> I've come to the conclusion that this is the 21st century's "TV rots your brain." We've replaced channel surfing with doom scrolling.

The difference with the TV is that TV didn't have individual, high granularity demographic and usage data to conform to its users' most exploitable side that ultimately drives mindless "engagement". TV ratings had coarsely sampled data at household levels and whatever broadcast was what everyone saw.

> I can say that there's a fundamental human need to stare into space for a while. We could delete all technology tomorrow, and we wouldn't magically be less distracted.

You're right that mild distraction is conducive to insight generation and as such can be thought as a need, but not all distraction is equal. Unlike a walk in the nature which has low-key wonder, expansiveness with a degree of indifference, youtube doesn't want you to be too indifferent at the risk of losing "engagement" and is pretty damn opinionated about what will keep you hooked. The latter is more like the mindless obsessive shuffling of zombies towards brains.

In other words, it would be like saying humans always consumed food for pleasure, and equivocating our modern, hyper-palatable industrial food that drives the obesity epidemic with a 14th century invention like kebabs of the Levant.
The US backed Islamist rebels against the Soviet Union, thus destabilizing Afghanistan and leading to the ~40 years of war.

The internet definitely forgets or HN wouldn’t have rehashed the same 11 discussions every day for the past decade.
My best was 620 deaths, government survived. I eased restrictions every now and then when approval got too low, but spent liberally and was mostly fully locked down. Approval never got below 36.

https://i.imgur.com/AAj8Hm6.png

I then ran a case with no restrictions or spending, got 140k deaths and very high approval (80ish?). Implemented only masks and border closures got a very similar result, about 140k deaths but much lower approval (around 45).
Every time I tried to do anything useful, it crashed, though that could have to do with my high bitrate 4k footage origin. While attempting to use some tools I noticed the quality of the footage was degraded around the actual pixels where masks normally would be. I really just don't think tools like this are ready for mainstream professional use, but that's just my opinion. I still LOVE the idea though, and I hope this company keeps developing it, could be great one day. I HATE working with web-based tools though, wish they just produced a proper application.

What utter, complete, made-up nonsense. Islam guarantees women the right to divorce (along with property rights, pre-nuptial contracts, etc).

You just made the above up out of your own head, and added the spicy "Koran would behead her" just for kicks.

Have you ever watched an amoeba do its thing? I wouldn't call it cognition, but its behavior is remarkable for something with no neurons. In fact microtubules are the exact structure posited to be responsible for where and how amoebas move their pseudopods.

I think nuance and novelty are too significant in the cooking world to ever allow machines to take over 100% of cooking unless they offer incredible levels of flexibility. We tend to get bored of even the "best" flavors and the "best" is highly subjective. I can't speak for everyone, but feed me my favourite food, even my 5 favourites and I'll be sick of them all by day 10.
OK, now I understand how you interpreted my comment. Your interpetation is incorrect. I am neither complaining nor telling anyone what to use. I am asking a question. The comparison of Ruby versus Python is a little strange; they are two totally different languages. Bash OTOH is a superset of sh. Same language, with more features. I can usually modify most bash scripts I encounter to run under sh; most do not use the more advanced bash features. That is why I often wonder "Why not sh (for non-interactive use)?" You get better speed and portability and you do not have to install anything.
While I respect the idea of seeing what we used to make, and how, from my experience old recipes belong as a relic.

Many old recipes use wildly imprecise measuresments, ingredients or tools that no longer even exist, and frankly...are bland.

We have access today to so many more ingredients than in the past, and most modern recipes are much more flavorful as a result.

I think we really take for granted the globalisation of foods and spices.

Editing based on a reply:

This is also survivorship bias. Basically, any old recipe worth keeping is still being printed and/or improved upon in today's recipes.

So now instead of a few states controlling a disproportionate amount of political power, it's the case that relatively few voters benefit from the power imbalance. Is that better?

Regardless, the solution to add more states addresses both problems.

I'm really hoping someone wakes up and realizes the problem is not the fees but that consumers don't know about them. Let the consumer be informed about Google and Apple's rake on all their in-app charges. The outrage will take care of the rest. Not sure about Google, but Apple has deliberately prohibited developers from itemizing the 30% fee for consumers. That simple rule is what keeps their money pipe flowing. Market forces don't work when pricing is opaque.

