> As for Burning Man and the transformational music & art festivals, these have exercised some of the festival’s authentic function – until recently, when their exile to online platforms stripped them of any transcendental possibility. Much as the organizers are doing their best to keep the idea of the festival alive, online festivals risk becoming just another show for consumption. One clicks into them, sits back, and watches. In-person festivals are different. They start with a journey, then one must undergo an ordeal (waiting in line for hours). Finally you get to the entrance temple (the registration booth), where a small divination ritual (checking the list) is performed to determine your fitness to attend (by having made the appropriate sacrifice – a payment – beforehand). Thereupon, the priest or priestess in the booth confers upon the celebrant a special talisman to wear around the wrist at all times. After all this, the subconscious mind understands one has entered a separate realm, where indeed, to a degree at least, normal distinctions, relations, and rules do not apply. Online events of any kind rest safely in the home. Whatever the content, the body recognizes it as a show.

I don't buy it. Surely there are still burns and de-facto lawless (as long as safety of others is not violated, and by that I'm not talking about social distancing or masks) festivals happening worldwide still? It's just that most government/corporate-backed ordeals, and huge (1k+ participants) events are called off.

Here in JP (an otherwise famously very restrictive and normative society), meat-space outdoors raves/festivals and rainbow-like gatherings have been thriving during the pandemic, even moreso now during the summer, likely due to the nerfing of indoor club events.

May be the case for other scenes as well; this is just the one I'm personally familiar with presently.

From my limited perspective the festival scene is more active than ever: There are multiple 1-to-3-day raves/music festivals happening every week within 2h drive from where I'm at in the sleepy conforming boonies, states of emergency or not. There is certainly code, but I argue at least the events my friend groups have been frequenting are easily breaking social norms enough that they're still valid under their definition. They may be smaller, but they're more in numbers and frequency.

From what I hear, the fetish subscenes also alive, active, and well.

If it still happens here, I'd be surprised if it wasn't the case most everywhere. I suspect the author hasn't been seriously surveying their locale.

(I certainly don't go rave every week; I know people who do, though. I gave up trying to preach to people that they should act COVID-safer. Party people gonna party people)

> But every diet completely misses the elephant in the room: hunger!

And this is why a new drug just approved in the US for obesity is hailed as a game changed, NovoNordisk's semaglutide. (Wegovy) The "only" thing it does is mange the hunger levels in your body so you dont feel hungry all the time.

I think there was a study back in February for it which gave something like a 15% weight loss after a year, *on average*.
Metformin and myo-inositol solved this issue for me. Only after solving issues with pre-diabetes I was able to start losing weight without constant hunger.
If you want to argue that IP is not real ownership and should not exist, then I cannot make a good counter-argument. Except to say that it is the system we have and to eliminate it would simply shift the debate to whatever new business model the video game or textbook publishers switched to.

As for your price-gouging case, an ethical quandary would remain if you were completely broke and dying of thirst no matter how reasonably the water was priced. And/or if the seller was just a neighbor who actually didn't want to sell at all but just keep it for himself. How is it more moral to keep and refuse to sell at any price than to keep unless someone offers you a high enough price? You must either think theft when needed to preserve life is morally justified or not.

> To summarize, populations who diet and exercise, the same amount as populations in the 80s, are heavier. No one knows why, but some possibilities are

Sugar.
I have a very hard time finding edible chocolate. It is all sugar and cocoa.
Want to buy some canned vegetables ? They contain sugar (why ?). Bread seems to contain more and more sugar. Want to buy semiprocessed food ? It has a lot of sugar. Want to buy some juice ? 10 -20 g of sugar per 100 ml. It is just crazy.
I've never understood calories. Sure if you eat less but keep the food composition and exercize the same, you loose weight. That's trivial. But calories is energy and weight is mass. I've joked if you eat a bar of plutonium you won't gain a ton. And if you eat a kg of sugar, you'll get a stomach ache but won't suddenly gain a lot.

I think something that is often neglected is: What portion of the calories you eat is used, what portion is stored, and what portion is discarded? It seems there is an adjusting screw that makes us store more of the consumed calories than before. If we just eat less calories total, we also gain less (sure), but we often won't have enough power to go around.

I can't find the source anymore, but I read a theory about high fructose corn sugar, or glucose-fructose sirup. Many debunkers say there is no problem with glucose-fructose sirup over sucrose (plain sugar), since sucrose is just split in the body into glucose and fructose, so it's the same. But the theory went that the body regulates sugar intake by regulating the breakdown of sucrose. If it is already broken down, there is nothing stopping the cells from taking all the simple sugars and using them.

