> A mongol like situation and the whole structure and culture is shattered.

The Mongols were more of the putting-themselves-on-the-top type of invader. Almost all conquerors are. (Though it's true that wasn't the Mongols' original intent -- see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yel%C3%BC_Chucai )

Where did they insert their own culture in the place of their subjects'?
I would be interested in this, if Nintendo wasn't such a user-hostile (heck, fan-hostile) company. Many of the Switch games (excluding BotW) are available on other platforms (including Linux!) and because I haven't gotten hooked on Zelda yet I don't even know what I'm missing out on.

The fact that these offerings are non-custodial is innovative, as is the fact that they are always open (albeit if there's high demand the fees may be high enough to be prohibitive)

FDIC & regulation kind of makes it so for most people most of the time it doesn't matter that banks are custodial.

Offering these services without being custodial is innovative though.

EDIT:

The other major (IMO) innovative piece is the permissionlessness. zapper.fi is a great example of being able to build something that adds lots of value (given you've already bought into crypto & defi) without needing anyone's permission to integrate into their systems.
I came for the memory footprint but I stayed with Rust for this. Rust became my daily-driver for hobby projects because refactoring and tinkering with old projects is a breeze. For me, Rust projects don't seem to require much cognitive burden to load into my human memory. I do not claim that this quality is unique to Rust however it is very much present in Rust.

There is a big difference between "we will freeze your assets when we have a reasonable belief that we are legally required to" and (to paraphrase) "we will do whatever the fuck we want for any or no reason, we may not even give notice".

Ah, my information was bad. The study you originally cited specifically mentions CPI-U as the measure they were using.

I assure you I wasn't lying, and thank you for the correction. (perhaps consider not jumping straight to the lying accusation in the future).

There's still a conversation about housing taking up an increasing share of the pie that doesn't exactly shine through in that top line number, but no point in belaboring it.
What's new is the discovery that it's not the H2O2 that's doing the disinfection.
Anecdotally, I recently got stuck in one of these automated loops for an airline and they said there was going to be a wait time of like 10 hours. After fiddling around I eventually found the call back option and they called me at 2 AM, so I missed the call.

So, I drove to the nearest airport and went to the service desk. I got my problem fixed in about 5 minutes. I do agree something needs to be done about these customer service loops, if I didn't get my problem resolved I wouldn't have been able to go on my family trip, that we had been talking about with the kids for months. It is beyond ridiculous, in a fair and sensible some government agency would be able to prevent these things, but here we are.

Other comments have pointed out lack of cars (the whole point) or AC being an issue when you want to carry your groceries 300m home in 40+ degree C temperatures. And this is true.

But for me it was the "soundscape" comments.

- caption quote: "imagine the fresh air, the invigorating call of roosters in the morning"

Rooster calls are not so much invigorating as annoying.

- "The loudest noise you will hear on a typical day will be children playing or a conversation between neighbors in the street. And so it should be."

Did stereos, consoles, movies just cease to exist too? Are we going to be crammed in next to our neighbours hearing everything they do through their "airflow enhanced" houses?

- "Keep the lots small, and all buildings aligned right to the edge of the lot facing the street, leaving backyards and courtyards, common or private, and walled gardens on unused space"

Apparently so. This town is for someone else, not me.
I'm not sure if "allow" is the right word here. Really the NSA can set up another Room 641A at any company they want regardless of that company's wishes and with a national security letter the company can be prevented from even telling anyone (like their customers or the media) about it. I was furious when Obama granted telecom companies immunity from prosecution for their role in the warrantless spying, but really it's not exactly fair to pushing people who are strong-armed into compliance.

>the Sun's photosphere has a temperature of about 6000°

There was a paper that proposed that Earth's surface was about this hot for a while after the collision that formed the Moon.

Even though the heat wasn't coming from nuclear fusion, for a while it was just as hot as a star, so the Moon, which was smaller and cooled faster overall, was remelted in places by "Earthshine" - therefore the discrepancy between the maria on the near side and the far side.