One sad thing about these ancient martial arts is, they were great for the battle conditions of the ancient era, but they were not sufficiently improved for modern situations.

I don't know much about angampora in particular, but Kalaripayattu (which is a related martial art from Kerala) has sadly become more of a performing art than martial art these days.

For object recognition code, including lane-finding, to be sufficient, it needs to be looking far enough ahead that the car always has a plan B. If we reach that level of quality, and it still fails to find the lane, then the car can simply stop.

Deciding when to stop is a really easy threshold based on how confused the recognizer is and how far away the source of confusion is.

But also those sources of confusion will get rarer and rarer as the object recognition improves, to the point that even very mediocre handling of those situations will still give you an overall good experience.
If I recall there was an Android manufacturer caught using RAM with slower speeds (reducing memory bandwidth) and higher CAS latency after their initial production run of their flagship phone for that year.

This news is also concerning given I just got a free OnePlus Nord N200 5G, I wonder what bodges OnePlus did to make this $200 phone and still meet T-Mobile's battery life and app opening time requirements.

The 300Mbps to 600Mbps download and 60Mbps to 100Mbps upload this phone delivers in most areas of the Puget Sound is awesome! That being said Signal and other VOIP calls perform poorly when the phone flutters between LTE and 5G (or between band 71 and 41 on 5G)

For one thing, Volokh suggests that Twitter would also have to allow you to follow @BadStuff and then view its posts in your timeline – as long as you set your timeline to chronological mode. If you use the algorithmic timeline, on the other hand, he claims that you're now relying on Twitter to provide a kind of judgment on what tweets are better than others, so Twitter would then have the First Amendment right to refuse to show you some users' tweets entirely.

Personally, I suspect that any law like this would result in Twitter simply removing the chronological timeline altogether.

In addition, although the paper's title says "social media", Volokh also suggests the services which banned Parler – Google and Apple's app stores, and AWS – could also be subject to common carrier regulations. For those kinds of services, recommendation algorithms and domain names are irrelevant.
Yes, I was just going to add the similarity to gun control.

But I'd also add that the urge for control isn't limited to states. When these arts were valuable, masters would be selective and kind of abusive, about who they let learn the secrets. The long, seemingly pointless exercises one had to go through to learn obscure art X were basically tests of loyalty and efforts to instill loyalty.
Facebook has no cliff. You still have to wait a little over a quarter, though.
Of course, there are no absolutes. But how common are projects like that? Exceedingly rare in my experience. The great majority of projects (especially web and tech) are no longer profitable or decreasing majorly by the time of sell. That's been my personal experience from extensive study and searching for profitable projects for sale. But one could always get lucky I suppose.

Not exactly. The purpose is to recognize the sovereignty and equality of States joining to form a Republic. If a State decides to split into several smaller separately governed States, those new States should join the Republic receiving full representation as sovereign and equal States.

That is, the House represent people while the Senate represents States.

If you do what the buttons in the game say you're doing, you're going to get to zero after just a few weeks. That much is not a political question so much as it's a natural science question.

As for the political aspect of the question, ie.: "what options are available to us"...

I regret to be so blunt but in almost every case, when you hear people say that we can't afford eradication and that the best we can do is mitigate, that right there is what I would call serious political bullshit. It's what politicians say when they don't want to make difficult unpopular decisions. Eradication is almost always* the cheaper option.

As a good example, the two seemingly useful use cases (identifying an expelled student or a trespasser) could use this technology if deployed on the entrances and exits to a building. The more cameras you install, though, the more of a chance you’ll encounter a situation where mission creep occurs.

Cameras deployed all throughout schools with AI watching will inevitably lead to errors in misidentification, capture of information that isn’t pertinent, or misuse. At best the system errors too much, occasionally acting as a useful system to stop known trespassers. At worst, you send the police chasing down the wrong person, or you accidentally record something you wish you didn’t and the video is leaked.

I’m not quite sure how deployment of this system would lead to intended results, like stopping school shooters. It reminds me a lot of the Brussels airport that suggested having human “fire spotters” strategically stationed around the building as a substitute for a working and functional fire alarm system.

> Imagine the advantage you get getting there 2-3 years ahead of most people.

IME, there isn't much. You get to college a few years early, it's a kind of awkward experience, and then life happens.

