Completely agreed with you. It's one thing to acknowledge humanity's faults, another to just be defeatist to the point of ignoring all good things we have done as a species just because we've done bad ones too.
I have not read the book yet - would you please explain what about that priming section you did not like? Is it something specific that Kahneman says or the whole concept of priming? If it is the later, I would like to know what you critique, because I have always considered priming something obvious that I use to explain common life experiences without questioning it.
Look into Chris Newman at Sylvanaqua farms. Scale and social-economic accessibility are some of the big ones. He critiques a pattern of "circle citation" within the community.
No specific guideline, it's more the effect of various guidelines being interpreted by a defensive culture.

We can't accuse someone of not having read the article, despite two of the biggest problems this community has regarding the quality of conversation being people only commenting on the title, and people using the title as a springboard for whatever polemic it triggers in them.

We can't be "snarky" or "sneer" about the community. Any direct criticism of the community comes off as snark.

Meta commentary is frowned upon for being unsubstantive. All criticism of the community is meta commentary by definition.

>Anyhow, if people get so invested into HN that they feel the need to vent about it, the problem might not be HN.

And then again, the problem might be HN. Getting invested in a community and being disappointed in its faults isn't a problem.
A small electric fence can be set up to keep out bears. Fairly inexpensive in the face of food cost savings.
I love that people are still doing fun page designs like this. I'd started to forget it was possible.
Correct me if I am wrong, isn't a channel basically same as blocking queues in Java? I know go but not much advanced.
I did not say that we should burn down the Universities, only that they have gone astray. I think this is actually not a very controversial comment. Every academic I know is deeply unhappy, even the ones who are really doing as well as one can. This is a generalisation.
1. Allow only submissions from authenticated sessions, disallowing duplicates: each user's account gets one submission attempt per day.

2. Include a hidden nonce in the submission form whose value must be correctly. Thus the attacker cannot just blindly send a submission on the strike of 9:00; the attacker has to obtain something from your server which is only available at 9:00 or later: the form markup containing the correct nonce, unique to their session.

3. Include a question in the form that must be correctly answered, but is likely hard to do for a robot. Of course, the question is different everyday.
This is incorrect.

Ever wonder why it’s the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine? It’s because the simple nationalist narrative you’re repeating is misrepresenting a far more complicated international research story.

> It would be easier, one suspects, for Google to implement multi-ID support in Chrome

They have. I use a work profile and a personal profile all the time. There's also a guest profile. OK, profiles take whole windows rather than individual tabs, but I don't find that a problem.

The biggest problem is that although I can right click and open a link in another profile, there doesn't seem to be a good way to reopen the page I am already on. I have to copy the URL, select the other profile, press new tab, then paste. Sometimes it would be nice to easily add tabs to a block list so that if I try to open e.g. facebook in work mode, I get a "You can't do that, click here to open in personal mode" screen instead of a facebook login page.
The corruption runs deeper than that. Something like 50% of drug discovery is funded by US govt, taxpayers. Yet 100% of the profits from new drugs goes to big pharma. They're robbing us.
Wow, that's definitely something I hadn't considered in my hypothesis. Thanks for pointing that out. The sheer expense makes the book's existence much more intriguing.
Same for taking notes when listening to a lecture or reading a book.
This is quite a bizzar argument (which I've actually never heard before). I see the link, but can you elaborate on your reasoning?
It's value neutral. It's just a fact. It's like saying the sky is blue, or the earth is a sphere. How people react to that information is up to them.

What other science would you like prevented to spare people's feelings?
"Why Richard Branson’s flight matters–and, yes, it matters"

This style/tone of headline is really starting to annoy me. It feels so condescending. Am I alone in this?
> And I know of no system that allows different simultaneous workspaces with their own IDs, nor browser that allows the same with tabs

I'm probably missing something, but Microsoft makes it reasonably easy to switch from personal account to work account _even with the same email address_ -- in Microsoft Edge in the same profile, in the mobile Outlook & OneDrive apps, and so forth.

Sure it could be better, but the simple workaround is to just create a browser profile (which is pretty easy to do in Chrome and indeed in Edge) per family member, set up distinctive themes for each profile, and so on.