I don't know if there is any merit to that idea - it doesn't matter, it's just the pattern of the argument I find interesting - that you have to understand the metabolic pathways and what the body does with the nutrients, rather than just count calories.
There is something I dont understand about this. Is it really true that carb consumption has gone down? My own anecdotal experience is that people are drinking way more sodas and eating way more candy than they used to (in 70/80'ies my childhood).

Like where I live now every other street corner has those "mix-your-own candy bag" shops, where you pay by the 100g. There must be someone buying that stuff, since they keep popping up.
Basically what you're saying is governments should never give grants only loans.

Happy to if you present a specific question.
In your framing, did Apple not choose to say "No"? It's not like they're not aware of the situation -- you're commenting on them talking about it.

The court is providing circumstances. Apple responds to circumstances. But the only way they can respond is by determining what they want to do, and then trying to do it.

Note also that in your framing, unless you believe the court would respond to Apple attempting to pay the fee by saying "no, you had your chance, it's gone now, get out of the market", it's still Apple choosing not to sell iPhones.
I am still using nvALT and the application works despite the fact that it wasn't updated in years.

Funny personal fact is that I started to use nvALT after seeing it mentioned in a bad fiction book, one of those that you read because you get stuck somewhere and it's the only book available.

My brother lives in a well known capital city, and does it like this. He does a bit of everything: illustration, graphics for games, teaching, work for hire, etc.

As I understand it, it doesn't pay amazingly well, but he manages. Pretty sure it's a more stressful way of making a living than just working a normal job.

Living in a "big city" doesn't mean you're rich. There's cheaper parts of the city, studio apartments, flatmates, and saving up what you can.
Ok, fair, I guess you're trying to bait me into admitting that emojis are a way of expressing fundamentally different shades of emotions that are possible with ASCII.

I suppose this may be right, some people may be already thinking in emojis, the way some of my generation learned to think in emoticons.

I expect any change in the marketplace that a startup could fill is one where Apple is already non-dominant, and therefore not preventing a vacuum by occupying. Worse, in the hypothetical where Apple left the UK in order to not be bound by a UK-specific IP infringement judgment, Apple would be have greater liberty to just fire up the metaphorical photocopier.
≥ These three example pieces of flawed code did not require any cajoling; Copilot was happy to write them from straightforward requests for functional code. The inevitable conclusion is that Copilot can and will write security vulnerabilities on a regular basis, especially in memory-unsafe languages.

If people can copy paste the most insecure code from Stack Overflow or random tutorials, they will absolutely use Copilot to "write" code and it will be become the default, especially since it's so incredibly easy to use. Also, it's just the first generation tool if it's kind, imagine what similar products will accomplish in 20 years.
I think the idea is to set it high enough that not too many people will look, but low enough that after a few decades of inflation (or a few weeks of hyperinflation), it will cover most reasonable transactions, beyond buying a burger.
Lately I've come to the realization that I browse certain sites (hn, reddit, yt, etc.) when I'm bored. There is this fascination of finding something cool, educational or entertaining where part of my brain thinks 'just one more click' will satisfy and somehow I've tricked myself into thinking I'm learning or bettering myself when I'm not in any way. When not much is going on and I scan sites in the evening it is sad how many articles/posts/whatever I've already looked at during the day.

I don't have a magical answer to your question but one thing I started doing when focusing on programming is a music playlist for programming - chill, electronic, music. I lose track of time.

I think the other thing I need to do with hobbies is actually do the hobby instead of reading/watching videos about the hobby. Need to let my activity dictate what I want to enrich that hobby with later. My example is woodworking - I sub to quite a few channels and there is always something new posted. The ones that walk thru a project are neat but if I'm not doing the project then its the same as watching any random TV show at that point.
This seems like a pretty reductive take. An Ubisoft-sized company, having all the relevant data and having a huge incentive to learn everything that can be learned from it, is surely going to have some idea of the scope of the problem.

I mean, tons of people on this page are saying DRM doesn't reduce piracy and serves no purpose. But it's hard to make that position jive with the fact that the companies with tons of data on how DRM affects their bottom line keep paying for it.
Cool. I've been waiting for this since Flutter has been first announced. I will surely give it a try. I just hope you don't need to be fluent in Photoshop, CSS and a pack of libraries to create a basic table-and-buttons desktop app in it like that is with the web stack.
I also found courses that had discussions at lectures and prerequisite reading material to be the best, for more or less the same reason.
Yes, back in my BBSing days, using <grin> or (more commonly) <g> was popular before smilies such as :) took off. And when they did, we just called them smilies, even frowny face ones, not emoticons.

