There's a quote in a Michael Crichton novel (The Lost World) that seems relevant here. As part of a rant connecting the idea of the internet and evolution, a character opines:

"This idea that the whole world is wired together is mass death. Every biologist knows that small groups in isolation evolve fastest. You put a thousand birds on an ocean island and they'll evolve very fast. You put ten thousand on a big continent, and their evolution slows down. Now, for our own species, evolution occurs mostly through our behaviour. We innovate new behaviour to adapt. And everybody on earth knows that innovation only occurs in small groups. Put three people on a committee and they may get something done. Ten people, and it gets harder. Thirty people, and nothing happens. Thirty million, it becomes impossible. That's the effect of mass media - it keeps anything from happening. Mass media swamps diversity. It makes every place the same. Bangkok or Tokyo or London: there's a McDonald's on one corner, a Benetton on another, a Gap across the street. Regional differences vanish. All differences vanish. In a mass-media world, there's less of everything except the top ten books, records, movies, ideas. People worry about losing species diversity in the rain forest. But what about intellectual diversity - our most necessary resource? That's disappearing faster than trees. But we haven't figured that out, so now we're planning to put five billion people together in cyberspace. And it'll freeze the entire species. Everything will stop dead in its tracks. Everyone will think the same thing at the same time. Global uniformity."

This is false. They've denied putting people at risk, but there's decent evidence that their leaks have directly shared pii and harmed large numbers of random unimportant people.

I think the issue is that modern interfaces are self-centered. Or rather, the designers are self-centered: they believe that the world revolves around them, and Their Magnificent Design is the One Thing that everyone will want to learn, appreciate and admire.

In reality, their design is one more thing among the hundreds or thousands of things that a user manages, and should mostly serve to get other things done.

It's more about hubris than minimalism.

I'm not sure how it's politically inconvenient for me when I'm a registered Pacific Green.

>"Did the people in the Soviet Union think that the smuggled media was propaganda"

I was born in the USSR. No we did not think that the media was propaganda. At least most of the people I knew. And USSR's own propaganda was so cheesy that it was not believable to normal people. My parents were scientists and I also studied in university and had become scientist myself. So my experience might be somewhat not all encompassing because of the environment.

What I do find now is that the amount of corporate, media and government propaganda in the west is insane and is as cheesy as the one of former USSR.

Also the amount of venom and paranoia in this thread is depressing.
I’ve read that build quality in Japan is significantly lower due to the depreciating nature of houses as an asset and the bias toward building new.
Uninstalling didn't seem to work for me after reboot. If that doesn't work for you, try disabling it:

1. Install your new launcher through play store. (I used the Basic Launcher as well).

2. Settings -> Device Preferences -> About. Scroll to "Build" and click on it until it pops up that you are a developer (it will give you a countdown)

3. Settings -> Device Preferences -> Developer options (this was just unlocked in step 2) -> Network debugging (this will let you use adb)

4. Install adb (platform tools) on your computer.

5. adb connect <ip address of your shield>

6. adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.tvlauncher

7. adb shell reboot

Should find yourself in the launcher you installed
Note, I also stopped the google launcher (cleared data/reset defaults)/tested the new launcher in the middle. So if these steps don't seem to work, before doing step 5 try doing those and then retry.

A bit more general and off topic, I'm recently growing tired of updates in general; both on my phone and on my desktop.

Has anyone been able to create a productive and safe environment where updates don't happen that often or don't affect their UX? I'd be interested to hear about such experiences.
You've already been provided and discarded more than minimal evidence.

For example, in the muller report, a more extensive investigation, the specific hacking unit is identified. Whether or not crowdstrike knew in 2017 doesn't matter. Today we know APT-28 was responsible, and they're members of the GRU.
Seems like a pretty strong case for a Pihole setup.

