The U.S. keeps sugar prices artificially high, and sugar is the first ingredient in Oreos. [1] That is why the candy companies fled Chicago for Canada. Probably also drove Oreo mfg out as well.

I think "cruelty" implies conciousness. You can't be cruel to a calculator.

And I think pain implies conciousness. A calculator can't feel pain because it experiences nothing. To feel pain a chicken must experience something, it must be concious.
That makes sense to me. With a big influencer/creator it's a one-way relationship to the audience. With a smaller influencer/creator, it can be more two-way.

So, for example, I watch a variety of streamers on Twitch. On the larger streams, I almost never look at chat or chat myself. It's a sea of text and emotes already. No one in chat will read your message. The streamer certainly won't. So you're just listening or watching like to the radio or TV.

But a streamer with 200 viewers? You can often ask questions and get a response. It's a completely different dynamic.

I really enjoyed this.

Like most things, it's a matter of scale. If a train derails, we call in the NTSB, but they don't investigate car crashes.

The issue that I see, is that the software industry seems to be absolutely obsessed with scale. Small applications are actively sneered at. Go big, or go home.

So that means that every accident is a train wreck.

Real question: why can't you just turn off all those notifications? If someone wants to get a hold of me at work and interrupt my flow of thought they literally would have to drive to my apartment and start banging on my door.
That then raises the question of why they're paying time and a half to work their employees to death.
It's up to others to downvote this drivel. I hate to see HN go down the toilet and become another reddit.
> I mean, obviously nuclear war was averted because we ended the cold war (we changed our behavior).

I had a very spirited argument the other day about whether a unipolar world is actually more stable than a multipolar world, or not. The threat of nuclear war is ever-present, even if it is less serious now than it was in the 60s. I’m not sure where you get “obviously” in this claim.

> I believe the hole in the ozone layer was fixed by banning CFCs

The alternative explanation (which I’m sure you will be able to find a “debunking” of somewhere) is that ozone is regenerated very quickly, and the “hole” (it really was never more than a “thin spot”) in the Antarctic has improved because the South Pole is exposed to just a little more solar energy now. CFCs probably do make some difference, but they are very heavy molecules and would not accumulate much in the upper atmosphere:

(Note: That article has some data that could support this theory, but it does not reach the same conclusion. You are nevertheless encouraged to think for yourself.)
Strange, they must have also "translated" the certificate to a PhD in that case :)
I can see the confusion but users also should be mindful of the context of using an app. Often times there is no exact location for example so “routes” should be taken as a general guide rather than specific path.

If I use google map to navigate to a lake for example, I wouldn’t expect swimming instructions to the middle of the lake. In the photo in the article it looks similar. It’s just navigating to the rough vicinity, instead of an exact location.

Jet Li did motion capture for a video game within a year of the second Matrix release, so it wasn't the motion capture he was opposed to. Presumably it was Warner Bros' contract for him.
I know what docker does, I never saw a database server deployed in mass. One of my teams manage over 250 database servers, but nobody ever supported the idea of using docker for that (all the servers run on Windows).

Shipping multiple databases for multiple services does not necessarily mean multiple database servers. In the database world I saw large servers with many databases more often than multiple servers of one database each; in the second case it was the vendor laziness (cannot give the name), not than a reasonable business or technical reason. When I asked about it the answer was "we'll consolidate in the next release".
It seems like a ridiculous stretch to call two-thirds of one sentence--barely even a single thought in the grand scheme of things--a "rant".
Going on strike is deciding not to do it, and the article suggests they can't hire anyone:

> Frito-Lay has been told they need to fix this but unfortunately, when they bring in new people, they force the same schedule on them and they quit. Frito-Lay has waited so long to replace workers, and now Frito Lay has a horrible reputation in town so a lot of people won't work here.

It seems like the existing workers mostly put up with it for a while, and then it eventually fell apart like you'd expect.
You're painting the entire right as Nazis though. That's not at all accurate. Some people just don't want to be taxed, want their guns, and are afraid of the theory of evolution.

You're failing to see the huge distribution of people on both sides.