Obsidian really seems to be picking up steam though, with all the community plugins and everything I really need to re-evaluate it vs. Notion later.

I think you've gotten your example backwards. If you tell me "Pay $X or I'll break your legs", and I say I'll take the broken legs, and you break my legs -- you really want to argue that that's the decision branch where I wasn't really making a choice?
English has several nouns that don't change in their plural form: fish, sheep, aircraft, species, etc. Often this is because the originating language had no special plural form. I would therefore say that "emoji" is the correct pluralization of "emoji" in english.

The context is a very different one. CCTV is everywhere, but you know Apple is really only interested in security, and maybe keeping track of their own employees. They're not going to randomly make some sort of art project from their footage without lots of discussions with lawyers. I'm pretty sure they'd also make sure to get written consent from everyone involved.

We can also expect a company like Apple would be very risk averse in this regard, and keep far away from anything too weird.

Some random guy doing their own project going by just whatever seems reasonable to them and installing surveillance software on somebody else's computers isn't really the same sort of thing.
I think I recognize the logo from Flight Sim ~1983.
Every time the "how did you get into programming" discussion comes up, a large chunk of people on HN report being autodidacts. It's far more widespread in programming than any other kind of profession or speciality. I feel this hasn't been seriously investigated or taken into account.

Not googling how to teach, but skipping the entire "teaching" process altogether.
> I blame companies for exploiting that lack of understanding.

I blame governments for not protecting the weak.

Businesses always exploit their up front investments in knowledge (and equipment) to get money from customers. The problem is when they're allowed to conceal and actively mislead the public about that knowledge in order to maintain their monopoly on that knowledge. Even worse, since there's absolutely no competitive advantage in defecting, it becomes a natural cartel.

A functional government would carefully classify and explain all the elements of the problem, then determine how to regulate it through democratic processes.

The problem starts with the fact there's never been a clear right to privacy in the US. Instead it's just a phrase and a weird set of principles stitched together from ancient court decisions about celebrities. The US benefits from its freedom of speech baseline being enshrined in the constitution rather than being a patchwork (like in the UK for example.) The right to privacy should be that clear as well.
> In written Chinese and Japanese, the order of ideographs—which is what emoji are—can change the meaning. In Japanese, for example, 足下 means “near one’s feet; nearby” while 下足 means “footwear”; 行先 means “destination” while 先行 means “preceding.” The readings vary depending on the combination as well; the four combinations above are pronounced ashimoto, gesoku, yukisaki, and senkō (as well as sakiyuki), respectively.

It’s worth remembering here that Japanese is quite unusual amongst logographic writing systems in having so many readings for each character. My understanding is that many characters were loaned multiple times from different stages of Chinese, as well as being given separate Japanese readings; also there are many irregular spellings, which I believe are quite unusual in logographies. (In some ways it’s as bad as English spelling rules.) Thus, I doubt that any descendant of emojis would end up like this.

> Some ideographs, like 有 “to possess,” function in multicharacter combinations as verbs, while others, like 人 “person,” function as nouns.

I’m not quite sure what you mean here… could you give an example please?

> If such new written languages do emerge, they are likely to be specific to particular online communities. Looking through comments on Instagram for posts with the hashtags #crochet or #hanggliding, for example, I notice posts like [1] and [2], in which the comments are in several different languages. Perhaps partly to aid understanding across linguistic barriers, many comments have emoji appended to them, and some comments are emoji only.

These examples are interesting. They don’t remind me of logographies at all, but rather of something quite different, namely ideophones: ‘A vivid representation of an idea in sound’ (Doke 1935). Like ideophones, the emojis in these examples are sentence-peripheral, act grammatically and semantically as modifiers, and are highly phonologically/orthographically distinct from the rest of the text. If anything, I suspect emojis would most likely evolve into some kind of ideophone-like system. (I personally think Mark Rosenfelder’s uɣoso [https://www.zompist.com/mars/modern-hanying.html#Implants] are a particularly good attempt at projecting this into the future.)
Since we can agree that they don’t have a monopoly, we can agree that they don’t artificially create scarcity.

You’re also quite narrowly focusing on the romance angle (which is the result of successful marketing, not artificially induced scarcity). I don’t think Quavo wears an iced-out AP as a symbol of love, for instance.

The artificial scarcity argument simply defies logic. The entire worlds supply of natural diamonds was created hundreds of millions of years ago, and the earth is done making them.

Bored workers is mismanagement. At the very least, you’re not ‘bored’ if that boring job is a step-up. I work in the hospitality business. It’s demanding and very repetitive.

Maybe if you’re bored it’s time to move on and open the spot for the next guy. MY2c