Το Στάδιο του Γουέμπλεϊ φιλοξενεί μια σημαντική ημιτελική συνάντηση Euro 2020 την Τετάρτη, καθώς η Αγγλία καλωσορίζει το Σκανδιναβικό πακέτο έκπληξης της Δανίας στην πρωτεύουσα για μια θέση στον τελικό της διοργάνωσης του φετινού καλοκαιριού. Τα Τρία Λιοντάρια απέκλεισαν εύκολα την Ουκρανία με 4-0 για να φτάσουν στην τελική τετράδα, ενώ η Δανία πέρασε επί της Τσεχίας με 2-1, και είτε η Ιταλία είτε η Ισπανία θα περιμένουν τους νικητές στο τελικό στις 11 Ιουλίου.

Yup! It's also used in other games a lot.

For example in EVE Online with a 1v1 fight two basic tactics are either Kite or Brawl. A kiter that can maintain range will beat a brawler. But a brawler that 'catches' a kiter will generally win.
Fake seems like a strange choice of words here. These things arent attempting to deceive anyone into believing they are the real thing. They clearly label themselves as derivatives.

We don't call corn futures fake corn, we don't call derivatives of other types fake those things and we shouldn't call these fake stocks.

I'm really not defending or not defending whatever these platforms are. I wouldn't be surprised if there is shady stuff going on here. But call it whatever it is. It isn't fake stocks.
Large insulated tanks of water are cheap. Sizing your house for a full week’s hot water is going to be cheaper than paying peak rates. That doesn’t help people today, but water heaters don’t last that long.

Alternatively a tankless water heater provides both redundancy and instantly hot water.

Pain has been localized to a particular region of the brain? When?

I’m sure that the location of pain processing in the brain has been known for a long time. Opto-genetics has been around a long time too. I’m sure that this has already been done. Just like neuralink and neural pixels.

Every time you mess with the brain you are messing with a tuned system of interdependencies. There will be counter-intuitive consequences from doing something like this. It might interfere with your ability to go into shock after injury. It might perturb fundamental bits of your brain resulting in psychiatric injury. The only way to find out is to try it. Sign me up. There will be winners in the basket of simple electrode interventions.
The DoD doesn't have the knowledge base necessary to create its own cloud. Besides, we've seen plenty of major security foul ups in every area of computing. Cloud doesn't strike me as particularly outstanding in that area for military use, especially if it's a completely private cloud separated digitally & physically from all other AWA / MS services in its own hardened security centers and the same segregation from public networks that I would expect of any military system.
Btw, I think it's a good time to also announce that we have just started an "Enso Partnership Program" – long story short, if you have an idea of what you want to build on top of Enso, we'd like to help you deliver it! <3 Just tell us what you want to build by filling up this form (https://airtable.com/shrsnx2mJuRn0MxIS) and we will provide you with:

1. Dedicated Enso Expert.
We will assign you with a dedicated Enso Expert from our side who will be responsible to help you build your use case and guide you step by step in case you have any problems.

2. Priority Bug Fixing.
Enso is currently in alpha stage, so it contains bugs and is rough around the edges. We are working really hard on improving it, but bugs will occur. In case any bug will prevent you from progressing, we will focus on resolving it ASAP. It would normally mean, that you should expect fixing it in hours / days after reporting it!

3. Project Delivery Guidance.
We want to guide you how to get your project on track and how to progress trough all of its stages, from the initial planning, trough prototyping, till releasing the working version. Based on our experience, it is best if you will have design / progress calls with the assigned Enso Expert once a week. Normally, 30 minutes call should be more than enough to be sure that everything goes according to the plan.

4. Extended Support.
We know how important it is to get help when you are building things. We will try to reply to your questions in max 1 hour after you ask them. Of course, we are not able to cover all timezones right now, but we will do our best, especially in the range of 8 am - midnight CET.

5. Enso stuff.
We would love to share with you how we appreciate that you are building things on Enso. We would love to send you some cool Enso stuff (like t-shirts, stickers, hoodies).