There are Nazis on both sides, but there aren't many. The majority are closer to the middle, and the media uses the extreme examples to enrage and divide for dollars.
I think its pretty safe to say lockdown created a perfect environment for these kind of relationships to blossom at much faster rate and on a much larger scale than normal. Even still, I'd be surprised if the viewership numbers didn't dip drastically on live streams, even with IRL content being offered.
It’s not 100% but not that far off https://www.eia.gov/state/?sid=WV#tabs-4 and it exports enough energy to fully power Maryland, Delaware and New Jersey (just an example for scale, all of those states produce most of their energy locally). Not trying to imply that we shouldn’t replace IC as well, but getting rid of coal powered plants seems like fairly low hanging fruit to me.
Original SC is free, but doesn't look good on HD screens.

> I have less first hand experience, but I also think the level of distrust in the government (esp. central / federal) among rural populations is particularly high in both countries by developed nation standards.

I don't think they're really comparable.

The most obvious example is policing. In the US, local law enforcement has a lot of independence and discretion, to the point "sheriff has to grudgingly cooperate with out-of-touch FBI guy" is a literary cliché. In France, in rural areas the default expectation is that gendarmerie (basically centralized military police) will handle most serious problems.

In France the central state is pervasive in a lot of areas that are either local or privatized in the US.
The problem isn't ads, it's that designing a phone for hiking has tradeoffs that make it less appealing to consumers when you are not hiking.
While I can easily understand people's aversion to tracking and advertisements, I think projects like this are really unsustainable. Storing videos, transcoding them, and then using large amounts of bandwidth to serve them isn't free; it's fair that YT is showing ads to make up for that.

I would add that if you hate advertisements, you can pay for YouTube Red or whatever they call it, and remove them. I think that's a good compromise: either you use it for free with ads, or you pay to remove them.
We were also all going to freeze in the "New Ice Age".

What judges whether an ontological question is legitimate or not? In order to ask such a question you are implying that there is something beyond the ontological questioner who can determine these things. What or who is this ultimate judge? God? A phantom? A unicorn? When you write "I, and many others, remain unconvinced" you are already under the assumption that you, and many others, can be this judge. And what is it about you, and many others, that can make this judgment? REASON!

On one level you bring forth an argument against my points about Idealism, but your implicit assumptions in your arguments bely your reliance on many of these same points that I brought up.
Since Pipewire, the Linux view on audio is changing a lot. The latencies are not what they used to be. Even if Haiku becomes more usable, it's unlikely to achieve a massive difference.
This can hardly be an obstacle in porting the OS. The board is here, pretty polished, feature-rich, easily affordable and available.

Obviously the HaikuOS developers have just found RISC-V easier and having more potential. Or somebody just has sponsored the effort.
I can appreciate this, but isn't one of YouTube's biggest selling points its recommendations?

I really don't want to see what is trending for YouTube's primary demographic, because I'm certainly not in it.
I think part of the problem could be the lack of ample map keys and symbols in most digital maps. Most of the time they rely on some bit of convention from analog maps but don’t have the richness of old maps.

Some GIS maps do have rich information and keys, but not these digital navigation maps. Without those keys people have to make more assumptions.
That still doesn't mean it lacks concrete objectively measurable symptoms.
You should ask yourself what it is you desire most in the long term. To work fully remote and tackle side projects, or to network with founders.

Are both possible? Can you network the way you want while working from CA? Networking has never been easier. Can you travel to WA once in a while to scout the tech scene? Is the time commitment acceptable for you?

Can you instead network with people closer to where you live? Isn't there a huge health tech industry in CA? Can you make something out of that?
Here's what that line looks like currently: https://i.imgur.com/tougs6p.png (note: this is with the updated end-point at visitor center, probably won't have gone through loch previously)

It's de-emphasised, doesn't show up in directions, is a perfectly smooth curve rather than conforming to paths/roads, and doesn't have the label saying to walk it.

I think the vast majority of people would correctly interpret it as just showing the distance between the end-point and the destination set and I don't think it's necessarily bad UI. But still, with the popularity of Google maps and potential danger in misinterpreting it, it's probably worth considering ways to make it even clearer.
Great game, one of my favorites. Tie Fighter, Freespace 2, and Starlancer have been undisputed champions in their genre. Everspace came close for me, but it lacked a compelling story.

Companies could be held liable for gross misconduct. Although GDPR is not exactly a shining example of IT regulation, I think it's a good example of liability.

Companies get fined for breaking GDPR.

