Ted Nelson, "Computer Lib / Dream Machines", OCLC 03073731, 69 pages according to a library record that I found, though I would have guessed it had somewhat more than that. Amazing book that introduced the word "hypertext" among other things. I read it in high school and it was one of the influences making me still a computer geek N years later.
My first reaction was to strongly disagree on advising a newbie to start with that period, but you are right to say that period will be the most "unique", even to modern ears.

His 50's-60's work was genius, but is still an easily accessible language, even to non-jazz folks. His later output, by contrast, is a language that was never quite-this or quite-that. It never popularized, and will seem rather bizarre to most people even today.

How to Boost Self Esteem and Stop Procrastinating
I made a little joke project a while back called "Keytarnetes" which used a MIDI controller (in this case a keytar from a Guitar Hero set) to run various actions against a Kubernetes cluster when you pressed the keys. It was really simple to hack together in a night using the mido python library. I basically just had a folder with shell scripts named after the notes and a process that polled for new keypresses and executed the script with the same name when that note that was pressed on the keytar. Maybe something like that could work for you?
I live in the Midwest. I am a teacher. My wife is a social worker. I hear this fear about being charged Or having your kids taken by CPS because you let them walk alone to the grocery store or something, but I’ve literally never heard of it happening. I even have known a couple CPS workers in the past. The stuff they deal with day to day is wildly more intense than what people are suggesting here. My
instinct is that it’s a straw man, but clue me in. How common could this possibly be?
Miles became an ornery old man in the 1980s. Most of his angry statements (sure, some are about race, others are about all kinds of things he didn’t like for whatever reason) that became grist for quoting came generally when the quality of his work itself had already begun to decline significantly, in the view of most critics and jazz historians. For me, this doesn't “taint his legacy” as much as give me one more reason for ignoring his last decade, while still enjoying greatly the recordings generally regarded as classics.
What's a normal life? I've seen the chicken scene, and I've killed a chicken with my bare hands. I've clubbed a fish and cleaned it. I'm not afraid of where my food comes from. Chickens don't have hope, and I don't project that feeling onto them, just like I don't with microorganisms. Why do you think what you're saying is negative? If this trend tends to infinity we raise chickens instantly and vaporize them into cooked chicken in a blink of an eye.
You've fallen for the myth!

The issue isn't that protein isn't needed - it is of course; it's that you need to combine certain foods together in the same meal to get a complete protein. Check the sources you've listed in the link. The first doesn't mention it, the second says:

> It was once thought that vegetarians and vegans needed to combine plant foods at each meal to ensure they consumed complete proteins (for example, baked beans on toast). Recent research has found this is not the case.

The third is a flickr image so that's irrelevant.
I opened the article and saw an aging muscleman with a prop straight out of The Lawnmower Man on his head. I thought, this is going to be the most Silicon Valley thing I've ever seen on Hackernews. (Whether you're talking about the place or the TV show.)

> But at the end of the visit, I happened to mention the time I underwent a mental healing ritual that involved a Chilean shaman burning holes in my arm and pouring poisonous frog secretions into the wounds. (I do mention this a lot.) Excited, Johnson replied that he had a personal shaman in Mexico and doctors in California who guided him on drug-induced mind journeys. Based on this common ground, he decided to tell me more about Kernel’s work and his own adventurous health practices.

Wellp, suspicions confirmed.

This guy FUCKS!
> The penniless American will keep their phone for longer than the average 2 years.

Sure but they’re not the majority. This article from forbes (a bit old now) was enlightening. But note that those running their phones into the ground aren’t too far behind those upgrading as soon as they can.

Thank you, this is what I was trying to suggest. That these localized governments, while loyal to their empires, operated fairly independently (which should be fairly obvious for similar reasons to space. Which travel times are actually similar). Hopefully your comment has helped clear some confusion up.
" I think consumers need to take more personal responsibility in what kind of practices their wallets are supporting"

Ok. So, has the market gotten to the point that even in small towns, people can choose more humane meat? They have "free range eggs", and I pay for, basically, "free range plus", but these aren't really humane, only better: Are there other commonly available options? (Im personally pescetarian leaning heavily into vegetarian: I don't know about meat options available)

I don't think everyone is going to go vegan (it is hard to balance the nutrition) and even vegetarian isn't going to be everywhere if there is a culture of meat-eating, so the best thing we can do is less* meat, and the meat we have is humane.

But we are back at the beginning: There is realistically no way to speak with your wallet since a lot of places simply have no choice - and no way to verify claims (they might be as misleading as free range eggs).