Of course this is also possible with Firefox.
OTOH, of you do need to keep up (with a lecture, for example), handwriting hurts because you don't have time to finish.
> If you need to share files, you can just setup the access rights to allow it.

"just setup". Try explaining how to do that to my parents so that they can share files with each other.
A person could totally be an expert on soil and sustainable agriculture and know nothing useful about medicine. In fact, that is what I would expect. Listen to the experts on their subject of expertise, and take the rest with a huge grain of salt.
I'm fairly confident you cannot get to the higher levels of politics without skeletons in your closet.
> To serialize access, protect the data with channel operations or other synchronization primitives such as those in the sync and sync/atomic packages.

> If you must read the rest of this document to understand the behavior of your program, you are being too clever. Don't be clever.

I'm surprised that they list sync/atomic as a thing to use. As I recall its behaviour isn't even defined--I followed a long mailing list thread trying to find out that ended with 'these are the behaviours we know we want but it's too complicated to document so let's just keep this to ourselves'.
Biden recently said no to raising the gas tax. So even if they vote blue, it doesn't seem to matter unfortunately.
It’s a lot. It was mussels and oysters and similar organisms.
> you'd be better off just selling the asset instead of donating it for a fractional tax saving.

The idea of this scheme (which may be exaggerated on the internet) is that you cannot sell the asset.

This is a painting by the cousin of someone who went to the same barbershop as de Kooning. There is zero market. There are approximately zero buyers. There is some story to be constructed that plausibly justifies some "historical value." There is presumably some decorative value.
It kinda lives on, Elliq is very similar, but aimed at old people.

There's actually quite a few of these that I never knew about, aimed at old people. Not quite sure why.

There must be a bunch of others they’re missing.
Humans Should Not Colonize Mars (2017)
Sounds like they should lay off the Concoda, it sounds dangerous.
I suggest Los Angeles, the site of the world’s only profitable Olympics. Most of the infrastructure is already built including permanent media space, sports venues, and entertainment venues. The main issue would be housing the athletes, and what could you morally do with housing between the games in a housing crisis.
That's a reasonable response, but it's actually totally normal to have expertise in one domain and totally wacky ideas in another one.

It's even possible to combine these things, although that's a dangerous game to play. Biodynamic agriculture is a great example of this, Rudolph Steiner's model of how agriculture (and scientific matters in general) is... heterodox... but biodynamic farms regularly produce good crops of quality food, and the practices cultivate healthy soil by any objective measure you would care for.

I wouldn't go casually trying this with medicine, where practitioners are more likely to do the wrong thing for the wrong reasons, rather than the right thing for the wrong reasons.
A good old rant about Windows! It feels like 1999 again!

I won't pretend this is a universal truth, but often code that is quicker and easier to design is quicker and easier to read and understand. A language with less necessary boilerplate can take less reading to understand. Maybe you have a clever IDE that folds away boilerplate code for your chosen language, so that may not always apply.

Lisp originated as an intermediate code. It's basically an s-expression encoding of an AST. There was at one time a frontend planned, but people started writing all sorts of code directly in Lisp.

If your developers don't understand any layers of the stack below their own input, that's a bad thing. Lisp's interpretation or compilation is largely tied more or less directly to the input syntax. It's a language made powerful by the interactions of a handful of first-class concepts being allowed to interact with few artificial limits. Once your developers understand those concepts, it's pretty easily read except perhaps deeply nested constructs.

The animated Elizabeth Holmes cherubs have a real 90s internet feel to them. Totally the stuff of nightmares too.
Why didn't someone think of this sooner?
I believe tires last less time in an EV, because of the increased mass. But maybe that isn't the case. I just looked up a comparable ICE to a model 3, got the BMW 330i, and that has approximately the same weight (3500 lbs)
Crazy to think that in the life span of this planet is ??? Before christ? After christ? A million years or two?

Exactly, no one knows the answer....

We can't agree as a civilization when this planet started, but everyone knows when it's going to end.... irony is thick around these parts...