Governmental projects should have similar requirements in place, and companies and people should be held accountable for breaking them.
No, their recommendations to me are their worst selling point. The recommendations I get must be paid promotions cause they are nothing like the things I watch, and seem to be clickbait.
We still have more nukes than ever, plenty to destroy all major metropolitan centers, and exterminate 1-2 billion people. We still have corrupt and war hungry people in power (and a sense that they can meddle everywhere without repurcursions), and so on.

So, we didn't exactly change anything on that front.

We still have worse than ever pollution, increased industrial production, several times increased fossil fuel burning, etc. So much for doing something for acid rain then. What happened was just that industry moved to China and elsewhere, so we exported the problem from where 12% of the global population lives (US and Europe) to where 40% lives.

And so on...
If you use Google Maps on the regular, you'll be used to a solid blue line (yellow or red if there's traffic) on the car's route. I don't remember the first time I came across the dotted line, but I certainly don't remember having a hard time figuring out what that meant. Apparently this isn't the case for everyone, though.

Also, I'm a nove hiker at best, but even I know that there's essentially zero hikes where the shape of the trail is a nice arc across the map like the one in the story. I'm legitimately baffled that anyone would have thought that was a suggested path to the peak.
Minitube is open source and uses Qt, so it is extremely fast.
Not sure what you're doing then, because my recommendations are great and never clickbait. My only problem is they're too much like what I've already been watching, rather than a little deviation from it.

Another part of it is that clickbait YouTubers continue to push clickbait and are associated with other clickbait. Just don't watch anything from them, and you tend to get less clickbait overall, because your recommendations are more likely to come from less trashy sources.
I can't tell based on the GitHub description whether this is a website or some code you run locally. Like, I don't really know what a replacement front-end is. Is it a Chrome extension? I clicked the documentation and that didn't really answer anything for me. It's a Java backend, a Golang proxy, and a JS frontend? How do I actually use it?

I tried Googling "piped" and "piped youtube" and couldn't find any reference so I assume it's not a website. I could imagine using this, but not if I have to run it myself.

That was one of the games I played. I did have a Worm Light for playing in the car but don't recall otherwise using it.

Of course, I later modded my GBA twice to make it more satisfying to play. The first added a TV out. The second was the Afterburner front light which I did not do a very good job with.

Constructivism (including the kind that precludes uncountable infinities) is not inherently more shocking than classical mathematics. It only seems surprising because classical mathematics has become the default formalism.
Nope. He is just like a prisoner coming up for parole who doesn't want to get into any trouble that will affect his release.

You might want to analyze that idea of consensus in the late 1770s. At the onset of the American Revolution, at least a third of the fledgling country was monarchist to one degree or another and bloody, deadly fights between independence sympathizers and monarchists were common among the civilian population (I'm not even speaking here of military hostilities). People were often lynched or tarred and feathered in the streets for saying the wrong thing. Tarring and feathering are not nearly the funny things their description might bring t mind by the way.

The VC community is in denial about how much Go resembled a problem purpose built to be solved by deep neural networks.
That's because it's slum tourism and residents hate being the unwilling cast of a sideshow attraction. "Oh honey, look at the locals inhaling the toxic plume wafting off this mess we can safely leave behind forever in a few minutes. Say cheese!"

There's a neighborhood by me which has earned a similar reputation and the residents have been known to tell slum tourists to leave.

Its gross. Don't do that.
Hard to compare exchange rates like that, especially for the Soviet ruble. One way to look at it is buying power equivalence. I found some sources for the 1980s in the USSR that give typical household incomes in the range of about 75 - 300 rubles per month. That gives some sense for the cost for the average person. Around a month's wages, give or take. Of course, prices can be misleading in a command economy. One might simply not have been able to buy it at the official price, and either waited and waited, or went black/grey market.

> That phenomenon also occurs in classical computable analysis. The subsystem RCA0 of second-order arithmetic has a model in which every real number is computable. But this subsystem still proves that there is no surjection N -> R.

Huh? It's trivial to create an injection R -> N, by encoding each computational algorithm - whether valid or invalid - as a number.
This is interesting. I’ve personally only ever seen the word “solarpunk” here on HN and on sites linked to on here. I’m kind of curious as to how big this community is.