This pretty much put us at the point where if you are moneyed enough, you can source it: Everyone else has to hope that government changes rules enough so that everyone can choose humanely produced meat.
Can't we just look at history and conclude that we are "just like the Germans"? Why do we need to shroud it in pseudo-science?
Core apps need to be there. Think Phone.
Fair, but just remember that the purpose of a filter (in this context) is to keep particulate matter out of the evaporator to protect it from damage. Since cleaner air is just a side-effect of that protective effect, I would agree that there’s probably better ways to clean air if that’s really your goal.

It’s kind of like how (traditional) circuit breakers are designed to protect the premises wiring from catching fire when too much current passes through them. They could care less if you get electrocuted or you overload a higher-gauge extension cord (GFCI and arc-fault are another story though).
You can listen to all the radio frequencies at once, from low AM ones up to dozens of GHz using inexpensive radio components - it's how bug hunters you see in movies work, they just measure electromagnetic waves, regardless of their wave length.

Granted, you'll not be able to differentiate between them, only that they exists. And at this point of searching for those signatures that's all you need though. Also Marconi was listening to lightning strikes generating radio waves using his radio, and that was over a century ago. Lightning strike generates radio waves all over the spectrum, so we had this capability right from beginning.

Apple Using Akamai, Fastly, Cloudflare for Their New iCloud Private Relay
I agree it's annoying the onus for opt-out is put onto the generally unaware public. I've been contemplating a project that would "poison the well" as it were. Users could submit a MAC address and SSID to a service allowing other users to broadcast this information to make SSID collection much less useful. The downside to this idea is that it would be easy-ish to filter out the noise if individuals had a constant SSID for their own use.

Perhaps the better way to handle it would have devices rotate SSID's and/or passwords and/or router MAC's on a regular basis. Like algorithmically have all devices compute the SSID on a daily basis (with a few hours dual-broadcasting SSID's to account for clock issues) based on a seed.
don't a lot of accounts get more reputation because they get banned? i've seen accounts literally have "banned at 75k followers" as a badge of honor
My wish: let me design my own instances. There are so many instance types and subtypes now, and comparing them is not straightforward (even with ec2instances.info).

The hardware can obviously be provisioned into all sorts of configs - that's got to be how these proliferated. Just give me the configurator and show me the price, please don't make me pick through all of these instances...
Ah that makes a bit more sense thank you for that info.

The docs/images they use make it look like an array but I just read the origin trial info page and it says ocument.interestCohort() only returns cluster id and algo version id.

still though the point stands i think. even say 1 million people in one cohort id # (they use 'thousands' to describe) + ip + UA and it's pretty unique, until apple and others proxying everything as recent posts suggest. Add whatever 8 bits or however many privacy allowance entropy and it's probably very unique and trackable over time if you have say TTD scale.

totally! it's very very confusing and I don't understand some (ok maybe a lot lol) of the RTB/context/retarget proposals and multiple RTB stakeholders have submitted their own too and they all have really stupid confusing names. But that's what I gather that it's basically the same result. It feels like the only way to do similar retargeting, conversion tracking is to have one 'trusted' source who gets all the data

Investment is up since the pandemic. It was going down beforehand.

Real wages are stagnating because that is how macro economics works. When everyone has a saving preference and only spends the bare minimum the economy is optimizing for "efficiency" while staying the same or shrinking. More efficiency primarily means squeezing out low wages out of workers. Given enough inflation there will be an decrease in the saving preference and the problem will resolve itself.
> Can you point to something good and useful in the Philosophie of Science?

Every scientist should be able to answer the particular tenets that they take on faith.

Scientists do take on faith that the universe is causal and that the rules today are the same as the rules yesterday.

Yes, scientists double check these assumptions over and over, but they can never "prove" them.

This kind of introspection is important for science to set itself apart from religion, for example.
Note that what the article says is "known as grawlix" isn't the asterisk but using symbols to replace letters when expurgating naughty words. So "$#!+" would be a grawlix, at least if it's a replacement for a word meaning excrement rather than a bit of Perl source code.
> At the very least, the loop based code could be cleaned up significantly.

Seems like the loop based code wasn't so bad after all...
You're right that these are the sorts of figures that influenced the decision. It's also worth remembering that there were high-ranking members of the Japanese military who questioned the logic of the war or ordered retreats from indefensible positions, but were often arrested, assassinated, or ordered to commit suicide. Any stance other than loud, defiant resistance proved dangerous within a military hierarchy dominated by extremists.