Some of my friends lost a year or two due to the adjustment.

Other friends ended up in boring low-risk careers and regret not being mature enough at graduation to know what they wanted to do (switching majors, grad school, starting a company, etc.)

In the best case you start the career that you would've had anyways 2-3 years earlier.

I've met a lot of people who got started on life early (you probably have too). Most look back on it as having no material effect on their lives. A few consider it the worst decision they ever made.

Some people imagine a huge financial difference, but retirement is a long game and other variables dominate. A $10K difference in your salary at your first position, or getting laid off at an unlucky time, or choosing to optimize for something other than income, or buying randomcoin at the right/wrong time, or having your rsus vest in the right quarters, etc. are all going to have a larger financial impact than an extra 2 years in the labor market over a 30+ year career.

Neat! The model does seem fairly aggressive though. There are some US states that have done little and their deaths are no where near as extreme as what the games suggests.
If you have healthy, low-risk people intentionally get the disease (from a single variant which you keep in good stock) and then strictly isolate/quarantine until they get better, that'd be a potential strategy. It's probably the best way to get overall immunity high enough that COVID would burn out...
...of course, this is basically the same as a super crappy vaccine. Vaccination would be way better. But back when people were poo-pooing the possibility of a fast vaccine development, it almost felt tempting to just do this and get it over with.

Because the virus wouldn't be spreading beyond the host that got it, the risk of mutation would be small.

(IMHO, we should've just massively accelerated vaccine development... even just a couple months would've saved lots of lives. If you're willing to try the strategy in my post, then accelerating vaccine approval would probably be no worse morally and probably a lot better.)
> App store commissions — typically 30% — are charged to developers, who then usually pass the cost off to consumers who are buying apps or making purchases in things like mobile games.

Both Apple and Google now take 15% commission.

I am not a fan of neither companies, plus I am an app developer for both. I don't have a problem with the 15% fee from Apple as it's quite fair for the services and human interaction they provide. Though a case can be made that the $135 CAD developer license fee per year should take care of that. Google on the other hand will ban your app for strange reasons (look at the recent DroidScript app debacle) and won't even let you talk to a human unless you are big enough to get some tech sites to write about it. On the other hand Google at least allowed side loading apps something which Apple doesn't let you do easily. But then Google doesn't allow competitive app stores on their play store which is a problem. I think overall, both companies need to be reigned in but in my opinion, going after the 15% is not the right way.

Edit: Why the downvotes?

Contrary to popular opinion, I actually found my English classes incredibly useful— all the way through English Comp for my University Core curriculum. They were less about learning grammar and whatnot (though they did teach to write more eloquently at the higher levels) and more about digesting information and thinking critically.

People love to wave English around as the most useless class of them all, but when taught correctly it’s really the most important. It influences how we consume media, how we write, and how we communicate with one another. All of those skills are incredibly important in all other classes and I think having a concentrated environment to learn them is valuable.
New Zealand did it.
Your anger reminds me of how many people (including me) felt about m$ft in the nineties. I predict similar results.
There are two very different scenarios and companies that both happen to be about exorbitant fees. I'm not sure about this but I think you can't really do the suit at once with two companies. You would require legislation for that, I think.

Apple also has a tighter hold on the app ecosystem, as well as the developer fee, xcode, no third party app stores, "entitlement" apis, etc.

I can understand not liking how bureaucratically onerous it is, but we don't really have a choice. It's imperfect but it's the only way we've found to manage highly complex large scale engineering projects. You certainly aren't going to build something like JWT with a just YOLO agile process unless you're literally willing to fail like 50 times before you get one right (aka the USSR approach to rockets).

The upside is automation is making it go smoother and be less burdensome, because simulated testing truly is high enough fidelity now it allows a bit more virtual trial and error in the process.
I hope you find a satiating interlocutor, but I think the most obvious explanation is probably the most correct one in this case. I know this theory doesn't exactly satiate one's intellectual curiosity, but sometimes the truth is boring.
Sorta related ... I run a newsletter that curates HN stories which didn't (mostly) make the frontpage, but I also omit politics, big-tech news and stuff like that. There's about 40 stories every week, and most of it is tech/dev related. Would it be a help to you, perhaps?

What makes those social media platforms common carrier is their hosting function, you are taking about their recommendation function, which can be technically separated from the hosting function.