WOW, is this thread treading on thin ice in July? Uh, it is apparently well established that public commentary, e.g., in the mainstream media (MSM), 100% must NOT include chemical formulas or meaningful uses of ratios, proportions, percentages, or scientific, chemical, or microbiological terminology, yet post after post in this thread are in flagrant violation! As I recall, ratios and proportions are from somewhere above the third grade and some of the rest of the topics go up even to, horrors, high school science courses!

To add to the transgressions, this thread is discussing the content of a peer-reviewed paper of original research about some tricky, detailed parts of chemistry and microbiology.

Intelligent discussion and content? Horrors!!

Stand aside as 99 44/100% of media comes tumbling down like that condo recently did in Florida? Maybe!

Ah, that's Hacker News for you; no chance of seeing such content, such flagrant transgressions, in the MSM!

Uh, I'm not complaining, you understand! Not complaining at all!
The poor quality of so much professional work has been a surprising realization for me as I've gotten a little older. I used to think that most professional plumbers would be really great at plumbing and could easily fix most problems wothout issue. Same for electricians, doctors, mechanics, etc. In practice, I run into blunders and extremely shoddy work more often than not.

Hiring a person for a home repair often takes just as long as learning how to do it myself, given how often they make mistakes or do poor quality work. Same for doctors; I can't remember the last time I was told something by a doctor I didn't already know from researching it myself. They mostly just gatekeep medicine, IME.

This isn't at all meant to say that I'm particularly good at research, mostly I'm talking about knowledge that's a quick DDG search or youtube video away.
There was an EconTalk about Art Loss Register that covered this very question [1]. The insurance company returns it as long as the original owner pays back the amount paid out with some interest. The insurance company doesn't benefit from any appreciation of the artwork though.

What's unclear though is that (as described in the same podcast), the insurance company doesn't pay out the full value of the artwork. The TV show Lupin uses this as the plot device whereby a fraudster claims the artwork is stolen to get the insurance money as a kind of temporary loan.

Hey HN! I’m Dominic, an engineer at Retool, and I'm excited to be sharing this on HN.

I often need to spin up a quick Postgres DB or REST API to test features I’m working on. Seeding these with data can get tedious, especially if I have to duplicate resources across environments. I put together a few quick tools to make this easier, like Import CSV to PostgreSQL (https://retool.com/utilities/write-csv-to-postgres) and Convert CSV to JSON (https://retool.com/utilities/convert-csv-to-json).

All the utilities are freely available at https://retool.com/utilities - this one (https://retool.com/utilities/generate-app-from-csv) is one my favorites which lets you auto-generate a basic CRUD app from a CSV file.

Any feedback, requests for utilities or questions welcome! :)

Netflix Update: Try This at Home [2006]
>The philosopher Hubert Dreyfus argued that computers, who have no body, no childhood and no cultural practice, could not acquire intelligence at all.

I feel like that's utter nonsense. What the things we misname 'AIs' today don't lack intelligence. They lack motivation. Goals. It has nothing to do with childhood or culture. It's not What™ or How™ that is missing but Why™.

For example even the dumbest 'living' organism is motivated to reproduce. Even if it doesn't know why. But since all the ones that weren't didn't, they died out and all we're left with are the ones that do.

And humans without a Why™ strongly resemble what we call depressed.
It's a law that requires financial institutions to "Know Their Customer" in order to operate legally. It's a reasonable law. Following existing regulations will be needed for crypto to have a chance at being mainstream
Google's revenue per employee is 1.3 million annually. Netflix's is 2.3 million. Facebook's 1.5. Profit per employee runs even lower, Google's is 300K, Facebook's 400K, netflix's 250K.

That's after tricksy things that inflate those numbers, such as using a large number of contractors to decrease the employee count. I don't disagree that these companies could afford to pay more, but not like a ton more. Like, if they decided to put all profit toward workers, it would probably result in like...doubled salaries, which is a lot, but calling it a pittance is a reach.

