I don't have the expectation that putting 2D photos onto a 3D would magically work. I expect to need to convert them (it's a bit much to assume that I would think otherwise).

I don't expect to have to buy credits to convert them. There's no mention that I need to, until you get to the extras page when you go to purchase. That changes the entire set of assumptions I had (from "I can play with this and use it to explore whatever I find interesting", to "I have to pay to use it in a way they dictate").

Since then I've found that you probably don't need to do that. But that's not the impression that 'extra' gives. They don't mention anywhere that you don't need the credits to do the conversion.
101% disagree. In my opinion, social media and comment sections are already a fire-hose of negativity without consequences. We don't need to enable passive-aggressive hate any further.
“ vCJD or “classic” CJD, which is not known to be caused by prions from animals. Classic CJD strikes an estimated one person per million. Some 80% of cases are sporadic, meaning they have no known cause, ”

Who knows really. 10 years is a long time to wait and worry, but it can take up to 50 years to express itself. Just imagine spending your whole life worrying about this.
It's so that they can figure out why the process wasn't being followed and how it can be improved. Nothing is perfect and accidents are a great catalyst for reexamining your procedures.

What could change to make it more likely that the process would be followed? Could we put signs all around places with prion research? Could we implement a buddy system whenever we work with prions? Do metal gloves need to be hung in visible place throughout the lab? Do we keep containers of bleach accessible for when someone pricks their finger? Do we have enough of them and are they visible enough?

I guess I was a little unclear. My point was that if these things are happening, then there are ways to counter them that don't involve government intervention.

And the parent comment was talking about how a strike due to right-to-repair would backfire which, to me, was implying that strikes couldn't work at all. I don't believe that's true which is why I pointed out that a strike could help for other issues. I don't know what else a farmer might strike over in terms of the issues they currently face, so I just reused what the parent comment was stating as fact. But if there are other similar issues affecting them now, you could swap one of those in.
CJD isn't contagious, unless you start eating the brain of your friends.
Yep. A “dedicated root server”, though, is dedicated hardware. They start at about 30-40 €/mo. TFA does not mention cloud servers (virtual machines) at all.

Virtual machines from Hetzner, however, always come with an IPv4 address. For security reasons, I’d much prefer to get them without one (I disable the interface and firewall it 100% anyway), but it’s not an option to get a virtual machine without the public IPv4 address. One would think they’d provide that option if they are already hitting commercial limits with the IPv4 address space.
Possibly. That was after the INSTALL ALL THE MAGIC refit, wasn't it?
This reminds me of those early 1900s nuclear researchers who got exposed to radiation poisoning which eventually took a long term toll.

I especially dislike the age requirement of 21 instead of 18 that result in being asked my ID when I'm in my 30's because it's very hard to differentiate between adults (in contrast someone under 18 is easy to spot, so there is way less ambiguity and ID asking, you really have to look like a kid to be asked).

Yea but you guys have LoneStar which is pretty similar.
this is a nitpick, but "negative externality" isn't a synonym for "bad things happening". It describes a market transaction which inherently imposes costs on an unrelated third party.

For instance, a steel mill producing rolling stock to sell me releases sulfur into the air that dirties your property, imposing a cost on you.

Prion research doesn't necessarily impose costs on anyone.

I don't think I agree at all.

Some of my favorite comments I've made here are the ones that get downvoted. They point me to places where one of several interesting scenarios has occurred, such as, but not limited to:

1) I'm right, other people have not yet realized it and the way I'm expressing it doesn't make it clear that there's a good argument there. This is a fantastic opportunity.

2) I'm wrong about something, and haven't yet realized how. This is extremely valuable information because my own cognitive biases mean that it's difficult for me to discover through introspection.

3) lots of other possibilities too!

When I stumble upon making a comment that gets unexpected downvotes, I have come across some of the most valuable information HN can give me.

If I make a comment that I know will get lots of downvotes, I'm just wasting everybody's time. If I share something interesting that I think will get lots of upvotes, I may give some good information to others, but otherwise I'm mostly validating myself, which isn't a great use of my time.

But most of the time I'm not commenting with any thoughts to votes, it's just about discussion. The votes just serves as a standin for body language that we'd get if we were talking face to face.

First of all, qsort in C is not in-lineable and not even visible with LTO since it tends to be implemented in the C library while std::sort is always visible. Yes you can bring your own qsort, but that misses the point - you could just manually inline the comparison function at that point.