For example, I learned about steampunk when I asked about why somebody had copper gears on their hat and somebody explained it to me. I learned about cyberpunk from, well, growing up in the 90s. They both immediately evoke specific aesthetics unique to them, and it’s not hard to think of seminal movies/models/novels/music for each one.

I do not have this association with solarpunk.

I wasn’t unable to picture the solarpunk aesthetics based off the list of bullet points aside from Miyazaki with a lot of bikes, which I doubt is the whole thing.

What are some examples of solarpunk art? Who are some solarpunk evangelists? Does this actually exist outside of a phrase used by posters on Hacker News?

Edit: I have looked further into this and it’s just… odd.

I don’t mean to sound ridiculous but I’m still kind of confused about as to whether this is an actual movement or a very small handful of people trying to astroturf some anime-techno-utopia philosophy (that seems to explicitly seems to forbid any criticism of tech) while using the language of folks that have actually created art and formed good-faith communities over decades.

It kind of reads like something a bunch of tech CEOs and VCs cooked up as a “philosophy” in which they’re the ultimate saviors and criticizing tech is the ultimate sin.

I mean, even if this is some goofy Elon-Musk-Stoned-Shouting-At-Everyone nonsense, whoever decided to pursue this as an aesthetic and a movement didn’t bother to come up with anything beyond Miyazaki? Couldn’t even pick out what a solarpunk hat or jacket or computer would look like before shipping this “ideology” off to the presses?
Right but the remote worker will spend money locally keeping the local economy going. And do you not pay local income tax? The only possible downside is if they're hooked on convenience and order everything online from amazon or whatever instead of patronising local shops.
The continued occupation of Germany and Japan is far less fraught. Yes controversies arise, but not on the level of hostilities experienced in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Fun stuff, but I struggled to get a lot of value out of using it for level gen. You get cool patterns, but levels need structure and intent to be interesting. Adding constraints to the algorithm becomes a big-oh nightmare and you end up with frequently unsolvable paths as the algorithm recurses.

The game Bad North used it to good effect, so depending on the game it may be a very useful tool in the toolbelt.

Thermal infrared would do it. (Lower the albedo, the more blackbody radiation is emitted) The JWST would be great for comet spotting, but unfortunately it's going to be used for stellar observation instead of sky surveys. Putting another ten of them in orbit would be great, but so far the JWST has taken 25 years and more than ten billion dollars to build. Infrared also won't spot a comet until it's far enough into the solar system to warm up.

Radar is tempting, but the tyranny of the inverse square law limits its use. (Worse-- the pulse has to make it out to the object, and then be reflected back. Inverse fourth power!) All those great radar images of asteroids made by Arecibo were done during their closest approach to Earth. This[1] claims its useful range was "~2 lunar distances". This was with a 305 meter dish and 1 MW of transmit power! Also, Arecibo collapsed, and nobody seems to be in a hurry to build a replacement. (The 500 meter dish in China doesn't have a transmitter)

Assuming you have infinite power, (With a moon-based dish, maybe, otherwise your gigawatts of power just ionize the air in front of the feed horn) you have other practical problems. Bigger the dish, better the gain, narrower the beam width. Arecibo had a 2 arcminute beam. 60 arcminutes to the degree: 21,600 arcminutes to a full circle. Assuming you're surveying out to Jupiter's orbit, 43 minutes for the pulse to get out there, 43 minutes back: 645 days to survey a strip 2 arcminutes wide and 360 degrees long. Which... wouldn't have caught C/2020 F8 (SWAN), which came in 110 degrees off the ecliptic. Surveying the entire night sky would take 6,074.9 years. Just out to Jupiter! You're not even looking into the cloud of outer objects, just spotting infalling ones.

This is my preferred option: Simply pay (in the worst case, a subscription, in the best case, a one-time fee) to get rid of the ads. If I spend more than 10 hours a week on a platform (e.g. YouTube, Reddit, Twitch), I will gladly pay to keep the ads away.

I only wish Gmail gave me the option to do this.
One estimate provided by public health experts in Myanmar predicts that 50% of Myanmar’s 55 million people will be infected within three weeks by either the Alpha or Delta variant of Covid-19.

One very reputable public health specialist expects that the population will be decimated by at least 10-15 million by the time Covid is done with Myanmar.