There's all kinds of valid stuff to discuss in terms of companies paying people in weird ways: the abuse of non-engineers and especially vendors. The weird rules about locale-based pay. This one is weird mostly because the data doesn't bear you out as much as you seem to think it does. Especially when things like improving the conditions of TVCs and making them FTEs will further reduce that profit per employee margin (I believe it would put the profit per employee below 200K for all the companies I mentioned).

So like presuming that these companies start to treat the second-class people better, you're looking at a 20-30% raise for the swes. That's nice, don't get me wrong, but its not anything like the abuse you're making it out to be.
I suspect the mentality started to shift after the '08 crises. But I know quite a few undergraduate "business" majors who weren't able to find remunerative work from that era.
Time‐Efficient Inspiratory Muscle Strength Training Lowers Blood Pressure and Improves Endothelial Function, NO Bioavailability, and Oxidative Stress in Midlife/Older Adults With Above‐Normal Blood Pressure

"We performed a double‐blind, randomized, sham‐controlled trial to investigate whether 6 weeks of IMST (30 breaths/day, 6 days/week) improves blood pressure, endothelial function, and arterial stiffness in midlife/older adults ...

Thirty‐six participants completed high‐resistance IMST (75% maximal inspiratory pressure, n=18) or low‐resistance sham training (15% maximal inspiratory pressure, n=18)..

Casual systolic blood pressure decreased from 135±2 mm Hg to 126±3 mm Hg (P<0.01) with IMST, which was ≈75% sustained 6 weeks after IMST (P<0.01), whereas IMST modestly decreased casual diastolic blood pressure (79±2 mm Hg to 77±2 mm Hg, P=0.03);"

https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/JAHA.121.020980

So 18 participants, with a drop in diastolic by 2 mm Hg.

Much hype.

Essentially clickbait for the statistically challenged.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_shop_(stock_market)

"In a form of what is now considered illegal front running and self-dealing, a bucket shop holding a large position on a stock, and knowing a client's vulnerable margin, might sell the stock on the real stock exchange, causing the price on the ticker tape to momentarily move down enough to exhaust the client's margins. Through its opportunistic actions, the bucket shop thereby gains 100% of the client's investment.

The term bucket shop came to apply to other types of scams, some of which are still practiced. They were typically small store front operations that catered to the small investor, where speculators could bet on price fluctuations during market hours. However, no actual shares were bought or sold: all trading was between the bucket shop and its clients. The bucket shop made its profit from commissions, and also profited when share prices went against the client.

Bucket shops were made illegal after they were cited as a major contributor to the two stock market crashes in the early 1900s."
> Reading between the lines it seems the writer has mainly watched American movies that are easily accessible.

Bingo. I mostly gave up on those decades ago. Come on, I remember walking more than once into a Blockbuster video rental store (remember those?). I'd make a few rounds of the isles, come up empty-handed, then walk out the door.

I started mostly going to an outlet called called Tom's Video on Grandview Highway in Vancouver, Canada. You could rent lots of Asian cinema there. HK movies, Japanese movies, Korean movies, Chinese movies, and from other parts of the world as well.

The author of this blog has simply burned out on one kind of movie and lost perspective.

A movie doesn't have to be entirely original. Even if the stories are tropes, there are always different actors, different cinematography and so on.

Blues songs are more similar to each other than American movies, yet there is a point in coming back to the Blues. If you say, "what's the point of listening to the Blues; it's the same song structures and soloing cliches", you're missing the point.

I used to like these kind of bank startups because they usually have a much more polished user interface/well designed app, but they definitely do stuff like this.

Simple was the first big one. Then they got acquired. Then shut down. I switched to a bank called N26 that after 2 months flagged my account for "suspicious activity" and asked me to reupload identification documents. They rejected every single attempt I tried then shut down my account. I then do some reading and turns out they do this to a ton of people.

Having a fancy looking debit card and a nice app isn't worth the drama. I'd love to see one of these fintech startups actually last and not get acquired or turn into a way to market to consumers but it's looking pretty grim.