Secondly. std::sort is a template with the type of the comparator being a template parameter. This means that if you use a lambda or functor as the comparator, the template will create a std::sort instance that always calls that comparater and the decision to inline the comparator is relatively simple. In controst, for the qsort example the compiler will need to either inline the whole qsort at the call site (which happens in your example) or create a specialized copy of the qsort function for your comparator. If you switch the compiler to GCC neither happens in this case (it does specialize it for some of the other parameters, but not the comparison function).
Sounds right, thank you.
These mad scientists need to be stopped. How about all research into gain of function, genetic engineering viruses, prions, etc. need to have a moratorium. There is too much risk & not enough transparency on all levels.

We don't hear about all of the problems. I wonder what else is wrong and what happened. Whistleblowers need protection, not punishment.

Water exerts pressure in a single direction too: down. There is no PSI gradient in the lateral direction. This is intuitive because there is no force acting in that direction. I do not believe water molecules ever find a topological equilibrium in a liquid phase. Because then they would be a solid or a crystal. Water as a liquid can flow but it still only exerts pressure in the downward direction. To my analogy, pennies can slide or move from one stack to another (e.g. waves). The only thing affecting the pressure on the bottom penny of a given stack at a given instant is the number of pennies in that same stack resting on top of it. What is going on in the adjacent stacks does not matter, because gravity only pulls down.

If I've learned anything from launching a product thats getting some real traction, there is no _Later_, and _Next_ keeps slipping further into the future. It's okay to move a little bit slower and make sure you get decisions right since you'll likely never come back to what you're working on now, and if you do it'll be years later. This doesn't mean that you should sit there and built everything out today as if you're Googlescale, but don't be afraid to move a little bit slower and consider some more options including rolling your own if it makes sense.

Vis-à-vis HN and the discussion of down-voting here specifically:

There are definitely times when the down-voting is pathetically petty and inane. One of the most glaring examples I've noticed is this: any time somebody makes a post asking for book recommendations in any form (eg, "What's a book that influenced you?" or "What books do you recommend for $REASON?", or however they choose to phrase it), no matter what the rest of the content of your response is, IF you include anything by Ayn Rand you will get down-voted.

That's it... just mentioning an Ayn Rand book like The Fountainhead or Atlas Shrugged will provoke some people to downvote you. You could scarcely get more petty and ridiculous if you tried.

It's not like I'm even talking about overtly political threads, or a comment that specifically endorses Rand or her philosophy / ideology / etc. That I could (almost) understand the occasional downvote at least, just because her stuff is moderately controversial in some circles.

But to think that merely having the audacity to include a certain author's books on a list is reason to downvote a comment? And it wouldn't matter if it were Rand or anybody, the fundamental point is the same. It's one thing to dislike an author, but "C'mon, man..." as they say.
They can't arrest all of us. :-)
All the mainstream stuff is extremely artificial tasting and gross. Spiced is bad too. Bacardi, Kraken, Captain Morgan, etc.

Havana Club, Appleton, Mount Gay are all fine. The best intro for sipping neat for most folks is probably Ron Diplomatico, it's on the sweeter side.

There is much, much greater breadth and depth to rums than whiskeys and scotches.
> I've just been reading the interview requirements. I need to study spectral analysis, amongst other things. Then sit through a "1-2 hour" interview. To take the interview I MUST be on my home network, I must have my VPN etc. disabled. I must use a laptop/PC, not a mobile device. Can't use CLI for IRC. Other requirements as well.

The content was probably taken wholesale from the original What.CD interview. I think What.CD wanted to ensure that people uploading new content (a core part of a private tracker) were able to distinguish obvious FLAC>MP3>FLAC conversions, since most lossy codecs have a lowpass filter which would be quite obvious with spectral analysis.

Turning off VPN etc is probably to allow the tracker to fingerprint you, and make sure that rule-breakers aren't blatantly attempting to register for a new account.

> Is the community/content exceptional?

I think many people treated What.CD's interview and progression as a stepping stone into other private trackers, since their invite forums (available once you upload enough content) were exceptional.

What's successors (RED and Orpheus) are carrying on in the same fashion.
if we have some dangerous prion, and some person is bypassing procedure, that still is needing some evaluation. prion escape and becoming common in populations would be a large disaster.