There is also some evidence that Japanese Army officers created a deliberate culture of extreme violence, ordering ordinary soldiers to commit atrocities, for example, as a way of ruling out surrender as an option. The soldiers would then assume that their treatment by the other side would be identical.

I don't object to the word "fanatic" out of some semantic pedantry or because it's derogatory per se, but I think it robs us of some consideration of the individuals in question, and the various strands of policy, training, propaganda, fear, group pressure, and nostalgic death-worshipping cultural narratives to which they were subjected. The result was certainly the perception of fanaticism, which was intended to demoralize the Allies but backfired terribly, like the decision to prosecute the war itself. (And, as you point out, produced an enormous wastage of lives for no real gain.)
I believe the goal here isn't to replace Vault, but offer a developer focused solution for environment variable management. While Vault can be used to store env variables, its more geared towards managing infra secrets for the ops/sre persona.

This had us rename our eBook about developing and running Spring Boot applications on AWS from the original working title "AWS 101" to "Stratospheric" (https://stratospheric.dev/ ), which in my opinion is a much better name, too.
Thanks, those are sad and ridiculous.
> They're "meant" to make food, either via eggs or meat, not to have a specific lifespan.

By this standard, there is no such thing as abusing a domesticated species. They're "meant to" satisfy human need X, and everything else is irrelevant.
I am with you in principle - but I still don't get the jq path/filter syntax I'm afraid. I think I'd vastly prefer map/reduce/zip commandlets...

Ed: I'd say from a quick glance that I think I rather prefer nushell to powershell
I doubt that. The Quest 2 is probably being sold at a tiny loss at launch, just like most gaming consoles are, and will at the end of its lifespan be sold at a small profit.

But where they're looking to make the money is from getting a cut from software sales, again just like consoles. Advertising is a garbage business compared to owning a popular software platform like that.

Let's do some back of the envelope calculations. Let's say you can show 10 ads per hour, the average VR user uses 30 minutes of VR per day, a CPM of $10, a 50% platform vs. app cut of ad revenue, and a device lifetime of 5 years. I think these are all generous estimates.

10 ads / hour * 0.5 hours / day * 365 days / year * $10 / 1000 ads * 50% * 5 years = $45.60 total ad revenue for the lifetime of the device.

They cannot be subsidizing this for $400 and expecting to make it up on ads. The numbers just don't add up. (But I don't think they're selling it for a multi-hundred dollar loss at all.)

On the other hand, in 9 months of using the device I've bought about $150 in software, with Facebook's cut probably being about $45. Except that is over 9 months, not 5 years. This is where the money is.
His legacy is not tainted in the slightest. He was angry at the treatment of blacks by white America, and never apologized for it.

In his professional life, he had life-long and career-defining relationships with white people (Teo Macero, Gil Evans, ...), and clearly did not let race stand in the way of great music.

Strange to say that Miles' fusion never popularized, because Bitches Brew sold well and sparked imitators (Herbie Hancock's fusion era, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Weather Report, Jaco Pastorious) that also sold well and sold out conventional concert venues. As the Wikipedia article for Bitches Brew notes, the album “was viewed by some writers in the 1970s as what spurred jazz's renewed popularity with mainstream audiences that decade.”
I really miss the print edition of ‘Modern Farmer’.
I'm not convinced that's true. The New World exists for exactly this reason. The British were not able to sustain a war half a globe away with the Americans. It is incredibly expensive (hell, even the French supporting the US took a big hit). All a Martian colony would need to do is play guerilla warfare and wait it out. There's plenty of history to suggest that this is an effective strategy.
The content being spread should not matter. Humans are not so perfect they’re never wrong. There was even an article recently about youtube removing content of MDs and PhDs doing research on COVID treatments. Yet they were removed for not fitting the mainstream ideas. So when you’re doing new research how do you discern the difference between misinformation and new information when you’re literally on the edge of what’s known? This implies the person doing the removal of content knows more than the SME. Do you see the problem? Not to mention historically it doesn’t work out well for those “burning books”
Its as easy as "KMGTPE"
"Monetizing stupid"

In NYC, over a million kids of all ages walk, skateboard, bike, kick-scooter, or take the bus and subway to school every day. Little kids as young as 10 take the subway alone to/from school. Well, really they travel in packs, but still. Even in the dangerous Big Apple, the number of serious accidents or criminal incidents while going to/from school is just a handful a year.