Short of network level fixes or loader swapping, is the best solution a dumb (disconnected TV) and a STB like AppleTV or Roku?
For me, the Rocketbook line of notebooks gives me the best of both worlds. I write/draw in the notebook, then I can scan the pages with the app, and the images land in my Google Drive (configurable). Then when the notebook is full I wash the pages and it's ready to start over.
Is there evidence that this is actually the case? Otherwise, this seems like there is no way for the stats to contradict a desired story:

If the numbers go up, it's a sign that crime is increasing. If the numbers go down, it's merely a sign that people have lost their faith in enforcement because of the overwhelming nature of the crime.

> After spending much time filing reports with police, people realize that they are wasting their time, and they stop filing reports.

People file reports for reasons beyond just expecting enforcement. For example: insurance companies often require a police report before they'll accept a claim for theft.
I would refer you to the political theory of John Locke, et al., in particular the consent of the governed.

Additionally, see the UN Human Rights declaration for the most modern (as far as I am aware) descendant of that political theory.

UN Human Rights declaration has as its immediate political theory ancestor the US Declaration of Independence.
The ‘succinct’ part of the acronym means that the data is not stored in the proof.
Previously, I bought Pixel devices with confidence in Google's stewardship and taste. Now that Google has injected ads into a $200 device I bought a year ago, I can only assume that all Google products will eventually have ads. Why would I ever buy another pixel phone? $699+ for a phone that will some day have ads on its home screen? No thanks.
You got paid to do the work presumably. You might also be able to push back on it. Coding standards should be a thing just about anywhere competent.

In short, there are choices besides, “I alone have to do all the hard work.”
Not the OP, just a comment.

My 1990s experience says that a lot of people are casually racist, sometimes viciously so, but, at the same time, they are perfectly willing to engage in mutual commerce and other activites with the outgroup, as long as they gain something from it. If this hypocritical kind of racism dominates, the outgroup has a chance to establish itself through education and trade.

The "Kauft nicht bei den Juden" or KKK-like kind of racism that really strives to isolate and possibly exterminate the outgroup even at a financial or practical cost to the dominant group is rarer and if it prevails, it leads to really bad consequences.
> notifications galore

This is so annoying. The bell has a number on it and you think "Oh, somebody answered me or sent a DM" ... but no. Some post is trending on XY sub.

I think Reddit doesn't realize how much they lose in the longterm from hollow 'engagement'.
i know Intel and AMD like to hide hardware features - but given the design cost and the non-negligible overhead..one would suppose that they would at least surface a counter in the documentation..and probably even...you know, market it as a feature.
Wall scale would have to be reduced around 10% less for visibility check on the server-side, so that player view info would be sent without RTT problems especially for the cases you mention.
This is silly. We know why: the wing pushes air down and as Newton taught us, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. To push air down the wing must be feeling a force up on it, which causes lift.

You can also see the same thing with a helicopter flying over water: the water is affected in a circular region fairly close to the rotor itself, indicating that there is a large downward force being exerted on the air and a corresponding upward force being exerted on the rotor.
Suck dick, idiot.
No, it's HTML. (Source: entirely too much familiarity with that heap of garbage.)
There was another article about another PayPal mafioso doing the same thing, Max Levchin, in Forbes back in 2012…

https://www.forbes.com/sites/deborahljacobs/2012/03/20/how-f...

It says the following:

“Tax rules bar you from investing your IRA or Roth IRA in a business you control—such a “prohibited transaction” can render the IRA immediately taxable and ­possibly subject to penalties.”

Thiel and levchin, and probably many many others have certainly skirted the spirit of the Roth IRA.
It's an ego-vehicle for billionaires; a bauble to show off. HN isn't really a business or a public service. It's a rich man's hobby spun-off, and its only purpose and governance is to make him happy enough to continue to bother.

It's an aging salon, and reflects the product of the current mood and amount of attention given by its host.
From what I've seen, it's mostly not based on time in big US tech companies for salaried full-timers. Nobody cares if you put 20, 40 or 60 honest hours a week into a project. Ultimately, visibility and impact of your work is what matters, usually in comparison to your peers. If you get same impact working half the time than the person next to you, more glory to you. (Just don't let your manager directly or indirectly know that you're idling, that's essentially asking for more work - so don't complain if they oblige)
I run Eureka Surveys and we have summer Fridays (off at 1 PM on Friday) year-round!
"Scroll to "Build" and click on it until it pops up that you are a developer"

More bullshit. Google is king of shitty UI.
No idea about the CPUs.
No more Nvidia shield recommendations, that's for sure.

