some projects will happily pass, while some may fail. Those that fail will provide valuable insights.
Stories like reddit are why I keep telling our executive staff that I am completely against a buyout. We have one angel investor and all the control we could ever hope for. Our customers love us.