When I was young and growing up in the burbs, many kids walked or rode bikes to school. The roads were much more dangerous back then. Crime was much MUCH worse. No one batted an eye. I don't really understand some people's extreme risk aversion today.
ofubd8kc: Right, so straight and such superficial comparisons are wrong for this reason. Most of the glibc code isn't used for any given compilation. Similarly for systemd, most of the code is being compiled into binaries outside of systemd-init, for things like systemd-networkd. Whether or not systemd-networkd should just be a separate git repo is a good question, but it isn't really relevant. A similar question would be should glibc carry around support for these other systems?

Similarly, for systemd-init, the comparison should be, the other init system + all the code for the init scripts + all the code for all the utilities that are called inside the init scripts not counting the program being started. You should be looking at the system as a whole, not just a part of it.
Loop code has the same bug.
You get slammed for people not liking your response, but yet your point is spot on. The number of vegetarians has been pretty steady over the last decades in the US. Hoping people become all vegetarien isn't practical. If I was a dictator I'd ban meat eating, but I am not and that's good.

As always: it's not allowed to ask for better people! We need to create a system that makes the wrong people do the right thing.
Using your headset requires linking a Facebook profile (with your real info if you don't want to risk its deletion), and this will use information from it to target ads.

VR ads have a lot of invasive potential which I don't think people trust Facebook to stay away from. Ads on the dashboard, ads that stick to your vision, ads that pause when you take the headset off, ads you have to look at to proceed, etc. There's not much of a limit when it's Facebook's hardware on your head.
I saw that. If that hurts you as a white male (I am assuming that's what you are, like most of HN), then you just need to grow some thicker skin.

IMO racism against us hardly feels more than a little "prick" compared to what it does to minorities with a history of discriminations.

Unless of course you've bought into victim mentality.
We make pretty heavy use of Grobid at scite (https://scite.ai) to parse PDFs in order to extract and classify the citation contexts. A great piece of software and I think without it we would be hard pressed to do what we do.
I follow the idea that revealing the physical location is safe under a method like this. But how does the program tell the server which physical locations to grab? The knowledge of which locations are needed is inside the encryption.
This! If I had to choose between the two snippets I would have taken the loop based one without a second though, because of its simplicity.

Out of curiosity, how would the asymmetry be resolved? If founders have less fundraising experience, is there such a thing as founder school where they can rehearse pitches or do mock fundraising to be ready when the stakes are higher?
My first thought before reading the article was "speculative cryptocurrencies." She takes it a step further by using astrology to predict crypto markets. Amazing.
The thing is if a developer whose core task is not to be build these services can build it. Not just build it, build it robustly, I am guessing that threshold for people to start replicating your services is not that high. In that case, I would question whether is a product or a feature. Because the threshold to build something like this is low, your focus would be more on customer acquisition. You might even acquire alot of customer and tell me you have traction, but I would question what true value it really adds and then I would question long term viability of this company.

On a side note, I have lately started seeing various companies graduating from YC that make me question whether they are product or feature. Not sure what the strategy behind them is. Either they end up going on product hunt, get a decent upvotes and then kind of disappear or are in space that slowly starts seeing other people replicate that.

In devtool space, I have seen YC invest in companies that pretty much do the same thing. In my opinion, it is not fair for the operators of a startup if you have a backer that backs your competitor too as it dilutes your orgs value.

> What if someone just wants to come and see you and not debate the scientific merits of Damore's memo?

How about ignore it and not report it to the dean?

The observations made in Damore's memo are rather anodyne (and essentially correct). The folks making a scene about it are contributing to a hostile environment.
Hah, you make it sound as if the idea of exoskeletons was for altruist reasons. I think it very well can be a profit based decision. How much can a person lift, walk, etc in 8 hours a day?. With an Exo they could do it maybe 1.5 times faster, which would mean a 50% gain in performance. With a low enough price per Exo, it can make economic sense.
They are selling us the Brave New World
The topic is interesting but this smarmy "I'm so smart" style drives me up a wall. You consider yourself superior to people who believe in astrology, we get it. Focus on the point
Then I'm a little lost. I had thought a big part of this (your "Stitch anonymous data to users once they convert" picture and around it) was to be able to backtrack anonymous users once they identify themselves.

Even if they identify themselves via ordering something, is it an unusual workflow to share a link after? For example "I got this new coffee, I'm excited, here's the link to what I ordered my friend!"
You are both agreeing with each other.
What a mean and immature article. The "influencer" is stupid (and a psychopath apparently), everyone is stupid, well everyone except the author of the text.

It does read like someone very young wrote it, I guess the author is young enough to know everything.