The execs who made this decision should be punished. They won't be. But I think this has convinced me to move my mail and give up on Google.
I thought the latter CFFA charge is what helps to enable to former? IANAL though so I could easily be wrong about this.

Basically helping to break into the computer system moves you out of the realm of journalist and into the realm of political enemy which now makes you vulnerable to espionage.

I think there isn’t much case law around this stuff though.
If you buy a product from a company where their revenue comes primarily comes from ads, you should expect to see ads on their product.

So common thought is that a tether collapse will tank Bitcoin but won’t it also cause a sudden flood to safety (BTC/ETH) if the money is hot or at least somewhat so it seems like the owner couldn’t just Cash out
This is actually one of the more troubling aspects of Reddit's decline IMO. The user-funded model WORKED but so much tracking data was getting left behind that someone chose to make the switch.
I work at a larger SF based company (1000+ engineers). I was full-time up until recently, and switched to hourly contracting work. I typically bill between 10 and 20 hrs a week.

The really surprising thing for me was how willing my company was to accommodate me once I made it clear I wanted to reduce hours - I think people have a lot more negotiation power than they think they do
That is indeed quite some bloat. I suppose it makes sense for use cases where domain name related metadata is needed across the internet infrastructure (like for email with SPF). Just not sure it's a good idea to extend DNS for data like contact info that is ultimately meant for human consumption. Where do we draw the line otherwise? I could start caching web artefacts in TXT records or even serve entire web pages.
Maybe, but in most situations you're probably better off adding some more developer time to work on software bugs than you are doubling your computation cost.
My SO just finished a term project that used Xamarin.Forms. Conceptually the framework is perfect then you actually use it and want to off yourself. MAUI, if taken seriously and isn't only a rebrand, could be quite an accomplishment and a great tool.
That's a long way to say construction is already optimized for our current level of technology.
To avoid the near-clickbait, they found it's 50% water, possibly saltwater and ice. It has a small amount of oxygen. No evidence of life yet. It has a magnetic field (older news), possibly because of tidal heating.
Yes but the CRISPR engine is passed on to offspring which raises massive ethical questions.

As I understand it (and hopefully I'm not way off base here) there is a technique that creates a "gene drive" which is kinda like an SDK that is inserted into the patients genome which improves the efficacy of CRISPR.

This code finds its way into the gametes which is then passed on to children. The children did not ask for this SDK, but now they have it and it potentially becomes immortal in human DNA.

On the one hand, cool: the SDK is there and possibly makes it even easier to alter DNA>

On the other hand, holy shit: there's a ticking timebomb in the populations DNA now.

It's called CRISPR-cas9:

Ask HN: How do you run long computations without interruption?
Recently I started messing around with numpy trying to write a government simulator to analyze the influence of government institution structure on the frequency of laws being passed (i.e., how liberal or conservative a government's outcomes are across similar populations) and I found the simulations to take a really long time to run (probably because the code is badly optimized).

When I spent ten minutes waiting for completion only to see a completely faulty result I started wondering how most scientists and data programmers run long simulations without interruptions or disappointing results. I assume one simple thing I should have done was run a shorter simulation to see if the code was working, but I also started thinking about how I could run a really long simulation without having to worry about the simulation being scrapped after a lot of computation, either because of a runtime error or just a power outage or something.

I know there are cloud services to run expensive computations, but really my question is: are there industry tools or techniques for pause/resume execution of code and simulations? I can't imagine anyone running a simulation for more than ten minutes in a Jupyter cell.
Not a strictly new technology but an improvement on existing concepts. This is building an artificial non-linear optic using a metamaterial to make it more compact. It works by frequency shifting the incoming infrared into the visible light spectrum without otherwise altering it. Of course it's just a proof of concept metamaterial so there's a bunch of practical limitations that will need to be overcome with engineering before it's ready for prime time.