I'm still waiting for VPCs in Hetzner. In theory within a VPC you assign IPs in the internal range, so no need to public IPv4. I know this is not a solution for everyone, but at least for me it would mean:

- 1 public IP for my nginx server
- N private IPs for my application/db/monitoring servers within the VPC
Your second quote is the reason why: the administrative controls that are supposed to prevent this sort of incident at any of the labs inarguably failed in this case, and there is no reason to believe they will not fail again.

In addition, these controls may be based on false and overly-optimistic assumptions about the risk these pathogens pose.

For either of these reasons, returning to the status quo ante may not be an adequate response. In general, administrative and procedural controls are inferior to uncircumventable physical barriers.

very much this. i would really like to see the actual number of up and downvotes on a post.
Honestly, I think the worst part of the self delusion. If you are consciously making the trade off with your eyes wide open and the data to back it up, then sure. That's not what i observe though. I see people who honestly don't see what they are doing wrong, and why their developers aren't making awesome stuff that will make them competitive.

They actually think they are doing everything right.
Same with GCP, they just announced IPv6 availability for VMs in the last few days. Unbelievably you couldn't even get a IPv6 address for a GCP instance up to now! APIs don't work over IPv6, and lots of other stuff doesn't as well.
> I understand that upvotes-only systems are more compatible with your ego,

This is criticism, IMO it's stupid criticism that should deserve a downvote, but you still wasted time to write it and it's ok, according to OP view of things, you responded to his words with some ad hominem attack, it's pointless and dumb in my opinion, but you put in the effort to respond and presented your arguments.

Compare it to the blind downvoting, you get downvoted, with no reasoning, not knowing who did it and if you get 4 of them your comment gets hidden.

Just 4.

I much prefer your ad hominems to hypotetical perfectly valid downvotes.

At least now people can form an opinion on what you wrote.

With downvotes people just assume that the comment was worthless or worse.

What if you had to reply to the comment before being able to downvote it?

It would at least be a bit less anonymous.
Apart from the "skip breakfast" stuff it's seems like common sense and what generations before us have done since forever. Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.

I like a 10% fat yogurt with muesli and some nuts and dried fruit in the morning. Fills you up enough to make it to lunch without snacking. Other than that, I think most people already do this? Most importantly perhaps is the: Don't snack in the evening! Sure, have 2 dried prunes with your tea or something, don't eat a bag of crisps or cookies.

I think most people do genuinely have to kick sugary habits. It's tough, maybe near impossible.

Why even plug a phone at all ?

Scan your retina and have the screens broadcast your zero latency always on desktop running in the cloud that seamlessly updates, never has to stop or reboot and backs up every single interaction you have done in the past decade.

The screens turn off and disconnect as you walk away and reconnect to your phone (now merely a pocket-screen) with all applications adapting to whatever size of the screen.

Oh and of course your earbuds have been connected the whole time broadcasting any audio that might be playing in the desktop without interruption.

Not to be picky, but the GPL would not stop someone "making major changes, and releasing it as proprietary software for consoles and make a lot of money in the process."

The only difference is that they would be obligated to release the source code. Given that the list of folk who can compile for consoles is very limited, this would not be an existential burden for them.

Indeed, even if they targeted a common development platform, like a PC or Mac, they would still be able to offer lots of value, and easily sell copies if there was a market for that. The vast majority of players would happily pay $49 for a compiled version of the game rather than go to the effort of compiling themselves.

In other words, the GPL and MIT licenses are orthogonal to making money - making money selling compiled GPL programs is not hard - assuming the program has some value to someone.
Yup. No problem whatsoever.

I also had several resources there for years. Never got anything to complain about.
Makes complete sense that there was resistance until a viable mechanism was proposed. Otherwise it just sounds like voodoo.

This isn't a justification to lead with something inane and generic. It's simply a reason why sensitive topics should be discussed in planned circumstances, like a phone call, meeting, etc.

Getting pinged with generic 'hi', 'you there', 'hello' messages that have zero context are one of the most disruptive things that one can be subjected to with real time messaging. If a message clearly states a need or intent, the recipient can glance at it and make an instant determination about prioritization of any response/change in workflow.
My point is that "new enough to have DRM depending on who you bought it from" machines represent the majority of heavy equipment out there in the US.