Some soft Tom Green stuff right here
How do you know they're not encountering the same issue? Louis is the only one with a large enough audience to be vocal about it.
Every company is a shit show
Everything has tradeoffs. Various studies of the economic impact of climate change suggested some warming would be a net positive for northern countries but sufficient warming would be universally bad for every country. We have already reached that point, the issue for the north isn’t just an increase in average temperatures it’s an increase in variability. Canada wasn’t prepared for 120f temperatures and spending money to prepare for such rare events is hard to justify. On the other hand failing to prepare has real consequences.

Plus, retreating permafrost is a serious issue for infrastructure built on top of it. Combined with new pests and everything put together it’s a complex issue to analyze.
> At least I have never heard of anyone here (in Denmark) seeing themselves as represented by a person. It is more of a party thing.

This might be a parliamentary democracy thing. In the US, everything is about borders and leaders. You're happy with corrupt politicians because corrupt politicians are connected politicians, and they might bring benefits to your state/district.
Get a shovel and dig a hole where there are some plants growing. You will see a darker layer (soil) on top of a lighter layer. The lighter layer is dirt (sand, silt, clay) without carbon in the form of life and carbohydrates. Progress is measured by the depth of the darker layer. The native prairie had a dark layer filled with roots 30 feet deep. To determine exactly how healthy your soil layer is you will need a microscope to survey the microbiota. If you dont have a microscope you can get an idea of how you are doing by observing how well the soil aggregates and is bound to roots. In healthy soil plants will have soil aggregates stuck to their roots that have to be manually removed. The aggregates are formed by glomalin produced by fungus and bacteria.

The more life you see in the soil the healthier it is. Predatory arthropods are a really good indicator. If they are around that means there is food for them.
That is well known and undisputed. The question is: when can you stop eating less than your body is telling you that you should? Did you ever get rid of the hunger?

I lost about 30kg (105 -> 75) by eating less, excersing more, all in about the span of a year. I never stopped feeling hungry overall for this period, constantly had to fight the urge to eat more. In periods where high stress reduced my willpower, I started putting back weight. I've put on about 10kg back in the following 5 years, so on balance I'm still in pretty good shape, but the trend is clear.

The mystery is why I have this relationship with food, and why other people don't. Most thin people are not going to bed dreaming of tomorrow's meal.
I’ve worked overtime because I made mistakes or failed to understand the technical challenges behind a problem.

The thing is, those mistakes should be baked in to your 40 hour work week. They are for other professions. Lawyers don’t give free billable hours when a task takes more time than expected. Find a company and management that treats you like a human, and don’t give away free engineering hours.
At the risk of sounding like a movie villain... anyone who's tried to go to Yosemite on a weekend must agree with this on some level
While cancer is lower, their life expectancy is around the US average. US average lifespan isn’t something to write home about.
The fundamental difference between the relationship between individuals and businesses and individuals and government is that one is voluntary, the other is not. Businesses need customers to survive, it is a very powerful motivator to providing good products and customer service if people are free to do business with someone else instead. Rapid changes in consumer habits, usually due to new options becoming available, have doomed many incumbents. Government agencies don't need you, you need them through force of the law.

Even if you are an employee, it's a voluntary relationship. If you feel you're not being treated fairly, you can try to complain, your leverage being that you are free to leave. The exception to this is monopoly situations which is why maintaining competitive environments is so important. We still haven't quite figured out the best way to do this. Regulations, in the broad sense, can help or hurt competition.

It's a romantic idea that we can change government through democracy but these agencies are quite removed from the democratic process. We elect representatives but they can't do anything unilaterally. Their priorities will not align with each individual's priorities at any given time. Even if it does align with your specific needs they need to build some kind of consensus with other representatives about what to change. It's a slow and imperfect process.
I think we should expect better use of vocabulary from the audience at HN, who tend to be better educated than the general population. Expecting people to say "people will become discouraged and leave" instead of "NY will become a ghost town" -- when the former is what they actually mean -- is not unreasonable.

Sure, I will concede that it is the listener's responsibility to seek clarification when responding to an ambiguous statement or claim. But here, there was no ambiguity, just hyperbole.