I can understand that some people may disagree with and/or not understand what she said, it is both unkind and not helpful to say "Now that's just nuts."

Let's go see some figures!

"Empirical Study of Power Consumption of x86-64 Instruction Decoder"

https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/cooldc16/cool...

From the conclusion:

"The result demonstrates that the decoders consume between 3% and 10% of the total processor package power in our benchmarks. The power consumed by the decoders is small compared with other components such as the L2 cache, which consumed 22% of package power in benchmark #1. We conclude that switching to a different instruction set would save only a small amount of power since the instruction decoder cannot be eliminated completely in modern processors."
Reddit should just launch a coin, buy back the shares from investors and stop doing these shady things. 90% of the coins on the 100 marketcap are shitcoins and are still worth billions. Reddit with its massive userbase can easily make it to the top 100.
I was that user as a kid.
I think a big part of it was that it was seeded (and continues to be watered with) people who are looking for funding and/or people whose hopes are already dependent on YC and other sources of financing. People have to behave well, or there are consequences far beyond the forum.
If you wanna go around arguing the Earth is flat, you need to have something more persuasive than 'do the research.' Not that you personally believe in a flat earth, but it's a good example of why we shouldn't treat epistemological uncertainty as the starting point; there is so much evidence for Earth being round and so little offered in favor of it being flat that its roundness should be treated as a fact unless extraordinary new evidence to the contrary is produced. If someone comes along insisting on its flatness without overcoming that bar, then it's OK to treat them as either a fool or a troll and reject their opinions.
Stand corrected:
https://coinmarketcap.com/

"The total crypto market volume over the last 24 hours is $85.97B, which makes a 6.53% decrease. The total volume in DeFi is currently $5.78B, 6.73% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume. The volume of all stable coins is now $69.59B, which is 80.95% of the total crypto market 24-hour volume."

The other large stablecoins are trading <$2B/day vs tether, so indeed you're correct.

As for Apple, sure it would slam the market temporarily, but why wouldn't it quickly recover?

What bothers me about OF is that it has turned authentic communities into billboards. "Why are you entitled to free porn?" OFs defenders will ask as they completely miss the point of the communities they have hijacked.

As the saying goes: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
There are two (good) ways I know how to wrangle ownership of information: where, or when. But in all of the sane systems I know, at the end of the day it’s really all “when”.

If there is no “where” for state alterations and they can happen any time, then you are in full global shared stage anarchy mode, which some people seem to be perfectly fine with.

If the system of record is the source of authority then “when” is at write time, regardless of who does the write.

If you know when the data was last altered, you can reason about every interaction that happens “after” because what you see is what you get.

The smartest thing about Angular was that there was a layer of the code - the services - that was expected to do all state transformations on data from the server. Anything in your app was “after” so you could trace the interactions by reading the code.

Plus, it was easier to convince the REST endpoint to do the tranforms for you because you had a contiguous block of working code that explained the difference between what you got and what you wanted. A few sniffs at the data to determine if the modifications had already been made was all the migration strategy you needed. If the transform was cacheable upstream, or found its way into the database, the more’s the better.

The upshot is that if you don’t know a priori what information a unit of work requires, then you don’t have an information architecture. And if you don’t solve that problem then you’re going to fall into a concurrency tarpit that often gets called Cache Invalidation Hell, but that’s just the dominant symptom.
Nuclear batteries removing the need for electrical wiring seems very pie in the sky to me but perhaps I'm just ignorant of the practical application of it.

Concrete seems far more common in residential construction outside of the U.S. I wonder if technologies such as aircrete (concrete with uniform foam produced air bubbles).

Also well There's Your Problem had an interesting article about the 5-1 construction that is used for a lot of new apartment buildings in the U.S. https://wtyppod.podbean.com/e/episode-46-five-over-ones/
From what I've seen in residential Tokyo, houses are usually one offs built when the owner buys the land. And look, at least superficially, to be similar construction methods to American construction rather than European: i.e. wood framing as opposed to masonry/concrete.

Maybe some of it is prefab, but given the narrowness of roads, I wonder.