Hyperbole is used far more often here (and on the Internet in general) than it ought to be. We can, and should, have nuanced discourse here. Let's keep the bar high.
So your paycheck is generated from losses?
It's not like it's a rare game. You could buy a loose cart for $10 and play that. I can guarantee you that whoever bought this has one already to play.

I'm not too familiar with OLPC (perhaps they were indeed a money grab), but I feel there is a difference between "oops..my startup that would have made me rich AF failed" and "oops.. my startup that would have made the internet more accessible for african kids failed"
That is funny! It needs some serious basis to make it more than that.

I loved the Coolest Cooler idea but thought maybe it was overengineering something that most people didn't really need. How often do we get to use a cooler in a summer? Not much for my family, not enough time.
I can confirm that cracking the Steam DRM is as easy as ever.
I think bodies are not meant to always be processing food. We are designed for downtime to process the backlog. The body would get to nagging issues if given opportunity to do so.

I also think this has a lot to do with our cancer rates.
I was wondering if anyone else ran into that with the copy/paste! I had to type it out manually and just figured it was my mobile browser being crappy.

Yeah, no thanks!
Google Play unveils ‘play as you download’ for Android games
These use cases where people are running into trouble are increasingly sounding a lot like "What happens if I engage Autopilot and then take a nap?" That's definitely not how the tool was intended to be used, but it's hard to see how you can reasonably expect that nobody would ever do that.
That's not really relevant but also not true. A reasonable estimate is that ~105 billion modern
homo sapiens have ever lived[1], the inflection point you're talking about (50% humans born before & 50% born after) probably happened closer to 200-300CE[2]

> one of the problems common in big test suites: poorly factored tests that end up being the sort of expressive duplication that is a giant drag on improving existing code.

I feel like you just described every developer/codebase where mock testing is stupidly enforced. Where every single unit test mocks every single indirect object. 98% of the testing code is just exhaustive setup and teardown of objects not being tested by each test, and then a bunch of conditional checks to ensure that every deeper/indirect method is being called exactly the right number of times with exactly the right arguments and returning exactly the right value. Almost all of the test code is just hacking mock objects. The actual purpose of each test is buried so deep that it's impossible to even understand the business logic being applied.

I hate evangelical "mock testers" with a passion.
Have fun pitching your fellow Canadians on a massive regression in standard of living that hits your poor & first nations communities hardest while becoming a economic vassal state to the CCP, who literally does not give a fuck.
From context I’d say they mean fertilizer, pesticides, and herbicides.

Edit: you will probably find that many words have multiple meanings, and it is not hard to find words that have one specific technical meaning and a different one in colloquial usage. Organic is another common one.
Yeah, I'm not sold it being money laundering. Getting a story by the BBC is the absolute last thing you would want. You also want to avoid expensive items with paper trails. High-volume cash businesses is where it's at.
Didn't know the differences between the original ESP32 and the ESP32-S3, so I looked it up. The ESP32-S3 is basically an updated version.

Major differences:

Xtensa® dual-core 32-bit LX6 vs LX7 (better FPU I think?)

BR/EDR + Bluetooth LE v4.2 vs Bluetooth LE v5.0

SRAM 520 vs 512

ROM 448 vs 384

USB OTG none vs 1

Plus some minor differences in the peripherals.
I almost backed the Coolest Cooler, until I saw the built-in 'ice blender' and realized I didn't want a cooler that required a power supply. Sad to see so many people get taken for a ride :/
Fixing wealth equality was never a narrative. In fact wealth incentives favoring early adopters were built in day 0.

It’s impossible and maddening to keep the “movement” on track in messaging. Every era is less educated technically and cares less about ideological or political goals and more about the bottom line of making some wealth.

So of course the movement is diluted. Influencers are rarely true cypherpunks and are the loudest by profession. But it doesn’t mean it isn’t working. IMHO the traditional finance system has only gotten more troubling since Satoshi’s whitepaper while crypto has grown more and more capable. It’s true there have been new challenges that have emerged, some of which are still ongoing, but that’s part of growth.
When you buy a branded Arduino, you're supporting the people who develop the hardware, software, libraries, documentation and learning resources, community platforms, and educational outreach.
